New Generation Legacy, Issue 1: Back to School

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.

"Hell yes," Jerry readily agreed. "Shame about the surfing, though. I've got to work on her some."

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

"You and me both. Let's go."

..and considering my limited post time, hanging with the NPCs is probably a better idea than starting up a new conversation.

Cody & Emmet:

Manjit's eyes widen at Emmet's description of his device. "A universal interface? With anything? That's incredible..." She stares at the device until realizing she's staring, abruptly looking away.

"Wow, so it can turn on any TV or stereo? I want one of those," Raph says.

The science and technology department is in the south wing of the institute, not very far from where you entered. You hear people speaking from one of the labs. Looking in, two people are conversing while looking over the room. One is a shorter, thin-haired white male. The other, Emmet, Cody and Manjit recognize as Dr. Petrova Stokov, member of Justice Elite.

"Hello," Dr. Stokov says with a smile. "Investigating the new school, are we?"

"I admit, I am not good swimmer before powers," Kiyana says, as the group makes their way to the school. "But I learned quick with them, yes?"

"I like to swim. But I've only been in pools. But you were in the ocean," James says to Jerry. "What's that like? What's the biggest wave you surfed on? You ever see any sharks? What about dolphins? Dolphins are cool."

"I admit, I am not good swimmer before powers," Kiyana says, as the group makes their way to the school. "But I learned quick with them, yes?"

"I bet," Jerry smiled, "I grew up in the water and on the beach. My parents got me swimming with a club a few years ago."

"I like to swim. But I've only been in pools. But you were in the ocean," James says to Jerry. "What's that like? What's the biggest wave you surfed on? You ever see any sharks? What about dolphins? Dolphins are cool."

"The ocean's like... You get out in it and there's no you anymore. You're just like, a part of it. It's a spiritual thing. Changes your life," Jerry averred, reverent. "It's so huge and you're just, nothing. In a good way. It's being part of something bigger than yourself and none of your problems seem so important anymore. Best part is when you have to go, a little piece of it kind of stays inside."

Jerry paused for a moment in his limited profundity, but surfing quickly pulled him out of it. "I surfed a forty footer once or twice, but I almost broke my neck on the second one. That's pro range," Jerry smiled at the memory. "I got lucky with sharks. There's been some attacks on my beaches but I never saw one up close except in a tank. Not really their fault a surfer looks like food, but I like my insides on the inside. Actually swam with dolphins, though. There's a cove they like about forty k south of Sydney. Friendly guys, used to people."

John was not having a good day, not only were his plane(s) delayed, which made him late for his first day of school, the school outfit (who wears school outfits anyways) they gave him was a size too small.

He was now presently about half way around the world from his home town, the same town that until today he had never been more then 50 miles away from.

"This aint right." He mutters to himself quietly, he had never seen this many different regional people before and quite frankly he was in way over his head and he was uncertain of what to do, so he stood in the back clutching his football, one of the few things his paw allowed him to keep (did they even play football here?)

John leans against a palm tree and silently watches as the others mingle, and go off in different directions. He notices that he is probably the tallest student here, elite powers not included of course, whether that is a good thing or not is difficult to say. Guess there was only one way to find out...

With a final spin of his football he approaches the closest group of mostly caucasion students. "Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today," was something that he firmly believed in.

"Howdy," he says firmly tipping his cowboy hat to the small group. "Name's John."

"Err...Wow." Clover says, looking surprised at the voice that sounded in her head, she glances between the three girls, finally settling on Layla. "Right, you'd be a telepath then? Like the accent, you a limey than too?"

"Right, yea, I'm Clover Hughes of Dinorben, England. Its near the channel, if you haven't heard of it, down in the South, but thats just the family estate, we live most of the year in London in our townhouse there." the red head says in answer to the question about her accent.

At the question about Yoshi she just shrugs. "Only just met him, haven't I? Can't tell to much, but Yoshi does seem to act before he thinks, not really malicious as such, just moves too fast for his own good I think. I'll tell you the same thing I told Kiyana though when she said he was a jerk to her, if he bothers you let me know, and I'll give his dangly bits frostbite for you." the tall athletically built red-head told the other 3 girls.

"Hi there big fella, aint been skipping your bangers and mash from the look of you. My names Clover, Clover Hughes. Nice to meet you John." Clover says, with a smile up at John, it was a rather odd feeling for her to have to look up to look someone in the face being fairly tall for a girl.

"These are...help me if I get it wrong. Trilly, Stacy, and Layla."

OOC: I believe exxcept for Layla we are all caucasion so we'd probably be on of the lighter skinned groups if thats what John was shooting for.

 

[Mimic]

"I don't recking I know what bangers and mash is Ms. Clover," He says with a grin. "But if its anything like steak and taters, I have been known to have a couple of extra helpins." He chuckles as he pats his stomach.

"Ms. Trilly, Ms.Stacy, ms. Layla. Tis a pleasure to meet you all." He says to the other ladies tipping his hat to each.

 

[KaintheSeeker]

"Just Trilly, I'm no Ms yet." Trilly says as she adjusts her Wolfpack tshirt again as she looks over John. Midwestern or at least further west than her. She glances back to Clover. "I got the low down on Layla and Stacy's power, what's yours?" She asks with a grin as she flexes her arm, doing a 'wave' up and down that isn't possible to a normal person due to joints and bones.

 

[Hammerhead]

"Not quite everything, but it certainly handle more than devices than just televisions and radios. I have a few more ideas for inventions, but I lack sufficient materials and tools to adequately construct them."

"Um, wow," Emmet replies, clearly flustered. "Doctor Stockov. You're like my role model. It's an honor. We, um, wanted to check out the workshop or science center or something. I have powers like you," he explains lamely.

I am blowing it. I am currently meeting one of, if not the, smartest person in the world, and I am acting like a total fool. I can still salvage this, I hope.

 

[Shalimar]

"Reckon limey slang is a bit outside your experience then. Bangers and mash is sausage and uh tatters I guess. I think you guys eat 'em for breke on your side of the pond."

"You probably saw my powers on the telly, they've been playing the bloody video of my break out all week. I can control the weather. I'm not any great shakes with it yet, but it has only been a week."

"She means Big Jim an the Twins." Trilly clarifies before looking back to Clover. She blinked at the red head's explanation as she looks the smaller woman over, shaking her head with a grin. "I heard a little bit about it, but I've been kind of busy trying to clear up my passport issues then. Along with a few legal ones. Turns out when you can triple your first size they tend to look on it as 'assault with a deadly' even when it's self defense."
