Super Hero High: Prometheus Rising (IC, Open)

[Mighty Asgard]

"Damn" Caitlin said breathlessly when she reached the other side of the pool and heard what Tyler said. "I was so close, too" She said, looking disappointed in an overly exaggerated way. She felt pretty breathless, too, but maybe not as much as he was. "I agree. I'm not a strong enough swimmer to do that repeatedly without making myself pass out and drown in the swimming pool. I'm pretty sure none of us want that" She said, smiling slightly.

"Nice of you to join us, Wilson!" Caitlin shouted over to him from across the pool. "Now I think it is time we actually start doing the main reason we came to the pool, instead of screwing around. Which was to play ball or something, right?" She said to Tyler, lowering her voice again.

Tyler laughed as well as he was able at Caitlin's joke about drowning. Swimming fast was a lot more tiring than he had thought it would be, he hadn't expected at all that he would feel so out of breath after one short little race. When she shouted across the room he looked over to where she was shouting at and saw that Wilson had indeed arrived at the pool. It took him a few moments to remember if they had actually made any plans beyond screwing around in the pool when she then turned back to him to ask him about their plans. He vaguely recalled that Wilson had wanted them to help him train by throwing things at him or something like that, which actually struck him as something that might be fun and not leave you feeling like you had run a marathon.

"Didn't Wilson want us to throw balls at him or something? To train, I guess," he responded to her question. "I think that was what we decided anyway. In this case I wouldn't take my usually very trustworthy word for it though, we should probably check with the others before we just starting throwing balls at people."

[Corrian]

Caitlin gave a shrug. "I think I forgot our reasoning to be here in my excitement and swimming across the pool" She joked, though she wasn't entirely sure that wasn't true, seeing as she really didn't remember the exact plans of what they were at the pool for. At least she wasn't the only one. She gave a laugh to what Tyler said, though. "You sure about that? Throwing balls at them might be entertaining" She said, keeping her voice low. She started to grin mischievously, and now it appeared that it involved her being a little mischievous brat to others instead of trying to break into restricted parts of schools.

Cassie
Cassie gave a nod to Makoto to what she said. "Blue, probably. I like blue" She said to her, smiling faintly. Which probably wasn't very hard to believe at all, seeing as she was wearing blue denim jeans and a blue denim jacket. She watched Makoto slip into the pool, and then her gaze just wandered off elsewhere for the time being, not really appearing to be focused on anywhere in particular.

She started to grin mischievously, and now it appeared that it involved her being a little mischievous brat to others instead of trying to break into restricted parts of schools.

Tyler found Caitlin's suggestion amusing, and he might even have agreed with her idea to sneakily attack the others with balls, but it was a rather moot point because they had no balls to throw.

"It would probably be fun," he conceded, "but I don't have a ball to throw at them, and I feel fairly confident in my assumption that you don't have one on you either. So I think we'll have to settle for throwing things at people who are willing targets, unfortunately." His disappointment at the last statement was clearly fake. Now that he had had a chance to take a breather and recover a bit after the race he was starting to feel like himself again, rather than the wheezing octogenarian he seemed to have traded lungs with for a little while. It seemed like a good time to head over to the others and get organized.

"So when you're done resting, let's head over to the others. No rush though," he teased, "I know you're probably more tired than me, seeing as how I'm such a great swimmer."

[Corrian]

Caitlin gave a look of disappointment at what Tyler said, but it was obviously overly exaggerated. "I don't think we could go and sneak and get one, either" She added. She looked around, and nope, sneaking to go get one looked pretty impossible, so she resorted to just sticking with what they had.

Caitlin playfully rolled her eyes at Tyler and shoved him playfully, then splashed him in the face and swam away from him towards the others with no problem, making as big of a splash out of the swimming to the others as possible to make it hard for Tyler to follow her without getting a bunch of water in his face.

Tyler was caught off guard by Caitlin's shove, which put him off balance enough to stop him from protecting his face from the following splash of water. Some of it got in his eyes and he blinked a few times to try to clear it out while she swam away. When his eyes felt good again he started leisurely swimming after her, content to stay far enough back to avoid the water she was kicking up. Soon enough he had joined her and the others on the other side of the pool, deciding to let her splashing go unanswered to prevent an escalation of hostilities from getting in the way of their plans.

