November 29th, 2038 - Margaret Carter Institute[/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr] [hider=Trick or Treat 2024][b]These tricks/treats go into effect when your character returns from Thanksgiving break[/b] Leah - Treat - While everyone else had a parent or guardian that could be contacted, there was no one there to speak for Leah - something that the school, shockingly enough, hadn't even realized. In order to both tie up the legal loose end [i]and[/i] ensure the safety of a young child, She-Hulk stepped up and filed the documentation necessary, with Leah's okay, to become her legal guardian. Leah has now been given access to She-Hulk's Los Angeles apartment, where a room has been set up for her, as well as a card giving her access to the West Coast Avengers' mansion. Jen has also gotten a trust fund set up for Leah, where she will now be making regular deposits - being an Avenger doesn't pay well, but being a lawyer as well certainly doesn't hurt. Mary Sue - Trick - Mary Sue headed back to Cardiff over break, most likely hoping for something relaxing and uneventful. Instead, her grandfather sent his heralds to retrieve her father. The resulting fight was intense and bloody, Oliver ended up in the hospital in critical condition, and a scar across Mary Sue's left eye that rendered her partially blind. Her mother lost an arm, which will soon be replaced with a prosthetic. At least they won the battle. But Thanos is still out there, lurking. [b]Andy [/b]- Trick - Over Thanksgiving break, Andy will have had a hard time sleeping, bouts of insomnia that no medicine or magic seems to be able to dispel. The day before she is due to return to the Margaret Carter Institute, she'll finally get some much needed rest. However, when she wakes up, she finds herself in an abandoned building, a desiccated corpse at her feet, and wounds on her arms - as if someone had tried to fight her off. [b]Mads[/b] - Treat - Over the break, Mads went through a bit of a growth spurt! Her more demonic features came in and settled. She now has fanged teeth, a forked tongue, horns, a tail, and wings like those of a bat. With these wings, she now has the innate ability of flight. Her teeth are able to destroy most materials, save things like vibranium. Her tail is prehensile, so can be used to grab other objects and manipulate them. And her more monstrous form will give her advantage on intimidation checks. [b]Sabine [/b]- Treat - During the break, Sabine was plagued with strange, almost lucid dreams. In these dreams, she watched her mother as a young woman, striding confidently down the halls of a castle on the moon, a sword strapped to her side. She stood a few paces behind a tall man, with dark hair and a dramatic cloak, a crown on his head that indicated his station. Her mother seemed to be his bodyguard, following him wherever he went - from the scene of courtroom dramas to ghastly murders. No matter what Sabine did, no one noticed her in the dream. Until the last night, right before students were due to return to the Academy, when her mother would look directly at Sabine, and say: [i]"You are not your father's child, Sabine. You're his."[/i] Zari - Trick - Zari and Andy have a great break, catching up with her parents in the alternate universe of Earth-667. Aside from Andy's issues, no trouble rears its head - until they get back to Earth-666, and Zari sees her time traveling device short out, reading a bunch of error messages that more or less amount to one thing... Earth-666, the universe our RP takes place in, is now cordoned off from the rest of the multiverse. No one can leave. No one can enter. Zelda - Trick - Even before the business with Arcade, Zelda has often felt herself to be invisible, blending in with the surroundings and never truly being noticed. Perhaps that is more true now than ever before, as over the break, she fell ill with a horrible fever. The fever nearly required hospitalization, and when it broke, her body seemed to be fading out of existence. Within a matter of hours, she had become completely invisible - and so far, she hasn't figured out a way to control this power and reappear. Dorian - Treat - For a living boy, Dorian shares a great deal in common with the dead - a fact that may endear him more to his Uncle Casper, or even his formerly dead father, Ben. Over the break, Dorian will discover another thing he has in common with ghosts - the ability to manipulate electromagnetism. He gains the ability to perform applications at the basic level per https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Electromagnetism_Manipulation Danni - During the break, Danni ended up wearing himself out one day, so incredibly tired as he went to sleep. So tired, in fact, that the scent of smoke didn't wake him. In the midst of a nightmare, his powers activated... and