Generation Legacy Issue #13 "Genocide" - Part 1

[Aenion]

Karen's day went quite well. She enjoyed helping out with classes, initially she'd been worried she'd begin to stutter again, but as soon as she was helping the students with their projects her nervousness always disappeared. Today she'd filled in Mr. Kincaid on her personal project, she even managed to beg a relatively new engine out of him, in fact some of the students were currently working on it.

After classes she took a quick shower to wash away the engine grease, her ruby skin shining dishwasher fresh again when she joined Kal at the gym with a peck on his cheek, "Hey, was this afternoon a bit more interesting?"

 

[Samnell]

Mark endured classes, but managed to fail an Arabic transliteration quiz quite thoroughly despite reading the textbook about seventy times. Partly offsetting the failure, he scored a B on his paper for International Relations. When knowing about the Treaty of St. Germaine was ever going to be useful to him, he had no idea. But damn if he didn't have it down that Austria couldn't legally have submarines even if it was landlocked.

Taking advantage of his speed, Mark ducked back to his room and changed into his Legacy uniform and impact gloves, just in case the demon summoning went wrong. Seeing he still had almost five minutes, he checked his mail while there.

 

[Shalimar]

Kelly and her mom had taken in part in a does of therapy while the others had been in classes. It may not have been psychologist approved, but it was therapy....Shopping Therapy. It is quite easy to lose yourself in the process of finding the best fits, and cutest outfits. Between the mother and daughter, most of their personal belongings had been lost, from the fire, and from the recent hurricane that had destroyed the girls' dorm. Shopping therapay was always more fun when it was actually neccessary.

Over the course of the day, the pair had wracked up a total bill of over $40,000 between all of the different sites that they had hammered with sales...even so, shopping online wasn't quite so fun as doing it in person and trying things on for yourself, but it did do the trick. Kelly had picked up an Ivana Renoir original for the dance, a white silk dress with matching undergarments and accessories, and even convinced her mom to get something for the dance, 'just in case'.

 

[Agamon]

After class, Anika went to Gilden's room to help him carry the supplies they needed to perform the ritual to the gym. She frowns a bit at the small crowd gathering to witness the event. "I hope this goes well," she tells her ex-boyfriend (the one with the pointy ears, that is). "Like I said this morning, I'm not much of a performer." With that, she begins to assist him in setting up.

 

[KentArnold]

Tina gives Ryan a look that says, ‘Yeah we are going to talk about this later’. She sighs openly finishing her breakfast and heading to class quickly catching up with Timothy, “Man I hate class. Running with Legacy is way better then this. So what have you been up to kid? I have not seen you around much since all that crazy stuff happened down town the other day.”

SARAH speaks to Timothy, “Kelly has declined your offer. She would prefer to just watch the Talent Festival, she says that if you wish to speak with her, she will be available at lunch time.”

He shrugs, "Well ... you probably heard about the attack here at the Institute. Two Elites were trying to retrieve either Sami or myself. Still not sure which of the two of us. I mean, he's just a normal kid, and I don't see why they'd be interested in me. Not like I'm filthy rich or have any extremely potent power. I can just move things without touching them, that's all."

He stretches a bit as he continues floating toward class, "I had an argument with Jun Min, but that's between me and her. Mostly my fault. She kind of put me in charge of trying to find talent for the festival, which is why I was asking around."

He sighs at the comment from Sarah, "SARAH, inform Kelly that I would have enjoyed a duet with her, but I understand."

He returned his attention to Tina, "Not much else is going on, really. Just trying to settle in. Though I am worried about why Chaos is interested in me. I hope it was just him being bored and deciding to play with my mind or something."

 

[Mimic]

With the combination of Gadget's reaction and the upcoming ritual the day passes quickly for Gilden, needless to say he doesn't pay much attention to any of his classes.

