Harbinger Pt 3: TEEDUS (amos,flip,hab, introducing python!)

<HabeusKaiju>: It's another fun, coffee filled afternoon, at the S-Academy, as Flipside, Amos, and HabeusKaiju all sit in the breakroom, chatting it up, as always. The PA System lets out that familiar low hum, and, the garbage, has yet to be emptied. but, today, something new shall transpire. Here, it wll begin....
HabeusKaiju sips his coffee, and bite into a piece of bacon
Flipside continues to read her book, feet resting on the coffee table.
<HabeusKaiju>: So, how you guys doing?
Amos read through the news on a small tablet on the couch, munching a chocolate bar as he laid back
<Amos>: "Work. Still helping deal with the cleanup and all the paperwork surrounding it" The bogeyman sounded exhasperated as he said it, his eyes briefly blinking to their more monstrous state as he doesn't seem to bother keeping consistent
<Amos>: "And to make matters worse, the thievery"
<Flipside>: "Cleanup?" she asked, looking up from her book.
<Amos>: "Yeah, been doing my best to help with that mess we fixed in Iraq. There was a lot of damages and negotiations that have come onto my plate"
<HabeusKaiju>: "Too busy hiding your late night rooftop sessions?" HabeusKaiju says, with a chuckle
<Amos>: "Nothing I can't ha-..." James stops, sighing with a light grumble. "No. I don't /need/ to hide those"
<Flipside>: "Boys, no fighting."
<HabeusKaiju>: Just a joke, Mir, nothing more
<Amos>: "But he started it" His mood lightens a bit as he jokes, smirking
<HabeusKaiju>: As he says that, there is a knock at the door
HabeusKaiju raises a ridge, and looks towards the door
<Amos>: "...Come in" Amos called out
<HabeusKaiju>: the door opens to reveal....
*** Ignition is now known as Python
Python is shoter than average girl. Not that you can tell at first sight. The first thing to see are the hair. Or, rather, cables where hair should be. A greasy shirt has some unitelligeble program code. The shoes are big. The smile is wide.
<HabeusKaiju>: Hey there, you need help?
<Python>: Yo, drones
<Flipside>: "Drones? Did we sign up for a cyberpunk convention or something?"
<Python>: Ya, need room 315, can't find it in this drekkink place!
Python hair wriggles
<Amos>: "...drones?" He mumbled to himself, then turning to the girl with the strange vocabulary.
<HabeusKaiju>: Oh, you new here?
<Flipside>: "Jesus we did sign up for it didn't we." she said with some dread in her voice, putting her feet down and standing up.
Python does a kung-fu pose
<Amos>: "That wasn't in my contract I swear"
<HabeusKaiju>: You....alright?
<Python>: Watch it, red, or Imma install my boot in your mainframe!
<Amos>: "....Who are you?"
<Python>: I mean your face. That's what I call it.
<Python>: Name's Python. You gonna tell me where the dregs is the room or do I hafta hack your drokkin security?
<HabeusKaiju>: Do you have a real name?
Python makes a grin at HabeusKaiju
<Flipside>: "I can tell you right now that doing that will net you some nasty adware in your systems. You're a student, you follow the rules." Mirela said as she approached the girl.
<Python>: This one's the only one you getting, Gojira-sama
<Python>: Pfft, rules are for dregs and drones. Totally unschway
<HabeusKaiju>: Well, no, we need your official name, so we can put you down in the system. It's....sort of the rules
<HabeusKaiju>: And, please, call me Theo
Amos sighed, he knew how to deal with these types. He stood up, putting aside the tablet. Suddenly his posture changed, standing up tall and intimidating with his entire body exuding an unnatural authority. Being the bogeyman in charge of fear has perks sometimes.
<Amos>: "Do not address the school officials as such. Now, as Mr. Honda has said, we need your name. Follow. The. Rules"
HabeusKaiju puts a hand on Amos' shoulder
<HabeusKaiju>: Calm down, James, don't go intimidating the kid on the first day
Python puts hands against sides
<Flipside>: "No, this one is clearly lacking in the respect directory."
<Python>: I follow only one rule - I don't follow rules!
Amos looked from Theo then to Python, not budging in his stubbornness
<HabeusKaiju>: Guys, she is just a kid, we were like this. Let me try
HabeusKaiju kneels down, and rifles through his pocket, pulling out a piece of paper
<HabeusKaiju>: Listen, if you tell us your name, and, what exactly you can do, I can get you some coupons for....acomputer store?
<Flipside>: "I know I wasn't. I've got an entire family who can attest to that."
Amos looms over them, growing increasingly aggressive looking from behind Theo
<Python>: ..what kinda computer store?
