May the Grass Grow Long [IC]

OOC thread.

St. Cecilia's School for Girls is located in the suburbs just outside of the city of Versino, located on the Isle of Voices just off the northern coast of the Blessed Isle. A prestigous private school with equally prestigous fees, it is mostly attended by the children of the wealthy and influential, with a few exceptions attending on scholarship. The campus itself was formerly a sprawling monastery run by nuns of the immaculate faith, the hourglass and sunburst iconography still evident in the stately architecture. A few more modern buildings have been built to hold classrooms, domitories and workshops, but the prestige of the campus has demanded they be built to match the style of the existing architecture, at least on the outside.

Morning classes are still in session, but the students are already the eyeing the clocks. The lunch bell is only ten minutes away.

--------------------------------------------------------------

ABBY

You're bored. It is IT. Not even Computer Science, IT. As in, how to use microsoft office.

The clock appears to be going backwards, and you're fairly certain that agents of the Infernals powers that secretly own the world are directly responsible for this.

Even the teacher appears to be bored, waiting for the rest of the class to finish their assignments. You finished in the first five minutes, of course, and have been stuck here ever since.

--------------------------------------------------------------

DAPHNE

You're bored. Or you would be, if you didn't have chemistry lab before lunch. It is scientifically impossible to be bored in Mr. Torgue's chemistry classes, mostly due to the CONTINOUS EXPLOSIONS and the EXCESSIVE VOLUME AT WHICH HE SPEAKS. He has had to tone it down a little bit recently, after he BLEW UP THE SWIMMING POOL with a CHUNK OF POTASSIUM.

"And now that you've mixed the CARBON DISULFIDE with the NITROUS OXIDE, you're GONNA SHOVE A MATCH IN THERE! AW YEAH, just like I SHOWED YOU EARLIER! Remember to - JEN, GET YOUR F***ING SAFETY GOGGLES BACK ON RIGHT NOW - use the LONGA** MATCHES, otherwise you'll BURN YOUR F***ING EYEBROWS OFF! WHICH IS BADASS, but will get the PTA B****ING AT ME! AGAIN!"

NIALL

You were meeting up for burgers with the Doctor when you got a phonecall. It was your mother.

Apparently Cassidy got herself in trouble, some sort of fight. They're all out of the country at the moment, so they sent you to pick her up - and talk to her teachers you're guessing - which is why you're sitting here in the waiting room outside the headmistress' office, your sister shrinking into the chair beside you. She hasn't said a word since you got here, but the black eye is starting to show.

The spider-doc is waiting in the car outside. You're not yet sure if that was a good idea.

--------------------------------------------------------------

NATE

You were meeting up for burgers with Niall when he got a call. His sister needing to be picked up from school.

Which is why you're sitting the car, waiting for him. Them. This school is very fancy. Big, cast iron fence around it, fancy gates and enough expertly landscaped greens between the school and the gates that you're pretty sure you should be referring to them as something more pretentious.

This is it. Time and place. You've done your scouting and found a good vantage point a few hours before it's supposed to go down, whatever it is that's supposed to go down, but you've yet to see any sign of anything unusual.

[JonRG]

Niall eyes the clock as it ticks along. It's boring him to tears, but better that than the poster advertising missions for the Church of the Immaculate Faith. This place made his skin crawl like never before, ever since he'd learned the truth about the Church... and everything else. With a deep breath, he turns to Cassidy with a warm smile. "S'okay, Cassie," Niall says, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. "Whatever goes down, we're gonna get through it, okay?" With his other hand, he gingerly traces her black eye. "So can ya tell me what happened?"

