Academy of Heroes and Villains RELAUNCHED (IC)

[Pyrade]

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."

Heiwa giggled,
"That's good! Then people won't expect it when I actually am one. The puppies and kittens will be mine!!!!! And rabbits, I want an entire truck, filled with adorable little rabbits and their noses. . . Preferably attached."
She said as her normal cheer returned and the giggles flowed freely.

[Armeia]

"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."

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?"

"I-" started Justice, choking up. She did in fact have a boyfriend, who had helped her very much by giving her a place to live and protecting her from the police. "I-" she said, but she cut herself off again. "I can't talk right now," she finished, standing up. One couldn't tell by looking at her, but she was having a... small vision of getting dumped by Oliver after revealing that she had a boyfriend. A tear came to her eye and she tried covering her face so the others couldn't see, walking out of the cafeteria. "I'm sorry," she muttered.

[WHYYYY]

She said as her normal cheer returned and the giggles flowed freely.

Ethan laughed. Heiwa was... an interesting person to be around. He wondered about her past, but decided that may be a bit intrusive to ask. "S-so did you come here willingly? Or d-did they k-kidnap you?"

[WHYYYY]

Caine saw Justice leave the cafeteria, looking upset. He decided to try talking to her. Since she was alone in the hallway, he used the intercom. "Are you okay Justice? You seem distressed."

"It's kind of personal," said Justice, leaning against the wall. "Boy troubles. No offense, but can a AI really understand love problems?"

[Pyrade]

Ethan laughed. Heiwa was... an interesting person to be around. He wondered about her past, but decided that may be a bit intrusive to ask. "S-so did you come here willingly? Or d-did they k-kidnap you?"

Heiwa grinned,
"Kidnapped of course. Off my cozy bus bench. Seriously, can't they wake a person up before they toss one into a duffel bag? It was midnight, of course I was sleeping! Doesn't mean they could just pick me up and duffel me."
She said in mock outrage. She looked around the dorm for a second remembering something.
"I should probably go find a roommate at some point . . . Which is not now. Too much effort. I'm sure someone will turn up."
She said and smiled to Ethan,
"And you? Invited or snatched?"
She asked, noticing Justice leaving the room.
"Does she have a roommate?"
She asked Ethan as well, feeling almost too lazy to check.

[WHYYYY]

"It's kind of personal," said Justice, leaning against the wall. "Boy troubles. No offense, but can a AI really understand love problems?"

A fair question, Caine thought. "I'll have you know I have access to every book related to romance. I can find every published word about any subject. With a few minutes to research, I could teach you to seduce a squirrel," he replied, chuckling.

He didn't tell her that he could easily figure out her problem by reviewing security footage. "Most students doubt my sentience. But I do know about these things, and I'm here to help. Everything you tell me will be kept under strict confidentiality."

[WHYYYY]

She asked Ethan as well, feeling almost too lazy to check.

Ethan laughed at her dramatic retelling of her story. When she turned the question around, he was prepared to respond. "I w-was kidnapped," he said. "Late at night. I had j-just gotten home after..." he trailed off, not wanting to remember. "...And then I w-woke up on the b-boat."

When Heiwa asked about Justice, he responded. "I-I'm not sure... Y-you'd have to ask h-her. B-but now may not b-be a good time, she l-looks upset."

[Armeia]

"Well..." started Justice, speaking lowly. "When I was on the outside, there was this guy I dated. He was no perfect boyfriend but he took care of me and let me live with him even when the neighbors wanted to murder me. But now I'm here and Oliver likes me and I like him too, but I'm afraid he's going to dump me if he finds out about my last boyfriend."

"Hmm..." Caine mulled over the problem. "I'm sure he will understand. After all, sad as it is, your previous relationship is unfortunately over for all intents and purposes. That's what I don't like about our recruitment methods. It tears apart relationships," the AI admitted.

"Though it would be advisable if you phrased it carefully. After all, you do want to be in a relationship with Oliver, correct?"

[Pyrade]

Ethan laughed at her dramatic retelling of her story. When she turned the question around, he was prepared to respond. "I w-was kidnapped," he said. "Late at night. I had j-just gotten home after..." he trailed off, not wanting to remember. "...And then I w-woke up on the b-boat."

When Heiwa asked about Justice, he responded. "I-I'm not sure... Y-you'd have to ask h-her. B-but now may not b-be a good time, she l-looks upset."

Heiwa let Ethan's omission slide. After the last confession she knew he was no simple cookie.
"She definitely does . . . Looks like its going to be a looooong six years for some people."
She said a little distantly as she watched the door Justice had left through.
Really hope we can avoid that for a little bit longer . . .
The thought cropped up and she nodded silently agreeing with it.
Suddenly she returned her attention to Ethan.
"There was a boat? You must have woken up a little before me on that trip. I was here when they woke me from my beauty sleep."

[WHYYYY]

Ethan was relieved when she didn't pursue the events of that night further. He wanted to tell her what happened, but he didn't want her to be afraid of him or hate him.

In answer to her question, he responded, "Y-yes, there was a b-boat... I woke up on the deck. I didn't like it there... t-too many p-people."

Heiwa reached over and poked him gently in the shoulder.
"You see, that right there, is why you wouldn't make a good music student. They'd have us perform in front of crowds of thousands. All the parents and family members sitting in the school theater staring at you."
She said with a giggle remembering the looks she always got. For some reason parents could be far more jealous than their children when they felt like it.
"Speaking of which. What do you do for fun? You do have hobbies right?"
She asked cheerfully as she sat back in her chair and trilled of a quick melody on her violin experimentally. She looked at Ethan curiously for a second before trying again, watching him intently. After a few seconds she paused, nodded and smiled.
"Well, you're not going to sleep, so that was indeed the off switch so to speak" She replied without further explanation and returned to playing.

