Gwen let out an eep as she heard the door open and rolled off Lilian onto the floor, bow already in hand, almost completely in the nude. She blinked a moment before smiling and saying, "Oh, hey Moko, what's up? You look like you could use a drink and some relaxation, I'm sure Lilian wouldn't mind one more, would you?." She pulled out the bottle of decent brandy she had been given and set it on the desk as she looked at lilian with a gleam in her eyes.

"He was fighting with Kojo and another girl." says Lucy, who was there but evidently not noticed by Jenni.

"I came here to see what happened. If Kojo is going to be his boyfriend, I'd like to not learn he's an abusive violent prick.

So really, what DID happen between you two?" Lucy asks Jōtarō

>>15859

Azzy was looking down while walking to the magic labs. Suddenly the Young Necromancer was on the ground, after running into a cyborg. "Ow, wh-what was that for?"

>>15912

Kojo, in the midst of his angst, hadn't seen where he was walking. The bump hurt his still bruised chest, jolting him from thoughts. "I-I'm sorry miss, I wasn't looking where I was going. I haven't been having the best day. My mistake for that." Kojo extended a hand to the girl on the floor. "My name's Kojo."

>>15913

Azzy got up off the floor, ignoring the hand offered and dusted off the now dirtied clothes. "Azzy, y-you're that guy w-with all those p-posters around school aren't y-you? J-just cause you're popular d-doesn't mean you can kn-knock people over in the hallway. E-even if you're h-having a b-bad day. B-besides what could someone l-like you, have a b-bad day over, l-lost your favorite ch-charger?"

>>15914

Kojo looked around the hallway. His posters covered the wall. This was popularity? So far all he had managed was to incite aggression. "It's a pleasure to meet you Azzy. It's actually a long story, and it's really has been painful in both a physical and… emotional way. Do you want to hang out? I mean, you probably were going somewhere, but I just thought it'd be fun…" Kojo gives a sort of weak grin, trying to signal his good intentions.

For some reason, Lucy was distracted from her conversation with Jotaro.

The muscled woman was walking somewhere, it almost seemed like she was. . .sniffing the air?

She could smell it.

The Booze.

The Sweat.

The Sex.

Hoooooooly fuck who was doing this and why wasn't I there?

Then she saw it. Moko's door. Oh god she could hear it!

She raised a meaty fist ready to pummel the door in and just as she was inches away from smashing it to pieces her fist stopped.

And she gently reached down to open the doorknob (wow do these people not know how to lock a door?)

>>15916

"Ah he looks like he could use a friend, reminds you of someone doesn't it?" Azzy heard Remmy whisper. Azzy winces visibly, dammit this was supposed to be Lab time.

Azzy takes a long shuddering sigh, sure that thie s event will be looked upon with regret later, even if Remmy had a point. "S-sure, you can T-tell me about it while we grab a sn-snack from the cafeteria." Azzy could see the guy needed a friend, which means he must have been in a pretty bad way. Azzy usually misses social cues like that.

>>15920

"Alright," Kojo said, heading in the direction he believed the cafeteria may have been in. "This is the right way, right? My sense of direction has been off today and I kicked a door in that wasn't mine."

>>15921

Azzy just looks at the boy in awe of such lunacy. It takes a second to recover. "Y-yes this is the way. Sh-shouldn't you have a m-map?" Regardless Azzy leads the quite possibly brain damaged boy to the cafeteria and grabs some small snacks from it. Free ones of course.

Hiltama wanders the hall until she runs into someone.(someone else initiate)

>>15922

"I mean, it wasn't entirely my fault that it happened, you know, it's part of the story. And my map is in my room." Kojo picks up a snack, whatever was sweetest, and ate it in just a few, large bites, finishing it in just seconds. "You see, it all started when a pervert tried groping another student. At the same time, she was a magical girl, and likely would've killed him with magic. I ended up deescalating the situation. Of course I was flying around the room with spring shoes, and the whole thing disoriented me. I haven't had a chance to go get my map yet."

>>15924

Azzy just looks at the boy, while shoveling in ramen. warm food, even cheap is better than cold squirrel. This boy was not bright, in fact Azzy doubted if he could survive on his own. "You r-realize the rooms a-are numbered, right? S-so who's d-door did you knock down, a girl's, a S-senior's?"

>>15926

"I'm not entirely sure what year she was… First year actually, I saw her uniform. Her name is Lucy. She bruised me up pretty bad. So then what happened was Lucy threatened to cripple me if I mistreated my friend Moko, who Lucy thought was my girlfriend. She is now because as a result, i ended up breaking up with my girlfriend, Lilian, who I think I might have broken up with anyways, but I still feel bad for it. Additionally, I don't know if Moko is even okay with this really. She seemed somewhat nervous about it."

>>15927

Azzy drops the spoon s/he was using to eat ramen. He what?!?! that was just, just just, Azzy didn't know how to deal with this. As Azzy applied a vigorous facepalmed Remmy started whispering advice. "Wow this guy is a moron isn't he? Yikes, you have better social skills. He really should apologize to his girl and clear stuff up with that Moko and Lucy. Don't ya think." Azzy groaned softly, this would mean dealing with more people. But leaving this guy alone would only lead to more headaches. He was like a retarded puppy. Dammit why couldn't people be more like the dead? It'd make things so much more simple.

""L-listen, you n-need to clear this u-up with Moko and Lucy. A-also you need to ap-p-p-ologize to your girlfriend. So wh-what we-re going to d-do is finish our snacks and find one o-of them t-t-t-to get the ball rolling. Now shut up and eat."

Azzy picks up the spoon and starting shoveling in the ramen at an even greater pace.

>>15928

"I already did apologize, and I'm scared of Lucy, she has dislocated my pinky finger and threatened to end me. I mean, I guess we can go if you want. I just don't want to die." Kojo just sort of stares at his empty candybar wrapper. "I already finished eating."

>>15929

"S-s-somehow I doubt you apologized in a proper way. A-as for Lucy? If you d-don't get it cleared up between you, her and M-moko you'll get in tr-trouble eventually anyways."

Azzy wonder how Moko the lazy got mixed up in this at all. Mystery for another time. Right now he had to put the cyborg onto the path of logic and sense. This could be harder than killing that familiar swarm. Azzy finished the ramen off and disposed of what was left in the trash can.

"A-alright, f-f-ollow me."

Azzy headed to the girls first wing heading for this Lillian's room when he heard a noise and several voices. Including the boisterous voice of that very well muscled girl Azzy accidentally groped day one. Azzy gulped, it's been several days and nothing happened so it's probably safe. "L-lucy is in here, y-you should talk to her." and Azzy opens the door.

Kojo attempts to investigate the ball of humans from a closer position. So many bodies, he has trouble recognizing faces. They seem to fail to notice him with whatever it is they're doing. Upon getting closer, one hand or another grabs hold of Kojo, likely by mistake. He is pulled into the pile of bodies. [KOJO'S AMAZING SEX ROLL]

While walking the halls Hiltama manages to once again run chest first into someone else just as she turns a corner, accidentally pushing the boy into a wall. She steps back and looks down at a Italian boy before facepalming. Can she NOT run into someone like that or is it just curesed to happen at this place?!

Hiltama runs a hand through her hair before reflexively shaking the long purple locks on her head and blinking her exotic eyes.

"Im sorry I didnt see you there. Are you alright?"

>>15932

Sigh s to herself, utterly confused and exhausted. This was getting out pf hand, especially with kojo now getting into the mix. Shit. This is gonna be a lot of fucking work to get out of, she thought to herself as someone did something with her body. She was honestly too lazy to care.

>>15932

>>15933

[GM Ruling]

Kojo and Azzy fail to gain access to the room due to the now reinforced door.

>>15935

[Changing how Kojo got in because reinforced door.]

Kojo gives a sharp knock on the door. "Hello? I'm supposed to come talk to people!" He begins knocking on the door a few more times.

>>15937

When no one comes to the door, Kojo begins to slam his fists against it. "HEY MOKO ARE YOU IN THERE!? SOMEONE LET ME IN!"

>>15938

Eyes widen at the mentioning of her name. Shit. Shit. Ugh. Uh. Crap. Slipping through the mess, she practically crawls her way to the door, finding and putting her dress shirt over herself.

She looks at the door, before responding.

"Uh. Yeah. You dont wanna come in here. Only bad times beyond this point"

>>15937

>>15938

>>15893

"Ugh. . .Moko it's your /boyfriend/" Lucy says, looking her in the eyes. "You want I should do something about him?"

>>15939

"Sure, I guess, what are we doing in here?" Kojo follows behind Moko into the room WHERE THERE IS NO HAPPINESS.

>>15918

Gwen was shocked when Lucy barged in and leaped into the threesome, making it a foursome, well that was certainly a surprise.

>>15938

Then her eye started twitching at the pounding on the door, "FUCK OFF!" great her almost perfect day was quickly going down the drain because of a meathead.

-~You could probably take him out easily and get back to business~- I'm really starting to think about it.

>>15942

"Look, I'm really sorry. I just met this girl and she said come talk to people. Can I please stay? I promise I won't cause any trouble."

Disentangled herself from what she was hoping to become her girlfriend and extras her face contorted into a rictus of irritation and rage as she grabbed her bow.

"You're not welcome in here," She practically hissed at Kojo, blocking his line of sight to Lilian with her body as an arrow started to form in her hand, "Leave, now!"

>>15941

The door remains tightly locked. Moko isn't really sure of anything. It just seems that people don't want Kojo in here. She sorts just sighs and stands there. "Uh. Kojo. You dont want me to open the door"

>>15946

>>15947

"Moko, please let me in. I really need to talk. Please let me in."

>>15948

>>15947

"Oh yes, let him in," Gwen ground out, "I want a clear shot of his fucking face." She was standing with an arrow knocked in her bow, the arrow made from lightning.

>>15948

"This is a really bad time. I mean. Seriously. Really bad time. Uh. Yeah. Lets not do this right now."

Moko sounds a little conflicted and worried, breaking her usual monotone.

>>15949

>>15950

"I think I heard someone say let me in. Please Moko. It's important." Kojo slumps against the door. "Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee."

Open the door then and end the conversation.

>>15951

>>15950

Gwen growled as she finally just said, "Just go see what the fuck he wants so he can go the fuck away, and make it quick before I decide to turn him into the 'Chosen Pincushion' especially for what he did to Lilian."

>>15951

Shit. Shit. Uh. Alright, hes not leaving. Gotta think of something or some way to stall so that they can finish and get ready.. Throwing on her underware, a idea popped into her head. Not a idea that worked for her, but a idea that sorta worked for everyone else.

"Uh… Okay, I have a idea.. Beat one of us in a fight…"

Turning back to the others, Moko shrugs. "We can get ready while who ever he picks fights, right?"

>>15959

>>15958

Kojo surveys the room, realizing that quite a few people, including Lilian, were here. He points at the girl with the bow. "I'm going to fight you." He gives a sort of half smile as his arm takes on its melee form, a sword. "So where are we fighting?" He readies his spring shoes in case of a SURPRISE ATTACK.

>>15960

Gwen let out a hiss of frustration as she rubbed her forehead, "Fine, I'll fucking fight him." She let the magical arrow dissipate and thrust the hand clenching her bow into the air grimacing a bit as she called out her transformation phrase,

"Pretty archer princess power!"

-~Wow didn't think you were THAT mad~- I'm seriously considering murder right now

She then walked out of the room, eyes seething with rage and hatred, mostly at her magical girl outfit and how revealing it was.

>>15899

[Jenni]

Jenni looks surprised. "Oh, sorry, I didn't see you there Luce."

"Yeah, Jotato, give us the rundown." She looks curious and seems to tilt her head as she listens. "Do you have powers or whatever? I'm pretty much the only one here that doesn't have any. I mean, physical powers, anyway. I have some skills, I suppose. They're alright."

Jenni notices Lucy bolt from the room. "Where is she going? Man, people are acting weird in this academy.."

[Calling out a challenge in the middle of the girls' dorm roll.]

>>15962

"Oh boy, a ranged fighter! You're going to be fun to fight!" Kojo has regained some of his composure. "We should maybe go fight somewhere that isn't here. Y'know? I've already destroyed a hallway today and I think combat might be better in an open space. The gym should be fun for you to shoot at me in!" Kojo fails to recognize the girls rage, and instead thinks she is feeling the same hype for this battle as he is.

>>15963

"Oh me? I practice the killing art Hokuto shinken it's why I wasn't really planning on fighting the boy that shot at me,but enough about me. I don't remember seeing you around before and I'm positive I would remember a face as pretty as yours, so care to introduce yourself?" Jōtarō said softly as he stifled a yawn. "I must agree people have been acting pretty strange since I got here." He added commenting on her statement that people were weird here.

>>15960

>>15962

Laughs her creepy laugh as she relaxes. Oh man. She thought Kojo would have picked her. Well, good for me. Less work.

"Uh. I guess I'll referee the uh, fight. Uh, Make sure they dont get out of control"

Barely dressed to decency, she waits to follow them.

>>15966

[Jenni]

"Oh, uh. Jenni. Nice to meet you. I've been around, I've just been…uh, well, I have a group of students that want to black bag me for some stuff I did in the Cascades a few years back." The laughs to herself. "I guess I'm not exactly normal around here despite my status of quote 'normal'." After that she sort of flicks her hair - she's not used to flirting with men and it seems to show pretty clearly. Her eye twitches a little bit. "When you get out you should head over to boxing club. I'm trying to get better at it."

>>15964

Doors across the floor open at the sound of Kojo's challenge. Most of the girls look rather irate that they've been disturbed. Two step out into the hallway, one wearing what look like pajamas, the other her school uniform minus the jacket that identifies her year.

"Disciplinary Committee! What the hell are you doing in the girl's dorms demanding a- YOU!" She points at Kojo, and her expression isn't even remotely friendly. "You're the one from that fight in the hallway! Haven't you learned your damned lesson?" A light shines from a small implant, and she pulls a small black rod from seemingly nothing. With a flick of her wrist, it reveals itself as a retractable baton.

"You have less than TWO seconds to explain yourself before I send you to the ICU to drink out of a STRAW!"

>>15970

Gwen glanced at the disciplinary committee member before stepping back and saying, "He kept trying to force himself into my room, while I'm trying to console the girl he just dumped like the colossal meathead he is, despite the many times I told him no and to 'Fuck off' and if you don't take care of him I'm probably going to."

>>15969

"If it means I get to fight you, then sure I think I might just do that, maybe if you're lucky I can teach you a thing or a two." He continued speaking softly and closed his sentence with a wink and stretched out. a bit yawning slightly "Oh you aren't leaving are you? I was hoping you'd keep me company gets a bit boring around here with no one to talk to and I could use the company of such a beautiful girl like yourself." He added as he looked her in the eyes with a pleading sort of look.

>>15970

>>15971

"Now I know what you're THINKING. That I was here to talk to my EX GIRLFRIEND. Instead, I was here to talk to MOKO, my girlfriend I DID NOT DUMP. I was suggested I come to talk to her and a number of others in order to square away a series of misunderstandings that are occurring today. Surely you understand the misunderstanding occurring here in this moment. I just came to talk. As far as the fight goes, it was suggested by Moko, that I face one of them to gain entry to the room. I could not see who was inside, so I simply called out for them to send someone. I was simply complying with the suggestion, not trying to instigate anything."

