Generation Legacy Issue #15

"If it makes you feel better Its not really telepathy." Clover offeed trying to reassure Anika, she didn't really have a good sense of the other girl yet, not in such a short time period.

"I guess I can try to copy your powers, if it works...hmmm I haven't tried to copy a non-elite so I don't know what that would say. I just copy the way that energy flows through your body and make mine flow the same way. Lets see if I can copy you and we'll go from there." Clover answered, looking a bit puzzled at the idea that Anika wasn't an Elite. The UNJE certainly knew about the nanites and they would know that Anika had them, mayb she was just losing it under the strain.

"Your the one who does magic, right? Thats fairly broad, show me how you cast a spell, I'll see if I can copy you and cast it, and then I'll try to do it again in a different way."

[Mimic (all elite powers) 25pp to copy Anika's elite powers, also she does have detect elite powers to go along with the mimic. So can she detect Anika as an Elite and can she mimic her?]

 

[Tokiwong]

Targeted cities: Cairo, Berlin, Dallas, Chicago, Mudaba Adin, and Montreal, and Seoul. Reports are sketchy though about failed attacks, hoaxes, or even outright copycats in the wake of the tragedy.

Ryan

Sariyah looks up after a lengthy pause as if lost in thought, “Oh… yeah. We saved people, but so many more died,” her voice and demeanor are distant, “it’s all so surreal. One minute I am just finishing class, I was going to meet my boyfriend… the next I am trapped in hell. I thought I was going to die down there. I just don’t understand why anyone would do this to so many innocent people.”

Mark

While Mark sits there wallowing he feels a not so gentle shove on his shoulder, “Mark… hey you listening to me? Hey… have you seen Ryan?” looking up its Tina.

Karen

Details are still forthcoming from Chicago, it was hit hard, not as hard as Mudaba Adin but there was a substantial loss of life in the Windy City. Karen is unable to get into contact with her family and has not seen their names yet on the missing person’s lists, but that does little to put her mind at ease.

Jun Min sits near her, “I had to pull myself away from trying to find my mother and father, my relatives back in Seoul… and there is Kelly… there are many different pieces for us to pick up. Times like this we could use a little mood weather.”

Gilden

Just as Gilden is about to leave the book flips open, untouched. The tome in question opened by an unseen had many peculiar qualities. Pages could move, not so much visibly, but you could turn a page, and then turn back to the page you were just on and that page would be gone replaced by another. As if the book was truly a “living” document.

If the Red Witch was anything she was a meticulous chronicler, her notes are extensive. It would take a lifetime for most normal men to even decipher their erudite structures, but for Gilden the path is far less obstructed. Grasping the knowledge was the easy part… only the temptation to fully utilize the dark arts described within made the process all the more difficult. Many of the spells are incomplete experiments, or passages on observations of lore thought lost before time had any meaning…

But the page the book is currently opened to is ominous. It is the notes for an incomplete spell, a spell that if one could achieve the proper incantations could rewrite time and space, allowing one the ability to change the past.

Anika & Clover

Clover can pick up that Anika is an elite, or at least that is what her senses are telling her. But her abilities just don’t seem to work for Clover, or at least Clover has no ideas how they should work.

Robbie looks at the two girls, “Anika,” he looks at a monitor turned to CNN for continued coverage of the disaster, “is this the end of the world?”

Cassie

Cassie follows the directions and finds at the appointed time a portal opening for her. Once through she finds herself high in the mountains, snow, ice, and wind assail her violently.

She is only on this rocky face a chasm beckoning to her far below in the darkness of the evening sky. The sky is lit up with a brilliant array of stars, or it would be, if the clouds of the storm did not obfuscate the wonderful show above.

It is only then that her keen senses pick up that she is not alone… someone is nearby.

 

[Shalimar]

"Well, youre an elite, I could tell that straight off." The British red head offers with a shrug. "As to your powers themselves...I can't really seem to find anything to grab ahold of and work with, so who knows. Ye could really be a prophet for all a me, but I'll be blasted if I know what it means." Clover did add a caution on at the end though so Anika would have all the information. "I haven't really done much in the way of copying Elite powers though, not much of a chance was there? I didn't tell anyone til I had a handle on the things, didn't want anyone to be relying on me for something I couldn't control." the way Clover said it left the distinct impression that she found the idea of being unreliable to be abhorrent.


"No, this isn't the end of the world, its just a loon being naughty til we get off our duffs and smack her about the head til she thinks about what she's gone and done. The UN will set this to rights. It wont be easy, but will do it ause it needs doing." Clover told Robbie with conviction.

 

[KaintheSeeker]

Cassie

She turns into the high winds, her hair flaring about as she takes in the naunces of her enviorment. As she senses the presence she looks to it. Had her sister betrayed her? Or was it a contact? No telling to the next few seconds passed.

