New Generation Legacy, Issue 1: Back to School

[Shalimar]

"I haven't found anyone that has leapt out and grabbed my eye." Trilly says smoothly to Clover's comment about her abilities. Not for lack of trying, she thought to herself scanning over the student body, but she wasn't in the mood to advertise till she knew the climate.

"So, Speedy and company need to be avoided huh?"

"I wouldn't say Yoshi has to be avoided. I think he can probably be a pretty good mate to have, you just need to stand up for yerself if he does something you don't like. Same with everyone else I reckon, I know people think I can be a mite too assertive. I think he could definitely be fun to be around if you don't mind smacking him upside the head when he's being a bit daft. As to the others...no idea, haven't met any of them yet." Clover replies, not quite understanding the earlier comment, but she figured the girl'd explain it if she was of a mind to.

John doesn't respond to Tilly's story he frowns a little.

She changes her focus to John, giving him the once over. "Hey there, cowboy. What state you from?" She looks at what he's holding. "Whatcha got there, a football? I kinda doubt you're gonna get a game of that going out here." She looks at the two non-Americans. "You guys, like, play soccer or something, right?"

"The great state of Kansas." He replies giving her a big smile. "Yea, I reckin your right but I used to play some football back home and its a nice reminder to have." He adds giving the ball a spin in his hands. "Besides, I might be able to get a scrub game goin."

"I'm thinking that since its what almost all of us students are talking about its pretty much a balls up that they didn't put our powers on our name tags. I'm thinking that your able to get all stretchy and bendy which could be utterly fascinating with the right company. And I think Layla is a telepath, but how about you Stacy? And you John?"

"Its kind of hard to explain, as I don't really know what it is myself. The doc that checked me out said that I absorb any energy coming at me and convert it to strength for a while." He replies with a shrug, clearly a little uncomfortable discussing his elite powers

"Well, it's no weather control, but I can, like, move through stuff like it's not there. The thing is, though, if I, like, move through something electronic, it totally wrecks it. And, uh, people, too. I gotta be careful about that or I could put someone into shock..." Stacy says, the inflection of her voice inferring that something like that has happened before.

"I'm sure you didn't mean to do anything wrong Ms. Stacy" John replies trying to give her a comforting look

 

[Shalimar]

"What kind of energy do you absorb? Do you absorb electricity? Or maybe physical energy...uh kinetic energy I think its called? And just how strong do you get? It'd be dead useful to be super strong sometimes. Like when my sister drags me to the mall to be her shopping trolley." Clover says with a grin at the big teen.

"Is everyone in your family as tall as you or is it part of your powers mate? Cause Fee Fi Fo Fum." the british girl jokes.

"I like Volleyball myself. But I got the last wolfpack game recorded if you're missing college ball." Trilly says piping up. "My uncle promised to send me all their games in football and basket ball."

"This place definitely looks very nice. I'm a little in awe, honestly. It'll take a while for it all to settle in." Cody responds, feeling a little out of his element. He takes a step back to let Emmet talk to the doctor easier and then breathes a sigh of relief when he sees Raph's (practically "the Angel of Curiosity") hands tucked behind her back.

She's come a long way in these last couple of months. Cody thinks, proudly.

Emmet & Cody:

Dr. Stockov smiles. "I've been developing an artificial intelligence over the past few months. I've installed a complete, working system that I developed early in the process. It isn't a fully functional A.I., meaning its capacity to learn is quite limited, but it is fully operational and will meet the needs of the school readily. I call it an Artificially Intelligent Monitoring, Messaging and Information system, Amy, for short. Amy?"

"Yes, Dr. Stockov." The voice has a soft, female pitch, but is monotone.

"Say hello to the new students."

"Welcome to the Mudaba Adin Institute for Young Elites. I look forward to assisting you as your needs require," Amy responds.

"Of course, it doesn't really look forward to anything. I've programmed it to be friendly, however. It monitors the school and grounds, can locate individuals on institute property and message them for you, and can supply information such as the time, temperature or what movies are playing at the local theater. It will also open doors you are allowed to enter or turn on and off lights. The entire institute is integrated together under one system," Dr. Stockov explains.

"It's really quite amazing," Prof. Lankowski states.

"Hey, Cody, what does this thing do?" Raph asks as she walks back to him, holding a microscope from one of the terminals.

"How did you remove that from the terminal, young lady?" the professor asks her.

