Academy of Heroes and Villains RELAUNCHED (IC)

[Bycrest]

"That's not the point! What if someone else got a hold of your research, think of what could happen. What you've created is either an infinite army or a means to eternal life. Any human or superhuman with the intention to do so would jump at the chance to acquire either of those things."

"You know, that risk has happened before, such as when I experimented with age reversion... But those really important experiments, when they are finished, are printed on paper, the data is deleted, and the files are stored miles underground in a vault that even I am unable to access without the principal and other official's permission. The experiments themselves are eradicated. My general procedure is incineration followed by bathing the area in acid. In my many years of operation, there has not been a single breach into any sensitive files. And besides. Looking at the math, odds are the clones will not have superpowers."

Zayne had heard everything he needed to hear. "Fine, but I think I'm done with my tour, I'll head back up if you don't mind." he said. Zayne went back the way he came and back up the elevator to his dorm room.

[WHYYYY]

"Fair enough, goodbye." Caine sighed. "I knew I shouldn't have mentioned the cloning." The experiment would still go on, of course, but Caine wasn't enthusiastic about the proposition as earlier.

[Shadowwell]

Shortly after Zayne headed back up, Erebus did the same, Saying farewell to Caine and heading back to the dorm room. He set about refining the ShadowTraps he had laid earlier, to make some blend in and others to stand out more to take attention off of the more hidden ones. He then went to the cafeteria and got some food before leaving.

[Pyrade]

Heiwa Haruka
Heiwa dashed through the corridors at top speed, panic furrowing her dainty brow as she charged onwards. With her eyes directed to the ground she headed for the cafeteria, her violin in one hand.
"Whereisitwhereisitwhereisit?!"
She muttered as she ran. Then, without prior notice, there was an Erebus in front of her. She collided heavily with him, which probably wasn't that rough for him, she was not particularly weighty. When she sat up again she shouted out in triumph,
"HA! FOUND IT! Twas tucked into my sock!"
She said holding the bow for her violin like a trophy.

After the Girl bumped into him she fell backwards, Erebus helped her stand back up and Asked "are you ok sorry about that I have a tendency to appear unexpectedly because of my powers. Actually I don't think we've been introduced properly, I'm Erebus and you are?" Erebus waited for the Japanese girl to respond.

Actually I don't think we've been introduced properly, I'm Erebus and you are?" Erebus waited for the Japanese girl to respond.

Heiwa giggled and tapped him on the shoulder with a bow,
"I'm not sure your powers had much to do with me not looking where I was going, but thank you, helped me find my bow. Don't recall ever putting it in my sock. Must have snuck in there on its own. Fleeing for its the life poor creature took refuge in my sock . . . There's a good reason it hasn't escaped yet."
She said cheerfully before lowering the bow and curtsying,
"I am the great, the magnificent Heiwa Haruka!"
She said making loud whispering cheers as if emulating a crowd screaming for her.
"Not really, I'm just Heiwa. But you can call me great and magnificent if you like. What's your name oh pillar of knocking-me-down?"

[Shadowwell]

Heiwa giggled and tapped him on the shoulder with a bow,
"I'm not sure your powers had much to do with me not looking where I was going, but thank you, helped me find my bow. Don't recall ever putting it in my sock. Must have snuck in there on its own.

"My name is Erebus Diedrich Williamson, you can just call me Erebus , my powers can allow me to teleport when certain conditions are met so that why I said bumping into people happens often, I must say you sure seem happy go lucky for someone who was quite probably kidnapped and brought here, on the other hand most of the kids here were." Erebus solidified her shadow and made a platform willing it to rise a few feet up with her on it.

After he lowered the shadow platform he said "My powers Are Shadow and Darkness manipulation and the Perks they give me." After he said this Erebus willed his eyes to go black before returning to there sea-green color.

Heiwa giggled as the platform lifted her up and lowered her, then she leaned back against a nearby wall, twirling her violin bow in the air while she spoke,
"Well, considering I was thrown out and sleeping on bus benches, getting kidnapped and brought to a place where they feed you and give you a bed is like a heaven sent. Besides, have you met half the people in this place yet? You're all so serious about everything. Somebody's gotta be the spark of fun here, might as well be the one who isn't going to be a particularly scary villain. Neat eye trick by the way, don't suppose it would go over well with kids' parties."
She said with another giggle and lifted her violin to see,
"In short I'm an echokinetic. That's a word now, don't argue, just go with it. I control soundwaves to a certain extent, amplifying, nullifying, even hypnotising."
She said and shrugged,
"Its not particularly useful though. Half the time the hypnosis doesn't work when I need it to, and earplugs render amplification ineffective for now."