"Hello?" She calls out above the wind, her body already coiling to strike out if needed. Of course her tactical position wasn't the best, she was clearly in an enviorment of their choosing.

 

[Agamon]

Anika was a bit alarmed when Clover told her she wanted to actually copy her powers, but let it go, her curiosity getting the best of her. The result wasn't unexpected. "Yeah, I kinda figured that. I'm an elite because I can channel the power I do, but the actual power doesn't come from being an elite, so I can see why you can't copy me. Thanks, though, that helps," she says with a smile to the newcomer.

Turning to Robbie, she nods, affirming Clover's reply. "It's bad, really bad. But it's not the end of the world." She stares at the monitor, taking in the scenes of carnage. "Her plan is insane and she's not going to get away with it."

 

[Samnell]

Mark

While Mark sits there wallowing he feels a not so gentle shove on his shoulder, “Mark… hey you listening to me? Hey… have you seen Ryan?” looking up its Tina.

Mark very nearly decided to ignore Tina, once he noticed her. But he had enough problems without adding more, and Tina would certainly make it a problem.

"Not since we got here. What do you need him for?" he told her in a voice that couldn't help but be troubled. How many people died today? Not just people with powers that the Cardinal turned to Ash at Eden. Not just someone who signed up for it. Ordinary people going about their lives that never did anything to anyone, except live. Hundreds of thousands? Millions?

“Because I am looking for him, isn’t that reason enough fearless leader?” she softens her normally hard attitude, “but yeah… I was just worried about him, I don’t know if he had family in those cities that were hit and you would know Ryan better than me but he does not seem to show his emotions…”

Mark’s phone starts to buzz, it’s Star.

Anika & Clover

Robbie nods, “I think it is the end of the world, but not the end of existence. The world you grew up with is dead. This brave new world is something altogether different. For some reason I can’t help but feel slightly responsible for it. But it seems altogether expected. With great evil comes great good… with disaster comes change. Through change we have adversity… with adversity we see true heroism.”

“What would you know about heroism?” Robbie’s twin, well it could be his twin asked. Where he came from the girl’s don’t know but there he is sitting next to the original.

Robbie sighs, “Hey I know plenty!”

“Yeah, prove it!” He then looks at Clover, “hey you funny talker, why do you talk so funny. I don’t like the way you talk.”

“Hey I think she talks nice, I like it,” the original replies.

“You would.”

“Hey you apologize to her you jerk,” Robbie threatens.

“Make me,” the twin puts the original in a headlock.

Cassie

Cassie makes out a silhouette in the biting winds and snow it waves for her to follow.

 

[Samnell]

“Because I am looking for him, isn’t that reason enough fearless leader?”

Mark stiffened, preparing for the fight he tried to avoid. What is her problem?

“but yeah… I was just worried about him, I don’t know if he had family in those cities that were hit and you would know Ryan better than me but he does not seem to show his emotions…”

Relaxing with a slight sigh, Mark nodded. He favored Tina with an understanding look, "Uh, I don't know either. I don't think so. Ryan's... he's a good guy. I guess he's probably shook up like the rest of us. He might like somebody to talk to."

Mark’s phone starts to buzz, it’s Star.

Having forgotten he even had a phone, Mark jumped even as his hand blurred reflexively to seize and answer it, the small screen blurring past his face just slowly enough for him to catch the name. "Star? W-what's up?"

 

[Hammerhead]

Ryan laughed bitterly. "Yeah, it's been a hell of a day. This sickening insanity is just the capstone of it all. Why...well, that's a little complicated. Jun Min thinks that Cardinal hopes to divide the elites and baselines of the world, so that all the elites will follow her, and nuking everyone was the way to bring this wonderful dream to life. It sounds kind of crazy, but you don't survive for too long as the UNJE's most wanted if you're not clever."

"These days, I guess you just have to do what you can. I'm just pissed that we're stuck here instead of out doing something."

 

[Shalimar]

Clover peers at Robbie curiously, she didn't generally try to read people's minds that she came into contact with, they might get mad, and it was rude besides, even if most people would never know she had done anything, but Robbie really was an interesting boy. "That is one way to look at it I suppouse. Things can always stand some improving and mostly they never get it til something shows off the need for them to change." The British girl says in agreement with the boy.

"Uh wow...is that a power of yours? Or is he your twin?" Clover asks Robbie when the other Robbie appears. She smirks at the comment about her talking funny. "I speak the Queen's good English, its not my fault you yanks have been polluting for going on a 5 centuries now. I also grew up speaking 4 languages, so the syntax and sayings do sort of mix around a wee bit. Its all just part of my charm luv." she says with a shrug.


(OOC: Is Robbie an Elite or rather showing up as an elite?)