"So, we did make some plan for something more than just floating around in the pool, didn't we?" he asked.

[Corrian]

Caitlin gave a grin when he came back over to her, and from the looks of it, just recently had water in his eyes from her splashing. This made her rather satisfied, since she had been acting like a brat so it kinda fit. "You look like you got pool water in your eyes, Tyler. Might want to avoid that" She joked, her grin turning into a smirk. She then turned her head to the others and waited for them to say something.

[Orinon]

Josh turned away from his conversation with Abigale as Tyler and Caitlyn swam towards them.
"So we doing something now?" he asked. Abigale, meanwhile, continued talking.
"I was merely wondering if you knew the nature of your powers, brother," she asked. Sighing, Josh turned back to Abigale.
"No, I don't alright? This is something you should be asking uncle Jake, not me. And why do you care, anyway?" Josh added, giving Abigale a quizzical look. Abigale shrugged and traced her scar in a way that made Josh wonder if she was embarrassed.
"My abilities are... Woefully weak compared to yours, Goltias and Magentas," she said. Josh shrugged.
"You do realize that Dad makes us all look weak, right?" he said.
"Being able to twist the laws of physics around your little finger does that," Abigale deadpanned. Josh chuckled, then turned back to Tyler and Caitlyn. Abigale, meanwhile, turned her gaze to the pair as well.
"And you two? What can you two do?" she asked bluntly.

Goltia

Markus gave Goltia a look, which withered her where she stood.
"Actually, that's meant to be one of the biggest secrets on this station. Our true nature has the potential completely change your world. And what would happen if someone... Less then tactful, got their hands on a piece of our people's technology? No offence, but your rock in the stars is a backwards dump compared to our home world," Markus said. Goltia shot Thomas a silent, pleading look, before speaking.
"Although, they seem to be doing better then us after their war," Goltia said. Markus grunted.
"That's what happens when the greatest leader in your history gets shot in the face with a round designed to take out tanks," Markus spat out bitterly. "Shows how much better we are." Markus then looked at Thomas' weapon, and a gleam lit up in his eyes.
"Is that a railgun? Build it yourself?" he said. He then looked at Goltia, and gave a grin. "Hey, wanna hear a war story?"

[Pragia]

Goltia
Markus gave Goltia a look, which withered her where she stood.
"Actually, that's meant to be one of the biggest secrets on this station. Our true nature has the potential completely change your world. And what would happen if someone... Less then tactful, got their hands on a piece of our people's technology? No offence, but your rock in the stars is a backwards dump compared to our home world," Markus said. Goltia shot Thomas a silent, pleading look, before speaking.

"Is that a railgun? Build it yourself?" he said. He then looked at Goltia, and gave a grin. "Hey, wanna hear a war story?"

Thomas Strained his neck at Markus's description, feeling bad for Goltia that he had pressed her on the topic. "None taken, and no pressure, I guess..." He hadn't really asked Goltia much as to what had happened, and Thomas was curious about it. He again got a bit shocked about the remark on a great leader getting his head blown out. Oh God why did I think shock. he thought, before small sparks jumped off his skin, and the one arm of armor he had on. He closed his eyes for a second, then replied "Yeah, hopefully the capacitors on this one will behave" He said, then adding afterwards "Uhhh, sure thing, Think I'm done with my work on this."

[Corrian]

"I can phase through things" Caitlin said, turning to look at Abigale. "I still don't have it fully developed but I think it could be pretty cool when I get really good at it" She said, though even though she said that you could tell she thought her powers, while cool, were pretty boring compared to a lot of the other students here. Including Cassie's, who she thought had cool powers. And Tyler, of course. But she still felt that once she developed her powers along with her fighting skills that she could be quite the opponent, which is what she wanted eventually.

"I know, my powers aren't the most exciting, but not all of us get the gift of awesome powers" Caitlin added after a bit of inner thinking.

[Terintania]

So, after having stared at Jay awkwardly for a while, Sarah finally did something of note. That is to say, she spoke. "...So now that we know we're on the mission, is there anything you want to do today? I think we have the day off." She asked him.

