Prime Mover At this point, Owen was not remotely surprised to see the twins wearing their typical pirate garb, armed with swords. He was glad to see them, yes, but he worried about how well they were fitting in at school. After all, Riel was his roommate, and as much as he tried, the young pirates just weren't really understanding Earth culture. He tried to reign that in, telling himself that they weren't from around here, but hopefully this hangout would help them. Owen took a second, furtive glance at Kadene, noticing how well she pulled off the pirate look. She was pretty, but was his roommate's sister. His armed roommate's sister. "Hey Riel, Kadene. Thanks fer coming. Yeah, I got everyone covered today. Heard this place was really good, so hope you two enjoy it. Apparently Freedom City has some pretty amazing pizza. Hope the drive wasn't too bad, or, well...not sure if you took the ship." Owen sighed, but he wasn't surprised at this entrance either. "Hey, Gookgak. You work up an appetite riding here?" There would be no teaching Gookgak how to behave in polite society, that was for sure. But he liked the little gobbelyn, and was glad to invite him along, even if it probably meant they would all be banned on a lifetime basis from Pizano's. "Y'know, I think I'd rather not go in the sewer. That's not really a thing humans do, mostly 'cuz it's unsanitary and unsafe down there. Have you had pizza before, Gookgak?" he asked, eager to change the subject. "We're just waitin' on Luke now, but he should be here shortly."

GM Saturday Afternoon in November 2024 Outside Pizano's Pizzaria, Grenville Owen was the first to the pizza shop, and he sat nervously on the curb. Despite his roommate, his sister, and Gookgak not having a phone, he was able to arrange a time to get pizza with them. Joining them was Luke, also known as Nightscale, a Claremont graduate he met recently. Owen was dressed in a solid color maroon T-shirt and jeans, and his new Converse sneakers tapped a relentless rhythm against the pavement as he bounced his knee. He was a bit nervous, not just about being out in the city for the first time, but hanging with his new friends. His first few months at Claremont had been a whirlwind of classes, training, and meeting new people. This was really the first chance he had to get out into the city and not worry about what was coming up with his classes, and he couldn't help but keep his head on a swivel as he took in the new sights and sounds. Speaking of new sights, Owen had to constantly remind himself that Riel and his twin weren't from this dimension, and nor was Gookgak. Maybe Luke would be able to balance the group out... The restaurant they were meeting at was a small, family-owned pizza shop called Pizano's. Owen had never been there, of course, but their online ratings were stellar. The shop had seating for around 50, with a red-and-white checkered tile floor and photographs on the wall of celebrities that had eaten there. The prices were reasonable too, something that Owen was definitely aware of. I'll really need to get a job soon...

Ghule "Sounds like a good idea, Charlie. That one is definitely a lot of fun, and really quotable," she said, withholding any quotations until they came up in the movie. Muirne hadn't seen many movies before, and she definitely didn't want to spoil that one. Vik shook her head and smiled at the boys teasing each other. If that was their way of keeping each other in check, she supposed there was no harm in it, but Leon was sometimes pretty harsh on Charlie. But if that's what makes the team work, then who was she to judge? "Holidays are weird, Leon. Even before I became...this, it was always a weird time for my family. Not to speak of the ones I had in juvie..." She grimaced a little with the memory, but was glad that those difficult days were behind her. "But it'll be good to spend Christmas with you all. Or, well. You know, if you have a Christmas party or anything like that. I think that's what people do when they work together, right?" "And, uhh, to answer your question, Leon? No, you all aren't making me uncomfortable. I'm glad you all are happen with each other, seriously. It's good to be able to have someone to share your life with, you know?" Vik looked a little embarrassed as she continued to speak: "To be honest, I feel like I've just gotten used to my condition, so dating isn't really something that's been on my mind lately anyway. Unless one of you knows a really sexy ghoul that's single and ready to mingle," she said with a halfhearted chuckle.

Prime Mover Owen grinned as his roomie gave the small gobbelyn a piece of his mind. Well, to be fair, the little guy was snooping...Riel can be very headstrong, but it's good to know he's got our back. "Yeah, ya are pretty sneaky. In the brief time I've known you, you've already surprised me a few times. What do you think, roomie? Can he hang with us?" he said, lightly teasing Gookgak. "Never hurts to have someone...with interesting skills on our team." He just moved in that day, but Owen was already looking forward to hanging out with his new friends. This was sure to be an unusual first year! "But if yer offering, I'd love some popcorn. Thanks Gookgak!"
-
Prime Mover Owen couldn't believe his eyes - the little goblin had managed to magically sneak into their room. But why?! "Okay, Gookgak. That's enough. I was just explainin' to Riel here why you gotta follow the rules, and sneaking into someone's room without their permission is definitely one of those things you shouldn't do. People don't put booby traps...okay, well, some people have security systems, but you still shouldn't sneak into people's rooms like that! Besides, Riel an' me were havin' a private conversation, so...that's kinda hurtful, to be honest." "And it's called popcorn."

Ghule Although Vik was vaguely interested in what was going on with the daytime drama, the young woman being pinned against the shop window stood out to her like a sore thumb. "Oh hell no," she muttered to herself as she stomped towards them. That was not going to happen on her watch! She walked up to the young man and grabbed his shoulder, and spun him around to face her. "Hey #$$hole, you got a problem? The young lady clearly doesn't want to talk to you, so why don't you take a hike?" Regardless of the consequences of making herself more visible to the public (especially the large crowd gathered for the show), she couldn't let that stand one moment longer. She crossed her arms and gave the young man a mean look, one that she had practiced through her years of juvie. He wasn't the only one that could scare someone with their presence!