" I kind of know how the sleeping on park benches goes, here's my life story, when I was 4 I was sold to the government when I was 10 an accident happened which gave me those eyes and this hair." he motioned to his White hair. "since then I had been on the run, fighting in illegal Cage fights for money that sort of thing tends to make one serious, don't worry though once I get used to this place my insanity will start to show. Concerning your powers can you amplify it to the extent where it becomes a physical thing that way you could strike someone with that and since the human body is mostly water which can conduct sound waves. If you hit someone point blank you could theoretically do some damage."

I should really avoid life stories . . .
Heiwa thought to herself as she listened to Erebus with a smile and a raised eyebrow.
"Well then, you of all people should be overjoyed to be here. It's a matter of perspective. Why be serious? Will it help you in any way?"
She asked and giggled,
"This place just breeds seriousness. It's the nature of heroes and villains. And I'm bored of the way things always are, so I'll change it a bit."
She continued in an upbeat tone while tapping her bow against the strings of the violin idly.
"I can make shockwaves yes. Unfortunately, my powers aren't all that co-operative yet. I'm still figuring it all out."
She said with a resigned shrug of indifference,
"In the meantime I'll eat all their food and work on my plans for world fluffication."
She said as her grin grew wider.

She said as her grin grew wider.

Erebus chuckled at that and said "You ma'am are insane and I find it rather enjoyable strangely. So what exactly does this fluffication of yours entail? you can tell me over food if you don't mind." Erebus moved back towards the cafeteria.

Heiwa followed as they took a seat at a table after collecting food. She had stuck with stir fry, it was good before, should still be.
"Why thank you. 'Some people never go truly, completely insane, oh what terribly empty lives they must lead.'"
She replied with a quote she'd heard somewhere before.
"Well, you see, first I hold all the laundromats in the cities hostage and demand a ransom of a million puppies and kittens each. Then, once I have my army I shall play my song and lead the fluffballs into the cities, where everyone will be drowned in fluff!!!!"
She said cheerfully, clapping for herself at the end.

[Sanabel]

"Yeah, there's stuff down there. We could go elsewhere. I dont know if we are even allowed down there. Maybe there's something else to see?" Jack glances around, looking for something to do.

[Arstotzkas]

"Hey, it's alright" Oliver says, patting her on the back, "Look, I don't care if you have a boyfriend or not. I just wanted to know. I'm not going to dump you just because of that. It's all good".

"Thank you," said Justice, softly. She hugged him, happy that he wasn't upset.

He hugs her back, saying "No, thank you. You've been a best friend and more to me, and I want you to know I really appreciate it. So, now what?"

[WHYYYY]

"Yeah, there's stuff down there. We could go elsewhere. I dont know if we are even allowed down there. Maybe there's something else to see?" Jack glances around, looking for something to do.

Caine noticed more people were talking about the underground, so he decided to surprise them. "Of course you can go down there," he said over the intercom. "But I have to be present."

[Charlia]

Alice had been about to take Julian to the infirmary when the first aid staff came, after which she was left standing in the hall until she just made her way back into the cafeteria and sat down, thinking, absentmindedly tracing her smile. I wonder...

[World Anarchic Union]

Alice had been about to take Julian to the infirmary when the first aid staff came, after which she was left standing in the hall until she just made her way back into the cafeteria and sat down, thinking, absentmindedly tracing her smile. I wonder...

William, standing in a corner, noticed the girl that had stayed by Julian, a girl with some scars near her lips, had entered the cafeteria and sat on a table, alone. Maybe I should go and ask, he thought and approached her.
"Hello. I don't believe we have met. My name is William, nice to meet you.
How is Julian? Is he hurt?"

[WHYYYY]

Caine noticed the girl Julian was with, speaking to another boy. "Alice, when you're done with this conversation, may I have a word with you?" It would be best if I told her where he is.

