W.O.O.H.P Spy Training School: The Sequel - Starts

[~Genki Katchum~]

Ugh.. I've been having RPG withdrawls too >_<() I seriously think it's what cause me to become sick (it started shortly after I found the site down...). Hopefully this post will help cure me! ^_^

~Genki~

The white-haired guy glanced at Genki, then went back to a glass of wine he was drinking. This caught Genki's eye (and nose) and as soon as the glass was laid back on the table, Genki swiped it. "Oh man, you don't mind if I have a sip, do ya?" Genki quickly asked while swirling the wine around in the glass. The white-haired guy opened his mouth to reply, but Genki cut him off, "Thanks!" Genki took a swig from the glass. Genki's face was placid. Suddenly, his face winced from the bite of the alcohol and he gave out a loud sigh, "Woah! Oh man, that's some good stuff! Whoo!"

Genki slammed the glass back down and slid it back to his silent tablemate. "Hey, thanks man. That is some GOOD stuff! That'll get ya tipsy in a second!" His new drinking buddy looked at him slightly agitated. Suddenly, they heard an announcement about a guy named Jerry not showing up. This made Genki's new table buddy give an even more agitated look.

"Who's this Jerry guy?" Genki asked. The white-haired mystery man didn't even look at him. He simply stood up and headed over to what looked to be a sign-in line. "Ah! THAT'S where it is! Good thinkin'!" Genki hopped up from his chair and followed the white-haired fellow to the sign-in line.

Craven ~ filling up FORM~

Craven lifted up her left eyebrow as she looked down at the form. It seemed to have some rather unnecessary- I mean, not many people remember their parents' income tax number, do they? She smirked. Thank goodness for a photographic memory.

Of course there were the bad parts – like the occasional headaches she got from retaining too much information – it was hard to never forget anything. Wistfully, she pondered about what life would be like without a perfect memory.

She was bored. Looking down at the form, there was a little box beside her printed name where they were supposed to stick some passport sized photo. Craven didn’t have one just yet, so she decided to just sketch herself in.

It took her less than five minutes, and it was a perfect likeness – of course it would be. She had seen her face in the mirror millions of times. Ok, maybe a million would be an exaggeration, more like…she frowned, remembering and tallying up the score…eleven thousand seven hundred and eighty five times in her entire life. Drawing anything she had seen was easy, she could do it down to the tiniest detail… creating anything? Well that was a totally different thing. It was true. She did lack creativity as she had not much cause for it.

“Heeeeeeeeey, nice drawing! Looks just like you!” Zak’s voice piped beside her.

“Haha, it isn’t too bad,” she replied, shrugging. Looking up, she saw Genki had gone to disturb another person, but this time it was Mr-I’m-too-cool-for-everyone. The dude with the silver white hair.

She rolled her eyes and watched, wanting to see the cold dude’s reaction.

Valentine
------------------------------
Valentine was mentally wishing that this guy would just leave him alone. He takes his wine and now he's following him.

There really wasn't much of a line, so all he had to do was walk up to the table and sign his name on the form. He quietly went back to his seat as Genki signed his name. He only got a few seconds of peace before he came back over to him.

"So, what's your name?" he asked, sitting next to him.

Valentine looked at him for a moment before answering.

"My name is Valentine," he answered emotionlessly. Althuogh Valentine wasn't really his name, he really had nothing else to call himself.

"Valentine huh? Odd name," he extanded a hand to him, "The name's Genki."

Valentine just stared at his hand for a moment, before he withdrew it.

"So, tell me about yourself."

Revealing secrets about himself was not an option for Valentine. He had to keep his past and details confidential.

"My name is Valentine and I'm seventeen years old. That's all you need to know."

Surround by people he felt safe around, Zak hung over Craven’s shoulder, watching her sketch in herself perfectly. His eyes widen in awe when she sighed, as if it wasn’t what she had wanted. He then looked down at his own form; everything was filled out, even his original school. He frowned when he saw its name, but quickly smiled and looked up when someone, namely Rox was ruffling his hair.

“Done?” She question, Zak grinned.

“Hai.” He answered quickly.

“Good.” Rox took it from him. He smiled; he wasn’t the best at organization, so it was better that they took it from him, he was most likely to loose it.

“You came from another school?” Craven questioned, as she had caught a glance of his sheet. Zak nodded. “Which one?”

“Ukatousen.” Zak answered, pulling from his pocket, a small chain and gold amulet that stood for the school. It looked like a golden ninja star with a silver Chinese dragon spiralling in the middle.

“Oooh pretty.” Craven commented, causing little Zak to smile proudly.

“The school is even more beautiful then the amulet.” Hawk sheepishly answered.

“Why the switch then?” Asked the new girl who Zak didn’t know all that well. Zak tugged on his shirt again, beginning to blush and bit his lip, he shrugged. He didn’t want to answer so many questions about his old school. In fact he‘d rather not answer any at all.

“Um... I dunno...” Zak gulped, hoping that was a good enough answer.

“Oh, ok.” The girl shrugged. Alex, he believed her name was. “Personal?”

“Hai... Gomenasai...” Zak murmured, really starting to feel nervous, but only because he hated being the center of attention, though his childish attitude did not help the situation. It also didn’t help that he was the only guy in his group of friends, making him feel sort of out of place, but as the other guys of this place have proved to be either irritating, rude, or just down right silent and boring. “So, when do we actually get to the school?” Zak questioned, suddenly acting all out-going again.

[ChobiChibi]

~Rox~
"So, when do we actually get to the school?" Zak asked, perking up from what must have been an uncomfortable topic.
"We should be arriving at about half 4..." Said Alex.
"In the morning." I finished, seeing Zak's look of horror as he must have thought she meant the afternoon.
"It's 4 now." Craven stated, looking at her watch. She glanced in the direction of the door. "Maybe we should get our stuff together?"
I quickly shuffled through the papers, we had everybody that was meant to be here. "We're done now, aren't we Alex?" I asked, getting up suddenly and placing all the forms in an envolope.
"Yes... Why?" She asked, a confused look on her face.
"Follow me!" Zak and Craven looked confused. "Yes, you two aswell. You have to see this."
I ran out of the lounge, along the corridor and up two flights of stairs, the others following me. I stopped suddenly infront of a set of double doors causing Zak to nearly crash into me. "Behind these doors will be your first glance at woohp. The first is always the best. Are you guys ready for the best adventures of your lives?" I said, trying to create an atmosphere. Alex smirked from behind them as they nodded. It was one of those looks that i understood to be 'stop being so corny'.
I opened the door, motioning for them to go through. After they had, i ran past them to the bow and leaned on the railings. The sea crashed against the shore. I shuddered as my eyes followed the cliff upwards. The drop looked even longer than it had when I had had to climb down it... I reached the top, i scanned along the dense forest and towards the suburbs. I grinned and pointed. "That's our house." I couldn't wait to get back. I had missed it. My hand followed my eyes toward Woohp's main building. "That's it..." I whispered.
Zak stood on the bottom rail and leaned over. "Wow, that place is pretty big..."
I watched the second hand on my watch tick. "Hold on... Hold on... Here we go!"
The sun peered over the horizon, lighting up the sky and casting a shadow from the trees onto the land below. I sighed with happiness. It had been a year since i'd last seen this when i was just starting school.
"Lets hope this year will be better than the last..." I whispered for Alex to hear.
"Yeah... For their sake..." She motioned to Zak and Craven who were talking to eachother. "And for everybody else's."

[MascaraTears]

Alex

I got a strange feeling walking into the W.O.O.H.P building again. The boat had docked not long ago and me and Rox had lead the group up here. I had spent hours expecting this, and yet it still felt so strange to step into the large and empty atrium and guide the new recruits to the room in which Jerry would give them a speech. Odds are it would be short, but Jerry was not the type to leave out warnings and to comment on what he could detect of people's personalities. I supposed that he'd mention the true meaning of being a spy, and the fact that life still goes on even though we are training here, rather than learning, and that, therefore, our lives should not stop or delay. Then again, I may have been wrong, but I had heard many of Jerry's speeches before and I had could the jist of his manner by now.

