"You'll love it!" Timothy said confidently. "There's so much to do! How do you do with G-forces? Or loads of liquid butter?"

"Dad."

"Or games of skill? There's this one with a little pellet shooter that I can never beat-"

"Daaaaad."

"Or even-"

Devika finally stood up and waved her hands in front of her father's face to get his attention. "Dad! Over here!"

Timothy blinked and pushed his glasses up. "Oh. Yes, sweetheart, what is it?"

"I think you might be overwhelming Roxy." She finally said. Roxy had never given her more than a few words in the morning, and she figured Roxy was trying to be pleasant for her sake, which was sweet. But she didn't want that patience to be tested. Her father could be a lot when he was excited about something.

"Oh. I'm sorry. Let me vacate while you have your coffee." He grinned and grabbed the tickets from the table.

Devika rolled her eyes as he left, but she didn't seem all that upset. "Sorry. I know he's... eager. Like he's younger than me, sometimes."

Location: Underwater, in the Sub
Interactions: Talon and Viktor

Mirage stared at Rain and Talon both, looking back and forth between the two. Her voice was very level as she quietly dismissed one of them. “Talon, I’ll talk to you later. If you’ll excuse us.” Mirage twisted her hands, and with a careful illusion, made it so only Viktor could hear her next words. The others could see her lips moving, but that was all.

“What I want to know, is what made you think this was a good idea? For one thing, you gave us no warning. You could have killed me or Daphne at that proximity!” She was starting to shake now, her rage building up and pushing into her voice. Her volume lifted louder and louder, but did not break the illusory bubble. “Do you even understand what you’ve done? There are strict laws against killing and not making use of animals in Atlantis! We’ve broken kingdom law by murdering that squid! That’s why I said it had to be kept alive! It wasn’t a target, it was a protected species!”

“But you didn’t think about that, did you? No, all you want is glory for yourself.” There was an eerie edge entering her voice. Something cold and cruel. “You can’t even see past your own ego! You want to be a leader so damn badly, but you don’t even know the first thing about it! A real leader takes everyone strengths into account, builds others up, and makes them better! Not makes every single decision and treats everyone else like dirt! Did you ever consider that you haven’t been chosen to lead because you don’t have the capacity? You don’t deserve to be a leader! You don’t even deserve to be a team member!

Something flashed in her eyes then. Something pitch dark and ugly. Kassy flinched and turned her back on Viktor, fists clenched and eyes shut. “You’re done here. Leave.” A clear and complete dismissal.

The sound righted itself as Kassy stopped the illusion, as if everyone’s ears had been unplugged. “Talon, get us out of here before the sharks show up, please. Everyone else, just… rest. You’ve done everything you could.” She exited the hatch, going back out into the water.
Still here. A little stuck and considering recycling my old intro from the last time we tried this.
Kassandra was reeling back for another hard strike to the kraken when it happened. There was a deafening POOM! - a displacement of water that shoved her back, and suddenly the water was dark with blood and heat.

“What… what…” She murmured, stunned. The squid was dead. Very dead, very suddenly. None of them had that kind of power banked. Then she gathered her senses, trailing the displacement back to the sub. “…”

She swam out of the cloudy blood and took a deep inhale of cleaner water. Then she sighed and activated the comms. “...Good effort, team. Let’s return to the sub.” Her voice was level and calm. Too calm.

Waiting until everyone had gotten back onto the sub, she transformed midway and stepped in, soaking wet. There, her orange eyes took in everyone who could have made the shot. Talon, Alisa, Victor.

“Tell me what happened, please.” Still too calm.
Thinking of a Tactician from either Busara or Shiva.
Why not, I'll throw in my hat.
“You’re right, Adam. This is crazy.” Kijani muttered, turning to Eskel. She fixed him with one of those uncanny golden gazes, eye to eye.

“Prince Eskel, I won’t claim to understand what you’re feeling right now. But – please understand, an uprising is a messy thing. It will not be unanimous. Some people will balk, some people will turn. It will lead to war on your planet. I hope you took our earlier conversation to heart, because if you do this, you will be the one pulling the trigger on it. You will have to be ready to lead, step up and truly fight. This endeavor could see your father dead, or worse, you.”

