As wealth now gives a capped bonus to some interaction skills you would have to drop those skills (or charisma) down an appropriate nuber of ranks. or you can not have wealth and buy some of hte trappings of it with equipment devoted to an HQ maybe a status benefit. But if you want to have cash on hand you can't cap your diplomacy/gather info on stats and skills alone kinda like the attractive feat.

Mike let out the rare genuine smile Alex's nickname but wiped it off his face before she turned back around to rejoin the group. "So long Mrs. Albright," He said with a wave, "Tell my mom I'll be fine and not everything is processed in the cafeteria." He added with a quick grin. As Alex's mom headed off he turned and looked at his companions "So we seem to have some time what next?" he Inquired as they started off back in the general direction of the dormatories.
-
As the 'cop' faded from view Mike glanced aroudn nervously, when he heard Alexs message his search became more furtive as he tried to pick out those faces from the crowd. "Yea, we'll have to keep an eye out." He said still looking around. 'ANY IDEA WHAT THEY DO?' He thought at Alex and began movign through the crowd towards their next destination.
-
Mike only shrugged and mumbled a grudging "I suppose." in response to Erin before they shuffled off down the hall for Photos and fittings. Mike quickly brushed his hair back from his face with his hand before the picture and managed a small smile on his otherwise disinterested face but it certainly captured his good side despite his lackluster attitude. After Alex fled the tailors stand mike stepped up and grudgingly stood to his full height and posed as prompted. He sighed heavily with each measurement, though the tape measure revealed a more impressive physique than his baggy cloths and withdrawn posture would indicate. Once finished he pulled his coat back on and slumped against the wall scowling through his bangs at the whole procedure. 'Uniforms, Seriously?' He thought 'Well at least I'll have something if Alex wants to go trick or treating again this year'

Diplomacy check for school picture (1d20+2=20) Not too bad :)
-
Never having had much choice in his prior education Mike was at first a little overwhelmed by the selections available even in the limited summer session but had settled upon a few that had piqued his intrest. None of them likely to push the scholastic envelope but they seemed cool to him. That done he had retreated to scribbling in a composition book he used as a journal. When Erin returned he closed the book and slid it back in his bag while Alex expounded on the joys of summer school. At Alexes comentary he shrugged and noted "I like making stuff, its relaxing." He left unsaid his thoughts on having to balance for his breaking of stuff. "Anyway," He quickly moved on to say, "I the summer schedual didn't look too full I figure we'll have some stuff together."
-
Mike watched the strange young woman twirl and leave and shook his head in mild confusion, 'Well at least Alex won't be out of place. People seem friendly enough if a bit odd.' he thought to himself. He pushed off the wall gently and made his way into the hallway while the girls finished unpacking. "Now the real fun starts, paperwork." He said as they finished up and joined him in the hall. He quickly checked to make sure his bag had any documents or other things he may need and once satisfied said "I'm all set lets get this over with."
-
Mike patiently waited near the entry way as Alex took his share of her bags and set about her unpacking once freed from his burdens he claimed an unoccupied section of wall to lean against as he waited for the girls to go about their unpacking or investigating while staring absent mindedly out the window. Distracted as he was he didn't take note of the new arrival until she spoke. Mike boggled at her unused as he was to such effusiveness from anyone not Alex. After giving the girls a chance to introduce themselves he waved an acknowledgement and introduced himself as well "Hi, I'm Mike. I'm rooming downstairs for the summer."
-
Mike watched the exchange with slight confusion of the subtext. "Uh, I think I'm good with solo if they don't need to put someone in here I'm pretty used to my own space." He said as awkward re-entry into the convorsation. "I'm all done here." He said gesturing to the pile of bags, "I'll sort out the rest later." He waited for everyone else to file out then followed takeing note of the surroundings and room number so as to not lose track of where he was staying. Then waited on Mrs. Harcourt to lead them to the girls room.
-
Mike glanced around the room briefly before striding across the room to deposit his bags on the bed least likely to get morning sun in his opinion. That taken care of he checked out the dawers on the desk and doors on the wardrobe quickly and rather cursorily. "Is there like some check in thing I gotta do?" He asked as he began rumaging in his pile of bags. After a moment he pulled a black backpack bedecked in buckles out of the mass and slung it over his shoulder. As Alex asked her question he looked to Mrs. Harcourt "Yea, should I expect a roomate soon?"
-
Mike casually took in the decor with almost practiced disintrest, his eyes lingering a few moments longer on the assorted electronics. After all no matter how maladjusted he was still a teenage boy and the lure of video games and what not was a powerful one. As Alex and Erin drifted off he leaned against a nearby wall and cooly observed the room from the fringe, rolling his eyes at Mrs. Albrights motherly concens. "Don't worry Mrs. Albright I'll be sure to call if Alex starts going to far out of control." he joked.

