The Destruction of Massachusetts Academy

[WildKnight]

<OOC: Please post all of your CADS before putting up any other responses. Thank You>

Spending the night in the disciplinary dormitory at the Academy is roughly akin to a night in a Juvenile Detention Center. The entire place is two stories below-ground, and consists of two seperate "living spaces"... one for boys and one for girls. Each contains a large central area where the long-term residents get to have their "group time" surrounded by several small, cell-like rooms. But these rooms are specially designed to keep mutants of every stripe in. So far, Miss Frost has never seen fit to put anyone in these rooms long term, but occasionally, and especially for violent offenses, students are forced to spend a night here.

The fight in P.E. wasn't your fault, of course. Someone else started it. You were just the ones with enough force to finish it. But you got the blame, somehow, and ended up here. Mister Robbins, a mutant Telekinetic who could drive a baseball through a concrete wall if he wished, is the one assigned to watching you, but you haven't seen him since he locked each of you into your individual rooms and "went to the bathroom." That was 5 hours ago.

Maybe its being so far underground that saves you. The explosion must have been massive, for you to feel it so violently down here. Everything shakes. Glass breaks. Fear grips at you, if only for a second. As the dim and flickering emergency lighting kicks in, you can see that the boys dorm is trashed completely. Something has gone horribly wrong.

Background for the Web-spinner:

Web-spinner is an ordinary kid. As ordinary as a kid can be who has discovered he is a mutant with enhanced reflexes and the ability to shoot some sticky/nasty gooey substance from his hands.

This is where he ended up with Miss Emma Frost at her academy in Mass. He knows he can't live a normal life because hiding his abilities is just to time consuming, here at the academy he can be himself among other mutants just like him, or even worse off than he is.

Michael's powers are nearly identical to spider-man's for no reason whatsoever. He doesn't look abnormal except for the slits in the base of his palms where the fluid is projected from. While he secretly wishes to join Spiderman, he takes all sort of crap from the other students for being a second-hand Spider-man.

Unlike most of the other children around him, Aiden was never sent to any school by his parents. Quite the contrary actually. His parents had abandoned him when he was still very young. Still only about four years old at the time, Aiden wandered the various streets until he was taken in by an elderly woman. She didn’t know what to do with him so she reported her find and children’s services came to take him. Aiden’s life changed like this for the first ten years of his life. He moved constantly because various clues came up about his possible parentage. Nothing was ever found though and no one wanted to adopt a silent boy who caused fear everywhere he went. It seemed odd to Aiden at first that people were afraid of him but he eventually learned why. He had the power to inflict that fear onto them. But it wasn’t unnoticeable. His chest glowed vibrantly when he used this. And he didn’t like it in the first place so it seemed like he had been cursed.

It wasn’t until he was nearing puberty that a woman came to him and adopted him. She later revealed herself as Emma Frost. She said that she took care of children like him. Children with special abilities. She took him to her institute and it was there he learned about what he was capable of and various other things. He read every book in the institutes library and learned all that he could until he was satisfied.

Aiden still remains the reserved little boy that he was years ago but occasionally has the odd outburst of energy and hyperactivity that the other children do. But for the most part, he keeps to his books or his own little games unless invited.

(OOC: Do we have any equipment or anything?)

[WildKnight]

(Just school uniforms which are NOT a defensive item... Emma Frost has no "combat team" similar to the X-Men, and as such has no need of combat gear. Other than that you only have equipment that they might allow you to have in a punishment area... i.e. no cell phones or communication devices, but school books, backpacks, and the like would be acceptable)

Bio:

Nelson was a popular athlete at Ridgestone High. He was captain of the Football team during the fall season, and lead runner for Cross Country during his off season. However, during one fateful practice, a strange muscle spasm was occuring in Nelson's body. Ignoring it, Nelson ran onto the field, playfully tackling a friend of his on the way. That playful tackle, however, lead to a fractured collarbone and two broken ribs; Nelson was then put under investigation for suspicion of steroid use.

Nelson's doctor determined that he was not taking steroids, but the effects of his mutation gave off the same effect. His muscles would continue to contract and grow unless an hourly dose of medication was provided. If the correct dose was not taken at the hourly rate required, Nelson's muscles will grow internally until his heart can no longer fuction (lose 1w of health every minute after the hour passes).

