Generation Legacy Issue #11 Cont'd

Cassie looks up, the black hairdo she is sporting highlighting her asian features in ways that never stood out before.

"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree :
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man

Down to a sunless sea.

So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round :
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree ;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery. "


She looks around the dome, calm and serene, strangely sad and yet at peace. "Samuel Taylor Coldridge, Kubla Khan. Xanadu, the pleasure palace of the great and powerful." she says. "It's a lovely place Mark, and I'm sure it's safe as you can make it, but I don't think retreating from the fears of the world will help us." She shrugs. "But then what do I know?"

She turns and walks back tot he dome, and returns to watching the sea life pass by.

ooc: I believe that Gilden has 3 HP total - 1 from the breakup with Anika, 1 for hte GM fiat for the demon fight and 1 to start with.

"SARAH can you inform Paragon that I would like to talk to him when he has a free moment." Gilden says out loud as he walks towards the cafeteria, once there he will grab some food and sit down where Kal had indicated, nodding a hello to everyone there.

"I'm sorry about...at the office, okay?" she simply says with an apologetic smile. "What have you found out so far?"

"These things can get heated." He says with a smile accepting her apology. "Actually, I wanted to talk to you about that..."

"Hey, Gilden," he says enthusiastically. "Think you can cast another one of those tracking spells, like the one you used on Kelly? This time, we're looking for Cassie...she made quite an exit from here. She's important, and she might be in danger. By the way, what did you see with the first one you cast?"

"Cassandra left?" He replies nodding goodbye to both Karen and Kal as they leave. "Yes, I should be able to locate her. As for Kelly she was in a car with two others, her mother I believe and another woman who I didn't..."

"Cassie only left a couple hours ago, Ryan," Anika tells him. "She obviously needs some time to figure things out, and I doubt she'll appreciate you going after her. Paragon let her go, maybe we should respect her decision for now. Besides, we have more imortant things to worry about right now."

Gilden will shift over slightly to avoid the impending arguement.

Paragon nods, “Alright, well what is troubling you Mark? Why are you having trouble dealing with all of this? I know Yoshi was a good friend, and it probably does not help that there seems to be a clone running around… or is it Star?”

"Both," Mark admitted. If I tell him, is it all over? Would that be all it takes?

 

[KentArnold]

He slumped down after a long day of class. Things seemed to be starting to return to normal after the hurricane. Though it was obvious that many members of Legacy, those who hadnt mysteriously vanished, were on edge.

He wasnt sure what to do, as it was obvious that something was brewing, but he wasnt sure just what and he wasnt sure he could do anything about it.

He'd come to realize that the incident with one of his classes about the exploding teacher and all that wasnt the teacher, it was a student. One who he'd spotted a couple of times recently. He'd never had the courage to approach him, nor had he asked SARAH about him. Somethings were best left alone.

He focused on regaining a sense of self and control, something that he'd lost to a degree since he'd arrived.

Several things that'd been said made him realize that he couldnt keep going on with how things had been. His sensei had said many the same things, but ... he hadnt the freedom to really mull things over.

His thoughts about keeping intact, and with no concern for the world ... they rang hollow. Laying there thinking about Jean made him realize it's not what she would have wanted.

He just wasnt sure how to ... open up. Not yet anyway. He was terrified of the idea of it, but ... he had to face it eventually.

He sighed and sat up, pulling out an old beat up guitar, and began to play, not really thinking about what he was playing, just playing to get back into the habit of it. With the door open to keep the place cool due to a minor break in the air conditioning unit, anyone passing by might have heard him play a number of different songs.

He paused after awhile and looked up, "SARAH? Is Jun Min available? I'd like to talk to her about a few things if she is. Not a priority, so if she's busy, it can wait."

 

[Shalimar]

Cassie looked really different to Kelly, she knew that the other girl had just died her hair black, but wow...it was like a total make over. Seeing the other girl did make her happy, but it also reminded her of Yoshi which made her feel bad and reminded her of her dad, and that made her feel really bad. When the other girl recited the poem, it left the blonde with a 'huh?' expression, looking confused, not really seeing what she was getting at until she explained it afterword.