I walked over to Rox and half watched everyone enter the rather small room. She smiled at me and I sighed. "Feels good to be home."

"Sure does," she grinned, "I wonder if anything here has changed."

"I doubt it."

I turned and smiled at her then turned back to watching everyone file into the room. Just watching the way the people walked and how the stood - in groups or alone - let me know that this would be a very interesting year.

If only Jerry would hurry up and arrive.

[eevee-shayna]

Sam an I had spent the time on the boat in our room, just enjoying each other’s company and rock little Kio to sleep in his bundle of blankets. When the boat docked, everyone filed out onto the dock and towards the main WOOHP building.

I held Kio and Sam held doors open for me. Our bags would be taken care of by WOOHP employees, as always.

When we stepped into the building, Serena was there to greet us. With a great smile, Sam’s sister hugged us both, and took her nephew from my arms.

“He’s gotten so big,” she couldn’t help but chuckle. Kio cooed beneath his blankets, and shifted into his aunt’s arms.

“Go and do what you have to do,” Serena said, “I’m holding on to this cute little guy for awhile.”

Us for originals grouped together.

“Jerry still hasn’t showed?” I said.

“Don’t know what’s up with him. First missing his boat speech, and now he’s not here,” Rox said.

“Should we wait for him?” Alex asked.

I looked around. This new bunch was full of energy and didn’t seem like they would appreciate more waiting.

“Lets introduce ourselves and the school, and Jerry will come when he comes,” I said.

We stood in front of the new WOOHP students and Rox yelled for attention.

“Er, hi,” she said, “We’re going to start without Jerry. We’re last year’s graduates. I’m Roxanne.”

“I’m Alex,” said alex.

“My name is Sam,” said my husband.

“I’m Eevee,” I said.

We looked at each other, and Sam began to talk. “Jerry is our, well, Advisor, I guess. He tells us our assignments and runs this school. But there are other teachers.”

Some of the incoming class whispered excitedly about the mention of assignments.

“Yes, there are assignments, so you should learn to work together well, because that is what will save you,” I said over their voices. “But you can hear stories of our past assignments later. Right now, I want to know who is a transfer here. Because if you’ve been a year in another spy training school, you’re in our classes,” I continued, pointing at the four of us.

[~Genki Katchum~]

Hey, I'm sorry for not posting in so long. This cold thing has just been getting worse (I'm actually taking pescripted medicines for it now >_< ) and has been making me drowzy. That and Kingdom Hearts II <3

~Genki~

The guy Genki had been hanging out with - Valentine - didn't say anything after he introduced himself. Nonetheless, Genki continued to hang around him and talk to him a bit despite his general lack of interest. Since Genki isn't a really gabby person, his monologues were pretty brief. Despite this, however, it still seemed to annoy Valentine. Genki noticed this, but didn't really care. He was a bit amused by it, actually. "Well, he hasn't told me to leave him alone yet anyway," thought Genki.

Eventually, the boat ride had come to an end and they had arrived at the school. Genki headed off the boat with his bag looking at the school. "Ooh. Pretty fancy," he chuckled as he glanced over at Valentine, who didn't dignify him with a response and continued walking. Genki grinned and followed. "Y'know," Genki started as he looked at the surroundings, "for a SPY school, it doesn't really look too... I dunno, hidden..."

They reached the building and went into a room with the other attending students. Attention was called and someone began to greet the students. Genki was quickly getting bored. Suddenly, Genki's ears perked when he heard something about "assignments."

"Ooh! We get to go on missions? This is gonna be fun!"

[Mystic_clown]

Valentine
----------------------------------
He tried his best to ignore him. He figured if he didn't respond to what he had to say, he'd leave and go annoy someone else.

But this Genki wouldn't leave him alone!

He had sat in that main hall, with this guy, waiting for Jerry, only to find that he wasn't coming. Thankfully, Valentine wasn't one to get angry.

If he did, someone would be dead.

Standing with all the other students, the white haired youth listened to the graduate students speech, although this supplied him with no new information. He had been briefed on what to expect when he was sent here.

Upon listenign to their speech, his eyes narrowed. It would seem he'd be in the same class as these people. Not that it should bother him, but it was that couple, more importantly Eevee. The way she spoke to him on the ship. They way she said having 'friends' was a weakness. Why wuold anyone want a friend? What benefit did it offer to them? They were only weaknesses. And a child was even worse. Did these people want to be handicapped?

He silently shook his head. He was going to have a hard time working with these people.

He couldn't even understand them.

[ChobiChibi]

~Rox~
All eyes were on us. The graduates. The only graduates. I got a mixed feeling from the mass of eyes gazing up at us. Some were of pure and utter wonder and awe, trying to decide upon the missions we had done. Others criticized, wondering how the hell this bunch of youths could do such a thing. Others were simply expressionless or bored.
Movement at the back of the hall caught my eye. A small smile appeared on my face as I saw who it was.
"About time too!" I interrupted Eevee. I knew she was confused. I didn't look at her; I continued to focus my vision on the back of the hall. "We thought you weren't going to turn up. What took you so long, Jerry?"
Mumbling and whispers filled the hall, most with excitement. There were some looks of shock. Perhaps they were surprised that I could seem so disrespectful towards "the boss". I had a right to, after all, as he had kept things from me last year. I knew that he knew I was only messing around. Maybe they were shocked by his appearance? I mean, he wasn't the youngest looking man. I guessed he was about sixty, but he'd never tell me that.
Sam, Eevee, Alex and I took a seat to one side of the hall, allowing Jerry to step forward. I felt like I had on my first day; both anxious and excited about what was going to happen. I think I was more excited for everybody else rather than myself and hoping we wouldn’t lose anybody this year...
"Good morning, welcome to W.O.O.H.P Spy Training School. I'm Jerry and I suppose I've now gained the infamous reputation of either not turning up or being extremely late." He glanced in our direction. “I'd like to assure you that this is not normally the case. I’m sure that you’re all anxious to know about what you'll be training in. I shall not bore you with the details now; I'll leave you to find out that for yourselves. Basic classes include disguise training, gadgets, hacking, physical training and general computing skills. As for where you'll be staying, all new recruits, including transfer students, will be using the dormitories. The girls' dormitory is on the fourth floor and the boys' dormitory is on the fifth floor. This will only be for a short period of time, about a month or so, in order for you to make new friends and decide upon whom you wish to share accommodation with on W.O.O.H.P’s campus. This first month will be very important for both you and your teachers to see what your weaknesses are and to improve those skills as well as continue to improve your strengths. Don’t think that just because you are training to be a spy that everything else has to go on hold. Try to have as much fun as possible as those bonds you create with your peers could be the life or death of you." He paused. Everyone in the room remained silent. Already he had gained respect from the students. "That is all. Please make your way to the reception to pick up your dorm numbers; your personal belongings are already there as well as some other equipment provided by the school. The rest of the day is to use at your own leisure. Thank you.”
The noise level in the room built up quickly after Jerry had left in the direction of his office. I stretched before standing up. "That was a little longer than I expected..." I grabbed my bag. "Home time?" I asked before starting off in that direction.
My bag slipped down from my shoulders and I jolted backwards a couple of steps. "We've still got to hang around for a bit to make sure everybody gets up to the dorms." Alex stated.
"But… But I was at the harbour an hour early to make sure everybody knew where to go… I had to go all that way-"
"You live in New York. Your apartment is twenty minutes walk away from the harbour. You can't use that as an excuse." Sam interrupted.
I sighed. "Is there no way I can get out of this?"
"No." They said in unison.
"Fine, fine... To the dorm stairs!"

[Mystic_clown]

Valentine
--------------------------------
Valentine listened to Jerry's speech. He felt some respect for the man standing before him. He was well mannered and he clearly knew the seriousness of the situation. He mentally frowned when he mentioned the dorms. He would have to spend some more time with the people around him, something Valentine did not wish to do.

As the other students made their way to the reception, the white haired youth went in another direction. He silently went in the direction Jerry walked off to. He wanted to make sure Jerry knew all the details regarding himself. They were all sent to him prior his transfer, but Valentine wanted to make sure.