[Obscurejones]

Dr. Adam Essex
As he waits Essex drums his hands on the dashboard, idly wishing that he'd asked to keep the keys. Could have at least listened to the radio. Although it's debatable if Niall's car's sound system would even make it worth his while. He mutters under his breath, arguing with himself softly, his voice lilting back and forth between casual and jovial, and an almost aggressive interrogatory tone.
"Bored. Bored bored bored. I could be working right now. Or at least flirting with Silverman. Do I absolutely need to be waiting on this reporter? He's on family business for Lucien's sake."
He nods to himself, the answer clear. Niall's one of the few people he still talks to. It may mean the occasional banal waiting, but its worth it. Keeps him from bugging out. Getting too stir crazy or falling too far down the pit of self. With a heavy sigh he perks his ears, straining to see if he can hear any music wafting from the school. Nice place like this probably had a doozy of an orchestra or choir. Stomach grumbling his wrinkles his nose, curious what the staff are feeding the little rugrats today.

Seras Liberatus

Seras stands perched above the school in an apartment building that is across the street from it. Entry had been easy enough, all she had to do was say she was meeting someone in one of the apartments and the front desk allowed her to pass by. Of course they had no reason to stop her, she was just a normal everyday person, why would they have any reason not to believe her. How could anyone guess the woman who they were talking to was a god-killing assassin blessed with powers beyond humanken, after all the godcannon she packed was safely in the Elsewhere, out of the view of mortal eyes.

However now that she was on the roof, her godcannon was out in full view as she watched through her scope for any suspicious activity which would signal Infernal involvement. The weapon really was a beauty, a four foot long orichalcum-encased Angel of Death, supported by a bipod which had the appearance of two wings of a dove. The pinnacle of annihilation on the mortal plane, it was hers and she loved it, as well as the freezing touch of it's cold metal as she viewed the entire scene. The time SK had listed was coming soon, and with any luck an Infernal was about to join his Yozi masters.

[Kell_tamer]

Information Technology. It's a funny phrase given how much information is just placed up on the net with not a care in the world. Behind glasses that were more for show, eyes darted left and right along a screen. Larissa was unaware that her boyfriend currently was having a correspondance with one of the other girls in the class. Melissa was posting facebook selfies. Janice.... wasn't sure how to save a file, ok some people needed this class. Hacking students though was boring. It was honestly easy and childs play.

Hands flying over the tablet PC in front of her, Abby made her way into the schools system. Again child's play but maybe she could find something interesting. Gestures and sweeps across the screen led her further in, clacks on the little fold up keybaord downloaded information. It was time to see what the Security Camera show had to display.

Private school... feh, such a lie.

Normally, Daphne found science to be entirely boring. And yet, Mr. Torgue's force of personality rivaled her own, so there was never a dull moment. She pulled her hair back into a loose ponytail, her antennae twitching in irritation. It wasn't the best look, but it was better than being on fire. Of course, she very much doubted that anyone cared. It was possible that because of this simple gesture, the entire school would have loose ponytails by tomorrow.

She wasn't entirely interested, but knew that she needed to get things done. So she did as Mr. Torgue said, careful in holding her match over the glass tube until-

She yelped in surprise at the fire and sound. Even knowing it was coming did little to diminish the shock.

[Tome]

ABBY

Almost predictably it only takes you a few moments to get access to the school's CCTV system - apparently that one guard is still using '1234' as her password.

What would you like to look for?

--------------------------------------------------------------

DAPHNE

"AWWWWWWWWWWESOME!" Mr. Torgue cheers as the classroom is filled with barking explosions and the smell of sulphur. "Now Everyone has to FINISH MAKING THEIR NOTES AND STICK THE TUBES IN THE WASH RACK! WE'LL BE REVIEWING THIS EXPERIMENT IN CLASS TOMORROW! In the meantime, START SHOVING THE REST OF THIS STUFF BACK WHERE YOU GOT IT SO WE CAN ALL GO TO LUNCH! IT'S CHICKEN TODAY! I LOVE CHICKEN!".

--------------------------------------------------------------

NATE

No choir practice at the moment, but you can smell lunch being prepared. Smells like... chicken? Roast chicken and veg, with plenty of gravy. That's not a school lunch, that's a proper meal. They get actual meals here? Lucky brats.

