Alicia shook her head and gave an angry look Verran's way. "That idiot doesn't care, he's to confident for his own good." She munches on her egg sandwich as Jason explains his power. She feigns intrest, but in reality is quite bored. "Looks like Verran isn't the only one who's overconfident.." She thinks. As he finishes his monologue she sips her cola, and nods. "I see, well maybe you should join up this year. Of course, you'd have to beat me if you want to win!" She giggles at her challenge and makes to finish off the last bits of her sandwich. Afterwards she stands, and gives a warm smile to Jason. "Well I'm off to class, nice talking to you Jason." She then exits the cafeteria, not even bothering to inform Verran.

Verran watches as Trevor process's what he just saw. From the grin he could tell all to well what the man before him was thinking. "Oh, it wasn't a bother at all. Nice talking with you Trevor." He watches him start to leave, but is a bit surprised when he turns back towards him. He grins at Trevor's final query, and folds his hands, rsting his chin upon them. "Well, that normally doesn't happen, so there isn't really a protocol stating what to do. So as you must imagine, nothing has, or will happen to him." He pulls a soda from his bag and opens it, sipping it casually. "Marcus still walks these halls like everyone else. He may not have received his prize money, but other then that no action has been taken against him." He takes another large gulp of the soda, his voice becoming serious when he continues. "It makes ya think doesn't it? Why would a murderer be allowed to walk free? Something's going on here that's above our heads. Me? I'd very much like to find out what. But until I do, my only option is to play their game. Battle in The Bout. Watch. Learn."

Upon hearing the answer to the question he had rather not asked, that the murderer champion Marcus Fletcher would receive no punishment, Trevor's good mood quickly disappeared. He stood there stunned for a moment, he didn't doubt Verran's word, though life in this school seems to be itself a literal battle for social standing, Verran had no reason he could think of to lie to him. It was still just Trevor's first day, he'd only been there for little over 3 hours and the story behind this place seems to have no shortage of curveballs to throw him. "Yeah... good luck then.. and thanks for the heads up." He says with a serious tone as he tilts his head, giving a quick two-finger salute to dismiss himself. It would seem paying attention to his next class of Theory and Understanding would be vital to more than just himself.

Trevor had left his latest class, flicking his lighter open and closed repeatedly, anxious to try some new tricks he learned from theory and understanding in his next class. It seems he had been let out just in time to catch the end of a small bout in the halls a short distance from his classroom. It wasn't entirely clear to Trevor who the winner was as the young girl with silvery blue hair was knocked unconscious but leapt up moments later as though nothing had happened, however the presumed winner was the one looking defeated, on the floor soaking wet from the drinking fountain. The boy seemed quick to start another scuffle with the older student passing by and was quickly brushed off. Trevor approaches Elliot, throwing a quick nod toward passing Djhango as a quick 'hello' to the upperclassman. "Pretty ballsy move kid, electrocuting the water you yourself were standing in just to try to win. But if you want to win that badly you should probably first make sure you're still alive to claim victory." Trevor laughs to himself, giving what is surely sage-like advice to the boy.

Verran watches Trevor leave, and takes another gulp of soda. "That guy seems to have a level head. Better keep on good terms with him." He then looks back to check on Alicia, only to find her gone, and Jason sitting alone. "Ah dammit. Where that girl get off to now?" He shakes his head in annoyance and gets up, beginning a search for his wayward sister. After about forty five minutes of searching, and a quick reference to the security room, he discovered she had gone to her Ability Maintenance class. Relieved, he decides to head to the roof for some fresh air.

September 17th, 2012 - 1:10PM

As Verran nears the stairwell to the roof the door opens, and the mysterious Cherri steps out. "Oh, hello there Cherri. How's the air up there?" He asks in a friendly tone. Cherri looks up at him and shrugs. "Beats me. I couldn't really enjoy it enough to know with Marcus stinking it up." With a shared laugh she strides past him. Verran turns and watches her draw further away from him. "That's odd. Marcus would never go to the roof out of sheer will. Somethings up.." He thinks. He takes it upon himself to investigate, and makes to follow Cherri as she turns down the hallway leading to the Mezzanine. He follows her at a distance, knowing she's surely sensed his presence, but keen to not make it that obvious. Upon arriving at the Mezzanine, Cherri approaches the elevators. When a door opens, she steps inside, and Verran watches as the floor indicator goes down, stopping at the sub-basement. However, he can still here the elevators motor running, as if it were descending even deeper into the ground. "What the hell? What could possibly be deeper then the sub-basement..?" He ponders it for a moment, but decides to let it go, as further investigation was impossible at the moment.

