The party still needed something. For such a competitive crowd, there had to be a game. A competition of some sort. Perhaps a classic would do. Properly upscaled to the players involved.

Party prep always took awhile. Mike had been out of the castle for a few days now pulling strings, which seemed a bit rude considering he had just arrived. But it was all for the kids. And now he was back.

Standing behind the school, he drew a wand that looked rather like a silver conductor’s baton out of the air, and began waving it about.… Read more

“Welcome, Dova. By helping them out in a mostly meaningful way taking down my little challenge, you’ve won yourself a ticket to a party later tonight. You can probably bunk by yourself if you like, considering the size of the school. But hey, what does an old man like… Read more

((Ash is in the war room? Also I typed a rather long post out. Then accidentally deleted it. So this one is gonna be a bit more of a summary :P))

The dummy slipped on a patch of ice and fell backwards, particles of metal splattering into the air. The metal ignites, smallest bits first, then bigger ones, until the whole thing explodes… Read more

Mike laughed softly. “Hey, chucklehead. I know you just joined, so I’ll take it easy thus time. But this is a magic exercise. Punching ain’t gonna do nothing.” The gauntlets punched straight through the dummy, as if it was quite suddenly liquid, leaving it seemingly unharmed.

However, the dummy was too distracted by jerrel to do anything-… Read more

Mike scratched his head and raised a hand, just as the explosion detonated on the surface of the metal man. The man paused, explosion in midair, as if he had hit the pause key on a universal remote. “Alright. Fighting each other right now isn’t gonna help anyone learn. I may not be as experienced in teaching as your principal, but I know… Read more

“Sounds like enough magical power for me. But keeping a dummy in one piece sounds like no fun at all. Perhaps something more interactive. I haven’t summoned in a long while.” Michael walked out the office and yelled out, his voice magically echoing from every wall in the school. “To the gym, chuckleheads! Time for a bit of training!”

~In the… Read more

Michael made a mental note of most of the students, but figured he’d learn as he went. “Ha, if they had either of our masters most of these kids would be dead in a week.”

“Well then. Jerrel, Thomas, allow me to introduce myself. Michael Ken. Part time guardian of the universe. I’ll be helping out at the school from now on. Perhaps putting… Read more

“Well then. Jerrel, Thomas, allow me to introduce myself. Michael Ken. Part time guardian of the universe. I’ll be helping out at the school from now on. Perhaps putting more focus in magic and less physical abilities, since I’m sure Godal has beaten you all into the ground physically enough times by now.”

Michael stepped around the students… Read more

Michael shook his head. “Only you would keep a wolf with a sword in your office, Godal. Only you.” He shook his head teasingly, grinning. “So. I was looking for something to do. Nothing seems to be taking over the universe at the moment. Any chance you need an extra hand? I’m sure there are a few tricks I could teach that you never… Read more

“Ha, always up for a fight, aren’t you?” Mike ducked under the swing and dropped into a roll, coming up behind Godal as he summoned a brilliant white blade of his own, quite a bit smaller but glowing with energy. His other hand began swirling with a black mist. Mike brought the blade up defensively, expecting a quick second attack from… Read more

And here was the old friend, right on time. Michael Ken arrived with a bang, as he often did. A black and white streak fell from the sky, striking the ground in front of the school’s entrance. When the dust cleared, a man was on one knee, a hand sweeping through the air to ward off the excess dust and energy.

Rising, he turned and looked up… Read more

Name: Michael Ken

Age: *chuckles softly* Old enough, kid.

Grade: Teacher

Gender: Male.

Appearance: Michael- or Mike, he doesn’t mind that- appears to be in his mid forties. A lean, muscled man with quite a bit of scruff. He often wears sunglasses around, and wears a pair of black pants and a white button up shirt. His eyes are a… Read more

“Portable. I’m looking for a way to see from multiple perspectives at once. What I had in mind was glasses based. A screen on a pair of glasses, or some other sort of visor. I’d prefer movable cameras, but I’m willing to bet the city has enough surveillance themselves. Hacking into that network could be sufficient if you’re not up for… Read more

“Um. No, no other questions.” Ash turned to leave quite quickly, then turned back. “Oh, wait… actually… if I wanted to try to practice maybe. Where could I do so with the smallest possible chance of blowing up the school? The war room?”