He wanted to make sure that everything was just how they set up. The details regarding his presence here confidential along with such details regarding his being.

He also saw this as a chance to find out anything on his new headmaster. While he was certain it would be difficult, obtaining information about those he would have to come in contact with would come in handy if the need arose.

He quickly looked behind him, making sure noone had seen him walk off. Sure that noone had noticed, he continued after Jerry.

Anyone feel free to follow him, but don't expect to get anything out of him.

[Hyperness is a Good Thing]

~Craven ~ F ~

Hm. Girl dorms and boy dorms, and later they'll get to choose roommates? She doubted that they'll let her room with Zak, so she guessed she'll have to get to know some more girls. Sure, there was Eevee and Roxanne and Alex, but Rox and Alex would probably room with each other, and Eevee..well she'll probably be with Sam or something.

Craven sighed. It wasn't that she didn't like knowing more people, it was just seemed a little tiresome right now. Plus, some people found her kinda freaky, what with her odd hair, weird dark blue eyes, and her scary memory. Somehow, her friends had always drifted away after finding out about her...talent. Also there were those tiresome, jealous people who couldn't stand it that she got perfect results without any apparent effort. They didn't know of all the drawbacks - the occasional headaches that she got from retaining too much information, the confusion that sometimes came over her when she wasn't mentally prepared and she was almost swamped by everything inside her head... Remembering everything she had ever seen and experienced...Sometimes all she wanted was the ability to forget, just a little, to ease her burden.

Shrugging, she walked to the reception area, so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't really look where she was going. She bumped straight into someone else, and she fell down. "Ouch.." she muttered, and looked up to see...

~~
Er Tag anyone else who wants to bump into Craven! ^_^

[Ghost]

Damon Castle
********

This Jerry fellow here seemd to be pretty cool. He told us all that we'd have to go and share a dorm with someone, which I particularly hated. I mean, why couldn't I just be alone? During most spy missions we'd have to be alone anyway, without the help of a partner. But then again, sometimes a partner was helpful...But most of the time, they would just get in the way.

He vaguely remembered a mission where him and a few people had been inserted into a forest in Zaire(now Congo) were they had to infiltrate a village and try to take out a extremist group killing anyone not willing to give up their children to fight in their militia. The mission had been succesful, but if his teammate didnt fire off that round, that child might not of died.

He shook the thought out of his mind, and hurried to pick up his dorm number and personal belongings. He hadn't brought much with him: some casual clothes, two tuxedos, two extra suits, and some other "personal" things. He went over to the reception desk, and got his stuff. Grabbing the briefcase, he turned around and started walking out. Something caught his eye on the roof though.. Something glowing, something...

Suddenly, Damon was knocked down and his briefcase went about 10 meters to his left. Looking over to where he was hit, he saw a girl in his way, also on the ground. she had blonde hair, with some pink in it, with blue eyes...

He quickly stood up, and helped her up. "I'm sorry," He said."It's my fault, I should of payed more attention,"

~~~~

Sorry for shortness, i'm extremly bored.

[ChobiChibi]

~Rox~
I peered out from behind one of the pillars that was supposidly supporting the ceiling, down the corridor to where Jerry's office was. Where did that guy think he was going? He was supposed to be getting his dorm number and key. He needed to be told he was going in the wrong direction. He probably knew that, though, and was after Jerry...
I followed him down the corridor, my feet barely making a sound on the tiled floor. I hid behind another pillar as he stopped at the office door. He knocked and i remained hidden silently. I heard the door click open and Jerry's voice.
"Valentine, isn't it? Do come in."
I waited to hear the door click shut again before looking around the pillar. Something told me that Jerry had almost been expecting him. I walked to the other side of the hallway and stood to one side of the door, back against the wall.
What was i doing? I wouldn't like it if someone was listening into one of my conversations with Jerry. I decided that i'd stay where i was and block out anything i heard. I'd become quite good at that in my childhood.
The door opened again. Luckily for me, i was hidden on the right side of the door that i was hidden from his veiw. The door closed, he had his back to me. I could have just let him leave and snuck back down the corridor...
"The dorms are the other way." I said with a friendly smile on my face.
He jumped a little before turning around and pinning me against the wall by my shoulders.
"What did you hear?" He questioned, obviously trying to hold in his anger. I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out. Despite the fact i was taller than him, i still felt intimidated. "What did you hear??" He yelled. I winced.
"Nothing."
"Are you sure?" His grip tightened slightly on my shoulders.
"Yes. I heard nothing."
"What did you hear?" He repeated.
With one swift movement, our places were changed. I heald him against the wall. "I did not listen. I figured it would be rude. I know i'd hate it if someone over heard one of my conversations with Jerry. I heard nothing. Okay?" I saw pain in his mis-matched eyes as well as anger. I let him go. He brushed himself off. "I'm sorry..."
I began to walk away. I didn't think anything of him following me as there was no other way to go. I hoped that my curiousity would never get me like that again...

Tag MC if he's feeling guilty XP

[Mystic_clown]

Note: I've altered Valentine's height so he's a bit shorter now. Just thought I'd let you now.

Valentine
------------------------------
A small feeling of guilt ran through the white haired teen's mind as he watched Roxanne walk away. He had falsely accused her of spying on him. Although, considering the circumstances, he had every right to do so. He couldn't allow anyone to find out anything about him. Still, he felt guilty.

"Wait," he called out as he walked up to her. Rox stopped and looked back with confusion. Valentine stopped a few feet in front of her.

"I apoligize for my actions before," he said in his normal, monotone voice, giving her a formal bow, "I hope this will not impare out ability to work together in the future."

Rox gave a small laugh, most likely at Valentine's choice of words. This however earned her a confused look from the white haired youth.

It's ok," she replied, placing an arm on his shoulder, making him feel a bit uncomfortable, "Just think a bit before accusing people."

She turned and began walking away, but stopped after a few feet and looked back.

"You know where the dorms are right?" she asked. Valentine nodded and she walked away. He suppressed a sigh as he began walking towards the dorms.

He was going to have to spend more time with these people. While Jerry had told him he'd needed to be treated like everyone else, he dreaded having to be with these people again. These were probably going to be the toughest days of his life.

[Hyperness is a Good Thing]

~ Craven Orske ~ F ~ Currently dazed

"I'm sorry," He said."It's my fault, I should have paid more attention," he said, after helping her back to her feet.

Craven, feeling a little dazed from the bump and the fall, could only gaze at him in a confused manner.

"Say, how old are you?" she asked, asking the first question that had popped into her head. She blinked a few times, and realised how impudent she sounded. She had seen him back in the dining place or something like that. Her perfect memory had probably received a knock, because it wasn’t giving her any answers. He was wearing what looked like a very expensive suit, and he was carrying a briefcase, and had rather odd looking dirty blonde hair. Logic said that he was probably one of the spies, but somehow she wasn’t too sure.

He looked at her as if considering whether to answer her or not, and then replied, “Eighteen.”

She gaped at him. “Gosh, you don’t really look eighteen, what with your dressing and your voice and all…” She trailed off, realising again that she was being rude. She mentally berated herself. Hoping to somehow salvage the situation and not come across as a total uncivilised barbarian, she held out her right hand. “M’name’s Craven Orske, and I tend to talk more than I should, and obviously, sometimes I don't really look where I'm going." She paused and then continued,"What’s your name?”

~~~
Go Raven. =P Take it away, abuse my character if you wish.

