[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

Ben replies by thinking, " Ot isn't to celebrate love, like some people believe. It's actually to celebrate a person named St. Valentine. Over a thousand years ago, there was an empire called the Roman empire. For a while, they prohibited marriage. St. Valentine ignored the prohibition and performed the marriage ceremonies in secret. Unfortunately, most people have forgotten why Valentine's Day was originally celebrated."

Austin texted Anthony back," thanks. My wardrobe consists of shorts and a few shorts, not the greatest for a dance." He stood up as the knock came on his door and walked over and opened it. He smiled at the man, thanked him, then slipped inside. He then hopped in the shower, washing her fur well. He them began to brush his teeth, standing in front of a large fan that rapidly dried him off. Then he put on the clothes blinking at them. They were actually relatively comfortable. He brushed his fur quickly, making if have some resemblance of a actual hair style. He then walked out and headed down stairs, shivering at the feeling of the fabric. He walked over to the gym, spotting Connor on one of the benches. He then saw the flowers and grinned. He walked over to his friend and grinned, sitting and then nudged him with his elbow. "Who's the flowers for?"

Jessica walked towards the Gym, adjusting her dress and hair slightly. She then slipped inside, looking around. She wasn't too sure of this. She stood by the door, watching the people around her for a bit. She spotted Kalinda and smiled at her kindly before looking around. To tell the truth, she felt a little naked, without her hammer by her side. But if she needed it, she could get it very very soon. A very secure feeling it still gave her.

Connor looked ip as Austij joined him, taking in his friends outfit, "actually felt like dressing today?" He said easily, then glanced at the flowers amd shruggrd, "my mother always taught me never to go to a dance without flowers. She seems to think flowers can make anyone happy, to be honest. I think my father brought a flower shop simply so he didn't have to keep buying them whenever he mesed up" he smiled, "I guess they will be a thank you of Kijani can actually get me to dance without destroying the place"

[twave]

Wow. I definitely didn't get that idea from all the thoughts of love flying around. that's a much more noble cause.[./i] She smiles softly. Estella always enjoyed learning about her new home. Especially when the stories were more than just fact like this one. [i]So why is it so different now?

John laughs, "I don't know about being a hero, I jut hate to see people picking fights with someone that wouldn't stand a chance against them. So, do you want to do something, since we're not going to the dance?"

Anthony replies, "Hello Kijani. You're friends with Sue, correct? Will she be attending the dance?"

Devika smiled. So he had a sense of honor. Interesting. "Yeah, I wouldn't mind doing something. But what?"

---

Kijani raised her eyebrows, utterly surprised at the question. "Well, Anthony... I don't think the girl with sound amplifying powers is going to be in a walled auditorium with very, very loud music and people." She chuckled. "Though I'm also wondering why you couldn't have asked yourself." A smile lit her face, though she knew he couldn't see it. "Someone's mind has been addled by a pretty redhead, hm?" She wasn't too far off, though, with how eager she was to meet with Connor... "Perhaps you'll have to have a special dance. Just the two of you. Bye Anthony." She hung up the phone and headed off to the dance.

Kat had disappeared into her room shortly after the announcement rang out to avoid all the gushing and gossiping about the upcoming dance. Instead she spent the evening pampering and preening: washing her hair, painting her nails and dressing herself up. It didn't require that much time but she took a while to avoid being forced into the awkward conversations that might be considered necessary; so many people spoke when they had nothing to say.

Once the affair had began to made her way down to the gym, hearing the music before she walked in. How anybody would find any romance in a dance held inside a gym was beyond her but if it pleased them she could not find the energy to disillude them, maybe another day. Walking through the growing crowd with an heir of superiority - or perhaps like she was on a catwalk considering the effortlessly perfect placement of each step - she made her way to the drinks table, looking in dismay at what was on offer.

Her Outfit

[United]

(imp assuming we start outside the school)
A black portal opened up in front of the school gates. Mark stepped out of it and the portal closed. He was now trapped here until he could get better control of his abilities. hereditarily gaining these powers were a disadvantage. His control was very weak when he first relies he had these. Fear was a huge factor In keeping his powers out of control. He seemed a bit off, coming from the realm of the underworld. Being so hot down there he was usually almost butt naked. But on earth where it is hot people wear t-shirts and shorts, so that's what his dad gave him to wear. He walked through the gates ready to begin the journey to better control his powers.

(Well first you post your CS on the OOC like the first post there says and wait to be approved. Unless you have in which case outside is fine).

[knight125]

Ben shrugs, [i]"Humans as a race have a very short memory. What kind of things did you celebrate on your planet?"

John frowns, "I'm not sure. I could show you the place I relax each night before going to my dorm."

