Super Hero High: Prometheus Rising (IC, Open)

[Orinon]

"Bah whatever. I hate reading anyway," Goltia said, rolling her eyes. Grace chuckled as she carefully bookmarked her page, before setting the book aside and smirking.
"Funny then, that you were the one out of use to get full marks in Literacy," Grace said, flicking her white hair from her face as she spoke. Her red eyes sparkled with amused, before she flinched as Goltia slapped her leg softly.
"Hush you. They must never know," Goltia said, blushing and looking very unamused. Chuckling, Josh sat down on the other bed in the room, before patting beside him and having a somewhat expectant look on his face. Grace and Goltia shared a look, before Grace mouthed a word to Goltia.
"So, what's the plan for tonight? We're basically stuck in here until they call off curfew, so may as well have something to do," he said, smiling. Clapping her hands, Grace made to move, but foudn her legs pinned by a unmoving Goltia.
"Goltia, move your legs." "Nope." "Goltia..." "Make me." Grace glared at Goltia for a moment, giving the blond to realize her mistake, before the albino grabbed a leg and began tickling.
"Oh gods nononono stop that! Ahahaha!" Goltia jerked and twisted, trying to escape Grace's rather well executed leg hold. Laughing at the sight of his twin's plight, Josh then flopped backwards onto the bed and clutched at his leg.
"Oh gods Goltia you evil bitch, I'm feeling that too!"

"The name's Elizabeth O'Malley," Taylor answered, showing the fake ID to the guard as she spoke in an American broadcast voice. The pseudo-ID card was good, having everything the guard might look for in an guard's ID card. The main flaw of the fake ID was that it had no machine readable information, so it was useless as a passkey. There were no attempts at small-talk, understanding that now was not a time the guards would be so talkative.

There was no doubt in Hansel's mind that the stranger who claimed to be named Elizabeth O'Malley was an impostor. There were very few female guards on the station, and none of them were named Elizabeth O'Malley. A moment later the power suppressor in the area finally activated, the reaction delayed because pretty much everyone was busy, and the stranger's disguise faded to reveal a young girl wearing a helmet. She looked very much like a student rather than some insidious evil person. He was rather relieved that it wasn't a hostile that had managed to infiltrate them or anything like that but he was still quite irritated that one of the student would try to pull a prank like that during such a serious time.

"This is no time to joke around, Miss," he said sternly, "go to your dormitory immediately and stay there until you're told otherwise."

Tyler
Tyler chuckled halfheartedly at Caitlin's joking bow and took her hand. "Alright," was all he said when she suggested that they should go to his dorm.

While they walked down the stairs to the dorms he noticed that there was a lot of guards there, and they were all armed and dressed in riot armor or something. There were even more guards in the hero common room, most of them close to the doors to the stairs. Seeing so many guards stationed there didn't do anything to make him feel less anxious about the whole situation. Something was obviously wrong and he really hated not knowing what, even if it was something really horrible he'd prefer to at least know what it was so he could prepare for it or something.

"Do you want to hang around out here or go to my room?" he asked Caitlin, turning to look at her.

Jenkins
Jenkins walked with Markus to the armory, because he also needed to arm himself.

"Put on some armor first," he answered when Markus asked what gear he would get to use, pointing at a locker containing exactly one set of armor similar to what police used during riots. There was room in the locker for about a dozen other sets of armor, and there were several identical empty lockers next to that one. "Then grab one of those rifles and whatever sidearm you prefer, I want you to help out in the gym so there is no need to worry about piercing the outer hull of the station." The rifle in question was a black assault rifle with a bullpup design.

While Markus geared up Jenkins grabbed one of the black rifles and a pair of large handguns. He himself wasn't wearing any armor though.