Jay blinked when he heard Sarah talk. He had been deep in thought. He gave a shrug,"I don't really know what there is to do on days off here. At least, that I can do. I can't swim, and I don't like hanging out by a pool for the risk of falling in. I can't really do anything in the gym. I can listen to movies, so a movie is a possibility. I don't know, is there anything you want to do? I want to do something, I just don't know what."

[Corrian]

"I'll be right back" Cassie said, taking her feet out of the water and walking barefoot along the outside of the pool. She was heading to where the pool toys were stored, assuming there was a pool toy storage area considering that they had come here to play ball or something. Once there, she grabbed one of the softer balls, throwing it into the pool at nobody in particular, more giving it to them then anything. But, because those kind of balls changed direction easily, it drifted in the air and hit Josh right on the head. Her expression came from normal to looking like she knew she was in for it. She hurriedly headed back to the toys and grabbed one of those big floaty toys and used it as a shield in case she got splashed.

[Orinon]

Markus grinned and nodded, then looked at Goltia.
"This is one the parents told me to never tell you," he said with a grin. He then started talking, explaining certain things for Thomas' sake.

"During the Siege of Tarnia, a three month siege of our homeworlds by the Avaloni, another race of near-humans that we got into a very messy and bloody war with, I was on the ground on Terrva, our homeworld proper. Me and my team were doing a burn op; We go in and put a torch to anything intel wise that could help the enemy. Our target was in the middle of Terrva City, the planet's capital. Now, at this point, the Avaloni basically own Terrva City. Military's completely pulled out, getting bogged down defending hardpoints and important shit. So, it's me, a seven man Orbital Drop Shock Trooper squad, and a rather pissed off AI vs a rather sizable army. We managed to avoid almost every single one of them. But then, naturally, our luck ran out." Markus paused to breathe at this point, noticing that Goltia's attention was fully fixed on him. Rolling his eyes slightly, he continued.

"We stumbled right into one of their supply bases. And this place was nuts. There were tanks, anti-vessel turrets, a couple of small troop transports. And troops. A lot of them. And not just grunts, oh no. These were Force Recon, the Avaloni's best. These were the guys they sent in once we dropped ODSTs to clean house. In a word, we were fucked. I got a line to the Battlestar that we were assigned to normally, and basically begged it's commander for fire support. Oh we got it. About a minute later, I got told to get to cover because they were about to shell this place from orbit, with a Destroyer, the ship we just described to you. This frigate is designed to kill capital ships, and they were pointing one at me."
"What happened then?" Goltia asked. Markus chuckled and rubbed his nose.

"We ran like hell. We got shot at. I took a plasma caster round to the shoulder and the hip. Dancer, our medic, took a round to the back, and Hotshot, our sniper, damn near got his leg blown off by a railgun. It was a messy as you would think it would be. But we got to a "safe" distance. And by safe, I mean the blast didn't instantly kill us. The first round they shot down basically leveled the block. They didn't have time to switch rounds, so they just shot through the atmosphere with a round designed to go through shields and a few layers of armor, and carry on going. There was a lot of force behind that round. The next three rounds were just icing on the cake; orbit-to-ground hydrogen charges. Those were the biggest explosions I've ever seen, and the closest I've been to them. I was close enough for the heat to burn half my face off. It was terrifying, beyond belief. I was legitimately scared of dying for the first time in the war. It's hard to heal from being turned into a fine mist. But we lived. We were alive, and taking out that supply base gave ground forces some leeway to get back into the city," Markus finished, coughing slightly after talking so long. Goltia looked at her eldest brother.
"Did you finish the mission?" she asked. Markus laughed.
"Oh fuck no. Half of us could barely walk. We holed up and waited for reinforcements," he said.


Josh and Abigale

Abigale nodded, looking at Caitlin.
"Given the right amount of training, you could make yourself functionally invincible in a firefight. Simply allow all the bullets to phase through you," she said. "I've been in firefights before. Being able to teleport gives you an edge. Teleport beside some guy, then jump away as he turns to fire at you and watch as he blows his best friend's head off." Josh, meanwhile, nodded.
"Yeah. Some people luck out in the lottery I gues-" Josh was cut off by the ball smacking him in the head. Dazed for a moment, he spun around in the water, ignoring Abigale's quiet chuckling. Seeing Cassie hurriedly grabbing something to defend herself with, Josh gave an evil smirk, before ducking under the water for a moment. When he resurfaced, a orange orb of energy was in his hands, the orb clearly full of water. He then hefted the orb into the air and flung it towards Cassie. The energy dissipated, leaving the water to fall on and around Cassie. Josh, meanwhile, wore the largest grin known to man.
"And this is why I always won water fights!" He said happily.