[WHYYYY]

Ethan sighed. The circuit wasn't working. He decided to put it away and head back to the cafeteria. When he arrived there, he noticed Alice talking to William, and other people paired off into conversations. He saw Heiwa talking to Erebus at another table, so he decided to sit at a table near the edge of the room. He took out the circuit and continued working on it. Good plan. I doubt they want to talk to you.

[Tracian Empire]

Julius just stood at the table in the cafeteria in silence, drinking his tea, alone. He was feeling sick, for killing all those people. But why? This surely wasn't the first time he saw dead people. Or killed people. It was usual. And that was only a simulation. It wasn't real.
He was blaming himself. For his weakness. One after another, the people he loved died because he wasn't strong enough to protect them. But this was over. His power might be a curse, but he was surely going to use it.

His first teacher, the one he called Master, warned him not to use it. There is a price you have to pay for messing with people's minds and wills. Of course, he never listened to that.

[Pyrade]

Heiwa
Heiwa sat bolt upright when she saw Alice enter the cafeteria.
Tis a fellow female! Finally! Someone that won't leave socks and dirty underwear all over the place! . . . At least I hope not.
She though to herself. Trying to justify her desire to not be sleeping in the same room as a guy with any reason other than the truth. She still had some of her father's semi-conservative nature.
She watched as Alice walked in and was engaged in conversation by William.
Perfect!!!
She thought, glancing back at Erebus for a second.
"I am so sorry about this, but I need to sort something out quick, prepare yourself for stares."
She said and giggled before placing her foot on the chair in front of her dramatically and pointing her bow at Alice.
"WILLIAM! WILLIAM DON'T LET HER ESCAPE!"
She yelled loudly before sprinting over to the group, pausing to wave and flash a smile to Ethan. Upon arrival she took a few moments to catch her breath. Then she cleared her throat and gave Alice her best smile,
"Hiya! I'm Heiwa. And you're a girl!!! Do you have any idea how hard it is to find your species in this place? Their kind are EVERYWHERE!"
She said poking William's shoulder gently with her bow.
"Anyhow, do you have a roommate yet? I kinda . . . May have . . . Possibly missed that step in getting settled down."
She said with a sheepish grin.
"I'm new . . . Well newer. . . By like a few days. . ."
She justified.

She nodded. "Alice. Um, yes, he is. I think he'll be fine, though." At least, I hope so.

She nodded. "Okay, HIVEmind. I'm just going to call you that forever." She grinned.

She blinked, but then a smile began to spread over her face as she applauded. "I like it. Nice to meet you, Heiwa." She looked down in mock surprise. "Oh my gosh, I'm a girl!" Then she giggled. "No, no roommate. You can room with me if you want, I'll try not to keep you awake.'

[Pyrade]

She blinked, but then a smile began to spread over her face as she applauded. "I like it. Nice to meet you, Heiwa." She looked down in mock surprise. "Oh my gosh, I'm a girl!" Then she giggled. "No, no roommate. You can room with me if you want, I'll try not to keep you awake.'

Heiwa threw her hands in the air and began dancing around in a little victory jig. She turned back to Alice and grinned,
"Oh don't worry, I sleep like a big, heavy, dead rock. It won't be a problem. Anywho, thank you. I'll try keep my super-villainy from causing too many explosions. But I can't promise you won't wake up covered in puppies and kittens one day."
She said with a serious face. Pondering if she could run a mini test run of her super-villain plan with her roommate. Then she looked at William and grinned,
"Hello friend. So, I found a roommate. Which is good."
She said with a giggle.

[World Anarchic Union]

William nodded at what Alice had said and after Heiwa's outburst of energy, he grinned.
"That's great. Always nice, I believe to find a roommate.
HIVEmind? Where is that from? "
He looked around the cafeteria and saw Ethan alone, fixing a circuit. Electricity, right. He observed the two girls that were now talking to each other.

HIVEmind? Where is that from? "
He looked around the cafeteria and saw Ethan alone, fixing a circuit. Electricity, right. He observed the two girls that were now talking to each other.

"Oh, it's from a book series, called HIVE, about this school for villains. HIVEmind is the AI running the whole school--Caine reminds me of him, so that's what I'm going to call him now." She stood up. "Anyway, he wanted a word with me, so I'd better go." She walked out into the hallway. "Okay, HIVEmind, I'm ready."