"Huh? Oh, I unplugged it." Looking at it, one can see that the cord has been forcibly ripped form the back of the device. "What?" she asks, responding to the resulting looks.


John, Clover & Trilly

"Big and strong," Stacy notes, nodding approvingly at John. "And no, it was an accident, but I was so totally bummed for a while, I hurt my best friend pretty bad. She's okay now, though. Huh, I really kinda doubt there's gonna be any, y'know, organized sports here. So much for my cheerleading skills," she notes with a shrug.

Layla stays quiet, listening to the conversation, in her own way.


Jerry

"The water looks, how do you say...inviting, yes?" Kiyana notes, still looking at the pool. "I am thinking maybe we are not to use yet?"

"I dunno," James says. "Not like I'm dressed to go swimming anyway."

"This is problem not for me," Kiyana replies with a bit of a mischievous smile. She glances back at the doors before her entire body splashes to the tiled floor as an amorphous puddle of water. The water then leaps, streaming into the pool and begins tearing around in it until your not really sure what is Kiyana and what isn't.

James' eyes grow wide in surprise. He looks at the pool, looks back at the pile of clothes that Kiyana was just wearing and back out at the pool. "Uh...is she skinny dipping in the school pool?"

"What kind of energy do you absorb? Do you absorb electricity? Or maybe physical energy...uh kinetic energy I think its called? And just how strong do you get? It'd be dead useful to be super strong sometimes. Like when my sister drags me to the mall to be her shopping trolley." Clover says with a grin at the big teen.

"Is everyone in your family as tall as you or is it part of your powers mate? Cause Fee Fi Fo Fum." the british girl jokes.

"Both as far as I can tell, I don't know exactly how strong I get but its pretty strong." He replies smiling back

"I got a couple of brothers taller than me but not by much, although I could ask you the same, your pretty tall for a girl. Quite pretty too, if you can forgive me for being forward."

 

[Samnell]

Jerry

"The water looks, how do you say...inviting, yes?" Kiyana notes, still looking at the pool. "I am thinking maybe we are not to use yet?"

Jerry shrugged.

"I dunno," James says. "Not like I'm dressed to go swimming anyway."

"Should be some bathers in our school kit."

"This is problem not for me," Kiyana replies with a bit of a mischievous smile. She glances back at the doors before her entire body splashes to the tiled floor as an amorphous puddle of water. The water then leaps, streaming into the pool and begins tearing around in it until your not really sure what is Kiyana and what isn't.

"All right!" Jerry watched with delight. "There's a fair go."

James' eyes grow wide in surprise. He looks at the pool, looks back at the pile of clothes that Kiyana was just wearing and back out at the pool. "Uh...is she skinny dipping in the school pool?"

Jerry pulled his shirt over his head and tossed it on the ground, kicking off his shoes next and starting at his belt.

"I think that's what it's called," he answered as he shucked his pants. "And damned if I'm letting a girl that didn't swim before a few weeks ago break in the pool without expert help," Jerry dropped his pants on top of his shoes and came down to underwear that may as well have been a swimsuit to begin with.

"Always prepared!" he smirked and his shadow swallowed him. Jerry reappeared five feet in the air above the deep end and plunged in with a massive splash.

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

"I'd say she doesn't know any better but...Raph, you should know better!" Cody says sternly, angry but doing a very good job at keeping it in check, "I'm really, really sorry. She doesn't look it but she's really strong, she probably didn't rip it out so much as it...gave way..." Cody tries to believe the sound of his own voice, but he can’t quite do it, "…Um, how expensive was it exactly? he finishes, trying to remember how much of his father's check he had left in his bank account.

"Raph, time out for at least 10 minutes." Cody says, gently taking the microscope away from her. He closes his eyes for a second, concentrates, and dismisses her.

"Both as far as I can tell, I don't know exactly how strong I get but its pretty strong." He replies smiling back

"I got a couple of brothers taller than me but not by much, although I could ask you the same, your pretty tall for a girl. Quite pretty too, if you can forgive me for being forward."

Clover cocks her head to the side and looks at John like he said something weird. "I'm pretty for a girl? Are girls not normally pretty to you? Get on more with the fellas then?" Clover asks curiously, misunderstanding the comment, her voice was quite soft as she spoke, and reassuring as if to say she made no judgements on it.

"Thank you for the compliment, most guys are more into my sister though, most of the time I'm just one of the guys who happens to fill out a shirt a bit more."
