"Sounds like a plan." Charlotte says before walking over to see the doctor with the rest.

I don't suppose the doc could subscribe some sort of mega-aspirin, cause I don't think much else would really help. Secretly, she breathes a sigh of relief, Arafina and a few others took that much more easily than she thought they would.

When she has the moment, she'll ask Cassie, Karen, Kelly and Jun Min, "What do you guys say to a girl's night out on the town?"

Uh oh, I'm not quite sure of Arafina wanted for Jun Min to go, and it is sort of weird to go out a night with the person you just fought in battle...but I guess it's the polite thing to do...Yeah, it's the right decision...I think.
 

"Sounds like fun ... but I kind of promised Kal we would go out tonight." she seems unsure, I'd really like to go out with Kal ... but it would be great to get to know the other girls better too... and I promised Claire we'd have dinner together...
 

The Yard

Jun Min blinks somewhat surprised by the request, “Well of course, I know a great theme restaurant I have been dying to go to, with a Pacific Islander theme just opened up, they have entertainment, good food, and stuff, a real nice place, I hear!” She is just beaming with a chance to be just one of the girls, “Bring Kal along,” she says to Karen, haring her remarks, “just cause he is out of this world,” she winks, “ does not mean he would not enjoy the food.”

Arafina seems somewhat surprised at Charlotte but smiles, “That sounds great,” gives Charlotte a kiss on the cheek, “talk to you in a bit, alright?” her form changes into a bird and she flies back to the dorms.

Dr. McTaggert sighs, “Well yes, have a good night out, but first lasses, lets get ye all checked up, makes sure none of you is mortally wounded,” she laughs, “or broke a fingernail or what have you, this way.”

The doctor does a thorough examination on each student and treats the minor injuries, before letting each of the students go with a clean bill of health. Relatively so, some were far better off then others.

Karen after the Checkup

Another blinking message is sitting on her monitor when she returns to her room. It is a simple message like before with the cryptic words:

Perhaps I am a wolf, but you should not fear the wolf, but the wolf that hides behind the mask of the sheep. But I would hope that you would see me differently then how the media paints up our actions, or do hold us responsible for all the world’s ills?

There is a reply button at the bottom of the window.

Kelly

Kelly returns to her room with various messages from her agent about movie deals, messages from her label, and verifications of purchases made and shipped to her. As she is getting changed, a video message pops up on her monitor…

“Hey… whoa… oops… umm, sorry, didn’t mean to override the system, usually you have to wait for some one to answer, I bypassed it, but oh, umm,” it is Tommy, “I had something really important to ask, well talk to you about, I mean you really want to get on Legacy right?”

The Yellow Lotus Parlor

Looks like a well furnished Eastern themed country club, with a lush exclusive atmosphere, and a staff made up of predominately beautiful young Asian women, wearing somewhat provocative outfits. The vehicles pull into an underground garage, separate from other vehicles, and the elites are asked to follow Li and his uncle.

They are taken upstairs into a private backroom, with a sweet aroma in the air, a fully stocked bar, a large plasma screen monitor and plush accommodations, and various attractive if not gorgeous women attending to their every whim and need. Thankfully Anika and Ryan have not been spotted as of yet, and are able to spy in secrecy.

Li takes a seat, “So please have a seat,” he says to Mark, Yoshi, and Billy, “as I mentioned before we are quite shocked at such an attack on your person, and would like to extend our condolences to you, Mr. McNamara.”

Yoshi nods, “Uhh yeah,” he gazes at the women, “yeah what you said man, damn this place is nice.”

“Yes it is, and we cater to every need and whim, both mundane and somewhat unorthodox,” Li replies with a straight face, “I must admit I have an ulterior motive for bringing you here, it has come to our attention that a center for mandatory registration is being established locally, and some of our staff, on hand are elites who would much rather prefer to lead quiet lives without outside interference, perhaps I would like to think that a man of your stature and power could perhaps broker a deal to reserve such a right with appropriate compensation of course.”

Billy bristles but says nothing, as Yoshi just blinks, looking to Mark.
 

After Ryan and Anika snuck invisibly into the Yellow Lotus Parlor, following Li and the other members of Legacy into the private backroom, Ryan takes a moment to survey his surroundings.

Talk about decadent luxury, he comments to Anika. That TV is huge! I wonder how much one costs? It would be great for the football season, or watching movies.

Anyway, I wonder what their angle is, bringing Mark, Yoshi, and Billy here. They can't mean to murder them...