"I don't think the idea was just to hide out Cassie, or at least my idea when I suggested it wasn't. It was to give Elites some place seperate from Baselines to make their own country and set things up for ourselves how they should be. Sort of a seperate nation for elites that we can shape ourselves free of the UN. Its also important to think about the fact that this place didn't belong to any country so it probably wont be seen as Elites overthrowing some country and imposing their will on it. Thats how I saw it at least when I proposed it." Kelly said smiling.

"It might be easier to all cooperate when Overseer shows up if we weren't all in each other's face right up until he makes his appearance."

 

[KaintheSeeker]

"It makes us a target. Places us on a 'X' and asks for action. Putting up walls isn't the answer." Cassie says without turning, "You know why I came to the institute? It was Paragon. All those speeches about equality and interaction, no differention between .. normal humans and the empowered." Glances around to look at Kelly. "I despise the term baseline, and elite isn't much better. It is another way to build fear between us." Signs as she rubs the small plastic bunny in her hand.

"I have to face Overseer, Kelly, but I ask that you don't."

Ryan nods to Kal, and smiles at Tina. Uh oh. Tina versus Anika. This could get ugly.

"Sorry Charlotte, but I actually am concerned for her safety. Also, I'm acting under Paragon's orders to find Cassie and bring her back." And according to Cardinal, she's more important than any of us realized. Hopefully Tommy is running his mouth and monologuing evil genius style.

"Gilden, I hate to push you, but can you do it now? By the way, from your very first impression...was the other woman simply a family friend or someone much more dangerous? Do you think you could pick her out of a databse?"

 

[Agamon]

Tina shrugs draping her arms over Ryan’s shoulder, “Thanks for giving me your blessing Anika, but I was going to help anyway. This freak is threatening innocent people, your new boyfriend, and Ryan’s life; that pisses me off, especially the last part.”

Anika raises an eyebrow at Tina's overfriendlyness with Ryan. "C'mon, you saw this coming," she tells herself. "If she makes him happy, then that's good. We need a happy Ryan." She pauses a moment, letting the automatic response to her flippant attitude drain out of her before opening her mouth. "Good," is all she says.

Tina gives Ryan a healthy squeeze holding her curvy body against Ryan, she continues, “Even if Cassie thinks she needs time alone, this brainy kid just threatened Ryan and says he has both Cassie and Kelly… and you don’t understand, Cassie is too important to leave her in the hands of that maniac.”

"Brainy kid? Who, Tommy? A maniac? Right." she says with an amused grin. "Maybe you can fill me in on how Cassie is important?"

"Sorry Charlotte, but I actually am concerned for her safety. Also, I'm acting under Paragon's orders to find Cassie and bring her back."

"Gilden, I hate to push you, but can you do it now? By the way, from your very first impression...was the other woman simply a family friend or someone much more dangerous? Do you think you could pick her out of a databse?"

"Really. Well if Paragon's ordered it, then I guess it better get done," she says seriously, but with detectable hint of sarcasm. She tells Gilden, "You can fill me in on your progress after you help them, Gilden. Besides, you need to get in line to see Paragon. I need to talk to him, too, privately. I'll have SARAH let you know when I'm done."

With a small shrug he nods towards Anika as he takes a quick bite of his food. "I don't have the time to search a database for whoever the women was but if you want I could implant the image into your mind." He says looking over at Ryan.

"As for finding Cassandra, I can try to find her right now if you wish." Gilden will get comfortable and attempt to use his arcane abilities to find Cassandra. If he can't find her, he will attempt to located Kelly again.

ooc: ESP +14

"Go for it," Ryan says with a shrug. "Let's see who you saw with Kelly." It's okay, I'll just do your work for you. Because I don't have anything better to do.

"Don't have the time"...I swear, where does he come up with these things?
