Welcome to Gaia! ::

The hour was getting late and there was a strange tension in the room. Regina was acting pretty awkward around him. Porter had never been very good in these situations so he dismissed it.

"Well, I guess you have time so I won't dwell on it. One of my given jobs is to help guide my team into making future plans," He stood up and ushered her out of his office, "It's almost curfew so I don't want to be the reason you get in trouble with the hall monitors. Have a good evening."

He bid himself a good night and left for his quarters.

His golden eyes flared slightly as the creation of both his immagination and powers dissappeared, dropping the bag onto the floor near the bed. Grinning slightly, he turned as he heard Jamie.

"Hey Jamie, I was wondering where you had hidden yourself! It is a long time, sorry about that, and 'that thing' is...well part of my mutant powers. The wings weren't enough I'm guessing."

"England was alright I suppose, still cold and wet though, but Tokyo was terrible. The actual city was nice, but running around looking for a specific person in the crowds they had... By the time I'd found the employer he had already filled the space which meant I had to find another job for the last few weeks of my stay, the landlord barged the door open a few days before the rent was due and saw my wings and completely freaked out so I had to do that whole running...well flying...thing again. You know, I'm actually going to have a holiday one of theese days that doesn't end in tears!"

He walked into the bedroom, leaving the door open, and sat on the bed after having a quick look around the place.

"Now, I know that Morgan is being lazy in a hospital bed and Penny looks like she's had an argument with the Danger Room, but what about you?"

"Ruling the world sounds good and all, but I'd settle for ruling a coffee shop at the moment....Wait...Vote for Pietro! You have got to be kidding me! Who in their right mind would vote for him, he's insane!"

Matt shook his head slowly, he already knew who he was voting for if the alternative was Pietro.



(Btw, to the person who plays Pietro as I forgot his gaia name >.<', I love the 'A vote for Pietro is a vote for Pie' campaign slogan ^^)

OOC: Heh, I wanted Regina's slogan to be A Vote for Regina is a vote for Cake but she is the 'serious' candidate wink j/k Nice to have you back Cloud. If everybody is willing, I'd like to aim for prom time begin next week. Anyway, I'll post tonight or if I have time today. I'm going to observe a class for a teachign job I'm interviewing for.


"And the powers that be in our government sanctions this?" Principle Kelly said on the phone with some unknown person.

The person replied, "In so many words. Ahab's hounds is just one step in keeping an handle on mutants. Keeping them inline."

Kelly rubbed his forehead. He long suspected he had mutants in his school's grasp. He wasn't sure where his conscience would go with this one. He thought the mutants needed to be examples. They needed to be kept in line. They were taking over the school and making it their own playground. But a nagging voice in the back of his head kept telling him that they were only kids.

"As long as nobody gets hurt, you have my permission. Prom will be held next week. Large quantities of students. You can round them up then," Kelly hung up the phone with a feeling of nausea at what he just agreed to. But examples had to be made. Zero tolerance for mutants had to be shown. Bayville High was not going to become a mutant stomping ground.

ooc: actually, I've forgetten where Gen is. I know regina just got done with a talk with porter... and is headed to the bedroom. *flop* my brain dead.

OOC: I'm going to push ahead in time again. Back to school we go. Anybody want to be in history to debate the pros and cons of the Crusades? smile

IC:

"DAMMIT!" Penny said as she hopped back to her room on her cruches. Regina was already up there. She looked up from a textbook.

"What's wrong?"

"I completely forgot about the debate in history class," She threw her crutches onto the ground and flopped onto bed. Grabbing a textbook out of her bag, she yawned. That night, she fell asleep trying to formulate a reason why the Crusades were good.

The next day at school, Penny drove in Regina, Matt, Jamie, and Kurt. [OOC: If morgan went back to school yet, he can fit in too somewhere.] The debate and the tests that day didn't really concern her. The whispers from the kids down the hallways did. Sometimes hearing things she shouldn't was a curse.

Loud as day, they said things like:

"I saw in the Enquirer today that some weird reptilian mutant was hunting down and arresting other mutants. I know its the tabloids, but there was a picture."
"I read on the Internet that a telepath came an arrested suspected mutant terrorists. It was kind of sad because it was a mom and her two daughters. I know they're mutants, but that doesn't make it right."

Is this really what the world is coming to or are these just bad rumors? Really, though, she wasn't surprised by such a thing happening. She just wondered where the line would be drawn. How far was too far and who was going to stop this abuse of mutants?

"I don't like those whisperings," Penny said to Regina before history class, "Government programs that the government sanctions behind closed doors... mutants arresting mutants. What's the world coming to?"

"They're just rumors. Since when did the Enquirer have anything reliable to say?" Regina opened the door to their History class and they both walked in and took their seats. For the moment, Penny almost dreaded seeing Jacen in class after feeling like she made a total a** of herself the day before.

"Okay, what was that about?" Penny asked Regina when a few of the girls from Jacen's fan club gave her a rediculously evil look. Ignoring it, she started chewing on a peice of gum to curb that need for a cigarette and pulled out her notes.
