One spoke up, asking about when the students would get to eat. While somewhat humorous, it was a very fair question. The Headmaster understood that the students had come long and far to get here, and they haven't gotten the chance to replenish themselves. [b][color=39b54a]"I'm glad you mentioned that."[/color][/b] The Headmaster said with a soft smile, pointing towards Ezra. [color=39b54a][b]"After orientation in here, as well as in the gymnasium, we will have lunch in the cafeteria."[/b][/color] He explained. [color=39b54a][b]"We will be serving pizza, salad, pasta and sandwiches. Chips too."[/b][/color] The Headmaster nodded to the students, the chuckles dying down before he moved on to the next question. At the question of a dress code, the headmaster nodded. [color=39b54a][b]"The dress code is not incredibly restrictive, but please wear at least a full set of clothes, and nothing obscene or offensive. I hope that answers your question."[/b][/color] Cyprian nodded with a smile to Quami, before looking to Light. Light had a question regarding powers that they had no control over, such as conditions that aren't triggered upon will. [color=39b54a][b]"Good question!"[/b][/color] He smiled, nodding to Light. [color=39b54a][b]"I'm glad you asked that. As for powers one cannot control, such as a state of being, it's obvious. They are allowed, but if you use them to hurt someone or cause trouble, you will still get in trouble for it."[/b][/color] Cyprian explained. [color=39b54a][b]"The restrictions on voluntary powers are only to prevent accidents or..."[/b][/color] He spoke with airquotes. [color=39b54a][b]"...[i]'accidents.'[/i]"[/b][/color] He said, nodding. [color=39b54a][b]"Good questions, good questions..."[/b][/color] Meanwhile, on the side of the auditorium, the staff kept an eye on the students, making sure things went by smoothly. Deputy Headmistress Farida Ayanov stood closest to the auditorium, while Mister Manuelo Castellanos stood closest to the exit, which was to the back and right of the auditorium, leading outside to the back area of the building. Standing in between them was Constance, Sajaa, Hakam and Tatiana, who all stood there, looking among the students while the questions were asked and answered. They continued to survey the students, before Hakam brought up an important question. [color=bc8dbf][b]"Sajaa? Sweetheart? Do you have the highlighted watchlist?"[/b][/color] Hakam asked quietly to his wife, who stood right beside him. Sajaa looked up to her husband before nodding. [color=39b54a][b]"Oh, yes."[/b][/color] She having held a clipboard in her hand for the majority of the orientation, she pulled it up and turned over a few pages. [color=39b54a][b]"Here we are."[/b][/color] She said, bringing up the list of students who were supposed to show up for orientation, with some names highlighted. [color=39b54a][b]"Here are the names of everyone in this auditorium, as well as their abilities. Udina highlighted all of the ones we should keep a close eye on in pink."[/b][/color] Hakam gently took the clipboard from Sajaa before looking at it himself. [color=bc8dbf][b]"Light and Seven seem to be on the caution side of things..."[/b][/color] Hakam said softly, looking to the others, who were listening intently. [color=bc8dbf][b]"...but Lyrah is a mental power advisory, and so is Chris, so keep an eye on your emotions and your thoughts. They might use them against you to get what they want. I hate those types."[/b][/color] He continued to look through the list. [color=bc8dbf][b]"Hm... there's one highlighted in blue... [i]Alexis[/i]."[/b][/color] He looked to Tatiana. [color=bc8dbf][b]"She's a felon on an Academy Transfer Deal. Tatiana, you're supposed to be her security detail."[/b][/color] Tatiana looked to him for a second with a somewhat confused expression on her face before it clicked in her mind, to which she gave a fearful sigh. [color=bc8dbf][b][i]"Shit."[/i][/b][/color] She groaned. [color=bc8dbf][b]"Totally forgot about that part in the briefing. Any idea of where she's at?"[/b][/color] It was then Alexis spoke up. Headmaster Udina listened to her clear disrespect for him, and her clear disdain for the place, asking when she could leave while simultaneously trying to mock him. Headmaster Udina simply smiled. [color=39b54a][b]"You will get to leave the Powerbound Academy as soon as you have completed all of your classes and electives. How long you stay in this school is entirely voluntary, and varies from student to student. It all depends on what you want to learn, and what you need to learn. While most students here would take four to eight years, ten or twelve if they really apply themselves, you on the other hand won't be leaving until you come up with something better than that."[/b][/color] Udina grinned. [color=39b54a][b]"And judging by your remarks, I'd give you... say, fifty years? I don't know."[/b][/color] Udina said with his smile, his implications quite clear. Most of the students understood those implications, and 'ooooohhh'd at that statement. Tatiana rolled her eyes, spotting Alexis from the crowd. [color=bc8dbf][b]"Figures, fucking pendejo."[/b][/color] She sighed. [color=bc8dbf][b]"I'll be right back. Won't be surprised if she ends up killing me on the spot..."