Children of Plunder (Space Pirate RP)

Scrap didn't want to spend most of the time fixing up what was below decks. She realized it would probably help most if she learned the ways around a ship engine. It wouldn't hurt to have some knowledge about what runs a ship in case something happens. It wouldn't be too hard for her either since she picked up on robotics and minor mechanics easily. Though it was a shame she didn't learn how to read or write to a full extent - that kind of skill wasn't needed out of her at the junkyards. But with joining a crew she hoped that someone here would possibly teach her something.

The bots that came with her whirred around her helping with repairs and before long she was finished with what could be repaired with what they had. She wiped what grease and oil she could from her face and hurried back to the engine room.

House of Powers (reboot)

Location: Lounge

Eliza had just a few seconds of peace when Cassius sat her down on the couch. She was feeling a lot better, the cool and calm atmosphere the lounge provided was helping with that. She calls out to Cass to share that bottle of whiskey he had just set down on the counter of the bar. Not a second later, lights beamed down from the ceiling and the lounge turned into the setting for a disco party. Eliza turned her eyes away from the lights when she hears Cass fall to the ground screaming, knocking over the whiskey.

Eliza's mind moved quicker than her body as she felt herself going slow to even stand up from the couch. Athena comes in and simply flicks off the lights before leaving the room, but that wasn't enough to help Cass who was still on the floor in pain. Before Eliza could say anything to her, she was already gone and Eliza grimaced at the girl's lack of aid to see if the poor guy was okay.

Once she was standing up, Eliza took deep breaths and walked towards the bar, avoiding the broken glass. She knelt down beside Cass who was shouting for someone to turn off the sound. Frantically, she looked around for the source of the music before one of the new faces from earlier comes in and smashes the stereo promptly stopping the music. Eliza flinched as pieces of shattered stereo joined the floor with the broken glass. She eyes at the new guy holding the stool in his hand.
"There had to be a better way to stop the sound you know." She said as she turns her attention back to Cass. She pours him a glass of water and sets it on the floor.

"You alright? Don't get up too quickly now." The wave of comforting hits Eliza awkwardly as she never once looked after another person. She then acknowledges Arthur walking in and commenting about how they should avoid keeping out of trouble and making messes. Something that she could agree with after what has happened within the last hour. When Bailey stumbles in and asks if they were all okay, Eliza takes a look around the lounge.
"Other than someone almost dying from exposure to a disco party and property damage occurring, I'd say we're good." Eliza sarcastically says as she starts to pour herself a Merlot from the bar. Then Arthur talks about his manifestation of power and there are hints that it could all be but a fabrication.

"I'm not even sure what happened to me should even be labeled as a "power". I was in my room when I picked up a pen and had something that felt like a huge stroke..." Eliza cuts in. She then wonders what could have triggered it.

"I had a drink of water from what my trainer gave to me. He could have drugged it and set off whatever happened to me. It wouldn't be crazy that they are setting all of this up... Who knows what happened at the pool could just be a simulation. They could be controlling the water, and watching us as it happens."

House of Powers (reboot)

Location: Pool ->

Eliza felt her left side slightly lifted and the weight of her body suddenly being shifted to someone holding her up. Her eyes briefly met the handsome man who had caught her eyes earlier. His name didn't come to her since the day moved so fast but with what was going on in the pool area it was the least of her worries for now.
"Th-thank." Was all she could muster as he walked her with him towards the rest of the commotion. And as the man addressed what Bailey was going on about, Eliza's eyes still fell to the shaped water helix dancing out of the pool. It looked like something you'd see in a Hollywood blockbuster film with CGI effects at work. But the past two days have been centered around one thing and now it was all coming to confirmation - powers. Athena walked in and asked them if they had all felt something different. Eliza rolls her eyes and turns her head at her while also nodding towards the pool.
"Guuessh." (Guess)

Sienna was the one who got closer to the helix and raised her hand towards it. Before Eliza could warn her about the dangers of touching crazy water magic, something sparked from Sienna's fingertips splitting the helix right in half. Eliza's eyes widened, her body felt numb and her head started to spin. It was fortunate that there was someone holding her up.
"I-I don't feel so good." Eliza's body involuntarily leaned more towards the guy, almost falling in on him.
There was way too much going on at the pool now, 3 more faces showed up including one of the new ones mentioned before. Then it all seemed to reach its peak when Bynie flips into the pool. Then there was more yelling coming from Bailey and the new guy he "numbed". Eliza was pretty sure Bailey was going to get the lights punched out of him. It all seemed like a conflict in a bad sitcom.

When Arthur helped Bynie out of the water and suggested they calm things down and talk it out, Eliza sighed in relief. She had no clue what was happening to her, what was happening to everyone else for that matter. It had only been a few minutes since what felt like a stroke hit her. Her mind was rattled which seemed to take an effect on the rest of her body. Her legs felt like jello - and not from something good. Eliza felt frustrated, she wanted answers. There was a possible number of scenarios she could think of on what was happening to her. On the top of her list was her being drugged by her ass of a trainer. The other option was her "powers" manifesting like some of the others. But whatever her power is, it must suck.

As people started to head out, Eliza looked to the man supporting her and placed the hand that wasn't wrapped around his shoulder on the arm closest to her. From her touch, she could tell that he was well-built like a sports athlete. The athletic clothes he wore also highlighted it.
"Thanks again, I honestly don't know what's happening with me..." Eliza tries to give him a smile but her lips trembled from shock. It was a good thing that her words were finally coming out not slurred and grammatically correct (for the most part).
"I feel bad not knowing the name of the man who is helping me out?" Eliza thought back to the time in the auditorium earlier and remembered why she was trying to avoid him in the first place. Her eyes shot away from him and head turned to the floor.

"We should probably head to the lounge now, mind helping me get there?" Eliza asked with her gaze avoiding his.
If he was wealthy, he'd know who she was- who her family is just by stating her last name. If he followed the social media scene or the party scene for the 1% - he'd also recognize her face if he tried hard enough. The last thing she wanted was for that side of her life to be known to the others - and if they reacted like her trainer did, her chance of ever getting away from her family name would be ruined. It was a blessing in disguise that no one else connected her to the Nyko Corp. But if it was brought to light she was associated with the people who made money off the blood and lives of others- who knows how they might see her. So she hoped that this guy wouldn't realize anything about her past life, or hopes that she can keep him quiet about it.

She shook her head at the worrisome thoughts. They should be the last thing on her mind. Right now it should be about potential powers. Eliza made a mental note to focus on solely that, it would make it easier for her to get away from her past life if she ignored those thoughts in the first place.
