Mark ducks into the locker room and changes. Then he goes to the cafeteria for lunch.
OOC: Now Tommy can show off his girlfriend.
Mark enters the Cafeteria, and finds Ryan, James, Kiyana, Oliva, Tyler, Tommy, and a mystery girl already present. James and Kiyana are talking with Tyler by the milkshake machine, while Ryan seems involved in a conversation with the white haired girl, with red eyes, and Tommy is gloating all the while.
Tommy turns to Mark, "Dude, man I have been looking for you, man meet my new friend, Star, she is soo cool, I like kind of built her, but she is a total AI, she has her own thoughts and personality with some hard-coded prime directives..."
Star turns to Mark, "I am pleased to meet you Mark McNamara, I am Star," her voice monotone and flat, as she steps back to engage both Ryan and Mark in conversation.
Back Elsewhere...
"You are not having a delusion Cassandra, this is real, this is the world called Earth along the current timestream, 246 years, 8 months, 12 hours, 14 minutes, 32 seconds into the future, it exists concurrently with several other future and past time distorted dimensions. This is only one of an infinite course that your world can take, this is the Legacy of a world driven to destruction..." the woman replies, as she speaks from the darkened cowl of her robe.
Yoshi blinks, "This is like not so happeneing..."
"It is very much happeneing Yoshi, this world is real," she turns to Cassandra,
"I am Chrono, I am the Eternal of Time, I am the Keeper of the Staff of Infinity. I have brought you here to help you, it is not the way of the Eternals, to interfere directly with mortals, but the barriers between time and space are breaking down. That is how Cassandra came to be displaced out of time."
Yoshi blinks and then looks to Cassie, "Wicked..."
Chrono pauses and looks around,
"They come... I must go, I shall wait in the safety of the Vanguard Tower, hurry, there is more to tell..."
Yoshi turns to Cassandra as Chrono fades from sight, "Who the hell is coming!?"
That answer is brought quickly in the guise of several thugs brandishing clubs, knives, pipes, in tattered rags, many of whom seem to be affected by radiation poisoning or the like... they begin to filter from the surrounding buildings...
"Friggin' elites! first you cause all this destruction... then yah try and lord it over us... we ain't going to let it happen, probably work for Pantheon, or the Overseer, don't matter, we are going to teach yah a lesson in pain!" one of the thugs calls out as about 15 of them of move out to surround the two young elites...
