Rhapsody     The Nivix Aerie was a place that had far more in it than what could be seen. While it was tall enough to house multlple dragons at a time, and assorted treasures and artifacts lined the back wall, only a select few people knew that there was more hidden under the floor of the massive room. It allowed the room to be extremely modular, flexible, so that its residents could call up what they needed at any given time, while hiding it while more room was needed. This is how Ryxinel's artificing, Sidonia's personel research, and Rhapsody's communications and DREADED PAPERWORK could all be dealt with at different times, seemingly in the same area. Today, however, a different sort of 'island' had risen from below.

    Currently, a white-hide, red-scaled dragon was frantically attempting to prepare a little surprise for a dear friend. Something in her head had made her think things were a little one sided, and she wanted to fix it, even though the thought was probably silly and incorrect. As she moves from one place on the island to another, things get a little more frantic. "Wait, no, this should be here, that over there... temperature this.." talking out loud to try and keep things organized.

        And then one of the smoke alarms decides to go off.
Yunomi Stadler     BZZZZT!

    Yunomi glances up from her work bench, where Pidge was huriedly orbiting her head.

    "What's that? A fire? ... well, this *is the Izzet League, and if it was nearby the--" BLAAAAT!

    "In the /Aerie/? Pidge why didn't you SAY so?!" Yunomi replies, lowers her gogges and heads right out the door, making her way to the Aerie not by stairs, not by lift -- but by directly going up the lift shaft, saiing up, opening the doors and rushing to the grand entrance from the inside, clad in all her Izzet finery of her "Property of the Izzet League Athletics Dpt." shirt and a pair of graffe print pajama pants!
Rhapsody The great doors are barely open, as is their usual state, but barely open for such a massive set of doors would allow for a truck to drive through, let alone a tanuki and the drone that may be chasing after her. Once beyond the doors, Yunomi would see the guildmaster, sans her trench coat, dancing from one spot to another along the 'island'. A broom is in hand, and it is actually sent -sailing- for the offending alarm, handle first, in an effort to silence it.

    The flying broom hits the distant ceiling, misses, and comes down clattering down behind her. It's this that gets Rhapsody to about face, reach for the broom, but glance up to spot the Guardian, shirt and giraffes in all, "Yunomi! Ah," she stands straight up, broom behind her, looking insanely sheepish. "I was ah.." *FLOMF* fire. It's not a -bad- one at least, just a small one, which the guildmaster quickly sidesteps in front of. "I was um, trying to.." a metallic rustle pops on the opposite side of the island. Toast? Pretty black toast. Possibly smoking a little. At least the fire died down, so the dragon sidesteps over to -that-, eyes wide, "Science?" The smoke alarm blares -louder- somehow, causing Rhaps to turn and heave the broom again. When she does, it becomes a bit more obvious what was going on.

    The fire? Skillet. Grease. Bacon? Toast? Alarm? At least there is a plate on the table further behind with actual breakfast stuff that she made -successfully-. As she got into making more, her timing got off. A lot off. A glance is given back to the Tanuki with a shy grin, "I made breakfast?" for dinner. That was the plan at least! The alarm revealed her sinster plans early! Evil, evil smoke alarm, blaring it's klaxon like an evil laugh. BAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA etc.
Yunomi Stadler     Yunomi stands there, goggles akimbo and Pidge orbiting her head again before the little drone sails up to have words with that evil smoke alarm (and more importantly, temporarily deactivate it.

    Yunomi then moves into action with someone who has some familiarity with KP, grabbing a plate, transforming it into a metal top and tossing it on top of the grease fire to make sure there's no more flare ups, a look is given to the burnt toast...

    And the tanuki beams up at the dragon, giving a proud smile.

    "How thoughtful! How'd you know I liked my bacon well-done?" she asks jokingly, giving a little hip-bump to the dragon as she draws along the side. "Whatdja make?"
Rhapsody         HAA HAA Haa haa aaa. blort. (I WILL BE BACK, GUILDMASTER!)

    The blurr of motion that Yunomi becomes is hard to follow, but with the kitchen fiasco so quickly taken care of, Rhapsody can't help but give a sigh of relief. At the bump, she just leans back, "Ah, well, a few things, actually! I had the timing down for the first batch of everything but I didn't really keep up for the second round," she admits before looking over at the table.

