[IC] Prometheus Academy: Open-world, multiple locations, unique classes and an overarching story.

[badend]

Ashlynn waved her hand, staying silent. More than likely there would be another 'meeting'. Which seems to be the norm, nowadays.

She floated high into the night sky, heading towards the Academy.

Jacob returned to the injured persons, nodding in acknowledgement to his healing companion. "Just a trigger-happy civilian who figured he'd make things even worse for human-wanderer relations. As if that were possible." Scoffing, he bent down in front of the woman whose arm he'd set and sighed, shaking his head. "Well, I'm back. Time to fix up that arm of yours, tired as it might make me. I have a feeling things are gonna get ugly here soon, so it might be best for me and my buddies to get out of here before the cavalry arrives." Pouring an abundance of energy into the woman's arm, Jacob stifled a yawn as he was starting to be drained of energy.

Getting up after finishing his work, he smiled down at his patient. "I'd still get that checked out by a medical professional, but you should at least be able to move it about without doing any more damage. My work here...is done." As he finished the sentence, he disappeared, arriving outside of the Academy gates, and returned to his dorm, his breath heavy and ragged from exhaustion.

Scenario 24: Events Occur In Real Time

Ashlynn had a small table to herself in the dining halls of The Academy. She managed to sneak into her room without Carolyn just a few hours ago, which was an amazing feat. With her helmet on the floor next to her foot, she ate her cereal. Not in silence, as the cereal was rather crunchy (Just Bunches of oat clusters, specifically), mind you.

Her thoughts lingered around the events of last night; the shooting, the 'bombing', and the strange case of Cancer. She had visited him before coming to eat breakfast, only to find him laying 'peacefully' in his bed with his helmet on, which was a bit ridiculous. Cancer entered into a comatose state after blacking out from last night, and he was not responding.

24.

After taking a night off for herself, Jade was finally in a good mood, which had been rare for her lately. She practically skipped into the cafeteria with a smile on her face. She guessed that the good mood was brought on because she was beyond hungry, and was about to eat.
After getting her plate full of food, she walked over to the table Ashlynn sat at and sat down. "Morning."

[badend]

Ashlynn looked up at the person who just sat at her table. Jade.

"Hey. Liked that trick from last night."

[D Disciple]

"Me too!"

Aphrodite says floating next to the duo with a plate full of food.

"You are a good pupil after all."

[wolverbells]

Jade rolled her eyes at the comments of the females and looked down at her plate, grabbing a strawberry, "I should've thrown them at that guy that told me to put them down. Who the hell was he?"

[badend]

Ashlynn shrugged. "A 'detective', I think?", she asked, taking a couple spoonfuls of cereal after.

"So what now? Ivy's kidnapped, and Cancer's in a coma. I'm highly considering the offer to train with Balthazar, because I DO NOT want my ass kicked again and I'm tired of having to wait for the fight to come to us."

[D Disciple]

"I'm with you, I remember the first week Ivy and I sparred with Dark and Kyo we mopped the floors with them, but now their powers and skills have increased dramatically. Whatever Balthazar is doing, is working for them. What about that Mei chick, I heard she really didn't help out with the investigation."

Scenario 24

Jacob walked into the cafeteria, a dark look on his face and dark bags under his eyes. His steps were slower than usual, and he wasn't even wearing his jacket. Not only was that odd for him, but he found himself unconsciously reaching for his water bottle once or twice, only to sigh at the realization that he didn't have it with him. Grabbing a plate and absolutely stuffing it with pancakes, sausage and eggs, he sat down at the same table as a few familiar faces, nodding sluggishly. "Mornin', everybody. Is it just me, or was last night...a damned nightmare....?" Stifling a yawn, Jacob started taking bites of his food, his eyes trying to close themselves without his permission. He hadn't gotten a decent night of sleep, and his body was aching from using as much energy as he did to heal the wounded people.

"Might not be my place to say it, but...I'm too damn curious at this point. Do any of y'all know exactly what in the hell even happened? That...that was just too fucked up..."

[D Disciple]

"A wanderer self destructed from his own power."

Dark says heading towards the table, with a plate full of desserts.

"An overload of dark magic, it wasn't unintentional."

[wolverbells]

"Probably the same prick that decided to spear me with ice." Jade drank from her juice as she thought for a minute. "Wait.... Did all of you escape Carolyn's wrath?" Jade hadn't formally met the prefect, but she was well aware of her reputation and her love of disciplining those who broke the rules around the academy.

[MULTI_MEDIA_MAN]

"Self...destructed....?" Jacob stopped his fork halfway to his mouth. "You can....do that? Jesus christ, I'm still getting used to this whole Wanderer thing, and now we got people making themselves into living bombs?" When Jade mentioned that it was probably the same person who'd speared her, his face got a little pale. "So....these guys...they're that powerful? Fuck. I mean....that night in the warehouse was bad enough with two of them, but...they've got a fail-safe self-destruct switch now? This is crazy. No, this is so far beyond crazy I don't even know what it is."

"And speaking of Carolyn, I don't remember seeing her. It's possible I completely blocked her out. It's also possible that I have no clue what happened after I teleported out of that hellish place. I was unconscious the second I hit my bed."

[badend]

"I have a feeling she's totally cool with us coming in late and night by now," Ashlynn said as she tapped her spoon on the bowl.

"You really don't know the half of it", she muttered (more to herself than Jacob), trailing off as she looked out the window.

[wolverbells]

"I need to find Balthazar...." Jade turned to Dark, knowing he knew more about him than anyone here. "Ivy got her ass handed to her and she's the best this school's probably got... I need to get better to be able to get her back here."

[D Disciple]

Dark raises an eyebrow at the comment of Ivy being the best at dark magic. He downs his tea, the advantages of being a fire user are quite amazing, as everyone looks as the hot beverage gets chugged as if it was nothing. He wipes his mouth with his napkin, and finally replies to Jade with a simple. "Okay."

"Dark, what about Kent, do you think he should train with Balthazar as well?"

"I brought it up to him last night, he has his own methods of training so he's fine."

[badend]

Ashlynn laughed slightly at Dark's reaction to Jade's comment. "Looks like someone doesn't want to be considered second best", she teased.

[wolverbells]

"Is Kent good too? I need all the help I can get." Jade stopped and smiled as Ashlynn teased Dark, "Prett sure Dark's got me beat on black magic too. It'll be a while before I can school him in it." She grinned before going back to eating her fruit.

[D Disciple]

Dark puts his hands up in defeat. "You guys got me. However if you are serious about this, then finish up and we'll talk with him. Kent is efficient with his skills in white magic,so we won't have to worry about him. He was holding back last night with all of the healing."

[badend]

Ashlynn dropped her spoon in the bone-dry bowl. "I'm done. Let's go."
