New Generation Legacy, Issue 1: Back to School

"Beats me," he mutters to Raph. "The popular obsession with such sporting activities both confuses and disgusts me," he says, careful not to let Jerry overhear him.

"Who would guess that such a plethora of equipment is needed to capitalize on tidal patterns for low-speed, non-powered nautical movement," Emmet jokes in a louder voice. "Why not just wear a swim suit...or better yet, use a boat?"

"Weren't we supposed to keep a low profile?" John asks Nick as he appears beside the two girls.
Nick smirks, “Man relax, she just said try… what are these girls going to do, kill us? Who in their right mind is going to do anything to us, people love elites. We are awesome, I mean yeah some of our powers can be scary… but seriously what is the worst that can happen? I mean seriously what is the point of having these powers if we don’t practice them; we are both natural athletes right? It would have been a waste for us not to do something with those god given talents right?”
 

"Who would guess that such a plethora of equipment is needed to capitalize on tidal patterns for low-speed, non-powered nautical movement," Emmet jokes in a louder voice. "Why not just wear a swim suit...or better yet, use a boat?"

Jerry smiled and shrugged, "A boat's not so fun, and you need a wetsuit so you can do it in cold water, or at least a rash guard when it's warm. The wax on the board tends to collect sand, so it's no fun to flop on. Blocks some jellyfish stings too."

"Now for just swimming in warm water," Jerry snagged a rather brief, red swimsuit off the rack, "this is best."
 

Nick, John

"Well, if Yoshi left any doubt, you just erased it, Nick," Layla responds to the three guys, shaking her head, but smiling. "Sorry, Yoshi, the tricks were impressing them, but some of their giggles came from the fact that you thought they didn't understand you." To Nick alone, she adds, "Sorry, I have to peel back a couple mental layers to find that out. I'm not going to do that. They are impressed though, and I think they'd have to be brain dead to not find you cute."

"Nick's right, no big deal. She said don't use your powers if you don't want the attention. That's boring," Yoshi tells John with a shrug. He zips over beside Nick. "Hey, don't hog 'em, dude. I found 'em."

The two girls look surprised, but pleasantly so. The girl that spoke responds. "I am Naeema, she is Saba. How you do that? It is fun?"

A couple other people notice the teens' odd movements. "Did you see that?" can be heard and a few people stop to gawk at the group.


Jerry, Emmet, Cody

Manjit nods at Emmet's assessment. "I don't know how to swim. Not certain I want to learn, neither."

Raph closely examines the red swimsuit in Jerry's hand. "Hmmmm. That's it? Is this one of those places where it's okay for girls to not wear a top in public? Because I do not want that lecture again, right Cody?"

A young man, obviously sales staff, approaches the group. "Can I help you find something?"


Trilly, Clover

Stacy blushes a bit. "Uh, no, think I'll stick to my PJs."

"Putain...ou m'avez-vous envoye, pere?" Josee mutters under her breath. "Okay, then, let us find these jeans."

"I don't know. Some places are, some aren't. This is a guy's suit, though, Jerry looked at the tag, "Bit too big for me.

A young man, obviously sales staff, approaches the group. "Can I help you find something?"

"Sure thing, mate. Are these all the goggles you have?"
 

Trilly, Clover

Stacy blushes a bit. "Uh, no, think I'll stick to my PJs."

"Putain...ou m'avez-vous envoye, pere?" Josee mutters under her breath. "Okay, then, let us find these jeans."

"You guys go ahead, me and Josee will catch up in a minute." the britsh girl tells Trilly and Stacey.

"You do realize your not the only one who speaks French, right? Who were you callling a putain Josee?" Clover asks, her voice is much less open and friendy than it has been. She kept her voice low enough that it wouldn't carry beyond her roommate. "I hope it wasn't Trilly."

Josee rolls her eyes. "I did not call anyone putain, Clover," she says. "Besides, she had better names for herself. Tom boy? That is a girl that acts like a boy, no?" She pauses in thought a moment. "She is...like you, then?"
 

“Hey I am always one for sharing,” Nick gives the girls a squeeze, “pleased to meet both of you.” Nick releases them and walks back to stand next to Layla thinking, Well I am glad that they would have to be brain dead to find me cute… thankfully you are much too smart to fall for these boyish good looks and devilish charms.

Nick glances around, “Nothing like being a celebrity I guess.”
 

Josee rolls her eyes. "I did not call anyone putain, Clover," she says. "Besides, she had better names for herself. Tom boy? That is a girl that acts like a boy, no?" She pauses in thought a moment. "She is...like you, then?"

Clover peers at her roommate intently for a moment and then she shrugs and nods deciding to let it go. "Fine. Yes, a tom boy is a girl that acts like a boy. She isn't big on fashion, going mostly for jeans and sweats and stuff. Hangs out mostly with boys and doesn't do girly stuff like shopping if she can avoid it. Thats me pretty much." she told Josee.

When the French girl asks about Trilly, Clover isn't quite sure how to answer, it was Trilly's business really, but if she got to date Trilly Josee would definitely know anyway. Besides all of that Clover knew she was a bad liar, and when she got caught in the lie it would just be really bad to lie to your roommate. "Tom boy does not mean that a girl likes girls, it doesn't really have anything to do with who you like. She is like me except for the fact that she's super hot. I like girls and boys, she only likes girls."
 

Nick smirks, “Man relax, she just said try… what are these girls going to do, kill us? Who in their right mind is going to do anything to us, people love elites. We are awesome, I mean yeah some of our powers can be scary… but seriously what is the worst that can happen?

"There's a difference between practicing your talents and flaunting them but I guess your right, there is no real harm in it." John replies with a shrug but he glances around and takes a small step away from where Nick and Yoshi are causing a scene.

Nick glances around, “Nothing like being a celebrity I guess.”

"Thanks, but I will pass, if you don't mind." John comments with a frown. "Not all of us want to be a celebrity."
