Ethan raises an eyebrow as he turns to Ronan, "Sense them? Your powers let you sense them, wow that is pretty cool. How would that work, do we just walk around the general area? Or find a high spot for greater coverage?" He asks with genuine curiosity. His eyes also dart to Harper, "Maybe so research on the sight spots may show a pattern, which could help us predict the next appearance, what do you think?"

It had been a long flight from his home country in south America to here, and Deone's head was spinning faster than it usually does, but to make matters worse, he had to introduce himself.

He doesn't do well with introducing himself.

When the old man greets him, and he sees the other kids he gulps audibly and says

" H-Hi, ya'll im Deone. Yeah."

Oh god he looked like an idiot, and to add insult to injury he had to sit there a couple minutes extra to wait on the last guy.

When Ethan Cross walks over and offers to shake his hand , Deone ackwardly refuses, hoping not to offend the very large guy he offers him a thumbs up instead.

After the campus tour, when presented with the uniform, he holds it up and gives it a lookover. He likes the way it cover him completely but doesn't really understand the "non neutonium" or whatever the old man was talking about, what he really likes, is the big gloves, these look like they would help him avoid any accidental draining.

During the shopping trip, he picks up a large pack of double a batteries, but doesn't bother buying anything else, he's too overwhelmed to think about furniture or groceries like the others.

Completely drained from the day, enter the insanely massive building with the others taking the room that no one else did he lazily puts his belongings inside, takes out a double A and a faint blu light shines from his hand and eyes as he drains it.

At Alice's suggestion he replies "Yeah i'm cool with beanbag chairs. I l-like how they engulf you." "And yeah, there are bugs in here, i can feel them, but we probably shouldn't trouble them.

if your character is from Virginia that should be Southern America, South America is countries like Argentina/Brazil, etc. sorry just being pedantic.

Ronan shrugs. "It's all mystical mumbo jumbo. Don't know if anyone really understands how it really works."

He givbes Ethan's words a little thought. "Yeah, walking around aimlessly would be rather dumb. We have a few places with confirmed sightings. We could start there. Unless we should just inform the teachers. Maybe its a test, they either placed us here to see if we're responsible enough to call it in, or to see if we can deal with it ourselves."

Overhearing the the others's conversation, and remembering the salt everywhere on the neighbors house, Deone aproaches Ronan from behind and timidly asks
Quote:
W-wait a minute. You're saying th-there are a-a-actual d-d-demonsrunning around the place?
As if it wasn't already crazy enough he was being enrolled in a super hero academy, and flown out miles away from home, now there are demons running around right where he's supposed to live? this day couldn't get crazier.
Quote:
If there really are demons here i-i-i think we should just tell the professionals. Going around looking for demons is how the group of teens always dies in the first coupleof panels of a horror manga!

Ethan considered Roman’s point, maybe this was a test there was a correlation here. "That’s not a bad point, Ronan. We have a few hours of light left so shall we do some research, investigating and when we have something solid to report we do that."

Turning his eyes to Deone he smiles confidently, "I am sure there is a logical and scientific explanation to these occurrences, it maybe people over exaggerating or tricks with lights."
Aug 11, 2026 9:01 pm
"Scientific explanation!?" Deone thought to himself, Ethan's words did NOT ease his worries, they were both standing next to a boy who claimed he could sense ghosts while both also possesing Superpowers themselves, if anything, science should be the last thing they should be thinking about
Quote:
S-scientific explanation or not, we still should just leave it to the grownups, there's no way they'd make our 'First test' something so potentially dangerous..... r-r-right?

Deone (and the others) recall that they also have access to Strobe , if they want advice. While less capable in power terms, she does have more experience, and maybe more importantly is the police liaison for the city/island.

"We could always head to St. Mike's church. It is only a few blocks away. Talk to the priest there and see what they know." Harper suggest as she throws a few boxes of Kraft Mac and cheese in her cart.