[Corrian]

"But readings good for you" Cassie responded to Goltia saying that she hated reading. But beyond that, she said nothing, and instead listened to the various bantering and smiled and chuckled lightly, but found no reason to add anything of her own to the topic. When Josh patted the bed beside him, she wasn't sure if he was patting the bed for her, or if he patted the bed because he expected that Goltia and Grace would tackle him. It made her uncertain if she should move for a moment, but in the end, she sat down next to Josh TO save him from Goltia and Grace, and it looked like she almost shot a smirk towards Goltia and Grace.

When Josh asked what the plan was, Cassie let off a shrug. Really, she had no clue. When it came to formulating ideas to pass the time, she was rather clueless and not very good at it, especially when it didn't involve reading, daydreaming, or writing in her own room. And she had a feeling that, right now, even if she wanted to read, daydream, or write, she couldn't, so being in here was certainly better.

As Grace began to tickle Goltia, and when Josh apparently felt it, too, she started laughing wholeheartedly. Despite the fact she had sat down next to Josh to save him from Golita and Grace' torment, she didn't help Josh at this moment, and instead watched in amusement, coming from chuckling to laughing at the sight.

Caitlin
"Well, this doesn't help me feel any better" Caitlin said in response to all the freaking guards all over the dorm area. "Why don't they tell us what's going on? Knowing a little bit of what's happening would be kinda nice" She said, shaking her head lightly. "I feel like they're going with the silent approach to think they're making us not worry, but not knowing if we're going to blow up in 5 minutes or be stabbed to death by something weird doesn't exactly make me worry less" She said, and as much as she wanted to ask one of the guards what the hell was going on, she kept it to herself.

"Might as well go to your room" Caitlin told Tyler, smiling at him lightly, but even she couldn't hide her obvious nervousness anymore.

There were very few female guards on the station, and none of them were named Elizabeth O'Malley.

"This is no time to joke around, Miss," he said sternly, "go to your dormitory immediately and stay there until you're told otherwise."

Rather than embarrassment or a more appropriate reaction of a prankster caught in the act, Taylor's reaction was one of shocked silence--eyes wide and rapid breathing. The irises dilated and hands shook as it was made apparent that Taylor saw the guards not as an authority trying to end shenanigans but as something much different. Her hearing dulled as instinctual systems took-over from Taylor. Once freed from the chains of fear by adrenaline and cortisol, Taylor surged toward the stairway with a clear direction toward the lower stairs.

Jay nodded to Sarah, seeming nervous, then followed along behind her, clicking his tongue often to make sure he didn't trip over anything or run in to something. "Are you going to your room?" He asked, not really feeling like hanging out in his room alone, as Thomas seemed to have sort of disappeared.

Sarah saw Jay nod at her words, and, still holding his hand, began leading him towards the vigilante dorms so that he wouldn't get lost, as might have happened if he tried to go by himself. She didn't want something like that to happen, even if he could in theory find his way back by himself with little trouble if he had memorized the station's layout. She much preferred to save him that effort if she could, and considering that whatever had caused the headmaster to declare a curfew all of the sudden might be something dangerous, she'd rather stay close to him, at least until they finally got to the dorms.

Hearing his question, she nodded. "I was going to, after getting you back to yours." She answered. "Why?"

[Ularn]

Jun still felt a little disorientated as she got back to the Heroes' Common Room. She knew she was in the real world again now. Maybe. She did wonder on the way down the staircase whether perhaps she was still in the simulation and the teachers were faking some sort of emergency while she was actually still in her pod. The thought made her head spin so she tried to put it aside. It was easier if she just assumed that this was the real world until something proved otherwise.
Her powers were back, at least. The sensation she had felt in the forest - like phantom limb syndrome, she guessed - had subsided. While before she had felt like one of her arms had been cut off, she now felt only a slight numbness from the lack of any useable stone around her besides the pebbles in her pouch and the jade Heimatau on a string about her neck.
She found the common room full of apprehensive-looking students and a few guards. Most of the students were sat in groups together but Jun spotted on girl by herself on one of the sofas, wearing a feathery mask on her straw-blonde hair. Jun wondered briefly why she was by herself; she looked gorgeous, about her own age with wide blue eyes that seemed to stare through her from the opposite side of the room. Maybe up here she was a social pariah or something and talking to her might mean Jun would get ostracized by everyone else. She really had no idea what kind of social hierarchy a school like this could have and Taylor had not been able to tell her much.
Stuff it, Jun thought and headed over to her. None of the other clusters of students looked particularly accessible and Jun never felt massively comfortable inserting herself into a conversation with strangers anyway. "Hi," she greeted and gestured to the empty space on the sofa beside the girl, "S'it okay if I sit here?"