[Altruistic Paladins]

Makoto's short conversation with Cassie ended shortly, as there was nothing left that she thought was worth communication. With nothing left to be said, she walked around the pool. There was nothing of note to be seen, but did so anyway. There was little reason for her to be there, especially since the splint didn't allow her to swim. This was interrupted when Cassie threw a ball that detoured into Josh's skill. It got a snicker out of Makoto just to see such a collision. That continued further when she saw Josh with a grin that dripped of either revenge or an awkward school photograph to Makoto; both of which continued her snickering. Despite her best efforts, her snickering was not subtle at that point to warrant usage of the word "snicker". Even so, when Josh dived, she just submerged her head for surveillance to watch what Josh intended. As she saw Josh's creation, Makoto reached out an arm toward the orb as it went after Cassie, whose sudden carrying of a float as a shield added fuel to the laughter. She let out an overdramatic no in a sarcastic performance that failed as she corpsed, incapable of hiding her laughter that constantly interrupted the word. Despite her best efforts, she failed to stop the orb as it dispersed. As a liquid, her skills were insufficient to stop the water as whatever small amounts she stopped didn't stop other collections of water or water within the same airborne bodies to stop as whatever drops ceased as the rest of the water flowed around it. Still, a concern about Cassie lingered on the back of her mind abut how Cassie was inevitably going to react.

[Corrian]

Caitlin gave a nod to what Abigale said. "I was wondering if that would be possible. At the moment all I can really do is phase through solid objects but it would be really cool to eventually just be able to phase in plain sight. Would make my fights more interesting, and useful. I need to get up my melee fighting some more. I haven't really done as much training as I should. I want to be really useful with this whole vigilante work some day if I can" She said.

"Another thing I heard discussed but I don't know if it is really possible, but getting to the point of phasing where you could actually go entirely invisible. Not just look like this solid matter that has bullets go through you, but actually physically go invisible. It would be really cool but I don't know if it would be possible or not" Caitlin added.

Cassie
Cassie glanced out from behind her cover, to see an orange orb headed her way from Josh. "No fair!" She said, but she was laughing at the same time. She didn't expect him to actually use powers on her, and expected a simple splash at her. When the orb came at her she let out a squeak, and when the water actually dumped on her, she only partly managed to stop it from getting her soaked. She let out a gasp from the sudden cold, soaking pool water falling down onto her head, soaking her hair, denim jacket, and denim jeans, though mostly her hair and jacket. Seeing as her defense served no purpose anymore, she threw it to the side.

"You cheater!" Cassie said, but she had a huge grin of her own while saying it. She was laughing and chuckling, too, and she looked really, really happy, despite now being cold and soaked. She wanted to cherish the moments like these for as long as she possibly could. Happily she sat at the edge of the pool again, shaking herself off a little to not be AS soaked. She put her feet into the water, and she let out a chuckle again. "I was just trying to give you guys a ball to play with and it detoured into Josh' head, and now look at me" She said with a bright smile on her face.

[Zarkenis Ultima]

Jay blinked when he heard Sarah talk. He had been deep in thought. He gave a shrug,"I don't really know what there is to do on days off here. At least, that I can do. I can't swim, and I don't like hanging out by a pool for the risk of falling in. I can't really do anything in the gym. I can listen to movies, so a movie is a possibility. I don't know, is there anything you want to do? I want to do something, I just don't know what."

Sarah thought about what Jay said, wondering what exactly they could do. She didn't know what, either, and that was not a good thing. "Well, a movie sounds nice, but where exactly are we supposed to watch one?" She wondered aloud, unsure of where they could get one or watch one.

[Pragia]

Markus grinned and nodded, then looked at Goltia.
"This is one the parents told me to never tell you," he said with a grin. He then started talking, explaining certain things for Thomas' sake.

