[TCELESBHSUP]

Rhialla was entirely unharmed, by the looks of it. She was perfectly safe, she just had to discard her vestments so they wouldn't catch alight! "I... No, I can't do that, you know that... You know that very well." She sounded quite adamant, as though she were willing to fight her own sister. Verbally, at least. She didn't think she could ever come to blows with her own flesh and blood. Soon, she returned the hug, if only for a brief moment. She needed to get redressed! And soon, she was covered up by steel, giving a nod. Kasidra would've noticed that she was notably a lot warmer. "I can't just do that."

[Motoko]

Kasidra nods and smiles shrugging her shoulders, picking up one of the discarded pieces of armor and assisting her sister to get it on as best she could "Well. At least your resolve is still strong. I can give you that. She wasn't quite sure how to put the armor together but her sister would obviously guide her "Well. Since I have nothing better to do, and I would hate to see you loose your life to your foolish beliefs I'll stick with you. But don't think I'm doing this to help people I'm only helping because you are."

[TCELESBHSUP]

Bowing her head to her sister gratefully as Kasidra offered her aid in donning her armour, she would give a smile. "Thank you, sister. I'm glad to see you again." And she truly was. The smile on her lips and the look in her eyes told it all. She was very happy to see her sister, even if she still hadn't changed... She supposed that blood was hard to go against. She knew that much. Her own celestial blood brought her great joy in helping others. Indeed, it gave her a birthmark, and her very fingerprints pointed to her worship of Sarenrae, and her adherence to Her Doctrines. Taking her sister's hand and picking up her bag, she would walk back to the center of the room, tossing her pack within the cart. Seemed she didn't need it anymore... Her CAPE told her that she'd set anything flammable she came into close contact with on fire if kept close for ten minutes.

Garian relaxed himself, holding his breath as he did, he was calm since he knew this was going to happen and wished he could see, he tried not to move as that would exert energy and when the hands touched his crotch, he held on to not moan softly from it, afraid to lose what breath he had.

[Taria]

"It is true, I probably look like a familiar creature to your eye, but to mine you are very strange." The undine slowly wraps her body around Kal as her insubstantial form crashes and flows. "But even within you my kind exists..." The undine begins squeezing Kal closer and closer as her face begins to be getting buried into her supple, watery cleavage. "I think I will help you help you, friend." It is distinctly becoming harder and harder to not choke on water as you are submerged within her body. She feels her entire body turn cold as your skin seems to peel away for the water to flow through. She reflexively tries to cough, but the water settles within her lungs without complication. The element slowly begins to fade as she seeps into Kal's skin, making her feel burdened with hydraulic pressure. Undiluted elemental water erupts from Kal's body in a 5 foot burst.

The earth feels tighter and tighter around Garian's body even as the pressure paradoxically seems to be releasing. He feels his sense of awareness expanding as his physical form is nurtured by the surrounding soil. His cock is stroke more and more by the being within the earth as he is free to explore this strange new sensations. He does not even feel the need to breath as the soil itself provides him nutrients. It easy to become lost in these sensations, cut off from the world above, eventually however the sensations are brought to a climax with Garian finally spilling his seed into the earth. Garian is worried for a moment about how he will return to the surface, but seemingly willing himself to rise proves effective. All that's left of the oread from before seems to be a thick seed, the size of his thumb, left within his palm...

Kisidra:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

You sense a disturbance in the void, as if the space between planes is being torn open... leaving room for something else to seep in. A cursory glance towards one of the nearby portals confirms your suspicions that something bad is about to happen.

The light that once spread to the multiple corners of the room reappears and converges on towards the middle, causing Rhialla and Kasidra to take a step back for Bia to reappear. Bia smiles warmly, particularly in Rhialla's direction, as she congratulates the group. "Good work on gaining a connection with each of your individual elements, as varied as those methods might have been. When it comes to Academy, however, result are looked upon more prominently then the methods. Now if you'll excuse me..." Bia makes a polite curtsy to everyone present before quickly rushing towards the northern exit, "I need to go input your test results to the committee. It would be best if you'd remain her for a while, I should be right back." (roll sense motive)

[TCELESBHSUP]

"Is... Everything alright, Bia?" Rhialla would ask politely, following after her a bit from natural curiosity and worry. She could just FEEL how disturbed she was, and with great ease. Something was bothering her, but what? She didn't know. But she wanted to find out. And the smile was a tiny bit off-putting at first, though she'd returned it. Perhaps it was because she was the first to make a connection?

[Motoko]

Krisidra glances around the room, suddenly grabbing her sisters arm as tight as she could dragging her along with her with a hiss "We need to leave. Now!" she would say chasing after this woman that undoubtedly sent her sister here. "you there stop!" she would growl, her tail lashing violently as she gave chase. "Stick with me sis. Something is very wrong here!" She would snap her fingers suddenly, her raven would slide out from underneath her cloak "Stop her." She would say pointing to Bia. her raven would launch off of her shoulder looking to fly in front of the woman to stop her be it by just getting in her way or pecking her eyes out.

[Goryokaku]

Kal was somewhat surprised by the sudden forwardness from the Undine though the embrace was good and the feeling of the watery cleavage gave Kal some ideas, her mind started to panic when she was struggling to breath and the feeling of cold going through her body made her think she was dying. Coughing instinctly the water invaded her mouth flowing into her lungs and the pressure her body felt it was going under as the Elemental seeped into her skin. Kal thought it was over when suddenly the elemental water erupted from her body in a 5 foot burst, it was a strange sensation and she gasped loudly when it was over laying there in the water, wondering what to think about what had transpired.