    "A lot? Non-sentient pancakes, sausages, bacon, toast, and ... I don't know about the eggs, actually cause I wasn't sure about how to 'hard boil' an egg when the shell is already hard.." It -is- the first time she's tried to make this much at once. It's easier to wander out into the Multiverse, or Drax's, and get something she's familiar with rather than make it herself. She was feeling experimental. SCIENCEY, you could say.
Yunomi Stadler     Yunomi gives a wry smile, and she rubs the back of her head a moment as she looks up to Rhaps, the height difference between the two obvious-a-plenty before she loops an arm up and around Rhaps, and she gives a hug. "It's all right, Rhaps. I can't cook worth anything." Yunomi shares, and she takes in a deep breath. "It all smells wonderful though -- were you expecting company?"
Rhapsody     The hug is given back in kind, though the question earns another small smile from the guildmaster, "Well, when I was -done- I was going to invite someone, but they showed up early because an evil smoke alarm that went off for just a little burnt toast but NEVER DID WHEN MY BROTHER FILLED THE ROOM," she yells, actually turning toward the most evil device before looking back at Yunomi, "So.. ah, surprise?"
Yunomi Stadler     "I'm thoroughly convinced that smoke alarms are their own Guild. The secret eleventh guild that just screeches." Yunomi replies with a smile, and then blushes. "I'f I'd known I was going to be surprised, I would have put on clothes and not pajamas." she laughs, "So do excuse my appearance, Guildmaster~," she lilts, dark eyes filling with playfullness
Rhapsody     That just earns the tanuki another firm snugging, "If you knew, it wouldn't have been a very good surprise, Yunomi," Rhapsody is quick to point out before deciding, well, the food's there and ready, may as well enjoy it. Only after making sure -all the heat sources- are turned off she'd make her way to have a seat. "Besides, I'm rather sure you could wear anything and it would be acceptable in the Aerie."
Yunomi Stadler     "Until some official business came up and they see me lounging about in my pajamas. Truly scandalous. We may never hear the end of it from the Orzhava." Yunomi teases as she takes a seat, pursing her lips. "Honestly... it's been forever since I've had pancakes. I couldn't stomach them for the longest time!"
Rhapsody     "The press and the papers and the rumors, oh my," Rhapsody responds as she starts to serve up whatever either of them felt a fancy for. "I feel like I've heard something about a horde, but never quite the full details of it. Something to do with the kodama, I think?" A blink, then a shake of her head, "I promise these ones are not alive. I hope. I didn't use any mana for the cooking!" her tone suggesting that somehow using mana magic would be cheating, but not at all serious about it either.
Yunomi Stadler     "YEah. Turns out I had a big bag of cursed chocolate chips, once upon a time." Yunomi explains, and she brings her hands together, and then spreads them. There's an adorable Little Girl Yunomi! Locked in combat with little pancakes baring knives and forks. "I ate their king, so they agreed to serve me. After several years as pancakes... I turned them into Kodama. I was so exhausted afterwards since it was a huge physical change, and perminancy besides, that I think I fell asleep for three days. Yu and Mi are two of the strongest."
Rhapsody Rhapsody ohs! "Well that is that, then. Those two have been really helpful here and there, so, that's an interesting little tale of how they came about. Still, I can understand the lack of appetite for pancakes after something like that. I'm glad you're willing to have'm again! I hope their good?" again with the shy smile. After all, cooking is applied chemestry, right? As head of a very SCIENCY guild, one would hope she could at least do this well enough to be edible. She also remembered the syrup and other assorted condiments for the meal.
Yunomi Stadler     Yunomi pauses, and she glances up at RHapsody. She gives a bright smile to her. "Rhaps. These are the best pancakes I've had in years." she replies truthfully, happily nomfing away on the little treats. She seems perfectly content with applied science pancakes, her ears wiggling a little.
Rhapsody     An actual clap comes out of the guildmaster at that, "Terrific! Thank you.." seems she was a little nervous about that particular fact. Once the compliment is given, the dragon starts to finally nomf into her own plate with a little pride shining through. "Have as much as you like, then. I think this is a well earned break considering the entire zepplid of forms we got sent at the start of the year. Hopefully all that tax work is about done? I know mine finally is about to the point that Rizix and a few others should be able to handle the rest. Just a lot of copying and mailing."
Yunomi Stadler     :I managed to squeak by with as little information given to the senate as possible. As much as I wish to voice my contempt... eeh." Yunomi shrugs, and she points her fork in the direction of the senate's building. "Pretty soon they're going to start taxing complaining about taxing! This is why I didn't teach any of them how to make mana-vines!"
Rhapsody     A good laugh escapes the guildmaster at that, "Don't give them any ideas! Heavens know they'll write up the idea if they thought of it. If they'd actually do it or not? Eeh. Once or twice people have gotten mad enough to raise a fuss and they've backed down, it just doesn't happen all that often." A shrug, a stab at bit of bacon, a nomf.

