Super Hero High: Prometheus Rising (IC, Open)

[Altruistic Paladins]

Bramwell and Makoto

"Uh, did you just put a villain in the hero common room sir?" Bramwell asked with a look of surprise.

"You can see Mina's mind is at least present in the heroes' common room. I guess the only question is how long it will be before other heroes kick her out before she attempts to sabotage something out of spite or some odd plan to take over a city or some other small location." Makoto said sarcastically.

"'Of course!'" Bramwell said in a melodramatic fashion.

"If her location changes from 'Hero Common Room' to 'Hero Dormotories Hallway Male/Female' or whatever simplification of her location I am making, remind me to send furniture to funnel her out." Makoto thought with a sarcastic joy. The two had known of her intent to kill Joaquin from when Bramwell read her mind during the cafeteria incident, but were not taking her as a serious threat. From what they could understand, she was intelligent, but lacking in common sense or emotional maturity.

[Imperial--japan]

"Woah.....huh....". Mina was a bit dumbfounded for a moment, but it seemed she was in the hero common room. "I might have to speed up my plan here". Mina looked around momentarily for her bag. Then she realized her stuff was still in class. For Mina there wouldn't be planting any cellphone bombs today. The hero commons room would remain unscathed for now, but it was a perfect opportunity to gather information on the hero's of the school. However she was still unbeknownst to others ability to read minds. "As long as I'm seen as a clutzy villain and inferior threat....I can move around alot more easily...". She said quietly. For now the only way she would remain unnoticed was to put on a persona, which shouldn't be hard considering most people did not know her.

Mina moved around looking at her map of the school. For now she could be the lonely shy girl, which could be a great asset. When she memorized the locations she made her way towards the hero male dorm's. The people she were interested in were a top priority for now.

[Altruistic Paladins]

Bramwell and Makoto

"She is headed for the guys' dormotories. She is literally regretting not having her bags because she would have planted cell phone explosives in the heroes' commons. Makoto, did I mention that I liked Poltergeist."

"Yes, not that it really matters when we are coordinating at all times." The duo were not saying this out loud, but over their telepathic connection. Bramwell, yet again, was not digging deeper into her mind. He didn't bother to go try to find her shadow to see what secrets she was holding back from everybody, for he was too focused on enjoying the thoughts of running a horror movie on an unknowing victim. Seeing everything she was seeing, Bramwell and Makoto's telepathic link made it easy to direct the furniture's actions. Just to mess with her, they intended to have some of the furniture move behind her back and maybe have a jump-scare make her turn back so she would see the hints that things were moving. If she tried to enter a room, the duo would start sending the furniture to chase her out of the room. Bramwell's telepathic link with Makoto meant she would also be watching from her perspective.

[Imperial--japan]

"This looks like a good place to start". She said quietly. It was Bramwell and Makato's dorm. With luck Mina could obtain some useful information, and maybe even scan a computer while she's at it. However getting in was the challenge. Mina reached into her pocket, and pulled out a hair pin. She grinned a bit, and slid the pin into the door. Making sure nobody was around. Whats wrong with you Mina.....you could of been so much more.... As son as that thought came to her head she shook it. "That was strange...". She whispered to herself.

[Altruistic Paladins]

Bramwell and Makoto

Bramwell and Makato were thinking the exact same thought in response to that. The duo was now worried about what could be. From what they understood, the shadow is only met in dreams or whenever the duo did a journey to the center of the mind, so it probably was not that. The animus was also that way. He was now legitemately worried about what could happen. There was a lingering thought in the back of their heads about how interesting it could be if the shadows could act in ways similar to those belonging to one of their favorite RPGs, but Bramwell and Makoto could make their shadow exist in the real world to force people to get over whatever psychological problems they may have by accepting that they have problems, which would open up opportunities for self-discovery and "character development", or denying and furthering their psychological issues should they not accept it after a boss battle before a persona is gained and the shadow is forced back into the head. The duo would have loved it if Bramwell's telepathy went that far.

