"I suppose that's true. Let's see...I think this is the right door," Elektra floats up to a door in the ceiling and knocks before peeking inside.

*She nods and waves to the others:*

"This is Malak's room," she pokes her head inside, "Malak, we're okay to come in, right?"

*There is a muffled response.*

"Alright, come on in guys."
 


"You'll find it's set up a bit differently here than the Mordrue suites," Elektra points out as she waits for everyone to enter and then opens up the door again, but this time without leading to the Otherspace.

*A young man with ruffled brown hair and blue eyes is sitting at a desk, waving his hand slowly over a crystalline sphere, sprinkling motes of many-coloured light onto the crystal and causing it to hum and slowly glow. He looks up at Elektra over his shoulder and waves slightly with his other hand.*

"Hi Lex, make yourself at home. I can't talk much more right now--don't mean to be rude, but anything more than light conversation and this fails."

*The room is a spacious double, with two beds, one on each end, a large lab-like work area with various magical objects, small area of bookshelves, several comfy chairs, and a couch. The door opens out into a hallway with another door just across which is slightly ajar, looking into a similar room, and further down the hall is a medium-sized lounge that seems to be shared by several of these rooms.*

"This is Malak Saferi. He's quite the enterprising young researcher, and he somehow manages to pull off more A's than B's without studying at all."

"Studying doesn't help me too much Lex. Even if I did, I wouldn't ace everything like you do."

"So, any questions Vanitri?"
 


"He's a little bit of a dabbler. His main research is in Conjuration and magic items, but I've seen him in a bunch of my advanced classes in other areas, especially Transmutation and Enchantment."

"My ultimate goal is to create an intelligent magic item. Maybe a construct--wouldn't that be awesome?"
 


*Elektra leads Vanitri out the door and into the hallway, showing him the lounge at the end of the hall and then the way the hallway curves and branching, leading to more clusters like this one, each with several doubles and a lounge. Then there is a large common area in the middle where people can hold large get togethers, parties, and dances.*

"And that's basically Omega. Anything else you'd like to see while we're here?"
 


"Oh, sorry. I thought I said I was living in Daryne. I'm not positive about what I'm studying yet. I just love classes, so I may wind up covering everything and getting a Universal degree."
