Who: Everyone
When: Day 1 – noon
Where: The Auditorium
What: ROUND 1 BEGINS

[Some hours have passed, leaving you time to mingle and explore to your hearts content. However, as the clocks tick over to noon … the bell rings again. And this time, it's followed by the hissing static of an intercom system.]

Ahem! Ahem, is this thing on? Ahh, yes … If all Students and Instructors could kindly make their way to the Auditorium, our first class can begin.

[Those people who are understandably reluctant to follow that instruction may just find their feet moving for them, plodding them into the massive assembly hall. Once they're there, the door slams shut and locks behind them.

… There's nobody there, but the intercom is still on.]

[ staring intensely at the door, her hands folded together in front of her; her eyes. . . ? are both swirling vortexes of red and green, glowing - energy seems to fill the air, like something's building up - ]

[ and when it's released . . . . nothing happens. the lock - her target - looks as undamaged as before, and rena sighs wearily. ]

Magic doesn't work either, huh.

Re: MINGLE

[takencontrol]

It's not magic.

[ but - shakes her head ]

I'd imagine magic won't work, either. These beings are always higher than us, infinitely so.

Re: MINGLE

[ninetyninelives]

Artificially so. I checked some magic levels earlier, and they're lower than they should be.

Re: MINGLE

[takencontrol]

So they've dampened our own ability?

Re: MINGLE

[ninetyninelives]

Seems like it.

Re: MINGLE

[takencontrol]

How irritating.

[ frowns ]

But, that's not unexpected.

Re: MINGLE

[ninetyninelives]

Has this happened before too?

Re: MINGLE

[takencontrol]

Many times before, from what I can gather. This is just one of many instances.

What's to come now is nothing pleasant.

Re: MINGLE

[barrette]

[ not sure what you did there, but chances are it was an escape attempt so ]

It was worth a try.

Re: MINGLE

[takencontrol]

It's always like this. . .

[ reaches for her hand automatically ]

If that guy is blocking your power from working, it means he knows it would work, at least.

Re: MINGLE

[takencontrol]

[ taking her hand gently 'v' look at these soft hands ]

Mmm. . . I think my power does work, but perhaps there's a barrier. It feels a bit weaker than before, too . . . my power. . .

[anoblecaws]

Ooh, were you trying to kill him?

[Henry noticed the light show and was spectating silently. But when nothing seems to happen, he decides that maybe now is the time to step in!]

[takencontrol]

No. Merely to break the lock, so that we might escape the place.

If I could see that person, though, I would have attempted that, instead.

[anoblecaws]

[You. He likes you.]

That would probably be better in the long run.

My name's Henry!

[takencontrol]

[ you're cute ]

Sakuma Rena. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[anoblecaws]

Nya ha! Same here.

Sooo, what else can you do with those glowy eyes of yours?
