King James School for Superheroes - RP Thread

Lin's hand brushes along Victor's thigh, and she smirks at his nervousness. Looking at Rebecca, Victor sees a flash of...was that jealousy? It disappears quickly. "Yep - been thinking about what to call ourselves." Siobahn motions to the bong in a feel free gesture, before continuing. "We won, yeah, but it was a hell of a fight. People get real competitive over these fights."

Victor glanced over at Lin as she put her hand on his thigh, giving her a look of surprise, though he didn't push her away iust yet. She certainly was a very... forward girl. As he looked at Rebecca, he didn't quite know what to make of that look, maybe he was imagining things. Victor didn't go for the bong, when it was offered. He had no idea how to use the thing and he didn't want to embarrass himself on their first meeting.

'Congrats. I can imagine it get quite intense,' Victor nodded, trying to keep his eye son eye level as he spoke to Siobahn, 'Becca and I used to spar too and we got real competitive about it too. I wonder who I'll be teamed up with.'

“Really, now.” Sophia raised an eyebrow, then chuckled as well.

“Not really. The invisible guy claimed that he represents someone very special, and supposedly she wanted to see my again. But even if we assume he was telling the truth, that doesn't narrow things down much, as I have met plenty of women of various ages, but the melting thing does not match any of them.” The purple-clad sorceress had not used anything similar the one time Sophia had met her, but that did not prove - or disprove - anything. “Of course, the mysterious woman might have intentionally done this in a way that can't be easily connected to her... and that's if we assume the guy was telling the truth and not bullshitting me.” Sophia explained, then noticed that while they had been talking they had gotten back to the house. “Follow me.” She led the way to where her mother had told her to leave the boxes with decorations.

"Fair enough. Keep me updated - or someone else at the school, if you hear anything." Mouse says responsibly, though responsibility seems a bit foreign to her. Camilla starts ordering the heroine around after they get back, using the unfortunate thief as manual labor.

"Eh, sis. Up here." Julia calls out from the second floor. "Wanna keep me company while I keep a lookout for dad?"

 

[Tjf]

He groaned. These attacks looked kind of painful. And he didn’t really want to test how not painful they would be in the simulation. It was obvious the ninja didn’t want to get close so he somewhat reluctantly lifted his arm in the air and closed his fist, aiming to bring the rafters and roof down on where they were hiding without trying to completely shatter the area right on top of him and Miri either.

Miriam grabs Lucas by the shoulders from behind. His skin starts to tingle where she touches him, and though he's not quite sure what she's doing, he knows he likes it. His body courses with energy, with power, and when he raises his arm, the area of the roof above implodes violently in a spray of wood, hit by a miniature gravity well. The cold night air flows through the hole Lucas put in the roof, and a man in stereotypical and not particularly historically accurate black ninja robes falls to the ground next to Lucas, moaning softly, before the light shimmers and his hologram disappears. Despite the victory, it seems the threat isn't over, as a half dozen more ninja appear from a false floor, wielding swords and other melee weapons, as they approach the trainee heroes.

“Will do.” Sophia promised.

“Sure!” The blonde replied. Might as well spend some time with sis while I can. Not like I have anything better to do while waiting... She walked upstairs to join her older sister, leaving her mother to handle the rest of the preparations, and the unfortunate burglar to help her.

Lin's eyes flash purple for just a moment, and Victor gets a brief vision of her on top of - yep, definitely his torso. She grins, but doesn't move her hand any closer to his junk. It seems she has some restraint.

"They have limiters in the arena to keep you from going lethal, but otherwise, people go all out." Siobahn nods. "You can join a team with anyone willing to take you - but they have to be in the same year level, meaning that you can't team up with your cousin. There's a tournament system - each year level competing among themselves. Winners get some kind of prize, but I don't know what it is - we came in fourth last year." She sighs.

He channeled his power, at first getting ready to crush the area focusing, then for his eyes to widen and let out a sharp gasp at the pain of feeling the pressure leave an audible cracking sound in his ribs. He was getting ready to bear through it until he felt Miriam’s touch. He was stunned by her getting so close when he told her not to, but the feeling of the pain becoming more manageable told him to go for it.

