Academy of Heroes and Villains RELAUNCHED (IC)

[Armeia]

"I can relate," said Justice, her voice taking a more human tone than usual. "My parents, they kicked me out three or four years ago, drove me out to the Puget Sound and left me there to die. I had to learn to live on the streets, to survive on me own..."

Oliver almost laughs "I had pretty much the same problem." he says "My parents died when I was born, and I was sent to live with my Grandfather.. However, even my visions couldn't save him from getting run over by a car. I was going to be sent to an orphanage, but I ran away. I lived on the streets, until I heard of the Academy, and sneaked onto the ship." He doesn't want to mention what happened to his friend James, it was too painful to talk about.

"That's... sad," mutters Justice. "But at least you have us now, you have me at least."

[Dilange]

"La vie est pleine de clichés." Julian retorted. "Certains sont juste mieux que d'autres ." Julian put his hand over his mouth, feeling the blood still coming up. "Could you help me to the infirmary? I think something is wrong." Julian said looking at the blood.

Caine, looking through the security cameras, saw that boy, Julian, in distress. He contacted the first aid staff, telling them to go collect him. Hopefully it is nothing serious, he thought, worried.

Julian looked and say some medical staff surrounding him and Alice. All Julian could do was throw up blood and try to keep his balance.

Oliver almost laughs "I had pretty much the same problem." he says "My parents died when I was born, and I was sent to live with my Grandfather.. However, even my visions couldn't save him from getting run over by a car. I was going to be sent to an orphanage, but I ran away.

"That's... sad," mutters Justice. "But at least you have us now, you have me at least."

"Yeah" he says sadly "But, I'm happy you're with me. It makes me feel a lot better." Oliver suddenly stands up "Now, wanna go grab something to eat? Doing simulations makes an Oliver really hungry" He had just now realized that he was extremely hungry. Might as well grab a bite with Justice. Plus, he might meet some other people too. Given the events that had already occurred, he felt like almost anything could happen now.

[WHYYYY]

Caine, looking through the security cameras, saw that boy, Julian, in distress. He contacted the first aid staff, telling them to go collect him. Hopefully it is nothing serious, he thought, worried.

Julian looked and say some medical staff surrounding him and Alice. All Julian could do was throw up blood and try to keep his balance.

Caine watched as the medical staff put Julian on a stretcher and carried him to the first aid room. They're not equipped to deal with something like this, he thought anxiously. Returning to where Alice was, Caine decided to quickly clean up. "Step back please, Alice," Caine said. A closet door nearby opened, and a robot came shuffling out. The robot was designed to clean messes in this hallway. Suddenly, Caine had a thought. He reprogrammed the robot to take a small sample of Julian's blood from the floor, then clean the rest up. After the area had been cleaned, the robot returned to the closet. It placed the sample in a pneumatic tube that took it deep underground to be analyzed.

[Armeia]

"Of course," replied Justice. She was getting hungry, she had lost her appetite earlier because of her nightmare but it had returned now. I really hope I don't have one of those day dreams again, she thought, remembering how earlier she'd slipped into a dream. Now is NOT the time...

[Pyrade]

"Ah," Ethan said, unsure how to continue. "W-well, that's fine. I d-don't think you can c-c-classify your p-personality into one of two c-categories." Just like how I picked hero but probably deserve villain. "B-besides... p-personally, you don't s-seem that 'villanous' t-to me."

Heiwa smiled to Ethan and chuckled,
"Well, I'm not particularly heroic either. And who says I can't be villainous and have a giggle or two? Besides, you haven't seen me hypnotise anyone yet, or seen me burst some eardrums."
She said with a giggle and a grin.
"Honestly, I think being inconspicuous about your villainy is probably a good thing. And you? Hero or villain?"
She asked, wondering which one the timid guy would have gone for.

[WHYYYY]

Ethan laughed once more. Then he heard her question. I knew she would ask that eventually, he thought. "W-well... I p-picked hero... though I s-s-sort of regret that d-decision now..." Ethan frowned. He had a feeling the panicked faces of the guards he had attacked would be ingrained into his mind forever.