Though you do smell something else... is that gunpowder? No, gunpowder hasn't been used in over a century you remember. Which would make that whatever they use as propellant nowadays - some sort of mix as you recall. It's not too alarming on it's own, you saw a few armed security guards at the gate. No, what's absolutely terrifying is just how much of it you can smell. Those guards only had sidearms. And you're pretty sure that's not the only explosive you can detect... though admittedly you may be being thrown off by the chemistry labs.

Either way, you can smell it coming from the other side of the carpack. You look, and notice a plain white van parked there.

--------------------------------------------------------------

NIALL

She shrinks away from your touch for one painful moment, before wrapping her arms around you and burying her face in your shirt. She sniffles a little, and you can tell she's trying not to start crying.

"There was a fight" she murmurs quietly, hiding her face, "Louise was, was saying that you'd gone crazy, and that mum and dad had shipped you off to an asylum and... I, I just got so mad...".

--------------------------------------------------------------

SERAS

You can't really make out anything unusual yet, you are here a few hours early after all.

[ChaosArchon]

Seras continues to wait for the time to arrive and in the meantime humming,"Here comes the sun, do do dottle, here comes the sun and I say."

She continues check through her scope to see if anything out of the ordinary happens at the school. She makes sure to keep track of the direction the wind is flowing and constantly adjusts her scope to ensure it is at the most optimal magnification possible, when her Akuma mark shows up, she wants to make sure he doesn't leave. Ever. Again.

"Well, ****. That's not good."
With a smoothness of motion that belies his mortal frame Essex slithers from the car, out in a jiff and closing the distance to the van. As he walks his fists clinch and unclinch. No time to make the change, out in the open, not a good idea, too many people, too many people. Web the van, cover it completely, make sure there's not way for the explosion to escape. It's strong it'll hold in the... Humans. Loss of life?
"The needs of the one, Jim. Now put your game face on, Kid."
The good doctor readies himself to monster up and then pauses. Frowns. The smell... Dissipates.
"**** **** **** a duck."
Digging into his pocket he pulls out a cheap burner pre paid phone and hits one of only two buttons on the screen.
"Pick up pick up pick up.... C'mon I'm trying to save your sister's life. Do the right thing and ignore her for a second."
As he walks he tries to follow the wisps of a scent following them from the source to their destination.

Niall frowns a bit. Damn it. This was his fault, in a way. People talked. They always talked. Blame wouldn't do anyone any good now. He holds his sister close. "Hey, hey. I'm a big boy, yanno. Won't lose any sleep knowin' some bitch is talkin' bad about me. Remember, Cassie. People like her can't stand good, honest folk, and they'll try to cut ya down anyway they can. If you're gonna make it as a journalist, you're gonna have to learn to let stuff go, okay?" Niall grins a bit wickedly. "D'ya think Louise'll worry now that I've escaped?" he asks.

Suddenly, his phone rang. Niall Tierney, slave to a diabolic conspiracy and friend of Adam Essex, currently had two cell phones in his possession. The Althing had the number for one, but luckily, it was the other ringing right now. Doc must have gotten bored. He squirms awkwardly and pulls the burner from his pants pocket without disturbing his sister. "Just a sec, Cass. Y'ello?"

[Kell_tamer]

Abby cycles through the monitors. Ms Tewinter and Mr Caleb snogging in the abandoned teachers lounge, a couple girls running through the halls. It was starting to look somewhat boring. Abby cycled the cameras through, setting feeds to download and peruse later for her database. She lingered a bit as the camera caught Daphne in the science lab. She subconsiouscly gripped the hair behind her neck in an imitation ponytail before looking to see what else there was.

Her hand unclinched and she continued the cycle... boring, boring, boring. Something interesting HAD to be happening here.

Essex moves to hang up and then snaps his arm back up to fire off a parting shot.
"Also, way to answer. It's nice to know you listen. Alright, I'm getting all mushy. See you in a few in the rubble. I'm going to try to find the actual firework."

[Tome]

NATE You can't hide from me.

Tracking such a distinctive scent is pretty effortless to you. The scent trails lead away from the van and quickly split. There's... a lot of different trails, and probably a lot of different bombs making them. Most of the school buildings buildings have multiple trails leading to them.