[Armeia]

"Thanks, Caine," said Justice, getting herself together. "I do want to be with Oliver, I guess I have to tell him about this..."

She walked back into the cafeteria, looking for him. Please don't let him be upset at me for running away...

[WHYYYY]

Ethan laughed at the music comment. "M-my hobbies?" What are my hobbies? "I b-build electronics," he said, taking out the circuit supplies he'd brought with him to the island.

He looked over and saw she was preparing to play her violin. She played a short melody, then looked over at him. He smiled encouragingly. She said something about sleeping and resumed playing.

He laughed, confused, then listened to her play. I've never been a fan of violin, but she's good at that, he thought. As he listened, he worked on the half finished circuit set up on the breadboard before him.

[WHYYYY]

"Thanks, Caine," said Justice, getting herself together. "I do want to be with Oliver, I guess I have to tell him about this..."

She walked back into the cafeteria, looking for him. Please don't let him be upset at me for running away...

"Glad I could help, Justice. I hope it goes well for you." And Caine was indeed glad he could help. It was in his programming, the desire to assist students. Do I actually want to help, or am I just programmed to? Caine had often thought about the nature of his existence, but he put the thoughts aside for now and continued working.

Heiwa finished off with the song she was playing and sighed happily, like a caffeine addict or a smoker getting their first fix after a long time.
"Its been quite a while since I've been able to play without making people sleep or do whatever else the song's telling them to do. I was working on figuring out how to turn it off the night they snatched me. Obviously before they kidnapped me, I mean I'm good, but sleep time is not for figuring out the complexities of audio-psychological soundwave manipulation." She replied, stringing a bunch of words together in order to sound smart.
"And your ears aren't bleeding so we avoided any hiccups thankfully. Ruining that song would have been so maddening!"
She said and turned to look at his electronics,
"Oooh, fancy. What does it all do? Do you think they'll let us buy stuff in here?"

[Shadowwell]

Erebus had returned to his dorm after Zayne went Emperor Palpatine trying to recruit Julian. Erebus set up some things on his side of the room including some traps in case Zayne tried to do some things in response to his interference. Just as Erebus was about to Leave he heard some rumbling. He then moved towards the Console and Sent a message to the AI Caine that said " Um C.A.I.N.E. What exactly was that rumbling that I heard just now."

[WHYYYY]

Caine, checking on Julian, noticed the first aid staff didn't have the equipment to help the boy. "Excuse me, doctors, but I have elected to take your patient to intensive care. Please wheel him into the elevator." Two sections of the wall slid back to reveal a fairly large elevator. The doctors wheeled Julian's gurney into the elevator, then stepped back as the doors closed. Caine took Julian down to the more advanced, completely unmanned hospital deep underground.

[Arstotzkas]

"Thanks, Caine," said Justice, getting herself together. "I do want to be with Oliver, I guess I have to tell him about this..."

She walked back into the cafeteria, looking for him. Please don't let him be upset at me for running away...

Oliver runs up to her and looks worried. "Hey, are you OK?" he says, "I'm sorry for asking that question, I didn't know it was so personal."

[Dilange]

Caine, checking on Julian, noticed the first aid staff didn't have the equipment to help the boy. "Excuse me, doctors, but I have elected to take your patient to intensive care. Please wheel him into the elevator." Two sections of the wall slid back to reveal a fairly large elevator. The doctors wheeled Julian's gurney into the elevator, then stepped back as the doors closed. Caine took Julian down to the more advanced, completely unmanned hospital deep underground.

Julian slightly awoke sitting on a gurney in an elevator. He was accompanied by Caine and doctors. "What......?"

[WHYYYY]

Erebus set up some things on his side of the room including some traps in case Zayne tried to do some things in response to his interference. Just as Erebus was about to Leave he heard some rumbling. He then moved towards the Console and Sent a message to the AI Caine that said " Um C.A.I.N.E. What exactly was that rumbling that I heard just now."

Caine had finished hooking Julian up to various monitors and IVs when he saw Erebus was messaging him. "Ah, yes, don't worry about that. I was just doing some... remodeling... underground here. You're in no danger."

[WHYYYY]

Julian slightly awoke sitting on a gurney in an elevator. He was accompanied by Caine and doctors. "What......?"

Caine was surprised to see Julian had awoken. "Hello," he said softly. "Your condition was beyond the resources in the first aid area, so I'm taking you to a more advanced hospital underground. I'll be able to keep you stable down there."

[Armeia]

"Thanks, Caine," said Justice, getting herself together. "I do want to be with Oliver, I guess I have to tell him about this..."

She walked back into the cafeteria, looking for him. Please don't let him be upset at me for running away...

Oliver runs up to her and looks worried. "Hey, are you OK?" he says, "I'm sorry for asking that question, I didn't know it was so personal."

Justice put her hands on his shoulders and closed her eyes, deciding if she was going to explain now. I have to do this.

"I did have a boyfriend," she blurts out. "But now he probably thinks I ran away to Canada again. I want to be with you, Oliver, please don't get mad because of this."

[Dilange]

Julian slightly awoke sitting on a gurney in an elevator. He was accompanied by Caine and doctors. "What......?"

Caine was surprised to see Julian had awoken. "Hello," he said softly. "Your condition was beyond the resources in the first aid area, so I'm taking you to a more advanced hospital underground. I'll be able to keep you stable down there."

Julian looked around the room to see the IVs and the monitors in the room he was in. "L'Averti Medicaments........" he spat out, trying to say something.