>>15945

>>15934

The poor Italian boy has been knocked out! Oh no, did you break his nose or give him a concussion!? He's bleeding all over his shirt, and there is even blood on your blouse!

[Phil]

Trapped between an enveloping wall of titflesh and a solid, painful wall, you are mercifully prevented from snapping your neck as blood rushes from your nose like one of those old Saturn Five launches! You still pass out for a moment, though!

>>15973

Jenni sort of blushes. "Uh….uh…yeah..I guess I can stay with you a bit. I mean, Lucy is probably beating someone up or something and I don't have anything else to do." She sits on a nearby stool and crosses her legs. "How did you wind up here anyway? For me it was the rope, or here. No choice, really." She sighs. "Of course, it could be worse. Spain's trying to extradite me right now."

At this point Jenni is playing with the ends of her sleeves and looks down slightly before returning to eye contact. She's visible unnerved.

>>15975

>>15945

Oh snap! Hiltama jumps back from the sudden blood before grabbing the boy before he hits the ground. Jesus christ is this kid okay?! Hiltama picks him up and immediately heads to the infirmary with him while thinking: "I hope I didnt just kill someone…."

>>15979

I don't think you want to hear how I ended up here. Honestly as I'm looking at you I can't see how anyone could label you a war criminal ." Jōtarō said reaching up to his bandage and taking the stupid thing off as it had been bothering him revealing his left eye was a fetching shade of gold that contrasted well with his right eye which was red. "Alright that's better damn thing was starting to bother m can finally see you better now as well, I must say you look even more beautiful now that I can see you with both eyes" Jōtarō said cracking a smile and trying to reassure/comfort the girl as she was looking a bit put off by something.

>>15974

The brows of a shocking number of women on the floor twitch at the mention of your EX GIRLFRIEND and the one you DID NOT DUMP.

"You just ruined a hallway in the school by getting into a fight, and now you barge into the girl's dorm to conclude that FIGHTING SOMEONE TO GAIN ENTRY TO A ROOM is a GOOD IDEA?"

The girl in pajamas laughs, pulling out what looks like a phone. "I could just kill him. The Faculty can't exactly expel a magical girl."

"Shirley, you can't talk like that while I'm here!"

"Then deal with him before I do. The kid is obviously an idiot if he dumped a girl that caught Miss Masters' attention."

With an angry sigh, the Disciplinary Committee member walks up to Kojo and grabs him by the ear. "We're taking a walk to the Dean's Office, Kojo. If you resist, you'll only make it worse."

>>15987

>>15974

Moko is over come with a mixture of mortification and anxiety. Holy crap, bad idea.

"This is why I dont make plans…"

She mumbles to herself, ducking out of the commotion. This is… Way too much effort. She takes a short cut from Gwen's room to her own, and proceeds to start running a shower.. Crap, she thinks to herself as she lays down on the tub, letting the rain hit her. Hopefully, i dont get into trouble. That would really, really suck.

>>15987

"I'll go along, no use resisting authority. And please let go of my ear though." Kojo sort of eyes Moko worriedly. "I'll see you later I guess."

>>15987

Gwen was still irritated as she watched Kojo get pulled out of the hallway. She then sighed in frustration as she turned to Shirley and smiled slightly, "Hey, I see you're out of the infirmary, I wasn't exactly told what happened but from what I could gather it was a mess, are you allright?"

>>15985

Jenni puts on a demure look and squints her eyes a bit. "Yeah….Jotato. I'd better get going before disciplinary finds me here. Feel better, okay? I'll see you around campus. I should really go." With that Jenni stands and leaves the room.

>>15990

She pulls at your ear. Hard. "No."

Once she has you out of the girl's dorm, she lets go and stops. "Get out of here before I change my mind, and never let me catch you on my damned floor again." She heads back inside.

>>15991

"Medicine has really improved, you know. Only Liz is still out of action, and they say her fingers should actually be possible to regenerate. A shame we lost most of the stuff they were researching in Japan."

Shirley sniffs the air around Gwen, her eyes narrowing as she begins to grin. "You mind if I grab a bottle and come over? Smells like you're up to no good, and that one bottle can't be enough to get your little party good and drunk."

>>15993

Gwen looked at Shirley for a moment before shrugging, "Sure why not, I'm sure Lilian wouldn't mind another to help, 'comfort' her."

>>15994

Shirley laughs. "I'll grab some more drinks while you change. See you in a few minutes!"

>>15997

Gwen nodded and walked back in her room before de-transforming with a sigh. She looked at Lilian and Lucy with a wry grin and said, "Well, that's taken care of and we're gonna have more booze."

>>15993

Kojo goes to the council member's door, knocking on it. "Wait, did you say you can get me in with the dean? Come back out! I've been meaning to speak with him about something." He began to rapidly knock on it in an attempt to draw her out."IT'S A MATTER OF SCHOOL SAFETY!"

>>15998

"Booze?" Lilian wrinkles her nose. "Honestly I'd rather have some–ah, fuck it, sure," she says, attempting to situate herself in a slightly less debauched position. She'd been biting her lip and hiding under a pillow as she heard Kojo outside, but was now somewhat recovered.

"Anyone else joining us?"

>>16013

"Shirley's bringing more booze, and maybe we can entice her into the bed, she's another magical girl and where I originally got this bottle," Gwen said as she lay next to Lilian, "Anyways, I'm sorry we got interrupted by the blockhead, if you'd like I'm sure we could get Lucy here to break his fingers for you."

"Well, that settles that." Lucy says with a satisfied look on her face.

"Well, so much for true love." says Lucy watching Moko hurriedly leave.

"Girl must have been dissapointed her boyfriend couldn't get in. Not that that would be a very appealing idea. . .

Or the pressure of this goddamn hodgepodge got to her."

>>16013

"I don't think we've properly met. . .Lillian? My name is Lucy.

Wait, don't you know Ko- fuck it. I don't care about him right now.

I think we have better ways of getting aquanited."

>>15993

>>15998

"I literally can never say no to the idea of more booze. Girl, you better get your booze and your ass in here!"

>>16016

"That wouldn't be something new to me that's for sure.

Now where were we. . ."

Clearly, we were so RUDELY INTERRUPTED BY A CYBORG before that clearly explains why all our rolls sucked.

Now that we aren't interrupted and have this new chick in the room, it's time for a NEW ROLL.

>>16016

>>16020

"Hi Lucy! I'm Lilian," she says with bubbly enthusiasm. "It's lovely to meet you, hehe." She, too, does her best to forget about Kojo the blockhead and chokes back a little tear.

"Sounds wonderful, Gwen–hehe, maybe we \can\ show her a good time~."

>>16009

Kojo quickly leaves the scene, recognizing that this would likely end with more problems than it was worth. It was such a pain dealing with people who had it out for him.

Sneaking doesn't come naturally to a guy that's almost seven feet tall and weighs more than most refrigerators. Despite this handicap, Alexei manages to move fairly quietly.

Dressed in his black track suit and carrying a large wooden chest of silverware, he cuts a strange figure cutting across the school grounds. The dark campus is perfect for his purposes, transferring all the necessary supplies for a traditional Russian feast to what was described to him as the "best place to be alone" by one of the girls in the Cooking club. Alexei spots a figure in the darkness coming towards him, close enough to Amanda's silhouette to cause a pang of worry to shoot through him. Massive thighs bunching, he sprints off into the bushes nearby

>>16059

"HEY YOU!" Kojo shouts at the bushes, where a figure has just moved, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Kojo sets off his spring boots in an attempt to jump closer, however flings himself against the person hiding in the bushes. "How's it going?" Kojo asks, now looking up at the figure.

>>16062

With the instinct born from a lifetime wrestling, Alexei flips the form over his back as it impacts him. The legs feel to be modified in some way, replaced for some reason with cold metal. Adjusting for this imbalance, the figure sails in a spin to land on its feet. The musculature leads Alexei to operate under the assumption that the figure is in fact male.

Releasing a breath he didn't know he was holding, Alexei moves to stand in front of the chest. "Who are you, robot man?"

"I am Kojo Monomolonotoroko, first year Techno-Enhanced. I'm not a robot. And who are you, shady criminal?"

>>16069

"Alexei Klokov. Son of Anastasia, grandson of Dmitry Klokov. I am wrestl-I was wrestler. Alexei magical boy now." Squinting in the dim light, a look of recognition crosses the Russian's rugged features.

"You are poster boy. Yes!…Why do you have poster?"

>>16073

"Well, it was to achieve a level of recognition, but I've begun to think it was a mistake." Kojo looks the figure over, his eyes beginning to adjust. "So, Alexei, how is it you became a magical boy? Why'd you stop wrestling?" Kojo was interested in the Alexei. He was interesting, and the first person that day Kojo could hold a real conversation with.

>>16075

"I was wrestler since birth, da? Grandfather Dmitry was couch, always pushing for more. Better. Stronger. Was hard life, but good. Always happiest when grandfather was smiling. Was greatest wrestler in Russia, before magic came. Then, poof!" Alexei's hands suddenly pop open, illustrating his point. "No more wrestling. Must come to Academy instead. Gem appeared too." Unzipping his tracksuit top, Alexei reveals the electric blue gem embedded between his pecs.

>>16078

"Have you tried starting a wrestling team or anything? I haven't looked around for one, but if there isn't, you could start one." Kojo gives a grin. "I'd join it. You seem like a cool guy to be around. I've had a bad day, but talking to you has already put me in a much better mood, y'know?" Kojo is now practically beaming.

>>16079

"Am banned for life. Beside, there is already a wrestler club. Cooking club also take so much time, no time left for other club after class, exercise, cooking, and eating. Roboman can come lift weights with Alexei if he want. Help make arms strong as steel. Hah!" Alexei brushes the dirt off his tracksuit and stands, the black fabric stretching across his wide frame. Bending over, he lifts the chest easily off the ground. "Friend must excuse me, must bring this to roof. Cooking dinner for girls of Cooking club tomorrow."

>>16082

"Ha, maybe some time then. See you Alexei." Kojo strolls off casually, in a much better mood than he was previously.

>>15998

>>16013

>>16020

A note is slipped under the door. "I apologize for the interruption in your day. I was trying to help Kojo properly apologize to his ex-girlfriend and to straighten out a misunderstanding between him, Moko and a girl named Lucy. I completely underestimated the depths of hid idiocy. I hope you have a nicer rest of you day."

Azzy then walks off back to cafeteria for another snack.

>>15980

Suddenly coming awake mid trip to the infirmary.

Phil notices first that he is being carried like a child and second that its the same girl who managed to knock him out earlier.

"C-c-c-can you put me down please"

>>16016

>>16020

Shirley knocks on the door once before slipping into the room in her flannel pajamas.

"So I heard you bitches were having a drinking party in here! Look what I've got!" A bottle of bourbon is held in each of her hands. "I'm Shirley, by the way."

Name: Krieg [ACHILLES_2-Model_C] Meadows

Gender: Male

Race:Cyborg; German

Age: 19 (Mental Age); 2 (Shell Age)

Fluff: Krieg Meadows, age 19, is the sole heir to the Meadows family fortune made through advanced weapons manufacturing company, ARES. At the age of 12, during a weapons testing 'accident,' Krieg was left in a catatonic state caused by a minor explosion. Little body remained intact. Foul play was later assumed by share holders of ARES, attempting to take the fortune Krieg would gain by killing Manson's only son, however no proof existed and the claims were dropped.

For the next few years, Krieg's mind was implanted into a sort of host android body referred to as ACHILLES_1, however the replacement body was considered frail by Krieg's father, Manson Meandows. As such, several attempts to integrate weaponry into ACHILLES_1 were made, and Krieg would ultimately become a sort of test subject for many of the newer weapons developed by ARES. At the age of 16, it was decided to start on an ACHILLES_2, a more combat capable variant of Krieg's first robotic body that would able to both combat threats and resist them. This process would consist of 3 models before finally being successful, and additional modifications to Model C would take an another two years before actually being complete.

During the time Krieg was worked upon, he had developed some level of combat skills and maneuvers. It was due to his extensive closeness to military combat as well as actual interaction with such weapons and tools, that his interest in combat developed and would lead to an innate desire to join one of the 'Apocalypse Academies' around the world. Although the idea was initially dismissed by his father, Manson, it was ultimately accepted when proposed as a chance to 'showcase the ARES brand' to potential buyers.

". . .well what are you bitches waiting for?

Get ready for the best damn sleepover EVER."

>>16085

Sometime during the night, the figure of Azzy was seen slipping the note under the door. Just as Shirley walked in and stepped on the note, Lucy saw the lone figure walking away, recognizing his attire.

It was that one awkward kid. No not Moko, the other one.

Lucy slipped the note into her pocket. She'd read it some other time, there is a fucking party going on.

>>15985

THE VERY NEXT DAY

Short summary:

Hangover

Headaches

Ears ringing, too much noise.

And everyone drank all the goddamn booze again. No, wait, that was probably me.

Lucy desperately needed some of the hair of the dog that bit her. Hoping to beg and plead the nurse at the infirmary for the slightest bit of alcohol they could spare to help deal with this MASSIVE FUCKING MIGRAINE.

"If I don't get something, my brain is going to bust a pick-axe through my head. . ."

Unfortunately, it was very early in the morning and, as typical, the nurse wasn't even in the booth. All she could do was wait and mingle around with the other actually sick people.

>>16106

Jōtarō was ecstatic he could finally leave that stupid fucking infirmary,but he made sure to make it worth his while by snagging a bottle of pure ethanol. As he made his way out he ran into a girl he didn't recognize and stopped to chat. "Oh…hey..don't think I've seen you around before?" Jōtarō said looking up and down the girl's figure. "So what're you doing in the infirmary?" He asked awaiting a response.

>>16113

Jōtarō didn't so much run into Lucy as he ran straight into a massive fleshy wall, which BUMPED back and knocked him on the ground.

"Ugh. . .shut the fuck up. . .I'm having a brutal headache right now and unless the next words that come out of your mouth are 'I have some alchohol' get out of my fucking way."

>>16115

Actually funny you say that, as I actually snagged some ethanol on my way out,but I'm afraid it's not free and I hadn't planned on sharing . That is unless you can offer me something for it." Jōtarō said pulling the ethanol out of his pocket the label listed it as 200 proof pharmaceutical grade.

>>16119

Lucy's eyes widened at the bottle, but then her head registered his words.

"W- why you fucking smarmy son of a bitch?

If my head weren't about to shatter from, I'd put my hand through your head and take the fucking bottle.

Gimme the damn bottle, what the fuck do you even want?"

>>16120

"Oh would you now? I find that highly amusing you expect me to even give you the bottle without even offering something to me. You know come to think of it I'm feeling a bit parched." Jōtarō said with a devilish grin as he opened it and took a long swig. "Better answer fast lest I decide to drink the whole thing." he continued wiping his mouth with his sleeve.

"Hey Shirley, I'd say come in but you've made yourself at home." Gwen said as she grinned, not bothering to dress any further than her underwear.

"This is Lucy," She introduced the hulking girl, "And this lovely woman is Lilian, the one who needed to be comforted, I'm so glad you came, because I'm almost too angry to do any proper comforting right now."

