Mutant High Issue 1: The house that Xavier Built

[Relique du Madde]

"My grandma always called magic a science..." Her face turned red from embarrassment. "I got an idea..."

She glanced up towards the Beast, who was busy grading some papers, or at least that is what she assumed he was doing. "Uhm.. Dr. McC... um..., Beast, is there any cool sounding scientific term that describes the process of when a chemical or something changes its state?"

OOC: Round 4, right?

[sblock]I'm confused about Paragon's Boost (Powers) ability. You only listed three powers of Gwen's that were boosted, but she has other powers than what you've listed. For example, shouldn't Gwen's Enhanced Dex be affected (and her effective Dex right now at 37)? I'm going to assume that's an error and proceed as normal. Additionally, I am assuming that he can only boost powers to (PL) rank, but let us know if that's not accurate.[/sblock]

The crazy-looking woman shakes her head, her scarred left eye glowing slightly as she resists the attack. "Nuh-uh, Stay Outa my mind, babe."

She's dangerous, Gwen realizes. Better try something else.

Reaching out hand towards Shriek, Gwen shoots a wad of webbing, hoping to entangle the villainness. After doing so, Gwen crawls into the bank and along the ceiling, then checks the results of her handiwork.

I won't be letting it boost Enhanced powers, b/c those are essentially 'abilities', and his boost doesn't enhance Abilities, it enhances Powers.
Boost cannot raise powers above the PL cap.
Also,

I'm going to say that the Boost runs out at the END of the round, not on Quarterback/Paragon's(We need to settle on one btw, I'm gonna use Paragon until you decide, as it's the one the teachers would use.) turn. This starts the round AFTER he uses it, meaning that the end of THIS round you all loose 1pp from your boosted abilities (Though most of them aren't affected by it yet as they weren't using ALL 10 pp)

The boost is at 9pp for this round.

(oops! OOC: Psst. Jemal.)

[sblock]Condensation: Gas to liquid
Sublimation: Solid to gas
Deposition: Gas to solid
Evaporation: Liquid to gas
Solidification: Liquid to solid
Liquification (or melting): Solid to Liquid

Not sure if this is official, but you might call any state change to plasma: Ignition.[/sblock]

Beast smiles "WELL, That's a bit off-topic, but I'm glad to see you girls taking an interest in this Fascinating subject!" The beast hops up on his table and begins a 10-minute lecture on diferent phase changes, during which you glean the following :
[sblock=Phase Transitions]Gas to liquid is Condensation
Gas to solid is Deposition
Liquid to gas is Evaporation
Liquid to solid is Solidification
Solid to gas is Sublimation
Solid to Liquid is Liquification (otherwise known simply as Melting)
General state changes are often reffered to as Phase Transitions, and are a part of Thermodynamics.

By the time he's done, several students are giving Miranda dirty looks, and Derek is trying VERY hard not to smile as he exchanges amused looks with the two girls.
Fortunately, class is almost over, and Dr McCoy/Beast is busy writing something on the board.. The nights reading assignment.. And mentioning how he'll be expanding more into Thermodynamic's impact on some of their experiments in the future.

As the Beast wrote the assignment, Miranda glanced around the room nervously.

In the air above her lab station, a small mutant boy with a pyrotechnic based power wrote the word villain. This message lasted long enough for it to snuffed out by a paper ball that was aimed towards Miranda. The paper ball then landed on the counter right in front of Miranda. By the way it landed she knew that the student who threw it could have hit her if she wanted to.

The paper contained a short message written on one of its sides: That BETTER NOT be on tomarrow's quiz! The other side had a crude stick figured drawing of a girl in a dress with garbage being dumped on her. Just so that Miranda would clearly understand the message, the girl in the picture was labeled as YOU!!

Miranda started to laugh nervously as her body slowly began to fade away. When her body was completely invisible she began to whisper, "Do you two think I can escape before someone notices I'm gone?"

"Eh, Keep it." Nicolas said with a smile, a bright flash of white teeth as he looked down to his own table, resting a hand on it. The business took a little while, but slowly but surely he shaved a tiny bit of height off every table in the caffeteria, leaving them all perhaps a milimeter shorter than when he'd started. "Always said these tables were too tall for the younger kids."

He laughed a little then, slipping up from his table at last, moving forward to offer his hand to the other man. "If Kitty's introduced herself I can't let myself be upstaged. Nicolas Asher... Alchemist I'm sure you heard Pyro call me." He grinned then listening to the students words. "Maybe. Though I'll warn you right now, Pyro's a bit of a hot head... no pun intended. I'll be lucky if he doesn't try to blow me up for the joke I played on his jacket."

 

[ShaggySpellsword]

"All the more reason to see to it that he realizes that he can't just blow anyone up--plus, if you are burned to badly, I could probably put you back together...that's part of what I do. Kitty, you game?"

Wi-Fi finally turns the last page of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. "Dude, that ending sucked." and looking around and noting that the scene was not as he left it, says "...what happened to the table ...dude?" Wi-fi looks around and notes that Alchemist is no longer at his side; he seems to be flirting again. Sighing, he gets up and slouches over to Xian, Kitty, and Alchemist.

"What's up guys? Oh, hey Xian, I'm Wi-Fi... scanned you the other day when you arrived."

He [sends] to Alchemist: [dude, what're you doing talking to Kitty... you know how jealous Lightshow can get]. He searches for her mind [she's in the bathroom right now so that gives you about 3 minutes to get the heck outta here].

"Stop running," Astrid suggests crossly, grabbing the note and wadding it up. "It'll just keep getting worse. Stay visible and flip 'em off. If they're too stupid to take notes on a lecture, that's not YOUR fault."
