Herculean Academy: Arc 1 - Welcome To The Academy

Al Reyes

Al heaved a sigh of relief after hearing his lack of computer was a matter of choice and not ruling. He liked reading too, but in the long game of alleviating boredom, he'd choose the internet any day. "Man, you almost scared me there," he admitted, "Last thing I wanna do is get the internet taken away. I'm not sure how long all my stuff would last without it." He chuckled a little. Al was obviously joking, but he did wonder if he'd have to, god forbid, be active should he run out of stuff.

He watched Zac's demonstrations of practical carbon applications with wonder in his eyes. "Whooooa. Dude, that is so cool," he commented with a grin.

Al Reyes

Al just gave Zac a thumbs up in response. Hey, he was getting off in the right foot with this guy and it only took, what, two, three minutes? Tops. He graciously accepted the pancake, grinned at Zac's apron, and sat down to eat. He didn't mind the lack of butter or syrup, though it definitely would have been better if they had some. "It's cool dude. It's nice enough of you to bother making pancakes to begin with." He grinned while he pondered what exactly the academy didn't want them bringing again.

Cut. Scoop. Chew. Swallow.

"Dang, no computer? What weren't we allowed to bring again?" Al asked. He was a bit concerned for the longevity of his phone and DS. Both were intended to be his primary forms of escape, and if a computer wasn't allowed, did that mean internet was off limits? Quite the horrifying thought.

On the subject of superpowers, he was caught a bit off guard. He wasnt used to discussing powers, what with the whole "dude you're weird thing" and all... That didn't mean he shouldn't be courteous here, though. Carbon... Carbon manipulation then? "That's how carbon works?" He asked, "Sounds sweet, dude. As for me..."

Al put his spoon down so that he could free up his hand to demonstrate. "Check out the floor," he told him. Zac would be able to see the shadows that the two were casting had grown noticeably darker and we're now wiggling about in a weird dancing move. "I can manipulate shadows. Make 'em darker, change their shape, I can even pull 'em out and mash them up like paper." He grinned as he finished his explanation, partially because he was free to discuss his powers and partially because he found that comparison to be pretty amusing.

Massive Multiversal Crossover

Geo and Omega-Xis - Castle Tepes

"Yes, ma'am. That sounds suitable to me." The young boy stood at attention and saluted to Saber. He figured that little extra flair would help him sound a bit more serious. A serious defense operation like this required a serious defense operative, after all. But, seriously, he had no problems with guarding out the interior of the castle. He wasn't some top grade martial artist or samurai, just a kid with a gun. And plenty of weapons to change that gun into. Running people down in a castle was fine for him. As for being paired with Gintoki...

Honestly, Gintoki didn't seem particularly reliable here if he was willing to ditch the whole mission, but he knows that the guy can pack a mean punch in that wooden sword of his. ...How exactly he can do that is still a mystery to him, but it's for that reason that he's willing to go ahead with it.

Omega-Xis had just as many qualms with this set-up as Geo. Which is to say, barely any. He knows they don't have giant huge missiles or laser beams or anything (at least not without the meteor server, but that's long gone) to pick off enemies from the outside, but he could hold the inside well if they aren't getting flooded. He was just as skeptical about being paired with Gintoki, however, but he figured he could just pick up the silver perm's slack if he fell behind. He could feel it in his... wave... parts. The part of the wave that gives him intuition. The... Bah, what he's getting at here is, "So long as we get to go buck wild on folks, I think it's fine too!"

Al Reyes

Al couldn't help but stifle a little laugh at the sight of his roommate. Not often you get to see something that looks like it came straight out of a cartoon. The boy got up to his feet and stretched out once more before attempting to pat his bed head down, suddenly feeling a bit self-conscious about his messy hair around someone he'd just met. That lasted a whole two seconds before deciding he can just deal with it.

Then Zac noticed he was up and at 'em already. He was apologizing for the alarm, but Al wasn't really a grudge dealer. Things happen, y'know? "Nah, don't worry about it..." Al responded, stifling a yawn after as he was still a bit sleepy. "If it weren't for that, I'd probably be sleeping in." And then he mentioned pancakes. Come to think of it, he did look like he was whipping something up... "Pancakes?" he asked, "Aw, dude, I'd love some. Thanks. Call me Al. It's short for Albert."