<HabeusKaiju>: Does.....Best Bought sound good?
Flipside cringes. The /worst/ possible option and he chooses that.
Python pulls out what looks like it used to be a phone. Also a can opener. Also a nuke. Also a toothbrush. Also tetris.
<Python>: Nah
<HabeusKaiju>: How about.....ice cream?
HabeusKaiju says, smiling weakly
Amos starts to look less and less human, his features changing as they begin to disturb the human mind to even look at.
Python puts the thing back
<Python>: Awright, Iceceram is schway
<HabeusKaiju>: Alright
HabeusKaiju flips the coupon away from her hand
<Python>: HEY!
<HabeusKaiju>: then, give us something to call you, and, what you can do, and, we'll be even, okay?
Python grumbles
<Python>: awright
<Python>: but it's only for icecream, capeesh?
<HabeusKaiju>: Capeesh
<Python>: name's Molly
<Python>: Molly Millioms
<Python>: don't google that, I uh got some maleware on the net for that
Python wriggles hair
<HabeusKaiju>: And....what is with your hair there?
<Python>: girl's gotta plug in her toys, dig?
Python extends one of the hair, demonstrating a USB cable on the end
<Python>: Johnny ain't got nuthin on me
<Flipside>: "...Let's not put her next to anyone with technology. At all."
<Amos>: "Agreed"
<Python>: aaw, I don't bite, Red
Python the cable hair opens like a mouth and hisses
<Python>: not much anyway
<Flipside>: "That's Miss Crespelle to you."
<Python>: what, couldn't afford a real name?
<Python>: that's like Haskell code
Amos moved Hab out of the way, time to assert dominance.
Python several other hairs open up
<Python>: so you gonna tell me where's the room is or what?
<Amos>: "As acting head of the S-Men program as well as a teacher and council member of the entire school, I'd like to remind you that distasteful comments towards staff and students can and will get you in some /very/ deep trouble, Ms. Millioms" His voice was as loud as it was commanding
<Python>: bigger than hacking Pentagon?
<Python>: coz I did that, mr big boss man
<Amos>: "Now, as we have not been informed of your arrival, its our duty to find out just why you are here. Admitting a federal crime is probably the first step of that, thank you very much"
Flipside sighed. She had had enough of the girl right about now.
<Flipside>: "Right, that is it, young lady."
Amos let loose two tendrils, one shutting the door behind her while the other loomed menacingly overhead
<Python>: oh so that's how you do it, huh?
<Flipside>: "You are going to sit down and tell us, the staff, the higher-ups, your ELDERS, everything we need to know about you. You will comply, you will cooperate, and you will be sweet and friendly or so help me god I'm getting the magnets."
<Python>: SEE?!
<Python>: ...well /maybe/, and I'm not saying it's true, but maaaaybe I joked about the Pentagon thing
<Amos>: "Not something to joke about"
<HabeusKaiju>: It's sort of a no no...
Python grumbles
<Python>: they're still evil
<HabeusKaiju>: AS much as political discussions are my bread and butter during coffee room chats, I think it's about time you went to your room, alright?
<Python>: yeah, notice how you STILL haven't told me where the drokkin room is
<Amos>: "You haven't told us what your powers are"
<Python>: [note to Flip, consider feet dropped of the table]
Python waves hair at Amos
<Python>: helooooo?
<Amos>: "I can see that. Just /what/ is it"
<Python>: Oh them's cables. I got em on my head like hair, and since they're mech I wriggle em like fingers
Amos sighed, taking a long drink of coffee
<Python>: so where's that icecream?
HabeusKaiju hands Python her coupon
Python smiles
<HabeusKaiju>: Your room is three hallways down, 4th door on the right
<Python>: arigato, Gojira-sempai
Python does a "bow" of sorts to Habeus. It was meant to look like those Japanese bows of respect, but looks more like a hyppo dancing
<HabeusKaiju>: So....She seemed....nice
Amos still felt the bitterness of authority ignored, his shape changing back to human
Flipside puts in a note to install EMPs and up cyber-security.
<HabeusKaiju>: I'll be sure to keep eyes on her
<Flipside>: "You better, Theo. If she gets in trouble again, we're jailing her."
Python runs down the hallway, resisting the urge to use spraypaint and smokebombs
<Amos>: "Then I'll leave her in your hands. My attentions are already taken up with my work, I do not need another piece of trouble"
<Amos>: "My job is to ensure the safety of the students, staff, friends, family of all who go here as well as lead the group against mutated or otherwise threats. Delinquency is not one of those things"
Amos was all business, almost stuck up to a fault
<HabeusKaiju>: Alright, I know, I know
<HabeusKaiju>: Just....you know notice something odd about her?