[Ghost]

Damon Castle
~~~~~

I brushed off my suit after helping the girl up. She had seemed pretty confused, and then she had asked him, " Say, how old are you?"

Damon considered to tell her. He wasn't sure whether or not to tell her... Everytime he meet someone or made friends with someone, they usually got hurt. After about 10 seconds of thinking, Damon said " Eighteen,"

She looked shocked at how old he had told her he was. It seemed as if she didn't believe him at first... But didn't all spies have to be eighteen to join this place? "Gosh, you don't really look eighteen, what with your dressing and your voice and all..." She trailed off. Damon somewhat agreed with her. He did dress like he was a lot older, and his voice was deep enough for him to be as old as Harrison Ford.. "M'name's Craven Orske, and I tend to talk more than I should, and obviously, sometimes I don't really look where I'm going." She paused and then continued, "What's your name?"

He paused for a minute, looking over to make sure his suitcase was still there, and said, "My name's Damon Castle. It's nice to meet you Craven," He looked down on her, noticing that she was around a foot or so smaller then him. He walked over to his suitcase and walked back over. "Just out of curiosity, how old are you?" He asked.

She looked up and said " I'm 17. Only one year younger then you,huh?"

"Well, I assume that if you know how to do math that would be it," Damon said. He always had liked to be smart to other people. He liked the feeling of being better then everyone else... But he would have to prove that here. Some of the people here had already been here for one year. He would just have to prove to everyone that he was the best here... He took a peek at his Rolex, seeing that there was a crack in it and that he would have to have it fixed. He frowned then hid it under his sleeve.

"So..." He paused."What's up?" Damon was never really good at talking to people.

[~Genki Katchum~]

~Genki~

"Finally," Genki thought when the introduction speech was over, "now to find some food!" The day was proceeding into the afternoon and Genki still hadn't had a bite to eat. He lazily looked around him while holding an arm around his stomach, hoping to find some kind of food. "Do these people never EAT or something?" Genki mumbled to himself as he slid his way to what looked like a reception desk.

"Hello, sir. How may I help you?" The woman behind the counter gave Genki a friendly smile.

Genki remained placid. "Where's the damn food?" He grumbled. The reception lady's smile quickly began to fade, but she maintained her politeness.

"Well I believe there may be some vending machines that way," she cheerfully said as she pointed in a direction behind Genki.

"Do they have food in 'em?" Genki's mind wasn't processing due to the lack of food. After all, Breakfast, which gets the brain moving, is the most important meal of the day -- and Genki missed it.

"Uh.. well yes, sir..."

And with that, without saying a word of thanks, Genki turned around and lazily made his way off in the direction the woman had pointed. Genki made his way out of the building and down a pathway where he came across some vending machines. Genki lit up. It was like his own personal heaven. Genki went over to a machine with a glass covering. Inside were several different types of potato chips, candy bars, and M&M's. "All the basic food groups!" Genki said with tears forming in his eyes. Genki glances at the side of the machine and noticed that the machine required money, as vending machines often do.

"What the feeze?! They expect me to PAY!?" Genki isn't one to have a lot of money on his person. Without even bothering to see if anyone was around, Genki made a hand symbol, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. With quick movements, Genki slammed his hands at the sides of the machine, making sure to avoid hitting the glass. Almost immediately, the glass covering popped out, still in one piece. Genki grabbed the glass and leaned it against a side of the machine. He then opened his bag and began stuffing it full of Flamin' Hot Cheetos, Ranch Doritos and Peanut M&M's.

"Hey!" Said an unknown voice behind Genki. Genki popped a chip in his mouth as he turned around...

Never thought that Rolex watch faces would crack so easily. Rotfl.


Craven Orske ~ Female

She almost burst out laughing when he made the "if you know how to do math that would be it" comment. An attempt at sarcasm. He sounded like one of the priggish nerds back in her old school, those that had always wanted to be better than everyone else. People like that amused Craven, for she loved to see them eating and chewing out their own livers when they saw that she, who slept in class and never listened and seemed to pay very little attention to the lesson, continuously got perfect scores for all her tests and examinations with no effort at all. They always wanted to be the best, and they hated it when she trounced them all with ease.

However, first impressions being what they are, instead of classifying him as an arrogant snob, she decided to give him another chance. He seemed interesting, and anyway, they would probably be classmates, or they might end up doing missions together, so being all hostile and angry wouldn’t really be good for team dynamics, would it?

She was tempted to reply to his question of “What’s up?” with “The ceiling,” or “The sky,” but classified that as too lame, especially since she despised people who did that.

“Welll…” she said, thinking a little, and decided to give him an honest answer, “I came to spy school cos I got bored of normal school, I’ve made friends with an adorable albeit hyperactive kid who turns out to be one year older than me, I’m currently wandering over to the reception area to get a dorm, and I just bumped into a tall dude with weird but interestingly coloured hair –” She stopped, realising that she was rambling and the dude’s eyes were getting rather glazed. “Oh yeah, wanted to ask you, how did you get your hair to be so…odd? Tried to bleach your black hair blonde or the other way around or is that your natural hair colour, as impossible as it seems? Aaaand before you ask, my hair’s naturally pink, I dyed it blonde to make it look more normal, but the pink still shows through isn’t that sad?”

She really was on the roll today – she hadn’t remembered talking so much crap in ages.

Valentine
----------------------------
He had very few personal possesions, mainly some extra sets of his clothign and the essential toiletries. All Valentine had toreally pick up from reception was the key to the dorms.

He was thankful to find noone there at the moment, although their belongings were present. It seemed that they were exploring the complex. He walked up to the last empty bad and dropped his bag on it. He quietly opened it and began searching through it, incase anyone took anything or something was planted in it.

Even though his expression told a different story, Valentine was prety eager to explore the complex himself. He could catch up on all the training he missed and then use the computers to find out all he neded to know of his new 'classmates'.

Knowing your allies and enemies is essential for a spy. The more you know and the less they know the better. Knowledge is as great a weapon as physical strength.

He was satisfied to find everything in order, nothing was taken or planted.

Then he heard the door open.

While he had his back to it and therefore couldn't see who it was, he mentally groaned. He just wanted to be alone, he did not wish to socialise with anyone. He expression remained as void as emotion as stone as he turned to see who it was.


TAG anyone who wants to bug Valentine!

[Ghost]

I had a rolex once, tripped up the stairs and fell on my wrist and it cracked, but it did save my wrists from being hurt

Damon Castle
~~~~~~

"Well..."Craven had stopped to think for a minute. Damon had definately wondered what she was thinking about now."I came to spy school cos I got bored of normal school, I’ve made friends with an adorable albeit hyperactive kid who turns out to be one year older than me, I’m currently wandering over to the reception area to get a dorm, and I just bumped into a tall dude with weird but interestingly coloured hair –” She seemed to stop for a moment, and looked up at him.“Oh yeah, wanted to ask you, how did you get your hair to be so…odd? Tried to bleach your black hair blonde or the other way around or is that your natural hair colour, as impossible as it seems? Aaaand before you ask, my hair’s naturally pink, I dyed it blonde to make it look more normal, but the pink still shows through isn’t that sad?”

Damon sort of laughed inside his mind. He didn't really tell anyone this, but seeing as she had told him some things, he could tell her one thing. "AHhhh...My hair. Well..." Damon paused for a moment, then said "Before I came here, I was in the navy SEALs, and normally I was the one picked on. Well, as part of a sort of rookie hazing, my drill Sergeant, Sergeant John Miller, told me that if i died my hair pitch black, he'd promote me to a Private First Class. Now obviously, I really wanted to get promoted, so I did this. And man do i swear, When I got home from pre-BUDs to see my mom, she nearly killed me when she saw what I did with my hair." He stopped and chuckled for a moment, then said "People didn't really recognize me anymore, which was good. I grew this goatee here, which is more like a 5 o'clock shadow, and then I could basically start over in the city. Nobody really knew who I was, and I used a fake name...But then again, Damon Castle could be a fake name for all you know," He smirked. He liked to fool with people's minds. In reality, Damon Castle was not his real name, only a fake name he had been using for a while. Nobody but his mother knew his real name, and he still ridiculed her for calling him that.

"Well Craven..." He bit his tongue as he looked at his cracked Rolex. He couldn't tell what time it was, only that it was time to go. "I have to get going. Go set up my dorm and all, change, probably give myself a clean shave. It was nice to meet you," He said.

[Crystal Tears]

.:+Zak+:.

Okay... Now he was lost. His friends had split up and now he was simple alone. Madly searching around, he discovered that being short was a very displeasing thing, he couldn't see over half of these people's heads, and it was extremely annoying. But Zak brushed away the annoyance and began playing a game.

