Re: Port Vega: The Academy of the Extraordinarily Gifted (Gen, Roddy, Akira, NPC Donny, open)

"Oh!? Uhm, hi!" Gen replied, momentarily overwhelmed by the sudden influx of students into the hallway that had been completely empty before.? So many of them.? And so different from each other.? He noticed the hand Akira was extending to him, then took it.? "I'm... Gen.? And yes, I'm new here.? I'm kinda new everywhere, actually."
?
The androgyne looked around uncertainly as the students in the hall all seemed to be heading somewhere with purpose.? Not the same somewhere apparently, judging by the way they were going in different directions.? But still somewhere.? He looked back to Akira.? "Where is everyone going?? I... I don't really know where I'm supposed to be."? He realized that he was still holding on to the boy's hand.? It felt nice and warm and reassuring, but he forced himself to let it go.? "Is there anyone I can ask?? Or can I just go with you?? Maybe?"
(Akira) Akira gave Gen a smile as they released their hands from each other. Something about the lad made Akira tingle. "We are all heading to our next classes. Who brought you in to the Academy? Usually new students are taken to the office for in processing. Maybe we should start there, come along." He offered to help Gen out. "Have you had breakfast this morning?"
?
(Roddy)
"Yeah," Roddy said, accepting the offered bottle with a nod.? "I think that was her name."? He followed the other boy's example and found a spot on the ground near the same logs.? "I take it she runs the place?? Seems nice enough.? I wasn't sure what to expect." He glanced around at the surrounding school grounds.? "I was half-expecting bars and guards and stun-sticks. But this place is more like some high school or college.? One for the upper class, even."? He looked back to Donny.? "And everyone here's a... mutant?" He said the word carefully, remembering his correction from Misty about using the word "mutie".? "What's your schtick, then?"
(Donny) "Misty, in charge, Gawd no. She is more the welcome wagon. Mia and Del are the ones in charge so to speak. They actually built the place and wanted it to be a safe haven for mutants. Not everyone is a mutant...some of the teachers aren't. Yes, we have teachers because we are to get an education as well as learn to hone our abilities." He paused as he took a long drink of his water. "Mine, strength. I am able to lift just about anything and I can track through vibrations in the ground. What about you?"
