Generation Legacy (Issue #5)

"Wait a second, you guys know Neuro, and thats where I feel like I know you from? With all that about an elite's place and not being subservient to a baseline you guys have to be like all elites, and that means you either are pantheon sympatizers or Pantheon people yourselves to know him." says Kelly, smirking at the fact she figured it out. She gives an easy shrug to show that she could care less that they were Pantheon.

A piece of what William had said finally became clear to her, "So that ass Neuro is dead, who did it, I want to buy them a drink or something." her golden eyes narrow at Sunmi's threat, and she turns to look at the chinese woman, "don't threaten me, its generally a bad idea to threaten people that agree with what your doing." Kelly says without the least bit of warmth in her voice, her phrasing, exactly as Neuro would have said it, if he had had a female voice. Her hand that was lying flat on the table became surrounded by crackles of miniature lightning for a second before the light show stopped.

"You can buy me a drink later then," Sunmi replied, "and I suggest you don't make threats that you cannot backup, I know just what you can do, and you have no idea what we can do. And nothing you have said makes me any surer that you agree with what we are doing."

William raised his hand, and the woman went back to scanning the room, "She is correct, we have no qualm with you, but to say you agree with what we are doing is not a statement to be made lightly. There are many that would say they beleive but there are few that truly see what is to come."

Sachana smiled, "I think she has attitude, Neuro did his work well."

Rei just watches staying silent, not saying anything.

William replied, "But I think in your eyes, you don't really understand the severity nor do you have the convictions to back your statement. I would suggest you refrain from making such statements, we are not exactly popular, and your career could be ruined if the wrong ears catch light of your words."

"But if you truly agreed, then none of that would really matter," Sachana finished.

The Lake
Kal nods and picks up Karen and takes her to the boat, “Damn you look pretty good,” he says floating onto the boat, “Sweet a keg,” he grabs a cup and pours himself a nice mug, with little head, and starts drinking, “nice and cold.”

“You guys got a sweet deal here, I mean this must have costed quite a bit of cash,” he blurts out.

Yoshi walks onto the boat with his arm around Cassie, “$98,000, not bad I guess. I want to get a full size yacht too, but that can wait. You should see the wheels I got on order, custom all the way. I figure I can splurge with the first few checks, I mean what the hell else do I have to worry about,” he shrugged, “Besides the boat isn’t mine, its Cassie’s birthday gift.”

Yoshi grabs two cups of beer from the keg, and hands one to Cassie. Kal continues speaking, “You guys get paid for this stuff, damn! I only have four hundred dollars to my name, don’t you guys like do the whole crime-fighting thing for the like responsibility of power or something?”

Yoshi shrugs, “Yeah we are all just saints,” he replies sarcastically, taking a drink.

"Hey!" Karen giggles as Kal picks her up, "Don't drink too much I'll need someone to fly me back to shore," she adds with a wink.

"Wow, 98,000 that's like ... wow." she blurts out, "Nice gift. And I felt guilty about spending half my allowance on that dress. Hey happy birthday Cassie, I guess."

"So you do all that Legacy'll do, because you believe you should? To really help people? Not because you're getting paid for it? That's so cool." she says admiringly. And it's probably gonna have a better effect on baselines than a bunch of kids that get paid a load of money to show people that Elites are decent people.

Kal shrugs, and wraps an arm around Karen, “Relax Karen, I can still fly when I am drunk,” he jests. He then replies to Karen’s comment, “Yeah I guess that is pretty cool, it isn’t that big a deal everyone just kind of expects it of us metahuman types. I guess that is pretty cool.”

Kal turns back to Karen, taking another draught of beer, already filling his second cup, “I figured you get to do cool stuff too right? I am sort of mystified at this place, no alien invasions; no one is trying to destroy the world on a daily basis, pretty tame. I mean, not saying you’re tame, you seem really cool.”

Kal took another drink, “Good stuff.”

Cassie blinks. "My boat? Yoshi.. you shouldn't have." jumps in the boat to look it over. "It is a nice gesture.. but you sure you want to really give me a boat? It's.. so expensive.. and.. well I don't know how to use one." sits in the seat. "Well, I quess you could show me. Why don't you give me a lesson and we can take the others out on the lake, it's a confortable night for it."

 

[Shalimar]

"Fine, tell me exactly what it is am agreeing with and I will tell you how much it is I agree with it. I wouldn't agree to being part of something like Mexico city, but then, I don't really think you guys actually did that, and what's left of Neuro up here agrees with that," the popstar says, tapping a finger to her temple, smiling charmingly at William, who, as far as she could tell was the leader.

She looks startled when Sachana comments on Neuro doing his work well. "Do you mean someone actually told him to do that to me? I thought you believed in the inherent superiority of Elites, why would he be ordered to do it to another elite without seeing what they thought first?"

Ryan shrugs. "Others can explain it better than I, best to hear it from them. Just head back, wait a few days, then make your decision. See you around, Jimmy."

I had a chance to get him out of my life forever, and I blew it. Way to go, Ryan laments as heads back towards Anika's table, smiling.

As he sits down, Ryan explains "Well, I have good news and bad news. It's both the same. Jimmy's coming back. I convinced him to hear what a few people had to say before cutting out."

 

[Agamon]

Anika, sitting at the table, tries her best to ignore the conversation. "Oooooh, I hate him! He's just like Erik, having his fun trying to drive me crazy! Good freakin' riddance!"

As he sits down, Ryan explains "Well, I have good news and bad news. It's both the same. Jimmy's coming back. I convinced him to hear what a few people had to say before cutting out."

"..."

Anika stares at Ryan as he sits down, a look of shock on her face. The shock is soon replaced with a frown. "You what?!?" she says, a little too loudly, adding more quietly, "And what the Hel makes this anything but bad news?" She looks back towards Jimmy, her eyes narrowing. "Maybe I could convince him to leave again...

 

[Hammerhead]

Ryan holds up his hands defensively, raising his voice to defend himself. "You think I like him either?," he retorts. He glances around, then lowers it. "Look at it this way. One way or another, a fight might be coming soon between us and the Overseer's bad guys, or the Pantheon, or whoever. Now, I've seen Jimmy fight, and he's pretty good." Ryan pauses to mentally assert Although nowhere near as good as me. "Wouldn't you be willing to put up with his obnoxious attitude if it meant his help in a difficult fight? Besides, we're doing some Californians a favor," Ryan adds with a smile.

Great, now I did it. I hope she doesn't get even more angry, and try something stupid like antagonizing Jimmy. Of course, I would get to beat Jimmy into a bloody pulp, but still...

 

[Agamon]

"You heard him," Anika responds. "His top three priorities are 'Me, Myself, and I.' We don't need his 'help'. Whatever," she says dejectedly, slumping back in her chair. She sighs and rubs her forehead. "I mean, California could drop into the ocean any day, and now he might not be there for it, she says, cracking a smile. "I'm sorry, it's not your fault, that loser brings out the worst in me. I swear, though, it's going to eventually come down to more than an exchange of words between us...and then you'll be short another 'helper.'

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Okay, I thought the party was going to be by the lake, and I was okay with that...but on a BOAT in the freaking MIDDLE of the LAKE? Charlotte's mind reels, Take deep breaths, or not, that would make me look like a total idiot.

Oh well, just go with the flow, worst comes worst, one of the other elites could save me if I fell in. Her body gave a slight, involuntary shiver as she went up aboard the boat behind Viktor.

"Yoshi really seems to be taken with Cassie, giving her a whole ship-it's a bit overboard, don't you think?" Charlotte jokes, but its hard to hear her voice above all the partying going on around them.