Nelson and his family moved away from Ridgestone to Massachusetts where he could have a new beginning. It was there that Nelson's parents were introduced to Emma Frost's Massachusetts Academy.

OOC: are we waiting on the fourth player to start posting? ***** im dumb, it was posted while i was typing this.

[WildKnight]

(Can I not count? I think all 4 CADS are up)

[Aqualad!]

(OOC: Are we all in our cells right now, and are the doors connecting the central area and the cells still up?)

[WildKnight]

(Yep, you're in the cells... and yeah, the doors are there.... but with the glass broken out of the windows and the substantial structural damage, they shouldn't pose much of a problem)

[Reemo]

The fight in the gym had been amazing! Michael thought. Well awesome up to the point where Mr. Robbins laid the smack down on him. He thinks back to the gym. Someone had said something to someone else or used thier gifts inappropriately. All he remembers was next everyone was on everyone else, and he wanted to be apart of it so he started jumping and leaping and swinging from the ceiling making himself a hard target to hit, and inadvertantly pissing everyone else off that tried to hit him. This was only compounded by him webbing everyone's feet to the floor that he could, or those with projection powers he landed his sticky webbing on their face making it impossible for them to aim.

This brought a broad grin to his face. But then Mr. Robbins came and ruined everything. And here he was stuck in the detention room again. The first time he'd been here was for setting webs in doorways to make other kids late to class, and it wasn't like anyone else could be mistaken for his powers. Well unless spider-man came here, but he didn't, he was out there being a superhero.

Mid though, his senses tingle, and he feels it before its actually reverberates into the room breaking glass and tossing things aside. The lights quickly follow right behind. Alone in the silence he doesn't feel safe anymore. I'd better get out of here, that felt like some kind of explosion. Seeing as we dont get earthquakes around these parts

Nelson was sitting against the wall, running today's events over in his head, when the explosion happened. He immediately jumped up and squinted through the darkness before the emergency lights kicked it. It wasn't much, but it was enough to see the wreckage that was the Boy's Disciplinary Dormitory.

"What the hell... who- what is... what?!" He shouted to himself. He couldn't understand what was happening, but had immediately decided to take any advantage to get out of this prison.

After taking off his sweater, he wrapped it around his knuckles to avoid bruising or metal slicing to his fists (as he had so many times in the past) and sent a powerful blow to the already damaged door. After getting out of his cell, he takes a look around the room to remember where the exit was that Mister Robbins had taken.

Aiden sat in his room on his bed Indian style with a book set into the crevice of his legs. He read it as he played with the bit of hair on his face that was forming into a nice goatee. He pulled up the corner of the page before looking up and noticing the explosion. He curled into a ball and then let his arms down and looked about. He felt along his back to make sure nothing had hit him and he hadn't felt it. Finding nothing, Aiden crept to the broken window and looked out. He noticed Michael and Nelson breaking down their doors in order to escape their rooms.

Cretins.

He smacked away the bit of glass left on his window and climbed through. He shook the debris and glass off of his clothing and walked to the others in his bare feet. Shoes bothered him so he made a point of not wearing them unless there was some necessity for it. So he stood content as he was and looked about. It had occurred to him not but a moment ago that Mr. Robbins had left and hadn't shown up for more than a few hours. He furrowed his brown and began examining the room for any clue as to where Mr. Robbins was. Then he realized another oddity, the place was demolished. And everyone was accounted for.

"Is everyone all right?" Aiden asked.

[minotaursrage]

-- Boom...That was sound to his ears. He smirked, thinking to himself how many firecrackers he had exploded, but this was, bigger. But there was probably smoke out there. He knew smoke. Wich he quickly popped a cigarette from it's box and lit it up. He always kept spares in his ankle socks. Lucky for him, they never patted him down. Strange though, he didn't really participate in the fight, just kinda...watched. Who said anything about burning a kid's face with a cigarette cherry was "fighting". He laughed at the thought, and quickly his body became that of the form of a humanoid shape made of flowing smoke.

In his smoke form he was able to pass easily from the cell, which, he obviously could have easily escaped from, he just chose not to piss Emma off. Noticing the others he sighed and floated in their direction.--

"Hey, what's all the destruction? I didn't blow up the toilet this time."
