Troubles of #260

[Zack Asiv]

It would be a regular afternoon lunch having just ended and people just getting into class rooms as the intercom would jingle to let everyone know an announcement was coming.

"Attention students of Two-Five-Nine, this is your Supervisor Mister Asiv. Do not be alarmed, but please remain in your classrooms. School Captain and Pillars please report to the courtyard. S.H.C.P and the Dean Mister Kaar will be waiting. There is currently a riot taking place at our neighboring school Two-Sixty which has spilled into the streets and is reportedly making its way here."

Asiv would let that sink in so people understood it was serious.

"They have no demands and their intentions are unknown. Police have dispatched riot squads, but there is bound to be contact. This is an unpredictable situation so treat it as such."

[Melanie Ross]

Melanie had just pulled out her notebook to take notes in Science. There was going to be a test the next thurday, but that was all she got before the bell chimed for the announcement. Melanie listened, her face blank... almost annoyed. She sighed after the announcement was finished, slowly putting her notebook back in her bag.

"Well, it's been fun, but I gotta go. Pillars have been summoned."

Melanie didn't even pause at the entrance. She shoved it open and kept walking. Hopefully no one followed, but she knew better. Of course they would. Kids are naturally curious. She walked down the long almost empty hallway, taking the quickest route to the courtyard as possible. Every so often a door would open and a few student's heads would pop out. Melanie would glare and most of them would go back inside.

Onward to battle...

Melanie would adjust her satchel so it was on her forward right side. Reaching her hand in, she would grasp the handle of her Rose Whip. Gotta be ready...

[Emily Suddenfield]

Alongside her, the Captain appeared. Her hands were in the pockets of her hoodie, her eyes on the mayhem that was working it's way toward campus. She would wait for the other two arrive before taking a deep breath. Her first assault to deal with. She took two steps forward rolled her shoulders, cracking her neck.

"Magnus, Violet, you're on the western side of the school. We're gonna get a concentration of brutality there. Mel, you're gonna stay here with me. The other two entrances are facing away from the chaos, since it's working from downtown to here. Any students that ignore the administrator and assist should be ignored- it's on them if they get put down. If you need assistance, I made a mistake making you a Pillar and you should sleep where they drop you. When you wake up, consider that title gone. Now get to work."

She took out her headphones, not waiting for an answer. She would pop them in and wait for the flood, her thoughts following the tune.

'Hmm....La la....no one dared.....disturb the sound....la nah nah...'

[Levi Kayamei]

Of course I would be late on my first day! Way to make a good impression Levi!

Levi fumed at himself for sleeping through his alarm, though he wasn't exactly surprised. His grandfather had stepped up his training ever since he had been assigned to 259, something about the school being a "tough" place. Levi could at least say that the training was certainly making him a sharper fighter. He had gained more in the last 3 months than he had in the previous year. He wondered how much his elder truly held back and his heart raced at the idea of being strong enough to push his master to his limits.

crap...

Seeing what he guessed was the school police and what he really hoped was not the principal right in front of him, Levi decided the best course of action would be to explain himself to the official and hopefully be allowed to head on to class. As he approached, he read the tension in the air as a bad sign of something else and decided to ask to hopefully deflect from the fact that he was tardy.

"e-excuse me...sir? Is there something wrong?"

[Kyle Nellist]

And Kyle came alongside Mel. He wore gloves, his bag by the wall. His eyes were wide, and he seemed a little scared.

"S-so....this a usual occurrence here?"

He had never been in a riot. Never even seen one. His schools were professional, happy students. With a ton of money, sure, but happy. Fights were rare and arguments were few. So seeing a mass of dust and human flesh heading their way...it scared him to the core to be sure. He didn't know if he was strong enough for something like this.

"I've never been one to stand and watch while good people get hurt and fight my battles for me. Even if it brings me down I'll.....do my part."

And he waited with the rest of them.

[Violet Lockheart]

~We Rise~

Just another ordinary day for the likes of Violet Lockheart delved deep within the confines of her imagination as her history teacher driveled on about the contexts of some foreign nation and their abolition of some text or something trivial to her. Meanwhile the girl's head was elsewhere, eyes peering out onto the canvas of the amber horizon outside her parallel windowsill tempting her to reach out and fly. Her concentration however would not remain committed to the daydream fantasy land that she'd been offered suddenly halted by the sound of the intercoms coming to life.

