[i][u]Nicholas Raynor, Adam Blackmore, & Sylvia Bertoose.[/u][/i]

[i]Ugh...is she still following me?[/i]

That was the thought plaguing Nicholas' mind as he walked through the hallways towards the exit of the dormitories, having made his way there while ignoring a certain voice-modifying meta-human. Not because he didn't find her attractive, but because it was obvious her goal was just to be extremely obnoxious and tease him constantly. After a moment, however, he found himself spotting a nearby water fountain, tilting his head. He was a bit parched. Without a second thought, he quickly walked towards it, leaning down and tilting the knob to shoot out an arching line of water, leaning his head down to begin to sip it. After finishing sipping the water, he rose his head up and turned around, fully expecting to see Sylvia there, waiting to taunt him again in some fashion.

"... Young man!" Adam said, [i]very[/i] loudly, to get Nicholas's attention. He had appeared out of no where behind Nick, with his hands behind his back. No footsteps, nor any sound - It was ambigious if Sylvia knew he was even there! Like a ninja. [i]This technique has been passed down the Blackmore line for generations.[/i] He thought to himself. He had business to tend to with Nick. Specifically, he was one of the students that was [i]supposed[/i] to be in his class, but, - shocker - was no where to be seen. That was simply unacceptable. Now, today was the day that Adam had to set a [i]lot[/i] of examples. Let the students know who has authority here, and who they need to follow without question. Even letting one thing slip wasn't going to fly.

"Do you know [i]where[/i] you were supposed to be today at two-PM...?" He gave Nicholas a narrow glare. He calmly took his glasses off, and breathed on them, before wiping them off with his shirt. "Rhetorical question. You were supposed to be in [i]my[/i] class." He scoffed, taking a momentary break for Nicholas to take in what he just said. "Now, I have read your file, and it says you're new here. I am [i]very[/i] curious as to what you were doing at those times..."

"... Care to indulge me?" He stopped.

Sylvia dramatically gasped when Adam dropped the bomb. "Oh no!" She covered her mouth, and widened her eyes as far as they could go. "My sweet, innocent, pure, Nicholas... Breaking the rules?! I just can't watch!" Sylvia feigned passing out. She lied down on the ground, with her eyes closed, and a arm over her head. 

[i]Oh Lord Almighty, what have I unleashed?![/i] The young man thought to himself, standing frozen for a moment before slowly turning around, recognizing the man. Oh dear...this was just going to be just...horrible. He slowly swallowed up any remaining shreds of courage he had, only taking a moment to look down at Sylvia, mentally letting loose a loud facepalm that could be heard mentally if anything with the patience to listen to his thoughts could hear. He seemed to almost tremble in fear while staring up at the old man. Not because of his appearance, but the realization that all sorts of things could happen to him now. Was he going to be thrown into detention with the other two males that could rip him to shreds at a moment's notice, or was he going to get even -worse- punishment? Well...you know what they say. Honesty is the -best- policy, and in front of Sylvia, this was going to be painful, but ya know, best get it out of the way. "Well, sir...em...I-I'll be honest with you. I didn't know what to expect, and to be honest, I don't feel quite comfortable in such a large group of people like this, so...I kind of just...stayed in my dorm and read a book?" He managed to finish up. Oh boy. He had a feeling that this was -not- going to be met with grace and favor. But in the back of his mind, maybe the old man would understand. He could hope, couldn't he?

Sylvia playfully opened an eye. "Yer' gonna get [i]SPANKED[/i] soooooooo hard...." She closed that eye.

Uncomfortable? That was not a [i]new[/i] excuse. This child could be lying... Which is great that Adam has telepathy. He put two fingers on the side of his head, and plunged deep into the boy's mind... Turns out, his story is correct. Regardless, Adam couldn't let this behavior slide [i]that[/i] easily. This child needed to be reprimanded. Because he could use the same logic in regards to [i]all[/i] his classes. "I cannot allow this behavior to pass," Adam began, stern as always, "Regardless of whether or not you were "comfortable", you have to attend [i]all[/i] your classes." He nodded his head. "I believe a punishment is in order..." He tilted his head, like he was thinking really hard.
"Ah, I have the perfect way to reprimand you," Adam raised a finger. "This school requires much cleaning, and we are rather understaffed when it comes to janitors." He clapped his hands together. "We also have plenty of younger students. Many that have not developed that common-sense you and I have. A few have taken to drawing on all the walls...." He looked away, embarassed, before he continued "... On all the staff walls." He coughed, putting a fist up to it. "You will clean up [i]all[/i] of it."
Sylvia suddenly "awoken" getting back on her behind, with the most fiendish smile on her face. She started waving her hand in the air, "Oh, oh, oh! I'll provide moral support! I'll sing him a song!" 