The results were what he expected and while he wanted to ask her about if, there wasn’t much more time for more than a brief nod of thanks before turning his attention to the rest. Fighting this many up close would be a problem, even for him. He needed to divide them a bit. But if he moved they would be able to go directly for his partner behind him. Even he doubted this would end well, but he got ready to just move in quickly and hopefully blindside them thinking he would go on the defensive.

"Well in that case, I guess it's my heroic duty to rescue the lady from her hunger." Moving through the streets with her on his arm, Mark leads her to a food stand, where a man in Japanese clothing works a fryer. "I know a restaurant is more traditional for a date, but trust me - you have to try this. Best Takoyaki in the city." Mags has little frame of reference, but she can't deny that the balls of fried squid are pretty damn mouthwatering. They sit down on a bench to eat, Mark subtly using his power to flatten out the anti-homeless spikes, as he speaks to her. For all his confidence, he doesn't seem to have a lot of ego - as he speaks to her, he mostly keeps the conversation about her, listening intently and with seemingly genuine interest as she talks about her life with Violet, her interests, her judo training, etc.

"Damn..." Grumbling sounds audibly from Mark's stomach after a short period of silence. "You mind waiting for a minute? I've got to go hit the bathroom." He gets up, heading to find a public toilet. As Mags waits for him, loud raucous laughter alerts her to the presence of three young guys in work gear, walking tipsily through the street. They eye Magenta up, but one of them does a double take and approaches her. "Hey... Don't I know you from somewhere?" The rough looking man drawls. "I'm sure I've seen you before."

For a moment, Magenta was genuinely puzzled why the man would think he knew her. By her best recollection she'd never seen him before, nor any of his friends. Then realization dawned on her that he may have seen one of the many porn videos made of her alter ego Lifeline after one of her defeats. Embarrassed and humiliated at the prospect of being confronted by some random guy on the street over it, Mags blushed beet red and shrunk where she was sitting.

"I-I don't think so." Magenta replied shifting in her seat and working to avoid eye contact with the man.

"Hey." Julia sits by the window, looking unusually sad. "It's, uh...gonna a be a while before we're together again, huh? Assuming they work like a normal school with semesters... A few months at least."

Victor blinked, totally floored and looked at Lin in shock. What the hell was that? Is that her one of her powers? He had no idea how to react to that. He blushed deeply, and had to adjust his seat a little as his pants got tighter at the sight of that.

Barely registering what Siobahn had said, He shot Rebecca a look, kind of sad they couldn't team up, but Victor said, 'Fourth... that's not too bad. I have yet to meet another first year. I hope I'll get a decent team... and not drag it down with my mediocre powers.'

Lucas' rushing attack does indeed catch them by surprise. Getting in the middle of them, a quick punch puts down one of his assailants, while another grabs him from behind and gets an elbow to the jaw for his trouble. Adrenaline rushes through him, making him feel alive, and he barely notices as a sword slices through the skin of his chest, leaving a diagonal gash.

"Hey." Julia sits by the window, looking unusually sad. "It's, uh...gonna a be a while before we're together again, huh? Assuming they work like a normal school with semesters... A few months at least."

Sophia quickly made her way to the window and hugged her sister. “Come on, sis, don't be sad. Sure, I won't be home, but phones are a thing, so we can keep in touch. Plus I might be able to come visit, or you might be able to come visit me. So it doesn't have to be that long before we see each other again.” She tried to reassure Julia and make her feel better about the whole thing. “So don't be sad. You're prettier when you smile.” She added as she ended the hug and pulled away, looking at her sister.

"Nah, I'm sure. I wouldn't forget someone like you, girl. Wait... Holy shit! I remember!" He chuckles, pulling his phone out of his pocket and tapping at it. His friend looks at it and grins "Shit, yeah! I've seen her too! She does defeated heroine porn! Love that shit!" You have such loyal fans... How sweet of them. "You doing some kind of schoolgirl scene? Need some male talent, baby?"

Lin can't help but chuckle, and Rebecca glares at her.