She frowns a bit at the small crowd gathering to witness the event. "I hope this goes well," she tells her ex-boyfriend. "Like I said this morning, I'm not much of a performer." With that, she begins to assist him in setting up.

"Neither am I but when dealing with the arcane arts, it tends to be thrust upon you. Besides I would rather do this with others who can help if something goes wrong..." He replys setting up what he needs, directing Anika in what she needed to do. Once everything was in place, he sits crosslegged in front of the summoning circle.

"I need a few minutes to focus myself but once that is done we should lock the doors before we start, I don't want anyone to interupt us."

 

[Tokiwong]

He shrugs, "Well ... you probably heard about the attack here at the Institute. Two Elites were trying to retrieve either Sami or myself. Still not sure which of the two of us. I mean, he's just a normal kid, and I don't see why they'd be interested in me. Not like I'm filthy rich or have any extremely potent power. I can just move things without touching them, that's all."

“Who knows kid, after everything I have seen and heard yesterday, I doubt they want you for money or power. The Red Witch is a crazy manipulative bitch, and I doubt any of us will know for sure what she wants, and I am not even going to get started about the Overseer,” she says bitterly.

He stretches a bit as he continues floating toward class, "I had an argument with Jun Min, but that's between me and her. Mostly my fault. She kind of put me in charge of trying to find talent for the festival, which is why I was asking around."

"Good job," she shakes her head.

He sighs at the comment from Sarah, "SARAH, inform Kelly that I would have enjoyed a duet with her, but I understand."

SARAH replies, "Understood, Timothy."

He returned his attention to Tina, "Not much else is going on, really. Just trying to settle in. Though I am worried about why Chaos is interested in me. I hope it was just him being bored and deciding to play with my mind or something."

Tina shrugs walking into class, “I wish I could help you there, but I doubt anyone really understands what Chaos wants or even what his angle is.”

The conversation ends there as the full day of classes gets underway. Lunch comes and goes too quickly, and before Timothy knows it Ryan and Jun Min have him and the other teens doing physical training in the afternoon… with the last class of the day done, he is free to have his evening.

This brings Timothy up to the evening…

The Summoning

Kal shrugs, “It was alright, some instructors tried to teach me stuff. I didn’t fall asleep, I consider that a successful day of learning. How about you, you seem pretty excited?”

Aya shows up, wearing work out shorts and a yellow bikini top. She helps out somewhat, “So what do we do here, do we need to like sacrifice a goat or something, because I totally don’t do the blood thing. And I hope we don’t need a virgin… I mean technically I could be… but… yeah… maybe I will just stand over here and be out of your way.”

Mark

Mark has several messages from his financial advisor on the status of his accounts, investments and the like. Boring stuff, but at least he could point to something and say look at how filthy rich I am. The room is quiet and spotless, and most importantly Star is not there.

There is a message from Roland.

Hello Mark,

I am not so good at writing, so I will try not to write too long. Perhaps you want to swim later this evening yes, perhaps around eight in the evening? I will be at the pool see you there!

- Roland

There is a message from Maxim magazine, they want to do a photo shoot and interview on the 9th, but are willing to move that date around, but want to get it done to have the layout ready for next month’s issue. They also note that Mark will be on the cover, with women of course.

Cassie

Cassie feels like she is going to sleep, but she also feels awake. Then she snaps her eyes open and finds herself sitting at the table back in New Orleans her foster father cooking his down home cooking for her…

Feel free to put in any details, it’s her foster father, I would hope she could give me something to work with here on the journey into the mind…


Kelly

Her mother spends far less money then Kelly did, but then again her mother was always pretty conservative. She seems pleased though that Kelly is feeling better. Between the phone calls to various lawyers, shopping, and the normal maternal duties she was quite busy throughout the day.

“Maybe you should go see some of your friends, I am just going to take a nap; been a long day. Okay honey?” her mother suggests, rubbing her temple.

