New Generation Legacy, Issue 1: Back to School

[Shalimar]

As the other two girls were swinging swords, Stacy decided to jog some laps around the gym. She wasn't really the sporty type, but she liked to keep in shape. She's worked up a good sweat by the time Clover mentions food, so she stops to catch her breath and listens as the conversation changes directions. She rolls her eyes.

"Honestly. Is it, like, that hard to ask if she's a lesbian? Wow, I've seen straights embarrassed by gays, but this is..." she trails off, looking at Trilly, and it's almost like you can hear the gerbil spinning in its wheel as she tilts her head in thought.

"Huh," she says with a pause. Then another, "huh." Another pause. "It's not a big deal," she states, then asks, "it's not a big deal, right?" She looks a wee bit confused.

Blushing at Stacey's questions and comments, Clover shrugs, with a little smile on her face at the news that an incredibly hot girl that seemed to like her was a lesbian. "Its depends on your point of view though don't it? I mean you don't have to really worry about it, 9 out of 10 people are straight, so almost any guy that you see woud be open to going out with you. For us its a bit different, if we see someone we think is shagtastic, the chances are they aren't actually likely to be gay."

"Also, you have to admit Trilly totally looks like sex on legs in that get-up. Is it so surprising that I might be nervous asking such a hot girl if there is at least a possibility of the two of us getting together at some point?" Clover asks Stacey, blushing a little more deeply at needing to explain herself.

"I mean, with such a small student body, its possible that I could have been the only one who likes girls here, and that would have meant no one to snog with til after graduation. If I just liked girls a mean. Thats bound to make anyone a bit nervous right? That and I've never actually done it before." the british girl says the last part rather fast, making it run together.

Trilly & Clover:

As the other two girls were swinging swords, Stacy decided to jog some laps around the gym. She wasn't really the sporty type, but she liked to keep in shape. She's worked up a good sweat by the time Clover mentions food, so she stops to catch her breath and listens as the conversation changes directions. She rolls her eyes.

"Honestly. Is it, like, that hard to ask if she's a lesbian? Wow, I've seen straights embarrassed by gays, but this is..." she trails off, looking at Trilly, and it's almost like you can hear the gerbil spinning in its wheel as she tilts her head in thought.

"Huh," she says with a pause. Then another, "huh." Another pause. "It's not a big deal," she states, then asks, "it's not a big deal, right?" She looks a wee bit confused.

Trilly shrugs as she listens to Stacy's comment. "I'm not shopping around or trying to convert any girls to the 'other side'. I know what interests me and what I like. Still, I grew up in a small southern town, with a conservative baptist population, so I usually keep quiet about it and to myself. I don't think I plan on advertising too loudly till I get a better feel for how things are on the campus. Gay bashers who can crush trucks might not be too cool to deal with. Figured that Clover could handle it and you needed to know too Stacy."

"I would prefer to assume that I could do more than simply win at Jeopardy. Surfing is not really my activity of choice, although it seems like Cody here seems enthusiastic about that activity. Speaking of Raph, hasn't she waited the requisite ten minutes," Emmet queries, pointing at the clock.

Jerry shrugged, unperturbed, "Swimming's just as good. Anything with water."

"It was a pleasure to meet you Jerry. If you were serious about having trouble with mathematics, I could easily assist you. Manjit, you want to head towards the cafeteria for a meal?"

"You're a lifesaver, Ems! I really am awful; barely passed last year."

Nick blinks, “Wow that is kickass… weird but kickass.”

“Alright Layla… so you can like send or read thoughts right? That is pretty damn cool, never met anyone that could do that. So can you read minds too?” Nick smirks, Like can you hear this, testing one, two, three… I am not sure how this works. Hell maybe you can’t read this? And no my power isn’t just sneaking up on people… well not usually. I have an innate sense of finding the most interesting people… kind of like radar.

Nick smirks while eating a plum, “Call me Nick, and although I can’t read minds I can control gravity in a variety of ways. No I don’t understand how it works I just do what I do.” Nick gives Layla a genuine smile, Things just got interesting here.