Woo hoo :) -
Mike visibly calmed after the brief touch though he still eyed the displays of power with some discomfit. He tuned back into the conversation in time to hear about the rooms and looking to the girls almost cheerily, for Mike, said "See roommate fears allayed." He sent to alex in his usual almost mental yell "I certainly hope so its just been awhile since we've been around other kids and they don't look that supervised." Tuneing back out of the convorsation as he does so and following the group in a vague fog as the guids point out landmarks along the way.
-
Mike shrugged in response and followed the others into the quad. When ever he caught himself gawking at the open use of powers he quickly stifled it with a sullen frown. As the boy stretched across the yard towards them he masked his surprise about as well as he had with the other displays which is to say he didn't but made it clear he was trying too. "Isn't it kinda risky?" Mike asked "I mean if people notice that the school is full of... people with powers, won't they be frightened?" He glanced around nervously before adding "And I mean some powers can be dangerous what if someone gets hurt?" Mike glanced to Alex for reassurance clearly upset by this prospect.

Just wanted to make sure this wasn't lost in the crush. -
Mike just nodded his silent assent and gathered the rest of the bags from the car before taking half of Alex's in the other hand. With the bags gathered he looked to Koyama and forced a smile and spoke "Lead on." He spared a glace after that to Alex to smugly give her the 'see I can play nice' look. "I'm sure they can answer all of your questions Alex," he said with genuine amusement at his friends eagerness "But one at a time might help the rest of us keep up." Though already burdened with the majority of the contents of the station wagons storage bay he turned a questioning glance to Erin "Need a hand with that?"
-
Mike merely glared at the young prankster and slowly began opening his door. Oh boy hazing he thought. He stepped out of the car once Koyama moved away from the door and stretched breifly to his full height before dropping into his standard slouch and extended a grudging hand to the young man to avoid alex's inevitable lecture should he be rude on thier first day. "Mike Harris." He stated simply. Formalities taken care of he pulled his own back pack from the trunk and turning to Mrs. Harcourt asked in a respectful tone, "Should we unpack now? Or is the tour first?"
-
Mike was thouroughly lost in his own thoughts when he felt the small tug on his arm. He shook his head in vague confusion at Alex's words. "Wha huh," he quieried as the fog began to lift from his mind. As Erin inquired about the prank it fully dawned on him what had been said. "Wait, yea, what kinda prank?" he asked as he glanced around frowning at the passing foilage and buildings the splendor of the campus largly lost in his sudden confused paranoia. He tensed slightly and prepared himself for the unexpected sitting closer to his full height than he had since the drive began as he looked for some kind of threat.
-
Mike sucks more. I declare the roller borken :)
-
And i think this one is done. We'll pick up with thier arrival when we get the orientation/powercheck thread going.
-
So when we tie off the intro we're in now should we start an Orientation thread over there or wait on a ref to start it up?
-
I think we finish this off with our arrival and get a ref for the orientation and/or powercheck thread. It looks like most of the clairmont specific stuff happens in bayview so since its a good break point we can have a new thread thats there.
-
Also the thief has been upgraded to Rant N' Rave messing with us I think. Go ahead and ask Sandman about joining in the OOC thread though I imagine it'll be fine
-
Mike quietly and efficiantly gathered up the detritus of the meal and made his way to the garbage can to dispose of it. Returning to the table he inquired "Shall we then. No time like the present." He waited for his companions to stand and followed them out to the car. The tall boy settled into the car with a nervous sigh as they headed once more underway to the school, his thoughts and worries whirring silently in his head though somewhat plain on his face and in his posture.

Mike followed her up to the counter blissfully unaware of his faux pas and handed his own more diminutive stack over to be rung up. As the cashier scanned his items witht he usual glacial pace of a minumum wage employee Mike replied "You know what your problem is? Your spoiled." He waved off her impending arguement and continued, "You don't understand the value of snack food and that is should not be tainted by health food no matter how covered in waxy chocolate." He continued his diatribe against the evils of tainted snacks explaining "If you had to have raisens for every movie untill you could go without your parents you would understand that the inexorable right to indigetion inducing movie food must be exercised or you may well lose it." He nodded quite pleased with his argument and took his change formt eh thouroughly unimpressed cashier.