"Makoto, we now know that she does not have the best sense of d'; what was my line of thought? It must be a retcon of a mistake." Bramwell thought in an odd bit of confusion.

"It is common courtesy to respect that it was a mistake of the writer, so a person edited things to keep the canon firing on all four cylnders if you will excuse my horrendous homophone." Makoto thought.

"That writer seems to be unaware that we have two different dorms due to gender segregation of dormotories."

"As with all things, a person shall edit this out once the edit has been made, with only a fourth wall observation of it happening. With that out of the way, let me end this fourth-wall breaking so I can do something to get her out of there." As Mina was trying to slip a bobby-pin into the door, Makato forced the bobby-pin out at 100 miles per hour in a manner that would resemble that of the urban legends of car-jackers that accidentally activate the airbags, though Makoto was purposefully only sending it at enough speed to make it less-than-lethal but still dangerous enough that it would require proper medical attention so it would be very clear that she attempted to break into a room by the position of the bobby pin itself, though it would probably be explained away as a make-shift security system. If Mina attempted it again, Makoto would pull Mina by the collar until she was out of the hero room while Bramwell messed with her eyes and ears so she'd think a particularly large hero was dragging her out.

[Nakarisaune]

Well, this was beginning to sound slightly more interesting. 'Going into another plane?' It sounded like it could potentially be lethal. Especially if the teacher 'accidentally' forgot to bring them back. Rachael hoped that distracting him for a while would be enough. And if it worked, and they got stuck there, they couldn't pin the blame on her. Hopefully, it would work, and two more annoying people would be gone.

[Reythan]

"Well, looks like we need another volunteer as Bramwell has something more important to do." said Axel as he stood up out of his chair. "So, who wants to come up? Or will I have to choose someone?" he said, standing in front of the class, his hands behind his back, slowly surveying the classroom.

[Nakarisaune]

Rachael considered volunteering, but she'd rather not. It seemed like a risky thing, especially, if she was going to try and distract him so they would die. Who else didn't she like? Ah, of course. Chram. Well, if Chram could be part of magic what with being a robot and all. She gestured at the robot, trying to draw attention to it so that the teacher would pick it.

[Altruistic Paladins]

Bramwell and Makoto

"Huh, I just had my mind on other things while waiting. I may begin when you are ready." Bramwell was being entirely truthful with his statement, though he was trying to help Makoto simultaneously. He was ready, for he could also do his telepathic work from anywhere as far as he knew. Makoto hoped to make it painfully clear that Mina was attempting to break in.

[Reythan]

"Sorry, Rachel, but this won't work with Chram, her being a robot and all. Anyway, I need to finish this class, so Bramwell is staying up here. You too, Charlotte. Let's begin." said Axel, as he cracked his knuckles and walked behind the two volunteers. "Prepare yourselves, and don't say I didn't give you the chance to back out if you see something you don't like."
"Entzun niri, barruko begia, eta irekita!" said Axel, and placed his hands on the crown of the volunteer's heads.
Meanwhile...
Bramwell's and Charlotte's vision became a blurry greyish-white haze for a few seconds after Axel finished speaking. The haze began to clear, and they could see things in it. They were blurry humanoid shapes, slowly shifting with muted colors. Each color was different for each person, and they seemed to be sitting at grey desks. It reached them, those were their classmates. They could hear some sounds from the classroom, but they were muffled and somewhat static-y. But one voice broke through. It was Axel's, albeit strangely deepened, and he said "Like the view? Also, reason you can hear me is because I'm still touching you." they looked at him, and were surprised by how much more quicker, more bright he was than the other people in the room. "You've been gazing into the Astral Plane for a minute by now, I'll take you out." and Axel removed his hands from their head. The strange landscape began to shrink and warp, almost like decaying film, and before they really knew it, they were looking back at the normal classroom.
"So, what was it like?"