>>16089

Hiltama notices the guy waking up and shakes her head. "No, you nearly bled out on me, and I have to make sure your safe." As such Hiltama continues rushing him to a nurse.

>>16122

Even as the last words left his lips Jōtarō exhaled and nearly puked as a GIANT FIST grabbed him around the chest and lifted his body up like a doll, Lucy uses her other hand to pinch the tiny bottle from his hands and guzzle down the contents before tossing the bottle with a crash on the ground.

"Goddamn that feels BETTER." Lucy says, her face visibly relieved from her headache, grinning as she gripping the japanese boy in her fist even tighter as he struggled.

"Let me tell you who I am. I am LUCY. If I fucking want something I TAKE IT. And I don't take shit!" she hisses. "Especially from assholes like you.

I could break you into a pulp if I wanted." Jōtarō feels the iron cage of fingers shrink around him.

"But before I do that, how about you tell me what you can offer to me so I don't turn you into tomato paste."

Lucy relaxes her vice, as Jōtarō intakes a much needed breath of air, coughing and sputtering.

He had better pick his next words. . .wisely.

>>16127

>THE NIGHT BEFORE

Lucy nods her head, having been similarly undressed.

>>16131

Holy fuck…you caught me off guard…honestly…..I…can…t…think….of…anything…besides…more….booze….." Jotaro said hoping the offer of more booze would be good enough for her to put him down, his attitude was calm for someone who was being crushed a fire burned in his eyes. A fire that burned with a bit of admiration and respect mixed with hatred.

>>16133

"All you needed to say."

Lucy released her grasp, letting the body of Jotaro fall to the floor. But she doesn't let go of him completely.

Still gripping his hand, she pinches both palms between two fingers and painfully lifts him up by his arms to face level.

"You're going to get your booze. You're going to bring it to my room. You are going to knock on the door, and put the booze in my hand.

Or I will hunt you down and play nine rounds of golf with your testicles. And I take my word seriously."

Lucy tosses Jotaro aside and moves on her way.

"I fucking hate golf" she mutters.

>>16127

>>16131

Shirley eyes the poorly clad ladies. "You know, we really need to have a talk about proper attire for parties, Gwen. You're supposed to strip after the booze gets you nice and warm." She sets down one of the bottles and pulls out a pack of cards.

"What is your poison for drinking games? Ooooor…" She shakes her breasts at Gwen a bit. "Are you thinking you'll just ravage poor defenseless Shirley? She'll have you know she is in a committed relationship, and ALL of you need to keep your hands off the goods!"

Opening the bottle still in her hand, she takes a swig. "Doesn't mean I can't hold anyone down, though."

>>16136

>>16137

Gwen blinked as she looked at Lilian before groaning slightly to herself and hitting her with a pillow, "You deserved that."

She looks at Shirley and shrugs saying, "Well if you're not willing that's your choice, I hadn't intended on this being more than just me and Lilian at first anyways, and then everyone showed up, and then the blockhead, and then I got pissed and transformed, and ho-boy I need a drink."

With that she grabbed her bottle of brandy and began chugging it down.

>>16135

[morning] Jotaro gathered/nicked more bottles of ethanol and found his way to lucy's room. He knocked and awaited a response he would than hand over all the bottles he had procured.

>>16138

>>16137

"Poor Gwen! A victim of her own womanly charms and the dark desires of her pure heart!" Shirley dramatically puts the back of her hand to her head. "Alas, we barely knew her outside of a carnal sense before her own perversion took her life in a tragic card duel!"

"On the topic of bad puns and references, did you hear the rumor that there is apparently some blue-eye'd magical boy with a big old white dragon in his pants? Apparently the Cooking Club is all over him!"

>>16138

"Hehe, don't hate. I've got the magick, if you will, hehe."

>>16144

"Oooh?" Lilian says, interest quite peeked. "Maybe we ought to see if he's interested in a sleep over Gwen, hehehe," she giggles. "Assuming you're into that, I mean," she gives a little shrug before indicating Shirley ought to make with the dealing.

"You decide the game, brandygal. You brought the cards and the booze."

>>16136

"Hmph, look but don't touch? Eh, not my cup of tea" says Lucy. "But you brought booze so I can't complain, and I don't mind watching a pretty girl shake it.

Card games? I think at this rate we'll not be wearing enough to so much as play poker."

>>16137

>>16138

Lucy grins watching Gwen smack Lillian with a pillow, before joining Gwen, taking down another swig. Actually, several.

>>16144

This has Lucy's eyes perk up.

"That boy gotta name?

I might fancy myself 'bumping' into him one day."

>>16139

[Lucy - the next NEXT day]

Lucy woke up to hear a rapping on her door (which thankfully wasn't shattered this time) and opened it up.

"Who the he- oh.

It's you.

Get the fuck inside"

Practically grabbing and shoving him down in a chair, Lucy takes the booze stowing it in a mini-fridge before popping a bottle open, and guzzling half of it down in one go.

With a satisfied slurp, she turns to see Jotaro. She was about to tell him to FUCK OFF but. . .well, he brought booze, and she was in a better mood.

The most important part was. . .if he could bring booze, he might be able to bring it again.

She tosses him a bottle.

"Open it up and drink." she commands, before taking a seat in front of him and taking another drink. "and tell me about yourself."

>>16149

Sighing as she walked down the hall, Moko grimaced. Kojo was expelled. To be honest, it wasn't a surprise. Moko had a fair suspicion of its happening, and honestly, was slightly relived. Sure, helping Kojo become less…Kojo would have certainly been for the better, but that would have been…Problematic. and stressfull. and a lot more work than Moko really wanted to do.

Of course, Moko thought to herself, there was the ordeal with Lucy. Guess her plan didn't pan out so well, did it? Well, to be honest, any plan that featured Moko working hard was bound to fail. But still, better to get it over with, right? Gulping to herself, Moko knocks on Lucy's door, shortly after Moko's rather lacking self-grooming session a hour prior. Hopefully, this would go over easy.

"Uh. Lucy, you there?"

>>16149

Jotaro didn't even make eye contact as his hands instinctively caught the bottle he promptly opened it and proceeded to down the entire bottle in one sitting. "Came here from japan,study hokuto shinken. That's pretty much everything you need to know about me." He said only slightly tipsy as he continued avoiding eye contact with the girl.

>>16150

"Yes, yes come on in." Lucy says hearing the girl

"Oh, hey Mok' was just having a nice chat with uh. . .Jotaro over here. Have a drink, and take a seat."

>>16151

Lucy turns again to Jotaro. "What the hell is Hokuto Shinken?" says Lucy, very much a hardweight and just burning through the bottles along with him.

>>16152

"It's a killing art or fighting style it revolves around pressure points. This is all I'm allowed to say about it,but if you'd like a nonlethal demonstration I can oblige." Jotaro said downing another bottle and still barely tipsy ignoring the new girl that walked in.

>>16152

Stands slightly in the door way, looking at the new boy. Huh. So I guess some other Japanese kids survived the attack as well. Funny. Thought I was the only one..

"Uh.. Yeah, If you wan't, I can come back later.."

Eyes the drink just a little bit. "But, uh, what do you have there?"

>>16153

"Hey, you're not going to smash up my room are you?" Lucy says, eyeing the boy cautiously as Moko stood at the doorway.

". . .Fine. Show me what this is all about."

>>16154

"Off so soon? Eh, feel free to take any bottle. There's so much here I probably wouldn't care whatever you take.

I don't normally share, but this school has been anything but fucking normal, kid."

>>16155

Moko Scratches the back of her head lazily, as she walks in.

"I'm not really in a rush. But, uh, yeah… Uh. News. I came by to see if you knew that Kojo was expelled…Sorry, but I thought Id talk to you about it.. Especially after your talk with him.."

Moko sat down in the middle between Jotaro and Lucy, taking a relatively small bottle for her consumption.

"Yeah. It uh, kinda sucks. Sorry your uh, plan I guess flopped."

She takes a swig, slowly gulping the alchohal with the grace of a drunkard, before dragging her sleeve across her mouth.

"But uh, yeah, we can talk about that in a bit. I'll uh, let Jotaro"

She gestures with the bottle to the boy

"Do his thing."

>>16156

("Plan?") Lucy thinks.

("wait a minute, the idiot got expelled? Oh man, Moko must be sad as hell. . .")

Lucy turns to see Moko. Wow, she was really hiding her emotions well, but she could tell right away how she was feeling.

"Oh. . .um. . .yeah, I'm really sorry about that Moko. Tell you what, take another bottle on your way out.

You talk to me often okay?"

("Wow, her boyfriend got expelled. . .well, at least Moko won't have to worry about him anymore. He was an asshat.

. . .kinda cute tho, I can see what she saw in him.")

>>16156

>>16157

"Alright as you wish." Jotaro stands up and cracks his knuckles and slowly moves towards lucy. "Hokuto Sōkin Jizai Kyaku" He says calmly as he thrusts his hands outwards jamming his middle,index and ring fingers on both palms into specific pressure points in the neck designed to inflict temporary paralysis.

>>16158

Jotaro's fingers slam into the meaty mass of Lucy's neck and shoulder muscles, his hands seeking to paralyze the hulk of a woman. Several short and quick thumps are heard as he slams his hands into her.

And it seems to have worked. Lucy has completely frozen, immobile, the empty bottle in her hand falls to the floor as even her breath has stopped. Jotaro would be proud at first, but then wonder if he did it too well.

It's at that point that Lucy's whole body begins to tense and swell as she inhales a breath of air, like she were about to fall over. And then relaxes exhales with such a loud sight that could be heard across the room.

"God. . .DAMN . . . .THAT FELT Sooooooo Goooooooood. . . ." Lucy moans out.

Lucy's huge body loosens as she slumps into her chair, a giant shit eating grin erupting on her face as she practically mewls at what Jotaro did her body.

"H-holy shit dude. . . That was fucking awesome! I haven't felt this relaxed in . . .oh mann I feel so good."

It was as though all the tense muscles in her body, every single tightened sinew and tissue suddenly melted into warm butter. Lucy stretched and groaned in delight at the feeling of so much of her tension having been relieved like it had never before. Lucy drank all the time, and reached the heights of ecstasy, to get any kind of relief from her bulging muscles, but couldn't even hope to approach this level of relief that Jotaro just did.

She then turns to the boy, and starts to look the boy up and down, paying more attention to him than she had ever before. Then, in the most serious voice she has, she speaks to him.

". . .I'm fucking keeping you, you know that right?"

>>16159

At first, moko is slightly taken a back, nearly spilling her drink as she watches Jotaros speed and skill as he shoots his palms into the soon collapsed form of Lucy.

Moko's eyes widen at the feat, a visible look of surprise on her face. If someone can bring down the titan of a woman that was Lucy with but a few well placed strikes, they were certainly a cut above. Moko takes another drink from thw bottle.

"Wow, uh. Thats… Pretty Impressive. Your name is Jotaro right?"

Moko leans forward, her voice slightly breaking her usual monotone. This was certainly… Peculiar.

"Jeez. I gotta give you a hand for that one."

Watching the relaxed form of Lucy stretch out, a small bit of jealousy formed. Man, she looked really comfortable.

"Uh, kinda weird to ask, but uh, I kinda want to try it now"

>>16159

"Stating for the record that's not supposed to happen,probably because I didn't use the actual technique…supposed to kick you however seeing as you are seated that wasn't going to work. I'm thoroughly confused at how you shrugged that off? Are you blocking your vital points?" Jotaro said a million questions running through his mind yet still putting on a calm calculating demeanor.

>>16160

"You're still here? Moko it feels amazing. . ."

>>16161

"So many questions. . .I don't mind a chatty boyfriend. . .but I'll have to remember to silence those lips of yours. . ."

Lucy reaches out with one large palm and grabs both of Jotaro's hands in a strong grip, and in one short motion she pulls his face to hers, quieting his questions.

"I take what I want."

She squeezes her fingers gripping both of Jotaro's hands, rolling around his the fingers in between her vicegrip.

"I want these fingers, the hand they're on, the arms they're connected to, and the person their attached to."

>>16129

After struggling some Phil realizes how much stronger Hiltama is than him and gives up thinking hopefully this ends soon.

After making it to the nurses office and being checked out he finally gets a chance to introduce himself. "Hello, my name is Phil. Sorry about that back there. Dunno what happened. But still nice to meet you."

>>16173

Finally sure that the boy, or Phil, is okay, hiltama comes out of big sister mode(its involuntary darnit!)and goes back to being relaxed. A part of her laughs as he says he doesnt know what happened. What happened is he got punched by her chest, but she's gonna keep that fact to herself.

Hiltama puts out a hand and gives a smile, glad to finally meet someone who ISNT a pervert.

"My name is Hiltama, and its good to meet you Phil. Tell me where are you from?"

>>16147

>>16148

"Ring of Fire it is!" Shirley grabs a glass and fans the cards out in a ring around it, face down. "And don't call me 'Brandy girl'. I haven't stripped in at least a year."

>>16148

"Hmm… I'm not sure what his name was. I only know of two new magical boys, but we generally don't interact with them much. The school likes to try and prevent us from mixing it up. Probably don't want to find out if we'd make magical children together." Shirley pulls out the Aces. "We're removing the waterfall cards for tonight. That is for a beer night. And I think his name was… sparkles?"

Name: Colin

Gender: Boy

Race: Unknown, appears human.

Age: 21

Fluff:

When the otherworldly abominations and horrors from the beyond began their assault Massachusetts, like many coastal states of America faced the first and arguably most devastating wave of monstrosities. Only a single Fiefdom, forged out of the shattered remains of Massachusetts was able to withstand the onslaught thanks to the genius of a great scientist and techno Magician known as Nikolay the Type 0.

From a hidden city within the Quabbin Reservoir Nikiolay developed and deployed special emitters to surround the reservoir that produced a phenomena known as “fields” these fields could stop and even strike back against the encroaching abominations. Strong enough to survive a nuclear explosion point blank the fields were extremely durable, but far from infallible.

Eventually new horrors emerged that were capable of manipulating fields, these abominations were capable of nullifying the protective field surround the Quabbin Reservoir to begin their assault on the hidden city.

However, Nokolay had not been idling, awaiting these new Monsters were Monstrosities of humanities own making. Behemoths created by the Type 0 Tecno Magician Nikolay they became known as the Angels of the Commonwealth or Angels for short. These behemoths could use the fields and were remote controlled by Nikolay to stop the assault on the city but at great cost.

The Stress of piloting sixteen Angels simultaneously caused Nikolay to expire and upon his death the Angels suddenly vanished. His dying words instructed the people to search his lab. They desperately searched through Nikolay’s lab for some way to save themselves and in it they found a young man inside of a large tank filled with an amber colored liquid and instructions from the late Nikolay claiming that this youngster is his greatest project and instructions to safeguard him to an apocalypse academy for training as he may well be humanities last hope…

The denizens of the Hidden City complied with the late Nikolay’s final orders and after awakening the young man spent the entirety of their assets and resources safeguarding him to this apocalypse academy, a week later the City was gone and with it Massachusetts had finally fallen.

The Young man possesses basic knowledge about how to live but beyond that, not much else. He knows his name is Colin and that he must work hard for his late creator whom he views as a father. The only thing he possesses that seems to qualify him for joining the academy is the ability to produce rudimentary and significantly weaker fields.