burned his house to the ground. No one was injured, thankfully, the adults had been out seeing a show - and while Max would be able to fix the house pretty quickly with magic, the memories don't fade, and the smell lingers. [/hider] [@Forsythe]: The driver looked back at Vicky through the rearview mirror. He was a middle aged man with strong features and bronzed skin, his hair dark and curly. He wasn't one of the faculty members at the school, nor was he a famous superhero. For all intents and purposes, he was just a guy, as far as Vicky would be able to tell - just one of the asylum's employees. In the shotgun seat was a second worker, a young woman with a side-shave and some scarring on the side of her neck. Both of them wore badges on a lanyard around their neck - the man's read [i]Enrique Galán[/i] and the woman's [i]Sharon Thompson[/i]. Sharon turned around, offering Vicky a gentle smile. "We'll be there soon. My name's Sharon - I'll be your caseworker. The school is sending over most of the paperwork, so when we get to the facility, all we need to do is focus on getting you settled in." She then paused. "This is Enrique - one of our drivers - he's a good person to know, if you ever need anything." Enrique shook his head slightly. "I do what I can to help out."[hr] Once outside of the building, the faculty members responsible for each floor of the dorm room went around making sure they had their students all accounted for. Students who lived on the third floor of Stark Hall (Diana and Zelda) were to meet up with Tigra. Students who lived on the fourth floor of Stark Hall (Mary Sue, Sabine, and Leah) were to meet up with Jack of Harts. Students who lived on the fifth floor of Stark Hall (Andy, Zari, and Vicky) were to meet up with Brunnhilde. Students who lived on the sixth floor of Stark Hall (Percy, Dorian, Danni, April, and Mads) were to meet up with Firestar. [b][color=AC3EFF]Third Floor Meet-Up[/color][/b] Tigra's students were over by the supposedly haunted tree. The cat-woman was quickly counting them all off, looking up and down a roster list on a clipboard labeled [i]FIRE PLAN[/i]. Most of the students from her hall were present, with a few exceptions. "Novikova? Diana Novikova? Flynn? Zelda Flynn? Ladies, if you are here, I need you to come check in with me!" Tigra called out, before shouting out as well to see if anyone had seen Tommy Maximoff or Eli Bradley. Billy and Teddy, a.k.a. Wiccan and Hulkling, a.k.a. the Most Popular Couple in School, were [i]very[/i] much present. Teddy had his arms wrapped around Billy, and Billy's hands were knotted up in Billy's hair, as the It Couple were deeply engaged in a make-out session, hardly caring that the rest of the school could see them. And why should they care? Everyone else just wished they were them. [b][color=AC3EFF]Fourth Floor Meet-Up[/color][/b] Jack of Harts, a strangely radioactive man and an ex-boyfriend of She-Hulk, was similarly fussing himself with a clipboard. Several of his students were missing as well. The Young Avengers ladies were all in attendance, and he knew that something was going on with them, given that Cassie Lang was currently sobbing her eyes out as Kate and America tried to calm her down. Another one of his students was missing, but that was because she had died right before Thanksgiving Break - Ardere - and he hadn't removed her yet from the evacuation roster. "Mary Sue Sullivan? Leah Jordan? Sabine Bassard? If you're here, please raise your hand!" [b][color=AC3EFF]Fifth Floor Meet-Up[/color][/b] The fifth floor students had met up near the outdoor climbing wall, under Brunnhilde's watchful gaze. The Asgardian frowned a bit, peering at the clipboard in front of her as if it had offended her. It looked liable to snap in half at the slightest breeze with her fearsome grip. "Aye, let us see..." she murmured, before calling off name after name - almost everyone was present, with the exception of a few. "Zarina? Andy? And Miss Victoria?" Brunnhilde called out, looking around for her charges. She wouldn't find Vicky, of course - Vicky was currently on her way to a secure facility. But given the quickness of the fire alarm, Brunnhilde hadn't had a chance to check her email yet to be notified. "Has anyone seen those young maidens?" she then asked, looking at the rest of her charges. [b][color=AC3EFF]Sixth Floor Meet-Up[/color][/b] Firestar was pacing back and forth, almost completely through her roster when she realized a good portion of her students were missing. "April, Danni, Dorian, Percy, Mads? Has anyone seen them? Has-" she then turned towards the building, and her jaw dropped. There were her students... with a dragon. Her students had a dragon. Her most accident prone students, the ones that regularly caused extreme damage to the building, had a [i]dragon[/i]. "Fuck," Firestar whispered. "There's no way the insurance will cover this..."[hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=42A9FF]April Flynn[/color] & [color=ed1c24]Percy Novikov[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/d1723ee57b9df2da0b9489e9cee7a408/90f917e93b713a17-04/s400x600/d38c484659a7a81a4da2f137683399e7922fc1ea.gif[/img][img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/fc/6e/e9/fc6ee97291be7f014bd7c86399f42181.gif[/img][hr][b][color=42A9FF]Location:[/color][/b] Avengers' Academy - Outside Danni and Dorian's Room [b]Skills:[/b] N/A [hr][hr][/center] Danni didn't answer April, taking off at a run and quickly leaving her sight. Her newfound energy and drive vanished for a split second, as self-doubt and hurt crept on in. Why hadn't he said anything? Had he not heard her? Yes, that must have been it. That was all it was. A lot of things had just happened at once - [i]Dorian and Percy had fucked!![/i] - and in the noise, Danni hadn't heard her. Everything was fine. He hadn't ignored her. In fact, if she were to run out after him right now, he probably would pull her into a big hug and they'd cry and talk it out and it would all be fine. No, better than fine - everything was going to be [i]perfect[/i]. She'd put out the fire so quickly! She felt like she could put out a thousand fires right now! A million, even! A billion! [color=42A9FF]"Thanks!!"[/color] April beamed, as Leah and Mads told her she'd done a good job. She had a lot of practice when it came to putting out Danni's fires. They'd been partnered up in their elemental control classes as freshmen for a reason - definitely had saved the school a small fortune in fire extinguishers, although April's ability to smother out Danni's flames was hit or miss. If he really let loose, she wouldn't be able to do it - he was an omega level mutant, his power didn't have a limit. Hers did. It didn't bother her, though. She didn't need to be an omega to be strong. However, as the water all around them suddenly vanished... April suddenly felt like her ears had popped from a sudden pressure change, as the area around the group became completely dry. [color=42A9FF]"Woah that... That felt [i]weird[/i], Leah,"[/color] she said, shaking her head a bit. The weirdness of it left pretty quickly, though, and while they did need to get out of the building, April wasn't going to leave - not without checking on Dorian first. He'd wiped out fully in the foam, and as Mads offered her her hand, April shook her head. [color=42A9FF]"I'm good, thanks - gonna make sure Dori's okay, I'll see you out there."[/color] By the time April had gone over next to Dorian and knelt down next to him, Percy was already on top of it, offering his boyfriend a hand up. He had blatantly ignored Diana for the rest of everything that had happened, and instead was just focusing on Dorian. He'd slipped and fallen in the foam from the extinguisher, and he seemed strangely tired? Was the exhaustion from what they'd been up to finally getting to him? Was it hunger? He knew that Dorian had wanted to get food right away, they'd burned a lot of calories and hadn't grabbed breakfast beforehand. [color=ed1c24]"Are you alright?"[/color] Percy murmured, checking him over quickly. He didn't think Dorian had hit his head, so odds of a concussion seemed low. Maybe he should look into taking a combat first aid class in the new year - it occurred to him that Dorian was somewhat fragile. (Not that Percy himself wasn't, of course). And his friends were rather prone to having explosive breakdowns with their powers. He'd need to think on this more later. Once Dorian was ready to leave the building, April and Percy headed out with him - April with an arm around Dorian's shoulder, and Percy standing close enough to catch Dorian in case he really [i]had[/i] hit his head - or was about to pass out from exhaustion. He [i]really[/i] needed to start checking out medical texts from the library, he mused. Outside of the building, the others were already somewhat clumped up - most of them beginning to gather around Danni, rather than go to their respective zones. However, it was soon clear to Percy as to exactly [i]why[/i]. Danni Kingston had a [i]dragon[/i]. His eyes widened. A [i]dragon[/i]. Percy never would admit it, but the creature was completely adorable, about the size of a small dog. Had that been what the entire fire was actually about? Percy wasn't familiar with dragon-hatching processes, but it wasn't hard to imagine they involved a great deal of fire. He lowered his voice, so only Dorian could hear. [color=ed1c24]"Did he cause the fire on purpose then? To hatch a dragon?"[/color] April, of course, was not [i]nearly[/i] as quiet. [color=42A9FF]"OMG Danni!!!!! It's so cute!!!! Does it have a name yet??? It's such an adorable little baby babe!!!! Ahhhhh!!!!"[/color]