Heiwa smiled and poked his shoulder with the bow of her violin,
"Hey, no regrets. That decision's in the past. Besides, you'll make a fine hero, your powers are actually useful. My greatest weakness is . . . "
She leans in close for a dramatic whisper, looking left and right as if checking for eavesdroppers.
"Earplugs . . . "
She whispers softly before returning to her normal sitting position nodding gravely.
"Oh! And chocolate . . . And bunny rabbits. OHMIGAHD their little noses are just too adorable."
She said and burst into a fresh fit of giggles.
"Who knows, maybe someday you'll stop me from holding the laundromat for ransom. Ha! What will you do without your unmentionables! I'll ask for a million puppies and kittens! I'll be rich!"
She said excitedly.

[WHYYYY]

Ethan laughed once more. Then he heard her question. I knew she would ask that eventually, he thought. "W-well... I p-picked hero... though I s-s-sort of regret that d-decision now..." Ethan frowned. He had a feeling the panicked faces of the guards he had attacked would be ingrained into his mind forever.

She said excitedly.

Ethan laughed harder than he had in a long time. It was interesting. This girl didn't seem to care that Ethan was a nervous wreck, and talked to him anyways. He tried to distract himself from some of the darker thoughts that had been surfacing recently. My weakness is having no control over my powers or my own mind. He sighed, still smiling, and realized he was starving. He pulled his tray of food towards him and started slowly eating. "S-sorry," he told Heiwa. "I w-wasn't hungry when I got this, but n-now I'm starving f-f-for some reason." The food was cold, but still tasted alright, for something that was made in a cafeteria.

[Arstotzkas]

"Of course," replied Justice. She was getting hungry, she had lost her appetite earlier because of her nightmare but it had returned now. I really hope I don't have one of those day dreams again, she thought, remembering how earlier she'd slipped into a dream. Now is NOT the time...

"Great!" he says, and walks up to get some food. He grabs some and sits down by a empty table, close by the others. He wanted to be with Justice, but he was also open to meeting new people. Oliver gestures towards her to sit with him. Then, he takes a bite of the food. It was.... OK.

Heiwa grinned triumphantly as Ethan laughed. This was a fun diversion, making people laugh. So what if some thought she was acting foolish? At least she was acting and not being properly foolish. Besides, if they really wanted an argument she could give them a shouting match they'd never forget. Their ruined eardrums would be a constant reminder.
"Don't worry about it, food is food. We all need it. Well, you seemed gloomy when I was walking past, so I guess you just weren't in the mood for food. . . Or I've accidentally learnt how to make people inexplicably hungry with my mind . . . "
She said mysteriously.

Ethan nodded, grinning. "Yeah... s-some stuff happened d-during my t-t-test, and I l-lost my appetite," he said, frowning slightly. His face brightened again. "N-needless to s-say, you helped me f-f-find it!"

[Pyrade]

Ethan nodded, grinning. "Yeah... s-some stuff happened d-during my t-t-test, and I l-lost my appetite," he said, frowning slightly. His face brightened again. "N-needless to s-say, you helped me f-f-find it!"

"Day one of being a villain and I'm already helping people."
She said with a chuckle and a sarcastic slow clap.
"Well done me! Ugh, I so wish I had a cupcake right now . . ."
She muttered before looking back to Ethan.
Something happened? I wonder . . . No . . . No stop what you're doing. You can't ask such quest-
"What happened? Do you wanna talk about it?"
God you're an idiot.

[Armeia]

Justice slid next to Oliver after getting food. It wasn't as good as the stuff she usually ate in Seattle and Tacoma, that's for sure. But it wasn't terrible. "I kind of miss Seattle," she muttered. "The circumstances that put me there might not have been the best, but... It's my home. I left too soon."

[WHYYYY]

Ethan nodded, grinning. "Yeah... s-some stuff happened d-during my t-t-test, and I l-lost my appetite," he said, frowning slightly. His face brightened again. "N-needless to s-say, you helped me f-f-find it!"

Ethan blushed. He didn't expect her to ask that. "It's... w-well, during my simulation, there w-was a t-time where I felt like I couldn't c-control my own b-b-body. And when I got d-done, Caine told me I h-had m-multiple personalities." He sighed, not knowing how to phrase his sentences. "And after the s-simulation, one p-p-personality tried to c-control my b-body." He didn't tell her what the personality had done after that. He didn't want to make her hate him just yet.

Toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooold you! Baka! She mentally chided herself. She usually avoided personal questions like that entirely. Her personal problems were personal hence she didn't want to share. And everyone else's were personal to them too. She smiled though, she had asked. She wasn't about to ruin the conversation,
"Well, you certainly do go all out when it comes to having a dramatic first test. . ." She said warmly, trying to prevent him from getting down.
"I think you should find some way of centering your thoughts though. In music when we have huge performances we often begin to develop uncontrollable symptoms of nervousness, so we find something for us to center our thoughts. Mine is singing, humming, anything where I can make a melody to focus on." She said and gestured to her violin.
"If you can find something to center yourself with you might be able to retain control for longer than usual."
She said, still keeping her warm smile.
"Don't let news like this tear you apart though. The world needs heroes to save their laundry from me. And the kittens and puppies."
She said with a small giggle.

[WHYYYY]

Ethan laughed. "I'll h-have to try that, thank you." He smiled, though he wasn't sure how to continue the conversation. "S-so what happened in y-your simulation?"

[Arstotzkas]

"The circumstances that put me there might not have been the best, but... It's my home. I left too soon."

He shrugs "I loved New York." he says "But, I had no real connection there. There's nothing left for me but dead bodies and sewage" It was true. Usually in NY, he chose to be alone, others could be dangerous. And as for the dead bodies, those were the criminals that he had to stop. Every day there, he found people getting robbed, hurt. destroyed. Oliver stepped in usually. This earned him a dangerous reputation. And dangerous reputations didn't get allies.

[WHYYYY]

Caine was processing the results of Julian's blood sample. The results were unexpected. What in the world? he thought, bewildered. The medical files from his previous... caretakers, though he used the term loosely, said nothing about this. I'll have to talk to Julian about this when he wakes up.

"I've never been outside the state of Washington or Vancouver before I came here," explained Justice. "I guess that's why I miss the area so much."

She'd only briefly been in Vancouver, but the Canadian police deported her back to Seattle after a month, when someone reported her for living there illegally. "I hope this place feels like home eventually."

[Pyrade]

Ethan laughed. "I'll h-have to try that, thank you." He smiled, though he wasn't sure how to continue the conversation. "S-so what happened in y-your simulation?"

Heiwa mentally sighed with relief, glad that that personal moment was over. She giggled and sat back in the chair,
"Well, the army was holding an entire market place hostage, so I stood up, shouted at them, played a song and got shot at. Tough crowd. Then they pulled out earplugs so I made the hostages form a living wall between myself and them, all of them died. Then a grenade landed at my foot so I kicked it away and ran."
She said with a forced giggle, the lighter she made of the situation, the easier it would be for her to accept what she'd done. She placed her hands behind her head and looked at Ethan with half a smile curling one side of her lips,
"
So, still think I'm not that villainous?"
She asked in a surprisingly upbeat tone.

[WHYYYY]

Ethan laughed. "I'll h-have to try that, thank you." He smiled, though he wasn't sure how to continue the conversation. "S-so what happened in y-your simulation?"

She asked in a surprisingly upbeat tone.

Though she laughed when she told the story, Ethan could see she was troubled by it. "W-well, everyone m-makes mistakes, and I'm sure y-you just panicked," he said, hoping to reassure her. Was what I did a mistake? Or was it intentional?

Heiwa chuckled and shook her head,
"Oh my you are going to be a good hero. Just can't let me have my villainy. Well, to be honest, yes, I panicked, bullets have that effect on me."
She said and giggled at the thought of not panicking when bullets were fired.
"But what I did was no mistake. I wanted them to lay down their lives for mine, because I'm the one that needs to survive."
She said and shrugged. She knew what it was. She knew it was cowardly, and underhanded.
"I can make people do what I want, why should I give up my life when that can save it? All I'm doing is surviving."

[Arstotzkas]

She'd only briefly been in Vancouver, but the Canadian police deported her back to Seattle after a month, when someone reported her for living there illegally. "I hope this place feels like home eventually."

He says calmly "If you need any help, I'm always here. I'm sure in time, this place will be like home. Besides, ther's always escape." Oliver stays quiet for a moment and asks, in a more serious tone "Hey... I hope you don't mind me asking this, but I need to know. Do you have a boyfriend outside of here?"

[WHYYYY]

Though she laughed when she told the story, Ethan could see she was troubled by it. "W-well, everyone m-makes mistakes, and I'm sure y-you just panicked," he said, hoping to reassure her. Was what I did a mistake? Or was it intentional?

Ethan wasn't sure how to respond. "F-fair enough, I suppose," he said awkwardly. "B-but honestly, y-you don't seem like a v-villain."