[/b][/color] She said to the others. As she was walking towards where Alexis was at, the others watched as some of the students exchanged words, but ones that weren't quite so friendly. Quami stood up to her, and Alexis stung right back. The two exchanged a brief flurry of words before Lyrah ended up joining the mix. Soon enough, Tatiana arrived on scene, looking in between the three of them. [color=bc8dbf][b]"Hey, hey, cálmese... can you guys please quiet down?"[/b][/color] Tatiana asked politely. [color=bc8dbf][b]"While what she did was incredibly rude, and while we do appreciate you for calling her out on it, it's kind of interrupting the orientation and breaking the flow of things. So please, sit down. I can take it from here."[/b][/color] Tatiana said calmly, hands on her hips. All in the while, the Deputy Headmistress was continuing to work her magic, using her powers of manipulating energy to bring a calming effect to most of the students, either easing the energy in their nerves, or easing the energy from adrenaline. Either way, the situation was (supposed to be) quelled, and the Headmaster continued on with questions from the students. Once Lyrah and Quami sat down, Tatiana looked to Alexis, putting a hand on her shoulder. [color=bc8dbf][b]"Hey hot stuff. It just so happens that this 'idiot' did a little research on ya. Heard about your deal with the FBI."[/b][/color] She whispered with a soft smirk. [color=bc8dbf][b]"And as a result, you're stuck with us as long as we see fit, so I would spare your breath and bluster if I were you."[/b][/color] Tatiana explained. [color=bc8dbf][b]"I'm Tatiana by the way, I'll be your security detail from here on out. Just give me a reason to show the rest of the students what they'll be dealing with, I'd happy to showcase the effects of a ten-million volt power-neutralizing taser."[/b][/color] She teased. [color=bc8dbf][b]"And the best part? Well, we don't have a problem throwing your stupid ass in prison if you fuck up. And the prison? Well, it's the STC holding facility that the Headmaster mentioned, and those things are deep within the mountains of multiple classified locations, and you live in a cell that neutralizes your powers. Heavily guarded. No escape. [i]Life sentence.[/i]"[/b][/color] Tatiana explained. [color=bc8dbf][b]"So, I'd suggest you think before you fuck up again. Sound cool?"[/b][/color] After everything has settled down, the Headmaster continued to answer questions from the students. While some of the questions were quite trivial, such as where the bathrooms were at, when the tour would start, and whether dogs would be allowed on campus or not (one needs to go get written permission to have one on campus), there were some questions that would've caught the attention of other students. [color=8dc73f][b]"Are there any clubs or organizations in this academy?"[/b][/color] One student asked. [color=39b54a][b]"Oh yes, there are plenty of clubs and organizations in this academy."[/b][/color] The Headmaster said, nearly butchering a few words with his heavy unplaceable accent. [color=39b54a][b]"We have the Yearbook Club, Chess Club, Gamer's Guild, Parkour Club, Student Council, as well as the Football and Soccer Leagues."[/b][/color] He explained. [color=39b54a][b]"One could form a smaller club if one wishes, though one would have to seek a little supervision from one of our teachers before forming it."[/b][/color] He turned to another student. [color=39b54a][b]"Yes?"[/b][/color] [color=8dc73f][b]"Who's the STC?"[/b][/color] [color=39b54a][b]"The STC, or, uh... Special Tasks Alliance, is a branch of the Powerbound Alliance that is a little more military than the other divisions, such as the Heroes Without Capes or the Powerbound Alliance itself. Not to worry, the STC people that are here with us today are here to help, and are here to keep you all safe."[/b][/color] [color=bc8dbf][b]"Or in your case, makes sure that pendejos like you don't step out of line."[/b][/color] Tatiana said quietly to Alexis. [color=39b54a][b]"Now, are there any more questions?"[/b][/color] If there were no more questions, Udina would've continued on. Otherwise he would've answered them all before continuing. [color=39b54a][b]"Alright! Well, it's a pleasure meeting you all here, and I wish you all a great school year! Remember, speak to me or anyone else if you have questions or problems!"[/b][/color] He then gestured to Constance, who stood at the double-doored exit. [color=39b54a][b]"Front rows, line up in front of Missus McDowell."[/b][/color] After the students in the front row left their seats and lined up, he then allowed the students in the back rows, and then the middle rows to line up as well. [color=39b54a][b]"Missus McDowell will show you your way to the Gymnasium, where you will all demonstrate your powers. I hope you all enjoy your stay!"[/b][/color] And with that, the Headmaster left the stage, walking up to the rest of the staff before speaking to them. Once Alexis got up and left, Tatiana followed close behind. [color=bc8dbf][b]"I have a feeling you and I are gonna get along just fine. Just know your place here, and soon enough, we might actually tolerate your very existence."[/b][/color] Tatiana winked at Alexis before following her to the line.