Josh and Abigale

Abigale nodded, looking at Caitlin.
"Given the right amount of training, you could make yourself functionally invincible in a firefight. Simply allow all the bullets to phase through you," she said. "I've been in firefights before. Being able to teleport gives you an edge. Teleport beside some guy, then jump away as he turns to fire at you and watch as he blows his best friend's head off." Josh, meanwhile, nodded.

The energy dissipated, leaving the water to fall on and around Cassie. Josh, meanwhile, wore the largest grin known to man.
"And this is why I always won water fights!" He said happily.

Thomas took great interest in the story, forming a mental image of the story as it went, trying to comprehend how complex plasma casters, hydrogen charges, and the like were. He had a certain fascinations with this description, and silently wished so desperately that he could have seen it personally.

"I would think they wouldn't send you in blind like that, sounds rather dumb to send you in without knowing of something so valuable." He said at the end, deciding to begin painting the new rifle and armor plate, attaching it to the full suit.

[Orinon]

Josh laughed as well.
"It's not cheating. It's creative interpretation of the established rules," he said. Swimming over to where Cassie was sitting, he extended his hands and called forth a small orb of energy. The orb radiated heat, though not enough to be uncomfortable, or so Josh hoped. Wearing a rather shy smile, he laid on his back and stared at the ceiling.

Meanwhile, Abigale mused on what Caitlin said.
"Well, the ability to see objects comes from light bouncing off the object and entering our retina. If you were able to reach the point where even light passed you, then yes, you would be effectively invisible. Josh here is able to render himself invisible by generating a field that redirects light around him. Invisibility is honestly about controlling light energy in some way, whether by bending it around yourself, or by letting it phase through you, or anything inbetween," she explained.

Markus

Markus chuckled when Thomas made an obvious point.
"Maybe I should have given more context. We were losing. We were losing hard. It was a struggle for the fleets to keep themselves alive. Every ground team was running dark, not just us," Markus explained.

[Corrian]

Cassie just smiled at what he said in response to her saying he was cheating, deciding that his reasoning was good enough of one as any. For a moment she was confused why he was swimming over to her and extending his hands out, but she soon realized when an orb showed up and she felt some radiating heat hitting her. She smiled again in response, and said a quiet "Thank you" to him, and then fell back to being silent, moving her feet slowly through the water.

Caitlin
Caitlin listened to Abigale quietly, giving a slight nod due to being distracted with her thoughts. It sounded rather possible to her, and now she wanted to train even more to eventually become more bad ass then ever. "Well, now I am really hoping I can one day get to that point. It sounds really cool and useful. I think that is a long ways off, though. I can't even make things go through me just standing there yet" She said with a chuckle.

[Orinon]

Josh nodded, lost in his thoughts and memories. He found himself tracing the various scars that dotted his body. A dot on his shoulder from when he burnt himself first learning to control his powers, a rather large line where he had a run-in with a boar, countless small dots and dashes from having a rough and tumble childhood. So lost was he in his memories, he didn't realize that he had managed to turn himself towards the side of the pool until he bumped his head against it. Groaning in pain softly, Josh rubbed the top of his head as he righted himself.
"Okay, that's enough for now," he muttered, dragging himself up onto the side of the pool next to Cassie and shifting the orb of heat slightly so he could warm up as well.

[Corrian]

Watching Josh, Cassie could just tell by the look on his face and the way he was tracing scars on his body that he had a troubled past, just like herself. She had seen it in him previously, when talking to him, too. Being how she was herself, she had learned how to detect the signs of a troubled person. Constantly glossy eyes, sad smiles, getting lost in thought constantly, just generally looking sad all the time, they were just some of the many signs she had done herself, and now she could almost always detect that in others.

Cassie had her own fair share of scars from her past, mostly due to her father. They were all over her body, from various different things. Getting beat by her father, cut, smashed into an old mirror, whatever. There were definite signs of her abuse. Of course, due to her phobia of wearing anything but having her body fully covered, nobody could actually see her scars except the ones on her face. And none of those were overly obvious ones. But Josh could probably tell her past was troubled the same way she could tell his was.