A summons? By none other than the Supervisor, the same man that Emily said that she was going to take it too. Violet fret with a concerned gesture listening out on the report before subsequently rising from her seat and offering forth a little blurb. "Excuse me.. duty calls." Vi would offer up a demure smile before packing her things and exiting slowly before hitting the halls and breaking into a small run.

No more than a few minutes would pass before Violet broke outside taking to a position in the courtyard looking about for some form of direction. Her posture readied for danger but the only sense in her mind after such instruction was that she needed to defend her school and the people that remain inside. Just as quickly Emily would arrive barking out her orders, the calm discipline on Violet's face would falter for a second. With Magnus? Western side? A chill rushed up her spine... We'd be working together she thought as though the realization had taken this long to sink in and her composure recovered. They were Pillars after all.

"Right.. I'm on it." Violet would say before jostling off towards her command post quick to respond. She would be the shield and if luck would have it Magnus the sword.

Once at the Western side of the school her hands would shoot up as a practiced killer. "Anyone who backs out now won't suffer punishment. Those who stick around will be taught a lesson they won't soon forget." Violet would put on her scary face ready to dish it out.

[Krane Asiv]

Kran decidedly made his way outside mostly to the main entrance, watching. It seemed a grand battle may take place soon. He definitely wasn't going to miss that. It wasn't that he wanted to hurt people, more he wanted to get to doing his job. However he didn't want to challenge the hierarchy at this point, he had a feeling he may not be comparable to them just yet, but this battle may tip it one way or another.

He could just hear his uncle Z.

~Release the Kraken!~

His face would darken and he would begin taking steps forward to the area where Melanie and Emily were.

"Many will lay broken."

[Mr. Kaar]

So it was up to Kaar again. Asiv was going to watch from his office as usual and see what would come of things. He probably dispatched him here to see what students stepped forward and disobeyed his orders. Maybe prospect for the S.H.C.P. Sure enough quite a few more than he thought stepped out of the crowed. And then a late arrival... To school... Approached and asked questions. Kaar would look to Levi.

"Actually yes. Since you are obviously late to school, your punishment is to help defend it. Public High School number Two-Sixty had a huge riot which is heading this way. So straighten up, tighten your breeches and get ready for an ass whoopin'."

Yeah Kaar didn't give no shits.

[Tristan Korvel]

~I'd love to change the world~

Silent, watchful, and waiting was the new student hanging around where he probably shouldn't be. The roof of the school idly passing time when he very well should have been in class like a good boy but instead he'd kept to himself and out of the watchful eyes of his peers. Everyone enjoyed a little bit of mystery didn't they? Tristan certainly did as he mindfully plucked back the pages of 'The Prince' between lazy fingers making an effortless motion to peer up above the covers every few seconds to get an eyeful of his surroundings. He quickly came to realize that there was a bit of a fuss going on just below him and sure enough a riot and an announcement bringing it to the public's attention. A smooth little sneer on his face as the boy quibbled to himself.

"Brilliant management of a panic." He'd clap to himself sarcastically taking this moment to press the corner of his book and preserve the page before sliding it in his back pocket. "Better go check this mess out." The frail boy would openly mock before calmly taking his leave from the roof and making his way downstairs.

[Cereza Nova Grey]

{Tick Tock}

'The betrayal you see is trivial
What is truly fearsome is
the betrayal you don't.'
---------------------------------

"I just got everything in order and already things go to hell. Typical."

-- Cereza sighed to herself just as she was ready to enter into the school. Yea she was one of the late comers. Like extremely late cause it was passed lunch time. She had things she needed to square away before coming, in truth she just got caught by her uncle Raiden for not going to school. The brunette was near the front entrance as the announcement went off, a clear displeasure on her face. She could go inside and just not deal with it all but something pulled her backwards. Something made her walk back down the steps, maybe it was impart to not get hit by any opening doors. Either way she found herself turning towards the mass that started forming.

"Sooner or later they'd probably get inside right?"

-- She really spoke to no one in particular just more so to herself. Figuring for once she was better off where she was in a sense of the word. Technically there was no real safe if whoever got pass what was outside. This wasn't exactly like her but if she was confronted then she was going to handle her own. They'd do better to not mess with the hat though.

