Generation Legacy Issue #13 "Genocide" - Part 1

[Tokiwong]

The students take their rest some more fitful then others but there are obviously much on everyone’s minds. It was a trying day that seemed to never end, but before they knew it the day was over and in many ways everything had changed. But still the greatest task at hand at least for Legacy was Genocide.

The following morning is early for most as class resumes despite all the traumatic events, the young elites were students first, and heroes second. Work had already begun on the Girl’s Dormitory and it was expected to be ready in just a few weeks, if not sooner. Until then the girls were in cramp quarters with the boys, while the Legacy students relaxed in their posh dorms.

The morning news has footage from the freak hurricane in Mudaba Adin, but little else. There is a short blurb about Mitchell Foundation and even short footage of Kelly’s father on the news from the previous evening…

But for the most part the students just want things to get to normal, and they focus on the Talent Show upcoming and the Dance that is to follow that event in just two weeks. Something to keep the students preoccupied and not worry too much about the world around them… even if it could end sooner then most would like…

I leave the players to introduce themselves… it is morning time with about a half-hour till classes start. The College students have it easy, since they take their classes online, although the buzz is that they may be able to go back to the University campus soon…

BTW Ryan wakes up without his glow... so there!

 

[Aenion]

For the first time in months Karen actually fell asleep that night, the events of the day had completely drained her mentally. It hadn't taken her long to fall asleep. Laying close to Kal, she offered a peaceful sight. The only signs she was still alive was a very faint, very slow heartbeat, the occasional shallow breath and a slight worried frown, it seemed the worries of the day hadn't fully faded as she slept.

Not having any real reasons to set an alarm since she still wasn't allowed to attend classes, she'd only just woken up, worries about Genocide, Kelly, Red Witch etc flashing through her mind, but the blurry sight of Kal looking at her, brought a sleepy smile to her face, almost fully whiping away the worried frown, "Mm-morning hun...what time is it?"

 

[Agamon]

Anika awakens fairly early, as usual, but lays in bed staring at the ceiling for some time, thinking, as she had done before falling asleep.

Finally getting out of bed, she showers and dresses before beginning her ritual to Odin, the first thing she did every Wednesday. She stumbles through it somewhat half-heartedly, finding it difficult to focus. "I so don't want to go to class today," she thinks.

Finishing, she leaves her room, but pauses outside her doorway, unsure where she wanted to go. After a moment's thought, she heads for Sami's room. Stopping at the door, she raises a hand to knock, but stops and lowers it again. She sighs, shakes her head at her indecisiveness and finally knocks on the door. "Sami? Are you awake? I was...wondering if you wanted to get breakfast?" she calls through the door in Swedish.

 

[Samnell]

Mark woke early and quickly dressed and showered. He did a few stretches and realized he hadn't checked his mail at all the day before.

"SARAH, do I have new messages?" Wonder if Gianni got back to me about the Reebok vs. Nike bidding war.

 

[Hammerhead]

Ryan had spent the night reading over his college textbooks and thinking about the events of the day before. After his night of relative inactivity, he spent the morning occupying himself with his typical grooming rituals.

"Christ," Ryan exclaims, dropping the electric hair dryer. He takes a step backward from the mirror, then cautiously floats up in the air a foot. He quickly experiments with the rest of his array, testing the less destructive ones on his wall. "Huh," he says after a moment. The glow came back while using each power, but faded soon afterwards. "This is cool," he remarks to himself.

Wait until everyone sees this. Well, really, why would they care? And why should I care what they think? I help rescue Cassie from Legion and explosions, I get nothing but scorn. I try to make sure that Anika isn't gutted by our little spy, I get nothing but scorn. And I even breathe a hint about Tommy's true nature, and Kelly tells me to go kill myself. Why the hell did I even want to go back here? Maybe I should put a little more focus on finding a way to defeat Overseer and having a good time myself and a little less worrying about the rest of the morons that live here.

Overall, though, yesterday was pretty cool. A lot better than that downer funeral.

Ryan finishes dressing himself, then heads to the cafeteria for the conversation.