<HabeusKaiju>: no, I don't mean behavior wise, i mean...
HabeusKaiju points to his head
<Amos>: "The mutation?"
<HabeusKaiju>: YEah, don;t you think it's....odd?
<Amos>: "That's what they said about you and me when we were students, no?"
<HabeusKaiju>: No, James, i mean, relating to recent events?
<Amos>: "...Elaborate"
HabeusKaiju makes his eyes roll back into his head, and does a mock irish accent, that sounds more jamaican than anything
<HabeusKaiju>: Once the one with the head of snakes arrives, that is the beginning of the end
<Flipside>: "...what?"
HabeusKaiju coughs, and goes back to normal
<HabeusKaiju>: The Irish guy, on tv
<HabeusKaiju>: It's sort of a coincidence, isn;t it?
<HabeusKaiju>: I mean, rash of robberies, that guy on tv, and her showing up?
Amos crushed the empty coffee cup in his hand, breathing out slowly
<Amos>: "Then what you're telling me is that this is connected to that? That her being here is the 'beginning of the end'?"
<HabeusKaiju>: Well, jeez, I'm not saying it's a definitive thing, but, maybe we could look into it?
<HabeusKaiju>: We do have her name now
<HabeusKaiju>: You guys seem a little on edge though. maybe I'll just ask Clara to do it
Amos growled a bit
<Amos>: "Fine. But if nothing comes of it, I'll intervene"
<Amos>: "I've had enough of this already"
<Flipside>: "I have my own work to be doing, either way. But you know by now, call me if I'm needed."
<HabeusKaiju>: I will, I will
HabeusKaiju walks over, and pours another cup of coffee, before scribbling on his notepad
<HabeusKaiju>: Note to self, switch to decaf
<Amos>: "I will let you and your daughter handle that tonight. Mir, you're invited to the roof."
Amos wiped the cup shards off of his hand into the trash. They had more of them.
<Flipside>: "I'll be there."
HabeusKaiju sips some more coffee, and grabs the newspaper, and a pencil, before heading out with a wave
<HabeusKaiju>: Ill get on it, seeya guys later
<Amos>: "Good luck, Theo"
<HabeusKaiju>: Same to you, when you guys have to wake up early, and nurse those hangovers
HabeusKaiju chuckles, and makes his exit
Amos slumps back onto the couch, letting out a low groan
<Flipside>: "I know man, I know."
<Amos>: "Bloody kids"
<Amos>: "Was I that asinine when I was younger?"
<Flipside>: "You were stubborn as all hell, but that's about it."
<Flipside>: "Tendency toward self-loathing too."
<Amos>: "Sounds about right. Now I can just add bossy on the end to it" He chuckled
<Amos>: "You've stayed reasonable most of the time, though. After coming here of course."
<Flipside>: "I suppose. It's easy to be the voice of reason in this place, though."
<Amos>: "I wouldn't say you have the easiest job in the world, though"
<Flipside>: "It's easy to handle, but not so easy as to lower pay." she said with a smirk.
<Amos>: "Heh. Lucky"
<Flipside>: "Just gotta be clever." she said, running a hand through her hair and looking over her notes.
<Amos>: "Well, that's why I got you around here. You're the clever one. I'm thick enough to go for the leadership position off the bat"
<Flipside>: "You're probably a night guy anyway, what with the... vampire thing."
<Amos>: "Its why I haven't cured it yet" Amos mused, his fangs showing for a moment
<Flipside>: "I don't blame you, I could with a lil' vampirism myself to keep up with Donnie."
<Amos>: "Was that a request?"
Amos was mostly joking
<Flipside>: "Tempting, but I'll pass."
<Amos>: "Alright, alright, you ever need a bite you know who to call"
<Flipside>: "I'll pencil you in at some point."
<Amos>: "Surprisingly enough I've had people do that. Didn't do it for them, of course, but you know how kids are about vampires"
<Amos>: "I get the feeling I'm appearing in some girl's fan fiction at this point"
<Flipside>: "I understand that feeling well, Amos. But I suppose the only thing you can do is navigate that maze and try and glean some life experience from it. You're a great guy, James. Never forget that."
Amos paused for a moment, his stubborn iron wall of a self loathing ego dropped a bit. Rather than a foolish smile he put on a genuine one. Even the smallest hand of kindness usually got to him. "...Thanks, Mirela. Same to you too"
<Flipside>: "No problem, James. Everything will be okay."
<Amos>: "...I know. Just have to be reminded sometimes" He nodded, lightening up some
