Current There's a big old heat wave spreading out down here. If I'm slow with responses, it'll be because I'm melting.

Alright, here's my CS. Feel free to tell me if I need to change something.

I'm interested, got a dinosaur power based character I've been wanting to try for a while. Might send something via PM, we'll see.
Joseph briefly sank into thought at the orders. So this time it was the gearhead, the cleaner, and the little boss. He had worked with all of them at least once before, and if he had to pick someone to watch his back, Alek was easily lowest on the list. It wasn't his skills - Joseph knew skill, and the blond haired russian had it in spades. He even trusted him quite a bit, in a way. Alek was smart, professional, and thorough. It was where his interests lay that was the concern. He could trust him to do the job right, and do it quickly, and that would have to do for now. The russian was a tough nut to crack, and Joseph had neither the time nor inclincation to look for a nutcracker.

"No problems for me, boss." The gruff military man said in response to her question.
Setting aside the question of allegiance, the question of skills was non-existant. Between his 3 teammates, they weren't lacking in any area when it came to infiltration. He had experience with this kind of mission, and there was nothing else left to say. All they would need to do was scope out the compound beforehand and they would be prepared for anything that came their way. Oh, and he'd probably need to ask for a silencer from Gabriel after the meeting.

Joseph reclined in his chair, relaxing his mind as he looked around the room, waiting for the others to respond.
The hustle and bustle of the busy neo-tokyo streets was a constant strain on the senses, a veritable storm of sensations that never stopped. It was enough to drive anyone insane, if they were forced to live in it for days on end. Perhaps that was the reason why buildings crept higher and higher into the sky, as if to escape the mire of noise that rose up from below. In contrast to the busy bar on the ground floor of the building, the 20th floor was mercifully quiet, for the most part. Joseph's room, however, was filled with the sound of grunting.

Pushups, situps, squats, he went through the whole routine. PT was a time honored tradition of the military, it promoted fitness, self-discipline and sharpened the mind. Or so the drill sergeant had told him; he was pretty sure his superior officers just used the time to bully fresh recruits. He usually did his training in the morning, but who really knew what time was morning in the city that never slept? With one last grunt of exhertion Joseph finished his last pushup and rolled over onto his back, breathing hard.

As he calmed his breathing the quietness of the room returned. If he strained his senses hard enough he'd be able to hear a little of the music bubbling up from the ground floor, though he didn't feel the need to do so. On any other day Joseph would have loved to go down and mingle with the rest, have some alcohol and relax a little. But not tonight. There was a meeting tonight, and that meant there would be a mission soon. He needed to keep his mind clear and his senses sharp. For example, the feeling in his stomach told him that he was hungry, and the acrid stench stinging his nose told him that he was smelly and covered in sweat. Joseph chuckled quietly to himself before getting onto his feet and going towards the showers.

One quick wash and change later he was back in his usual clothes, a worn green polo and camouflaged cargo pants. Old habits died hard, after all. He sauntered over to the kitchen to grab a snack, opening a random drawer and picking out a packet of savoury biscuits. As he munched them down he briefly wondered what the rest of the crew was up to. They weren't the most sociable bunch by any means and some of the members were quite standoffish, but they were mostly good people. That made it harder, in a way. Death was the sword of damocles that hung over all conflicts, and Joseph, with his many years of military service, couldn't help feeling its shadow today. But he quickly shrugged it off. Things were heating up between the gangs but they probably wouldn't get that violent so soon. After all, didn't everyone just want to stay alive?

Joseph slowly realised his vision had multiplied. With a frown of annoyance he closed his eyes, the 2 on his face, the 1 on his forhead, the myriad others that dotted his body as well. It was easy for him to forget about his many eyes once his mind wandered. He opened his 2 eyes once again and chucked the used wrapper into the bin. Pre-battle blues were inevitable for an old hand like him but there was no need to worry so much. No matter what came ahead he was about as prepared as he would ever be.
Mikael turned and stared at the youth that had called out to him. His first impression - green. Green skin, green glasses, a green jacket too. The youth was a meta-human, then. He had seen many before, but he had never interacted very closely with one. With that in mind, he wondered what this green stranger really wanted with him.

