“And I believe this may call for a proper introduction, and well Don't you see, I'm the narrator and this is just the prologue” [/center] Rhyme twirled the still existent ribbons around his wrists and gave a strong pull. The ribbons tightened and the kunai came flying out of the tree backwards and flew in an arc above his friends and families heads. “Swear to shake it up, if you swear to listen Oh, we're still so young, desperate for attention I aim to be your eyes, trophy boys, trophy wives” [/center] The kunai finished their arc and began to fly toward Prometheus again, which he deflected again with a flick of his wrists. Rhyme knew his father wouldn’t fall for the same trick twice, so he sent half his kunai to keep the man busy as the other half began to weaken the branches above their heads. “Swear to shake it up, and you swear to listen Oh, we're still so young, desperate for attention I aim to be your eyes, trophy boys, trophy wives” [/center] Prometheus kept the kunai at bay this time, knowing what they could do, but he was too busy to notice the five missing, since Rhyme kept them moving so fast. Then, when the branches began to fall, he got pelted with them, as Rhyme danced around the falling branches, dodging them easily.

((Random Rei moment #3))
When Makashi spoke to Rei in her mind, she instinctively froze, her skin becoming cold...well, a little cooler than usual. Who, or what, was that? She could hear the voice, but she couldn't hear it. Slowly, so as not to draw the attention of the others, Rei turned to see if she could find the voice's source. It didn't take too long without her sharp eyes. Her sky blue orbs widened slightly when she spotted the two men standing side by side. They didn't look dangerous or threatening, but then again, neither did she and Rhyme knew that could quickly change. She stared at the men, with an expression of shock, confusion, a dash of fear, and slight curiosity.
It was the sound of falling branches that drew her attention back the fight. She almost, almost laughed when the branches continuously hit Prometheus and not Rhyme, but managed to keep her composure. 'He's doing so well!' Very briefly, Rei wondered if her thoughts would be answered again. She would just have to be aware of the men while watching Rhyme and not make too big a deal out of it until necessary.

Prometheus, with a blast of power, threw all the branches away from him. He then grabbed on that looked somewhat straight, and gave it a twirl. It would be good enough to knock some sense into his son, since his magic seemed to have no effect. Rhyme just grinned when he saw this, his old man couldn’t have picked a worse time in the song to try and go melee. Swear to shake it up, you swear to listen Swear to shake it up, you swear to listen Swear to shake it up, you swear to listen Swear to shake it up, swear to shake it up [/color][/center] Rhyme grinned as he threw his coat toward his mother and sister, and pulled his Baton out of his pants loop. He gave his hand a quick snap and the baton grew to a full length staff. He then ran toward his father and gave a flip as their staffs collided. Rhyme was more flexible then he looked, his leather coat just restricted his movements most of the time. With that off though, he was much lighter from all the stuff in the sleeves and more flexible. Swear to shake it up, if you swear to listen Oh, we're still so young, desperate for attention I aim to be your eyes, trophy boys, trophy wives [/color][/center] Rhyme and his father fought using the staffs, having the hitting into each other, not giving any ground. Then, suddenly, Rhyme threw his staff into the air, and as his father looked up, jumped over him and landed on his hands. When he did he began to spin very quickly as he kicks were blocked by the staff. Then, with one of spin kick before he flipped again, he got his father in the stomach. Swear to shake it up, if you swear to listen Oh, we're still so young, desperate for attention I aim to be your eyes [/color][/center] Rhyme then flipped back over his crouching father and caught his staff. Giving his father a good whack on the head with it as he laid clutching his stomach. ”Well dad, want to shake it up?”