MADE BY KIROUKO OF GANGNAM-STYLE

[Marcelis Cross]

Getting off the bus he knew damn well he could not possibly have an excuse good enough to THIS late coming to school. He had scouted out the damn thing about a week ago. But of course he had no intention to really show up until Marcelis found himself threaten to the point that failure in such request would equal death. Not death, just something equal to it and for what he goes through could the man he is living with thinking of something even more worse!? Of course, he said go to school, that means show up. He never said anything about staying. But then, from a small distance away he saw it... It was like a wave of people approaching the school... And everyone that was running from the wave of people seemed to be frighten for their lives. 'What the hell? I mean, it looks like a parade,' He thought to himself as he held his damn near empty bag over his left shoulder. But then, he got an idea! Well he was late... A bunch of people or a mob is rushing down the street... EASY excuse for lateness right? Well if he was going to be apart of it, he could just sit around and see what happens. Walking closer to the school, he was still staring at the large faction like group of student approaching... What he didn't that he was in for a shit show... If they knew he was apart of target they seems currently after. He rested his back on the wall near the front entrance, arms folded thinking to himself.

~Well if this gets too stupid, I am just going to cut out... But... Where the hell are they going!?~

[Zack Asiv]

And the mob would approach, however large groups of riot police would assault and the mob would practically scatter in every direction thinning out what was coming at the school, the problem now though was it was far more spread out instead of a focused stream of attackers. They were visually angry and scared, but the mob mentality was strong. Sure enough they got to the grounds in a full charge, most going after Mister Kaar, it seemed their focus was anything that had to do with school officials. However a few spotted the obvious markings of 259's School Captain and Pillars. They seemed disgusted that they stood with their school and lashed out.

((Note: this will be the only open round, each participant has a single attacker. On the next round all NPC control will be mine.))

[Emily Suddenfield]

The first of the rioters approached- they were scattered. Dammit. If the police had just left them as they were, they would have been much easier to put down. Now she had to seek them out. He threw a left punch- Emily would step right and snap out her left hand, grabbing his wrist. She punched his elbow, snapping it out the wrong way and causing him to scream brutally. She would kick the back of his calf while torquing her hips, causing him to be swept onto his ass. She turned to look at the others and, in a powerfully voice that would probably surprise those around her, would call out.

"259 has nothing to do with you. Turn around and go back, or you will be hurt. Only warning."

She doubted they would listen- they had malice in their eyes and in their hearts. She knew, as soon as their disgusted eyes turned on them that this....this conflict would be long.

And bloody.

[Violet Lockheart]

~We Rise~

A brash rush of noise as the riot squads hit the crowds with a sudden force edging the groups to spread thin and separate. As such it felt like her warning fell on deaf ears turning her attention to the rushing onslaught. A pair of goons charged her each in coats, but she didn't cringe in fear in fact she returned the valiant charge and a surge of courage wrapped around her. It would seem as though that little bit of training paid its dues making her stronger than before; Violet's body not being so easily winded by the response to her actions in fact she seemed rather enthused to charge into the midst of this battle. Lunging forward she'd keep her motions quick and precise aiming to impair her foes, there were too many to go toe-to-toe with each of them expecting a brawl she merely needed to immobilize them. As the threats appeared she'd press off her back heels gaining a bit of speed bringing up her lithe fist to punch at least that's how it appeared, pulling her blow in the last instant she'd motion her fist into two extended fingers gouging the one to her immediate right in the eyes toppling him before pressing her full weight at a curved elbow and bounding off him into the other. A quick side swipe to the Adam's apple and a knee to the groin toppling them both.

"Two down...a hell of a lot more to go." Violet would utter with a confident smile.

Looking up from his drawings of one of his made up guns, Arathorn raised an eyebrow at the announcement and looked over as a blonde girl walked out. Hm, must be one of those pillar things. Proceeding the moment she walked out, a few of the students walked over and peeked out the door. A few of them chuckled and cussed as Arathorn heard faint whispers and giggles of students who peeked out the door telling their friends who stayed behind "She glared at us." One of the guys was even brave enough to say "Dude, she is so hot," and in turn, had several wads of papers thrown at him and a "Shut up!" for each one. Gradually the whispers and giggles evolved from talking about her to talking about what was going on. 

Admittedly, he was kind of curious, but might as well not even bother following. He would probably just be yelled at by them, and then yelled at by his uncle back at the house, so on and so forth. He didn't really feel like watching some pesky troublemakers getting their rears handed to them was worth that. He honestly would go grab his gun (if he had it with him) and start dropping some bodies if they would allow it. I mean, he wouldn't kill anyone. Just some non-lethal shots to the shoulders, feet, etc., enough to drop them but not kill them. It'd be just like hunting. 

But oh well. Might as well just keep an ear out while he continued drawing and, truthfully, paying just enough attention to pass the upcoming tests.