Anthony replies coolly, "I'd have called her, but she can't speak." At the comment about Sue adding his mind, he chuckles, "Something like that. And thank you for the suggestion, I just might do that." He hangs up and takes a shower before getting dressed. He then drives to the Academy. After sneaking into the girls' dorm, he walks to Sue's room and knocks on the door.

Devika nodded and stood up, adjusting her glasses. She could hear the thumping of the dance music all the way from here, a low, rumbling bass. "Sure. As long as it's quiet."

Kijani made it to the auditorium, the music already getting her head nodding. Tonight was going to be awesome, she just knew it. "Now... dance floor or food?" She felt confident and beautiful in her dress.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Anyway, we should head in" Connor said, standing. When he nad recieved the suit, je didn't question how Anthony had managed to gather it all together. He knew, after all, that Money had a way of talking. But the difference was, Connor didn't show the fact that he had it. He preferred his shirts and jeans to anytjing else, and typically, he got them at the local clothing store. Nothing fancy. So the suit was perhaps the most expansive thing, abkut from his own super suit, that he had worn in a long time.

while he was uncomfortable in it, he knew how to walk in it well. So he walked into the gym as if it was the most natural thing in tne world to be wearing a white suit set for him. He looked about the gym, surprised at its change,

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani headed to the entrance, seeing many students doing the same. Many of them she didn't recognize. She caught a glimpse of white out of the corner of her eye, and looked. And then did a double take. "...Connor?!" She was caught off guard- unlike Anthony who always dressed well, and herself who preferred the high-end of things, she'd never seen Connor in anything more fancy than a pair of worn blue jeans. But this...

"...you look..." Surprising. Astounding. Delectable. "...good." Really good.

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor turned at the sound if his name, saw kijani, and smiled. She seemed genuinely surprised at him. He so wanted to shove his hands in his pockets, but decided against it. Apart from the sheepish effect it would have, he decided it would probably wrinkle the suit. And then there were the flowers to consider to. Weird to think of things like that.

"It really was nothing of my doing. I just put it on" he said instead "you look amazing"

[Mistress Dizzy]

Kijani chuckled. "So do you. You clean up very well, Mr. Stark." She gestured to the flowers. "Who're those for? Some special geeky girl in a gown?" She wouldn't be surprised if he had a date. He would be a nice guy for a nice girl.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Uh...well." He looked down at the flowers feeling like a fool. "Actually, no" he looked up, took a breath, "I guess they are for you" he continued quickly, "a thank you, even though you have spoiled noodles for me with real food. It was very good food" you are such a fool, he thought to hinself

[twave]

Estella had to think about that. We never had any celebrations like this. We had several events for me and my family at different times before the war broke out.

Kijani blinked several times, as if she hadn't heard him. "For... me?" To her surprise (and horror) her face started to go dark with a blush. "Oh... wow... no one's ever... done anything nice for me like that." A wobbly smile appeared on her face, and she fought down the little voice in her head that wondered 'what's the catch?'. "You're..." She bit her lip, suddenly feeling very out of her comfort zone. "Uhm... thanks." She gestured toward the dance floor. "Shall we? You and me will be the best dressed people in here."

[MarshiestMallow]

Connor let out a slow breath. She hadn't just laughed at him, like the last time he had tried anything at all with a girl, so that had to be something.

He nodded, "alright" he said, finding himself smiling, despite the impending doom of actually having to dance eventually.

Sue

Ryan hugged Sue. She had signed to her what she’d just read, and quite frankly she felt nothing with the hug. She was dejected. She did not want to do anything more. Not only could she not attend the ball with her passive sound-amplifying abilities and not only did her spirit get crushed by Mimic’s words and Sue’s lack of development, she just lost a friend. As much as she wanted to investigate and look for her, she…. simply just couldn’t do anything with her fatigue and sadness. One almost never combines these words together with Sue; it’s just unheard of. But it existed, and it’s taken Sue a very long time to bounce back.

She decided to leave Phoebe’s room, but before tidying it up and… leaving the note on her table top. She walked up to her floor when she saw a familiar face just outside her door, so well-dressed. It was Anthony. Of all people she expected, she did not expect Anthony. He was just always there for her for some reason and Sue looked and felt terrible and her mind is a mess and… she had no idea how she was supposed to get to her room. She wanted to be alone. She walked up to Anthony and tapped him on the shoulder, her face poofy and red, her hair a mess, with emotions of complete depression.

In the ball

Caits, the tall woman, walked up to the stage. “Thank you everyone for coming in tonight! We see a number of couples all decked-out with suave and beauty! Before I continue, I’d like to thank the Academy and of course our devilishly handsome principal Bruce Wayne for letting us host the Ball continually every year to celebrate the season of love!”

She paused for effect.

“And now, the slow-dance! Couples up on the floor, hurry hurry!”
