Blackstaff tried his best to move through the crowd of children and parents at Oz's guidance. When they finally reached the little stone mouse he crouched near it. He followed the statue's gaze to see where it was looking when it was petrified. "It was looking that way when it made eye contact." Behind the googles his eyes scanned around, trying to gauge where their query was at the time and where it could have moved on to.

Leon felt something slide over his thoughts. It tried, but failed, to settle over them though and Leon looked over at Sebastien. I seemed everyone else had resisted the effect also, well except the one named Zach. The others were already reacting unhappily with Felix even throwing a punch. Leon though didn't move or yell. First, he couldn't begrudge the boy using his power. He would though, just need to have a word with Sebastien later about using them on him in particular. Second, he was gonna enjoy watching little jerk get his butt whipped by one of these big guys. He just wished he had something to snack on while watching.

Leon tried to gauge Eira, but it was hard to 'read' a machine. He nodded slowly. "I know what mean. Though judging from a few other kids I've seen around campus, there are a few less then 'heroic' types in the student body." He tilted his head as he considered her invitation to hang out. It could be a trap he considered. Some kind of 'hazing' bit on the new kid, but he was confident he could slip out of any trouble that came his way. "Sure." He says after a moment, then smirks himself. "Just hope that pretty boy you hang out with doesn't mind you hangin' out with an ex-con."

Wow, secondling, you’re rolling like I usually do at my irl games. ?

Brute Power Level: 10 (150PP) Unspent Power Points: 0 Trade-Offs: -5 Attack / +5 Damage, -5 Defense / +5 Toughness In Brief: Advanced construct / flesh golem Catchphrase: Theme: Alternate Identity: varies (currently: Matthew Thate) (Secret) Birthplace: varies (currently: Freedom City, NJ) Residence: na Base of Operations: na Occupation: na Affiliations: Creepshow Family: na Description: Age: varies (currently: 35, DoB: 1995) Apparent Age: varies (currently: distorted 30s) Gender: varies (currently: male) Ethnicity: varies (currently: Caucasian) Height: varies (currently: 6.5 feet-ish) Weight: varies (currently: 350-ish) Eyes: varies (currently: brown) Hair: varies (currently: brown) History: Brute is a golem of flesh created by the flesh manipulating figure referring to himself as Creepshow. The current Brute was crafted from a man named Matthew Thate. Matthew was an auto mechanic who was hospitalize after automotive accident. He was pronounced dead after 4 hours of surgery, by the surgeon Dr Ethan Saddler. Later that night his body vanished from the hospital and records were changed to show the corpse had been properly processed. In reality, the body had been taken by Creepshow to be used as part of one of the villain’s experiments. Matthew was used as the base for what would become Creepshow’s muscle/bodyguard only referred to as ‘Brute’. Personality & Motivation: Whatever is left of Matthew’s personality and memories, if any, are suppressed by Creepshow’s tinkering. Brute’s only purpose now is merely to serve his master/creator. To which, he uses the considerable strength and power bestowed to him by his master/creator to carry out any orders given. Powers & Tactics: A living tank of a being, Brute lives up to its name. Brute utilizes the full extent of its strength to power through obstacles in its way. With little regard for tactics, it relies heavily on its abilities to take damage and shrug off blows until it can crush its opponent with its attacks. Although, its master/creator is able to access its senses and communicate over distance with it, directing it if seen fit. And if necessary, Creepshow can seize control of Brute and control it himself not unlike a puppet. Power Descriptions: Brute is a flesh golem, a ‘Frankenstien’ed bio-weapon, crafted to be strong and durable. Its body is distorted with occasional mismatched pieces. Its muscles are oversized and are obviously unsettling to look at. It's chest and arms are larger and longer than any human's should be. As such it always possesses inhuman strength and toughness, with a reach that some tend to misjudge. It can at times, at the need of its master/creator, be augmented with additional abilities. Theses abilities can sometimes cause the body to look even stranger and can sometimes come at the cost of reduced strength as an unfortunate side effect.

Leon stiffened as the holographic ball passed harmlessly through his head with surprising speed. After a moment he relaxed and tried to look unfazed. "Ya, of course." He said looking at the glowing circle in her palm. Feeling a slight twinge at the sight of it, he thought of his sister. Realizing Eira was leaning in close Leon tensed a little, ready to react when she asked about him being arrested. Her tone though wasn't accusing or disdainful, causing him to give her a curious look as he tried to gauge her. Leon inclines his head a little in acknowledgement and lowers his voice similiarly. "I was, a few times actually." He watched her for a reaction. "Even landed in juvie once."

"Tell me 'bout it." Leon smirked, looking at her hand for a moment before deciding to take it. "Ya, that's me." Leon returned the smirk. "Well now, that sounds like a challenge." He eyed the faint ball. "Hologram, huh? This ain't some old, sci-fi show. You can actually hit stuff with a hologram." He said, then after a moment he looked at her with a quirked eyebrow and added. "Can you?"

