“Well...the man still laying back there crumpled in pain is my dear old dad Prometheus.” he said, his voice flat of all emotion. “The tall women up there is my mother, Elandil, she was a great bard in her time and still is considered one of the best. The little girl behind her is my little sister Samantha...though she will kill you if you call her that. Most just call her Sam.”
“That moody girl in the middle, not getting near any group is Rei.” he said teasingly, figuring she would be able to hear. “She was the one that got me to come out of my shell a good bit and me, hers. So she decided to come with as emotional support. At home though are my last two siblings. There is Sam’s twin sister Alina, and our brother Lucas.”
Rhyme then began to wonder what would happen after his father got the wind back in him. Rhyme wouldn’t be able to stay long, and what of Sam, she left also. He just wished he could bring his whole family with him back to the school and leave their father behind.

Rei paused almost mid-step when she heard her name. A grin played with her features as she simply remained still until Rhyme's 'group' got up to where she was. Directing the smile at him, laughter in her eyes, Rei quietly walked along with the small herd. 'Hm, I didn't know he had other siblings' Well, she had come along to learn things as well, I suppose.
Rei listened politely to the ongoing conversation, simply enjoying the Q&A being passed between Rhyme and the man.
((Sorry, can't think of much :/))

Gavin paused and looked towards Rhyme, "That's Elandil?" he asked, his eyes wide for the slightest of moments, he had apparently heard of the woman. He quickly gathered his composure, though and looked towards Rhyme's mother who walked ahead of them.
Makashi kept the same walk, he carried himself like any decent former-god would as an amused expression played accross his face. Gavin was all too much of an artist at times, comedically so. "You might want to keep watch of your master teacher, lest he actually tries talking to your mother... because the man isn't best in these situations." laughter tinged the voice that reached out to Rhyme.... in case the student hadn't figured it out about the master teacher yet.
(What? Teachers need social lives too! D: D:)

((Anyone got any ideas where this can go? I am running out of ideas...I just want the end result to be Rhyme’s mother and rest of family..minus Prometheus, to come to the school to live. ))
The group soon came upon a little house in the middle of a clearing. It appeared small on the outside, a simple stone and mortal foundation, and wooden frame with a stone chimney at the top with small wisps of smoke emerging.
When Elandil opened the olden style split door, 2 children came running out. Screaming Sam’s and Rhyme’s name. They went to the pair and huggled them, knocking them to the ground laughing, even Rhyme.
She then guilding them all in, sitting them around a large old oak table. The inside was much larger then the outside appeared due to magic that Elandil and Prometheus cast within. It was homely furnished, with many pictures and other items around.
With everyone around the table she smiled as she served them hot tea and cookies.
“Thank you so much for brining my son and daughter home.” she said as she sat down herself, and took a sip of tea.

As soon as she entered the house, Rei's eyes began looking at everything around her. 'Wow...' She liked the house... a lot, actually. Still examining different items and objects around the room, Rei took a seat at the table. When the tea and cookies were served, she smiled at Elandil and gave her a quiet 'thank you'. Rei sared into the steaming liquid for a few moments. Had she ever had tea before?... If she had, she couldn't remember, and that's saying something. Sipping the liquid quietly, she took one cookie and began to munch on it slowly. The food and drink were delicious. After another moment, she glanced at Rhyme and then looked to Elandil. "You have a lovely home..."

"Rhyme and his sister brought themselves home... the rest of us were invited or followed to make sure he didn't meet an unfortunate-obscure end. It's increasingly common these days." Makashi accepted a bit of tea, but kindly declined the cookies, he wasn't much for sweets. He looked around for a few moments, "This is a lovely home, indeed, Lady Elandil." He raised his cup of tea as if in a toast to the woman.
Gavin just sat and looked at his tea, acting rather odd for how he normally acted, but who knew, perhaps he was having an off day.
(Gavin really isn't too animated at this moment... but I have to post him or I'll forget he's in the RP. XD *smacks self* und sorry for taking so long to post.)

“Thank you.” Elandil said softly as she took a sip of tea.
As she did she gave an odd look toward Rei. She felt a type of recessive power within her. Not fully formed but close to coming out. It felt musical in nature though. She guessed it had to do with Rhyme most likely since, he changed everything with his music, even reality, and since it was plain that the two were close, a bit of changing might have been done.
“Sam honey, would you mind letting Rei borrow your flute, I think she might have a knack in music.” she said, giving her daughter a small look letting her know with her eyes that she shouldn’t be argued.
She then looked toward Rei. “Go on, that flute is very easy to play, play anything that comes to mind”
(Pretty much Rei should play it, and the weather would change outside depending on what she played. )

((Here's the song youtube.com/watch?v=zn3Fs-SYaIc&feature=related))Giving Elandil a curious look, Rei accepted the flute and looked at it for a moment. "But... I've never even held a flute before..." Her gaze glanced from Sam, to Elandil, then to Rhyme and back to the instrument she held. 'Well... alright then...' Closing her eyes to focus more, Rei brought the flute into the proper playing position and just... did whatever she felt she should do. The music began slowly and softly at first, as though testing out the notes and keys, but then the song began. It had a strong, though somewhat sorrowful, tone to it. Outside, the light became scarcer until the sky was overcast with grey. A very light flurry of snow began to fall. No breeze disturbed the ice crystals, and they fell slowly, though steadily. When the song was nearing its end, the snowfall ceased, and streams of light began to break through the layer of clouds, giving the ground a dappled look. It was very serene. The song ended and Rei opened her eyes; of course, because she hadn't seen anything behind her eyelids, she had no idea what had happened. "Hm, I guess I can play then..." Looking slightly pleased, Rei offered the flute back to its rightful owner. "Thank you for letting me try it, but-" her gaze went to Elandil. "-why did you want me to?"