She sighed faintly, backing down a little. “If you are well and truly prepared for the consequences, then I’m on your side. If this is an impulse decision, then I will not be there.”
Jinny looked up as she was finally addressed by the older girl named Bumblebee. As soon as she had heard that Mikron had messed with new students before, her mind was set on revenge. She wasn’t even particularly angry – it had been fun until the jetpack had failed. It wasn’t going to be a big ordeal. But it was going to be embarrassing, oh yes.

“Oh, hey. Name’s Jin. I don’t have a callsign yet.” She smiled, trying to focus her attention. “And he didn’t have to do much convincing. I heard jetpack and kinda, ah… really wanted to try it. Didn’t think twice.” She shrugged. “It’s no big deal. Like you said, I’m not hurt or anything.” She offered a placating smile toward Mikron – or Gizmo, as he was being called. “It was a good prank.”

First rule of revenge. The target can’t know about it. For now, she would play nice.

“How long have you both been in this school? I can’t wait to start. I feel like I actually might learn something useful here.” No need to tell them that they could be her very first friends and she was deeply excited about that too. “How’s the food? Is it decent?” It was strange. In recent weeks, she’d wanted to eat everything in sight, and then some. Uncle said she was probably having a growth spurt, but she hadn’t noticed any new inches. Something else was up; she knew it, but she didn’t know what.

“What other secrets does this school have?”
Jin relaxed considerably as Lore adjusted her hairstyle. Her sister’s touch was very warm and soothing. It was so much nicer than when her ladies in waiting did it. They always made the bun too tight. “Much better, Lore. Thank you.” She smiled widely and took a delicate sip of the wine. It was delicious, and quite powerful, and had a different scent entirely than what they usually had with dinner. Sulhana was always good at choosing that kind of thing.

“A drinking contest, hm? I suppose I will join. Consider this my entry.” While she had grown used to the nonalcoholic cider in the silver cups, today was apparently the day she became an adult. She took another careful sip of the wine and watched as Vyarin sputtered over his. What was that about? Was he going to be alright? Lore was already on it, so she turned her attention to Hana as she approached.

“I wouldn’t have run away. Not from this. I’m supposed to be the bravest of all of us, aren’t I? So here I am.” She chuckled as she was engulfed in a hug. There had always been a bit of the dramatic in Hana, spymaster or not. She had always been the one to make up stories as children. Her speaking of governesses and new-dress days with four less than earnest young ladies brought a sparkle to her eyes and a grin to her face. It had been simpler, yes. Much simpler.

Jin actually lost composure and blushed when Sulhana mentioned the armor she had received. But she was surprised at her elder sister’s advice. “You think I should have? Perhaps. Then the men would know what they’re really working with, instead of… this.” Sometimes the fancy gowns felt like lying.

She approached Prince Gil, swept a curtsy and smiled. Before they could really get to talk, however, Hana announced that dinner was on the table. Despite her earlier nerves, the head-clearing workout from earlier had made her rather hungry now. It would be good to sit and eat.
It seemed luck was on their side. No sooner did they break through the wall than they ran into the rest of the group they’d been separated from. It looked like a few others had been upgraded just like Harriette had. Jin did not know what the hell was up with that, but really wanted to know.

Before Jin even had time to open their exhausted mouth and ask, that woman from earlier was speaking somewhere near them all. She quickly explained a plan to jump into the river, and it seemed like an absolutely insane idea. For one, they’d fall what, a hundred feet to the drop? For two, Jin had not swam in years. They knew how, but was likely well out of practice.

However, chaos burst out quickly after. Queen Fairy Bitch and then Pondwater were both on the scene at the same time! “Fuck… no more.” Jin murmured, very wearily. They hadn’t even stopped bleeding yet. Truth be told, their head was getting a little fuzzy. There had been no time to mention it as the three of them were trying to escape.

“Don’t have a choice, do I?” Wheezing faintly, they hauled ass toward the river with their remaining strength. It was a hard bit of running, but Jin knew that if they stopped, they would not be getting up again for a long while.

“Fuckfuckfuck-” They geared themselves up midway and leapt off the cliff with both feet, the fuzz in their head increasing rapidly. A startled scream escaped Jin as they fell and fell.

Then there was nothing, as the blood loss caught up to them. They passed out cold in midair, hitting the water with a graceless splash. The current carried them off as they began to sink.
