EPIC M&M: Issue 7 (IC)

[Dalamar]

Johan, 5/5 HP, no armor

"Jennifer, please leave Anna's gadgets be," Johan says as he settles the battle robot back to its place before releasing his control over it. He walks over to pat her shoulder (and check that she isn't holding anything).
"The sooner I get done greeting my friends and giving Thunder a brief explanation, the sooner I can escort you back to Mr. Split's. And that was what you wanted, was it not?"
After doing another check that Jennifer didn't take anything, and talking Mr. Bunny to leaving Anna's stuffed bunny behind, Johan heads to the tarmac with the two.

 

[Mimic]

Michelle listens to what Thunder has to say with a slight smile on her face as he notices what she is wearing. Once he is done and has walked off she turns her head and studies the young man for a moment. You can't help but feel like a piece of meat on display.

"Hi Jeremy," she says as pushing back her hair behind her ear with her hand. "York... were you related to Kevin? He was a good guy and didn't deserve what happened to him." She pauses for a second as if unsure what else to say.

"Well, I bet your tired from the flight so why don't we start the nickel tour," she says motioning him to follow her as she heads towards a girl standing by herself.

"Tara... Jeremy, Jeremy... Tara." She introduces the two, grabbing the girls arm and pulling her closer to them both. "This is a pretty big complex do you want to start out with the dorm rooms or the war room?"

She will start the tour from where ever he wants and show him all the faucilites. In particular the pool, the weight room, the class rooms, the cafiteria. She will bring Tara along and try to get her into the conversation.

 

[Velmont]

"Nice to meet you, Michelle. You can call me Jay." He puts down his cases and offer his hand to shake.

"Yes I am Kevin's brother. That's the issue about Anarchy Thunder talked about. Kevin's duplicate is wandering around nd can do too much harm to my family. The only way to have a chance to end all this, it is to work with EPIC."

He turns to Tara.

"Nice to meet you too, Tara."

Jay offers his hand to Tara too, and doesn't seem to react to Tara's disturbing appearance. He grabs his boxes back. And come tells to Mitchell.

"First, I would like to put my cases in my rooms, and then to looks around."

On the way to the room, he speaks to the two girls.

"I've met all the people on the plane. I had the chance to learn about them a bit, as we had some trouble in England. First, Anarchy tried to stole some prototype from my father's industry, and Thunder got seriously hurt. Then, at the hospital, Prophet start to manipulate Empath... it was suppose to be my first day of permission, not so relaxing. On the way back, Carl talk about the other here, if you could present me to them too, it would be appreciated."

As the tour continue

"I've heard both of you has gone to help Kevin the first time he got caught by Mia Toan. I must thank you for that. I know that Kevin wasn't the nicest boy, and you both finish to the hospital helping him, or am I wrong? If not, it is much appreciated."

Grinning broadly up at Anna, Vince happily smiles "I'm just glad I have someone who can go jogging with me in the mornings and keep up now. That is, if you are up to it." he finishes with a smirk.

Speaking with Raisa, Vince switches back to speaking Portuguese almost instinctually, "Welcome back," he says as he hops back to his feet. Looking down at his own hands, Vince shakes his head as he continues, "Yeah, things are never boring with the genetic codes around here eh? The bible crowd I can handle, my family might be a bit tougher to deal with but we can talk about that more privately later. But oh man, it was so great to be back in Brazil even for just a little while. Did you get to see any of the stuff we did down there?"

Michael

"What have you been up to since I've been gone? Weight-lifting?"

"No, just saving the world from terrorists, visiting Brazilia... capturing Mason," he says cockily. He thinks a short moment before adding, "Hey now, you said the jackal is out of you?" Making sure nobody else is listening in, he says, "So you can't change shape anymore? Well that sucks!"

"You wouldn't believe how much that little girl can eat. I had to steal back my jerky everyday."

"Who Dara? You let her take your food? One quick slap should have put her in place," he smirks. "We'll fix her later," he says glancing back. "Raisa's looking good, huh? There's a mountain we should climb. Got any inside information on her? Heh, you probably already reached the summit," he adds with a grin.

"Because it didn't matter," Monica says, standing up with you, but not really giving you much space. "Well, not enough to upset you more, anyway. And old lightning britches shouldn't have told you either," she says, sounding none-to-pleased. But her expression changes back to cheerful again and she lays her hand on your cheek. "And I'm not hurt now.

"Our idiot for a leader may have been a complete jerk to you," she says as if she knows exactly what was said, "but he's right about one thing, Sparky. You can't go after Prophet alone. Our best bet at defeating Anarchy is to stick together. That's how we captured Mason," she adds with a smile. "And don't be mad at Dara. She didn't make you sing and she only meant to put you to sleep. She didn't want you to make Thunder mad is all. I think she likes you, Sparky.

"And I think you are far more welcome here than you realize," she says, leaning up against you and laying her head on your shoulder. "I missed you," she says with a sigh.

Neutron
Dara pauses in her charge as the confetti rains down. "Oooo," she says, turning about as it sprinkles down.

Carl reaches up and feels the pointy party hat now on his head, looking up in a futile attempt to see what's on his head. Lokie just takes another step back. When Dara finishes her slow turn and sees you, her jaw drops and then she claps and lets out a squeal.

