Generation Legacy (Issue #4)

"I appreciate that, Sarah. Yeah. I got a package from my mom with a letter in it saying to call her. So I did. She said that my dad had been killed in an anti-elite terrorist bombing. The funeral is next week."

Sarah listens with her eyes growing with shock, "Oh my god, are you alright, that is horrible, I mean. Your father," she seems speechless for a few moments, "are you going to go home? For the funeral?"

 

[Aust Meliamne]

"I doubt it. I didn't really even like my father much. He was always pushy and mean, but once he found out I was an elite, he turned abusive. Beat me almost on a regular basis until I learned to create a forcefield. Way I figured it, he got what he deserved. He was probably helping the terrorists anyhow."

James

James snatches up the pass card, and bounces from roof, to roof, with great speed, all the while. He makes it to the Stadium easily enough, and Billy greets him near a communications terminal, the two exhanging pleasantries, before James is on his way, trying to find a place to get some flowers.

He walks in, and looks at a variety of flowers both native and foriegn, as the shopkeep busies herself with a virtua-net game, paying little mind to the customers, as James walks around. He passes by a woman with long white hair, and soft skin, she smiles to James, and pauses a moment as the two settle on the same display, "Umm excuse me," her voice is soft, and heavily accented, perhaps Russian, "I don't mean to intrude, but what do you think of this one, I am trying to find something that will add a little color to my place," she gestures to a smattering of blue and red flowers of various types.

She is dressed in tight black hiphugging capri pants, and a thin white mesh shirt with the words, "Tease" written on them. Her hair ius in a pony tail, and she currently wears shades, which she casually removes to reveal blue eyes, as she considers her question.

For some reason the woman looks familiar to James... [/B]

James says 'Ah hi... ah well I'm not the best person to ask about decoration, but these sure look really nice. I guess if they smell good to then those would be what I would get. So, I am trying to get something nice for a girl, what would you suggest?". All the while James tries to place the face where do I know her from? Hmm... she doesn't look anything like Kiyana does she? She's the only Russia I know...

Hmm... she doesn't look anything like Kiyana does she? She's the only Russian I know...

The lady grins, "Well they do smell nice," she gathers them up, and smells them, "you must have a nice girl, for a cutey like you, well if your girlfriend likes flowers I would suggest these over here," she gestures, to a collection of roses, the price tag a little pricey, but affordable for the young elite.

She gathers up a bouquet and hands it to James, giving him a copious amoung of cleavage in his face, as she winks at him, "I know if I got something like this from my lover, I would be incredibly thankful."

It finally clicks in his head where he has seen this woman, back in class when he was studying Geo-Political studies and the Elite Phenomenon. This woman if she is who he thinks he is, is a Pantheon terrorist by the name of Synapse, or her real name Sachana Vyrakos, but this woman is entirely too nice to be affiliated with them or is she?

The woman smiles, "You know what I sure she would love it, your girlfriend is a lucky girl, to have a cute guy like you, who is very thoughtful," she sighs and walks for the register, "Tell you what, since you helped me out, I will help you out, I will get the flowers for you, alright?"

Meanwhile back at the School

Sarah pauses, "Oh, I am sorry to hear that, I guess I shouldn't have asked, you sound very bitter about the whole affair. I am sorry about that," she goes silent not quite sure what else to say.

 

[Aust Meliamne]

"No. No. Don't worry about it. It's not your fault. Don't feel bad. I appreciate you listening."

James's eyes get rather big and he tries to keep his voice from cracking (and tries not to stare at her cleavage...) when he mutters out an thank you to her “Ah well … ah… these are kind of expensive ….an all and I would not want you to spend money … on like a… a complete strangers or anything…” James is somewhat confused by this woman’s (how old is she??) 'openness' and 'friendliness' towards him… not sure if she is trying to trick him or not (to many people doing that lately! ) he is thinking OK dude… breath in out and out and nice and smooth. Not sure who this gal is but I should ask someone about it… no wait, I am not suppose to be off campus… hmm maybe I should ask Kiyana she would know what to do… or maybe John… man I better get out of here fast…

James tries to get the flowers and makes quick excuse about having to get going Bluff +0!!!! YEA saying “Well hey thanks and all and it was nice and all… meeting you and… stuff… but I better get back to my lady or she will start worrying about me…” with that James will head out and find a spot where no one is around to teleport back to campus.

*POOF!*

Yoshi is gone from the screen, three seconds later, the door swings open, and shuts, and sitting on the desk next to her is Yoshi, he grins, "If you need to sneak out, I think I have a way, but you got to trust me, alright?" he whispers, "we Tadaji were ninja back in the day... not really but it sounds cool."

"You're truly incorrigable aren't you?" Cassie says, untensing from her tensed punch move. "I like that about you.. you've got all that vibrance and..zest that I seem to be missing." shrugs as she turns to shut down her windows, saving each in turn as she does so. "What do you think about Ryan? It seems a lot of events hinge on him. You remember the events with the.. trip to the future? I got a bit more information in the trainer." Tells in complete detail what went on with Chaos.

