New Generation Legacy, Issue 1: Back to School

[Agamon]

Emmet & Cody:

"Hmmm, classes, I dunno, sounds dull. Oh, but the power training ones sound like fun! I'm in for those! An angel needs to flex her wings, right?" Raph says, grinning brightly.

"You want to explore the school?" Manjit asks. She looks as though she's making a difficult decision before asking, "May I join you?"

"Yeah, lets see what makes this place so special, hey Cody?" Raph says.


Trilly:

"Yeah, you girls go ahead and mingle, I see I have work to do," Jun Min says, glancing over at the only student still sitting, by herself, arms crossed. The few others that have ventured near have retreated from the scowl the young woman gives them. Jun Min walks over to sit with the girl, ignoring the scowl.

"Oohh, look girls, three of us, three of them..." Stacy says, pointing to a group of three boys conversing on the other side of the courtyard. One is the practical joker Japanese boy. The other is a large teen, also Asian. The third is a slim black teen. "Whatcha think? They're all pretty cute..." Layla rolls her eyes at Stacy's comments, but looks towards the boys regardless.


Jerry & Clover:

"I would learn this surfing some day, if you help?" Kiyana says to Jerry.

"Yeah, sounds like fun! Sucks there's no beach here. Think the Red Sea has any surfing? Ooh, we could go to the Mediteranean during a break! That would be awesome!" James states with gusto.

"I guess we can." Trilly says as she follows the other girls over to the three boys. She wasn't sure that she wanted to get up close with the speedster kid, he seemed set to prank folks


"Watch out when you're sitting down, Speedy there is a joker"

 

[Samnell]

"I would learn this surfing some day, if you help?" Kiyana says to Jerry.

"You got it, mate," Jerry assented.

"You were in the hospital? That's unfortunate. Were you there to treat some illness, or was your presence associated with your Elite breakout? I've heard that Elite breakouts often involve some sort of traumatic incident; mine merely manifested through half-realized mechanical designs and persistent headaches." Emmet taps the strange metallic rod the size of a small flashlight hanging on his belt at his mention of mechanical designs.

"Of course you're invited Manjit. And not to sound arrogant, but I think we're the ones who are going to make this place special. We're going to have incredible lives ahead of us." Emmet, after making sure the others are accompanying him, heads to start touring the academic facilities.

"By the way, do you know if we're going to be sorted by grade? In the United States, I would be a Junior...just old enough to start looking forward to college."

Cody shudders a little in recalling, "Bad, bad car accident. Drunk driver I think, but it was a hit-and-run. I survived but was pretty messed up, I could move my head around and that was pretty much it. It was as you can maybe imagine, really crappy and I wasn't really sure what I was going to do..."

Looking at Raph and giving her a faint smile, he continues, "I met Raph a couple days after I had finally woken up and realized that she had healed me to the point where I was able to move some. It took about a month to get fully healed but I've never felt better." He smiles a little wider, "Nowadays, I bet Raph could probably fully heal someone like that in maybe a week. She was just new to it then and didn't know how to use her abilities. I think the Power Training class will be good for her."

Cody follows Manjit and Emmet towards the school building, looking up at the sight of it with great interest. "Emmet, I like your optimism about this place. I don't know about the grade-system but I'd also be a Junior. Do you think age even correlates with how well we can use our powers? I figure that learning to use our abilities is more important than your average highschool experience, if anything we should all be taking Ethics classes over English or Mathematics."

"Hey, what's that invention of yours do, anyways?"

 

[Shalimar]

"You wont catch me on a surf board, I'd be all arse over tiit if I tried it." Clover added self-deprecatingly into the midst of Jame's and Kiyana's wishes to learn to surf.

"I think I want to try and meet some of the other students, and maybe the teachers. You guys are more than welcome to tag on if you have the desire." Clover said politely before waving, "It was nice to meet all of you, We'll likely be in the same classes, so we're bound to know each other like we know our own backsides before too long. Ta!" the red head says with a grin, excusing herself to move on to another of the groups that was forming.

With only 36 of us here, theres no reason we can't all get on like a house on fire, Clover thought as she looked around a the different crowds that were forming up, trying to decide which one to join. She settles on a group of girls who are checking out Yoshi and the guys he is with. Clover approaches the group that included the girl who had stretched way out and gained almost a foot. Girl really is a bit of all right.

"Hullo, I'm Clover. Nice ta meet ya." she says to the trio of girls, her eyes sparkling as she smiles brightly.

Jerry:

"Da svidaniya," Kiyana says as Clover leaves. "She is nice girl, yes?"

"She fights with swords, what's not awesome about that?" James replies with a grin.

"Maybe we go find pool, yes? I am thinking I would spend much time there," Kiyana suggests.

Clover & Trilly:

"Omigod, that accent is so cute, you're, like, British, right?" Stacy says, her attention momentarily drawn away from the boys. "Awesome. I'm Stacy. This is Trilly and Layla."

"Pleased to meet you, Clover," Layla mentally projects, the voice sounding like proper English to Clover.

Cody & Emmet:

"I don't believe we will be split by grade, as such," Manjit says, speaking quietly, but beginning to sound a bit more confident. Her accent is partially Hindu, but heavily British, as well. "As I understand, we will be divided more towards ability, with a great deal of one-on-one with regards to regular education. Ability training will tend to be larger classes, as there are less available teachers for the subject. And I believe Ethics is part of the curriculum."

Her voice catches a bit as she realizes she's been blathering. "Um...I think. I spoke with Dr. Hudabo...before coming here." Her voice trails off.

Raph sticks close to Cody as the group makes their way inside the facility. "Yeah, he was in really rough shape. I wish I'd have shown up sooner, maybe I could have prevented it...or at least kicked the driver's ass!"

FYI: everyone has been assigned a dorm room and will have one roommate, the boys and girls dorms are located on opposite sides of the institute

 

[Hammerhead]

"Damn, that's horrible. Still, it's good that you showed up at all, Raph. Did they ever find the guy who did it, " Emmet queries.

"Oh, this thing," he asks, glancing down once more. "It's a microwave emitter that allows me to tap into computers and other electrical systems; through a rather arcane interface it's essentially a universal remote control." Emmet frowns after this for a moment, biting his lip. I don't really want to tell him that it could also be used as a dangerous weapon. That was not my intent in making it, but I suppose it does tend to put me on equal footing with many of the students here. Still, it's my responsibility to make sure that a potentially deadly weapon that I created does not fall into the wrong hands.

"Thanks for the information, Manjit. You learned a lot from Doctor Hudabo. I suppose that I spent too much of my time attempting to impress him," Emmet admits with an embarrassed look. "I wonder what the power training will be like? With luck, I can leverage that class time for designing and building inventions."

"Which facility do we want to investigate first," he asks the others.

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

"They didn't. I was furious at first but when Raph came along I was just happy to be healthy again." Taking a few seconds to exhale and push the memory away, Cody switches gears "Cool invention, it sounds pretty useful. If you're so interested in designing stuff, lets start by looking around for some sort of workshop or science center."

Going through the information packet he got from his orientation, Cody tries to locate what the group's looking for and leads the way.

 

[KaintheSeeker]

"Trilly Gardener, of Erwin North Carolina. Nice to meet you." Trilly's accent clearly labels her as a southerner from the US. She looked over at the boys they were approaching. "You were talking with Speedy there earlier, what his he like? I saw his little chair trick but the girls here figured we need to introduce ourselves."