"You okay?" Cassie asked him, concerned because she saw he had spaced out so much he floated into the side of the pool. The side of the pool did not look like a pleasant thing to hit your head on, especially when it would catch you off guard and make you flail in the water, which could feel a little nerve racking. He pulled himself out of the pool and sat next to her, and she smiled at him slightly, then stared back straight across the pool, moving her feet in the water and closing her eyes with a smile on her face.

For once, thinking about her past didn't damper her good mood.

[Kershya]

'Back on Earth,' Isaac thought as he remembers being manhandled by the guards of the space station, all because of the fact that he wants to see his brother. 'Must be for the best.' He then splash his face with the cold water from the sink, waking him up. He got a call from the agency, at least his mother is out of the coma, and is now wondering about her healing powers. He can't tell her about Antonio, she's still emotional weak. Looking back at the mirror, he notice something, a business card with the letters LoB CoB on it that simply appears. Taking the card, he doesn't feel anything strange about it. On the card's other side, it says 'Meet me at the closest government building near you after its working hours.'. Looking at the card with a raised brow, Isaac Fernandez, the Chancellor of Good Fortune, simply sighs and gets ready for the meeting.

Land of Sentimentality

In a land where the rich lives in extravagance and luxury and the poor all died from the inability to pay for air, Apathy walks the halls of the Great Museum of Unrequited Love, a large museum in the place named after the concept. Walking pass the large idealized paintings of Antonio's first crush, Apathy enters the office. Inside is Sentimentality, who calls himself Eurus which Apathy doesn't really care, another copy of Antonio, this one is wearing an expensive business suit, his hair is neatly combed and look like wispy clouds, and his eyes are in a shade of light blue.

"Who are you?" He asked with hidden fear as Apathy simply walks towards him.

"Still clinging to the past Sentimentality." Apathy said as a nearby painting of Antonio's family in a family picnic suddenly dissolve into darken ash.

"NO!" Eurus screamed as he sees the priceless items of such great value slowly decay into apathy and ennui. A pen that was given from a friend before he moved, the first book read from a relatively new bookstore, the mother's handkerchief before it got missing, a statue of the late father at the moment of being killed by a vampire, it all turn to dust. Apathy stands in front of Eurus, who's clutching and hugging the dust and crying away the pain.

"Why?" He asked. Apathy simply grab his forehead with a bored and indifferent look on his face.

"Just grow up." He said before the flash of light enters Eurus, and he vanish. Apathy then heads south, to the frozen land of law and order.

Antonio's Medical Room

Another light appears on Antonio's catatonic body as Eurus appears. Completely nude and kneeling on the floor, he simply cries, trying to run away from the sorrow and into the memories of joyful innocence of the past.

[Pragia]

Markus
Markus chuckled when Thomas made an obvious point.
"Maybe I should have given more context. We were losing. We were losing hard. It was a struggle for the fleets to keep themselves alive. Every ground team was running dark, not just us," Markus explained.

"Makes sense, but I am still confused as to why y'all are here, you hiding from these other Aliens? No offense, but if it is so much better over there than it is here, then why not go back?" he knew he probably phrased that badly, however Markus seemed kind enough to not take it badly.

Thomas began donning more and more until all but the helmet was on. A projector in the neck piece projected onto his cheek, and Thomas read the status report. Some motors in the shoulder were still damaged, and manual intervention was required. Thomas still wondered if he could get his hands on some more advanced painkillers so a repeat of what happened wouldn't happen. The capacitor again reported that Thomas had stolen some energy from the suit.

[Mighty Asgard]

Jay blinked when he heard Sarah talk. He had been deep in thought. He gave a shrug,"I don't really know what there is to do on days off here. At least, that I can do. I can't swim, and I don't like hanging out by a pool for the risk of falling in. I can't really do anything in the gym. I can listen to movies, so a movie is a possibility. I don't know, is there anything you want to do? I want to do something, I just don't know what."

Sarah thought about what Jay said, wondering what exactly they could do. She didn't know what, either, and that was not a good thing. "Well, a movie sounds nice, but where exactly are we supposed to watch one?" She wondered aloud, unsure of where they could get one or watch one.

Dominic was drinking an extra cup of morning coffee in the cafeteria when he spotted Jay and Sarah sitting at a table together. He needed to speak to Jay about the moon mission, since the blind boy would need something special to be able to navigate in the vacuum on the surface of the moon, and he saw no reason not to take the opportunity right away. With his cup of coffee in hand he walked over to their table.