Don't get caught.

Sliding up against a wall like a child, he looked both ways, smiling gleefully he realized that he had succeed, and quickly dashed madly around the corner to escape...

Whump

"AHH!" Zak yelped, scrambling back to see Rox looking at him like he was insane. Zak madly blushed, and brought his knees to his face, hiding in them.

"Zak?" Rox questioned, standing up and moving over to him. "What are you doing?"

"If I can't see you! You can't see me!" He whimpered from inside his knees. Zak soon peeped out to see Rox kneeling down to him. Zak smiled sheepishly. "I'm playing a game." Zak whispered, like he was on a mission, soon inching out from his curled up position and tugging Rox's arm to the side. "Wanna play with me?"

Rox nodded, and soon enough you had two 'spies' crawling around and pretending they were on some top-secret mission.

"Zak wa-" Zak pivoted around on one foot and looked at Rox.

"Shh Rox! We have code names! I'm Blitz, and your Ace!" Zak whispered, as soon they were on their hands and knees crawling around along the floor, like to children at an adult party. "There it is! The prize!"

Rox and Zak both set eyes upon...

[Samchu]

Haven't posted here in a bit so I figured I should probably make an appearance. Heh...

Sam
~~~

I sighed. "I think I agree with Rox on this, do we really need to be doing this?"

Alex shrugged. "It won't take very long. I don't think getting upstairs will prove to be difficult for them."

"That's my point," I added with a sigh.

Eevee wrapped her arms around my waist and squeezed my middle. "You can be such a baby sometimes."

"I just wanna settle. It'd be nice for things to calm down at last."

"I suppose...Did you tell Sarena to head to the house?"

"Yeah. I asked her to put Kio down. He needs to get used to his new home."

"Good idea."

I could feel her tensing slightly. I knew she wanted to go home and check in on Kio, she couldn't last 30 minutes without seeing him. Guess it was that mother-child bond they're supposed to have. It was kinda cute I suppose but it could be trying sometimes. Didn't really leave me with much of a chance for any alone time. I sighed silently. How was she going to manage sitting through classes without him? I shook my head. I was being harsh on her. I was almost as bad as she was at times. What could I say? The little guy meant a lot to us, I was kinda jealous of all the attention he got.

"Why don't you head on home hmm? I can handle this bit of stairwell by myself. You don't need to be here as well."

“You sure?”

“Yeah, get outta here.”

She smiled and kissed me deeply. “I’ll see you later.”

I watched her go and sighed silently to myself. There were times when I wondered if marrying her had been the right thing to do. It had been a difficult time – for both of us, and maybe marriage had been a rash decision. But then again…I paused briefly, feeling the weight of my ring as I twirled it about on my finger. Hadn’t it given me everything I’d ever wanted? I had a family at last. Did I really doubt whether or not it was ‘the right thing’?

Of course I wasn’t.

I looked across the staircase at Alex. She and I were the only ones left since Rox had disappeared somewhere. Not that there was much point in us being there. Craven and some guy were talking a little further up, that quiet guy had disappeared to his room some time ago, and Genki and Zak were nowhere to be seen. I didn’t see the point in us being here any longer.

“I think we should call it a day. They don’t need us.”

Alex nodded. “Gonna head home?”

“Yeah. Get a couple of hours rest before Kio gets up for the day. Thinking about getting some training in after lunch, after that two month honeymoon period, I think I’m starting to get sloppy.”

“Sounds like a good idea. See you guys around campus later maybe?”

“Probably. Catch ya later Alex.”

“See you.”

We both went our separate ways. I headed home to be with my wife and Alex went wherever she felt she had to. I just wanted to enjoy the last precious hours of the morning where I belonged: at home with my family.

I slipped inside quietly, darting between the various boxes we’d have to unpack later and the sofa set still sat in its original packaging. I climbed the stairs, listening to my sister move about in her room – most probably unpacking. I couldn’t hear Eevee and assumed she was looking in on Kio. I was right of course.

I wrapped my arms about her waist and buried my face into the back of her neck. “He’s not going to grow up overnight,” I whispered to her.

“I’m just making sure he’s settled ok.”

I let out a disbelieving “hmm. How long you been here?”

“Not long.”

“Liar.”

“I haven’t!” she protested. She paused, realising her tone was too loud, and softened it slightly. “We haven’t been apart for that long.”

I nuzzled her neck. “Come to bed.”

“What?”

“Come on,” I pushed. “Kio will be out for a few hours, let’s get some rest. The school year’s just started; we don’t wanna tire ourselves out.”

“But –“

I sighed. I was going to win this argument whether she liked it or not. Without a word, I hooked my arm around her waist and hoisted her over my shoulder. I turned swiftly and headed out, refusing to let her down until we’d gotten to the bedroom. I dropped her onto our untouched mattress and kneeled on the edge of the bed, watching as she scrambled upright.

“Why did you do that?”

I set a firm gaze upon her. “You obsess over that child. Give him some space, he’ll be fine.”

She crawled towards me. “I think someone’s jealous.”

“Am not,” I pouted playfully, I knew she was just toying with me anyway.

“Liar.”

I caved quickly; I wasn’t in the mood for a long game. “Fine. I am a little. I want some attention.”

She just laughed and kissed me in that carefree way only she knew. She put her arms around my neck and we fell back on to the bed, laughing at each other like we always used to. I kissed her tenderly as she played with my hair, stroking it in that special way only I was allowed to experience.

“Eevee?”

“Yeah?”

“…You know I love you right?”

“Of course I know.”

“Just checking.” I nuzzled her neck gently with my nose. “Just checking.”

[ChobiChibi]

~Rox~
Genki... Stealing from the vending machine...
"Hey!" I yelled, rising to my feet. He dropped a few items he had taken. Zak remained crouched on the floor. "What do you think you're doing? I hope you're planning to pay for that." I sounded like a shop assistant that would have part of their wages cut if they didn't stop the guy.
I felt Zak tug on my jeans. "He's not really the bad guy on our mission, is he?"
"You expect me to have money after having to get myself to New York just to get the boat here?" He replied, placing the glass back in the machine.
I sighed, taking my wallet from my back pocket. I gentley pushed Genki aside, i tapped out a few numbers on the panel. A compartment popped open near the bottom. "If you'd read the information you got with your dorm stuff, you'd find that the canteen on the ground floor serves free food all day." I placed a five dollar bill in the compartment and pushed it shut. "Genki, you owe me five bucks."
Before he had a chance to say anything, I had already began walking off towards home, Zak at my heels. He got hold of my arm. "Rox, where are you going?"
"Oh yeah, i forgot. Sam, Eevee, Alex and I all live in houses on campus. I share with Alex. I was just heading home..." I explained.
I watched his expression turn from curiousity to sadness. He stared down at his feet. "I won't know where you are..."
"I'll show you!" I said, trying anything to stop him from looking so glum. "It's a nice walk through a park."
He grinned and i felt a huge sense of relief. "Where did you learn how to get into things like that?" He asked as i walked and he skipped a long. "Wait, that's a stupid question..."
"No, not really. I didn't learn here. I taught myself at home... Well, i had help online... Hey, that reminds me, how did you know my hacker name?" I questioned.
He looked confused. "Hacker name?"
"Yeah, before i came here, my hacker name was Ace... A lot of people found it funny when they found out the person who had hacked into their bank account was a 15 year old high school student." I sighed. "Good thing Jerry got me here otherwise i'd probably be-"
"Hey, girl, hand over the bag." We'd just entered the park when a group of 4 teenagers stopped us.
"Leave her alone!" Zak piped up, standing infront of me, arms out to either side.
"Zak, leave it." I whispered harshly.
"You heard me! Leave her alone!"
With one swift movement, one of the guys smacked him round the head with a metal pipe. I watched as he sank to the floor, clutching his head. No matter how much i wanted to get down there with him and make sure he was okay, i couldn't let my guard down. I heard him sniffle and whimper and anger built up inside of me. I surpressed it, knowing that it wouldn't help the situation. But what to do?
"Wanna play with me?" Zak's voice echoed in my head.
"The bag!" The leader demanded.
I lowered my bag slowly to the floor before kicking the guy with the pipe in the crotch. As he lowered to the ground, i kicked his jaw sending him stumbling backwards before he tripped.
"Aww, look... He got blood on my shoe... That's never going to wash out..." I commented before the other three guys came at me. I knew i could hold them off for a while, but i really hoped Zak would snap out of it and help me out.
~~
That was a bit of a strange post... *toddles off*

[Crystal Tears]

[color=orange][font=franklin gothic medium][b] Zak

A lot of pain echoed in poor Zakary’s head. He wanted to go home already, he wanted to feel safe, but now he was forced to watch three guys attack Rox. One hit her, hard, sending her toppling back so she slammed into a tree.

Gathering his courage Zak stood up again, though trembling, and still dazed from the hit, he managed to look somewhat threatening.

“Hey! Don’t you know it’s not nice to hit girls?!?”

This gesture caught the attention of one, but he quickly brushed Zak off as nothing. Zak growled. Scampering over to the numbskull with the pole, he grabbed it, tugging it free from the still clutched hands of the unconscious man. Hawk smiled, before he turned back to the group.

One of these thugs has unusually long hair, and Zak, being himself, jumped on the guys back, and proceeded to spring board of his back, while holding the hair. There was a nasty tearing noise as the flesh began to rip, and the guy was forced onto the ground on his back. Zak stood over his head, pole held high.

“I told you. It’s not nice to hit girls.” He swung; the pole went lightning fast, drawing nearer to the man’s face.

“Zak! Stop!”

Stop Stop STOP

Zak smirked; the pole slammed hard, crashing right next to the man’s ear. The guy whimpered, his pants becoming soaked, and soon enough his just stopped. Zak smiled, running the pole along the man’s head to look like he had actually hit the baby that was at his feet.

“I hope you play better then your friend…” Zak grinned devilishly, twirling the pole in his hand. “Now… Do you want to play?”

The man scampered, Hawk was watching them, as they took off into the distance, not even bother to help their fellow man. He dropped the pole, and looked up at Rox.

“I guess they didn’t want to play.”

It was then the shimmer in Zak returned, and he looked at the body in front of him. Biting his lip he looked up at Rox, who looked back at him. Gulping, he didn’t know what to do; instead he toddled off to the bench, and sat there; thinking about what he had just done.

[Hyperness is a Good Thing]

~Craven Orske~ F ~ In shock

After bidding farewell to Damon, Craven had decided to wander around abit before heading for her dorm, not too thrilled with the prospect of meeting her unknown roommate. She sighed. So far, apart from the older WOOHP students, she realised that she hadn't met any other girl.

She had come to a nice little park, it wasn't too big, but it seemed rather peaceful, and relaxing.

There were a bunch of mean looking guys hanging around, but Craven ignored them, hoping that they would ignore her too. One of them had come over, and tried to chat her up, but with the crummy mood she was in, he was barking up the wrong tree.

She blatantly ignored the pest by her side, instead humming a little tune and pretending that the world was a happy place and there weren't such things as irritating hormonal driven males.

He wasn't looking too happy about it, but, some of his mates called him over for something, and Craven was finally left alone. However, she looked to see the cause of his distraction, and bit her lip in shock. Zak and Rox, one of the older WOOHP students. She would have gone forward to give assistance, but it seemed that they were doing fine, so she waited.

She gasped in shock when she saw Zak attacking the larger teenage boy. That kid had courage. Then she stopped to remind herself that "that kid" was in fact, older than her.

After dealing very handily with the guy, Zak seemed to be in shock, and he almost stumbled as he made his way to a nearby bench. He was pale, and Craven could see that he was trembling.

Worried about her newly made friend, Craven moved forward and sat down next to him, plopping her bags down on the ground under the bench.

"You ok, Zak?" she asked, concern evident in her voice.

"Snmmph," he mumbled, his eyes averted. Always before this, he had met her gaze with an openness common only in children, and this sudden change in him frightened her.

"Zak, get a hold on yourself..." she said, trying desperately to think of a way to get him out of this odd mood.

Zak just muttered something, and Craven stared at him, her eyes narrowing.

"Do you lose control once in a while Zak?" she asked suddenly, hoping that he wouldn't get offended or run off.

[Ghost]

Damon Castle
~~~~~~~~~

