Kelly
Tommy grins I figured you would refuse, nothing big, and to be more correct I am actually two years younger. I am fourteen, and I apologize if I would make you look bad, I mean I know how important that stuff is. Just trying to find a date, I figured if my best buddy, Mark was going to go, I better go to right? I guess I can go by myself, most people would expect that of me anyways.”
Tommy stays on screen for a moment, “If you reconsider let me know,” he smirks, “see yah!” the image winks out.
Charles stands, “Kid took it pretty well, all things considered.”
Charlotte
Arafina shrugs, “Nope, nothing for me yet, not really in the mood for shopping,” she says sort of sourly.
Yoko grins, “Two of the hottest guys in school turned her down, and now she does not have a date at all, how unlike you Ara,” sarcasm dripping in her voice. Lisa just smiles, both of the girls looking for dresses, and the like; but you can see that she obviously enjoys this little victory over Arafina.
Arafina just smiles, an evil smile, “Thanks for reminding me,” but her eyes are like daggers. She cools off some, and turns to Charlotte, “It is a long story anyways, and lets try this dress on Charlotte, see how it looks. Hey bring us some wine, put it on my father’s account you know the one,” the girls grin, as the hostess goes ahead and does as asked, not even asking for identification.
The New Students in the Yard
Kal goes wide, and rushes forward and shakes Ryan’s hands vigorously, “Oh my, it can’t be but you have to be, I mean I have seen the photos, saw the pictures, your him, well you look younger, but your him!”
Aris looks quizzical, “Who?”
Kal shakes Ryan’s hand excitedly, “Your Captain Cosmos, I have seen the statue you just like him, you have to be?”
Aris shakes her head, “Your crazy, Captain Cosmos died, I mean besides this guy is from Ohio, and he is not from our wo-, your just mistaken, calm down Kal!”
Kal grins, “It is honor to meet you sir, how did you survive that battle, I mean how did you get here, and the guys are going to flip when they hear about this! You have to help us, Captain Cosmos, Overseer is planning an invasion, and Genocide is here and the Red Witch, I mean we need your help!”
Aris blinks, and rolls her eyes, but her eyes show a glint of hope, and she breathes a sigh or relief.
James and Mark
An image comes up on the screen, a press conference, being fielded by Dr. Petrova Stockov, she wears a black business suit, and has thin-framed glasses, framing her thin face, and tied back blonde hair. Once the crowd dies down she begins to speak, “At approximately 11:34 AM today, an explosion of unknown origin destroyed Mexico City, along with about 24 million innocent people. This tragedy comes at a time when other various occurrences across the globe, of an unknown origin transpired. But to the best knowledge of the United Nations Scientific Advancement Committee, these two events are not related. At this time we are not pointing any finger at any suspects despite early reports to the contrary, what has transpired today is an attack on the livelihood of free people’s everywhere in the world. Despite the emotions that run high, cool heads must prevail, and for that reason alone the United Nations has initiated a State of Emergency, and granted executive powers to select groups including the United Nations Armed Forces and the Justice Elite Agency.”
Dr. Stockov paused as she adjusted her glasses, “It will take time to assess the extent of the damage, and the world will support the Mexican citizens in any way we can, to get them through this tragedy. Among them is a proposal that until this State of Emergency is abated, registration of all elites worldwide will be mandatory if only to maintain some sense of order, and uniformity. Certain Military Powers will be forced to disarm during this forced armistice, and certain governments may be dissolved entirely, so as to deny terrorist groups, both privately funded and government sanctioned will be forced out into the open.”
“At this time, I open the floor to questions…” she says as the room erupts into a flurry of various questions.
Kiyana turns to James, “Does that mean we have to register too?”