Makashi and Gavin clapped thier hands, seeing this as the conclusion of the battle and they walked towards the little group, Gavin was rather quiet as they walked, though Makashi muttered various thoughts to himself. Sure, it wasn't wise to walk over to a small (or large) party after they had fought, but the two didn't feel much to worry about.
"Marvelous, well done." Makashi praised with a nod to Rhyme as he clapped his hands, "Though you, sir. Could use some schooling perhaps. If you're lucky your son here might just accept you as a student, though I doubt such a thing would happen." Makashi shrugged, kind of a tough luck deal. "Rhyme, you did stunningly, congratulations on kicking your father's ass... or more precisely his stomach." He shrugged.
Though no words of praise were given from Rhyme's teacher, the person who's job it really was to say all the nice things about Rhyme's magic... it was odd that he would be so quiet finally he said something, "He did... adequately." He nodded, looking solemn on the outside, though inside he was all smiles. He would have rather given Rhyme a high five and a thumbs up, rather than a rather cold shoulder... but he had his reasons.
(Geez, i just compaired Rhyme's relationship with his father to Gavin and his relationship with his father and they're remarkably similar... except of course, Rhyme didn't kill any of his siblings... but that's besides the point.)

When the battle with the staffs commenced, Rei's eyes lit up. she remembered when she and Rhyme had done a songspell with staffs. She had found out she was really quite good with one. When the fight ended with a bang-...I mean, a 'bonk', Rei abandoned her tree and took one step closer to the scene, grinning brightly. "Well done, Rhyme! That was great!" Her eyes were warm and excited for Rhyme. He'd accomplished more than just a victory.
Rei cast a wary glance toward Prometheus before her attention was hastily redirected to the approaching men. The look she gave them was that of curious perplexity. 'Who are these men? I'm near certain that they aren't dangerous but... where did they come form?' Rei still had minimal knowledge of the staff at the Academy, so it would be almost impossible for her to recognize the teachers she was looking at. A questioning look was thrown in Rhyme's direction before her gaze went back to Gavin and Makashi.

Makashi looked towards Rei, "How could we have been so rude as to not have introduced ourselves? You should have said something." He gave a bow, a smile on his face, he seemed to enjoy talking to people- though to be honest he just liked bowing to people. Don't ask. He's probably just another weird Asian person. "Makashi, nice to finely meet you. And this stick in the mud friend of mine is Gavin, though you may know us from the generic term of teacher." He shrugged as if being a teacher was just some minor thing.
Gavin nodded to Rei, though it was obvious that he really wasn't paying too much attention at the moment, he seemed swamped with his own thoughts, his fingers twitched slightly, some habit or something trying to work it's way to the surface but he resisted instead. It was a curious thing to see Gavin like this, because he wasn't normally all this so serious, a smirk broke on his face, changing the almost grim tone about him, but he remained silent.

((Right now I feel like I could level a 5 mile radius with “Beauty From Pain” but I’ll try and make sure Rhyme is happy))
Rhyme bowed respectfully when he saw the teachers come. He didn’t notice the one, but he did notice Gavin easily enough. When he came back up, he gave his staff a small toss into the air before it shrunk back into his normal baton.
“Thank you sirs. I have been working hard since my time at Twilight Moon.”
“Yes it has Rhyme. You have grown so much since you left.”
Prometheus just let out a groan as he moved slightly, not really ready to get up.

A look of enlightenment and very light embarrassment crossed Rei's eyes. "O-Oh... she stammered out. A very light, nervous laugh escaped her before she nodded to the teachers and habitually crossed her arms over her abdomen. "My name is Rei, pleasure to meet you." Smiling warmly, Rei through a sidelong glance at Prometheus and then at Rhyme before she found she had to stare out through the trees. 'Working hard... there have been times when that might be considered an understatment... but, from what I've seen, he can always find some way to have fun when he trains...'
Her grin brightened slightly. She knows that she has personally had some wonderful times when she was given the privilege of joining Rhyme's sessions. Subsequently, a number of songs played through her mind in quick flashes of memory.
((Not the best post, but my muse isn't being very compliant right now xD To make up for it, MUNCHUMS FOR EVERYONE!))

(MUNCHUMS!!!)
Gavin carried the slightest smile on his face, "You did good, Rhyme- I can tell you've been practicing, perhaps you need to find some more adequate opponents next time, though." he nodded. He looked towards Makashi, a slight sense of annoyance in him, though why you could only guess. Little to the knowlege of everyone else, Makashi and Gavin had been communicating telepathically for quite some time.
"So then, Rhyme... out of curiosity... what would happen if you were placed in a soundproof box? Or if the air was sucked out from around you and your music unable to travel? Just a curiosity." Makashi asked, his brown eyes showed his intense interest on the subject. He loved figuring out other people's powers, it was a marvelous passtime of his.