    "Oh. I did have an idea, if you didn't do it already. With the Nexus a pretty fair power source, did you ever consider networking in the Cauldron to sort of double up? I'll admit I've not paid it the attention it deserves, considering what happened there, but I thought with both running in tandem you may be able to increase your output. That is, of course, if we can network them at all."
Yunomi Stadler     "Well. They should be compatable. I mean, both the Cauldren and the Nexus are Izzet Tech, though they're designed to power different things in primary focus." Yunomi admits quietly, rubbing the back of her head. "Ara, ara, I've neem sp focused on trying to repair the damage I've done I havent' really thought about other things that need thinking about."
Rhapsody     "It's not a problem, I think, it was just an idea I wanted to suggest. Ryxinel has been, well, getting pretty focused on the Thirix telescope again and the thought just crossed my mind, wondering what a little extra 'oomph' would do for it. Once all these blasted taxes are done and the dragonsforge is back in full working order, I'm sure he'd be willing to help out with it, too."
Yunomi Stadler     "Well, now that we have proof that he's out there, I don't blame him." Yunomi replies with a slight smile. "I'll see what I can do about ficing the couplings between Thirix and the Nexus. There's still some repairs to be made. Kinda overloaded it.
Rhapsody     "Mm.. yeah, but for good reason, if I dare say so myself," the dragon muses with a grin, still nomfing from time to time, though slowing in pace. After a long drink of water, she just settles back and sighs happily, "I'm glad you enjoyed the food, though. Been a while since we just got to sit and talk, so, even if it was the blasted smoke alarm that called you, it's still great. I hope everything keeps going well, and thank you for all the help with the refugees. I've got a small stack of 'fan mail' from the work you did to give you, so, ... people noticed. Just don't forget to take a break once in a while!" beaming smile, then a smirk. "And I will sneak us a day on the beach.. sooner or later."
Yunomi Stadler     "Mmm. They're now expecting a day at the beach. They'll have beach spies." Yunomi wisely replies, leaning back and crossing her hands over her stomach. "I now suggest a mou ntain retreat. I'll even shift your form. They'll never find us." Yunomi gives a secretive, playful grin.
Rhapsody While her initial response is a headtilt, the guildmaster suddenly seems rather intrigued by this idea. "A mountain retreat.. mm.. high and far, with a gorgeous view, plus a balcony to see the land near and far.." smiiiirk. "That sounds just as good! heh heh.."
Yunomi Stadler     "Besides, the mountains are nice. FInd a place on the cheap, bring in supplies, stay snowed in and not have to care about anything except the company." Yunomi replies gently, and she nomfs downanother pancake. "And bemoan that you can't get signal in some of those mountains."
Rhapsody     "mmmhmm.. well, that is one of the things the Izzet value. Our mountains and our islands. Sometimes I wonder if Nivix was carved out rather than actually built, you know? Sure know Thirix wasn't carved but.. I mean.. Nivix is freaking -tall-. I love it up here! I just wonder sometimes, if someone with a fear of heights ever visited and realized how high up we actually are..." a shrug, realizing it's a little ramble. "It's just neat and I love it. And that is a wonderful idea! Just to get -away- from everything. Honestly, who needs a signal when you have good company, hmm?"
Yunomi Stadler     Yunomi gives a grin. "Yeah. When you're in good company. I'm sure the others can handle the Izzet for a few days. I'm sure even Niv took vacations /sometimes/ in that ten thousand years." she jokes.
Rhapsody     "Oh dear stars, I -hope- so. I can't imagine working every day for -that- long. It'd be enough to drive someone mad!" something explodes in the distance, as if on cue. "...Maybe Izzet science used to be normal... oh no.." her expression turns to mock horror, "Everything explodes cause no one goes on vacation! AAAH!" flail. plate slide. Soft facedesk. ... She can't keep a straight face for more than about 10 seconds and just starts to laugh again. After a few more moments Rhapsody settles back against the chair again. "With Thianel, Tibor, Lumina, Rizix, and my siblings, I'm sure they'll manage. That or the entire city will explode. One or the other."
Yunomi Stadler     "There's nothing that says it's the way it hasn't always been forever. Even Drax thinks that the place's been crazy for thousands of years." Yunomi points out as she gives a smile, and hops to her feet, grabbing a few of the empty dishes.
Rhapsody     "Heeeh, well, he must have liked dad, he has that mosaic of him," she muses contently, rising as she nabs a few plates herself. The 'island' that she was cooking at doesn't seem to have a sink, at first. A little stomp on just the right spot causes one to rise up and lock in as though it was -meant- to be there. "I'll have to ask him how they met, if they met.. I can't imagine they didn't."
