New Generation Legacy, Issue 1: Back to School

[Sollir Furryfoot]

"I'll stay however far away you feel is comfortable, so long as you talk to me right now. You can tell me what's up or we can just chat about school like normal kids." Cody offers, uneasy but smiling at her honestly, "Whatever will make you feel better, your choice."

"If you want, I can even see if Raph will take us around the campus, flying." he says, trying to move to the side a little to catch her eye, lifting his eyebrows up with a grin. "It's much better than flying on any sort of plane or helicopter, really. And unlike her normal clumsiness, Raph's actually good at keeping people from getting broken so she wouldn't let go."

Clover & Trilly:

"Hey, no skin off my back, girl, whatever floats your boat. I mean, whatever helps my odds," Stacy tells Clover with a laugh. "I just think he was, like, uncomfortable with whole thing, is all. Helluva first impression you made on him though," she adds with a grin.

She turns to look up at the new girl. "God, not another one. Hey, I'm Stacy, how's the air up there?"

New girl frowns. "Yeah, that's funny, blondie. Tina." She listens to Clover tell Trilly about her lineage. "Honorable? What like a judge? Brits." She rolls her eyes.

Cody:

Manjit wipes her eyes as she turns towards Cody, but jumps back as she sees him getting close. "No! You don't understand! You have to stay away from me! I don't want to hurt you..."

"Well, except for the squeamishness he is pretty shagtastic looking, but him having a problem with a part of me pretty much nixes any thoughts I'd have in that direction. Maybe one of the other guys is a bit more...open minded, or one of the girls. Thats the good thing about being open minded, the packaging isn't a turn off if you get on well with someone."

"Pleased to meet you Tina." Clover says, grinning at new girl's comments about being a judge.

"Naw, its you yanks that are the crazy ones. We call them Magistrates, but I was telling Trilly not to call me ladyship, its not accurate to my station. Well, the British Honours system is a bit of cuckoo's nest, but a Lady is generally the wife of a nobleman, which would be my mother. As the oldest child, I'll be Baronness of Dinorben when my dad passes away, but until then I don't have a title of my own. There is all kinds of rules and regulations on how to address nobility, but I think there all pretty schizoid, rediculous, and pretentious. I'd rather avoid being addressed as anything but Clover."

Cody plops his rump on the ground, sitting there Indian-style. He raises his hands up, "Alright, alright. Not going anywhere." he says, trying to defuse the situation.

"I know I've got it easy, my power's pretty simple. Raph's got it a lot harder. I'm not sure if she's like you, but she has to worry constantly about using the right amount of strength...you saw her with that microscope, it just plopped off with probably very little effort from her. She can also fire some pretty dangerous blasts of light and basically, all that power is in the hands of a teenage girl with only an inkling of morality right now." He lets that sink in for a second before continuing, "But that's why we're here, y'know? We feel like if we can understand our powers better, we can control them better...and hopefully, do the right thing with them. Whatever that is." he smiles, pausing, "The offer's are still on the table. We can talk what's up, talk about something else entirely, or go flying. Your choice." he says again, sounding cheerful.

"What can I say? You don't call southern folk Yanks.. I'll stop calling you 'Your ladyship'." Trilly says with a grin. "Well what do we do now?" She says looking around.

"What can I say? You don't call southern folk Yanks.. I'll stop calling you 'Your ladyship'." Trilly says with a grin. "Well what do we do now?" She says looking around.

"Well, I think I am going to go get changed and then go to the gym for a work out. That and try and meet my roommate, not neccessarily in that order, but there you go." Clover says with a shrug. "Anyone want to come with me?"

 

[Hammerhead]

"That's horrible; until now, I had always thought of our abilities as gifts, but I am unable to see how Manjit's ability could be anything but a curse." Emmet looks down, uncomfortable. "I hope Cody can make her feel better, but Manjit faces some serious issues."

If someone managed to create a true AI before any regulatory issues could present themselves, the public wouldn't fear the development of one. And if Dr. Stockov thinks I can develop the necessary learning algorithms, then there's no reason why I couldn't. This could be one of my first big projects.

Should I go back to see about helping Manjit with Cody? I never planned to explore this place by myself.

"Well, I think I am going to go get changed and then go to the gym for a work out. That and try and meet my roommate, not neccessarily in that order, but there you go." Clover says with a shrug. "Anyone want to come with me?"

"Sure, I'm game. Want to play a game of volleyball?" Trilly asks with a grin as she stands up and comes over to where Clover is. "I'll even try to avoid stretching or putting the ball though the floorboards."

She figured it would be interesting to see what the gym was like. Seeing Clover and/or Stacy in tight gym clothes? Definite bonus. Besides, she REALLY wanted to do something like Volleyball or Basketball.. she was BORED since she got band from normal competition.

Jerry hoisted himself out of the pool with an easy, well-practiced heave. He walked right up to the group, entirely unconcerned about being so little clothed in comparison.

"G'day. I'm Jerry," he said to the two new people, with a smile. "But I'll answer to Natasha or Spaz if the mood strikes. Or Tao if you like."

The Asian teen laughs. "Aussie Chinese then? Cool. I'm Jimmy, Jiong back home." His accent is a lot thicker than Yoshi's, but his English is pretty good and more American like Yoshi's.

"It is good to meet you, I'm Amadi," the African boy says as he looks around at the pool area.

"I am not Natasha," Kiyana says with a look at Yoshi, "I am Kiyana," says with a smile to the other two.

"James. My dad calls me Jimmy, but I like James. I'm from Chicago. Well, not quite Chicago, just outside Chicago, Rockford, but, I mean, it's pretty close, so I usually tell people I'm from Chicago, even though I'm not really," James manages to say without taking any pauses.

Yoshi starts laughing while Jimmy shakes his head and grins, "Wow, you weren't kidding."

"Now if you all will pardon me, its been a right long day." He nods and tips his hat to each of the remaining girls and heads off to find his dorm room.

John enters the school and manages to find the boy's dorm section with not too much trouble. Getting in, however, might be more of a chore. The door to the dorm rooms is locked and he has no keys.

"Identity unknown. Please remain still during bioscan," a computerized female voice states from somewhere above before a green gridded light begins moving over him.