[Corrian]

Kira looked up towards the girl that approached her sitting down on the couch, and listened to her when she asked a question of her. "Go ahead" She said to her while giving Jun that bright smile of hers. Even though she hadn't spoken much, a very clear Russian accent was obvious in her voice. "Today has been an interesting day, has it not?" She asked the girl, trying to stir up some conversation.

[Mighty Asgard]

Rather than embarrassment or a more appropriate reaction of a prankster caught in the act, Taylor's reaction was one of shocked silence--eyes wide and rapid breathing. The irises dilated and hands shook as it was made apparent that Taylor saw the guards not as an authority trying to end shenanigans but as something much different. Her hearing dulled as instinctual systems took-over from Taylor. Once freed from the chains of fear by adrenaline and cortisol, Taylor surged toward the stairway with a clear direction toward the lower stairs.

Hansel wasn't prepared for the student to freak out and make a dash for the stairs, so he wasn't fast enough to stop her. Sometimes he really wished that the school would not enroll youngsters with psychological issues, but he knew that they would likely not be able to get proper treatment anywhere else when bigotry was so rampant. He told his squad that he'd take care of it and then headed down the stairs after her. Since she didn't have clearance to access the hangar she wouldn't be able to get past the door at the bottom of the dormitory level anyhow. When he found her down by the door he did his best to look nonthreatening, removing his helmet and smiling slightly at her.

"You really need to get back to your dorm," he said, "it's not safe out here right now."

Tyler
"I don't like it either," Tyler admitted when Caitlin mentioned how she was also worried about whatever was going on. "It must be something really bad for them to do all this."

His room was quite neat as always, everything either put away in the dresser or neatly placed on the desk or the unused bed. He still didn't have a roommate, which he suspected was because he used to sometimes accidentally unleash small blasts of kinetic energy in his sleep and the school was worried that he'd end up hurting anyone who shared a room with him. Even though he hadn't had that particular problem for a rather long time he was quite content to get a room to himself so he didn't care to let them know. He held the door open for her and followed her in, taking a seat on his bed and looking around for a moment.

"What do you want to do?" he asked. "We're pretty much stuck here until the curfew ends."

[Corrian]

Caitlin gave a nod of her head in response to Tyler, but that was it, feeling no reason to say anything in response.

"Your rooms always so clean. Usually guys rooms are a mess" Caitlin joked to Tyler, knowing that was a dumb stereotype of boys that likely wasn't as true as people pretended it was, and that girls rooms were likely as bad on a regular basis. She certainly knew her room was commonly worse, though her room was by no means terrible like some peoples that acted as if a tornado had hit the room and sent everything flying every which way.

"I don't know..." Caitlin said a bit awkwardly, rubbing the back of her head. When it came to being in Tyler's room, she always felt strangely clueless about what to do. When it came to her own room, she could always come up with something to do to pass the time. In his it was like there was a mind wiping barrier that made her have no thought process whatsoever of what to do anymore. She had a feeling it was simply the awkwardness of being in your boyfriends bedroom. Sure, there had been one time they managed to talk their heads off for hours, after their first kiss at the Halloween party instead of being all awkward, but that was a day where their relationship was fresh and she wanted to spill all these stories out to him, to tell him more about herself when they had pretty much officially became boyfriend and girlfriend after their unexpected kiss at the party. Now, she was almost out of worthwhile stories to pass the time with.

