    Assemble!

    Veronica Veronica stifled a slight yawn as she followed after Janus. Yesterday had been a long day of moving into the dorm and making rounds meeting a number of their new classmates. The latter had led to a late night of finishing unpacking and getting their room set up. The teenage Danger was dressed similarly to as she had been the day before, the same well-worn hiking boots, a dark green T-Shirt, a brown shirt with its sleeves rolled up and khaki cargo shorts. When Janus commented to her in French about understanding if Veronica wanting to go off and sit with some boy, Veronica gave her cousin a sly smile before replying in French. <"And just abandon my family because of a handsome face?"> Her tone was light hearted as she feigned shock at the suggestion. <"There is no particular rush, there is the entire school year ahead."> Staying with her cousin, Veronica made her way through the crowd and took a seat next to Janus on the bleachers, setting her rugged day-pack down near her feet. As she waited for the assembly to begin, Veronica began casually scanning the crowd of other students, not looking for anyone in particular, as she absentmindedly fidgeted with one of the small silver charms hanging from her necklace.
  2. Veronica "Oh, I completely appreciate the longing for some adventure, but believe me, going to wait in the line over at the administrative building is rather quite the opposite." Veronica replied with a smile at Elizabeth's feigned disappointment about getting the information on her room assignment so easily. "Besides, it provided an additional benefit of ensuring that Prudence remains at the admin building a bit longer and out of Janus and my hair." The teenager then added. It was then that the young Danger spotted the other teen walking nearby. But before she could react, Elizabeth provided some not-so-subtle encouragement for the young man to make his way over to the group. Veronica added a wave and a friendly smile of her own as part of the invitation to join the group busy chatting away about various topics.
  3. Veronica Veronica gave a slightly embarrassed smile as Elizabeth commented on her name, with Pan chiming in about his similar reaction when they had met at ASTRO Labs a few days ago. "Thank you." She replied. "I certainly have always liked my name, although it is a name that comes with a number of responsibilities, and expectations." The teenage Danger waved in greeting to Selina as the other girl flew down from above and focused back on Elizabeth. "Yeah, there are quite a few people moving in right now. I imagine that you are in the same building as we are, they have room assignments on a list at the main office. But I can should be able to save you the trip." Pulling her cellphone out of her cargo shorts, Veronica quickly selected a number and held the phone to her ear. "Hey Prudence." She stated when someone apparently picked up on the other end. "Are you still by the main office? Great, could you take a look at the room assignment list for the female students and find the room number for an Elizabeth Grey." There was a pause as she waited for the other person to find the information. As she was waiting, she glanced over towards her cousin and Kam, smiling slightly as they had begun to talk about the school’s training facilities. "301? Okay great, thank you. We will see you when you get done with checking on our parking permits." Hanging up the phone, Veronica looked back at Elizabeth. "You are in room 301, just down the hall from Janus and I."
  4. Tsunami If Giang was surprised by Murk's admission that he was an immortal, it did not register in her expression. But at his statement about his belief that she was as well, a slightly puzzled look crossed her face for a moment. "I cannot really say if I am or not." She replied after a moment, her voice a bit lower now so as not to carry over the numerous other loud conversations taking place among other attendees. "I do not know what sorts of signs there would be, other than the obvious halt of the aging process, and so far I have aged as would be expected for someone my age." Then a look of curiosity came over her as she focused her gaze more firmly on Mr. Murk. "But assuming you are correct, I am interested in why you are here? Certainly you do not seek out other immortals just to inform them of their extended lifespans."
  5. The pirate manages to get a 21, so he manages to pull away slightly. So, will need to continue pilot checks for the chase. Let me know if you want to try any maneuvers or other tricks.
  6. GM Soreen and Laark were well behind Starshot when he reached the garage and climbed onto a hoverbike to follow after the escaping pirate. They were just entering the garage themselves when Starshot sped out the open doorway, following his target. The hot air of the desert washed over him as his bike speed out of the pre-fab building, taking him over the power fence and then out over the open desert. Even without his helmet, he could see the other hoverbike hundreds of meters ahead, skimming over the burning sands as it speed off towards the east. Turning to follow, Starshot leveled out, but seemed to be falling behind slightly as the pirate on the other vehicle skillfully guided it on its path….
  7. Veronica "I saw one once," Veronica chimed in as Kam and Danica were talking about sulcate tortoise, "when I was crossing through the Sahara. I have a few photos I can dig out if you are interested." The teenager then added. As Veronica was talking with the others gathered around, she noted out of the corner of her eye a new figure approaching. Since she had arrived at the dorm building, young Danger's ability to sense magic had been working overtime, there certainly seemed to be a number of students who had magical abilities, or who's powers originated from magic, such as Danica. The newcomer with white hair similarly radiated magic, though in her case it seemed to be from an object she was carrying on her, and Veronica did her best to keep her mystical third eye from prying any further. But, having turned her attention towards the other teenager, Veronica figured she should at least say hello and gave a smile as the other teen drew closer. "Hello, you must be a new student as well?" She stated, her speech bearing a faint French accent. "I'm Veronica Danger, this is my cousin Janus, and these are some of our other fellow students, Danica, Kameron and Pan."