Lucy joins in with Shirely in the card game during party night.

"Sparkles. I'll keep a lookout for that name.

Maybe I'll find out if that rumor is true.

Speaking of, you and Gwen might know the answer to this, but like, how are magical kids made anyhow?"

[Jenni]

Jenni is sitting on a bench, alone. It's late. Probably too late to be out. She didn't really care. The day had been painful and awkward, and now she was sitting on the damn table again, grinding her teeth. "Fucking hate this..fucking…SCHOOL!" She shouts. "FUCKING HATE IT. EVERYONE IS CRAZY. Fuck. Fuckers. God damn. Seriously. Why the fuck do I have to deal with these people?" She tilts her head and projects her jaw out and makes her voice very thin. "Goooood, I wish Phoebe was here. We could go shooting or something."

A squirrel pops out of nearby tree. It looks confused, but it comes over to Jenni and stands upright near her feet. The scraggly tuft seems to indicate that it's Mr. Squirrel.

"Mr. Squirrel, what the hell is wrong with these people? They're all crazy, and I know I'm crazy, so, they're …double crazy." Jenni's left leg twitches a little in sympathy.

The squirrel looked at her. The confusion of the small animal was truly immense. A thousand petty emotions raced through the tiny mind of the animal as it contemplated the mysteries not known by man, or, mysteries too subtle for the intellect.

"I mean really, I have night terrors, sweats, and I've hacked people into bits. I've seen most of my friends die. I've seen corpses stacked like cordwood. I've seen all of these things. And yet, I feel like I'm the most normal person here."

The squirrel made an expression like it had to poop, but then didn't. It looks on, increasingly confused. It makes a chittering noise – possibly deliberately, but more than likely it was random and without any ultimate meaning. Such is the nihilism of squirrels.

"Seriously Mr. Squirrel, what the hell is going on? Jesus, I just want to meet a nice guy that's not fucking nuts or a cyborg or …like, doesn't eat souls…or..something."

The squirrel seems to nod slightly, or, it may be throwing up inside of it's own mouth and swallowing it. It's not clear. It seems likely that it was throwing up. The disgust we feel in lives is not distinct from the disgust of the squirrel, perhaps.

"Mr. Squirrel, it's not going to be like this forever is it?"

Mr. Squirrel then barfed all over the lawn. It was a large amount of barf, possibly too much for a squirrel. In the end life is nothing except barf for a lawn; a statement that Epicurus or the stoics would agree with.

" Gross, Jesus. Thanks Mr. Squirrel, you really know what to say."

"Friends will come. Look at Alexei, no friends before he came here, now whole club is his friends." Alexis says from behind the bench, returning from his work on the rooftop. "Besides, not all cyborgs are bad. My friend Kojo is nice. The ones you've met must have something wrong with their programming." A wide smile splits Alexei's face, teeth luminous in the dark.

[Jenni]

Mr. Squirrel seems to retreat when Alexei's voice becomes audible; the rodent scurries up the tree and watches from a nearby branch with a certain knowing pensiveness.

Jenni sort of squints and she cranes over to get a look at the man. She seems to be put off by him, and starts slowly. "…Uh, well, I never said cyborgs are bad. It's just that everyone here seems to be crazy. So, I guess my problem is with crazy cyborgs or whatever. Uh…did…did you hear all of that?"

Jenni blushes and gets nervous as she rapidly becomes aware of how much of what she has spoken to the squirrel has been eavesdropped by this Alexei person. Her face seems to collapse from a look of shock to a look of horror; her left arm twitches a little bit and she grabs it with her right arm to stop it from moving. This is done gracefully, and the movement is practiced.

>>16426

"We are in world with monsters and magic. All must be crazy to live here," the massive boy says jovially, laughing slightly at his own joke. The squirrel the small(well, everyone is small to him) girl was talking to has left.

Moving to sit on the bench, Alexei slides his hands down his track suit unconsciously. "Heard much of it. Ear is not perfect," he points up at his ear, the top marred slightly from a lifetime of wrestling. "Started when you were talking to squirrel about cyborgs."

"Apologies for hearing what was not meant for alexei. Was not meant to happen."

>>16429

[Jenni]

Jenni pulls in her arms a bit as the man sits nearby. She cautiously watches him, unsure of his intentions. He is very handsome, and this seems to calm her down somewhat. She starts slowly. "It..it's okay. It wasn't particularly damning. I've just had a hard day. This place is….well, you know. Jenni, by the way." She waves tepidly with one hand. "Jenni Calicott. What's your name? You sound, ah, Russian or something…but that could just be a stereotype. What did they bring you here for? You must do something good aside from…standing around and looking Greek."

Jenni then stares at Alexei, hard. She's trying to figure him out, and tilts her head to the left (slightly) while squinting slightly with one eye. It's not sexual, but it is probing. After a few moments, Jenni pulls on her uniform a little bit – it never seems to fit right.

"They brought me here because they could. Because I have skills. If I don't do what they say, I hang."

>>16162

Sighing to herself, she got up, finishing off her drink, rather slowly albeit. "Uh…Look, I'll talk to you later."

Moko looks towards Jotaro, and the death grip Lucy has on his hands. This might get more phsyical than Moko bargained for. Besides, it looks like Lucy is already over Kojo. Good for her, and Good for me, Moko thought. Less work for me to do.

Walking towards the door, Moko nods lazily. "Uh, thanks for the drink…I'll talk to you later. You seem like your uh..Gonna be pre-occupied.." She says, as she looks towards Jotaro and than back to her, before shuffling out.

>>16148

Gwen muttered under her breath but shuffled over to play this card game. She didn't really care about some boy if she was perfectly honest with herself, she blamed the spirit in her head for being male.

-~I really don't think you can blame me~- Still am.

>>16432

"Alexei Klokov. I am Russian, da. Is not stereotype if it true." The magical boy nods, confirming that he does, infant, sound like a stereotypical Russian. "I am here because I have no other place. Russia not want me, now that I am magic. So, must come here. Now, I live for me. I win for me."

"But why would people want to hang you? Life not wasted like that. Life is protected. That is why we are here, no?"

>>16442

[Jenni]

Jenni frowns. "I guess. It seems like all we defend is the powerful rich. Ever see a squad of techno-enhanced deathsquads massacre civilians? I have. They're pretty good at it, as good as they are at fighting the..things." She pauses. "Even if we even win this, what will we have to go back to? The same old bullshit. The same old abuse. The same old horror. The same old same old, forever. And nobody seems to care." At this point Jenni mumbles and trails off, becoming somewhat somber.

"So everyone lives. So what? The things would at least end the endless cycle of abuse that seems to cloud the planet since forever. Things would change at least once. If we look at it that way, the things aren't evil – they're just outside of the usual game of abuse. The game as it stands doesn't like that, so it needs to bring those things to heel. Those things get to be called evil." Jenni makes airquotes with her hands while sneering a little.

"That's why we're here. The game cannot bear such things. It cannot bear a challenge to the usual horror of things. That's why I am here. I am here because I am a thing of horror." At this point Jenni seems to go quiet, apparently upset about what she has just said. "Sorry, Alexei. This is not what I expected to find myself discussing today."

>>16448

"Is okay Jenni. Life has strange ways of changing. Perhaps you will fix the game. Wrestling teaches to always look for opportunities. And take them. We must have same outlook now, off mat. We can make the world better, even with the witches and monsters"

[Jenni]

Jenni looks at Alexei again and squints both of her eyes. "It's hard to say that when you've done the things I have, Alexei. And I did them all so that they wouldn't need to be done again." She is very pointed and puts emphasis on the word 'again'. "Now I'm here, talking to you, about the, happening, again." Jenni goes quiet. "And when it's over, the bullshit will start all over. Again. Our intent doesn't matter. The opportunities we are afforded become the disease we spread, Alexei. That's what my experience taught me, aside from what it feels like to cut someone's head off."

Jenni averts her gaze and frantically wipes at her eyes. She eventually stops talking and lowers her head to stare at the ground. "Thanks Alexei, I'd like to be alone for now. This is all too much to work through right now. It was nice to meet you." Toward the end you get the feeling her response diplomatic - she is on the edge of emotional distress.

>>16487

Pausing slightly, Alexei attempts to nail down the English translation. "At home, we have saying. 'Without torture, no science.' is direct translation. But in English, I think it would mean that progress comes from pain. You have had much pain, so we must be having progress, yes?" Another saying passes though his head, but is brushed away with a mental flick.

"Good night Jenni. If need talk with more people and less squirrel, can find me at gym or in class." Standing, Alexei walks off toward the dorms. There's still more work to do before the dinner is ready.

>>16487

A few hours later, Jenni looked up to see Moko standing a meter or so away. She had made no sound, and there was no warning of her appearance, but from the look on her face, it seemed she had been standing there for a good amount of time. She is gripping her arm left arm with her right, looking a tad bit down on herself, seemingly breaking her normal uncaring atmosphere.

"Uh, hey. I uh..Just came by to apologize for..last night? But..If now isn't a good time…I can leave..I think you know that Kojo got expelled though.."

>>16491

[Jenni]

Jenni sits quietly and has her head bowed as she rests her elbows on her knees and stares into the sky. It looks like she's been crying and her mascara is all over her face – it's been smeared where she's been wiping with her forearm. It's very cold outside and you can see her breath as she exhales.

Jenni eventually turns to Moko and starts talking. "It's alright. I didn't hear that. It's fine, Moko. I shouldn't have yelled at you. Feelings are just dumb and they make you do things sometimes. It's not a big deal for me if it's not a big deal for you. Things are just hard here, is all. Harder than I thought. I guess I just overreact to normal things."

Jenni sniffs to herself a few times, and there is some snot visible from her nose. She wipes it and smears it on her uniform, apparently not concerned with her appearance.

>>16492

Moko nods, and walks over, kneeling down along with Jenni. She looks slightly worried about Jenni, but is unsure of what to ask.

"I..Uh..To be honest?"

Moko turns to Jenni, her eyebrows in slight concentration, finding the right words.

"I…Never really liked Kojo..I think..When I was talking, I said something about me being his girl friend…But, I meant to say…She was the one making fun of me…"

She looks towards the ground, her hands on her knees.Ugh. Man, I hope shes not angry…

"When Kojo asked me to be his girl friend..It was, well…Lucy threatened him to apparently."

Man..This was weird. Why did I care so much about what this girl thought of me? Maybe…I should ask her how shes feeling. She does look kinda…sore about something.

"I uh..It's alright. Him leaving didn't really bother me all that much." She says, turning her head to look at Jenni.

"I was more concerned with letting you down…Can I ask, but are you alright?"

>>16496

[Jenni]

Jenni wipes at her face. "Yeah, it's fine. Hard day. Long day. Don't need to worry about letting me down with this stuff. This stuff doesn't really get you killed, although you feel like dying sometimes, you know? It feels like the end of the world." She sighs a little bit. "This isn't the end of the world though. That would take some of the pressure off, you know? If the world would end. Man, that would be a relief. No pressure." She jiggles her anklet a little bit, and bangs it against the table. It makes a clanging noise as the plastic of it hits against the metallic table.

After that, Jenni just sort of sits there staring into the distance. She's not twitching very much, but occasionally a foot will jiggle a little bit.

Jenni starts again. "We're all going to die here, probably. Me sooner than you, of course."

>>16518

[Jenni]

Jenni turns to look Moko as she talks. She nods slowly with her mouth open slightly; hot air turns to steam as it exits her mouth. She pulls on her uniform as she listens; her neckline plunges where it shouldn't.

When Moko finishes, Jenni smiles, widely. "Yeah, I guess it won't be so bad to die on stage when the world ends, right? I mean, think about it, we'd be on to see the entire curtain hit us. Quite the honor. I'm not much for honor, really, but there's a grim amusement about it. All of the big stinking mess coming to an end sans applause."

Jenni at this point rises and hugs Moko, awkwardly. She smells like lavender, but her air smells like some sort of cheap shampoo muted by the cold. She eventually withdraws and smiles at Moko, but the smile is genuine.

>>16524

[Jenni]

Jenni nods. "Don't worry though, just stay with me when the shit hits the fan, and we'll do fine. I've seen my share of this sort of bullshit, and it's why they saved me from the firing squad. I'll be watching out for you where I can, don't sorry. If you get some time, try to get some practice time in to develop your powers, and see if you can make friends." [Jenni thinks for a second.] "We're going to need all the help we can get, and the goons around here are our ticket to equipment. I realize this sounds callous, but it's our only way to get through this, I think. You have advantages in this department – you have powers I don't, and you can leverage them. Maybe. I don't know. Try to make friends with the instructors. I realize they don't care about us."

Jenni stops for a second after she thinks. "One last thing. I need you to tell my sisters if I die. You can have my things. It's not much, but my models are painted better than yours. You can probably resell them for some credits or something."

Eventually Jenni clutches her arms to her chest. "Jesus it's cold here. Okay Moko, I'm going to go to the room. I'll see you at strategy club, okay?" Jenni waves as she walks off into the darkness.

>>16741

Azzy was walking back to the dorms after having some lab time. Not much in the way of progress, but simply practicing the craft soothed Azzy's nerves. Today day was another day at school, and it was a pretty okay day.

"Hey who's that?" Remmy remarked, pointing an ethereal claw at the figure staring intently at a map. Holding an oversized backpack on his back. Azzy mentally groaned, another cyborg. This one was also male but clearly much more heavily augmented from his aura and complete lack of visible flesh. Azzy hoped this one had an Iq higher than a dog's.

"Kid looks lost, maybe you should help him" Remmy whispered into Azzy's ear, mirroring the young necromancer's deduction, if not intent. Azy really didn't want to get involved again, but just helping the kid find his way couldn't hurt, right? The mystic martial approaching the cyborg, "H-hey, a-are you lost?"

Krieg eyed the boy over for a moment, "Yeah, I guess. It's my first day here. I'm a transfer student, first year. My map doesn't have a legend or anything so I'm having trouble finding my way to the boys' dorms." He angles the map to where the boy can see it. "I'm not sure where I went wrong in getting here. Sorry to trouble you. If you're busy or anything I can probably find it myself."

>>16746

"It's f-fine I was heading t-to the d-d-dorms anyways. F-follow me." Azzy sputters out. The young mage starts walking and having the cyborg follow him, staying out of easy reaching range."Sh-shouldn't you have g-gotten a tablet like this one?" Azzy asked hefting the school issued tablet. "It h-has a map with a l-legend and ev-everything."

>>16747

"It's in my bag somewhere," Krieg said, motioning the the oversized bag on his back. "My father's helicopter was heading somewhere further east early morning and I had to pack quickly. I'll fish it out when I get to my room." Krieg shrinks a little upon realizing that he didn't have something in his hands that could so easily have helped him find his room. "I don't think I caught your name. I'm Krieg. Krieg Meadows." He gave a sort of grin and looked at the boy again. It was actually kind of hard to tell what gender they were, actually, and the loose clothing they wore didn't help.

>>16750

"Azzy, Azzy Wilson. I t-take you're D-dad is rich, c-c-considering He somehow m-managed to helicarry you into the sch-school." The young person returned. No real facial expression evident.