Mikael quietly regarded the flowery chair that had sprung up from the ground with surprise. The other party seemed to be able to command plants... an interesting ability. Was it magic? Or was it the unique physioligy of meta-humans that allowed him to do this? His eyes unfocused slightly as he thought through a response to the green youth's questions.

Was Mikael lost? He supposed he was true to some degree. He had a destination and he didn't know how to get there. But he was perfectly willing to find out how, so he didn't really need directions. The boy mulled it over a moment longer before a promising idea floated to the top of his head. Could the green meta-human in front of him be a groundskeeper?

He refocused and studied the teenager before him once more. The green youth was quite tall (admittedly, compared to Mikael, most people were quite tall) and he looked young, but he was most definitely linked to plants in some way. Maybe plant-based meta-humans aged slower than normal people. The youth could be older than he looked, and he could also have just been hired by the academy to take care of the garden. After all, who better to take care of the garden than someone who could control plants.

Mikael nodded to himself in satisfaction. It explained the teenager's reaction to his presence, as it was entirely possible that he thought the boy had mischief in mind. It had been a reprimand of sorts for him being near the garden bed nearby. All Mikael had to do was assure him that nothing would happen to the flowers. To this end, he hopped off the lawn onto the nearby footpath.
"I'm sorry Mr. Groundskeeper, I'll be more careful next time." Mikael said, breaking his long silence.
He started walking in the same direction he had been travelling towards before he was stopped.

Mikael sat down on the grass with a weary sigh. The day had barely begun and he was already feeling tired, his energy worn down by the seemingly endless sea of legs and feet he had found himself in. Being overwhelmed vertically was nothing new to him, but the sheer amount of people had really thrown the boy for a loop. As soon as he'd picked up his enrollment packet he'd been swept away by the tide. Fortunately, Mikael had managed to find a relatively quite corner of the campus to inspect the what he had received.

He carefully eased open the top of the envelope and extracted the contents. Mikael pulled them out one by one. Some letters, his schedules, and various other knick knacks, he gave them a brief glance before putting them into his backpack. He would look at them in detail later. Soon enough he found what he was looking for - a map. Just the thing for an inquisitive boy's needs.

Mikael got up to look around. It was hard to tell from his low vantage point, but judging by the landmarks he seemed to be in the gardens. Which, he supposed, would explain the grass he was standing on. Logically speaking he should start going towards the classrooms to see where his classes would be, it would save him some trouble tomorrow. But all the other freshmen would probably be doing that, and there ould be probably be many not-so-freshmen as well. He'd already had his fill of people and he was rather hesitant about braving the human tide again.

He paused to think a moment before coming to a decision. He would have to get familiar with the whole school eventually so it didn't really matter if he went to the classrooms now or later. And since he didn't know his way around anyway, from a certain perspective it didn't really matter where he went at all. So Mikael simply went. He picked a direction and started walking. Whether it would be to adventure or misfortune, he could only wait and see.
Alright, here's my sheet. Feel free to tell me if something needs to be changed.

I'm interested too, cause I'm a big weeb. I'll see if I can get a CS up sooner or later. Oh right, are guns used in this setting at all? I'm guessing not but I want to make sure.
Dylan frowned as Darcy simply went right back to work. Something had affected her, badly, and she had just ignored it and carried on. There was no reasoning with her when she was like this. Opportunities like this were rare and there didn't seem to be any physical wrongness with her, but he still didn't like it.
"If it happens again I'm going to drag you out of here." Dylan muttered as he picked the cameras up.
No choice but to venture further into the abyss... He just had to hope that nothing else would happen to the group today.