After leaving Craven, Damon decided to head up to his dorm room, hoping that his roommate would be alright and not someone he would hate. Slowly Damon walked down to his dorm room, taking in the details of his surrondings. This place seemed pretty bland to him... Then again, Damon was never interested much in anything.

He finally reached his dorm room, and with a intake of breath, he opened the door and walked in.

Thankfully, no one was in the room right now. Maybe he didn't have a dorm partner... If he didn't, that would be god-like. Quickly, Damon walked over to one of the beds and set down his suitcase. He opened it up, and saw that what he had inside hadn't broken yet. Thank God,he thought. He slowly removed the contents of his clothes and other items, and walked over to the closet. It wasn't that big, but thankfully it would be able to hold his suits. Taking some of his own hangers he hung them up neatly and walked back over to his suitcase.

He drew out his laptop and opened it up, seeing that it was not on. Thankfully he hadn't wasted any battery power on it, he was hoping he could get some things done on it. Damon quickly turned it on and started to work on taking off his tie.

"Please scan fingerprint," The laptop announced. He threw his tie onto the ground and scanned his thumb over the biometric scanner. "Access accepted," It said as he threw his coat onto the ground. The computer slowly started to boot up. His alienware definately wasn't known for its boot up speed, but it was known for it's GeForce 7800 graphics card. He loved to play games like F.E.A.R, Battlefield 2 and Call of Duty 2. His Xbox 360 also sat idly in the briefcase, he hoped he'd have a High Def. TV to play around here.

Damon started to work on his button down shirt, when the computer booted up and asked for the password. He threw down his shirt and went over to the computer to type his password. "Password accepted," The female voice chimed, and he walked over to take off his pants. Now, sitting in his boxers, he walked over to his suitcase and took out his belt, a pair of dark blue jeans, and a black t-shirt.

Standing in his dorm in his boxers, Damon browsed around his computers, accessing his shadow drive along with the secret files he had along with it. After looking around and typing in various codes, and shut down his laptop. Grabbing his clothes he slowly walked into the bathroom, grabbing his shaving cream and razor. He walked into the bathroom and shaved off his scruff, and slowly walked back out. He slipped on his jeans and shirt, and looped his belt on. Looking down at his shirt, he now noticed that it was tight, and showed off his muscles too much. He settled for just throwing it off and grabbing a white undershirt, and he walked back outside of the dorm room.

What to do now....Damon thought.

[Mystic_clown]

Valentine
----------------------------
He could have sworn he heard someone come in. While he knew someone had opened the door, noone had apparently entered.

Maybe he was getting a bit paranoid.

Shrugging it off, Valentine checked his bag one last time before leaving the room. He had heard that everyone was free to explore the facility, so he had decided to take a look at WHOOPs training facilities. Valentine had missed a bit of training preparing from his transfer here. He felt obliged to catch up.

He tried his best to avoid the other students as he silently explored the school. He felt he had already had enough interaction for one day.

Sorry for the shortness, I got bored.

[Mystic_clown]

I don't mean to double post, but where is everybody. I personally don't want to see this die.

[Ghost]

I agree with Mystic Clown, where is everyone?

[~Genki Katchum~]

Hey, sorry. Personally, I've been gone for most of my spring break. But now I'm back... but I'm not sure what to do next at the moment (well, I was gonna do something, but then that got botched up before I could post it)... ¬_¬() Meh, I'll think of something and edit this later (have to go to this Lifeguard recertification class >_<)

[ChobiChibi]

Quit complaining and actually post something.
And don't complain about "botched up plots". Everyone has that happen to them. I know you're directing that at me and i'm sorry, that's just the way things go.