 

[Agamon]

"Yeah, that Chaos kid was a little brat. Who exactly do you think he was? Just some loser, elite-crazed hacker like Tommy, but without a conscience? Not that Tommy is all that sane, or even moral. Star's okay and all, but she's kind of illegal.

"I dunno what he was. I sure don't believe a thing he told us," Anika responds.

Ryan then sits carefully upon the chair next to Anika's desk. "Well, that fight wasn't too bad. Not as bad as either the mall or the wildlife preserve. No guns or killings. How many people have I killed. Two? Three? Four? Jun Min almost died. Cassandra almost died. John almost died? I almost surrendered. Am I forgetting anything? Funny how little you remember about such important events. Some people affiliated with the dictator Adaba Adin are trying to kidnap me for purposes I don't know. I think the faculty might, and Cassandra knows more than she lets on. The mall fight wasn't too bad, but the fight at the preserve...that was nasty. A lot of blood, many people were nearly killed, a few guys on the other side were killed. Not pretty. But that's over with," Ryan finishes, now smiling. Not yet it isn't. But you don't need to worry about that now. Just enjoy yourself and live your life, for the time being. [/B]

"And I made a joke about it, I'm sorry, I had no idea," Anika says genuinely. "You say this Adin guy is trying to kidknap you? And you think the faculty here knows about it? Wouldn't they do something about it? I mean, you're potential a new member of Legacy, they wouldn't just leave you to fend for yourself, would they? Sure, McCallister's got something shoved up his butt, but he means well. And Jun Min is pretty nice. And Cassie? Why would she hold anything from you? Have you talked to her about it?"

As the conversation continues, another news broadcast pops up, sports, focusing on the local football game, soccer for the less cultured, and it shows the current scores, the Mudaba Adin Lions is putting a beating on the Cairo Warriors, with a current score of 3 to 1. As the camera images pass through the crowd, it settles on a local celebrity, Billy,, and with that shot they see James and Isabelle, on the screen.

The newscaster excitedly blurts out the name of the elite teen hero, Paladin, and his mystery date. It is a brief blurb before it returns to more international sports news, and scores.[/b]

Anika, more questions on her mind, finally notices the events unfolding on the monitor. "What the--, that's Billy...and Isabelle, and James! What are they doing at the football game?! Oh, no, and Star said we were going to get leave campus again soon...so much for that. What were they thinking?" she says dejectedly, shaking her head.

Arafina pouts slightly, "Taken?" she says curiously, "Are you sure," she says coyly, slightly biting her lip, trying to play up her more visual charms, she looks up at him, "I really want to go, and I really want to go with you. I mean," she says shyly, "I guess, I just missed my chance," she looks heartbroken.

"Yeah. Sorry." Mark beats his second hasty retreat of the day without another word.

 

[Hammerhead]

"And I made a joke about it, I'm sorry, I had no idea," Anika says genuinely. "You say this Adin guy is trying to kidknap you? And you think the faculty here knows about it? Wouldn't they do something about it? I mean, you're potential a new member of Legacy, they wouldn't just leave you to fend for yourself, would they? Sure, McCallister's got something shoved up his butt, but he means well. And Jun Min is pretty nice. And Cassie? Why would she hold anything from you? Have you talked to her about it?"

"It's no big deal," Ryan says unconvincingly, waving his hand. "Well, the faculty is kind of doing something about it. The security here is pretty tight, after all. Just like SARAH's security was airtight. Besides, what if more elite terrorists showed up, like Phase?

"And I can't really leave, can I? But I think they might know why he's after me. And yeah, I was going to ask Mr. McCallister about it later. He's a good guy."

"However, something funny happens every time I leave this compound. I get attacked by well-prepared commandos. This leads me to believe that someone here, a student or even a member of the faculty, is leaking information of my whereabouts whenever I leave." And I plan to find him or her, and make them pay. That's why I don't like to chat people up. It only adds to my list of suspects.

"I only have a hunch that Cassandra Prophet is hiding something from me. However, my guess on why exactly she won't tell anyone what happened, with either Yoshi or James, is that it involves her as well as me."

Anika, more questions on her mind, finally notices the events unfolding on the monitor. "What the--, that's Billy...and Isabelle, and James! What are they doing at the football game?! Oh, no, and Star said we were going to get leave campus again soon...so much for that. What were they thinking?" she says dejectedly, shaking her head.

Ryan looks amazed, staring at the screen. "Wow. Paladin broke a few rules." Then, anger floods his face. "Now everyone has to be consigned to the campus again. Thank you, Billy. Just thinking of yourself, as usual."

Ryan then ignores the screen, turning once more towards Anika. "Do you think our team has a shot towards making it?"