Inwardly Azzy was relieved. This Krieg kid was a hell of a lot smarter and more put together than Kojo. Hopefully that means no shenanigans or trouble. Azzy nearly had a nervous breakdown in the girl's dorm that one time.

>>16751

"Nice to meet you Azzy. I mean, I guess he is. He owns ARES, the weapons manufacturing company. I've never really thought too much of it." Krieg shrugged before slouching a bit. Most of his clothing said ARES in big letters across them. He shouldn't have mentioned the company name. He held the map close to his body in an attempt to cover the writing on his clothing. "So, Azzy, are we close to the dorms yet?"

>>16753

"Y-yeah, we're close." Azzy led the boy inside a building. "Th-this is the boys dorms over here. You g-got a room number?"

Father owns ARES. Really? One o f the top weapons manufacturers in the world, and this kid was the heir apparent. Said kid was also apparently more clueless about social interaction than Azzy was. Hooooo boy. Azzy felt uneasy and slightly ill. This was going to be another trainwreck, wasn't it?

Krieg scanned the hall for his room number, producing the key from his pocket and checking to make sure he had the right number. He fumbled with it for a moment before opening the door. He peered into the room. It was… smaller… than he had expected. He set his bag down inside and sat on the bed. It was… sort of soft? He walked back out. "Sorry for being rude and leaving you here. Do you want to come in?" He opened the door wider and gave a grin. "I still need to set up, but I don't know if all my stuff will even fit once unpacked."

>>16755

Aha, here it was. Yeah try to help a kid out and now they want to try and make "friends." Azzy's friends always died horribly, from the Witch slaughtering his hometown, to the Un troopers and techs dying one by one during missions or freak accidents. Worse were the ones who used Azzy or hurt him to help themselves. Nope, not going through this again.

Azzy smiled an uneasy smile, "N-no, I'm g-good. Th-thank you for the offer though. G-good luck getting settled I-in your room." The young Necromancer started tow alk off.

>>16756

Krieg shut his door, making sure he still had the key. He started to follow behind. "That's fine. I was just going to ask to chat. So where're you from? I don't think you mentioned." He could tell Azzy didn't want to talk. If he wasn't going to give him a chance, he'd go on about his business.

[GM META: There will be NO new students allowed to transfer in beyond this point. If you die, we'll talk]

>>16757

Great, the cyborg was following. Like a puppy. Dammit. Couldn't Azzy just be left alone? Easier for everyone that way. Then Azzy heard the question, spoken from Kreigs lips, reaching Azzy's ear, and rattling around in the poor child's mind. Synapses fired, THought were made and passed. Memories best left forgotten surfaced, horrors barely remembered burst their way to the forefront of the mind. Azzy for a solitary moment froze mid stride. The mystic martials body freezing and compressing like a drawn bowstring in an instant.

"Azzy? Azzy snap out of it. Come on he meant no harm, fight it down kiddo." Remmy cajoled trying to avert a minor disaster. The wraith had seen this before. If Azzy didn't calm down there'd be blood.

Azzy relaxed slightly and took a deep breath. The shaking had returned. "I w-was a guest o-of the U.N. Sp-sp-special forces for t-two years, pr-prior to st-staying here." Azzy replied, the Necromancer's pace picking up noticeably, heading to the sparring room.

Colin gazed upon the Apocalypse Academy, he had made it. He remembers the lives lost to bring him here, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts had fallen for this. His remaining escorts had tried to keep the knowledge from him but it was not hard to find out, given how they reacted to the news.

Colin glanced behind him to see if his escort had reconsidered going back to Massachusetts, he had tried to talk them out of it to tell them that doing so was akin to suicide but they just shook their heads and laughed, as though he was the one being irrational. Simply telling him to make the doctor proud and then leaving him… Alone. For a brief moment the air around Colin shimmers before returning to normal.

Finding no one behind him Colin glances down at the tablet in his hand and focused on his task, he was to be humanities savior. Mourning the past will only hinder him. He had to move on, it wouldn’t do for the “Angel of Massachusetts” to mope. Colin brought up the map-app for the Academy and eventually found his designated room. Shouldering his duffel bag Colin make his way to the boy’s dormitory.

>>16759

"That's neat, so you've had combat experience? That's really cool. I came to the academy so I could get combat experience. Tired of testing weapons all the time without actually using them, y'know?" As Azzy's pace increased Krieg began to slow down. He didn't seem to like talking to him very much. Krieg found a bench and sat down. He'd hopefully get a chance to talk to Azzy again later, though.

>>16761

[Jenni]

Jenni is walking quickly between locations when she spots a new student at a bench. She pauses, then stops and stares – she leans in visibly, trying to read the logo.

After ten seconds of gawking, she starts moving toward him. She looks pissed, and her face is a mask of fury. Jenni then plants herself in front of the man, craning down at him. Her arms are on her hips, and her face hasn't improved.

"Krieg? As in, the arms manufacturer?"

>>16762

"Y-yes?" Krieg looked up at the girl, who had been thrown into a fury by some unknown force. "M-My father runs ARES. Can I help you?" He slouched in his seat, terrified of the sour mood this girl brought with her.

>>16763

[Jenni]

Jenni's pissed. Her eye teeth are visible and she talks through the front part of her mouth. Her jaw twitches a bit. "Do you know how many Ares arms shipments I destroyed in the Cascades? and how many people I lost to Ares camo mines? I'll give you a hint, it was a lot. My sister was nearly killed by an Ares autonomous weapon unit. Fuck, and they call ME the war criminal." She seems to grow even more angry as she talks. Her face seems beet red and she seems to emit an aura of fury.

"Let me show you something."

Before you know it, she's pulled up her blouse and you see a massive scar, along with her bra. The scar snakes up her back and seems endless. It's totally hideous, and seems to have only recently healed.

"That's from a machete, Ares brand. I didn't know you animals made machetes, but apparently you do. Carbon fiber. I didn't even know the army had the fucking things, but I didn't know the army had death squads either."

Jenni pulls down her blouse and stares at you. It's like she's trying to pull out your eyeballs with hers.

>>16766

"I-I'm sorry." At hearing this, Krieg becomes disgusted with the fact ARES weapons had been used to injure one of his fellow students. He had mostly worked with ones used to fight larger entities rather than those for war. "I-I don't have any real impact on the company. It's my father who controls it. I-I'm sorry that you got injured. Pl-Please… Please calm down. I don't want to be any sort of bother to you." Krieg looks at the ground, sort of kicking at the ground aimlessly.

>>16766

"Whoa Jenni, I thought I come on strong but flashing yourself?" Lucy chortles as she walks out of the sparring room, noticing her action towards. . .

>>16767

"And who's this fella?" says Lucy. It's a little bright out, and the sparring room was kind of dark, so it takes her a while to make out his features as she squints her eyes somewhat.

Rolled 3 (1d100)

>>16761

Azzy continued on to any empty sparring/training room. The young mystic grabbed a scythe and started going to town on the practice dummies with a silent but wild abandon. A faint and fairly off-putting smile smile gracing the lips while the young child fought ghosts of the past in the mind.

[Meta: Dice roll for how the practice went.]

>>16767

[Jenni]

Jenni seems confused, and leans back a bit. Her face seems to clear, slightly, and she scowls less intensely. The flames behind her eyes seem to transition to disgust. You appear to be making progress.

"So, you're just the princeling. How many car elevators do you have? Why the hell are you even here? It doesn't make much sense to send the elite to get turned into dog food, which, surprise, this place turns everyone into."

She pauses and her voice grows grave again.

"Look at me when I talk to you. You might be able to live without looking at the victims all the other times, but you won't avoid it this time."

She folds her arms and cranes her toward the man again. "How old are you?"

>>16766

Colin is walking by heading for the dormitories when the commotion draws his eye. He stops for a moment his face neutral for most of it, though his lips do twitch for just a moment during the exchange. He decides to speak up, his tone even. “Pardon me, miss. I couldn’t help but overhear you speak of ARES. You appear quick to speak of those who have used these weapons for misdeeds yet unwilling to say what they have done for us, all of us.”

Colin stops for a moment to see if he has the woman’s attention before speaking again. “For one, I would not be here if not for ARES weaponry and those who use them.” Colin thinks back to his escorts for a moment. “In fact, there is a good chance that humanity would have perished at this point if not for the innovations brought to us by ARES.” Colin pauses for a breath before continuing.

“Also, why do you question this young man about car elevators? What does that have to do with ARES?” Colin seems honestly confused at that. >>16769

Colin glances at the newcomer but doesn’t greet her yet.

>>16772

>>16774

Krieg looked up at the now woman now towering over him. He didn't know either of the people standing over him. "I'm N\nineteen. I've been using this shell for two. I'm here by choice to actually use the weapons I've had to test for so long. This body is jammed full of guns and I haven't so much as had a chance to fire them at a giant monster." Krieg's arm unfolds to reveal all sorts of small guns and weapons tucked inside. I'm assuming the ARES brand has injured you too?" He looks over at yet another student approaching, here to also ask about ARES. "I'm the son of the company's owner."

>>16775

Colin stares at him for a little bit before speaking again in his even tone. "But… what does that have to do with whether or not ARES is bad for humanity?"

>>16776

"One or both of these two have been severely injured by the weapons ARES makes."

>>16778

Colin continues staring again before responding. "Yes… I heard that part. Aren't we discussing whether or not ARES is a boon to humanity and it's struggle for survival? I can understand them being injured by ARES tech having a bearing on the discussion but why would you being the heir of the corporation matter? It isn't like you chose to be so"

>>16779

>>16769

[[Whenever this is happening]]

Gwen sees the group surrounding some kid with a massive rucksack, and also sees Lucy and decides to see what the commotions about.

She walks over lazily yawning as she says, "Oi, Lucy, Jenni, what's happenin'?"

>>16766

Lucy see's the fire in Jenni's voice and stays quiet, clearly having misguded the situation, and raises an eyebrow at what Jenni was accusing this guy.

From what she could gather, he was rich, and somehow related to 'victims'

>>16774

"ARES?

Goddamn! Those guys make some of THE best weapons. I always knew I'd be in for some action whenever the boss gave me one of those babies.

Never let me keep em sadly." Lucy speaks with a hint of nostalgia in her voice.

>>16775

"Hurt? Hah, you better fucking believe it boy.

A single ARES round gave me this!"

Lucy pulls down her shirt, showing the telltale signs of a massive scar over her shoulder (along with a history of other wounds).

"You have any idea how hard it is to scar my nanite infused body?

Not to worry, I ain't sore about it. The asshole who gave it to me?

I took off that fuckers entire upper torso with a single ARES .50 HEAT round."

>>16776

"Bad for humanity?" Lucy scoffs.

"What a joke.

Humanity is what humanity does. Ain't no hiding the truth, ever since the first caveman axed the first murder victim for a hunk o meat or his pretty wife.

That's just the way we are. You wanna know what's bad for humanity?

The shit that's trying to kill us. Aliens, monsters, demons. These things mean nothing but death for ALL of us."

>>16778

"It's no surprise, your company gets around man."

>>16779

"You better believe they use em there."

>>16778

Lucy then stares at Krieg for a bit.

"Slow the fuck down boy,

…did you say you were MADE of guns?

…and that you daddy is THE owner of ARES…?"

>>16769

[Jenni]

Jenni stares at Lucy with some uncharacteristic venom, but doesn't say anything.

Eventually she starts. "He's from Ares. The arms manufacturer. I think they use those guns in Brazil too, now that I think about it. Saw a documentary about it on Youtube6. Ever fired an Ares brand pistol? They're THE BEST." Her tone is smarmy.

>>16774

Jenni seems to be getting angrier again, but controls herself. Her arm is twitching a little, possibly from the anger.

"You can sing the praises of ARES all you like when you don't lose friends and get mangled by them. There will always be an arms dealer, creatures like this shouldn't be held up as our moral exemplars. The high watermark in human slaughter is still held by Humans, mr. stranger, and after this creatures like him will still rule the new world. Of that I can assure you."

>>16775

Jenni looks disgusted. "You sound like a helpless moron with a good deal of growing up to do. When you get to use those fancy weapons on people, I suppose I can talk to you again."

Before you know it, Jenni bites her thumb, hard, and it bleeds visibly. She extends her hand and splatters blood all over the sitting boy.

"This is what you do. Ignorance is not an excuse. Now you have seen it. You will see more."

Jenni is seething at this point, and seems to pulse with rage. "Jenni, by the way."

Krieg wipes the blood from his face. "I'm sorry my weapons have hurt you, but I'm not trying to hurt you, nor have my weapons hurt you." Krieg begins to gain some level of momentum to his speaking, losing the stutter he had shown previously. He turns back to the larger woman. "Yes, my father owns ARES. My body is essentially I giant weapon built so I wouldn't end up in any more… accidents…" Krieg trails off for a moment before quickly returning to his train of thought, looking back at the girl with the scar, "Again, I'm sorry you were injured. What even put you in the line of fire anyways? You seem to be putting a lot of blame on someone who has no impact on the company whatsoever." Another girl had approached, she seemed oblivious to what was going on.

>>16787

Gwen winced when she heard the boy ask jenni that question, hoooh boy here it comes, she proceeded to step behind Lucy just incase Jenni got REALLY violent.

>>16785

"No offense Jenni, but I don't take fancy to riding the moral high horse. ("isn't she a war criminal? odd for her to feel so sanctimonious about killing.")

I've lost good friends to ARES weapons, I've lost them to non-ARES weapons. But I've also killed peoples friends too.

Gun's just a tool, by itself is harmless. It's the asshole behind the gun you gotta watch out for.

Especially if they have a GOOD gun."

>>16787

"I'm a mercenary.

I kill people and people try to kill me for a living. Part of the job.

The only thing about ARES weapons I care about is being on the correct side of one and-

Damn is that a cannon arm?

>>16224

Seamus slinks into the school finishing his beer and chucking it in the grass before heading into the building itself hands in his pockets with a slouching posture, if anyone were to look at him he'd be deemed a damn hooligan. "Bloody map, fecking things not even marked? What fecking gobshite made this piece of trash? I'd be better off wiping me arse with this useless piece of paper" He ranted as he continued wandering the building he wasn't wearing a uniform,but was instead wearing his trademark bomber jacket with a green shirt under it as well as some jeans and a belt. "Ah about bloody time someone else in this damn place. Oi boyo you think you can tell me were the dorms are? This fecking map is arseways and I can't make a damn bit 'o' sense out of it." He says to a blonde haired kid. "Awfully black in here ain't it? " He says commenting on the large crowd surrounding the boy his accent clearly showing and with the slang he was using it wouldn't take a genius to figure out his nationality.

>>16787

Fucked up a part, reposting.

>>16785

Colin blinks. Then he stares for a moment before speaking again. "Was that an attempt at humor? Before the abominations began their assault the amount of humans living outnumbered the number of record human deaths, throughout history. Now, humanity has lost so much that the current times are being called an Apocalypse. For good reason."

Colin takes in a deep breath but continues speaking with his even tone. "What do you mean 'after this'? This isn't some sortie or war between humans. This is the sum total of humanies strength versus beings that defy previous notions of reality. The chances of humanity surviving the next few decades are slim to none and you speak as if they've already done it." For the first time Colin’s voice raises. “If it were so easy to overcome these monsters the people of Massachusetts would still have a tomorrow!”