"You could tell me more about yourself" Caitlin suggested after a bit of an awkward silence with her thinking while standing up, and after she said that, she sat down on the bed next to Tyler, figuring they had established that was okay a while ago. "I practically told you everything about my uneventful life, but I still don't know all that much about your past or your stories" She said, glancing Tyler's way, watching his facial reactions to try and judge what he thought about that subject of discussion.

[Ularn]

Jun lowered herself into the seat, remarking to the girl as she curled her feet up beneath her, "You mean this isn't normal - this whole sending us to our dorms thing? I just arrived this morning so this is all kinda new to me. Guess 'interesting's kind of a relative term up here. My name's Jun, by the way."

[Mighty Asgard]

Caitlin gave a nod of her head in response to Tyler, but that was it, feeling no reason to say anything in response.

"Your rooms always so clean. Usually guys rooms are a mess" Caitlin joked to Tyler, knowing that was a dumb stereotype of boys that likely wasn't as true as people pretended it was, and that girls rooms were likely as bad on a regular basis.

Tyler chuckled slightly at Caitlin's comment about his room being much cleaner than most other guys'. Keeping everything neat wasn't a habit he had picked up out of choice.

When she sat down next to him he smiled at her but his smiled shrunk a little when she suggested that he could share some more stories about his life. That was a subject he'd rather not touch upon really. There wasn't much of significance left for him to talk about without revealing something about his time in the Program, and he didn't feel quite ready to tell her about that. He still worried that if any of his friends found out they would pity him or think he was weird or something and he really didn't want that. And he especially didn't want her to think anything like that. At the same time he felt like a giant asshole for lying to her all the time about his past, she was his girlfriend and he knew that he really should trust her with everything but he just could bring himself to tell her.

"I dunno, not much comes to mind," he answered. After a moment he came to think of something though, "I suppose I could tell you something about my first year up here, some interesting stuff happened then. Anything you'd like to hear about in particular so I don't just ramble on and bore you out of your mind?"

[Corrian]

"I have never experienced a curfew taking place at this time of day before" Kira explained to Jun, since she said that it didn't seem all that weird to her because this was her first day, so she knew nothing but this and could easily assume it was all just business as usual. Which, if you thought that, you may have some suspicions of the school if they behaved like this all the time. Militarized daily school routines probably wouldn't go over very well anywhere. "Yes, you are right. The very concept of being in space on a space station in itself is interesting, a bit scary, and amazing all at the same time" She replied to Jun. When Jun said her name, she smiled. "What a lovely name" She commented. "My name is Kira Ivanova. As my accent and name makes clear, I am from a Russian family, and I am from Russia" She told the girl, smiling warmly at her.

Caitlin
Caitlin got the response from Tyler that she had expected to get, which she felt was a bit of a lackluster response. She saw him come from smiling when she sat down to having his smile fade a little, and she could see that something was on his mind, and that the very question made him think of stuff he probably didn't want to talk about. He always seemed to get uncomfortable when she brought up that subject matter, and it made her believe that there was likely something he wasn't telling her. However, it didn't really bother her. She'd prefer if he spoke to her about whatever it was he wanted to speak about when he felt comfortable doing so, not her forcing it on him for him to open up everything to her already. They hadn't even been dating THAT long if you thought about it, so she would excuse him for maybe not being entirely open to her yet. In other words, when he said that nothing much came to mind, she doubted that was exactly the truth, and instead things came to mind that he didn't want to talk about.