[Altruistic Paladins]

Bramwell and Makoto

"The fact I maintained a telepathic link with Makoto only made that more surreal. I could tell that sounds were muffled in the fourth dimension, but my telepathic link with Makoto meant I was hearing the sounds of the fourth dimension and the three other dimensions at the same time in addition to seeing what was happening. It does not help that everything that is not currently alive was a different color while everything not-alive was muted, which is reminding me of some types of thermal imaging cameras. The telepathic link being two-way, Makoto saw everything as well. Makoto and I turned into two similar types of blue." Bramwell said. He was speaking in his usual American Broadcast Voice, and was oddly deadpan.

"We have one question that will lead to many others; what exactly makes that the "Astral Plane" beyond everything looking like it was going through odd filters of various types and sound being somewhat muted? From the information at hand, we think this is more like a different way to see the world. 'Signatures of creatures created by their life force' is not really giving me particular insight into why this seems to be just our multiverse with an odd way to see things and a more muffled sound that resembles the time me and Makoto got shell-shock? I could achieve a related effect by putting on thermogram cameras and standing next to a 80mm Smoothbore discharging, even if everybody will have access to the same color pallette. I am sorry, but this is making me think this is useful in a way similar to having a night vision camera is, it's just a different way to see our world, yet I don't hear people saying that looking through a thermal imaging camera is looking into a different plane, or hear about snakes seeing into a different plane than we do because their eyes see thermograms. Yet again, I am sorry, but there are so many questions that we have," Makoto said. The fact the telepathic link held up between the two meant she knew every exact detail of that world and was seeing and hearing it seemed to send her into a deadpan tone. It was impossible to tell through it whether she was frustrated or confused through it, and she did not raise her voice. Even while all of this was going on, the two still managed to monitor Mina's situation.

"And here's the thing, you looked into the Astral Plane. It is possible to fully enter it, and I would like to see you replicate exiting our dimension with a gun and some cameras...in fact, I'll do it now." said Axel, yet again becoming annoyed with these students. With a deep breath, Axel spoke "I sortu ibilbideen bidez, I sartzen!" and simply vanished. He could see the students looking around in confusion, and Axel reached his swirling "hand" toward Bramwell. Suddenly, Bramwell could hear strange whispers, yet when he spun around to find their source, he saw nothing. He heard Axel's voice, saying "Go on, I can yell as loud as I want, only you can hear me.", his voice complimented with a strange echo. Suddenly, a ferocious lion roared no more than 10 feet away from him and pounced! Bramwell fell to the ground as the deadly beast reached for his neck, and just as it appeared, it disappeared. A few seconds later, Axel "blinked" into reality, his face streaming with sweat, which ran down his neck, staining his collar. He stood right above Bramwell, and said to him, his face screwed into an angry scowl "Bramwell Volkovich, do not take me for some conjuror of cheap tricks." and stepped over him to say to the class "Class dismissed. I think Joaquin wants you down the hall."

[Altruistic Paladins]

Bramwell, Makato, Joaquin, and Brayden

The event was so short, he did not even have time to form sweat. The answer to his question only brought up more questions. Somehow, even if he was somehow incapable of screaming, he still could communicate effectively with Makoto. The mere fact everything was so muted in this world had only calmed him, at least until the lion attacked. Maybe he was confident that their teacher was not a vengeful jerk, but he was more shocked by the lion than scared. Maybe it was the fact he had worked with lions in the past, but whatever panic was more due to it being a jump scare than anything else. He was fearful for his life despite the deadpan expression on his face. In the moment of panic, he did something he did not even know he could do. He broadcasted the entire incident to every person on the station alongside a collection crow and wolf. The moment the lion attacked, everybody got to see his memory of the trip there, and got to live the panic of a lion charging at them. It seems Axel may want to try not being so impulsive, for now he has just caused a telepath to broadcast the demonstration to everybody, including his bosses and coworkers, though Bramwell had only broadcasted his sensory information.

The moment he was back in the real world, he collapsed. The moment he left that world, he was in cardiac arrest. Even though Makoto knew everything that happened long before everybody else got to see his time there in it's entirety. The link between the two was still active and something was clear.