Adam rolled his eyes up into his head. "... Very well, Ms. Bertoose. You, follow me to where you need to do your job.." He shrugged, and turned around, heading towards the staff dorms. With both of his little delinquents behind him.

Oh dear God Almighty, it was worse than he thought. Listening to the authoritative judgements of the man, and beyond that, being all too aware now of what Sylvia was going to do, he was all but ecstatic in the most sarcastic way he could be. But he didn't complain. He didn't draw attention to himself, beyond letting out a "Yes sir." joined alongside a sigh. He was used to being punished like this, after all, it wasn't the first time he had gotten himself in a bad situation because of his temperament. But those times were the past, maybe the man was right. Besides, he had actually somewhat complimented, saying that Nicholas himself had common sense! It was the nicest thing he had heard from anyone all day, so he supposed it was a step up, even if it -did- mean cleaning duty.

Nonetheless, as he followed after Adam, he curiously looked him over. Something about the way he held his fingers to his head earlier perked Nicholas' interest. He tilted his head, the curiousity beginning to nibble at his mind like a small rat, slowly making its way through all kinds of obstacles to get that elusive, mind-persuading cheese that just never stopped plaguing its little mind, uuugh. "Em...sir...that -thing- you did, with your fingers?...Was that some sort of telepathy?" He asked. Oh dear, hopefully, he didn't just upset the old man and open up a can of worms. After all, he had dealt with a couple of teachers who didn't -want- to teach, they just wanted to say the same stuff every school year to a new set of students and get them out of the way so they can get their pay. There -was- a difference between the two, after all.

Hm... Maybe this child is a bit more perceptive than he had anticipated. That, or he's experienced telepathy before. Either case worked. Adam answered his question, quick and simple, "Yes. One of the powers I have access to is Telepathy. It was how I found you, in fact." Adam nodded his head, casually dropping the fact that he may be a power replicator, or have multiple powers. Adam lead them through the maze-like hallways of the school. Going from the student dorms to the staff dorms... It wasn't long until they reached the place Adam talked about. He stopped right there, and put his hand out. "This is what you'll be working on today."

"Awwww, damn! Those kids balls haven't eve-" Sylvia inserted, surprised.

"Watch your mouth, young lady." Adam cut Sylvia off.

What was the damage? An entire hallway covered in crayon drawings. It wasn't just scribbles, it was actual drawings. Someone had drawn a house, a open field, and an oversized sun with crayons alone. While on the other side, there was a mirror drawing, except it was night time. Whoever did this was quite the artist. Probably had something to do with their power. Either way, it was a mess.

"The staff apprehended who was responsible for this earlier...." Adam quickly walked over to a janitor closet, before pulling out a bucket of water. Which was warm, and had vineagar and baking soda mixed into it. It also had a large sponge floating in it. "... You'll need this. It has everything you need to get all this nonsense off the walls." Adam nodded his head, before he turned around and walked the opposite direction. "I will come back to check on you later... I suggest you make haste..." Adam took off his glasses, and gave Nick a dry glare. "... For I plan on making you do a private lesson to make up. Goodbye." Adam disappeared into the hallways.
"... Best ya' get that ass working. I think I see a [i]penis[/i] in there!" Sylvia quickly said, as she got out the way, finding a nearby corner, sitting down in it. She pulled out her guitar and began playing it for no reason at all. She played a soothing, lovey-song. "... Just to keep you [i]entertained[/i]." She looked at him with a sinister smirk, "Now get to work! We have many more adventures that just [i]call[/i] for us!"

Really? Crayon drawings? To be fair, it wasn't as bad as he expected, and it could have gone much worse. On the bright side, though, his assumptions about what Adam had done were proven true, and his curiosity was satisfied. At least, for now. Perhaps his knowledge of video games hadn't served him falsely, being he had seen something similar. Not to mention, saturday morning cartoons were always fun to watch. Either way, he quickly made his move, grabbing a hold of the sponge floating in the water, and then turning towards the wall with the night theme, and beginning scrub along the walls. "Yeah, yeah. I know." He simply responded to the girl, looking at her for a moment with a straight face before looking back. Private lesson, huh? Well, at least it would possibly get him away from Sylvia. Definitely something to look forward to, instead of being stressed out by her shenanigans to try to hide away from her.