"Giant apple!" she says and tackles you. Loki laughs as his stealthy illusion over you has its desired effect. With Dara seated firmly on your stomach, the illusion fades. "That was a neat trick, Sport!" Dara says. "Do it again," she demands, punching you in the chest. "And where's the apple you brought from the cafeteria, huh?" she adds, looking at you exectantly.

Johan
You manage to corral Jennifer before she gets a hold of anything else. She's not too thrilled about going out to the adults, but finally agrees. Mr. Bunny, on the other hand, is far less willing to leave Anna's stuffed bunny behind, and you are the one relenting in this case. The three of you and the big stuffed bunny make your way out to the Tarmac, where you can see Dara tackle a giant apple, Cosmo and Jackal conspiring on the tarmac, Vince getting to his feet near Raisa, Anna and your other self, Michelle and Tara standing with an unfamiliar boy and the adults gathered around Jun Po.

Michelle and Jay
"Hi," Tara says without much enthusiasm.

"First, I would like to put my cases in my rooms, and then to looks around."

Tara picks up one of the cases effortlessly, as if it is no more weighty than an empty box. "You were fighting Anarchy? Welcome to the club," Tara says.

"I've heard both of you has gone to help Kevin the first time he got caught by Mia Toan. I must thank you for that. I know that Kevin wasn't the nicest boy, and you both finish to the hospital helping him, or am I wrong? If not, it is much appreciated."

"We tour all the best hospitals," Dara says. "Mia Toan was bad news. Did they kill her, or did she just get arrested again?"

Vince
"Monica can run nearly as fast as you, you know," Anna says. "We go for runs all the time."

You notice Anna tinkering with something briefly as you two talk. "He got to drool over Allison Vaile a lot," Anna tells Raisa, obviously able to understand your conversation. "Not quite as much as Neutron though. I think she was actually hitting on Neutron though," she says to Raisa.

Raisa lets out a disbelieving laugh. "Right. I'm sure Allison Vaile was hitting on one of the guys here. We haven't had television since I left, unless it was to watch wrestling," she says with a groan. "If I ever see wrestling again, I'll throw the television through the wall. Did you end up in the paper for eating any babies?" she quips at Vince.

 

[Elementor]

Since both ladies are obviously fluent Vince continues in his native language, "Well Anna, after Monica's injuries in Brazil I didnt think she would want to exert herself too much yet. Besides on Sanjay that is." Looking back to Raisa, Vince explains how Monica got injured in their pursuit of Ghost and continues to recount the adventures in Brazil emphasizing his role in the capture of Mason and saving Allison Vaile from her rooftop plunge.

Noticing Michael for the first time Vince groans and instinctively kicks in his superspeed, "You have to be kidding me! You brought that idiot back? Cosmo was almost livable while they were apart. I wonder how long til I have to seperate Jackal's head from his shoulders."

 

[Agamon]

Sanjay looks up at Randall with a vengeful look. "That wasn't a cool trick, it was a Loki trick, the both of which, of course, are mutually exclusive," he says to Dara with a smirk. "As for the...what'd you call me?" he says, staring up at her with a dumb look on his face. He looks over at the jet and back at Dara. "What the...okay, don't make her angry. You won't like her when she's angry."

He pauses a moment before explaining. "Actually...the apple's all over you," he says, picking a piece of confetti out of her hair. "But we can head back to the cafeteria after to get some more if you want. And you can fill me on some of the interesting details of your trip."

 

[Dalamar]

Johan, 5/5 HP

"Don't worry, Jennifer. My hope is that the grown-ups wish to do some catching up of their own, so it shouldn't take us too long to get things settled with them. And since I am not exactly everybody's greatest friend, the greetings shouldn't take too long either, mostly just an update to my mind on how everyone is," Johan tells Jennifer as they walk.

As he sees everyone, a smile sneaks to his face. I do wonder when a scene like this started looking normal. I guess much has happened since that one day at the library.
Seeing that his other self is already making himself known, Johan decides to not greet the other student at this moment, as explaining everything would take much time. So he heads straight to the group of adults after making a mental note to introduce Jennifer and Dara to each other right after.
"Excuse me for interrupting your reunion," he starts as he approaches them, "but may I borrow a moment of your time? It is a rather important matter."

If given the permission explain himself, Johan will give a brief summary of the events that have taken place. Starting with his separation into two separate beings with differing abilities, carrying on with his reactionary entering of the M-Tac mainframe and finding the report about Jennifer, and ending with how he freed her and the promise he made.
"... so I would like your permission to fulfill my promise to take her back to Mr. Split," he finishes, using the form that Jennifer addresses Split with without noticing it himself.

 

[Velmont]

"They told me that she was under arrest and in the hand of the Asian special team. But after what Carl told me about the first trial of Mia Toan, I hope her influence will not be as good in the East, but I fear she will not have to pay the right price of her acts."

 

[Gideon]

Michael, 5/5, hunky-dory

Using the same conspirital voice that Cosmo used. "Can still change. But you remember how we got to be from a B horror movie. Well, I think the old guy was in my head somehow."

A look of disgust mixed with relief sits clearly upon Mike's hairy face.

"You got to capture Mason while I got to sleep in Raisa's room. I think I won that match." Taking off the lid from the beef jerky, Mike quickly starts wolfing some of it down.