----------------------------------------------------

ABBY

Headmistress talking with some older girl and her mum, another girl with a lovely little black eye sobbing into her dad's shirt in the waiting room, some strange guy loitering about the carpark whilst yammering on his phone... hold on a minute.

You flick back a screen. You could swear you've seen that suitcase propped against the gym wall before. In fact, you know you have. You cycle the camera feeds. There, the same suitcase left in the hall outside the chemistry lab. And another in the cafeteria. They're everywhere, now that you're looking. Including one right outside the classroom you're in.

Whilst you check for the suitcases something else also catches your eye. Campus security is out in force... and it's strange because as far as you're aware most of the guards here are women, but you're seeing a pretty even split right now.

[Kell_tamer]

Abby's hands move like lightning. In mere moments every computer in the school has images of the suitcases pop up on them. Her system transitioning from proxy to proxy to throw off any backtracing attempt. The Mobile's of every teacher and real faculty member goes off. A text to each, mentioning a bomb threat. The message is sent anonymously.

The security office receives a message with each room containing a case. The image of "security" sent through. They had enough monitors. it could be properly forced to attention.

The yellow smiley face above the grid of flags and numbers puts on a pair of shades.

Niall's eyes widen in horror. "Thanks. I'll see ya." He hangs up, then pulls his sister to her feet. "C'mon. Let's getcha some air." He strides confidently from the office, ignoring anyone that attempts to stop him. Niall wanders a deserted hallway, mind racing. "Damn it, Adam. Tryin' to save all the kids here." He sees a little red box on the wall. Fire alarm. "Bingo." Niall grabs his sister lightly by the shoulders. "I wantcha to remember, your brother's not crazy. Okay? Can ya do that for me?" She nods weakly. "Good. Now run!" He breaks the glass and pulls the alarm.

Then he runs for the door, obviously. Didn't want to cut into the drama.

[josienoms]

Daphne goes about gathering her things and heading off to lunch! Not being the smartest or most perceptive girl, nothing seemed out of the ordinary for her. Not until the fire alarm goes off. She keeps calm, and starts to lead the other girls out of the school in an orderly fashion.

"Walk, don't run! Stay calm, we'll all be okay. It's probably just a fire drill." She turns on the charm, smiling widely and displaying her perfect white teeth.

[Obscurejones]

Dr. Adam Essex
When the alarm goes off Adam winces,but can't help but smile. Bleeding heart on Niall. But a clever one. That should work if they're on timers. If they're on detonators... Well A+ for effort. He makes a bee line for the nearest scent trail. Maybe he can get his hands on one of the explosives. Always good to have some evidence after the carnage.

[Tome]

ABBY

You watch through the security feeds as everyone's eyes turn to their phones and monitors, comprehension dawning.

And then fire alarm goes off.

And then six heavily armed figures emerge from the security room - incidentally one of the few places in the school where there are no cameras whatsoever. They bark orders into their radios and every guard you can see on camera draws their gun. Most of them head towards the nearest classrooms. You can see them brandishing weapons, herding the students back inside.

Inside the IT labs there's that additional moment of confusion before people react to the fire alarm - everyone could see the images you put on screen after all. This just means that a pair of would be-guards kick down the doors instead. Brandishing their sidearms they yell "Down on the ground now!".

--------------------------------------------------------------

DAPHNE

You step through to door... and find yourself looking down the barrel of a gun. It's held in the hand of someone wearing the uniform of school security guards. She's looking... rather annoyed.

"Back in the classroom brats" she growls in thickly accented meruvian. "Nobody gets any clever ideas, and nobody gets hurt".

--------------------------------------------------------------

NATE I see your real face

The nearest one is in the admin building, where Niall went. You see three men in combat gear burst out of the doors as you approach.

--------------------------------------------------------------

NIALL

Cassidy nods and turns to run with you close behind, only to freeze as she turns the corner. Your hear someone shout "Freeze bitch!" in some foreign accent and her hands shoot into the air. Coming to a halt just behind her, you see two men wearing combat vests and levelling assault rifles around the corner, with four more running the other way down the corridor.

