Sep. 13th, 2038 - Margaret Carter Institute[/b][/color][/h3][/center][hr][@Trainerblue192][@Forsythe]: Indeed, it turned out that these two [i]were[/i] messing with the same bits of paneling. It wouldn't take Vicky too long to find a seam that would allow her to open it up and look inside. She'd see some rat droppings on the ground near it - it seemed like a furry little critter might've been making a home inside of it. In fact, there was an entire section that wasn't sealed down well, leaving an opening big enough for the rodent. 

	But that probably wouldn't be as important as these things: 1) cold spots, the temperature was abnormally low here, and 2) she was picking up what sounded like radio static, something that almost sounded like... a [i]voice[/i]. But there was no one in her vicinity. 

	Of course, ghost!Dorian had his head inside of the console, so he might not be able to see Vicky at first. Inside of the console, he'd see more chewed up wiring, some bags of trash that looked like it had been assembled into a nest, and about FORTY SIX BABY RATS! They were newborns, their eyes not even opened yet, and with no fur. They looked like squishy little wriggling gummy worms. The rat parents didn't seem to be present, but they couldn't be far.

She swallowed somewhat thickly. She loved a girl with a sword. There was something just incredibly enticing and exciting about it - something that made her stand up a little bit straighter. Swords had an elegance to them that guns didn't have - as well as a sense of honor. [color=42A9FF]"N-nice sword!"[/color] April stammered. [color=42A9FF]"Does it have a name? Every good sword has a name. If it doesn't have a name, maybe you could name it after, like, umm, hmm... Oh! I know. You could name it after Atalanta - she's this super cool chick from Greek myths, didn't want to get married and she was super tough and all so she held, like, a marriage contest and beat everyone until like I think Aphrodite or someone decided to meddle in things. But she rocks!"[/color] April could feel a bead of sweat roll down the side of her face. [color=42A9FF]"I mean, aside from getting trapped in a marriage with a man, but that isn't really her fault - like, how was she supposed to resist the golden apples or whatever it was the dude was throwing to distract her... Or you could go with the She-Ra route and name the sword the Sword of Protection, that's also cool and totally on brand!"[/color]

	Thankfully, April managed to stop her blabber mouth. Somehow. Maybe Aphrodite was deciding to take pity on her. She didn't say anything about Dorian vanishing, as he would do this from time to time, and she hadn't seen him run off, so it probably just meant that he had gone ghost and would be back in a bit. 

	And someone else seemed to also be struggling right now - namely Teddy. April would've had to be blind and dumb to not notice something was going on with the local bear of AA. The horrible freshman from earlier - not the one that Danni had torched, the other one - was even poking him in the biceps, asking if he had died. 

	[color=42A9FF]"Awww, you guys are soooo cute!!!!"[/color] April then squealed, seeing the playfulness between Mai and Diana. [color=42A9FF]"Okay, I ship it, but what's the ship name gonna be? DiMai? Maiana? I kinda like Maina, not gonna lie. Or... Chi Di? DiChi? Ooo yes I like DiChi! It reminds me of that like dollar store, Daiso? Love Daiso. Would love to go to one again soon. Gotta get some hi-chews."[/color] She could see it, too. Chi Mai and Diana going to the fall school dance - the Monster Mash as it was officially called, given that it typically came up around Halloween. And then one day they'd get married, both of them in a tux, and they'd live happily ever after and travel the galaxy, fighting monsters and kicking ass and kissing and... 

	April had to stop the fanfic in her mind from spiraling out of control. 

	She also didn't like that Diana had brought up Danni roasting Percy - that had happened [i]ages[/i] ago and it was totally uncool of her to do so. April didn't want Danni to feel upset. Besides, Percy had [i]totally[/i] deserved that anyways. But everyone else had moved on from this it seemed, so April hadn't said anything. 

	[color=42A9FF]"She-Ra cosplays at the Monster Mash dance!!"[/color] April chimed in, her eyes wide. She had a few ideas for who she might want to be in She-Ra - Mermista was an obvious choice, since April's control over water mapped really well with Mermista's powers. But she also had a strong resemblance to Perfuma - a cute blonde who was really to fuck shit up. [color=42A9FF]"Should I be Perfuma? Or Mermista? Wait, who are you all going to be? Sabine is obvi gonna be She-Ra. Because, you know, sword."[/color]

	But She-Ra cosplays would have to wait. 

	Because April's little sister was summoning [i]FLAMING BEES[/i]. 

	[color=42A9FF]"Zelda!!!!"[/color] Okay, maybe shouting [i]wasn't[/i] the best move here. But April was [i]TERRIFIED[/i] of bees. Not only was Zelda being totally uncool, but [i]FLAMING BEES[/i] were swarming around them. And from experience, April knew that Zelda's creations were [i]tangible[/i]. She screamed. April threw her hands out in front of her, reflexively trying to send water flying into the bees, but she couldn't get it together, there weren't enough sources of water to pull from, and all she sent out instead was a pitiful tiny mist. [color=42A9FF]"Stop it with the bees!!!!"[/color] April begged, closing her eyes tightly, as if that would somehow keep the bees from stinging her.
