Metahuman College-Issue one: College bound [IC]

James Dunbar, HP 5/5

James followed along with the rest of the group, standing a little apart from the other people and continuously watching everything around him. His face was set in his habitual expression of wary neutrality, giving no clue to his real opinions of the school. 'Huh. Lots of people...more nationalities than I expected. Wonder how many of them are like me? A handful? Half? All of them? Guess I should keep an eye out.'

Marcus Stevens (Proton) HPs: 5/5, Unhurt

Marcus had no idea transferring a few credit hours would be such a hassle. On more than one occasion, Marcus entertained the idea of powering up and demanding that the credits be transferred, but in the end realized that that was not the right way of doing things. His good deed (or lack of a bad one) was rewarded and his hours and refund were arranged.

Marcus had no one with him for the open house, so he hung around with Robbie and/or Jonn if they were alone as well.
 

The presence of Mr. Hansen at the airport sets off all manner of alarm bells in Cloud's mind. She tries to not let it bother her, and by the time they reach Dublin it's almost forgotten.

Cloud will enthusiastically comb through all the material they are given and peruse the schedules with her parents. She'll politely introduce herself to other potential students in passing when opportunity presents itself. Often, she finds herself wondering which of the students might have "special abilities" like herself.

"What do you think so far?" she asks her parents as they make their way to dinner. "I think this place is great!"
 

Hoshiko

“It is definitely… not what I imagined,” her father replied to Hoshiko’s comment. Her mother had no response, simply taking in the school that their daughter wanted to come to. They obtain the information regarding the rest of the open house, and make their way to the girl’s dorm.

One thing that Hoshiko noticed was that despite the number of people she saw milling about on the school grounds, there were not that many rooms occupied within the dorms. In fact, there were enough available rooms that parents who opted to attend the open house with their children were allowed to stay in the neighboring dorm. After saying goodnight to her parents, Hoshiko retired to the room that had been assigned to her.

Upon reaching her room, Hoshiko would find that her roommate had already arrived. Though the living area appeared untouched, half of the bedroom appeared to be a disaster area. Expensive-looking luggage lay open on the bed and floors, and a slender red-head was busily hanging clothing in one of the closets. When Hoshiko and her parents entered the room, she paused in her chore to give Hoshiko a brilliant smile. “Oh, hi! I guess we’re roommates! This is great, I’ve never met a Chinese person before. Do you speak English?”



James

Upon arrival, James and Amelia are quietly taken in through a back entrance, and up a flight of stairs. They are taken into a large room that seems to be packed medical technology. There are also four beds in the room, and Amelia is transferred into the bed furthest from the door.

After quickly assessing his sister, a short Hispanic man approaches him. “James?” he asked quietly. “Christopher told me that you and your sister would be arriving. I am Dr. Garcia, and I will be part of the team who will be taking care of your sister.”

After making sure that Amelia was settled in, James would go down stairs and retrieve his packet of information. The doctor made it quite clear that James would have to sleep in the dorms, though he could visit as often as classes would allow. As he made his way to the dorms, he would notice that most of the students looked relatively normal, but there were a few who had visible mutations… a young woman with green skin and hair, a young man wandering around in body armor, and similar sights.

Not long after James got settled in his dorm, the door opened to reveal a guy with black hair, blue-grey eyes and deeply tanned skin. His roommate, perhaps?



Marcus

Though Marcus had some trouble finding Jonn, Robbie was easily located. The two of them hung out for a bit, before turning in for the evening. Using the map that was provided in their packets, they are able to find the boy’s dormitories. They part ways on the second floor; Robbie’s room was on the second floor, while Marcus’ room was on the third.

After bidding goodnight to Robbie, Marcus retires to his room to discover that his roommate had already arrived. The guy stood about 6 feet tall, with spiky dark hair and grey eyes; he was dressed in dark clothing.



Cloud

“It’s wonderful, honey,” Mrs. Rice replied enthusiastically. “So diverse! This will be a great experience.”

“It’s in the middle of nowhere,” Mr. Rice grumbled. “Honestly, you’d think these people had something to hide, building the school in such a desolate area.”

