I think I've never felt this good. In the last month or so I think I've become stronger and more agile, my muscles are hard as they have never been and I think I topped my previous jumping record. But that's not why I feel so good.
I love the new school. Sure, many of the teachers and students are rather weird, but it's wonderful not to be the only weird one anymore. I made some new friends, a little party of conspirators. We're trying to find out who attacked the school on opening day, and we've got some good plans, but I can't tell you about them. (Mom, if you're reading this, don't worry, it's nothing illegal or dangerous. Cub's word. )
We're quite a diverse bunch. We've got a lady who loves computers. Mmm no that doesn't cut it. We've got a lady who is loved by computers. Better. She's the party's brain, and she's probably the one that kept us together. She's american too, but doesn't like to talk about herself. I wonder why.
If you think I lied when I said computers love her, you probably won't believe me when I'll tell you that she actually has a real robot that follows her everywhere, thinking she's its mother. it's fun to have around, it loves videogames, eat batteries, and is like a child , if you forget it's made of steel and bigger than me.
We've got an elf from the past. I know it may sound absurd, but that's actually the truth. He was flung here with the princess he's sworn to protect by an evil sorcerer, so he doesn't know anything about this world, we have to teach him everything. He's a funny guy, and can change his appearance at will, only he's a trouble magnet if I have ever seen one.
We've got the cool boy. And when i say cool I mean he's cold as ice. I think he drowns his emotion too much, but he's not a bad guy despite his... questionable ancestry. Oh and he has a total fascination for... mmm nevermind. I don't think you'd like to know.
Then there's our necromancer, and his...grandpa. His grandpa's skeleton actually. I don't know him very well yet, but he looks like a sensible guy, and god knows if we need sensible people around here.
Finally there is a shy guy who can draw real magic out of his trading cards. The dream of millions card players anywhere. I like him, but he also worries me. I am afraid there's something wrong with his family. I know it's not my business, but I'll try to see if he needs any help.
But what really rocks is that I went on a date. A girl from my Earth Sciences class, let's call her Moonsliver, asked me to accompany her to the Nature's Friends meeting (which also rocked BTW lots of great guys. I really felt at home with them.) She is very beautiful, and sweet, and I really wondered what she found in a guy like me. It turns out she has a little secret (well, rather big really) and she always fears she would be rejected because of it. Nonsense. She is simply wonderful, and I know it may be too soon to say it, but I think I'm already in love with her. Let's see how this will turn out.
But I'm happy, like I haven't felt in a long long time.

OOC: Sorry guys, I've been very busy, but now I'm here to stay.

 

[Lichtenhart]

As soon as he notices Roichi's gang smell, J.K. loses every interest in the club contest. Which seems rather silly to him anyway. Combat skills may come in handy, sure but they come from gym and constant training rather than a battlefield full of teenagers.
Unfortunately, he also notices the helicopter too late. He runs hoping to reach P1 before of them, but even with his highest jumps he misses the helicopter by 5 feet, and then it's too late.
"I'm so sorry Kryptonite. What do you think they will do to him? Is there anything we can do?" he knows he hasn't been particularly supportive of P1 before, but to see him carried away that way, and hearing that man laughing made him quite change his mind.
"You already reached him once. Do you think you can do it again?"
If he sees resignation in her eyes, he won't pursue the matter any further.
"Well, good luck, 'Outsiders'. And be careful to those witches. They look a little too sure of themselves. I'll try to see if I can find Roichi. I've got something to tell him." he says as his knuckles crack sinisterly.

 

[Festy_Dog]

So he too seeks to face Roichi, but his reasons are far more personal... I should give him first dibs. JK has been a worthy ally and friend throughout the time I have known him, and a personal vendetta is more important than my vain desire for testing my own limits.

"If the method of conversation you desire is more... physical... I would suggest joining the competition. You would only need to hope that our group ends up against his, surely his own dislike of you would lure him personally onto the field of battle if you were to be his opponent. It is a stage ideally set for vengeance, though the cost of a loss against him would be great in such a scenario, the price he would pay should he lose would be just as great, if not greater. If you don't end up facing him you can always look for him outside of the tourney conditions regardless," Thomas suggests.

 

[Lichtenhart]

"I'm looking for no vengeance. I just want him to know that if he's bothered by something *I* did, he'd better bring it up with me, rather than with my friends, or with people totally uninvolved in it, like Arestis. I just want to talk. But this thing ends here, one way or the other."

 

[Festy_Dog]

Wise words indeed, I should consider seeking his counsel on my own personal matters... or maybe not. Nonetheless I like his desire for finality on the issue. I would offer my assistance when the time came, but it is his battle and his alone, the best I can do is wish him luck.

Thomas nods, his normally blank expression leaking a hint of respect for a moment.

"I wish you luck, and hope you do not need it," he says.

 

[GnomeWorks]

"I'm so sorry Kryptonite. What do you think they will do to him? Is there anything we can do?"

What anybody else would do to a prize machine that was stolen... wipe everything that isn't yours - in this case, all memory of us and what happened since I took out the control functions...

Kryptonite shakes her head, a hint of sadness in the motion. "Not here, not now... maybe not ever."

"You already reached him once. Do you think you can do it again?"

Would it be possible? Maybe they don't have all the intracacies of his intelligence figured out... at that point, maybe they won't mess with his memory?

No. They'll wipe him. If they have to start from scratch, then they'll do that... not like they can't get him back up to snuff again in no time...

Kryptonite shakes her head.

But... hmm... if I could break in again, before they wipe him, and grab his memory... save it somewhere, keep it safe until I can build a case for him... or just let him free again...

"It would be risky. They know how I broke in last time... not only that, but there are also... other ramifications. If I become too much of a nuisance, we could have a lot more problems than just the Canadians. And I don't know if even our little group here could handle the kind of problems I'm talking about..."

 

[Lichtenhart]

"Well, I'm not a computer genius, and I probably won't understand half of your problems, but my uncle is! Would you come with me after this so we can at least try to convince him to help us? They turned him off, but they probably won't do anything to him until they bring him back in Canada, right? Is there any hope? Or we could call my mom and tell her to make a reportage about them. They'll have so much press around they won't be able to go on with their work. Please Kryptonite, if there is anything I can do, please tell me."

 

[GnomeWorks]

Kryptonite shakes her head. "Thanks for the offer, JK, but there are things here that you don't know, things you'd need to know before getting into something like this... if you're serious, we can talk about it later, but here isn't the time nor the place. I don't know what kind of timeframe we're talking about, but a few hours probably won't matter. Let's just focus on this for now. Something may happen here that is important, and we don't want to miss it if it does. If anything, we can learn more about what we're up against here."

IC: So, Christian announces "Alright, we have our first matchup. We have the Snipers vs... Drum roll please. :drumroll: the, Outsiders!" Would both groups please move to the center of the field."

In front of you, you see the group of trench-coated gunners moving toward the center of the field.

 

[hafrogman]

"Figures we'd be up first. Shall we?"

Damien looks over the Snipers and steps forward towards the center of the field.