>>16784

>A small smile appears on Colin's face for a moment. so this is what it feels like when people agree with you? It feels good.

>>>16787

>Again Colin can only stare. For a good thirty seconds. "Why do you apologize? you have done nothing to these people. In fact, if not for ARES weaponry I would more than likely have perished on my way to the academy.

>>16787

>>16790

>>16791

[Jenni]

Jenni seems to get so angry that she trips over her words. She's literally frothing at the mouth, and is quite literally surrounded. As the responses increase, she grows increasingly incoherent. She frantically turns back and forth, confused and disoriented.

"THE COMPANY? YOU FUCKER! THE…FUCKING..INSURRECTION….YOU..YOU..SHIT! YOU SHIT! SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT!"

She just starts swearing and pointing at the sitting boy incoherently. Her voice is loud, probably as loud as she can make it, and it deafens the area. "YOU KNOW WHAT, FUCK ALL OF YOU, ASSHOLES."

She points at the seated boy. "ESPECIALLY YOU, FUCKWIT. FUCK YOU AND YOUR FUCKING GOLDEN CAR ELEVATOR."

At this point her facade seems to break, and tears start to form. She storms off as blood runs down her arm.

>>16795

Colin just stares for a moment with a perplexed look on his face and his tone even. "Why did she leave? The discussion of the worth of ARES hadn't ended… Colin glances to the others. "Is she well? Why did she leave the discussion? Did I misrepresent my side of the argument?"

>>16794

>>16795

>>16791

>>16790

>>16788

Krieg just sort of stared at Jenni, who had just run off crying. He detached himself from the conversation. He felt bad for what ARES had done to her. He stands up, looking for the words he needed. "Does anyone… um… know where her room is? I want to go apologize. I think ARES really hurt her and I want to try to help…"

>>16795

>>16792

"Whelp, nice meeting you fucks, I'm out, oh and the dorm's that way," Gwen says as she gestures towards the male dorms for the new guy and then proceeds to follow after Jenni.

>>16798

Colin blinks but realizes that it would be rude to not respond. "Ah, thank you."

>>16797

Colin responds. "I do not, sorry. I have just transferred today. But, please explain to me. Why are you responsible for what ARES has done to her?"

>>16797

"No, I think you should stay the fuck away boy.

Oh, by the way my name is Lucy. Nice to meet'cha."

Lucy extends her hand in a quick handshake, before going off to say.

"Now if you'll excuse me I have a crazy friend to run after. But I'll want to talk to you all about that arm."

>>16790

("God this fag here does anyone really talk like that?")

>>16795

The moment Lucy let's go of Krieg's arm, her huge leg's tense and she breaks into a sprint like a cannon, her whole body causing those around her to feel the THUMP as each foot hits the ground, determined to catch up to Jenni.

She's seen this kind of thing before. . . and at least one of those occasions ended up with someone swallowing a grenade.

She'd much prefer to make sure that doesn't happen with Jenni.

"JENNI WAIT!"

>>16801

Colin blinks for a moment and wonders why he didn't get a handshake.

>>16797

>>16800

"The fecks got everyones knickers in a bunch? Damn I for one am an avid believer in talking things out over a nice pint. Seems the lass that just stormed off isn't much of a believer in that tho, not that I care what the lass thinks. So anyone care to tell me what fresh hell me ol'mans gotten me into?" Seamus rambles on craving a nice pint and seemingly not giving a single fuck on what was happening around him.

>>16801

Gwen stumbles with a squawk of surprise as Lucy barrels past her, she grabs onto the nearest object before looking at where lucy had gone, well, she seemed to think something was wrong, better rush after her.

-~Fuck she's fast~- yeah and I'm not exactly a runner either.

>>16803

Colin glances at the newcomer. "I had thought that it was a discussion about the worth of ARES but human emotions surprise me. I am Colin, by the way. And you are?"

>>16801

>>16798

Krieg tried to follow behind the two before losing himself in the halls of the girls' dorms. He began to wander a bit before getting lost among the various hallways.

[Jenni]

Jenni moves really really fast for a normal, and seems to outpace everyone.

Jenni eventually halts, and she's halfway across campus, at her usual spot. She seems to ignore everyone, and she's smeared her own blood across her uniform; it's got a massive bloody handprint on the front of it now. It's sort of ghoulish. She just sort of sits there.

>>16801

>>16798

Jenni stays quiet as you approach. She's looking at her thumb; the tendon is visible. "Gonna need stitches for this. Good thing I didn't bite my trigger finger, christ."

>>16805

"Ah right, suppose I ought to introduce myself. Names Seamus, Seamus O'Flannagan. As for this discussion I aven't the foggiest what the fuck ARES is nor do I give a fuck either." Seamus says with a laugh at the Ructions that had happened not even a moment ago.

>>16808

Gwen is panting as she approaches, lifts a hand up in protest as she's bent over, other hand on her knee, trying to catch her breath. "Hah… hoooo… wow… fuck…. out of shape…. gah…."

>>16807

Colin realizes that his question will not be getting an answer and just watches Krieg leave with a puzzled look on his face. these humans are so odd.

>>16808

Most people would be shocked at the sight of blood.

Jenni and Lucy aren't most people.

Rather than blabbing about calling for help or something stupid like "oh my god are you ok!", Lucy calmly walks toward Jenni, and sits down next to her.

She's quiet for a bit, only the sound of slight breathing from the sprint. Without turning, she speaks:

"You wanna talk about it Jenni?"

>>16809

Colin can feel himself smile for a moment at the mans cheerfulness. "It is nice to meet you, Seamus. I assume that you are also a student here?"

>>16814

"Yeah, just transferred in from a small insignificant own in good ole ireland, so this a regular occurrence here?" Seamus asks a bit taken back by all the arguing as he reflects on his hometown.

>>16810

>>16812

Jenni seems extremely extremely calm and stares at her finger. It pulses blood, and it runs down her arm.

Jenni stares at it, and seems distracted looking at the blood as it drips off. "I'm fine. Can't you tell?" Her smarm is profound and pointed.

>>16815

"I am unsure as I am also a new transfer."

Colin Pauses for a moment. "I am from Massachusetts myself. More than likely I am one of the last ones alive who can claim that. Ireland still stands? impressive."

>>16816

"Wow, didn't realize the sarcasm here was thicker than blood," Gwen said after she managed to catch her breath, "You know you look like one of those chicks in a slasher film right now?"

>>16817

"Indeed it does, eh from the states are ye? damn must be hard heard they got hit hard." Seamus says a twinge of sadness in his voice as he recalls the suffering of the less fortunate countries.

>>16816

Lucy scrunches her lips and rubs her chin. This was always hard, and she wasn't exactly good at words.

But she always tried for a friend.

>>16818

>>16816

Lucy nods ever so slightly before responding to Jenni.

"Trust me, you never solve anything by running away from it Jenni.

You're letting it hurt you. . .literally. I'm not about to let something hurt one of my friends without sharing a few words. But you need to tell us what's up Jen."

>>16819

"yes, they did." Colin lingers for a moment before speaking again. "Hmm, now that I think about it that other man, Krieg. I believe the taller girl mentioned that he was new here as well? How odd that this Academy would have three new transfers all at the same time."

>>16818

[Jenni]

Jenni starts laughing. You've never heard her laugh before but she starts laughing. Hard. She leans over a little as she guffaws, and it's kind of frightening. She eventually inhales a big breath. "Whew, okay. Yeah. Yeah I do. I'm also starting to feel dizzy, so I should probably go to the med center before I loose too much blood."

>>16820

Jenni sighs to herself. "Before all of this fuckers like him were the heroes, and after it people like him will be the heroes, and we will be dead. The statues they will build will be for him, and the history of the world will be his. Morons like him. The fact that I lost a bunch of friends to ARES death squads and kit didn't help. I was already losing sleep, and then I saw terd there…just..gawking..like a moron."

She pauses.

"I mean, I could have hit him, but it wouldn't have helped. I could probably even go to ARES and burn the fucking thing down and there would be another five cartels to take their place. It just all came out."

Jenni gets upset when she realizes nobody seems to have supported her; she cranes over to staunch the bleeding of her finger by compressing it to her stomach. Her voice is a little muted, but the prior laughter seems to be keeping her even.

"You guys could have backed me up there. A little instead of letting me make an ass out of myself."

>>16795

Sighing to herself as she watched from a nearby bench, Moko could almost shake her head at the situation. Almost, for that would require a unwarranted use of effort. But, after all that Jenni had done for her, it would seem rude not to at least try and help. And being rude was a rather bad thing to be, due to the negative implications brought upon by society.

Begrudgingly and almost against her bodies own will, Moko gets up from her rather uncomfortable park bench, and looks up towards the direction Krieg went and the direction Jenni went. Noting the fact that both Gwen and Lucy went after her, Moko realized that she way probably going to be well taken care of…Hopefully. But, with the way Jenni looked, she needed something a bit more than comfort…She needed insurance. The practicality of this never happening again. Nodding as she gets up, Moko walked besides a nearby Tree, and took a short cut to the girl's dorm, where Krieg was heading. After shuffling around a bit, she finally spotted the lost tin man.

>>16807

"Hey…Uh, pal." She said, talking at him from in-front of a window, letting herself be consumed by her silhouette. "You look a bit lost. Although, after what ever you did to my friend, I don't blame you. I'd want to get lost too."

>>16822

"Sorry, I just showed up at the end, didn't know what was going on, but yeah, at least there's only one to worry about now, and hey, if he tries anything you just leave him to me, Gwen Masters doesn't let her friends get bullied by fuckheads, well that's assuming we're friends?" Gwen asked, somewhat hopeful at that last part, she HAD kind of bailed on their study session to try and get into the pants of what she was hoping would be her new girlfriend, speaking of she had no idea where Lilian was now.

>>16823

Krieg gave a sigh, still somewhat detached from conversation. "I didn't really… do anything… I thought…" He looked over his shoulder to see the girl watching him. "I was trying to find her room, but I'm afraid I'll hurt her more." At this point, Krieg didn't have any intent to introduce himself, apparently the name-brand clothing was introduction enough. How many people at this academy had his weapons hurt? He cringed a little thinking about it. "I could probably find my way out if I wandered enough."

>>16821

"Now that you mention it,that does seem a bit off, ya know I heard rumors the headmasters a right chancer. Heard someone caught them shagging a student." Seamus says hoping to spurr a discussion with his new friend.. "Oh feck, forgot to ask what's your name mate?"

He says almost wanting to facepalm for his stupidity, than again he was a bit drunk.

>>16828

Colin can feel himself smile again. "My name's Colin. A pleasure." Then suddenly the smile fades. "Wait, really? The headmaster tried to involve himself romantically with a student? That's so… Irresponsible."

>>16827

Tilting her head slightly, so as to help remove the stress on her neck, Moko frowned. Ugh. Great. Why couldn't this be just be as simple as black and white? Exhaling loudly, it seemed that who ever this was, they weren't meaning to ask for trouble. Probably. But yet they had found it. And that meant trouble for Moko, unfortunately.

"Uh. Okay, look. Howwa about we make this simple? Tell me your name, and what you did, alright? Takes a lot of the detective work off of me."

>>16822

Ouch.

Worst part about this was Jenni was right on the last part. Friends should support each other, not go against them.

Even when they're wrong.

Lucy realizes she wasn't being such a good friend back there.

Lucy tries to refrain from saying a pun like she'd normally do and treat the matter seriously. "I'm really sorry about that Jenni.

Didn't realize how much of this stuff meant to you, there's a whole lotta stuff happened to you we're only hearing about now.

But that's why I'm here. I want to know more about it Jen, and how I can support you."

>>16830

Had she really not recognized the brand clothing? This was a rather new experience. So far, everyone knew the brand, for better or for worse. "I'm Krieg Meadows, son of Manson Meadows, owner of ARES. It's an advanced weapons brand. Apparently I'm wrong for… existing…? ARES weapons hurt her, and she blames me. I tried to apologize and she ran off crying."

>>16829

"Or so I heard it's all just fecking rumours I doubt it's true, nice to meet you as well colin, say mate you up for sharing a few beers? I managed to smuggle in a bloody fuckton of blackstuff. My room's 306? I think if yer wanting to get a bit bolloxed with me." Seamus asks opening the large backpack he had carried in with him and revealing as he said a bloody fuckton of Guinness.

>>16824

[Jenni]

Jenni nods as she grimaces. "Thanks Gwen, I'd hug you but it would probably ruin your uniform. I'm going to need to bleach the shit out of this thing to get the blood out, even with those new cleaning agents they have. Look at it". Jenni looks hideous; there's a massive bloody handprint across her breasts - it is both quite visible and smeared against the white of it. There are also massive handprint on her left leg where she has periodically wiped. It's sort of gross.

>>16831

[Jenni]

Jenni nods. "Get me some beer or guns sometime and we can call it even or whatever. I'm not going to die in this shithole and let captain richy rich get a fucking statue on my corpse. The fact that you let me sleep in your room sometimes because I might get black bagged has earned you a bit of leeway, frankly."

She grimaces. "This sort of thing isn't that important. When we're in the field, important. This? Bullshit."

>>16834

"Nah it's cool, wouldn't be the first time I've been covered in blood, though first time it was human now I think of it, ah well, and hey if you need a place to stay you're welcome in my room, but anyways we should probably hed to the infirmary before you bleed out," She said as she slowly reached out a hand to help Jenni up and to the infirmary to take care of her hand.

>>16833

Colin sighs. "That's a relief." He then eyes the beer. "To tell you the truth I've never even had a sip of Alcohol. I am not even certain if I can get intoxicated. That being said, It would more than likely be a unique experience to find out. But…" Colin looks off in the direction of Massachusetts despite the distance he feels like he can still see the devastation he glimpsed on the way out of it… Colin begins speaking again his voice now more somber "I'm not certain that I'll have the luxury… I have much to learn in the Academy and time will only be on our side for so long…" Colin turns his gaze back to Seamus. "I should get to my room and unpack then prepare myself for my first class and orientation. I hope that I'll be able to see you around here again, Seamus."

>>16832

Looking over the guy, however lazy and uninspired Moko was, it was kinda obvious the man was not all that bad a guy. He seemed sincere enough. But, after listening to his explanation, it clicked well enough. Jenni, the war criminal she was, probably didn't think too kindly to the kid of a weapons manufacturer. Especially one with such a fancy robot body, and the all brand uniform he had.

"Uh, listen guy. I can't really force myself to care about some guns and junk. Sure, your dad make guns to kill people. Thats bad, I guess. But it makes sense for her to be mad. But to me, thats just the way things are. But I can get where shes coming from."

Coughing into her hand, she thought of a way to put it bluntly and effectively. "I just thought, like, you know, you had hurt her…Like, physically or emotionally right now. Oh. And my name is Moko."

"Alright mate be seeing you" Seamus says retreating to his room and having a drink.

>>16836

>>16837

"Nice to meet you I guess…" Krieg looked at her, defeated. "But she blames me. I told her I don't have relations to the company besides the occasional weapons test. I don't decide who to sell the weapons to. She blames me though…" He just stares down Moko for a moment before adding with a somber tone, "And you don't care at all. This isn't your conversation, or argument, or life. You have nothing to gain. Why do you even care?"