Institute Mainframe Room

Gadget busies herself, going through SARAH’s code line by line, a meticulous process, or at least it would seem meticulous to most people. Gadget sighs as she works her way through the code.

“You seem less excited then my data suggests you would normally be,” SARAH speaks, “your stress patterns are not in the norm.”

“Huh? Yeah I sort of guess I am not feeling normal. I totally made a fool of myself earlier and I can never show my face again in public,” Gadget sighs.

SARAH replies, “I watched that display, it was a rather interesting if illogical reaction to a simple question.”

“Simple question!? He asked me out on a date! To a school dance! Do you know how many school dances I have been too?”

“None,” SARAH answers.

“Well thank you for making me feel better about myself,” Gadget sighs.

“Sarcasm is unbecoming of you,” the AI retorts.

 

[KaintheSeeker]

Cassie

"Glad to see you're up sleepy head. Ma was worried you'd sleep the night away, you know." He says as she gets up and looks around. She was wearing a tshirt and denim skirt, and she could feel the weight of makeup on her face. "Dinner be ready in a moment."

"Okay." Cassie says as she walks to the mirror by the entrance to the small kitchen she and her foster father were using in the small apartment they used while visiting his family. Her face was made up for the night's festivities as some sort of feline. Ginger cat features and whiskers highlighted her eyes and face. "Mardi Gras.." she whispered to herself as she looked around. Her foster father appeared behind her.

"Yeah, we are going to have a little something to eat, go visit the family and take part in the Krew's celebrations before going out to do that proper." He smiled as he put his hands on her shoulders and squeezed them reassuringly. "Now, remember I said you could drink a LITTLE okay, just stay away from the drugs and if any guy pushes things with you tell him no firmly but with minimal effort. We don't want to be taking folks to the emergency room, okay?"

"Okay." She says with a wry smile.

"Good, maybe you'll be lucky and the Loa or Saints or whatever Ma talks about will show you a few things about the world tonight.. Madri Gras is magical."

 

[Samnell]

Mark has several messages from his financial advisor on the status of his accounts, investments and the like. Boring stuff, but at least he could point to something and say look at how filthy rich I am.

Mark gave them a quick skim and answered the questions posed to him, taking a few moments to stretch out and charge up his gloves before answering Roland.

"Hey Roland. I have some Legacy stuff, but I should be done before eight. See you at the pool!

-Mark

There is a message from Maxim magazine, they want to do a photo shoot and interview on the 9th, but are willing to move that date around, but want to get it done to have the layout ready for next month’s issue. They also note that Mark will be on the cover, with women of course.

It's the seventh today and yesterday we had three days to get Genocide. Nope, not going to fight Genocide and do PR on the same day. Mark suggested the eleventh, but Legacy business providing could manage the tenth.

Going back into his wardrobe, Mark drew out a new swimsuit and set it down on his bed. It was one of the brief models, green with black streaks. He considered it a moment, then tossed it back into his drawer and found a similar suit colored dark red with the same black streaks. That's better. It's a new one too so it'll fit right.

Thoughts of swimming warring with the demon summoning, Mark went to meet his teammates.

Aya shows up, wearing work out shorts and a yellow bikini top. She helps out somewhat, “So what do we do here, do we need to like sacrifice a goat or something, because I totally don’t do the blood thing. And I hope we don’t need a virgin… I mean technically I could be… but… yeah… maybe I will just stand over here and be out of your way.”

"Hey guys, do you need someone to hold candles or something?"

 

[Hammerhead]

"Wow, I guess we're really going in for the pomp and high ritual. Candles, goats, the blood of virgins...why not start our own Satanic church," he asks no one in particular. He leans in to talk to Tina in a relatively quiet voice. "So, what're we shooting for, a demonic invasion of Earth via the doorway that Gilden foolishly created, or a dark spirit of possession that drives our friend to acts of wickedness and depravity, eventually culminating in his death and all those he cares for?"