"You don't have to worry about boring me" Caitlin smiled to Tyler, hiding her own doubts about him telling the full truth well enough. "You can tell me about whatever you want related to your first year here, and I'll listen" She told him, getting into a more comfortable position on the bed, but still sitting up . "Though you could tell me about some of the crushes you had your first year here if you like" She smirked, though she started to quickly laugh in a way that indicated to him that she was joking around. "No really, talk about whatever you feel comfortable talking about" She said calmly. But something about the way she said her words, especially the word "comfortable", and the way she looked at Tyler, you could tell she knew that there were subjects Tyler was avoiding talking about intentionally. But her words sounded completely sincere that he could talk about what made him feel the most comfortable talking about, and he didn't need to talk about anything else.

[Altruistic Paladins]

"Not again!" Taylor's actions were frantic, not even acknowledging the presence of the guards. Instead, Taylor was more focused on the battery of the door separating her from the hanger as she slammed into the side with the door handle. Taylor was clearly in a rush, having only the backpack on her person that carried her school materials and her three books of importance, Taylor realized that the door was supposed to be pulled from her side. Without recourse, she hurriedly backed-up in preparation for a second attempt to the realization that the guards caught-up with her, forcing a last attempt.

"Why won't you come-out of there?" Makoto asked. She stood outside a dormitory, wearing her noir attire.
"Zhenya's probably out there," Sakura answered from the other side of the door.
"Is that your ex? Ugh, Forget about it. Stay in there if you like," Makoto replied, shaking her head as she decided to not even inquire into the circumstances of that break-up. as Sakura cranked-up the volume on her lap-top as she watched "Top Gun". Makoto went down the long hall of the girls' dorms into the noticeably crowded hero dorms. Past that were the boys' dorms. Something nagged on Makoto's mind, and he wanted answers. With a knock on the door, Bramwell opened to the door to Makoto's. "Much better, now, about that hug. I uh, I was wondering, you seemed, eh, off-put by it. What's wrong?"
"I would prefer a situation where we do not talk about that," the visibly uncomfortable Bramwell answered.
"I would prefer a situation where you are open about your problems," Makoto asked. Bramwell sighed taking a seat on his bed, Makoto following suit as she closed the door behind them.
"Do you remember what happened in the last simulation?" Bramwell inquired, a clear distance kept as Makoto leaned on the door frame.
"The island? I wasn't with you there," replied Makoto hesitantly, which made Bramwell slap his face for that mistake in memory.
"I apologize and would like to redact my question. I meant to ask 'Do you remember what happened in the simulation that involved Moscow"
"Yeah, so what is it?"
"...I am a bastard," Bramwell answered, his pace much slower than usual.
"Yes, but before now you have told this to me," Makoto stated with a chuckle, something done inappropriately out of Bramwell's use of language and perceived forgetfulness. She knew that something was wrong though, as it was odd for him to speak slowly and clearly.
"I mean the other type of 'bastard', the definition not about parentage," Bramwell said has he fell back on his bed.
"How does this relate to the Moscow simulation?" Makoto asked, leaning back too in response. Neither of the two faced eachother at the same time, with both not making eye contact as courtesy to each other's dislike of it.
"'Petty' would probably be a better term. It relates to the whole, 'getting hit by a bunch of sharp things' thing. Dang it! I made a redundancy," Bramwell stated as his mind drifted elsewhere.
"You are getting off-track. Please, you were talking about my attacking you with that glass," explained Makoto said, quieter in tone than usual.
"...I know in my mind that I should hold nothing against you for it. I walked into that one by not checking to see whether you were in there. More importantly, it was a simulation, so I really should not get anymore angry than at a hypothetical game of paintball or sparring. It just is that, well, paintball pellets do not simulate getting shot. I can easily understate how painful it was. For some reason, I feel uneasy around you after that. Only a bastard would do something like that. I am sorry, dude. I am sorry. I am sorry," Bramwell elucidated, his eyes focused squarely on the skylight as he explained his feelings before Makoto stopped his flood of such statements.
"Man, I am not sure what I can say about it. If I had known that these things simulate pain on that level, I probably would have not participated in the first place. How about this? I am sorry, man, for hurting you. I forgive your discomfort around my person after I stabbed you. Let's just agree that we both did wrong and move-on from here. Do you agree to that?" Makoto said, conciliating Bramwell's sense of wrongdoing. It was dishonest, since Makoto felt that Bramwell was not at fault for getting stabbed by many shards of glass, but he thought it was necessary to get Bramwell to stop.
"I agree to that. I forgive you," Bramwell replied, Makoto pleased by his plan working. As they got-up from the bed, Makoto hugged Bramwell, the tingling sensations awash over the places where Makoto's arms touched. Despite that, he returned the hug.
---
A minute later, Bramwell and Makoto left the room to head to the commons. The pseudo-gold halls of the Hero common room was always a betrayal since the room was not high enough for the art deco designs on the wall to feel suitably grand. Without recourse, they walked to wherever they could find the first person they recognized and did not have cold relations. The closest they could find was Kira, who was talking with someone they yet not met.
"Kira, person we do not know, would you mind if we were to join?" Makoto asked, a smile given as hit tipped hits fedora to the new arrival.