As you can tell, not in a good mood today >_>;

~Rox~
I sighed, leaning against the tree to catch my breath. I was seriously out of practise, but then again the physical aspect of the spy way wasn't exactly my forte. Craven was over by Zak trying to comfort him. He was shivering violently and was very pale. I suspected that as well as being shocked, he probably had a concussion from the hit to his head. Maybe he was worried we would get into trouble too...
There was a way out of it. We wouldn't get into trouble if they couldn't trace us.
I rummaged around in my bag. It was like a tardis in the way i seemed to have so much stuff in there. I pulled out a spray bottle and a cloth. I joined Zak and Craven, standing infront of the bench.
"Zak, where did you drop that pipe?" I asked.
Where as before Craven didn't seem to be getting very far, Zak immediately pointed to where it lay. I picked it up before kneeling down infront of them both.
"Your first lesson in spy techniques, brought to you by the one and only Roxanne Violet." I announced. "This liquid, i forget its name, is used to destroy skin cells and DNA left on things. You spray it on the cloth and wipe down the part where you were holding it."
"But wouldn't you end up getting even more cells on it?" Craven asked.
"Ah, it only destroys dead cells and they're the ones that are transferred onto things. Because i have the spray on my hands, it destroys all the dead cells on my hand." I replied.
"Why aren't you cleaning the blood off?"
I leaned backwards and pointed at the guy Zak had hit. I had punched his nose pretty hard before and it was bleeding. "It would look suspicious if there was a pole with no blood on after that guy has a load of blood around his nose." I thought back a little bit. "That was a good punch, that..." I coughed. "Unless that's Zak's blood..."
Craven pushed back Zak's hair that was infront of his forehead. "Nope, just a big bruise..."
"Probably turn out purpley yellow... They're the best kind." I laughed a little to myself, but stopped when i noticed Zak was still shivering. I placed the pole back where it had been and took off my hoodie, revealing a black t-shirt with the number 1337 printed in white. I slipped my hoodie over Zak's head and he put his arms through. "And i thought that was big on me..." The end of the sleeves drooped over his small arms and the bottom nearly reached his knees.
"Rox... He looks a little spaced out..." Craven pointed out. "We need to get him back."
I put my stuff back in my bag and placed it on my back. "Okay, Zak... I need you to climb up on my back... Don't worry about my bag, you can sit on it if you want." I turned around and he climbed on, wrapping his legs around my stomach and drooping his arms over my shoulders. "Hold on, okay?"
I felt his head nod once slowly. "Okay..." He whispered.
I stood up slowly, losing my balance a little.
"Are you sure you don't want me to carry your bag?" Craven asked.
"No, it's okay... I've carried a heavier person before..." I thought back to when i had to carry Sam a long the beach... "Just for a different reason..."
I sighed and headed back towards WOOHP, Craven walking beside me. I've already caused one person to get hurt... I hope this will be the last time...

The Tardis was referenced due to the fact i missed Dr Who last night... >_>

[Mystic_clown]

Valentine
----------------------
Upon finding the training facilities, Valentine had to admit, he was impressed. Apart from the gym, which had top of the line equipment, there was also a conjoining weapons training facility. It seemed to feature almost any type of weapon one could find (after all, a spy must learn to use what he can find).

He was pleased however, to find a series of melee weapons as well, more importantly, a katana.

While had been trained to wield a number of weapons, Valentine had taken a liking to the feudel Japanese weapon. Something about it just agreed with him.

Taking it off its stand, he gave it a small practise cut. He gave a small smile when he heard it hum as it sliced through the air.

However, his weapon of choice had to wait until later. He had to catch up on his physical training, which required only the use of the gym. He could practise with the katana later.

Placing it back on its stand, the white haired youth stepped back in the gym and looked around, thinking about what to do first.


Anyone care to join him?

[~Genki Katchum~]

Contrary to what you may think, PokemonLuver, I was not directing any comments at you. If you must know, I actually meant that I was typing up a reply to something (a pretty long one, too), but was beaten to the punch. Then when I tried to modify it so it wasn't a complete waste, my browser decided to be stupid and didn't post my reply and everything I had written was lost. If you look back at what I said, I did say that "[it was] botched up before I could post it." It wasn't about you at all in any way and I apologize if it seemed that way. Also, I wasn't trying to complain in that post. I was merely trying to explain what was going on with me just in case people thought I was being neglegent of this RPG.

~Genki~

After ransacking a few more vending machines (simply for the fun of it), Genki plopped down on the nicely-cut, soft grass and enjoyed the view over some Cheetos and a Coke. "This place ain't so bad," Genki mumbled through a mouthfull of chips, "I could definitely get used to this!"

Genki hopped up after finishing his first meal of the day (if you can actually call chips and soda a meal, that is) and took a moment to stretch. "Ahhh! That was good. Now I need to work off all this fresh energy!" Fresh energy indeed--Genki had about 20 cokes during his snackage.

"I wonder if they have a gym or something around here..." Genki wondered as he looked around, trying to decide where to go. After a few moments of thought, Genki picked a direction and headed that way.

~~

"Geeze! This place is friggin' huge!"

Genki had only been walking for about 10 minutes, but he was already getting annoyed at the complexity of the campus. Although it would probably be less complex if he actually read a sign or two--something he had neglected doing despite all the signs.

"AH!"

Genki had stepped into a large room filled with exercise equippment. "Finally!"

The first thing to catch Genki's eye was a group of punching bags. The bags were positioned in a circle. The intention was probably to simulate a surround attack. Genki stepped into the middle and looked at the bags around him. A grin crept onto Genki's face as he slid into one of his many fighting stances. One second later, and Genki was off like a blur.

First, he punched the bag in front of him, then kicked the one directly behind him. Quickly, he spun around kicking another bag. Genki then leapt into the air and kicked two other bags. As the bags came back at him, Genki rapily attaked the bags in a flurry of punches and kicks. To finish his assault, Genki did several ninjutsu hand motions, closed his eyes while taking a deep breath, and quickly hit each bag with a different kind of punch.

Genki opened his eyes and looked at the punching bags and scoffed. "Tch... these things are really flimsy." And with that, the bags all began to leak sand in various spots that Genki had hit in his assault. Genki stepped out of the circle of punching bags and saw Valentine watching him.

[Hyperness is a Good Thing]

OOC: sorry for long inactivity

~~ Craven ~~ F

She was feeling a little bit confused. Too much had happened within a very short time. "Guess this is what it's like to be a spy," she mused idly. Roxanne had treated it as nothing, so she assumed getting attacked by thugs was an everyday occurrence here, or something like that. She was still very worried about Zak, he remained rather quiet as he rested on Roxanne.

"Is there some sort of infirmary here?" Craven asked. "There probably is, isn't it, especially this being a spy school and all..."

Roxanne didn't speak, but she nodded. She seemed a little worried for somer reason. Maybe concern for Zak.

As they walked, Roxanne muttered brief explanations of the various places to Craven, though she didn't really need it, she had already memorized the floor plan from the map they had been given of the school. However, she didn't want to hurt Roxanne's feelings, plus it seemed to calm everyone down, and anyway, Roxanne told interesting little stories about each room.

Zak recovered enough to laugh a little bit at some of the funny stories, and Craven felt a bit relieved. At least he seemed a little better. Zak depressed just seemed somehow wrong. She wondered why he was so down, and she sighed. There was still so much she didn't know about her new friends, and she hoped that she could find out more, just so that she could understand them better, and well, be a better buddy. Like now, she didn't really know what was wrong with him, just that he wasn't feeling very happy, so all she could do was offer her silent and mute support, and hope that he would improve soon. When time passed, she hoped that she would know him well enough to be able to comfort him properly.

They reached the infirmary, and Rox entered with Zak. Craven decided to hang around outside. She didn't really feel like going in for some reason.

To tell the truth, all she wanted to do was to find some quiet corner, and curl up, and to be alone with her thoughts. However, her worry for Zak kept her right outside the infirmary. She leant against the wall and closed her eyes.

What a way to begin my first day here, she thought wryly. And classes haven't even started yet.

Sorry for being away for so long. And for the terrible post that lies below.