Colin takes one last glance in the direction of Massachusetts then continues on his way to the boys dormitory. He finds himself thinking little on the events that just happened beyond his desire to finish the debate on ARES. Colin Instead finds his thoughts drawn to the future and to the debt he owes the people of Massachusetts.

>>16839

[Minor edit. Don't care at all should read 'shouldn't care at all']

>>16848

Krieg returns the smile, albeit much smaller. "I mean, I'm not going to go out of my way to find her I suppose, but if she happens to run into me, I'm not going to be vicious. That'd just perpetuate her hatred of me. Maybe we will become friends." His smile quickly falters as he realizes the slim likelihood of that actually happening. "Are we friends?" Krieg asked shortly, almost blurring the words together as he spit them out. His face contorted in an attempt to give a smile, but fear clearly showed through.

>>16854

Moko looks at the robotic man, who towers over her with a little bit of a grin. Hm. She hadn't really expected that. There was a possibility. Of course, being friends with him would really piss Jenni off to a vast degree. Although, it may be a good enough way to end this feud before it escalates. Having myself as a middle party, especially one that could be considered a friend, would go a long way to stopping arguments.

"Eh. Maybe. We'll see." She scratches the back of her head, rather lazily. "Jenni and me are pretty tight. Besides, the last robot guy I met that was part robot, and asked if we could be friends got expelled. But uh, yeah, I see no major harm in bein acquaintances. Just uh, try not to ever run into Jenni. It'll bring you more harm than good."

>>16864

Krieg's grin faltered a bit at the maybe. It was almost certainly a no, but Moko clearly wanted to spare his feelings, he was sure of it. He tried to maintain the smile. "So… tell me about yourself, I guess," Krieg said as he moved over to slump against a wall, sliding down to the floor and crossing his legs. "I feel I've controlled most of this conversation with my problems. Unless you don't want to talk of course."

>>16876

>>16877

[Rewriting because post wording was awful.]

"It's more interesting than mine, y'know?" He looked at Moko. She wasn't like the people from the factory or mansion. None of them had ever had any troubles or worries, and neither had Krieg. He sat quietly for a moment before resuming conversation. "You're a techno-enhanced too? I'm only techno-enhanced because of my body and advanced weapons, but you've got powers! That's really cool, I'm jealous. So what are they?"

>>16835

>>16831

[Jenni]

Jenni lets herself be led by Gwen. "Thanks Gwen. Lucy, this isn't a big deal. I'll see you later at boxing club." Jenni staggers a bit as she stands, but recovers. "Oh, uh, don't worry, I'm fine. It's not that much blood." Jenni's twitch seems to have come back; this time her face moves a little bit as she lumbers to the med center.

She start mumbling as the shuffles. "…God we're going to have to find the fucking med center here. This is always death…but a little moreso than usual today….total bullshit…what a long day…..jesus that shithead looked like my ex….didIevertellyouabout..ugh….fuck look my finger…"

[Jenni heads to the med center with Gwen. She waves faintly at Lucy.]

>>16881

Moko looks at her left hand, placing it front of her face, looking it over, contemplating his words.

"I uh…Never really understood where my powers come from, I guess. One day, I just woke up with them."

In a flash of a moment, a small, silver chain is snaking its way through Moko's fingers. It seems to be moving withs its own accord, and the fluidity of a living creature. "I..Its hard to explain how my powers work, I guess. They just do. Maybe it has something to do with my parents? Specifically my father. I dunno. I am not even sure what it is. But uh, trust me. They work."

>>16891

"So weapon summoning and manipulation? That's really cool! I'd love to study you some time to try and learn how it works!" Krieg looks at the floor and grins widely. Quickly trying to cover his excitement, he adds, "I mean… uh… If you wanted or whatever. I just thought it'd be neat… So, any hobbies?"

>>16892

Watching as the chain slowly vanishes as it slinks behind one of her fingers, seemingly disappearing, she nods. "Trust me buddy, I don't even know how it works. That may however be because I haven't tried. So if you want, take a crack at it. But yeah, Hobby wise, I like miniatures. Ever hear of Warhammer 50k?"

>>16893

"I'd really like to try studying you once I get some equipment set up. And sorry though, I haven't done anything with miniatures. Wait! I did! I helped my dad do a ship in a bottle when I was seven! But nothing with Warhammer. Sorry."

[GM META: Scenes begun after this post will not be considered for the Update. Feel free to continue to fluff or salt as you see fit.]

>>16882

Major Yong Ki provides Jenni with a new uniform after suturing the student's thumb. Unfortunately, someone seems to have taken the rubbing alcohol from the medical center, so the blood that has reached Jenni's skin has to be cleaned off with hydrogen peroxide.

"Now, Miss Calicott. Just how did you get your thumb like that? Or do I have to ask Miss Masters?"

>>16999

[Jenni]

Jenni seems to go silent. "I bit my finger open so I could express how I felt to someone. After that I didn't really care and I just sort of smeared the blood everywhere. Gwen doesn't have anything to do with it really. I need to see a therapist or something."

>>17002

Major Ki's eyebrows raise. "I doubt you'd get much from the therapists in this facility, Miss Calicott. Frankly, they're here to make sure that we're all good little weapons, not to make us functional humans."

>>17016

[Jenni]

Jenni nods solemnly. "Maybe off campus then." Suddenly she frowns and looks at her anklet. "Dammit…well, thanks Major, hopefully I won't be in here for worse than this…but that's not fucking likely. It's probably morgue next time."

[Jenni]

Jenni eventually gets out of the clinic. She feels slightly better, and she adjusts her new uniform a bit. after that, she puts her palms to her face and makes an exasperated noise before withdrawing them.

>>17084

Colin walk through the Campus looking for the Clinic. After that woman injured herself that is essentially the only place she could go for treatment… Unless she knows someone else that can patch her up. Colin sighs. He realized a good hour after the ‘discussion’ that he had perhaps not noticed signs that they were not in fact having a debate on the worth of ARES and that the woman likely has suffered greatly at the hands of others. Given that, it is perfectly understandable that she would react as such to his and the others words. This could lead to bad blood in the future so he would need to apologize… That, and he has this strange new feeling inside of him and it feels, bad.

Colin looks up from his tablet and the map on it to see that he has arrived at the Clinic and can see Jenni standing outside of it, taking a deep breath he approaches her and in his even tone he says. “Hello, again. Do you have a moment to talk?”

>>17085

[Jenni]

Jenni looks at the man. She is visibly annoyed and sneers a little bit as she speaks. Her tone is slightly venomous. "God, not this again. Listen, if you think these people are the good guys you're going to learn a few things, and I can't teach them to you."

Following that statement, Jenni clenches both of her hands into fists as they stay at her sides. Her left thumb is visibly bandaged.

>>17086

Colin’s face remains neutral but he does raise his hands in surrender. “I just wanted to apologize, for earlier. I had misunderstood what was happening and as a result had a hand in forcing you away like that. It was not my intention to offend you or belittle your past struggles and I truly am sorry that I did so.” Colin’s voice remains even as he lowers his hands, but his red and inhuman eyes never break contact Jenni’s in an attempt to show his sincerity.

>>17087

[Jenni]

Jenni seems to ease a little bit, and she unclenches her fists. She still seems angry when she speaks again, slowly. "Past struggles. Past struggles. Yes. Past. Jesus christ, do you live in a bubble or something? Do you even know what this place does? Or what the creatures here do?" Jenni at this point cranes forward as her face turns into an odd admixture of disgust and confusion.

>>17088

Colin winces when he hears her mention ‘creatures’ and pauses for a moment to look to the west to America and… Massachusetts. He begins to speak, his tone as always, even. “Not a bubble no, but I was created in a lab by Doctor Nikolay, the Type 0.” Colin looks back to Jenni. “I know it is common for humans to say, ‘were you born yesterday?’ but for me, that statement would hold some accuracy for a few more hours.” Colin takes a breath and continues. “I am fully aware that those in the academy are to be humanities weapons, it is my entire reason to exist.”

Colin again looks to the west. “I don’t know if you’ve heard yet, but Massachusetts has fallen. After the doctors death the Commonwealth knew that they could only delay the inevitable so they spent everything they had to transport me here. Countless died to preserve the doctors work, believing that it, that I could help save humanity.” Colin looks back to Jenni, his voice is still even. “I am humanities weapon against those who would undo them, this is my truth.” Colin takes another breath before softly smiling at Jenni and saying evenly. “I’m sorry if you don’t like who I am as a person, but that is likely because I am not a very good imitation of a person.”

[Jenni]

Jenni eases. Her face seems to collapse into confusion and she pauses. After a few moments of evaluation, Jenni just sighs as she rubs her eyes with her hand; thumb into one eye, forefingers into the other. Her left elbow rests on her right hand.

Eventually Jenni starts again after withdrawing her hand from her eyes, and she looks at the man square in the face. "What's your name, bubble boy?"

>>17088

>>17089

Gwen lifted an eyebrow as she listened to this, having walked out of the infirmary behind Jenni. She shrugged and leaned against the wall, wanting to make sure Jenni didn't bite off an entire finger this time to 'prove a point'.

>>17091

Colin responds in his normal, even tone. "My name is Colin." He remembers that the large woman called her Jenni and decides to properly greet her."It is nice to meet you, miss Jenni."

>>17092

Colin glances at the other woman as though curious about who she is but looks back to Jenni.

>>17095

[Jenni]

"Alright Colin. You remind me of Data from Star Trek. Why did they bring you to this place, aside from the fact that you were born in a tube? I suppose it has advantages. No friends. No family. No obligations. Nothing to lose." She pauses. "Do you have anyone? Do you even have a cat or something? Even Data had the cat."

[She turns to Gwen]

>>17092

"Gwen, come here, we've got a vat grown here. And I thought my life was bad. At least I get to keep my organs until I croak."

Eventually Jenni turns back to Colin. From here she just sort of looks at him with a puzzled look. She's thinking about him, but it's not clear in what capacity.

>>17096

Colin blinks, not knowing the reference but responds anyway. “I was brought here because this was the only Academy that would accept me on such short notice. I am here because an Apocalypse Academy is the only place where I can learn to use my abilities to their full potential, for humanity. Or so I’ve been told.” Colin thinks for a moment before responding to her last question. “My escorts that took me here from Massachusetts are the only ones I have ever known that can be considered my friends. After they dropped me off here and said their goodbyes they left for Massachusetts again saying they would save as many as they could, their chances of still being alive are very slim.”

Colin again looks to the West, as though it is a nervous tick of his. “Besides them, The Doctor and his other creations are the only ones that could be considered my family and they all died or disappeared before I woke up in the lab.” Colin looks back to Jenni and speaks his tone even. “But that does not matter. The doctor clearly created me to be humanities salvation, and unless I can discover what makes me so special before it's too late, then I will be letting everyone down.” Colin looks back to the west and speaks again, his tone just a little somber. “Everyone.”

>>17025

The Major heads over to a drawer and pulls out what looks like a zippo lighter. "Watch your back if you head off campus, Miss Calicott. There is always a plot against this facility and others like it in the works." She tosses the lighter at Jenni. "Normal Zippo, until you depress the top while it is closed. Use it if you think you'll end up in the morgue."

[Jenni gains 'Zippo' Lighter before she leaves the medical center]

>>17099

[Jenni]

Jenni mumbles a little. She thinks for a few seconds, looking into him. Her left arm twitches a little bit, but then stops.

She squints. "Nobody then. Totally blank slate." She looks at him again, and seems sad. Quite suddenly, she moves toward Colin grabbing his head carefully rotating it toward her. Then, she grabs his left hand and puts it on her right breast; her movements are elegant and practiced. From here Jenni leans into Colin's left ear to speak; she smells of lavender and human blood.

She whispers to him. "… What do you feel Colin. Do you feel anything?" She waits for a response. Her voice is even, and sad. It is inaudible to any onlooker.

>>17104

Colin pauses for a few moments, then he closes his eyes and the air around him shimmers for a brief moment. Colin feels the warmth of her body, and the beating of her heart. It was faster than what he knew it should be, most likely due to the blood loss decreasing her baroreflex activation.

Idly Colin realizes that he had never touched a human before. Even his escorts had avoided physical contact, as though they were afraid to damage him. This is life, a part of the humanity he was created to protect. But, more than that. This is Jenni, the human before him, the woman before him. She smelt of blood and… Lavender. He felt… Warm?

Colin opens his eyes and speaks, his tone even but the faintest hint of red is upon his cheeks. “I do not know how to properly describe it but, I feel you. Your life in the palm of my hand. It is warm, and I can feel your heart. Your heart rate is also increased due to the blood loss. You shouldn’t hurt yourself again.” He decides to not mention that she also smells of Lavender.

>>17096

>>17099

"Hey kid, just cause some doctor claims you to be humanity's salvation doesn't mean you are, I could list off about six magical girls off the top of my head who think they're some sort of prophesied savior of mankind, two of them croaked their first battle and are dead," Gwen said from the wall she was leaning on, "So simmer down and enjoy yourself while you can, hey it even looks like you might have a girlfriend." She grinned cheekily as she watched Jenni's actions.

>>17107

The air around Colin shimmers once more and he removes his hand from Jenni’s chest and responds to the unknown woman, his tone even. “I am not human. I am fully aware that I may die before fulfilling the doctor’s designs.” Colin glances back to Jenni and then to the west. “Massachusetts did not die for me to enjoy life and get a girlfriend. I am here to become that which the Doctor envisioned.” Colin looks back to the woman. His tone even. “Doctor Nikolay was one of if not the only type 0 techno mage in existence. He was not just some mad scientist in a lab. His claim that I am to be humanities salvation is not a prophecy. It is a design, one that I must see through. I would very much appreciate it if you did not speak of the doctor like that again. Doing so appears to frustrate me.”

>>17106

[Jenni]

She whispers. "There's hope for you yet." Jenni then pulls away, noticing his very faint blush. From here she just smirks, then she opens her mouth and runs her tounge along her teeth with a determined gaze. "You aren't a thing."

From here Jenni just stares at Colin, deeply.

>>17107

[Jenni]

After a few seconds, Jenni breaks eye contact and turns to Gwen; she gives her a shit eating grin before adjusting her uniform slightly. It still doesn't fit right.

>>17110

>>17109

"Sure kid, whatever you say," Gwen said with a non-committal shrug, her eyes dancing with mirth at Jenni's grin, "You might not have a choice on the girlfriend part though, and besides that sort of thinking will get you killed before you even have a chance at fulfilling your 'Design'. Trust me on that kid if nothing else, attempting to go solo, especially with that mentality, will just leave you a broken shell having accomplished nothing. Anyways you two kids have fun, I've got some things I need to do." She started to walk away, one hand in her pocket, the other giving a lazy wave of farewell.

>>17110

Colin looks at Jenni again, her gaze was piercing and for a second he wondered if she could see into his being. He then responds his tone even. “Perhaps not, but I am certainly not human. I was created by humanity for a purpose. I must fulfill that purpose.”

>>17112

Colin nods to her as she leaves, she was right after all. If he went off on his own as he is now he would certainly perish and all of the efforts of the Doctor and Massachusetts would be for not. Colin looks within himself and what he sees makes him smile. He would not be alone forever, he needed to only become stronger.