"He's coming." Apathy in Antonio's body say, "I can sense it."

"We all do." Suijin reply as the parts of Antonio continue their arguments over ideals, ideologies, philosophies, and worldviews, "Was Antonio this self-divided?"

"He always wear masks at everyone." Lucifer say as he then look at Erebus, "Why do you think he feels comfortable in the shadows?" Suijin simply stays quiet as he simply reads his book.

[Orinon]

Markus nodded, before quickly and rather expertly gearing up. He ignored most of the body armor, only donning the leggings, before giving the 'rifle' a once over. To Markus, the bullpup weapon weighted about the same as the submachine gun that he had carried during his people's war. After working out the important parts of the weapon, Markus then grabbed two of the largest pistols.
"These... Aren't half bad. What're these called?" he asked, slipping both pistols into holsters sown into the inside of his jacket.

Josh, Goltia and Grace

After a few minutes of the Twins begging for mercy in between bouts of laughter, Grace finally relented, releasing Goltia from her hold. The blond had managed to twist herself around so she lay half on, half off the bed, her shoulders resting on the ground. Josh, meanwhile, had had more control over himself, merely rocking back and forth where he lay. Panting as the feeling of being tickled left his leg, Josh panted softly, his aura pulsing in and out of existence.
"Right. Have I made my point, hmm?" Grace said, pushing Goltia fully off the bed with a audible thump. Groaning as she dragged herself back onto the bed, Goltia nodded.
"Yes Grace," she said. The albino smiled, before kissing Goltia's cheek.
"Good girl. Now, Cassie, I need your help with this," Grace said, standing and walking to her desk. Grabbing her PDA from there, Grace then plugged a somewhat bulky device onto the top of it.
"Hey, how did you get to keep that?" Goltia asked, recognizing what Grace was doing.
"I explained what it was when they asked. It's of no help to them anyway, considering they're about ten years away from working it out themselves," Grace replied. She then tapped the screen of the PDA and pointed it at the wall. A moment later, a image appeared on the wall.
"Ta-da. Our own little movie theater," Grace said, turning and smiling.
"Not bad. We figured you had something for us to do aside from torture us," the Twins said in unison. The pair then blinked and shook their heads, while Grace chuckled softly.
"Anyway. Cassie, you can chose first movie. The Harry potter movies are on this, as well as a bunch of random movies. Apparently Kara gets bored," she said, answering Josh's unspoken question.

[Pragia]

Thomas had had a massive headache during Leroy's survival class, and he had been forced to abandoned Andrew as they got progressively worse. He went back to his room, clutching the back of his head as he retreated to his form room. He quickly had fallen asleep after taking a couple Advil, his sleep dreamless and cold. He reawokened after he heard a commotion outside, which made no sense to the young technopath

He got out of his bed, walking past the workbench with another incomplete device laying on top of it. He had dismantled and cannibalized previous projects like the cloner and his attempt at a new smartphone (it really wouldn't work out without major backing anyways) due to his lack of materials. He did want to try and build himself a more mobile suit of armor than the clunky Mk. IV he enjoyed, but such a project would be something he realistically could not do on station. Other gadgets remained however, his small sonic gun and the projector he had used at the dance (somehow it wasn't confiscated after the first time) among those that lay on the simple metal bench.