--------------------------------------------------------------

SERAS

You hear the fire alarms going off in the distance, and down your scope you see people in guard uniforms brandishing weapons and quickly moving into place. Their movements look military to your eye.

You also hear vehicles below you, two nondescript white vans speeding towards the school gates that swing wide to let them past.

[Kell_tamer]

Abby's hands move quickly. Her cellphone is open and the solar essence invisibly bolsters it to the power of a supercomputer. Generating a feed from her tablet over to her cell phone she has it take over the processes she put in place. Thumb flies across the touch screen as she activates apps and programs to handle the situation. In moments faces and dossiers of those who don't belong at the school are sent to law enforcement. Images of them at the school are sent out to any cop nearby.

As she gets down on the ground to leave for the fire alarm her hand swipes the phone turning the signal sniffer on. Hiding a signal would stop mere mortals, but Abby was capable of finding signals that are completely invisible with her skill. All things digital posses a signal. All things digital can be found.

Essence binds her equipment to the closed network. He skill breaks right through. She would have control and she block it from them.

Meanwhile on the other side of town, an office of one Sgt Patrick Carter, recieves a picture of message, "Patrick, our games shall go on hold. Someone outside is causing trouble. Consider this a friendly warning. -OI"- Attached are pictures of briefcases and dossiers.

At the same time a chirp occurs on Seras' phone "An issue requires your attention. -OI-"

Seras is momentarily revolted, "How dare they! How dare those Infernal bastards not only use children as human shields, but brandish weapons at them and put them into a situation which will scar them for life!" she grits her teeth and begins to breathe in and out, "Calm Seras, breathe and focus. These men are now dead, with my will I destroy them, and erase their lights from this world."

Seras then aims her godcannon at where she believes the engine block would be in one of the white vans. She then aims in such a way that the bullet will pierce the first engine block and then ricochet into the second engine block, making sure her shot has the potential to eliminate the most Infernal scum or their lackeys as possible. She was a Chosen of the Sun, and in the name of Sol Invictus their lives were now her's to take.

As she pulls the trigger of her godcannon, her sniper rifle unleashes a bullet spiraling in elegant devastation towards the van. Before the gun even makes a sound and Seras has readied her next shot, the blessed bolt of annihilation pierces the engine block and speeds towards the second, stopping both cars dead in their tracks as well as potentially igniting the gas stored within...

Niall bites back a curse. Damn it. They had almost being out of there! Instead, some UES tools were holding his little sister at gunpoint. Much as he'd like to blow their heads off, that would probably only serve to get Cassie killed. She... she was the only thing in his life that hadn't gone to hell. He had to protect her, even if that mean bowing to mere mortals. That assumed, of course, that they were mortals. Niall raises his hands and does his best to look like a terrified bystander.

The messages are sent and the two men force everyone to the ground. You can hear some of the other girls crying before one of them puts a warning shot into the floor and yells at them to shut up. There's screams and they quickly go quiet - there's still crying, they're just trying their best not to make any noise.

One of the men stays by the door, watching the room as the other moves among the class, checking each of their hostages.

NIALL You know, I bet you could fix all this with just one little phone call...

The two men exchange gestures - military hand signals, but you can read them easily enough. One of them keeps his gun levelled at the two of you, whilst the other circles around behind you. "Hands on heads meruvian dogs" he growls as his partner moves to the side. The press of a gun barrel into your back makes it clear that you should be moving.

While the guard is moving around she repalms her phone for a mere moment. essence continues to flow but fails to betray as she quickly mutes her reciever and sends a speakerphone call to her father. the phone is slipped into her backpack into the mesh to prevent the noise from being muffled. With her dad on speed dial and the new information, he was bound to pick up.

Once the phone is doing its work as a makeshift wire, she looks up. Her dominant hand is nearby the collapsible stun baton she carries. Just in case.

Ideally without bathing his little sister in terrorist blood.