Italic spoken text is usually muttering

Yiva had a long trip flying south to Liberty City, the grandeose nature of the city and the academy, with the History of heroes who had walked these halls before her, she seemed calm and refined throughout the tour, though she did obviously have in a set of conduction headphones.

She did seem to perk up when they were shown their training halls, those close to her would hear her muttering It has been a while since I could practice...I wonder if it can take ... probably they've built this place for more than a small blizzard

When presented with the uniform, she spoke with a thin Norwegian accent and said Oh I don't need any alterations. If its as comfortable and absorbs shock as well as as you say it does I can just replace my gambeson with this... though that would mean..and the gambeson would need to be torn out of the matrix...yeah I don't think I brought eno...oh and the runes need to be revised since it isn't plant based. Do you happen to know where I can buy some woad and wormwood?

When the tour finally ended, she introduced herself to the rest of the time. Just saying her name, and being pleasant with anyone that did try to talk with her. Eventually, she sat down on a bench close by and cracked open a notebook. Anyone who looks at what she is doing will see her drawing some kind of rune, before crossing it out and working on a similar looking rune.
She left for shopping earlier than everyone else, as she needed to stop by a specialty store to pick up chalk, wormwood, woad, and a couple other various herbs. During the shopping trip, she bought a sound system, a desk, a chair, a bed set, and (as Alice suggested), a nice bean bag. All the furniture she bought was very simple, but also very expensive (as she bought high quality goods). For food she bought some lamb (making sure to include the bones), carrots, some lentils and oats, as well as carrots, potatoes, and peppers.

Some of the people recognize a pattern in the demon sightings and think the route the demon is scribing with their movements are some sort of mythic rune - casting a insidious spell with their footprints.
As she is looking through some posters If it is mystical in origin I may be able to identify the creature and perhaps even the spell its trying to cast if it is magic, though there are several different kinds of rune mag... Oh what do you know Dropkick Murphys And she puts a poster into her cart.
OOC:
Also I swear I didn't look at the game chat while I was building my character, but it so happens that mystical creatures and magic os my characters specialty. Specifically norse magic (which includes rune magic)

Quite frankly I wouldn't be shocked if they were in on this plot in some manner. That or they lack expertise or competence to handle magiks of this kind. Maybe they'll surprise me. Though I'm unsure if we are dealing with a demon. From the description I've overheard, it doesn't fit any demon folk I know of. But quite frankly I don't think many of the "witnesses" ever saw it. Probably just boasting about a "terrifying encounter." as she adds air quotes. I'll probably be able to tell when we see the thing though, or if we can get an accurate account of it. Oh there it is, watch my cart She leaves and shortly returns with a granite mortar and pestel.

Sensimg that Yiva may be trying to ease his concerns using her expertise, Deone let's out a quiet sigh of relief and tries to change the subject to something less terriffying than playing Bleach side characters

At Yiva mentioning her knowledge Ethan turns his eyes from Deone to her. "Though I have been wrong before. giving his full attention to her as she speaks her mind of the Police’s abilities to cope with such a threat. "I think none of our local community services will be equipped to handle such a thing if it true, and any science based thinking is going to be tested. Well should we split up and attempt to get some solid evidence of this creature, or do we stay together for now?"

Technically I don't have any providence provided powers. But I do have a lot of knowledge and hard gained affinity for magiks and magical thinking. Which I assure you exsist She says as she looks pointedly at Ethan My specialty is old Nordic and Slavic magiks, like rune magik. May need sheep's blood ... or animal sacrifice now that I think about it. Sorry, lost in thought. But that specialty is just because of how I learned magik and that I have a high affinity for it as a result. I know my way around, or at least of, most normal magiks.

At Yiva’s look Ethan puts his hands up in surrender, "No offence meant, Yiva, just you meet a lot of people that make claims you know. I will keep an open mind and always happy to learn something new. Growing up in the country I have seen an animal carcass or two, so hopefully I don’t freak out too much." He says with a nervous smile.