He took a step out into the vigilante commons, seeing the crowd gathered, uncharacteristic of the time as he recalled it was class time. He then saw some guards in full gear guarding the exits. This confused Thomas, as this meant there was some lockdown and something was on the station or threatening it. He asked to nobody around in particular "What's going on?"

"He's coming." Apathy in Antonio's body say, "I can sense it."

John slammed his cane on the floor, causing a booming noise much louder than seemed possible to echo through the large room.

"Everyone shut up and get into position," he ordered, "we're only gonna get one chance at this."

Hansel Dietrich, guard of the Academy
Hansel watched somewhat sadly as the student kept trying to get through the door, obviously not realizing that it was locked. It was quite clear to him that this student had some serious mental problems and that was rather sad, someone with their whole life ahead of them having to deal with that sort of handicap.

"Hey, calm down," he said calmly, taking a step closer though still staying more than ten feet away. "We'll get you some help as soon as we can, but right now it's not safe to be here. We're expecting some really bad people to come here and we want to make sure that they can't hurt anyone. Just come with me back up the stairs, alright?"

Jenkins
"A.I.S.A," Jenkins replied when Markus asked what the pistols were called. He wondered slightly why Markus didn't bother putting on more than the leg parts of the armor but before he could ask about it or order him to put on the rest as well he received a transmission over the radio. John told him that the enemy force was expected to arrive at any moment now. "Time to go," he said to Markus and headed for the elevator, expecting Markus to follow.

When they arrived at the gym a minute later they were faced with a rather strange sight; arcane symbols on the floor, John trying to corral all of Antonio's duplicates into the proper places as fast as possible, and a small cadre of armored guards waiting by the doors. When they spotted Jenkins the other guards immediately snapped to attention and waited for orders.

"We're expecting the enemy to target this room most heavily," Jenkins explained, "and it is absolutely vital that they are not allowed to disrupt this ritual. Watch your aim and be alert, we are unsure of the exact capabilities of this enemy force." Despite the circumstances Jenkins seemed just as calm as ever. "Take up your positions and stay alert. Remember what we fight for." The other guards saluted and started spreading out. Jenkins turned to Markus.

"You're with me," he said, "we'll try to attract as much attention as possible to keep the enemy off the others. I suspect you will be quite good at that."

Tyler
Tyler chuckled nervously when Caitlin suggested that he could tell her about some of his past crushes. He hadn't really had more than one, and she had hooked up with someone else right quick, several others actually. Even if it had been someone else who had asked he wouldn't have wanted to talk about that, and when his girlfriend asked he knew that it would not be a good subject to talk about. Fortunately she was quite clearly only joking and explained that she'd be happy with whatever he wanted to talk about. There was something strange about the way she said it that made him think that she meant something more than what she actually said though.

"Well, let's see then, what first?" he mused, moving back a bit to lean against the wall. "Let's start from the beginning. I guess it's rather hard to believe now but back with the old administration this place was kind of a crazy madhouse more than a school. I had only been here for thirty minutes or so before I witnessed my first fight. It really freaked me out to see some guy throwing fireballs at a big old monster during lunch, and the monster was also a student." He thought for a moment and then chuckled, "I'm not actually sure who won because I ran away from there pretty fast. I was a bit of a scaredy-cat back then."

Leroy, who was guarding the Vigilante dorm with some of the guards, hear Thomas' question. "Curfew. I don't know why, but I believe there might be some threat to the station," He said. He seemed antsy, like he wanted to be out fighting whatever the threat was, rather then sitting here, guarding the students.