"Hey, your powers aren't mediocre." Rebecca scolds him. "A little early to speculate so far. So, you do anything for fun, Victor?" Siobahn raises an eyebrow.

Julia squeezes back. "I'm always pretty, dumbass." She sniffles a little, but smiles. "Hey, do you ever... Is it hard, having those kind of powers? Like, does it hurt, or something? I wonder why I didn't get any."

Lin can't help but chuckle, and Rebecca glares at her.

"Hey, your powers aren't mediocre." Rebecca scolds him. "A little early to speculate so far. So, you do anything for fun, Victor?" Siobahn raises an eyebrow.

Victor looked at Rebecca, 'You tell me, but with people able to fly and stuff, moving water around seems a bit weak, Becca. How are you getting on with the team matches?'

'Oh, for fun?' Victor shrugged, 'I go swimming a lot, other than that... I don't know, normal stuff? Movies, books, video games. Oh, and I like to ride my motorcycle, not sure how that would work at the school grounds, though.'

 

[Omega98]

"You doing some kind of schoolgirl scene? Need some male talent, baby?"

"Oh God..." Magenta thought to herself and her blush immediately disappeared as the blood drained from her face. Humiliated beyond belief Magenta just wanted the three of them to go away, her deal with the spirit not even entering her mind.

"I don't do 'Defeated Heroine Porn'," she said mustering up whatever indignant voice she could while still sulking in her seat. "I do... I don't do porn at all!" she yelled flustered "That stuff shouldn't be up okay. Those site moderators should take those videos down." The young woman shook her head. "If you must know I'm on a date right now okay. So whatever you want just... get it over with and leave please. I'd rather you guys not be here when he gets back."

 

[moonblack]

Julia squeezes back. "I'm always pretty, dumbass." She sniffles a little, but smiles. "Hey, do you ever... Is it hard, having those kind of powers? Like, does it hurt, or something? I wonder why I didn't get any."

“Well, I can't speak about other people, but as far as my powers go, no, they don't hurt. It might be different for other people, I don't know, but I am lucky enough to have powers that do not hurt. And so far it has not been particularly hard to have my powers. I hope it stays that way.” Sophia smiled at her sister. “As for why I got some while you didn't... I have no idea.” She admitted with a shrug. “Who knows, maybe you will get some later. Imagine us working together, using our powers... then again, you are busy enough as it is, do you really want to have even more stuff to worry about?” She finished with a teasing smirk.

Victor looked at Rebecca, 'You tell me, but with people able to fly and stuff, moving water around seems a bit weak, Becca. How are you getting on with the team matches?'

"Only if you lack imagination, cuz. With water you can levitate, smash stuff - I even fucked up a tank once." Rebecca says proudly. "It was an APC, not a tank." Tsuya says idly as he scrolls through his phone. "Same difference." Rebecca shrugs.

Siobahn lights up a little as he brings up bikes. "You ride too?" Her choice of words momentarily brings to mind the mental image Lin sent him, but Siobahn proves a good distraction, asking him questions about the kind of motorcycle he rides and various details about engines that'd be mostly incomprehensible to anyone who isn't immersed in the culture. "You wanna go riding some time, just ask." She offers.

"Heh, staying in character, huh? Sure. Though I don't think a real superhero would ever beg some thug to fuck 'em harder." One of the guys chuckles, as two of them sit on either side of her on the bench, the other standing in front of her - blocking her in on three sides. "Normally, I wouldn't mess with someone on a date, but it ain't every day you meet a real life pornstar. So what'll you do for us in exchange for leaving?"

'Really? You'll have to show me some time, maybe I can do that too,' Victor told Rebecca, quite impressed if she really could do all that.

He tried his best not to imagine Lin riding him again.but he chuckled internally as Siobahn started to talk about motorcycles. He gave her his full attention, while he wasn't the subject matter expert like she was, but he had picked up a few things on the way and eager to learn from her. He kept up their conversation, genuinely interested in the subject, asking hertoo what bike she had and how often she took it out for a spin, 'Yeah, I'd love to. Are the good roads around here to drive?'