Leon chuckled and shook his head as he chuckled. “Not sure what a Übersoldat is, but if it could break your ribs. I’m happy to avoid them.” As some of the others questioned Felix further, Leon glanced back at Sebastian, watching him when another young man enters behind Sebastian. There was something unusual about the newcomer's voice, but Leon could put a finger on it. "Hey." He said with lift of his chin as a greeting, trying to recall the room postings. "Well it ain't me or Luke." He said, thumbing over at Luke. Reaching inside his jacket Leon pulled out a sheet of paper. With a flick of his wrist the paper straighten out stiff and he glanced at it. "Hmm. Pol... says here your bunking with someone named Zachary. Any of you know him?" He looks back at the others, then at Charlie. "How about you?"

Blackstaff stood behind Oz's shoulder watching the image shifts and moves. His eyes flicker here and there, searching for some kind of sign. When the little stone mouse appears Blackstaff smiles. "Well now, I guess we can consider that hard evidence" He chuckles, then clears his throat trying to stifle it. Apologizing for the bad pun. "Sorry. I guess the somewhere to start." He gives Oz a moment to put his foci away before walking with the other mage. "I should consider carrying something I can use similarly. I usually use water for visual divinations." He says making small talk as they make their way towards the mall.

Leon was enjoying the rock wall, it was a fun change from climbing buildings. Letting go of the wall he landed on the mat with a satisfied huff. He stood there barefoot in sweatpants and a sleeveless t-shirt, he didn't actually have a costume yet. Besides, it was free time. Leon glanced over his shoulder only to see a volleyball coming right at him. Acting on instinct the young man twisted aside and dropped into a crouch. Even as he did so, the ball vanished into thin air before it would have actually reached him. Leon scowled for moment, but then he smirked as he stood up straight. He remembered her from the prom incident. Word he had heard around school was she was some kind of robot, android, terminator, or something. Leon's brother would be fascinated, but Leon wasn't impressed. She acted just like any other high school girl (a high school girl that could probably flip a car without any trouble judging by the weights he had seen her pressing without any trouble.). He had seen her hanging off some pretty boy in the aftermath. Leon gave the teacher a friendly smile as he cut in. "It's okay, teach...I mean, Mr Kuzkin. No harm, no foul. Besides, its not like she could have actually hit me." He added, flashing Eira a cocky smirk.

Leon eyes the newcomer after he had strolled in dragging his suitcase. Between his tone and clothes, he was checking every box from pompous ass to possible mark. Leon was turning to look at Charlie to ask if he knew the guy, when a second newcomer piped in. Leon turned back and looked up... and up... and, geez the new guy was tall. At least this one introduced himself. Leon noted the scarring on his forearms, together with his build, and he ticked the ‘do not let him grab you’ box. After a moment Leon mentally ticked the box again for emphasis. Leon chuckled looking from Adam to Felix. “Really? Well damn, there goes my boasting.”

Leon liked that idea even less. Now he really wanted to get his hands on those files. "Well guess I know what I'm doing tonight." He thought to himself. Leon shrugged nonchalantly. "Couple of us students and one of the teachs were able to slip into the control room. That robot girl told us we had to reboot the system, but we only had a small window to do it right. And well, obviously we did it ." Leon regarded Charlie a moment longer before finally shrugging again. "Fair enough. Powers aren't the end all. Skill has saved my butt more then once." "Scientia potentia est." He grinned, then glanced back at the others. "I'd be down for a game of soccer one of these days." He agrees letting the conversation move along. He would still have to do his own 'research' later.

Leon held up his hands defensively. "Na man, I didn't mean-" Leon strared at Luke for a second before chuckling. "Okay, you got me that time." Leon watched Charlie as he passed, then glanced to Felix as he answered first. "So, what you're saying is that 'Ya, basic'." Leon smirked and chuckled. Leon side-eyed Luke with raised eyebrows and chuckle. "Damn, that sounds pretty epic. The soccer bit I mean." Leon shrugs. "I guess the dragon thing's cool too." Leon grins and chuckles at the friendly jibe at Luke. Leon's grin vanished as Charlie went on, his eyes narrowing in suspicious concern. He quickly covered it up as he put on a cocky smirk. "Jeez, didn't realize being a know-it-all was a superpower, but congratulations at least you know how to read files. I'll go ahead and spoil myself, I was picked up by the cops and I made a deal: juvie or Claremont." Guessing that the young man had accessed their files beforehand. Leon suddenly felt the desire to have late night study session of his own. Maybe he could get Luke to join him, provided he hadn't gone all goody-goody since last time he saw him. "And I don't just control paper, paper and I have a special relationship. You could almost say I'm a paper master." Leon felt the need to boast a little. "You also left out the part where I saved the graduating class from their own prom." Leon crossed his arms, his right hand rubbing the realistic looking paper left arm. When he realized he was doing that he drops his arms, putting his left hand in his jacket pocket as he waves his right dismissively. "I mean there were some others there who might have helped a little, but it was mostly me."