  8. Happy belated birthdays to Troll and Ecal!!
  9. Veronica "I am glad I could help Pan. Though I imagine that it would not have taken very long for you to find your way here regardless." Veroncia replied to the teenage boy with a smile. "Though, Veroncia is fine, otherwise Janus and I will never know which of us you are talking about." She then added with a grin. The teenage Danger also returned "Kameron's" bow, grateful that he had been able to "introduce" himself to her and Janus, otherwise that could have caused some problems if they had seen him first and gone over to great him. "So very good to see you again." She said in reply with a knowing smile. Then Veronica took her turn at shaking hands with Danica, smiling warmly at the other girl. "So wonderful to meet you Danica."
  10. Veronica Having turned toward the sound of Pan's voice when he called out, Veronica missed Janus' playful smirk. Veronica gave Pan a warm smile as he came over to the pair of cousins. "Good to see you again Pan. Glad to see everything worked out with getting you a place here." She said in greeting as Pan and Janus introduced themselves to each other. "Pan was the one I was telling you about meeting during that incident at ASTRO labs." Veronica said to Janus. "We were just getting the rest of our stuff from the car to take up to our room so we can focus on getting around and trying to meet more of our fellow new students." The teenager then stated to Pan, as she reached into the trunk of the town car to take out a large duffle bag of study material that looked like it had been through a number of environments (which of course it had).
  11. Veronica Now it was Veronica's turn to smile slightly as her cousin deftly sent Prudence off on a wild goose chase. The teenager's smile widened at Janus' comments once the PA was gone. While Veronica's upbringing had generally involved spending more time around adults than others her age, she could not argue with Janus' reasoning in this case. "Well, we should still make the best use of the time as we can." Veronica then stated in the decisive, proactive tone one would expect from a Danger. "Let's head back down to the car and get all our stuff up here so we can start making our way around. We can always unpack later." In truth, that was Veronica's typical method of operating, given her years of traveling she tended to be ready to go at any time, generally traveling light. In fact, she was bringing more stuff with her to Claremont than she typically would take with her. Grabbing her cellphone from an outer pocket of her rucksack and putting it into one of the pockets of her cargo shorts, Veronica made her way out of the room and back down the hallway to the stairs. A short while later she and Janus were outside the dorm building and making their way over to where the dark windowed town car that had brought them to the campus from Danger Manor.
  12. Veronica "Yes thank you…" Veronica had to catch herself from saying "Pru," knowing that she really did not know her and Janus’ personal assistant quite well enough to begin using a shortened name, "Prudence." While Veronica was generally thankful for having Prudence to help her and Janus with keeping track of their responsibilities to Danger International while they were in Freedom City, she was far less accustomed to having a regimented schedule than Janus. If Veronica was bothered by the rather Spartan room, she did not show it. Setting her rucksack down on the other desk opposite the side Janus had claimed, she looked over to her cousin with a grin and shrug at the other's comment about the plain room. "I don't know, should not take much to give it a bit of character." She stated, looking about for a moment before focusing back at Janus as the other set about mounting a sword rack. "See? Did not take you long to get started." The teenager’s smile quickly fade at Prudence's announcement about family dinner that coming Saturday. Veronica caught Janus' arched eyebrow and gave her a small grimace before returning to a neutral expression as she looked back over towards the personal assistant. "Well, that sounds nice Prudence, but…I imagine there will be some sort of icebreaker, beginning of the term type events going on this weekend, and Janus and I would not want to miss any of the early chances to get to know as many of our fellow students as we can." Prudence consulted her tablet again for a moment. "Well, I don't see anything scheduled, but I suppose I can just mark you down at 'likely' to attend for the moment pending any further information about any such events."
  13. Veronica Danger Veronica made her way down the hallway after her cousin with a bit of a bounce in her step, the feeling of excitement that had been building in her for the last couple of weeks since she had arrived in Freedom City to prepare for the start of the school year had about reached a point where it was going to explode. The attractive teenager was actually dressed in more or less her normal attire, given its suitability for a range of physical activity (a range that included, among other things, moving and unpacking or hiking through a jungle). She was dressed in a brown T-Shirt, over which she wore a thin linen Khaki short sleeve shirt, olive green cargo pants and a pair of well worn-in hiking boots with thick socks. Over one shoulder she had a sturdy backpack that had clearly seen a lot of use. On a necklace and on a couple of bracelets hung several dozen small silver charms that Janus knew Veronica had been collecting over her entire life during her various travels. The recent bronze medallion that Veronica had picked up in Istanbul under some unusual circumstances was currently tucked underneath her T-Shirt. Veronica gave a small shrug as Janus offered an apology for using her nickname, not nearly as worried about the possible dangers of such in high school as she probably should be. "No worries Janus." She replied with a smile as she followed after her cousin into their new room. A third figure followed close behind, one that had been trailing the pair since they had excited the dark windowed car that had brought them to campus. The figure was a young woman in her mid-to-late twenties, dressed in impeccable business attire and glasses. In one hand she held a small IPad, which she regularly referred to as she went. "It looks like both your class schedules have been finalized so I have updated each of your calendars to reflect them." She stated, looking back up from her IPad to the two teenagers.