“A trip to the woods sounds lovely, though forgive me if I’m a bit suspicious of it. It sounds rather sketchy. Perhaps another student could come along. Until then, I want to try to learn my gift here. I didn’t come to have it removed. I’ve finally come to terms with it. So… A month. I’ll try to keep it under control until then.” Ash raised… Read more

“I…” Okay, that was interesting enough. But not terribly helpful. “I don’t know if that’s really true for me. I kinda avoided people even before I had powers. And I never saw much use for them until now. They just seemed… dangerous. But they haven’t activated since, and I don’t know how to, you know…” Ash trailed off and looked at… Read more

Ash blinked. Wait, where was everyone? Weren’t they all in the gym just a moment ago? Perhaps more sleep would be a good idea. Passing out in the middle of important things like this wasn’t good. Now, to find the rest of the team… they probably went off to start strategizing. Some leader Ash was.

Just then Godal’s voice came on the… Read more

((Ash continues to wait for a response from Godal after asking him what he wanted to say about Ash’s powers))

Ash nodded back and got up, giving Miwa some space. “If you want to join us when you’re feeling better, I’m gonna find us a room after I talk to Godal. Feel free to come help us plan our team out. You’re pretty strong and I hope you’ll help us.” Ash gave a halfhearted smile and turned, walking to Godal. “So.” A slight awkward pause. “My powers?”

Well, this was the team. Adastrea was nowhere to be seen. Miwa was huddling in a corner. At least Tom was amicable enough. “Hello, Tom. One second.” Ash had never been good at comforting anyone, but Miwa needed some comfort now and there wasn’t much of anyone else. If she was going to be on the team… The team might as well try to be there… Read more

My team? What the… what? Perhaps this was just Godal trying to strengthen their weak points again, but… surely he couldn’t mean to make Ash the leader? That man… god… thing had entirely too much faith in their abilities. Still. You have to try.

“I. Uh.” Ash said, hardly over a murmur. “Guys come on. Let’s… uh… go find a room for… Read more

A lot of what Jerrel said didn’t make much sense to Ash. The strong ruled and the weak submitted, right? Ash had always been weak. Weak people belonged in the shadows. Where strong people wouldn’t slap them into walls.

Godal was strong. He demanded respect. But Jerrel thought differently. With Jerrel, respect was a two-way road. You had… Read more

Welp, that was that. Apparently the teams were not up for debate. Maybe he made them so purposefully unbalanced hoping they’d pull together and settle their differences. Maybe it would work. Who knew. For now Ash was watching events unfold, wide-eyed. If there was a moment of silence, Ash would slip in a question. “So… what is our first task as a team?”

Whoa. All the troublemakers so far were on the same team. All the strongest ones. Meanwhile, Ash had… the healing angel, a new guy with as of yet no noticeable power, and a witch who slept all the time. Normally Ash wouldn’t have said anything, but… “Don’t these teams seem a little unbalanced?” Awkward silence for a second. Well, in for… Read more

Ash’s head shook ‘no’. No questions. Let’s just get started.

Ash waited quietly and awkwardly, fists unclenching after the punch. Groups? Oh great, teamwork…

==> also install audio out device and sing a haunting opera melody

==> try to make something useful out of the spare metal. Like a ladder. Or a spring. Or stilts.

 

Ash.

Ash watched it all quietly, then turned to Jerrel, the only person they’d already talked to some. “Are they always like that?”

A few minutes later, the heavily disguised Lucas was making his way through the back alleyways of the arclight district. He hadn’t been in this district since the cult days, but that gang was long dead and gone. However, he did remember a few key places, even if they wouldn’t know him. After all, he had a new face, and it had been… Read more

Do what now? Physically, Ash was definitely the weakest person in the room. Still, it was worth an effort. Ash waited a bit for Baylet to do her thing before making an attempt. Getting into a sort of fighting stance that looked like it came out of a bad kung-fu movie, Ash brought a fist back and swung it in a wide circle, hitting Godal’s hand… Read more

Install third eye in your face and use it for HILARIOUS SHENANIGANS.

Lucas mulled things over that night. Some stuff had gone rather well. Some hadn’t. Most notable was that more force had responded than he expected. As silly as it sounds, you never really think that when you summon a monster that it’s going to actually be attacked by other people. The police force was some trouble  in that regard. Lucas had… Read more

Ash had been doing a lot of thinking lately. Thinking about weirdness, in particular. Everyone here seemed to accept their strangeness so easily. Demons, magic… It was all so foreign. At first, it seemed even worse than other schools. Fitting in with these people seemed impossible. But the truth was, this was the only place Ash could be sure… Read more
