Finals took a little longer than expected; my final final was yesterday, at 10:30; I thought it was at 3:00. So, I took it today, and now I'm done. I have to...

... Dias opens his eyes at the contact, blinking until Wind comes into focus. "Hmm... Hope I didn't mess you up too badly doing that. Like invasive surgery...
... Rollan sees Aede get blasted by Shadow, and lunges forward, sliding across the floor and dropping a fiery red reather into the Geomancer. "Now is not the...

... Aede looks up, groggy from the force of energy that came with the pheonix down. ~Damn it, now gonna start being charged for the number of those things ...
... The water-avatar nods. "I have all the memories of Shadow; I'm not, if you will, in the dark on recent events." It - he? - slowly begins to move its arms...
... Aede looks up at the avatar, then down again at the crystal in her hands. She can see where the warmth of her hands are thawing the ice, a pair of...
... Dias lowers his sword as he watches the being, one hand moving almost unconsciously to Wind. His headache pulses, the light in the room seeming to flicker...

(This is a little bit of a kick, I guess, but it's honestly what I had in mind when I brought this, um, thing into play. As such, I'd like you to give some...