“This is my pal Yoshi, we go all the way back to about ten minutes ago, which pretty much makes us BFFs,” he jokes. Nick follows that up with a thought, If you can hear my thoughts, then give me a wink.

Layla's smile gets wider. Nick gets the feeling that between the chewing out and the fact she was sitting by herself until he got there because of it, she was looking depressed. "Pleased to meet you guys," she sends to them.

She looks back at Nick, and follows up with, "I don't need to wink, Yoshi can't hear this. I need to read your surface thoughts to understand what you're saying, I only speak Arabic. You control gravity? That's pretty cool."

Yoshi focuses on his plate, not realizing there's another conversation going on.

John gets out of the machine and starts to towel off before answering the question. "Don't get me wrong, I am sure your friend is nice and all but shes white and hes," he pauses for a moment. "Well he isn't." He says with a shrug.

"And that's wrong?" Jimmy asks with a bit of a glare. "They were talking, what's wrong with that?"

 

[Agamon]

Clover & Trilly

"Just joking around, Clo," Stacy says, "no probs."

She looks at Trilly. "No, I mean, well, I have no problem at all with what you like, y'know?" She pauses. "It's just...I dunno...forget it, I'm being weird. Sorry.

"We should get something to eat, but yeah I'm gonna go clean up. First impressions and everything. I don't wanna everyone saying, oh hey, look, it's stinky girl," she jokes. "Meet you at the cafeteria?"

With that, she leaves the gym.

 

[Agamon]

Cody, Emmet, Jerry

"The cafeteria?" Manjit asks, apprehensively. "Do you think there'll be a lot poeple there? I had to sit off to the side for the opening speeches..." She sighs. "Maybe they should have just told everybody about me, then they could avoid me as much as I try to avoid them."

Nick nods, Well that answers my questions, so you can read surface thoughts? What are brains like water with like surface thoughts I guess being at the top and deeper thoughts deeper in the brain or something? Interesting analogy I guess, I think that is the right term. Yeah I am sure it is more then just “Gravity Control” or whatever you want to call it, but it’s the best I can do to explain what I do… it was explained to me once but I sort of zoned out.

“Heh watch this,” Nick glances over the table where Jun Min and her peers are having a conversation. He focuses creating a small zone of higher gravity centered on the table, the plates, cups, and utensils. Essentially making their forks, plates, and other table items weigh much more then they should.

This effectively makes objects on the table weigh about 3 tons, Max Load for a Strength of 35 (Power Rank 7 x 5). Considering it is not selective he may end up making the people their weigh much more too…

So you okay, you looked a little lonely over here I hope this Prison… I mean Institute isn’t getting you down or something. We just have to find the fun in things, no reason to be sad on the first day. That just makes for a long year, Nick adds.

Once he causes a suitable ruckus, he will drop the gravity field.

 

[Mimic]

"And that's wrong?" Jimmy asks with a bit of a glare. "They were talking, what's wrong with that?"

"Nothin wrong with talking," he says with a shrug. "But what happens if they start dating? People should stick to their own kind."

I've seen New York on the telly so I could probably get there if it's inside my range. It's- It doesn't have to be pictures but they help a lot. I need like, a good sense of where I'm going. Without that I don't get lost. I just don't go; it doesn't work."

"An ocean of shadows, that sounds really interesting. I'm sure we can use the library's resources figure out some spots on the way to the Red Sea if you wanna check it out. Maybe later though, Emmet's suggestion for food sounds pretty good. Wanna come with?" Cody says to Jerry. Not that he didn't want to be alone with this guy, on some level he just didn't trust himself.

Cody looks at the clock, "Yeah, you're right. Might as well be fair, she is her own person after all." Closing his eyes, the teen calls out with a strange emphasis in his voice "Raph.", opening his eyes again.

As Raph fades into view, Cody sighs at her. "Please be more careful with technology, I know you didn't mean it but we really need to review over that kind of stuff. No harm, no foul though, what you broke they said they could fix pretty easily."

Cody steals another look at his handsome new friend, "Jerry this is Raph. Raph, Jerry. We're gonna grab some food Raph, you up for it?" he says smiling, knowing that Raph's answer will be enthusiastic.