Oh. They want their enforcers not to be registered. Thank goodness Cassandra isn't here, she'd probably make a deal with the guy with her anti-registration feelings. Still, why turn to Mark? Unless teenage girls decide who's being registered, Mark probably isn't the best person to see. Why not Tommy? And do they really think they're going to bribe us?
 

Anika does her best to be still, quiet and out of the way. "Football?" she thinks, "I should take you to a hockey game this winter. I know you're a football player, but I bet you'd like it, it's pretty physical, too."

"Oh, boy. This is where the trouble begins, I think..." Anika thinks as Mark ponders his response.

Mark nods politely in thanks.

“Yes it is, and we cater to every need and whim, both mundane and somewhat unorthodox,” Li replies with a straight face, “I must admit I have an ulterior motive for bringing you here, it has come to our attention that a center for mandatory registration is being established locally, and some of our staff, on hand are elites who would much rather prefer to lead quiet lives without outside interference, perhaps I would like to think that a man of your stature and power could perhaps broker a deal to reserve such a right with appropriate compensation of course.”

So the guy who probably gave my attacker his day job wants me to help him keep his elites unregistered? Riiight. Mark quitely weighed Li's words for a few moments.

"That's quite a favor you're asking for," Mark says uncomfortably. "The UN is a big organization and they do a lot of good in the world. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with helping someone subvert their rules..." Mark says piously. "What kind of elites are we talking about?"
 

Kelly

Kelly returns to her room with various messages from her agent about movie deals, messages from her label, and verifications of purchases made and shipped to her. As she is getting changed, a video message pops up on her monitor…

“Hey… whoa… oops… umm, sorry, didn’t mean to override the system, usually you have to wait for some one to answer, I bypassed it, but oh, umm,” it is Tommy, “I had something really important to ask, well talk to you about, I mean you really want to get on Legacy right?”
Kelly had taken a few asprin before her shower, and that seemed to help a little bit, then there was the shower that was almost long enough to run her room out of hot water, and that seemed to help a lot, especially all of the different aromas from her hand made soaps and shampoos. Yes, between all of the pampering and the medicine, she was starting to feel human again. Humming one of her songs softly to herself, she towled herself dry, and was crossing her room to her walk-in clothes chest when her computer sounded off a tone, and a video chat of Tommy came up. Her eyes widen as the thought of Tommy seing her naked dawns on her. She gave a startled yelp, and did her best to cover herself with her hands. The fact that Tommy was getting a peep show that a lot of her fans would pay a fortune to see was not lost on the young popstar, and she quickly side-stepped into her Wardrobe.

"Wha...What do you want?" Kelly asked sounding startled, angry, embarressed and out of breath, as she hurriedly pulled on a pair of cosabello silk panties that cost more then most people made in a week. She continued dressing, pulling on a pair of faded jeans (professionally faded of course), and a mid-drift that seemed too tight until you realize that its the style, and that Kelly doesn't have enough fat on her body to grease a cookie sheet. Taking a deep calming breath, Kelly steps out from inside her refuge, her cheeks going pink as she looks at the kid who had gotten an eye-full of her that only one other guy had seen.

"Like you have to promise that you wont ever do that again Tommy, I mean, that was so uncool, you have to promise me that you'll destroy the vid log of this call, I mean, I don't want anyone else to see that, not anyone." she tells the computer geek anxiously, knowing how quickly pictures and video that was even remotely interesting would get spread around. She sighs as she throws herself backward on her bed, hugging her knees into her chest.

"Yes, I really do want to be on the Legacy, I want to save people and stuff." she says hesitantly, still not feeling comfortable talking to a 14 year old who had just seen her naked.
 

"Thanks Miss Kim. I'll need someone to tell me if the food is any good anyway," she jokes, smiling at her.

She patiently sits through the checkup and heads back to her room eager to get out of her gym clothes. In her room she tosses the torn shirt and shorts into a corner and takes a refreshing shower, scrubbing hard to get rid of the burn marks Kensei left her.
After her shower she puts on her trademark jeans and T-shirt, both having seen more washing machines than would be considered fashionable. It wasn’t until then that she noticed the message blinking on her screen.

Maybe I should ask Tommy how Bishop can send me messages, she thinks as she sits down to type a reply:

Dear William

I don’t know what to think anymore. A friendly man talks to me on the plane and gives me hope. In less than an hour I find out he’s one of the worlds most wanted terrorists. Within the week you are involved in an incident in a bar endangering many innocents.
I know the media doesn’t always tell us what really happened, but you must admit that usually some truth can be found in there.

Regards

Ruby


After she has send the message, she tries to find out how she can send a video message to someone, wanting to contact Claire to tell her that her plans have changed.