(Jay)
"Well," Jay said, running his hand through his hair,"I just figured that hanging out in our rooms alone would be boring," He gave a shrug, then spotted Thomas. Since he had showed up, it meant that Jay would probably have someone to chat with even if Sarah headed to her room, but that would still mean that she'd be left alone to stare at the walls or something for however long the curfew went on. "It's up to you, though, obviously."

"It's up to you, though, obviously."

Sarah listened to Jay as he pointed out that they'd probably end up rather bored if they just went to their respective rooms. She didn't really know about his roommate, but she herself didn't have one, so he was probably right. Not that she didn't have anything to do at all, even if she were to stay alone, but she definitely preferred company, or at least, his company, so she nodded, more to herself than to him. They'd arrived at the Vigilante common dorms by now, so she stopped for a moment.

"You're right. Do you want me to go with you to your room, then?" She asked him, wanting to know if she should head towards his room, or her own.

"I don't know. What do you think? It might get a bit crammed with three people and one dog in my room, so your room might be better,"Jay said, giving a slight shrug. He wasn't sure what would be best, because he kind of felt like hanging out with Roady, but he also felt like with Roady, Thomas and the two of them it would be kind of crammed, and he felt like taking Roady to Sarah's room would leave Thomas alone.

"But won't your roommate get lonely then?" Sarah pointed out. While spending some time with Jay and Roady seemed like a wonderful idea, she didn't exactly want to deprive Jay's roommate from any possible company. She wouldn't feel well if she did that, even if Jay seemed to like the idea. "Besides, I'm sure Roady won't take up too much space." She added afterwards. "And if it does turn out to be as crammed as you say then we can always go to my room instead afterwards." She offered.

"Well, I was thinking Roady could stay with Thomas. He seemed to like dogs. But whatever you prefer, I'm fine with," Jay said, smiling at her. He really didn't mind either way, he was just giving out suggestions. He figured Sarah would care more then he would, so that's why he was leaving the decision up to her. That, and leaving decisions up to other people was generally just how he was.

John slammed his cane on the floor, causing a booming noise much louder than seemed possible to echo through the large room.

"Everyone shut up and get into position," he ordered, "we're only gonna get one chance at this."

They all go silent and follow his order.

At the Orbit of Mars

The unidentified object is getting closer as the visuals show nothing except a spot of white.

(Narain)
Narain looked up from his book and gave Alex a cheerful wave when he came in. His cheerfulness faded when he heard the announcement. It seemed a little early for curfew, though, this was his first day, so he couldn't say for sure. He tilted his head and raised an eyebrow at Alex, wondering what was going on.

Alex noticed Narian looking confused. "I don't know either. Should be something pretty important, but hey, it's not like we would be in any danger." Alex said, sitting onto his bed.
"Leroy's class was shite." Alex said to no one in particular. "The guy's a twat, and he looks like he abhors everyone here." Alex looked over at Narian. "What book you reading?"

Leroy, who was guarding the Vigilante dorm with some of the guards, hear Thomas' question. "Curfew. I don't know why, but I believe there might be some threat to the station," He said. He seemed antsy, like he wanted to be out fighting whatever the threat was, rather then sitting here, guarding the students.

Thomas was surprised to get a response from Leroy, assuming another student would give him a curt, inaccurate, and/or obnoxious answer. The teacher seemed to give off a very similar body language to the students, there was something up. "If there's a big threat... Maybe we should evacuate?" He was curious as to what sort of event merits curfew while not meriting a full evacuation of the station, mayhaps a boarding party of violent anti-supers? He had no idea what is happening, as he was still too tired and had enough of a headache to not try to get into radio channels or look into a couple cameras.

He didn't give off much body language, standing and looking around for anything interesting. He saw Jay talking to Sarah, so that accounted for his roommate, but he was worried in not seeing other friendly faces in the crowd.