"Makoto, I cannot breath. Would you kindly get me help?" Makoto rushed to his side. Falling face down, he hit the floor, now bleeding out of his nose. His fedora fell beside him. Makoto had now telekinetically lifted him so she could bring him to the infirmary while frantically attempting to do the head lift manuver with telekinesis, remembering to bring his fedora out of courtesy. She could not sense him breathing, and Bramwell was happy to point that out. She ran past Joaquin's classroom without realizing. A fraction of a second later, he appeared in front of the two, and then caused them to appear in the infirmary.

"Makoto, I'll have any work you and Bramwell have due later. Doctor Moreau, I think we have something important."

"You arrived just in time. We completed the PET scan. Cassie, we're finished for now. I'll explain what's happening to you later. I'm sorry Sam Spade, but I'll take it from here."

"My name's Makoto, and Branwell's my!"

"Now's not the time for dramatic reveals of what you think of him you may regret later. E.R.T., hook up the E.K.G."

"He is on the E.K.G. already," one E.R.T. said.

"His heart's not beating and he doesn't have a pulse! Get the epinephrine autoinjecters and defibrillator." Makoto and Bramwell were surprised that the neurologist was appearently an emergency room phsyician also. He hooked Bramwell up to an EKG monitor while some cardiac drugs (epinephrine, atropine, and amiodarone), an AED, and oxygen were being hooked up to him. By this point, Makoto was now effectively in the waiting room. Bramwell had not been disconnected from oxygen for more than five minutes, so Bramwell was still communicating with her the entire time.

"Makoto, I know this may be odd, but if I die in that infirmary considering how regeneration is only partially-controlled, I want to go out with a last since a heroic sacrifice or explosion are not options right now. Just let me listen to 'Suicide is Painless' for once," Bramwell thought as he played.

"Bramwell, I'll never understand you, even though I can here all of your thoughts," Makoto was heavily going through confusing emotions.

"I am aware of that. Please do not say you whether you love me in either an Storge, Phileos, or Eros way or if you love me in any way of the "Four Loves". I know I would be dead if you were to do that."

"Okay, how about a good song you like, one that is optimistic," Makoto asked in her thoughts.

"'Alright, don't worry, we'll all float on'."

[Reythan]

Axel stood aside as Bramwell was carted out of the room. He was speechless, as thoughts like "Shit, I'm out of here." "Something like that was never supposed to happen!" and "Well, what now?" coursed through his head. He sat in his chair and said, his voice slightly shaky, "Everyone, out of the room."

[Nakarisaune]

The original demonstration hadn't gone as Rachael had hoped. They hadn't disappeared, and even if they had, Rachael wouldn't have had enough time to distract the teacher. The second was better, especially when the nerdy kid collapsed. The bit where some imaginary wolf had jumped at her seemed quite trippy, though. But it was amusing watching the girlfriend-sister's expressions. When they had gone, Rachael clapped. "Congratulations sir! I think you killed him!"

[Hetland 2]

"Sorry, Rachel, but this won't work with Chram, her being a robot and all."

Chram spat on the ground as she left the room, snarling "Bigoted monkey." to Axel as she left completely furious, her power core forced to stay extended to cool down, it made a loud irritated hiss. This class had started out brilliantly. Lecture and everything. Now those words repeated themselves over and over. She hissed to herself. "I'll show him."

Chram spat on the ground as she left the room, snarling "Bigoted monkey." to Axel as she left completely furious, her power core forced to stay extended to cool down, it made a loud irritated hiss. This class had started out brilliantly. Lecture and everything. Now those words repeated themselves over and over. She hissed to herself. "I'll show him."

Axel was too concerned about almost killing a student on accident and his job, both on the station and in the Council, to explain to Chram that he was not bigoted and why robots cannot preform magic, and to respond to Rachel's outburst. If anything, that made it worse. He waited for the other students to leave, still sitting at his desk and pondering how deep in the metaphorical shit he was.

[Hetland 2]

As Chram left the room her mind turned to a devious plan. Quite simply she would learn magic. She sneered, Cue grade A-1 search of every database possible. keywords. Magic. Arcane. Arcana. Search go. Her power core retracted and she calmly headed towards her next class.

