Sep. 13th, 2038 - Margaret Carter Institute[/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr][@Ogobrogo]: Teddy was clearly LIVING, high on life. As he took his sweaty, stinky self back to his dorm room to wash up, he'd run into a pair of siblings in the lobby. Diana Novikova and Percy Novikov, the Novikoffs if you were nasty. (See Percy's post for more update goodness~)

[@Blizz]: Maybe it was a trick of the light. Or maybe it was something more. Her hand seemed to darken somewhat, taking on an earthy tone and texture. The transformation would look like it had begun to slowly spread up her arm. The moment Leah released the hammer though, her hand would change back to normal - just ordinary skin, nothing earthy about it. 

	"Hurry up, I wanna try!" a snot-faced freshmen complained, having been waiting 'patiently' for all of ten seconds behind Leah to try out the hammer. No one had managed to lift the hammer all day, although one or two students claimed that it had started to budge, and they had stopped out of respect for Thor. 

[@Natsu]: Once complete, feel free to post our collab :) 

[@BlueSky44]: As Zelda makes her way back to the dorm, she will [i]also[/i] have to go through the ground floor of Stark Hall. This places her exactly where two people who would be somewhat familiar to her are - Diana Novikova and Percy Novikov, again, the Novikoffs if you're nasty lol. (See Percy's post for more update goodness~)

[@Ever Faithful]: For Ardere, the person in front of her was still inside the Fortune Telling tent with Prof. Harkness. They should be out soon though, so hopefully she won't have to wait much longer. If she decides to do some people watching, she'll notice a group of girls heading over to get their faces painted - Kate Bishop, America Chavez, and Cassie Lang. By the reactions of other people looking at them, it'd be safe to say that those were THE popular girls at school, the ones who really ruled this place. 

[@BlueSky44][@Forsythe][@Nallore][@Kirah]: 
[hider=Roll Recaps]Mads - becomes irrationally angry with Ser Megan
Zari - no effect (somewhat because Asgardians already want to fight everyone lol)
Vicky - no effect
Andy - becomes irrationally angry with Ser Megan
SELENE! - no effect (sadly)[/hider]

	The King looked both annoyed and relieved that Mads had agreed to go up against Ser Megan. "Passive powers are permitted in all matches, as inhibitors are unethical," the King explained. "Beyond that, it's up to the duelists if ye would like to have all of your talents at play! The duel is to the death or yield. Preferably the latter, Megan." 

	Ser Megan might've scowled, might've smirked, or even just made no face at all as she looked Mads up and down. "I want you at your best," Ser Megan said. "If that's with your witchbreed gifts, then that's fine with me." She had her foam sword at the ready and she shifted into a fighting stance. She was already in the center of one of the little rings - ready to fight, whenever Mads was. 

	Andy would manage to make her way over to the Academy Knights booth and rejoin her friends. Along the way, Selene had mostly behaved, although she kept pointing out different students to Andy and whispering [i]virgin[/i]. By the time they had reached the Academy Knights though, the Selene doll was still and just appeared to be an ordinary doll, definitely not possessed by the trapped spirit of an immortal mutant sorceress, who claimed to be the common ancestor for modern mutants. 

	There was another little ring space as well, so Vicky and Zari would be able to have their practice fight at the same time as Mads faced off against Ser Megan. But hey, maybe Andy would want to fight too, could have a 1x1x1 battle maybe? 

[@Trainerblue192]: For better or for worse, Dorian had just missed Percy - Percy was already back down on the first floor by the time Dorian had gone to his room and read the horrifying note on the door. No one else seemed to be around at the moment really. His dorm mom / supervisor, Firestar, must've been out at the carnival with the other faculty - where pretty much everyone in the school was hanging out at the moment, celebrating a few more fleeting moments of freedom before classes would start up again. Hopefully the rest of Dorian's day goes better than it has so far! And hopefully Nemo won't be too upset about the teacup...[hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=ed1c24]Percy Novikov[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://img.wattpad.com/7bef7bb2df2407b7a126ff2d06ce52b3e7841d05/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f345144486b5f686c4c417a7949513d3d2d313131333330353138352e313639396563653435346339393531383632303232343135333831382e676966[/img][hr][b][color=ed1c24]Location:[/color][/b] Stark Hall - First Floor

He could guess that Diana would want to go to archery, but she had specified that [i]he[/i] got to pick. He was intrigued somewhat by the option of dressing up for photos or playing chess. But if he were being honest... he was the most interested in fortune telling. 

