Greetings, everyone. My name is Raine Sage, and I'm a returning Instructor who just finished a very educational and quite fascinating study of ruins around the globe. I'll be teaching World Geography, so if any students have questions about the class, please feel free to let me know. If you want to see a slide-show presentation of my trip and

A stone with earth properties.

[There's a man who's taken the opportunity to rest against a nearby tree. Icons notwithstanding, he currently does not have any tattoos (although the pointed ears are still there). He's just watching, unimpressed.]

Congratulations on your find.

[He's also being sarcastic.]

[relicalmode]

[ Fenris is just jelly of her cool looking stone... ;_; Anyway, Raine seems ready to defend her weird collection of stuff to the death. ]

I see you're not that fascinated by how some objects can be enchanted with elemental properties due to their proximity to Guardian Forces and other factors, but I'll be more then happy to give you a lecture about it.

[ it's time to LEARN!!!! ]

[freewolfmoon]

The demons' magic seeps into everything around it and taints it forever. That's what you're saying.

This fascinates you?

[relicalmode]

[ She is silent for just a moment, before gesturing to the stone again. It has a close place in her heart, you see. ]

Yes, I guess you could put it that way. As a researcher and an instructor, I'm naturally interested in studying phenomena like this. If you're not interested in that, then I'd be more than happy to talk about the history of the Tomb of the Unknown King.

By the way, I'm Instructor Raine Sage. I've just returned from Garden after a year-long trip. And you are...?

[srslytoopretty]

The Great Zelos always makes sure to keep in touch with his hunnies!

Colette's here. Seems like that time compression crap really can mess with us, though. I'll meet you in person if you want to talk about it.

[relicalmode]

I'm sure...

She really is here then? Yes, I'd like to meet as soon as possible. Is she alright?

And has there been anything strange happening to you? Ever since I've returned, I've heard nothing but weird rumors. I can't help but be interested though. It'd be fascinating to have a research subject to for direct testing...

PRETEND I'M NOT FOREVER-LATE

[srslytoopretty]

Yeah she is. I'll meet you in the Quad, that okay?

Uhh about that... You know, let's just talk in person.

IT'S OKAY I AM ALSO FOREVER LATE also I guess this will be action?

[relicalmode]

Alright. I'm already there, so I'll just wait for you.

Oh, it's nice to see other instructors popping up. My name's Aya Brea and I teach Limit Break Theory here now. I hope to hear more about your travels at some point, they sound pretty cool.

It's nice to meet you as well, Ms. Brea. I'd love to tell you more about my travels. Do you have any specific interests in mind? I've been to just about every major city and ruin site on each of the four continents, unless you'd just let me start from the beginning!

[The stone in Raine's hand sparkles with colors it does not even possess as Mikuru approaches, curious to hear about something connected to the GF she learned about in class. Recognizing the sparkles, she sighs.] I'm sorry, I don't know how to stop that...

[relicalmode]

[ The sparkles really pique Raine's interest. For a moment, she looks really excited, until she hears someone apologize for it. It seems like the sparkles came from someone else, not the stone itself... CLOSE ENOUGH. ]

No, it's alright. Actually, would you mind telling me what that reaction was? I found it fascinating.

[ She's looking at the girl with such hope in her eyes... ]

[bunnypassingby]

[Such hope that Mikuru feels awful that she is about to crush it.] I'm sorry: I don't know... It just keeps happening around me lately...

[relicalmode]

[ Raine almost looks thoughtful. Another student with strange phenomena occurring around them? Something is up. ]

Is that right? Hmm... When did you start noticing the sparkles? And what sort of objects did they appear around?

[wingsofvirtue]

[ Madwoman? No, she looks like.......Professor Sage. It's silly that she would look like anyone but herself!

Colette's a bad dude, right? Colette is totally a bad dude. ]

Hello, Professor Sage. It's so good to see you.

[relicalmode]

[ Colette is the baddest of dudes. B) ]

Oh, Colette! There you are. Zelos actually just told me that you were here, and I was about to go looking for you. [ Raine looks visibly relieved for a moment. But now there's a matter of... ]

When did you get here? Has everything been okay for you?

[wingsofvirtue]

You know Zelos? [ Not that she didn't believe him, of course, but it's reassuring that Raine knows him too. He's different from anyone she's ever met, and a stranger from the future... It's a little frightening. ]

About a month, I think. Everyone's been really nice so far. It's so kind of Headmaster Cid and everybody to take us in like this. The classes here are tough, but I've been studying hard to show my gratitude.

[relicalmode]

[ .... ]

... Yes, of course I know Zelos.

[ This is troublesome. Raine leans forward to feel Colette's forehead with the back of her hand, cuz you know, she might not be feeling well, while nodding to Colette's words. At least Colette sounds like she's settled comfortably in Garden... ]

Yes, I'm grateful that he's doing this for all of us. I'm sorry for not contacting you sooner, I was out and... Well, I just had no idea you were here. [ Come to think about it, she stopped checking her mail a month ago while she was out in Centra... Whoops. ]

Anyway, are you feeling alright? I've been hearing some strange rumors lately.