 

[Shalimar]

Kelly had spent the night in the infirmiry, since at leastthere she had a bed to use hat wasn't cramped for all that she had offered half of it to Tommyy. Although she had no physiological need to sleep since she could just channel the weather's energy into her body to refresh herself, she had been exhausted, even after falling asleep the first time, and it was just nice to be able to sleep holding hands with someone you loved...it made things feel safe, even if it might not be entirely true.

Waking up late was unusual to Kelly, well waking up at all was, but the day after the attak on Sanctuary, the popstar woke up very late, but then again, she wasn't really planning on attending class. There was too many people for her to talk to, and well, her mom had just been hijacked by her stalker and murdered her father. All in all, the lethargy and confused daze was quite understanable for the girl...had it really only been a day or two since the Hurricane and everything else? Kelly's sense of time had been warped by her weather stepping halfway around the world.

The popstar took off the shorts and shirt from Bishop's farm and replaced them with a pair of gym shorts and a tee shirt bearing the school logo since her own wardrobe had been totalled in the hurricane. Kelly's first stop of the morning was across the infirmary to check in with her mom, and maybe have a little heart to heart about, well...everything.

Morning found Cassie on the track, running full out. Clearly she had been doing this for some time as her sweats are drenched. Her eyes barely focused on the outside world as she continues to circle the track.

Her thoughts are else where.

 

[Tokiwong]

Finishing, she leaves her room, but pauses outside her doorway, unsure where she wanted to go. After a moment's thought, she heads for Sami's room. Stopping at the door, she raises a hand to knock, but stops and lowers it again. She sighs, shakes her head at her indecisiveness and finally knocks on the door. "Sami? Are you awake? I was...wondering if you wanted to get breakfast?" she calls through the door in Swedish.

The door slides open after a long moment. Sami is busy making his bead, everything nice and neat. He looks over his shoulder replying in Swedish, “Good morning, did you sleep okay? I am pretty hungry, and breakfast sounds like a good thing right about now.”

He does not look much moved in at all, in fact the clothes he does have are all neatly folded next to his open satchel. He tugs on a shirt and puts on sandals, “I really need more clothes,” he laughs, “But I guess that can wait. I need to figure out where I am going to be first, I want to stay here but I am not sure if I can handle all the crazy things that happen. Or having my brain constantly scanned…” he furrows his brow in frustration.

Ryan

Ryan’s door opens and standing on the other side about to knock is a very pissed off Tina. She glares, “So where were you last night? I told you to hit me up, and you totally blew me off! What the hell Ryan?”

She cools off for a second, “Hey… where is your glow, what the hell did Overseer do now?” she looks worried.

Mark

Gianni comes through he finally got something worthwhile out of Reebok and is urging Mark to go ahead with them, the money is about ten million more then they originally offered plus some lucrative options that will all be explained in the paperwork. Plus Maxim is really pushing to get the interview, and want to have a response in the next few days!

Star is in the kitchen already cooking Mark breakfast.

Karen

Kal smirks, “Morning,” he murmurs, “I have no idea what time it is, I guess I should actually do something around here huh?” He gets up and gets cleaned up speaking from the bathroom, “Man it’s like seven-thirty, right about now I should be heading off to class… my “parents” would be angry with me…” he laughs.

“So like what is this whole college thing like, I guess I should go one day huh?”

Cassie

While Cassie runs she hears in her mind, “A penny for your thoughts?” it is Jun Min’s mental voice.

Kelly

Her mother is awake and she smiles warmly to Kelly and gives her daughter a hug before really saying anything. She lets the moment linger before finally speaking, “I will be fine honey, I am sorry for everything that happened… I am not even sure where to begin. But I guess you probably want to talk, about everything.”

 

[KaintheSeeker]

Cassie blinks but keeps running as she considers the response.

"I am mulling over the facts I've been given. Some of them are quite.. fantastical."

 

[Tokiwong]

Cassie blinks but keeps running as she considers the response.

"I am mulling over the facts I've been given. Some of them are quite.. fantastical."

“Well many things seem like they should exist only in the realm of fiction, or at best science fantasy… but we both know the truth is far stranger then fiction. Perhaps you can burden me with these thoughts that trouble you? Maybe help you sort them out, because it does not seem like you are making any headway,” she replies in a calm mental tone.