[Firstaria]

Daniel was just passing near the room when he noticed the commotion. Running towards the student, he asked " What in the holy orders is going on here? "

He was actively worried, there were so many bad vibes coming from there....

[Altruistic Paladins]

Bramwell, Makoto, and Joaquin

Joaquin stood outside the emergency room alongside Makato. The cacophony of numerous E.R.T.s and phsyicians going to work to revive this guy they only know from his medical profile. It didn't help that his injuries were the only life-threatening ones on the station, so a large portion of the infirmary was either particapating or helping in some other manner.

"Makoto, tell me what happened," Joaquin asked in a guttural New York accent.

"The teacher got mad at Bramwell, presumably for the number of questions we asked. After the magic teacher said some words, Bramwell vanished. When he re-appeared, he collapsed face first into the floor."

"I got a bloody nose from it. On a slightly less important note, I may die from a lack of breathing." Bramwell thought in an attempt at gallows humor.

"Bramwell can't breath." Makoto was trying to be stoic, but tears were still going comming out. Much like Odysseus or Beowulf, she was crying because she cared and actually had emotions, a trend which stopped being percieved as such until as late as the 19th century. She didn't know why his regeneration was not kicking in to keep him alive. She only fought it back enough to make coherent sentences. The shouting of "Clear!" could be heard in the background of the emergency room. Makoto was having an odd time with Bramwell having "Kickstart My Heart" playing over the scene in an instance he called "Mood Dissonance" in a name dropping to one of their favorite media."The magic teacher knew his last name."

[Nakarisaune]

Rachael left the room only once she was sure that the teacher wouldn't be provoked. She smirked at Chram, who seemed to be hissing in indignation. The Italian teacher ran past, and Rachael scowled at him too, remembering he wouldn't have the memory she'd promised. Oh well. He yelled to ask what was happening, and Rachael was quite happy to answer. "That freak magic teacher hypnotized someone. And now they're probably dead!"

[Mighty Asgard]

A few minutes after the incident Jenkins walked into Anzus' classroom, taking a moment to look around before approaching the teacher. "Mr. Anzus," he began, "headmaster Anderson wants to speak with you. It seemed urgent."

Having delivered his first message he then approached Grace, who he spotted at the other end of the room. "Miss Oliviz, I have good news," he said, a hint of a smile finding its way across his face, "I've spoken with the headmaster, and from tomorrow you will have full access to the hangar bays, and if you want you can help the tech department with their search. The headmaster has also granted you a more long-term privilege to access the hangars, so as long as you follow the rules you can go to your shuttle whenever you want."

[Firstaria]

Rachael left the room only once she was sure that the teacher wouldn't be provoked. She smirked at Chram, who seemed to be hissing in indignation. The Italian teacher ran past, and Rachael scowled at him too, remembering he wouldn't have the memory she'd promised. Oh well. He yelled to ask what was happening, and Rachael was quite happy to answer. "That freak magic teacher hypnotized someone. And now they're probably dead!"

Daniel's face was white at his best " WHAT??? THERE ARE WOUNDED??? WHERE??? ". He was hearing the call of the hero in his soul, ready to help people. He may not have curative abilities, but his thunder was a good defibrillator to begin with, and he learned some tricks in the COM.SUB.IN. and the Vampire wars.

[Rupudska]

Mel thought about leaving right after Chram, but decided better of it. Best to stay away from the angry, villainous (And possibly unstable) robot. However, when Daniel walked in, she took it as her cue to leave, before things got complex. She didn't need to get caught up in something that had little to do with her. So, she left, carefully stepping around Bramwell and Makato.

[Hetland 2]

Chram stood in the Science classroom and stared at her surroundings. They were just as she suspected. Plain. Fitting for humans. She shrugged and took her seat. "Hopefully this will be a good solid enjoyable lecture class. Demonstrations only lead to bad things. For humans anyways." She chuckled mildly.
