[Blockader7]

In one of Clair and Micheals classes:
"The latest Russian revolution"
the teacher has just written the words on the board and allready there are bored moans in the class. The teacher of course starts to talk aniway. It is Mr Redge, a black man from america himself. Talk is he fled after he was forbidden to teach real history to his students.
"Okay folks I don't care if you want to hear this but you damn sure should know, cause of someday we are all blown out in one big nuclear explosion this will be one of the sides that you have to thank. Of course, you have all heard about the big breakdown in 88. No don't give me that look, I know you have forgotten it but i just told you last month. Okay, the short version is that it all fell apart in the Soviet Union. The long term effects of communism had brought the Russians to their knees and no amount of force from the government could prevent hungry people from going to the streets or an econimy without resources from breaking down. It was time for a change in leadership and for a short time it looked like the Soviets could even become democratic. Of course you all know that it didn't happen that way and the mere idea makes most people laugh. But it could realy have happened as unlikely as it seems then you look at Russia now. Fact is that for some people the changes did not come fast enough and the decided to take the matter in their own hands. Especialy one General Mikhail Tretyak. Yep that's the one called Mighty Misha by the media, don't tell me you don't even watch news animore. At that time General Tetyak was the official head of Grimson Pride. Oh yes of course you have heard of those, why doesn't it wonder me that you know about people who blow up a lot of stuff. For those of you that do not know, Grimson Pride is the name the Russians gave the Delta Special teams of their country. The General was one in a long line of leader the government had appointed for the squad since they did not want to give one of the mutants the command. They where just as paranoid as the american government after Kennedys death. Unlike his precedors General Tretyak did not meet an unexlpained early end since his people highly repsected him. It's said that this was for the simple matter that he rarely sent them on suicide missions. There are no actual facts available about his command of course so all this is just speculation. The fact is that he just stormed the goverment and took over the country in a bloody coup. He personaly shot every member of the politburo that wouldn't pledge his unswerving support to the new regime and he did it live on TV so we can be fairly sure it realy happened. If i can get the permision of your parents we might watch those scenes next week but I warn you that this was realy a terrible moment.

Tretyak lived by one rule: "Might makes right" and he had a lot of might on his side, especialy after the other military forces joined him. He weeded out corruption in the government with way that would even have impressed the inqusition and within weeks he had the country rolling as if the troubles of the early 80s had just been a bad dream. Most historians asume that wihtout him the Soviet Union would have crumbled and the Iron Curtain would no longer exist."

Mumbles to himself:

"Nobody told him right makes might huh?"

To the teacher:

"So where is he today?"

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Clair idly rolls his pencil down on his desk, catching it to do it again as he toughs his way through history class-the thought of hanging out of the institute afterwards enough to give him strength to stick it through. I wonder where Fabienne *really* went earlier today, probably with that Enrique guy. He thinks, watching the pencil slide again.

As Michael asks his question, Clair listens on, curious to see the teacher's response.

"Well time is mostly up, but if it interests you we can get to the details of the current political situation tomorow. In short, Mighty Misha stell rules over Russia and is still stuck in the cold war with America."
The bell rings and the whole class looks more than a little happy to get to lunch break.

Clair sees Fabienne running of and bunping into Jackson in the break. He can't hear it all with all the students around him but it sounds as if she is angry cause he called her costume cheesy and wants to go out with him tonight. It makes an interesting combination to say the least. They are interupted then Mandy (one of Eslarnes girls, the one on the right of the pic) stops by to invite him and Fab to the party on saturday.

Katie:
Katie's time at the school is not the most fun. The students avoid her and most of the teachers don't realy know what to think of her. They are pretty friendly but realy don't talk much to her.
The students simply avoid her cause she is a teacher and that's not exactly the type of people you chat with during your break. Her high expectations from her class also help to get even more distance between her and the other kids in her age. Which makes it even more obvious the a dark tanned girl who looks like 16 or something suddenly walks right into the bubble of privacy that formed around Katie and smiles like she just won the lottery. She runds forward and pulls at Katies arm.
"Hey there, you'r it! I mean you'r the one! Aeh I mean you'r the fourth...aniway you goa come, want to have lunch with us? I'm Alita what's your name?"
She pulls Katie along while babbling.

Chamber

At luch Jonothan finds a quite spot under a tree and hastily sribbles out his homework assignments. Not really paying attention to the other students or anything else, he nods off listing to music with his books in his lap.

 

[KitanaVorr]

Katie stands still, not allowing the girl to pull her along so abruptly. Naive she may be, but she was still the very independent sort and not easily pushed around.

She smiled at the excited girl very friendly-like. "Hi Alita. I'm Katie Nguyen, the new teacher here at the school."

Her smile though was wearing rather thin by now from everyone's treatment of her today. Why they were doing this, she couldn't really understand. Things like this never happened to her before. By now, she moved around with a rather confused half smile on her face - growing thinner with the unfriendly responses.

It was a horrible first day and only lunch time and all Katie wanted to do was go fetch either her skateboard or the surfboard then find a lonesome place where she could just fight with nature and not the people who populated it.

She was beginning to think that Dr. Lucas idea to teach at the highschool was a very bad one.

Joey spots Katie looking uneasy, and seeing a chance to make her smile, moves to her otherside, as she talks, and speaks taking her by some surprise, "Hey teach," he flashed an apple, "want an apple?"

Joey smiles to the other girl, "Hey the name is Joey, whassup," before he continues with Katie, "Nice class, looked kind of nervous up there, intense too, actually made my brain cells, work... and here I almost thought about skipping that period, hey tell you what, why don't we skip out the rest of the day, and carve some turf downtown?"

Joey places an arm around Katie's shoulder with a smile, "I mean the day is young and all."

The girl nods to Joey. "Hey"
She turns back to Katie.
"You'r a teach? You'r kdding right? Aniway, don't want to interupt you two. Specialy not if you'r going out, we'll just have to find someone else."
She picks up a custom built skateboard from the wall beside her and runs of to buy a limo at the corner.

 

[Shalimar]

"How come I didn't get an apple J?" she teases him, grinning at her room-mate. She still wasn't entirely thrilled by Joey's paying more attention to Katie, but if it loosened her up then it was all to the good, she didn't really want to share a room with one of her teachers, it would make cutting the class pretty dificult to get away with, best to get on her good side.

"Eris." she said by way of introduction to the other girl, that it probably wasn't neccessary hadn't crossed her mind. She drops her arm on Katies other shoulder, her fingers resting on Joey's arm. "We definitely should do something. Its too nice of a day to waste here, not really doing anything." she agreed. Eris couldn't help but find the idea of getting a teacher to play hookie hilarious, if Katie would go along with it.

"So where are we going? I could definitely go for some blading if your gonna skate."

"Hi" Alita hurries of even faster after Eris arrival, with her worn out jeans and turned baseball cap this is deffinatly not her type of crowd. She slides down the railing on the side of the stairs and gets to the street with one spin in the air. Katie only knows a few people who are good enough to pull that of with such grace (one of them being herself of course). It's realy a strong contrast to Alias unsure behavior while talking.
Two boys wait for her, both with their own boards and she sits with them, drinking and chating. They motion in Katies direction, she says a few words and then they just shrug and ignore her. It's not realy possible to hear what they talked about but they look a bit disapointed.