She looked to the cenetr when she heard Bia voice and so her rushing off, that was strange, suspicous even. "Am i the only one here thinking she's hiding something from us?"

Kal turned to look at Krisidra this was her first time noticing the Tiefling and it surprised her whats more she seemed very agitated. "Whats happened?"

[That_One_Guy]

Garian looks at the seed in his hand before smiling and putting it away, he will plant her in a grand forest and will make sure she grows to a magnificent tree like he told her he would. He then looked over where Bia was once again appearing to talk of the tests, he moved to try and get in her way, "Hey wait a minute, you just appeared, tell us more of these tests." He asked her.

[Taria]

The woman creatures a wall of force as the raven flies over towards her, and she stops just short of slamming into. "I'm sorry, something is going wrong and I need to fix it without putting any of you in further danger. You are safest here..." With that apology Bia turns her head back towards the portal and steps through, her body fading out of existence just as before.

[TCELESBHSUP]

A slow sigh rolled out of Rhialla's lips as she was told to stay put... She just wanted to help. But, she would listen, turning and walking back to her sister, armour clinking. It felt cold against her skin... But it was progressively warming up. So that was good. Either way, she looked amidst the people present- where did that one fellow go... Oh well. He probably gave up after seeing everyone approach an elemental. Might not have felt welcome, seeing as there were five of them and only four elementals. "... Should we wait here?"

[Motoko]

Kasidra growled and stomped her booted foot on the floor glaring at the woman smoke pouring out from her lips as she snaps her fingers, sonya returning to her shoulder with a shrill caw. "there is something seriously bad happening on this plane." she would say spinning around to face towards her sister, her glowing golden eyes narrowed as she crosses her arms infront of her chest "And I don't think whatever it is is an accident. "her eyes were focused on her sister, gnoring everyone else. She didn't care about what they had to say, it was as if she didn't even notice them. "So we better be prepared for the -worse-."

[That_One_Guy]

Garian wanted to follow but didn't know how to follow her and looked around at the others, unsure of what to do at this moment, "So....what're we going to do now?" He asked them, wondering if there was anything in the room he can use or do as well as looking for another way out of the place.

[TCELESBHSUP]

"... I don't know. I think we should wait." Still entirely unsure of what she should truly do despite what she said, Rhialla stepped back from her donkey and cart, sitting on her knees quietly. Her hand came to her neck- specifically, to touch at her holy symbol as she thought, fiddling with the beautiful pendant and shutting her eyes. Under her breath, she would utter soft prayers to her Lady Sarenrae, partially to pass the time, mostly because she wished to. It was odd for her to pray when it wasn't dawn, at the waking hour of the Sun, but she wished to pay respect to Her at this moment either way.

[Goryokaku]

Kal stood up in the water and moved to her clothes, she quickly got dressed, putting on her entertainer's outfit and her boots of the cat before slinging the back over her back. She looked at Kasidra, "you think something bad is going to happen?" She wondered if Celebrilith would be needed or not she could always just summon a temporary ally instead if they needed to fight, she listened to what the others were saying and nodded. "If Bia told us to stay it's probably for a good reason, though I didn't like how she was trying to avoid telling us what was wrong, so it's up to you guys if we go through the portal or not."

[Taria]

An unnatural chill fills the air as the different elemental areas of the room around exude an eerie black smoke-like mist. A thick black form begins rushing towards the five of you from the portal that Bia left in, but it flickers and disconnects from that particular plane just in time to avoid releasing whatever THAT was. All of the portals begin to flicker in this manner, either as some sort of built in safety precaution, or an unusual malfunction. They seem to be cycling through multiple planar exits, the one to the north is still sealed off to you by the wall of force at this moment. Eerily familiar figures begin to emerge from the mist, each bearing dangerous-looking, twisted claws.

[TCELESBHSUP]

Quickly climbing to her feet, Rhialla would reach for her scimitar- wasn't there. Fuck. She left it in her cart because she didn't have a belt for it... Right... Taking in a deep breath, she would leave her hand on her holy symbol, looking... Well, terrified. She didn't like this. She didn't like this at all. "I-Ifrit..." She whispered, staring directly at the flaming elemental. The only one that she knew proper of the rest of them. And, naturally, the one she was most attached to, with her service to the flame. She truly didn't want to fight any of them... However, she would defend herself if she had to.

[Goryokaku]

Kal turned to see the fuss and the image of Undine worried her, did the only thing she really could do she summoned in a monster to fight for her. Though she made a mental note to bring in Celebilith once this fight was over.

[MiscChaos]

Suzu doesn't know what just happened to her new friend, she just knows that it doesn't look good and it gives her the creeps. Still, she doesn't have any proof that this freaky version of Feather is hostile, so she's going to refrain from attacking it for now. Instead, she pulls out her harp and begins to play a song of brave souls locked in combat to bolster the confidence of her teammates. Once they've proven whether the scary elementals are enemies or not, then she'll focus on actually taking them down.

[Taria]

The twisted nether sylph lets out a harpy like scree and charges straight for the nearest target, who just happens to be Kal. The creature tears into her with both claws, the rending talons piercing her flesh which is then followed by an acidic burn. (11 total damage to Kal)