Alicia sits in the Central Park, waiting on Verran to come and take her to their room. the sky was paling a bit, the sun just beginning to set. She looks around at the other students, wondering what amazing powers lain within them. "Where is he damnit? I'm getting sick of waiting here. It was then she heard movement behind her, and she whips around to find none other then Marcus Fletcher towering over her. "Hey there little girl.." He says with a wide grin.

September 17th, 2012 - 3:40PM

Verran arrives at the Central Park exhausted. He had taken a nap and awoken only to remember he promised to meet Alicia here to show her to their room. He looks around, breathing heavily from the run that brought him here. After a good look of the area he hasn't spotted her, and decides to call out. "Hey Alicia! Where'd ya go brat? I'm tired, so stop playing games and come out yeah?" He looks around once more, and worry fills him as he receives no answer. he then spots something curious on a nearby bench. Upon investigation it's revealed to be a bright yellow bow. One meant for a young girl. He clutches it in his hand tightly, and stares up at the sky. "Alright you bastards. Game on." he says darkly, and returns to the school to prepare for the next days events.

Elliot looked up at the male student, listening to him...complement him? Well, at least that's what he thinks it was, a compliment. "Yeah, well thanks," Elliot grumbled ringing out the water from his sweater. Why did this guy care? He was just another student, so was that other guy who had just talked to him moments ago. He was getting sick of the nosy attitude of these people. "You know, if you want details or God knows whatever you," he looked at the mans plain attire and bandage wrapped around his arm, "you...mongrels want, you aren't going to get them. Honestly, you people should learn how to respect privacy. None of this was you're business so I would greatly appreciate if you left me alone." Elliot rubbed his sore back as he spoke to the older student, giving him the most aggravated look the boy could pull off.

Trevor threw his arms up defensively as Elliot was speaking, "Hey now! Relax, guy." He listened to Elliot hurling insults like 'mongrels' at the student body. At least Trevor assumed it was everyone, after what happened with Djhango, not just him. "It's no real secret that battles like that take place all throughout the school on a regular basis I hear. I mean I've seen at least 3 just today. If it was over some private matter then fine, I'm not asking. You took a big risk in the finish and it was respectable. No need to get all up in arms about it." He huffs, strutting past Elliot on toward his next class.

The boy mumbled a thanks as he began to try and get the water out of his sweater. As Djhango walked away he saw trevor, who posibly saw the fight. He wanted to know the details on what happened, but he was late to class. When Djhango walked by Trevor who nodded in hello, he said "Careful, this one's got a fuse too..." with an annoyed look on his face. Probably another kid trying to move up on the hierarchy. He kept on moving, into his next class where he tried to sneak in during a lecture. Luckily it was just banter before the class started. As he sat down, his elegant cousin happened to save a seat for him. "You're late." She said as she crossed her legs. "Sorry, saw a new kid who wrecked one of the hallways on my way here." He responded to her. "Another one? You would think fights wouldn't happen on the first day, things are really starting to get worse, if they haven't already." She sighed.

"Hey, I need to get something from the store... there's nothing to eat in my room." Djhango explained as they were walking out of the school building. "I'll come with you, food sounds nice right about now." His cousin Ridelle agreed. As they walked out, they noticed Verran looking rather darkly making his way into school. "Verran? Would you like to come with us to the store?" Ridelle asked.

Christina nodded as Tobi promised her some sugary foods next lunchbreak. She would recover quickly if she had some carbs to recharge. "Thanks, I think I could take him if I was charged up. My powers are touch based, if in a pinch, I can create a few sparks that can still curse." She felt the ground begin to sway underneath her, "ugh, I really wish the nurse was a damn healer." She knew the nurse really had it in for her, since she was capable of a good fight. Just a bad after effect of her powers, she often burned out and had to be dragged in here until she got enough sugar water to recharge.

"I wish I could leave here to be honest, I'm stuck here until I'm not viewed as a threat, or a menace." It was true, she was one of the kids who ended up shipped here based just on her attitude. That and she cursed the girls cheerleading team at her previous school. "Just be careful till I'm outta here aight?"

Verran looks to Ridelle and forces a smile. "No thanks." he says simply, and enters the school to return to his room. Upon arriving he goes into his closet and hauls out two great iron bars. "looks like it's time to practice my new finisher..."