"Good morning, Jay, Sarah," he said, smiling at each in turn before turning to look at Jay. "Jay, I assume you've already heard that you've been accepted for the moon mission? If not, congratulations. Before we put you on the list we looked into ways to help you find your way on the moon, since your usual way won't work there, and I'd like to let you have a look at them and say what you think. Just in case we need to make some changes or something to make them work right for you. It would be good to do that as soon as possible, so if you've got time for it today that would be great."

Antonio's Medical Room

Another light appears on Antonio's catatonic body as Eurus appears. Completely nude and kneeling on the floor, he simply cries, trying to run away from the sorrow and into the memories of joyful innocence of the past.

"We've got another one," the guard reported through the radio when lights appeared around Antonio again. A few seconds later another copy of Antonio appeared in the room, naked and crying. At least this one didn't immediately demand a priest or any other weird stuff. The guard went over to the pile of clothes in the corner and picked out a pair of pants and a t-shirt for the new arrival.

"Here," he said to the crying boy, putting the clothes on the floor next to him. Even though the kid was only some sort of magical clone or something it was hard not to feel some sympathy for him, he seemed incredibly sad or traumatized by the whole thing. "Are you alright?" the guard hesitantly asked after a moment's deliberation.

Tyler
Abigale had asked Caitlin and him what their abilities were, something that Tyler worried might invite unwanted further questioning. Caitlin started explaining her power, showing that she had given quite a bit of thought to ways of using it and everything. He was a bit jealous of her power because it seemed a lot more useful and fun than his, especially if she learned how to turn invisible and everything. He just smashed things with his mind. Just after Abigale had added a somewhat disturbing comment about how teleportation could be used to kill people, Josh was hit in the head with a ball. From the look of things Cassie had thrown it at him, and he quickly retaliated by throwing water at her in a rather spectacular fashion. Tyler chuckled at their antics before turning his attention back to the conversation between Caitlin and Abigale.

"I'm sure you'll get the hang of it soon enough," he said to Caitlin when she seemed unsure if she would be able to learn how to turn invisible and such. "And if you need someone to throw things at you for training I'd be happy to help," he finished, grinning widely.

[Corrian]

Caitlin gave a bright smile at Tyler at what he said. Though she expected it to happen eventually, she still doubted it would be soon. At the last part of what he said, she couldn't help but let out a laugh. "Oh that's really nice of you Tyler. Thanks for the offer" She said in a jokingly annoyed way. "I get it, you want an excuse to abuse your girlfriend" She joked, and paused for a moment.

"No really, I appreciate the offer, and I might just take you up on that" Caitlin said, giving Tyler a bright smile.

Caitlin then glanced over at Cassie, and she saw that Josh was sitting next to her, presumably talking to her. She let out a faint smile and then turned back to Tyler. "Well, we got a ball now, thanks to Cassie" She said.

[Orinon]

Josh blinked, then smiled back. Suddenly feeling self conscious, Josh blushed slightly and wrapped his arms around himself.
"I'm okay. I was always thickheaded," he said with a chuckle. Looking at Cassie, he found his smile growing, and his own faint aura of energy glowed faintly. Stretching his arms out, he kicked his feet out in the pool, splashing water everywhere.

Markus

Goltia growled softly at this question. Markus stared her down for a moment, then answered.
"We didn't leave by choice. Yeah, we won the war; the Avaloni banked on their invasion succeeding. When it failed and we pushed them back, they didn't have enough ships or manpower to stop us. We left because..." Markus sighed. "Our nation devolved into civil war once the Avaloni were beaten. There were a lot of sides, but the three major ones were the Loyalists, which was the parts of the fleet that were loyal to the Admiral of the Fleet Mathew Jusion, and anyone else that just wanted out of the war. They went and took over Rainia, our only colony outside of Tarnia. Then there were the Purists. They wanted to go and finish the Avaloni off; nuke them back to the stone age. And then there were the Anarchists. You can guess what they wanted. Anyway, it was just a giant clusterfuck, and me and Abigale made the mistake of making enemies of almost every faction except for the Loyalists. Our home got attacked, she decided enough was enough, we followed a broadcast here," Markus finished simply.