Blake Reyes

After spending a good deal of time sorting out his own wardrobe and personal belongings, Blake came to the conclusion that his roomies probably weren't getting up anytime soon. He didn't want them all to get off on the wrong foot by rudely waking them up, who knows how much of a morning person they were? But if he let them just sleep through the morning, it was a surefire way to get on their bad side he figured.

He didn't own an alarm clock, though... And he couldn't just set an alarm on his phone and leave it behind. Who knows what sort of emergencies could prompt the use of it? That left... His watch's pitiful, teeny tiny alarm. Honestly, that watch's alarm barely even fazes him when he needs it to, so its reliability was sketchy. But, it was looking more and more like the best third option he had between acting rude and acting thoughtfully.

So on that note, Blake simply set the watch to go off at 7 AM and left it on his bed. He pulled a sticky notepad out to leave a little note next to it as well. "Don't know when you two get up. Don't own an alarm clock either, so this is the best I can do. Sorry. Hope we can get along, though. -Blake"

That oughta get his intentions across. With that bit of his conscience clear, Blake set out to grab some breakfast at the cafeteria before moving out for his first class of the day. Which was... Biology! Yeah! Biology! The... The human body! Yeah... Yeah he couldn't get pumped for that if he tried. It sounded awfully boring, really. The classes after that, though... Those seemed a a lot cooler than boring old Biology.

Oh goodness no, I'm just terribly slow. I've been around the RP block a while, but prose has never been my particular forte. So many ways to describe stuff... Writing skills insufficient to write unrepetitive or dry descriptions...

And yeah, Splatoon. I've... I've been having awful luck in recent matches. We just keep getting bottle necked at the start and just get completely overwhelmed. Bwaaaaah.

As an aside, is it general rule of thumb to just quote people you're responding too? I... I don't do that. I don't really post on forums like these. I'm a migrant of the TV Tropes forum and there is no quote button system.

It's also kind of really simple looking to begin with so there isn't as much of a need, but I figured I should ask anyway.

Herculean Academy: Arc 1 - Welcome To The Academy

Ech, sorry on that. I've been busy these last few days and getting a post out just ends up falling off to the side.

I'm also an unfortunately very slow poster to begin with...

Terribly sorry. I'll try and get one up tonight after these rassin frassin squid kids get their turf inked.....

I'll probably just move Blake along in my next post too considering @IrishAngelQueen hasn't posted.

Herculean Academy: Arc 1 - Welcome To The Academy

Yahoo, got my post up.

Now excuse me as I writhe over how disproportionate the two lengths are.

Blake Reyes

The younger Reyes twin awoke on the dot at 6. Blake didn't have a need for an alarm, he just naturally woke up that early. Of course, that didn't mean he could get up that early. Some days he's just too tired for that, y'know? Last night he thought it'd be funny if he could spring up to his feet and get started on his day immediately, just to surprise his roommates. After the hectic move to the academy, though, he just didn't have it in him to try it.

Blake laid in bed for a few more seconds, rubbing the sand from his eyes and stretching out before finally rising up. He reflexively turned to one of his roommates' bed and groggily told them, "Al, get up, it's morning." He was confused at first by the lack of groaning or shifting coming from the bed. It took a couple seconds for his brain to catch up with him and relay that he wouldn't be bunking with his brother anymore.

Blake wasn't sure if this was necessarily a more pleasant change of pace, he hardly got a chance to say hello to his new roomies after all, but he welcomed it for now. He threw his covers off and walked over to his own luggage. He hadn't bothered unpacking when they got there, actually, he was more content to just throw his shoes off and hunker down for the night. I'll sort 'em out after a shower, he thought to himself.

One shower and clothes change later, that's exactly what Blake was up to. He figured it'd give him something to do until his roommates woke up. Maybe they could get breakfast together?

Al Reyes

The older Reyes twin woke up later than his younger brother, though a bit more rudely than Albert was used to. When Zac's alarm went off, it startled him awake from his face down position on his pillow. He grunted and slowly pushed himself up on his elbows before just turning over drowsily. Al wasn't used to alarm clocks. He didn't typically need one usually when his brother could stand in for one.

Reaching down for the phone at his side to check the time, deciding that as long as it wasn't six, he could get used to this new wake up time. With a deep breath, he pushed himself up and slid to the side of the bed, scratching at his disheveled bed head. He noticed that his roommate was up and asked him, "That your alarm?"