Elandil let her smile grow a bit larger as she watched the snow fall. “One moment and it will become clear.” she said getting up and going through a small door in the room across from the kitchen. She came out a moment later holding a very old looking Shamisen. “This is a very old instrument passed on through the bard families. Now, Rhyme, play a tune as well.” he said to him, seeing he understood as well as soon as he saw the snow fall outside the window. (( www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJBIwtnkJOk)) Rhyme took the pick attached to the instrument and slipped it over his finger like a second nail. He also gestured out and pulled Sam’s flute closer since he would need it also. He slowly plucked the song with his one finger, letting the ghostly music fill the room. When the flute part came he also played that, with the same ghostly qualities. He finished the song a few minutes later, though there was no change to the outside world. “You see,” Elandil started, “Those two items are bard instruments, they play well enough by normal people, but show there true qualities when a person with bardly powers play them. Rhyme, doesn’t have any, since his is a mix of two schools of magic. But, did you see what happened when you played that song? It began to snow, though we are not going to get any more for many months. Sam’s flute, is one of weather, when any bard plays it, it will let them influence the weather slightly. Makashi, since I can see you are Rhyme’s teacher, would you like to say anything, since you probably observed my son’s powers before now.” ((I think I kinda pulled Elandil out of character a bit with that long monologue, but oh well))

Makashi shook his head, "I'm not Rhyme's teacher, oh no, no." He motioned to Gavin. "The one who'll barely speak a word is Gavin, is Rhyme's teacher. I'm just a tag along. Basically." Makashi explained. Makashi was actually suprised at how quiet Gavin was being, not offering an opinion or anything of the sort, he was normally rather outspoken.
Gavin opened his mouth to speak (*ghasp*) "Well, thank you, Makashi." He spoke in a calm tone for the moment, obviously in his mind thinking over the situation, "Rhyme's brilliant with his magic, since I've been asked about Rhyme. The problem, though is that I don't think we'd have anyone who'd be able to develop Miss Rei's powers, since it would be a shame to pull away from Rhyme's schooling at this point."
"What if you came to The Academy, Lady Elandil? You could perhaps take your family with you and you could teach Rei, filling that void for a teacher, there. But only if it's something you wish." Makashi suggested. The funny thing about the suggestion, though is that he had pulled the idea straight from Gavin's mind, making it heard before Gavin would get to it. "We would be honored to have you with us."
"Very honored, indeed." Gavin seemed to assure, a smile on his face. It wasn't a smirk, but not really a big smile... it was just kinda... there.

Rei closed her eyes and listened intently to the melody Rhyme played; it relaxed her in some odd way. When he finished and Elandil spoke, Rei's attention snapped toward her. 'Wait... I... made it snow?' Something warm tingled inside Rei; she felt thrilled to find out she had such power, and just from being around Rhyme. 'So then... what does it mean?' Very quietly, Rei sat and listened to the ongoing conversation, a warm grin gracing her features.
Once it was suggested that Elandil and the rest of Rhyme's family- minus Prometheus, no doubt- should come back to the Academy, Rei's eyes brightened. "I'd be honored if you would teach me, Elandil." she said with true sincerity. She also hoped that Elandil would agree not only for the sake of teaching her, but also because Rhyme would have his family with him again.

Elandil smiled softly. “Thank you. Rei, I would like you to have the Shamisen. You deserve it. And as for you Rhyme. Give me your baton.” she said kindly. Rhyme did as he was told and handed his mother the baton. When he did it glowed a light blue before it was handed back to him. “Your Baton will now be able to create instruments out of energy around you. Though they will not have any effects. Rei, that Shamisen, when played will let you hypnotize a person with its hypnotic notes. Also, the finger picks can be used as weapons.” They all then decided to pack all their belongings and move to Twlight Moon Academy. ((I love it when RP’s end randomly)) ***Rei Recieved*** Bardly ShamisenA Japanese style of banjo or guitar that has a very distinctive haunting sound. www.arts.iup.edu/international/images/japan/shamisen.jpgThis instrument, when played, can hypnotize any persons the holder wishes within earshot. Any pain or physical attacks will break the effect. Reduced effects if used repeatedly upon the same person. **Rhyme Received*** Baton of the Orchestra EnchantmentNow Rhyme’s Baton of the Orchestra can create playable instruments with no effects with from the energy around him.