They make their way to the cafeteria, to find that most of the students had chosen to rest rather than eat. The food is good, though; not even her father could find anything wrong with it. Once supper was finished, they made their way over to the dorms. There, Cloud met her roommate. The girl’s hair was a wild hair color, deep red with streaks of blonde, extremely pale skin, and grey eyes.



Rinea

After leaving the ‘airport’, Max relaxed noticeably; he even smiled and laughed a bit. After the long bus ride, they collected their information packets and Max helped her find her dorm. However, he would not go in with her; more to the point, a tall broad shouldered woman with blonde hair refused to allow him to go in with her.

It did not take long for Rinea to find her room, which was empty for the moment. For awhile Rinea sat alone, pondering various ways to keep her breakfast safe from annoying animated leprechauns. However, her thoughts were interrupted when a slender girl entered the room. The other girl had long, dark hair, and deep brown eyes. She appeared to very weary.
 

James Dunbar, HP 5/5

James glanced over at the newcomer for a moment, saying nothing, his face impassive. Then he turned back to his course pack, continuing to kind of read it while studying the guy with his rather special peripheral vision. To the newcomer, it probably looks like James glanced at him once then totally ignored him. 'Great. A roommate. Well, isn't this going to be fun. After all, I'm such a people person. I wonder if he's got abilities too? Well, think about it. Would they room a normal with a metahuman? I doubt it, especially if they want to keep the presence of people like me a secret. That means he can probably do something...I hope he's not a freaking telepath. Otherwise I'd have to rip out his spine. ....No reaction. Hopefully that means I'm the only one in my brain at the moment.' Apart from James's behaviour, the other point that is a little unusual is how bare James's side of the room is. There is a single large duffel bag dumped at the foot of his bed - and nothing else.

OOC: I am assuming that Hoshiko went to her room without her parents, since it says she did but then says her parents enter her room with her.

Her jaw dropping open at the sight of the strewn about belongings, Hoshiko gingerly steps around and through the mess to the unoccupied section of the room to set her single bag on her bed. Why would anyone need that many clothes, she thinks to herself before recognizing the girl had been talking to her.

"Not Chinese; Japanese," Hoshiko says in heavily accented english. "English, yes," Hoshiko adds, even though it should probably be obvious. "There is another to be here?" Hoshiko asks, again looking over the piles of luggage and clothing, then at her single bag. She tried not to look as nervous as she suddenly felt, both for the obvious wealth of the girl in the dorm, and for the fact she hadn't expected to have a roommate.
 

Rinea smiled broadly and welcomed the newcomer in English, but remained seated with her hands folded in her lap. "Please, come in and make yourself at home... That is assuming this is your destination and you are not just wandering around. There are two beds here, and since I have not yet figured out how to make use of two, perhaps you would care to rest in one. My name is Rinea." Aside from Rinea's person, the room was completely neat and undisturbed.

“It’s in the middle of nowhere,” Mr. Rice grumbled. “Honestly, you’d think these people had something to hide, building the school in such a desolate area.”

"Maybe it's just so that we have fewer distractions," Cloud says with a wry grin. "Or to keep us out of trouble. Seems like a perfect environment for a school, really."

Cloud is a bit surprised by her roommate's wild hair color, but doesn't want to make any snap judgements. She gives the girl a warm smile and offers her hand.

"Hi there," she says. "I'm Watching Cloud Rice, but you can just call me Cloud. I take it we're going to be roomies?"

Rinea enthusiastically stands and shakes hands rather formally. “Roomies?” She looks confused for a second, until comprehension flashes across her face. “Yes… roomies. I am so pleased to meet you Cloud. Come in and make yourself at home. Perhaps we should get to know each other, so we can identify our vast incompatibilities. That is how these things work, isn’t it?”

Jonn Birkey (Rumble)

Jonn enjoyed the flight with Marcus and Robbie. He slept for periods so he would be ready to go when they arrived. Once they got their luggage and boarded the bus the excitement and anticipation could easily be felt.

The academy was amazing! There was no their way to describe it. Jonn quickly unpacked his things and went out to explore the grounds and meet the other students. He enjoyed the company of Marcus and Robbie but knew they would not be kept together the whole time.

His journey of the grounds started off rather fun. However, he quickly realized he had left his map in the room and ended up getting very confused and lost.
