New Generation Legacy, Issue 1: Back to School

Cody sags, his cheerfulness fading as he furrows his brows in thought. "Yeah, fair it isn't..." he says, pausing for a long while to try even begin to imagine what Manjit's feeling.

"From what I can tell, you didn't do it on purpose-your powers were just discovering you I take it? The way I see it you can't possibly be responsible for what happened...and I know that knowledge couldn't possibly be the same as having your friends back, but if you learn to control it you can at least prevent it from happening again. And once you have it fully under wraps, you can live a normal life if that's what you'd like."

"My power gives me a friend sure, but also a dependent. It's kind of crazy thinking that I'm responsible for another's moral development. If you can't tell I'm kind of overwhelmed with Raph at times." He admits, a small smile forming in an embarrassed sort of way.

"Making friends? Easy. True friends are hard to come by though, I wouldn't mind trying to be yours if you don't mind? You don't need any special powers for that." Cody asks, seeing Emmet from the corner of his eye before the other teen even talks and waves.

"You don't have to answer now, but if you're feeling better would you like to tour around some more with Emmet and me?"

"Excuse me, Professor Lankowski, Doctor Stockov, but I must excuse myself. I think Manjit could probably use another friend." Turning away, he follows Cody and Manjit, catching sight of them down the hall.

"Manjit, are you okay? Would you like to continue exploring the school?"

Both adults nod. "Good idea, Emmet. She needs friends right now," Lankowski says.

"We'll speak again soon, Emmet. Take care," Dr. Stockov tells him as he leaves.

Manjit manages a smile at Cody at the considerate words. "Yes...I'm okay," she tells Emmet. She stands up and takes a big breath. "Right, yes, let's have a look around then."

sorry for missing your last post HH, 40 lashes for the GM...
 

John enters the school and manages to find the boy's dorm section with not too much trouble. Getting in, however, might be more of a chore. The door to the dorm rooms is locked and he has no keys.

"Identity unknown. Please remain still during bioscan," a computerized female voice states from somewhere above before a green gridded light begins moving over him.

"What the..." John replies somewhat surprised. "Couldn't they just give us keys?" He retorts to no one in particular as he enters his dorm room

He quickly scans the room, noting that he will be rooming with someone else, not that it mattered he was used to sharing. At least the bed look long enough so his legs wouldn't stick out the end. He was planning on getting some sleep but with the plane rides to get here as well as the encounter with that uppity British girl set him on edge, he needed to work off some excess energy.

So he was off again towards the weight room.
 

"Well, since we're exploring, I think I'll pass on summoning Raph back just yet." Cody mentions, face-palming his forehead for show. Inwardly he sighed, glad that Manjit was feeling at least a little better. Now if I was only that smooth with the guys. he thinks.

"Where to next? I wonder what they expect us to do for fun in this place? Maybe we can ask Amy to give us a tour of the more interesting places? I'd kind of like to see how big the library is here...I'm a geek, I know." the teen admits.
 

"Hey, uh? Can you hear me? I don't know if you can answer questions, but you seem to be able to tell people apart. Can you tell me who my bunkee is? Who is the room mate of Clover Hughes?" she asks the door that had scanned her on the way into the girls dorm, feeling kind of silly as she did.

"If you are addressing this system, the answer is Josee Charbonneau," the computer answers after a moment's silence. "This system is called Amy. If you have any other questions, Clover, do not hesitate to ask, but please include this name in your query. Thank you."

"'fraid she's lost on me too," Jerry shrugged.

"Dude, are you blind? That was abso-freakin-lutely fine," Yoshi retorts.

Amadi smiles, "That she is. I think I'll..."

"Too slow!" Yoshi manages to interject before blurring out of the room.

She wondered how Clover would react to this look. She knew most of the boys on campus would pop a few fuses. She chuckled to herself as she headed to the gym. First off, she'd work on the weights, then the extension and wrestling warm ups. Shame she didn't know anyone good enough to spar with she thought to herself as she stepped into the gym.

The gym is gigantic. Four stories tall and nearly the size of a football field. Trilly can see where automatic partitions can be engaged to turn it into 4 smaller gyms. There appears to be an equipment room ahead, but she doesn't think the weights are located in here. Turning around to check for a weight room, she comes face-to-face with the boy that Clover pointed out as Yoshi.

"Hey, babe. How you doin'?" he says with a grin.
 

So he was off again towards the weight room.

John finds the Fitness and Exercise wing fairly easily, and is greeted by the sight of a group of students in what looks like a pool area and an Asian kid talking with Trilly, wearing a spandex or something one-piece, in the entrance to a gym. The weight room door appears to be on the left.
 

"Dude, are you blind? That was abso-freakin-lutely fine," Yoshi retorts.

"Not blind," Jerry shrugged, "Just playin' for the other team, mate."

"Too slow!" Yoshi manages to interject before blurring out of the room.

Jerry chuckled. He is funny He turned back to Amadi. An almost-Olympian! Jerry couldn't believe his luck.

"So you want to teach me everything you know sometime?" he smiled.

John stops for a moment and wonders if he should go see if Trilly is being harrassed, its something he would have done without hesitation back home but here everything was so different, he almost takes a step towards the weight room before sighing and walking towards the couple.

"Is everything ok here Trilly?" He asks with his arms folded across his chest.
 

"Not blind," Jerry shrugged, "Just playin' for the other team, mate."

"You're what now?" Jimmy asks. It sounds less like misunderstanding then discomfort. Kiyana, however, looks completely confused by the analogy. James isn't. He just grins and looks at Kiyana.

"So you want to teach me everything you know sometime?" he smiled.

Amadi shrugs. "Sure. I swim 2 hours in the morning, 1 in the evening every day. You are welcome to join me."
