Metahuman College-Issue one: College bound [IC]

[Calinon]

"But, that is not..." she starts before 'Lucky' runs out the door. "...your plate," Hoshiko sighs. "He does not need to run. Maybe people be nicer to him and he would act properly. Throwing things and chasing him with angry voices will not help..." she says, turning around to see it was Ms. Cross that spoke behind her. "...things," she trails off. Nervous and self counscious suddenly at her unintentional confronting of an instructor, she momentarily considers simply returning to her seat. But she manages to keep enough resolve for a somewhat shaky, "He may be metahuman person too, not a creature," though she keeps her eyes lowered to the floor and doesn't look at Ms. Cross when she speaks.

But she manages to keep enough resolve for a somewhat shaky, "He may be metahuman person too, not a creature," though she keeps her eyes lowered to the floor and doesn't look at Ms. Cross when she speaks.

Ms. Cross's eyebrows shot up at Hoshiko's words, and she paused, examining the girl for a long moment. At ast, her lips twitch in a movement that could have been a smile, and she says in a voice that is slightly less cold, "Well, I suppose he could be. I shall see what I can find out." She paused a moment, in case Hoshiko had a reply, before striding out of the room.

"Well, there was a bit of excitement," Mr. Pike said at last with a chuckle. "Now then, I am certain you have heard enough of an old man's ramblings. Welcome to all. Please, help yourself to the food as I see that there is still plenty. At 12 o'clock, the students will reconvene at the location specified in their packets in order to meet with their family groups. During that time, I will be more than happy to sit down to tea with any parents in attendance, to answer any question about our school.”

Hoshiko stays quiet, returning to her table. Once Ms. Cross leaves, she lets out a sigh. "That is very scary woman. Hopefully she is not angry with me," she says the table. Returning to the previous conversation, she says to Julie and the nearly sleeping Jake, "Family name is Mai. Given name is Hoshiko. These are my mother and father. It is good to meet you Julie and... is Jake asleep?" she asks.

Rinea is obviously very relieved that the threat of Lucky has subsided, at least for now. She turns her attention to the conversations and goings on around her, but not before saying to James, “Well, James, you handled that situation very well. Do you have much experience dealing with the villains of your world?”

 

[Rybaer]

Cloud watches the entire episode with Lucky with quiet amusement. Seems harmless enough, she thinks. I wonder if he's real or a creation of my new roomie's. At least she seems slightly less off her rocker now...

She gives her parents a somewhat embarrassed shrug. "Looks like this place could end up being a never-ending source of new experiences," she says.

Marcus Stevens (Proton) HPs: 5/5

Marcus looked down at his plate, making certain that it was still there before continuing to finish his breakfast. 'No reason any of this good food should go to waste,' Marcus thought.

"Food's good, guess the little dude had the right idea," Marcus said quietly to the others at the table.

Returning to the previous conversation, she says to Julie and the nearly sleeping Jake, "Family name is Mai. Given name is Hoshiko. These are my mother and father. It is good to meet you Julie and... is Jake asleep?" she asks.

“Oh! I am sorry about that,” Julie replies as Hoshiko corrects her, her cheeks reddening in embarrassment. “It is very nice to meet all of you.” Looking over to Jake, she gently nudged him. “Looks like he is…”

“What?” Jake asked sleepily in response to the nudge. “What’d I miss?”

She gives her parents a somewhat embarrassed shrug. "Looks like this place could end up being a never-ending source of new experiences," she says.

“New experiences…” her father replied with a pained expression. “Princess, are you sure you want to come here? We can afford to send you to a college that’s closer to home. One that doesn’t have…. leprechauns running around.”

"Food's good, guess the little dude had the right idea," Marcus said quietly to the others at the table.

“I guess…” Tank replied, as he lifted his last forkful of food to his mouth. “You think he’s gonna be coming around to every meal?”

James Dunbar, HP 5/5

. She turns her attention to the conversations and goings on around her, but not before saying to James, “Well, James, you handled that situation very well. Do you have much experience dealing with the villains of your world?”

James just looks at Rinea for a moment, looking lik he's trying to decide if she's joking. After a few moments, he does eventually speak. "Some." 'Jeez, I can't take any more of this. At least it seems the speeches are over..' With that, James gets up and quietly leaves the room by the closest possible exit, ignoring the other students. (unless one of the teachers tells him not to leave, of course) Assuming he is allowed to leave the hall, once outside, James leans up aaginst the wall for a moment. 'That was harder than I thought it'd be. I'm sure I made a great impression with the knife-throwing and all. Jesus...'
Moving awa form the dining hall, James wanders around the school a bit, mapping the place out and basically poking his nose into anywhere he's allowed to. He's especially interested in finding the location of the infirmary and any gym.

“I guess…” Tank replied, as he lifted his last forkful of food to his mouth. “You think he’s gonna be coming around to every meal?”

"Naah, if he follows his m.o., it'll just be breakfast. At least, it will wake people up in the morning," Marcus commented. He glanced around the room, trying to check out the girls who might be classmates here at the school.

"So, Ms. Steele, you goin' to school here then, or teaching, or something?" Marcus asked.

Nobody tries to stop James as he leaves the dining hall and begins to wander the school. There are very few people in the halls; most of them were apparently at the welcoming breakfast. The school itself was a maze, though sings on the walls helped James to get around. The first stop was the gym; it was well equipped with weight machines, free weights and cardio equipment. There were three doors leading out of the workout room: two which apparently lead to locker rooms, and one that opened into an adjoining basketball court.

As James wandered, he found several classrooms, as well as a few doors that were unmarked. These doors were locked, and there was no window to allow a person in the hall to see into the room.

Finally, he made his way up a flight of stairs. Following the signs, he was able to find his way to the infirmary, where Amelia rested.
