Detchitoyo High School: Freshmen Year, Q. 1

[Imerak]

Tetsuya frowns. "Wow, that's bad...I really didn't have that problem, as my powers weren't as...obvious as yours are." He frowns, lost in memory. All of a sudden, an idea comes to the forefront.

"Here's a thought, guys. Maybe we won't be able to get information on who can summon an elemental like that by going through the well-traveled routes. But wouldn't the school, or maybe the government, be keeping tabs on the powers of...people like us? Of course, they wouldn't give the information to anyone who asks, but itt would be a small task to...retrieve it, if you know what I'm saying." The pace of Tetsuya's voice seems to speed up.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Now that's good thinking.

Thomas nods at Tetsuya's suggestion, weighing it up in his head.

"That is good, very good. Kryptonite, do you think you could find out where we could get this information? If not the information itself, suggesting it exists," Thomas says in his neutral tones.

 

[GnomeWorks]

Kryptonite considers this idea for a moment, then nods slowly.

"It'll take some work... but yes, in theory. If it's out there, chances are it's on a computer... and so long as it's hooked up to a network that I can reach, I can find it."

She pauses.

"But it would be dangerous. I mean, if there is information like that, chances are that it's pretty locked down... I'm pretty certain of my skills, but I might run into something I can't handle. We are talking governmental info, here... it's not like you can waltz about the net and find it lying around. And if they found any sort of trail... needless to say, it would be very bad."

 

[Kalanyr]

"Why not use the computers the school provides ? Given the students here I'm sure you're not the only one that could be responsible for such abuse. "

 

[Imerak]

"Well, yes, there's always a danger," Tetsuya says. "And I wouldn't use the school computers. They probably have some kind of monitoring system. And even if they don't, if they manage to trace it back to the school, everyone would be in trouble."

 

[Festy_Dog]

Thomas thinks for a moment, and explains his idea, "Then I suggest we don't take any big risks, and simply try to locate the information. Once we know where it is, we could try to use a computer directly connected to the one holding the information, if not the actual computer containing the information itself. That would require breaking into some government facility, but we have more chance of remaining anonymous if it is done right. The computers there would be used to access that information on a regular basis."

Damien shakes his head at those gathered around.

"You guys really need to learn the value of subtlety. You're sitting in the middle of a school yard discussing highly illegal activities and discussing your investigation."

He waves a hand vaguely in the air.

"Now I'm not going to be saying anything, but with the serious amounts of mojo flowing around this campus, do you really think there isn't anyone else who could be listening to this conversation? Say, even the person who you're looking for? If they know exactly how you're going about all this, then they're going to have a lot easier time stopping you."

 

[Kalanyr]

Lugh chuckles

"It is unlikely that someone is scrying, I should sense the presence of the divination if they were. You should know that such things leave their mark in the magical field. Still perhaps you are correct my talent does not lay in divination."

And I seem to have little time to enjoy myself, if I'm not talking to these people, class flys by with no chance to amuse myself, strange really.

(OOC - Lugh will do a quick check after he's finished speaking for any magical energy around.)

 

[hafrogman]

Damien shrugs.

"Okay, so no magic scrying. But what about invisibility, or shapeshifting into the proverbial fly on the wall, or spy microphones or simply really good hearing? I don't have any idea what the kids at this school are capable of, and if you guys are looking for just that information, I presume you don't know either."

 

[Kalanyr]

"Spy microphones ? What are spy microphones ? "

The more I learn of this accursed technology the less I like it.