>>17114

[Jenni]

She snorts to herself. "Suuuure. Bye Colin. I need to get going to boxing club. You should come over and hang out with Lucy and me. You know, and be human. We do sort of thing. Part of being human is being violent, but there's other stuff too. Or there's strategy club. You might like Moko, you're both weird. I mean, I'm crazy, but you are both weird." Jenni seems pleased with the last statement as being factually correct, and she nods a little after she says it. Jenni then waves slightly as she walks off; she is pulling on her rear end a little bit and the tugging seems…slightly relaxed. Odd.

>>17120

Colin is… Confused but he still waves goodbye to her as she leaves. "It was a pleasure speaking with you and your friend, Jenni. I cannot promise that I will come to these clubs but… Maybe."

Colin is still confused as he walks back to his room. He is not human, he told them so, why did they insist on treating him like one? Colin looks at a mirror in the room and regards his mostly human features, besides the red eyes, pale skin and prematurely gray hair he did appear entirely human. That must be why, he looks human so they treat him as one. Colin collapses onto his bed and stares up at the ceiling wondering. He did not require sleep, but he just felt like resting for a while as he took the time to think. Why had the Doctor given him a human body? Was it something he could not help do to the design, or intentionally? Colin desperately wishes that he could speak with the Doctor at least once.

Gradually his thoughts turn to Jenni and her invitations to the Strategy and Boxing club. He needed to improve himself and Boxing seemed useless to him but… Maybe he could join the strategy club. It could be a useful place to gain insight into what a largescale battle might be like and… It would be nice to speak with Jenni again. He glances at his palm again and remembers her warmth. His Cheeks color red once again and he then distracts himself with unpacking his few belongings into his Spartan room and preparing himself for his first class.

>>16894

Krieg stood up and turned towards Moko. "Anyways, I've got things to go get done. We can chat more later." Krieg walked off on his ways to leave the girls' dorms.

>>17168

Colin was leaving his room after he unpacked to find one of his teachers so that he could speak with them about his curriculum. As he is walking his mind idles to one of the people he had seen earlier that day, his name was… Krieg? He seemed fairly torn up earlier about the concept of ARES weapons hurting humans. Colin wondered if he would be- Suddenly Colin sees him in the same hallway as him, seemingly returning to his dorm room. Apparently they were neighbors. Colin decides to play along with destiny and greet the cyborg with his even tone, deciding it best to establish good relations with your neighbors. “Hello, we met earlier but I never had the chance to introduce myself. My name is Colin. It appears that we will be neighbors during our time at the Academy.”

>>17193

Krieg eyed the Colin over. He was the same boy from the crowd earlier, the one confused about ARES. "Krieg Meadows. Nice to meet you Colin… What did you say your lastname was?" Krieg extended his hand to Colin for a handshake.

>>17202

Colin grasps the man’s hand for the handshake and responds, his tone still even. “I do not have one. It is nice to make your acquaintance, Krieg.” After the Handshake Colin continues speaking. “Are you alright? You seemed depressed after the earlier incident.”

>>17205

"I'm fine. You can, um, let go of my hand now." At this point, Krieg's hand has gone limp as he waits for the boy to let go. "Odd that you don't have a last name. So… tell me about yourself?"

>>17211

Colin releases the man’s hand, okay so he didn’t have handshakes down yet, but he’d get there. Colin thinks of the man’s questions and how best to respond. “I assume you have heard of Nikiolay the Type 0 and the recent fall of Massachusetts?”

>>17213

Krieg gives a short laugh before speaking. "Not at all. Wanna talk about it in my room? I still need to unpack some stuff."

>>17214

Colin blinks but voices his agreement. “Sure.” Colin follows Krieg into his room and then starts to talk. “Honestly I am surprised that you haven’t heard of Doctor Nikiolay the only Type 0 Techno Magician humanity has ever known. To my knowledge he gained some fame for having claimed such a title.”

>>17216

Krieg leads Colin into his room where the oversized bag sits in the center. Krieg motions to his bed. "Make yourself at home. I have to set stuff up." He opens his bag and begins setting some charging equipment up around the room. "I probably heard something about it at some point, but it probably didn't catch my eye. Aside from direct weapons testing, I don't pay too much attention to the war. I really should now that I'm involved in it."

>>17225

Colin raises an eyebrow in curiosity. To think that ARES could afford to raise a child this sheltered from the world, that alone speaks of the power that they truly possess. “Well, to my understanding he gained the title of Typer 0 due to his unique abilities and the fact that he invented several new fields of science based on his research of the invaders. Using it he created a great barrier around a hidden city he created within Massachusetts that protected it for years.” Colin takes a deep breath and despite being inside looks to the west.

He continues speaking in his even tone. “Recently, as in around half a week ago the professor died. He was forced to use still experimental technology to stop an extremely large and dangerous attack and doing so cost him his life. The people of Massachusetts, desperate for salvation searched the good doctor’s lab and found… Me, with instruction from the Doctor that should he expire I was to be taken to an Academy and trained as humanities salvation.”

Colin pauses for a moment, simply staring to the west before continuing. In his even tone. “But, to do so they would have to break through a blockade of horrors that trapped them within Massachusetts. They would have to spend everything and, they did so. They knew that without the Doctor they could only bide their time and await death but, if they spent everything they had in one shot they could break through the blockade and get me to an academy. They saw it as sacrificing themselves for humanities future. And so, without a second thought, all of Massachusetts died for me, for the doctor, for the rest of Humanity.”

Colin blinks and looks away from the west and to Krieg, before speaking again. “Sorry I appear to have been ranting.”

>>17230

Krieg has finished setting up a device used in recharging his core should it run low for any anomalous reason. "Don't worry about it. So you're what, a powerful spellcaster too? A clone? And I'm sorry about Massachusetts, it must… hurt… to lose your home. You don't sound too messed up over it though." Krieg gives a grin before fishing through his bag for a few more things to set out. The recharge device had taken up a majority of the bag's space.

>>17245

( had some extra time before going to sleep, okay now I sleep for real)

Colin considers the man’s words, did it seem that way? He once again finds himself looking to the west, to Massachusetts. He can still see it. The Destruction, he had only glimpsed as he was rushed out of Massachusetts, he can still see it. Colin blinks and begins to speak with his even tone. “I do not know, most things are new to me. I may have failed to convey this in my story but until very recently I was inside of a tank, unconscious with only basic information being streamed into my brain. I feel… Something when I think of Massachusetts but I believe it to be determination. A driving point to make me continue on and better myself. If I do not become the best that I can, then all of Massachusetts will have died for nothing, I cannot allow that to happen.”

Colin looks back to Krieg and speaks again. “As for what I am, I have been designated as a Techno Enhanced and I can assure you I am not a clone of the Doctor. I am uncertain if there is any human inside of me. To my knowledge the doctor created my with his abilities to become humanities weapon against those who would lay them low. To forge myself into a savior befitting of the being called the Doctors ‘greatest project’. I was created so that humanity could live on.”

>>17252

"Determination? Good choice of words." Krieg chuckles a little and sits on his bed. "So you're a weapon too? I'm a techno-enhanced with barely an human inside me either, so I guess we're pretty similar, aside from you being organic. You don't have to be so serious either you know. I was also 'created so that humanity could live on' through ARES brand weapons." Krieg stares at Colin for a moment as if he wants to say more before giving a wider grin. "Just, find yourself, y'know? We aren't just weapons."

>>17294

Colin thinks on the man’s words, he supposed that there were some similarities besides the obvious differences. For instance, this man apparently has a life beyond this academy. Suddenly Colin feels a pang of… Something. He is not certain of just what it is but, it felt bad. Colin almost can’t help himself as he responds. “You, aren’t just a weapon. You have a life beyond this academy. I was created, no, designed for a singular purpose, one which I intend to fulfill.” Colin sighs and looks to the west once again. “If I shirk my responsibilities, then, not only will I have trampled upon the hopes and dreams of all those who sacrificed themselves and their loved ones to bring me here. But, I will have put many lives that I could have otherwise saved in great danger.” Colin looks back to Krieg. “I refuse to do so.”

>>17336

Krieg gives another small laugh at Colin's refusal to relax. "Are't you shirking responsibility right now? I mean, we're all here at the academy for the same purpose, but we certainly aren't working to fight anything right now. Take your battles where you can, do what you wan't when you can't." Krieg lays on his back. "We'll save lives when we're in combat. Until then, we'll enjoy our free time."

>>17377

Colin can see how it seems that way to Krieg but Colin does not share that idea that this was relaxing. “I am here attempting to establish a good relationship with my neighbor, I assure you once our first classes start and I can participate in extra credit or bonus materials I will be doing so, as often as I possibly can.”

Colin pauses for a moment to see if he can explain his ‘theory’ about how life at the academy will work. “I have heard the Apocalypse Academies are very similar to schools, nobody becomes incredible or spectacular in a few short weeks or month, but I ask you. If I were to put forward twice the effort, twice the time into my studies and into improving myself as is required, how much stronger will I be compared to if I just participated normally? I believe that just as with an ordinary school, if I apply myself more then, the results will show more.”

Colin clenches his fist and translucent Hex shaped plates that seem to rapidly and flawlessly shift from hues of green, orange and red suddenly surround him, filling the room with a brilliant light. “I shall spend my time at this Academy well, of that I can assure you. I shall leave it with the knowledge that I had done everything within my power to better and improve myself. I will forge myself into the savior Doctor Nikiolay designed me to be.” The light slowly fades along with the hex shaped plates. Colin looks at Krieg as if questioning if he can find any flaw within his resolve or theory.

>>17380

Krieg's eyes widen a bit at the hexes as his grin widens. "Again, it's important to try hard, but you'll wall eventually. As you stated, no one goes from regular to incredible in an instant. Give yourself some time and some space for additional work, but also give yourself some time for freedoms. You act like I'm not aiming for top of class too." Krieg's grin widens further. "But I don't beat myself up over knowing I'll hit a wall, I just know that it'll take time to overcome it, and having a one track mind would only impair my ability to overcome it."

>>17389

Colin responds and although his tone is still even, a grin appears on his face as well. “If I hit a wall then the answer is simple, I need only to break through it. One advantage of not being human is that the same limits more than likely will not apply to me, and I am going to press and push against them until I find out.” Colin pauses for a moment to think of the future before continuing. “This conversation was quite intriguing, was there anything else you wished to discuss with me?”

>>17390

"I was just hoping to hang and chat. You're welcome to stay longer if you like. Also, there's something on your face, I think it's a grin." Krieg laughs at his own joke. "And I'm not exactly human at this point either. When I hit a wall, I attach more weapons. Considering we're both aiming to be the strongest in our class, I suppose we're rivals then?" Krieg holds out his hand, offering another handshake.

>>17392

Colin responds evenly and although the grin fades mirth is still apparent on his face as he reciprocates the handshake and speaks in his even tone. “I suppose that sounds fine to me, a rivalry to push us both to better ourselves sounds interesting.” Colin releases Krieg’s hand and, after internally celebrating that he mastered the ‘handshake’ he thinks on whether or not he has more time to spend but, until his first class starts there really isn’t much he can do. He isn’t permitted to use any training facilities until after his orientation so all he could really do is speak with an instructor about his curriculum here.

Colin decides on what to do. “My options are pretty limited until after orientation, how would you like to come with me to the cafeteria for lunch? Although, if we come across an instructor along the way, I’d like to stop and speak with them.” Colin gestures to the door as he mentions the cafeteria and arches an eyebrow.

>>17396

"I don't see a problem with it. I mean, I don't eat often. I'd be happy to go with you." Krieg stands up and stretches, something else he doesn't need to do. He walks to the door and opens it. "Lead the way."

>>17399

Colin smiles and leads the way to the Cafeteria. Referring to his map as guidance. Along the way he keeps an eye open for instructors. He decides to make small talk. “So, where are you from anyway? I talked much about myself but I don’t know much of you beyond your relation to ARES.”

>>17399

>>17401

As the two of them enter the Cafeteria, they see Moko sitting all alone, eating a small bowl of noodles. She seems to be half asleep, and is sluggishly chewing on the noodles that hang limply from her mouth. She looks up, fork mid bite as Krieg and Clovis walks in.

>>17401

>>17414

"I'm the son of it's owner, I got hurt when I was younger, and I ended up in this body as a result. I basically did weapons testing for a long time. It really is a short story. I mean, I also studied a good bit of weapons theory, but that's about it. Lot's of weapons." Krieg said, not sounding very attached to his story. He takes note of Moko, sitting alone. "There's a girl over there I know. Well, I met her earlier today. Wanna go talk to her?"

>>17414

>>17416

Colin nods in acknowledgement of Krieg’s story but inwardly ponders as to why he seems so detached when he speaks of it. At least he has a past beyond a day ago. Colin beats back the bad feeling he gets once again, deciding that it must be what Envy feels like. It’s useless.

Colin voices his agreement in his even tone. “I see no reason not to, odd that we haven’t seen a single instructor. But no use fighting it.” Colin walks with Krieg over to the girl and greets her. “Hello, I am Colin. Krieg’s neighbor and apparently I am also his rival. Krieg claimed to know you from a past interaction and recommended that we speak.” Colin awaits a response.

>>17418

Moko looks up idly, slurping up the few noodles in her mouth, rather sloppily. After finishing the bite, she drags a napkin over her mouth. "Yo. Hey, Krieg right?" She says as she notices the obvious Cyborg. "And whos your friend?"

>>17421

"Yeah, Moko. This is Colin. He just introduced himself." Krieg doesn't bother seating himself, he just sort of towers over Moko.

>>17424

"Colin was. I don't eat." Krieg takes a seat across from Moko. "I'm just here to hand with Colin, and I guess you now too."

>>17424

>>17425

Colin speaks up, his tone even. "I don't need to eat per say, but I still can. Would you recommend any of the food? I have only ever eaten an MRE before this point. It wasn't very good."

>>17426

>>17425

Raises a eyebrow at the two. Huh, thats weird. What kinda people don't eat? Thats my fifth favorite thing to do, aside from sleeping. "Uh…Well, to be honest, they have a lot of variety…Uh…They have a lot of good Chinese and Japanese food.." she says, taking a another bite of her own dish.

She looks around. "I'd..Uh, recommend something German..That food tastes pretty swell, and uh, ain't too hard on the stomach. Mostly." she mentions as she points towards the Germanic foods area.

>>17427

Colin nods in appreciation to Moko before excusing himself in his even tone. “I appreciate the advice, thank you. I look forward to trying out some real food.” With that Colin leaves the two alone for a short while as he makes a plate comprised of bits of every kind of Germanic food he can fit on it.

(Please pretend I did this before Krieg started talking)

>>17430

>>17427

"So…" Krieg looks for something to talk about, not really having many topics to discuss with Moko. "I set up my room."

>>17432

"Oh? Really? Thats cool. First thing i did when I got here was buy a buncha pillows and cushions and a big TV. Pretty nice and comfy. Also got a Space Heater. Gets cold up here, you know?" She said, putting the chopsticks down. "You have anything?"

>>17433

"A giant machine that pumps extra energy into me should my battery ever run low for whatever reason. I also unloaded some books that cover advanced weapon theory. I plan to get a television and some more specialized work tools when I get my off-campus pass. I don't think I have everything necessary to study your powers." Krieg pokes at his left hand aimlessly.