((I sware I posted this last night...))
“Hmm...” he said, not really thinking about it before. “I never thought of that before. Well...at first I would say that I would probably die very quickly without air or atmosphere. But if we were to ignore that, I would say that my purely sound based attacks would be negated, since as most know, sound cannot travel without a medium. But I believe that my songspells would still work, as would my energy attacks since they are channeled through me, and even if I cannot ‘hear’ the music, I can still feel it there.”
Rhyme’s mother chose to cut in there, since they were standing outside for a very long time and her kids were still at home.
“Would you all mind coming up to the house. We can all sit down there and talk.” she said kindly but briskly, leaving no chance to interrupt as she spun around toward the house and began to walk back.

'Hm, interesting...' Rei herself pondered over the concept of the airless room. Rhyme's logic seemed to work; it made sense. Coming out of her thoughts, Rei watched as Elandil began walking back where Rei had been sent to when the golem first appeared. Smiling at Rhyme as though congradulating him on the victory, Rei made her way after Elandil at her own pace, making a cautiously wide birth around Prometheus. She found herself looking at everything around her, even if most of the time it was just trees. It almost looked like she was absentmindedly wandering in a set direction without really thinking about it. 'After all that... what happens about his father now?'

"Oh no, not completely around you without air... just a buffer, a small space without air. I don't ask something completely impossible- I always let reason have some grounds in my questioning." Makashi had already begun following to the house, seeing as it was likely the conversation would migrate there anyways. Makashi raised a hand and it changed purple and had a swollen appearance to it. "Could be used to make a sheild, perhaps. Just a thought, of course.
Gavin followed the group absentmindedly, obviously thinking to himself with a rather pleasant smile on his face, seeming enough of an amiable person at the moment, his mind wrapped up in something or another. He just seemed to be having an ADD moment at the time.

Rhyme threw out some ribbons to collect all his stuff. He put his leather jacket back on and his kunai came back into his sleeves, as well as his baton. He then began to follow his mother and Rei back up the slightly uphill path to their house.
Sam was right with their mother the whole time, swinging her mother’s arm as she walked.
“I do kinda have a shield,” Rhyme said to the teachers as he walked. “The ten kunai I bought are made to come together into a large shield, I made it for if I have a slow time during a song and need to defend of if I am thrown off balance.”

((This post won't be too significant >> I'm probably just going to type out philosophical thoughts until we reach the house )) The conversations occurring around her seemed to meld together into a background din; it wasn't discernible, but it was comforting. Comforting to know that there was life around her, and not the solitude that her life had been formed around. Her eyes traveled to Elandil and Sam ahead of her, and then her ears tuned in to the conversation being carried out somewhere behind her. It was almost symbolic, really, the position she was in. One could look at it as being stuck in the middle. There were bonds in front of and behind Rei, but none at her level, and at the pace she was going, she wouldn't ever reach either end. One could also view it as finding a place. Rei had chosen solitude over bonds, but could now choose to change her own pace to reach companionship. At one point or another, Rei's mind commanded her to reach out her hand as she walked. Her fingertips brushed along the silvery bark of trees she passed. The second command was to hum a tune she remembered from long ago. Despite what's happened so far, Rei was glad she decided to tag along. ((Oh, and if you were curious to the song she was humming, though it's not all that important, it's Hands by Jewel. It's been stuck in my head, and I feel as though it's a fitting song for Rei ;D))

Makashi lowered his hand and it returned to normal, sticking your hand into places where he had taken the air away wasn't best for yourself... "Not quite what I meant, but it doesn't really matter." Makashi paused for a moment, before spinning around quite suddenly and it was obvious that he was using every bit of his self control to keep from bursting out into laughter, he looked back at Rhyme, "Well then..." He nodded, "Any chance we'll get to meet your family? I'm afraid we missed introductions."
Gavin simply seemed... absentminded as he walked nonchalantly after the group at a relaxed pace. ((uber short!))