Alex

I sighed and headed to the library I had been away from for so long. A craved the sensation of reading a piece of fiction more than anything else at the moment. There was something so fascinating about another world and another life that I couldn't resist.

I knew the library would be empty. The first day in a new place, a spy placeno less, would be cause for adventure and fun, and the library was a contrast to all that. Well, in most minds I reckoned. Somehow, I didn't being alone for now. Sure enough, I hadn't made any new friends yet, but there was always time for friendship and new people later.

Now, there was time for a fresh, new novel. Pages untouched. Words unread.

Besides, Rox had made a few friends, and I knew that soon enough she would no longer be able to resist introducing us. I was perfectly content with my solitude, and perfectly content with waiting for someone new to meet.

Valentine
-------------------------
He had to admit, this Genki wasn't that bad a fighter. Although he could use a bit more training.

"What do you think?" he asked smugly. Valentine just nodded.

"Not bad," he replied, "Needs work." Genki raised an eyebrow.

"You think you can do better?" Valentine's mismatched eyes locked on Genki.

"Would you care for a spar?" he asked. Genki just grinned and the two moved to the centre of the gym. Genki put his fists up, while Valentine went into the snake pose.

All was still for a minute. Then Genki made his move.

He shot at Valentine with great speed and swung a few punches. Valentine dodged the first and blocked two more before he went to strike Genki in the face. He was quick though as he cought Valentine's arm and through him over his shoulder.

With the grace of a cat, Valentine landed on his feet and shot at Genki, throwing punches and kicks ruthlessly at him. He could see Genki was having a hard time trying to block them. Dodging an axe kick from Valentine, Genki swung his foot for a roundhouse kick. Valentine caught it, but then Genki fell onto his back and his free foot shot out, a manouver more for throwing Valentnie off of him rather then hurting him. The move sent Valentine into the air and into the wall.

The white haired youth managed to land feet first on the wall and shot off towards Genki, who had just gotten to his feet. Genki prepared to block, but Valentine got hold of him and with all the forward momentum behind him, slammed him into the ground. With a graceful flip, Valentine landed on his feet.

Genki quickly scrambled to his feet, but it was clear the he was getting a little worn out by this. Valentine on th other hand didn't seem to have broken a sweat.

~Genki~

Genki slowly rose to his feet, beginning to breath heavily. "Damn. This guy's good..." Genki thought to himself as he clenched his fists.

"Care to continue?" Valentine said in a slightly mocking manner.

Genki grinned and loosend his body, "Heh. You bet."

"Very well. Make your move."

"Ladies first!"

Valentine slowly moved towards Genki in what seemed to be an unthreatening manner. Genki remained loose and began to slowly rock side to side bobbing his head as if he was listening to some music. Valentine suddenly increased his speed, leapt in the air, and performed a double kick which Genki avoided by falling on his back.

Genki quickly lifted himself with his hands and went from a handstand to his feet, which were beginning to move in a rhythmic pattern--almost as if he were dancing. Genki charged at Valentine, making it seem like he was going to punch Valentine in the stomach, but instead dropped into a handstand while simultaneously attempting to kick Valentine in the head. Valentine, expecting a punch, had moved one arm to his stomach to block the shot, but quickly blocked Genki's kick with his free arm.

Genki quickly went from the handstand kick to a sweeping kick, using his hands as feet for balance. Valentine tripped from Genki's kick and went rolling on the ground for two revolutions before making a graceful recovery. Genki, still on his hands with his legs in the air, did a somersault and came up on his feet.

"Ah, Capoeira," Valentine said while casually brushing himself, "not bad!"

"Thanks," Genki replied with a grin, "Although I know many different styles, this is one of my favorite."

"'Different styles,' eh?"

"Yeah. Here's another!" Genki shifted into a Jeet-Kun-Do pose and charged at Valentine...

SATs and APs are finally over!!! no more insane studying! freedom!

IC:

Sam and I enjoyed each other's company in the familure bedroom of our WOOHP house. After many passionate kisses, I stared into his eyes.

"What's wrong?" I asked gently.

Sam played with the ring on his finger, then responded, "nothing."

I'd known Sam for awhile now, and i wouln't let him get away that easily. Stroking his short, blond hair, I repeated the question. "Sam, what's wrong?"

Sam sighed. "This place is making me think, that's all," he said, then leaned in for a kiss. I leaned back, therefore halting the kiss.

"What are you thinking about?" I asked.

"I don't know. Last time we began here, we were young. Freshman. New. Naive. I guess, I guess I'm still trying to adjust to where I am now," he lamely said.

I studyed his face some more. "You mean with me? And with Kio?"

Sam looked away. "I don't know", he said.

"Well, I don't know if you don't know. I mean, don't we love eachother? Don't we love our family?" I said.

"Of course. Yes. I love you Eevee. Now that I have you, I could never live without you. I know that now, from the incident at the end of last year," Sam confesed.

"Then what is it?" I asked. Sam sighed again.

"I don't know. Maybe it's about being tied down. No that's not what I mean. I mean-oh, I don't know what I mean," he said.

"Well, tell me when you figure it out. Didn't we say we'd work out anything? We're here for each other," I said.

Sam sat silently for awhile. I kissed him reasuringly. In each other's arms, for the moment, the world seemed right again.



OOC: haHA! TAG, Sam!!

“It’s complicated…” I said quietly, breaking the perfect silence we had surrounded around ourselves.

She smiled at me gently. “It’s us, when is it never complicated?”

I frowned slightly. It was true of course, our life together had never been simple and that wasn’t just because of the school. “There’s just a lot of things going round in my head right now. I’m worried that getting married wasn’t what you really wanted. I’m scared I can’t be a good father for Kio. I can’t stop thinking about the year ahead of us and I can’t forget everything in the past.” I sighed. “I’m jealous of all the attention you give Kio but I’m afraid it’s because you’ve grown bored of me. I keep expecting something to turn up and take this family away from me and I know it’ll be something that I can’t protect you from.” I paused briefly to reorganise my thoughts. “I hate the fact that we haven’t had sex since our wedding day but I’m too scared to do anything because of what happened. I think that I might drive you to something…” I dropped my voice as I ran my finger over the scar on her wrist. A constant reminder of what she had tried to do to herself. I blamed myself for it.

She sighed and wrapped her about me, drawing me in so that I could rest my head softly against her breasts. “You have nothing to worry about. You’re a great father to Kio; I wouldn’t question that for a second. The marriage was my choice and I don’t regret it for a single second. I wanted to be with you unquestioningly and now nothing can make it otherwise.” She stroked my cheek softly and I somehow found comfort in what she did. “You can’t forget the past but you can’t worry about the future. Things are bound to happen, we knew that the day we chose to become spies, but we’ll deal with it as and when it happens.” Eevee laughed suddenly and I looked up at her confused. “Are you really jealous of a two month old baby?”

I shook her off. “That’s not funny.”

She hugged me playfully from behind, cooing in my ear. “That’s so sweet.” I didn’t say anything. She swung herself round so that she was sat on my lap facing me. “Alright, I promise we’ll spend more time together.”

I raised an eyebrow at her questioningly. “Promise?”

“That’s what I said,” she leant forward, kissing me gently on the lips. I kissed her back, igniting the passion between us.”

“That’s my girl,” I whispered to her. I brushed her hair from her face; it was starting to grow long again. “Don’t wanna forget what you look like now do I?”

She smiled shyly. “Hey,” she perked up suddenly, straightening herself up. “Do you want to go practise some sword fighting? We haven’t had one since the Olympics.”

“You’d wake Kio up for that?”

She laughed. “No silly. Just the two of us. I promised we’d spend some time together didn’t I? I’m sure I can draw myself from Kio for an hour or two, he won’t wake up for a while anyways.”

“Are you sure,” I didn’t want to push her into parting from our child. I understood they had that ‘bond’ but I really wanted the chance for us to do something together. Just the two of us. I missed that.

“Yep,” she jumped off the bed and pulled me to my fight. “Come on already!”

I smirked to myself, letting her pull me out the door. “Alright I’m coming, just let me tell my sister where we’re going. Then I’m all yours,” I added slyly.