Prime Mover Owen sighed inwardly as Captain Hook stalled the conflict...for now. He watched as the pirates returned to the ship, secretly impressed with the authority Hook had over his men. If only it were that easy with Riel and his sister... He whispered to Riel, "I hope you know what you're doing. 'Cuz if you lose, we're gonna have to fight every last one-a these pirates, an' I'm not liking our odds." He didn't trust the other pirates, of course, and frankly Riel played things a little too close to the chest for Owen's liking. This wasn't the kind of thing that you could settle with a game, but if anyone could do it, it was his lucky roommate. He had to remind himself that this wasn't his world (quite literally) and they played by different rules. He kept his attention on the rest of the pirates, waiting for one of them to make a move. Owen knew that if Captain Hook didn't like the outcome, there was nothing stopping him from just attacking them right then and there. So if there was to be a fight, Owen wanted to be ready at a moment's notice.

Ghule "Well, in his defense, I have been controlling my powers much better since we started. But yeah, he can be a bit of a taskmaster." Thanks to intense training sessions with Charlie, Vik was feeling more confident with her powers than ever. She had learned to focus her abilities, even learn some new ones, and take advantage of her undead nature by training harder and further than she could have ever done as a human. "But really, I needed that to get out of my funk and learn to, well, accept what happened to me. But anyway, what's everyone hungry for?" Vik slowly turned her head back towards Eira, now understanding what she saw. Her powers were becoming stronger, for sure. "That's good! And thanks for the offer, but I have particular dietary needs. I hope it's not a problem that I eat meat when we're out." "And no," she lied, "Just thought I saw someone from high school." Maybe I'll tell Eira about my powers another time. But mazel tov to the new mother!

Prime Mover Owen blinked once at Riel as he listened to the young pirate explain that he was well within his rights to stab him. Then he crossed his arms and gave Riel a hard look. "Mmkay, so you're new around here, and we'll just chalk that up to cultural differences. Here on Earth, and especially at this school, we're equals. I don't care if you're some kinda prince of space, or king of the pirates...just fair warning that people our age will treat you informally. That's how you know you're makin' friends with someone," he said with a slight smile. "The better you know someone, the more informal you can be with 'em. Okay?" Owen tossed his bag onto the bed as well, and started hanging up clothes in his closet. "As far as not touching you or deciding anything for you, we're in agreement there. Earthlings generally don't like it when people do that either, and nor do I. But if you're going to remain at this school, there are rules you will need to follow. I'm sure they'll go over them in the next few days, but you do need to know that our society works with rules. Not to say we can't go off an' have fun, but there's a time to work and a time to have fun. Like my dad says, you work hard then you play hard." "But I think you an' I are gonna be awright. So, Cap'n. Friends?" Owen extended his hand and looked up at Riel.

Ghule "That's true, and it really does set the stage for Army. But maybe the first one would be a little intense," she said, unconsciously turning towards Muirne. "Maybe some other than we can have an Evil Dead-athon." Vik was not-so-secretly delighted to find another Ash Williams fan! Vik tried not to read too hard into what Muirne was saying. She was clearly uncomfortable, in Vik's opinion, but too polite to say anything. "Oh, not at all!" she said a bit too enthusiastically. "I really could use a pallate cleanser after Alien, anyway. Hey, how about..." she trailed off as she pulled out the bag she brought from the video store. "Let's see...too gory, too creepy, too Cronenberg-y...here we go!" She pulled out a DVD copy of the original Ghostbusters, and set it on the table. "I mean, it does have some magic, sort of? But not really? I know you said you haven't seen many horror movies, but this one is just sorta fun. But if anyone else has some ideas, I'm definitely open to them." "Well, it's not really about King - oh, wait. There she goes."

Prime Mover Owen waved to his new floormates (he wasn't sure how else to think of them) and walked with Riel to their room. Despite his initial impression of the strange lad, he warmed up to the pirate pretty quickly. He had a feeling he'd have to keep his eye on Riel and his twin, though. "So what is it you wanna teach me? I sure as heck won't be drinkin' on campus, no way. They'll kick you out fer that, and as nice as it'd be to see my folks, I'm sure they'd rather me not get sent back." "But maybe there's some stuff I can teach ya too. Ever milked a cow before? Maybe you can come up to Badger Bluff during the homecoming game. Everyone in town shows up, and our local butcher shop always gives away brats fer free." Owen says, already lost in reminiscing about his hometown. Hopefully there was a decent enough grocery store that had good brats...Johnsonville at least.

Prime Mover Owen crossed his arms. While he was willing to entertain this charade if it meant there wouldn't be violence, this negotiation had gone on long enough. "Get your men back onto the ship, or we figure this all out another way," he said authoritatively, stepping forward to challenge Hook. "Then you can play Liar's Dice, or whatever it is you need to do, but we aren't gonna negotiate any further 'till your men stop robbing the citizens a' Freedom City." For just a moment, Owen covered his body in shimmering kinetic energy to show he meant business. He thrust a hand out to Hook and looked him dead in the eyes. "Do we have an accord?"