Stepping out into a out of sight spot, the hectic flurry of the Yellow Brick Row district hit like a trumpet after the quiet of Charlemange's entrance hall. "Well, I don't hear any screaming." Blackstaff commented as he paused and listened. "That's good sign so far." Blackstaff glanced around to get his bearings before he stepped out into the flow of foot traffic. "You've been here before so you know your way around already too." He says as they walk. "If you were a cockatrice that wanted to meet new people, where would you head towards? My top two guesses would be either towards the Cannery if it got hungry or if it was looking for lots of people, the Emerald Palace." Blackstaff asked, using the nickname for the Atlas Mall. He glanced over at Oz to get the other mage's opinion.

Leon made his way down the short hall to the first floor common room. Three other young men were already in the room, two making themselves at home on the couches and another standing nearby offering help to a forth teen just entering. Leon was sizing up Charlie and Tremayne on the couches when the newcomer addressed him directly before introducing himself to the others. It took Leon a second to recognize the newcomer. "Luke...? Oh ya, I remember you now." He gave the Luke a smirk. "I wouldn't say 'for good'. Just till I get bored." "What about you? Wouldn't have thought I'd see you here. Guess there was more to you that I thought." He grinned and chuckled. "I would've offered to a ride when the others came to 'pick me up'." Leon was intentionally keeping things vague, but he was sure Luke would pick up his meanings.

Leon hadn't had much in the way of personal items, so moving from the temporary room he had been in to room 112 was quick. A handful of books, a mix of soft and hard-cover were scattered seemingly haphazardly on several shelves. Most of the books, some of his old clothes and sprinkling of a few other personal items had arrived via 'care packages' with no return address. These had drawn a grin from Leon when he had gotten them. The only other thing in the packages was a letter in his sister's neat handwriting. The letter had, again, jeered him for getting caught and reassuring him that she and his brother were not planing to stop having fun. The letter ended signed only Circle and Satchel. It was short and to the point, but then, they had had a long conversation shortly after he had arrived at Claremont since they hadn't been able to see each other while Leon had been in the hospital. The letter was tucked into books on the shelf, out of sight in a copy of Feed, one of his favorite books. It was nice to have real clothes again, paper clothes were okay but not as good as real ones. He was wearing slightly faded jeans and a t-shirt sporting a cartoon fox passing through a prism with multiple tails poking out the back, each one a color of the rainbow. The jacket he pulled on though, as real as it looked, was made of paper. He always preferred to have some paper on hand but the school staff didn't want him carrying around all of his paper, but he still wore at least one of his thigh packs. Looking himself over in the bathroom mirror he ran his fingers through his short black hair. Passing back through the room Leon glanced over at the other side of the shared room. "Luke Landers." Leon thought to himself. That had been the next to his on the room assignments listings. "Sounds familiar." "Hmm." Leon moved towards the door, opening it to step out into the hall.

NEW STUDENT Name: Leon Moore Codename: Paper Year: Sophomore Pronouns: he/him Prospective Roommate: Surprise me. ? Goal: Survive until graduation and then freedom. He'll play along and learn all the hero stuff, just to prove he can. Once he free, he can reunite with his brother and sister, then... well, it a big world, who knows what can happen. First Impression: With a mischievous smile, sharp wit, and sharper tongue Leon acts aloof; but he enjoys slipping into things uninvited, whether its conversations, action, or locked places. Leon can always be found with a book or two.

"Thank you." Christopher thanked Barry as he accepted the offered googles. Tucking them in to a pocket for the time being as she stepped up to Charlemagne and also accepted the bags. "The Yellow Brock Road shopping district? That's as good as any place to start." He gives Charlemagne a confident smile and a nod. Pocketing the bags with the googles Christopher turns. "On the clock, and it's already ticking." He starts to head towards the doors. "With any luck, your missing pets will be home before you know it."

Leon scowls at Danica's back, then glances at the others. "Well, if it'll keep me from having to go back to the boring video call." He shrugs. "Guess it can't be any more boring down there now. Besides, gotta let the seniors know it was a couple of underclassmen that saved there hides." Leon smirked as he hurried past Danica. He paused after a moment looking back at her. "Jeez, you're slow." Turning away, Leon started walking again and waved his hand. The sound of rustling paper started and Leon's jacket sheds into sheets of paper, the color and texture fading as they do. Seemingly caught in some nonexistent breeze they carry over to Danica and swirl around her. Then suddenly the surge together under her and the turtle girl finds herself astride a paper wolf. With a beckoning motion the quickly follows after Leon, carrying Danica easily. "I'm not being nice." He says without prompting, in a seemingly bored tone. "I just need to someone to back me up when I tell the big boys the deal."

It felt good helping others, though he wasn't about to admit it to anyone. Leon smiled to himself thinking how Richard would have been proud of him, his brother was always better at computers. Elizabeth would have called him an idiot for getting involved and punched him in the arm. It was just how his sister would have showed approval. Leon smiled a little more, but sadly now. He missed them both everyday. Leon realized he was smiling and quickly stopped, looking around to see if anyone was looking at him.
