Hal thought briefly about the predicament of locating a substitute teacher. Teachers, unfortunately, do not live at school, and the directory likely wouldn't have the brand-new sub in its listings.

"When was the last time someone got a phone book? Alden, you look like someone who buys stationary by the pound, where do you think we'd get a copy of a recent phone book?" Hal asked, rather openly. As if on cue, a golden book appeared in front of Hal, which to his dismay, had no writing upon its pages, but did effectively illustrate his prey. "Well... I guess the good news is that I can do that, whatever that is, exactly."

July's a rough month for me this year. Barely home. Definitely going to impact my ability to respond for a little.

@Ally610 Only if Mina can't handle mega-extroverts.

Mina: Hal enabler extraordinaire. I hope Mina's prepared for the can of worms she's opened now.

Hal will pick up how his powers work relatively quickly, but I figured it was sensible to leave him out of the loop on that info at the start. Hence the gauntlet stuck around a little longer than normal, since he wasn't consciously using his powers. Once he reins them in, and figures out how they work, it will be harder to maintain constructs. Focused power is bridled power.

"Right. Big, scary sky-thing. With lots of things for poking." Hal went to rub his chin with his right hand, and as soon as he made contact, he realized the gauntlet was gone. "It's... gone? Well, that's not unsettling. Gone as quick as it came, I suppose." He began to feel light-headed, and leaned gently upon nearby furniture. "So... do we think, maybe it was aliens? And, more important question: Can I punch the aliens? For sport, of course."

Hal looked to the others, hoping they might have something to add. In the meantime, however, he became slightly lost in his own daydreaming. What was going on? Did aliens really do all this? Will I really get to punch evil space aliens? I hope I get to punch evil space aliens. Just like the movies! Mmm... popcorn...

@pockets Yeah, I know, it's going away soon.

I had to beat Sophie to the ice breaker pun. She can't be the only one allowed to have a little fun!

"Woo, the gang's all here. At least, the ones we like. Up high!" Hal raises his spiked-gauntlet-clad hand to Richard for a high five.

CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE!

Richard Accepts (Good End)

"Aww yeah! That's what I'm talking about!" Hal fist-pumps, and turns to greet the newcomers formally.

Hal is Left Hanging (Bad End)

"Oh... Okay then. Right to business then. That's cool...." Hal kicks the metaphorical dirt before greeting the others.

"Something tells me that everyone could do with a little ice breaker." Hal raises his gloved fist, crushing some ice cubes inside it. No one is exactly sure where the ice cubes came from; only that they are now ice shrapnel, and all over the floor. "Now that that's out of my system, let's do this for real. I'm Hal, and I have this thing on my arm. Yes it is heavy, no, I can't take it off, and three, my favorite color is in fact yellow."

Once Hal was invited in, he thanked Kailey Callahan, referring to her of course as "Mrs. Callahan," before slipping down to the basement. He didn't bother knocking this time; he figured from Sophia's family that whatever she was wearing was the most clothes he'd get out of her. He instead threw the door open somewhat loudly.

"Richard. Sophia. Ah, no shirt. I was wondering what you'd be wearing. But, uh, nevermind that. You guys were at detention too. You were in that space ship, right? Have you noticed anything... strange? I certainly have."

Without even waiting for a response, he pulled back the sleeve of his hoodie, revealing the gilded gauntlet covering his right hand.

"You both were sick, right? Out like a candlelight in the dead of winter? Me too, and I'll bet everyone else is the same. I woke up with this both badass-and-also-unnerving thing this morning. We should probably, like, call everyone else and see if they're shooting fire out of their butts or something."