  15. Ari, I take that back, I would like to try to hold Vernoica's action. If it looks like the bad guys are going to transport the DR away, then she will reshape her barrier around the creature to funnel it towards the portal taking away the DR. If they get the DR, they are going to get the creature from it as well.
  16. Veronica Danger Veronica gave a slight smile as her barrier of mystical energy managed to trap the unusual creature that had emerged from the gate. She briefly held her breath as it began slamming itself into the barrier, but the mystical energy managed to hold, at least for the moment. She turned slightly away from the prison she had formed, even as she continued to maintain it, to shout out some warning to the other heroes present, when she saw one of the alien’s preparing to snatch away the DR through some sort of cosmic gateway of his own creation. "I have this thing contained for the moment, but we need to stop him before he makes off with the gate or we have no way to send it back to where it came from!" She shouted as she pointed toward the Platinum Porpoise.
  17. Well, no real action for her other than to maintain here force construct. Will make a short post, likely with some chatter.
  18. Cape, could you give me a Pilot check to get the chase started.
  19. Sure, will add a bit of challenge to the chase I suppose.
  20. GM Soreen and Laark followed after Starshot as he moved quickly over to the nearest door to the building. "This should be a problem." Soreen commented as she quickly pulled off the panel next to the door and hot-wired it open. Wasting no time, Starshot moved quickly through and into the dimly lit building, making his way towards the escaping pirate, easily outdistancing the others. Starshot's route took him through what appeared to be a storage room, and the door to the garage opened just in time for him to see the pirate's hoverbike zip out of the garage toward the open desert. A quick glance around the garage reveled another hoverbike nearby….
  21. Don't want to bog things down too much, but you will be able to get into the door without too much trouble, what is the plan when you do?
  22. Okay Cape, we are sort of out of combat at the moment. Below is a rough map of the interior of the building. The red is (again) the doors in the black walls. Numbers 3 and 4 by the orange mark (the grenade breech) are two pirates disabled by the Nauseate gas grenade. Number 2 is a pirate in a garage area, who is preparing to get onto a hoverbike.
  23. GM Risking activating his helmet HUD and further draining the helmet's power cells, Starshot turned his attention to the outer walls of the pre-fab structure, looking for what was inside the facility and what might be awaiting them inside. Inside Starshot found several rooms, but he did not focus on the details of their interiors at this point, trying to quickly locate any other occupants at this point. The first occupants Starshot located, were two pirates that were lying on the ground near the hole blasted by the initial grenade, apparently disabled by the gas grenade he had followed up with. Skipping over them for the moment, he scanned through more of the rooms inside, finally locating a third pirate in a far room that appeared to be some sort of garage area. The pirate appeared to be prepping a hoverbike to exit the garage.
  24. Veronica Danger Veronica muttered something in Turkish under her breath as she hastened to try to finish building a spell to protect the scientists and possibly the Door if she could. As she endeavored to finish the spell, the AEGIS agent and Facsimile both had already gone into action, trading attacks with the two costumed criminals, one of whom had moved over near the Door. They were joined by what appeared to be a teenage boy in a rather outlandish costume who was darting about the room, making quips at the criminals as he went. But even as she finished her spell, before she could activate it, something emerged from the Door, some flailing, thing that flew across the room and landed away from any of the room's occupants. Deciding that the others present would have to deal with the costumed criminals, Veronica focused her gaze at the thing from the gate. Slipping the small silver chain that now had four charms attached onto one wrist, the teenager's hands began to glow with faint mystical power of a slightly greenish hue. Raising her hands up, she gestured towards the creature and then back toward the space near where the ASTRO Lab scientists had gathered as they began to clear the room. Walls of green mystical energy began to form, seeking to create a wide dome around the creature from the gate and another forming a wall between the scientists and any of the combatants.
  25. Okay, with the strange thing that came out of the portal, Veronica is going to focus on trying to wall it in where it landed, and create some barriers between the ASTRO Lab personnel and the bad guys. I suppose it is probably a DC 20 Reflex save for the thing from the portal for her to try to box it in (though she would try to put as much space between it and everyone else as she can if possible).
