Kelly
Jun Min nods listening to Kelly, “A super-hero? Is that what this is about?” she laughs, “Let me tell you the comic books get it all wrong, I don’t see Paragon as a super-hero, I mean he is hot, but he isn’t a super-hero. I doubt he would do the stuff he does if he wasn’t getting paid for it, don’t get that in your head.”
“This isn’t a super-hero school. We are not here to create the next Superman or Batman, or something. We are just here to help youths, some who have a good grasp of their powers and many that do not, and help them overcome the hurdles that being an elite presents. This is a place of education and self-discovery, Kelly. I believe that you have an incredible amount of control, but you still have things to learn. This is not about being cool. You have a gift, but it isn’t just for show, remember that. If you thought you were sent here just for Legacy, well sorry if you were misled, but the students are here because either they wanted to be here, or someone felt they could benefit from the unique facilities we have here on hand.”
“I hope you understand,” she smiles and shows Kelly to the door, “I am sorry to usher you out, but there is a call I need to make, with some relative privacy alright, talk to you later okay?” she smiles and then closes the door.
OOC: Not to kill the scene, but I am ready to move the story along now that introductions have been made. Sorry Sollir, didn’t mean to step on ye toes, but the show must go on eh? Tie up any loose ends, and then we press, I know some scenes are still open, but we do have a big dance to get to right?
The intervening Five Days
The Institute almost returns to a normal routine for the next few days, with the exception that the students in the Legacy Program have extra classes that last about three hours after everyone else is done. The classes focus on Team Dynamics, International Law & Politics, and Public Relations.
Kal, Aris, and Charlotte are allowed to stay at the school, but thorough checks on their background is still being done before they attend classes. Although for Kal and Aris, they spend much of the time, just trying to learn more about this world, as compared to theirs. Although it seems impossible, their world is only in the year 2003, about 11 years behind the current time, according to them. Many of the things the students take for granted, they are amazed by, and they have very interesting stories to share.
The rest of the students spend their time, trying to stay focused on the tasks at hand. Tests, homework, Power Training, and any number of other day-to-day things occupy the time of all the students. Other students spend time preparing the main Auditorium for the dance, which has the Theme of the Island Paradise. Arafina and her friends are in charge of putting the whole thing together along with Jun Min. The rumors hit the school that there may be a duet at the dance by Sakura Red and Kelly Mitchell, but that is neither to be confirmed nor denied.
Locally things seem to settle down, the incidents that shook the world four days are still making the news, but local concerns also make the news. Black Fist Jihad Terrorists supposedly allied with the Congo Protectorate regime have laid claim to an explosion outside a UN Building in Cairo, Egypt killing 114 people, including 1 elite. Justice Elite does Ambassador to several countries in the region, spreading the message that Mandatory registration is for the good of everyone.
But on the International front, Japan, Canada, and Germany have joined the United States in leaving the UN. Reports of many elites that wish to avoid registration have made the move to those countries cannot be confirmed, but many suspect it is taking place. The Mexico City Disaster is being blamed on some type of Explosive Detonation, but the cause of which is still unknown, radiation levels are nowhere near what they should be for a Nuclear detonation, and have the experts baffled as to the cause. But the death toll is all too real, and the world economies take a large hit.
On the 9th of July, Hidalgo Valdez, a publicly acknowledge member of Pantheon, issued a statement to the press on behalf for the enigmatic Cardinal. The man is a well dressed Spanish Playboy, with a killer smile, and penchant for wearing everything tailor made. His statement is live on CNN round the world, from Barcelona, Spain.
“My brother elites of Pantheon have seen that the news and many national Governments have tried to crucify our name and attach us to the disaster in Mexico City. That is an absolute lie, and it untrue. Twelve of our elite brothers and sisters were killed in that blast. Twelve too many for the one race, the chosen of the Next Age; we are not legion. We mourn the baselines lost in the blast, but we are outraged by the lack of publicity for our lost elite brothers, those that die on your killing fields, we fight for you, we die for you, and you think a simple monument does us justice? We are your future, we are your legacy, and you repay us with your cowardice? You strip our rights from us! The UN has gone too far, and the lapdogs that serve them are traitors to the one race. How long till we live in ghettoes? How long till you initiate the Final Solution? Do you think we don’t know about No Return? We know.”
Hidalgo was evasive on just what No Return was, as he left the scene under armed escort. But the question has flooded the news as people race to find out just what the elite meant by his words. It has not allayed suspicion of their involvement, but it has sparked more questions. But as of the moment no answers are forthcoming from the UN who dismisses Hidalgo as a crackpot, and the UNJE says that they are placing all their efforts into finding the ones responsible for the Mexico City Disaster.
July 11th, 2014
Current Time is 1600 local time, and classes were let out early for the Dance which is in about four hours and scheduled pretty much for the rest of the night.
The Institute is abuzz with students wondering who is going with whom, who will be wearing what, and just well trying to focus on other things but the world at large. The music is sure to be great, and a decent International Mix, and the rumors are still unconfirmed, but Sakura Red is said to show, but again, neither a confirmation or denial on that.
OOC: Again I leave the players to choose what they are doing, and all that. Kelly the rumors are true, Sakura Red is scheduled to do a duet with you, your agents think it would be great press, and squash any rivalry rumors even if they do exist.
). He spends about an hour or so going through the cloths that Kiyana helped him pick out online some time back and spends a lot of time looking at himself in the mirror... fixing his hair just right, etc. He then undresses, takes another shower and re-dresses himself and spends some more time getting his hair just right... then he paces his room for a while, staring at the clock as if will time to speed up...