	Some people might've been surprised, but he did believe in that sort of thing - mostly because one of his moms' coworkers was the Scarlet Witch. Magic and the supernatural weren't unproven, they were facts, real and concrete. Maybe Agatha Harkness could tell him what he had to do in order to avoid those assholes from earlier for the rest of his life. Or maybe she'd do him the kindness of lifting whatever sort of curse they had no doubt placed on him, as that many repeated traumas and assaults didn't just happen by accident. 

	[color=ed1c24]"I want to do fortune telling,"[/color] Percy settled on. [color=ed1c24]"I want to ask Agatha for a detailed plan on how to never see those pieces of shit again. And then, I want her to tell me about your love life, so I can practice my disapproving glare at the lucky guy or gal early. It needs to be withering."[/color]

	He secretly was somewhat interested in his own love life as well - not that he would fess up to that. He had a certain image to maintain, standards to adhere to. If Agatha told him he was going to end up with some common fool, he wanted to know now, so he could make drastic changes to avoid that fate. 

	Percy then turned his head, seeing someone enter the ground floor of Stark Hall. He had not really met his roommate, but it was hard not to recognize him on sight. Percy gave him a curt nod. [color=ed1c24]"Nice to see you, Teddy."[/color] He had given Teddy the once over and saw that people's descriptions of Teddy as a young bear were not really exaggerated too much at all. Percy was fairly certain Teddy could knock him over just with a sneeze.

	And then, not too long after, a vaguely familiar face came on through. He didn't know her super well, but well enough to recognize her - Zelda Flynn. [color=ed1c24]"Is... is that a bear dressed up as She-Hulk? I didn't know bears were so popular here,"[/color] Percy said dryly, his eyes flickering over to Teddy as he said [i]bear[/i].[hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=42A9FF]April Flynn[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://66.media.tumblr.com/1052bc1bcb3589665e860b52b0438829/6e7a80a5565ffc5a-c9/s540x810/f0dea2550169c12bb0369c2b2b93704ed40f4b45.gif[/img][hr][b][color=42A9FF]Location:[/color][/b] the Field (School Carnival) - Dunk Tanks

Her stuff was hidden in her dorm room at the moment, and April knew that Dorian was likely back there calming down, so she didn't want to go back there and intrude on him, not when he wasn't feeling well. 

	Something dark twisted in April's stomach though as she saw Sabine link arms with Danny. She didn't dare put a name to the emotion, though. When it came to unpleasant emotions, April tried to live by the advice of a Disney classic - [i]conceal, don't feel[/i]. It worked for the most part. And the school hadn't ever pulled her to the side to talk about why the pipes in Stark Hall seemed to freeze over at least once a month, despite their location in sunny southern California. Nope, there was nothing here for her to examine, everything was (going to be) fine! She plastered an extra big smile on her face, even though it made her cheeks hurt. Today was (going to be) a fantastic day. 

	[color=42A9FF]"No way!"[/color] April gasped, at Danny's revelations about Professor Harkness and Headmaster Coulson. At an ordinary school, a rumor like that would've been dismissed immediately. But here at AA, crazy things were normal - the headmaster secretly being a clone of a crazed eugenicist was hardly the most outrageous thing April had heard about the staff here. For instance, she knew that one of the teachers was a cat created by some dude called the High Evolutionary, and went around getting into trouble, Puss in Boots style (another classic movie). [color=42A9FF]"What if EVERYONE on staff is Sinister? My parents don't get involved in X-Men style shit often, my mom says she went to that mansion once and it was a gigaaaantic mistake, but like... He's no joke. I think he's on like ten million different SHIELD watch lists. Like, I think he was a [i]Nazi[/i] or something and got paperclipped or whatever it was that they did to evil science peeps? Also, you and Kate would be SUCH a cute couple, Mai, you should def go for it even if they didn't split, wreck that home!"[/color] 

	When a portal opened with a [i]whoosh[/i], and a jacket was ejected, April wasn't as cut off guard as she had been the first few times this had happened near her. If she remembered correctly, she had actually [i]screamed[/i] like a Final Girl the first time it had happened. Instead, she waved eagerly with her candy apple at the rapidly closing portal, despite not even catching a glimpse of who was on the other side. [color=42A9FF]"Hi Mr. Gray!"[/color] April called out cheerfully, doing her best still to be the person everyone wanted her to be - the upbeat, fun, bright, ever positive girl next door. 

	The group then arrived at the dunk tanks, where [url=https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/coulson16.jpg]Headmaster Phil Coulson[/url], struggling to hold onto his remaining three or four hairs, was at their mercy. His suit was sopping wet, so they definitely wouldn't be the first students to dunk him that day. And they probably wouldn't be the last. There was a bucket of balls, and the person running the booth explained that everyone got three tries, and there were no repeat visits allowed, so they'd need to make every ball count. 

	"So, who wants to throw some balls first?" the attendant asked, looking at the group.
