june 26?? idk pulls dates from hammerspace

[thirdof]

i'm sure you know that the school isn't exactly safe right now.

you're smart, but i'm just making sure your intelligence hasn't failed you somehow. bad things tend to happen to the most interesting people, you know?

[beware_of_karma]

My intelligence is fine, my patience is wearing.

There is a group of regular students whose aim is to disrupt me at every turn. They try to ambush me, and attempt to take out my legs. I guess the school is tired of me, or maybe I got close to something. Who knows, but anymore of this and I may have to go beyond mere fights.

Has anything peculiar occurred to you?

[thirdof]

huh, i have noticed the native students acting quite aggressively in general---it seems like we've all
offended them somehow. i've gotten dirty looks, heard people whispering while looking at me, even nearly got cornered in the gym by a bunch of girls, who keep following me and try to shove me into anything that's close by.

hence, why i've been staying away from windows.

i don't suggest grievously harming anyone, but scratch my back and i'll scratch yours. if we can somehow turn the two groups against each other...

where are you?

[beware_of_karma]

[It takes him awhile to reply. He doubts that her plan would work. He's also seen these groups of students, but they targeted everyone even each other. This particular one had eyes only for him. It was risky, her group could end up deciding the two invaders are more interesting, and join up with his own.

And he was in rough shape.]

I can't protect you.

[thirdof]

i'm stronger than i look, karma. i've dealt with worse things than angry kids. i can handle it if things get bad.

[She's noticed that if she leads the girls to places where other native students are present, they get distracted and split up their ranks. Half the girls start harrassing their peers while the remainder still try to stalk Seth. If things are timed correctly...]

just tell me where you are. i'll even bring you a surprise.

[beware_of_karma]

[He's still unsure, but he could use the help, even if he didn't want to admit it.]

I'm out in the courtyard.

[thirdof]

right. i won't be long, then. keep an ear out, because things...might get a little loud.

[She's actually not that far away, being in the sports room; briefly, she checks her pockets to see if she has enough yard stakes to deal with the angry students---but knows she'll have to conserve them as well. She also makes sure to grab a random baseball bat she finds lying around for Karma, in case he's unarmed.

Then she heads out into the halls, and hilarity ensues; the girls somehow have tracked her down. Laughing rather coldly, Seth takes up a ball and chucks it at one of them, nailing her in the gut. The group scatters as the girl doubles over, and Seth dashes past them.

It's not long before she's pursued, having to shove and weave her way around more rioting students. She gets grabbed, gets shoved in kind, even takes a couple of hits to her back and sides, and she growls, feeling her canines pull a bit.

And she frowns, but quickly dismisses the sensation.

In the meantime, one unfortunate male student gets kicked through the doors to the courtyard, and Seth tromps in afterward, her uniform crooked and rumpled, her closed-mouth grin not reaching her eyes as she looks on at Karma---recognizing him as the boy she ran into at the library.]

I knew those messages seemed a little familiar. Fancy meeting you in person---and as I'm a woman of my word---here.

[She hands him the baseball bat.]

I figured it might come in handy.

[beware_of_karma]

[Alas, the baseball bats in this school where cheap, plastic grade, pieces of crap. Something he realized after stealing one before, only for it to become useless after a single fight. But it beats nothing.]

[It takes him a moment to get back onto his feet from the place he was resting, and already his own group and the one she attracted was starting to swarm in.]

[He was in pain, and a lot of it. His hands where already broken and bloody, barely healed from his last fight, and his legs has been injured. Running wasn't going to be an option. But as one of the students come's close, he showed that running wasn't necessary.]

[Like a viper his hand strikes out and grabs their face, nail digging into one of their eyes causing them to shriek. And in the next moment they where being thrown back into the fray.]

Appreciated. So, now what's the plan?

[koat]

[beware_of_karma]

Depends on what you have in mind.

[koat]

[beware_of_karma]

And I'm sure the one's after this will be equally as strange.

Sure, let's go. When should we meet up?

[koat]

[It's been a week since the hellhound in the teacher's lounge incident. Guess what Kallen does when she finally talks to him again?]

KARMA YOU IDIOT!

[beware_of_karma]

Seems you're doing better, Kallen.

[acequeen]

TELL ME YOU'RE AT LEAST GETTING A PROSTHETIC OUT OF THIS

do i have to bribe someone to do this?

[beware_of_karma]

I don't know if the school will be providing one.

I have a friend that can make a hook at least, but I'll be asking the other talented people of our dear school if they can manage anything.

Perhaps I can convince them to add a gun mechanism.

[acequeen]

well at least it's better than nothing...

oh, like one of those built-in gun machines robots have? haha i don't know if anyone can do that

[beware_of_karma]

That would be amazing, but very unlikely. I was thinking like a small pistol in one of the fingers.

[acequeen]

heh it sounds ridiculous but i can see you putting it there. how are you going to take care of it, though?

[beware_of_karma]

(｀ڼ´) by not being a useless idiot like some people.

[acequeen]

hey! what are you implying, huh?!

[beware_of_karma]

That I can handle things, so don't worry about it.

[acequeen]

then why didn't you say so to begin with?!

... handle things. *oh* i see what you did there

[ex_adept179]

[Since somebody here has presumably gone back to sleeping outside like an alley cat... And is now one-handed...]

How are you faring?

[beware_of_karma]

How are you faring?

[ex_adept179]

I'd never taken you for a parrot, I must admit.

A crow strikes me as more appropriate.

[beware_of_karma]

And yet here we are both avoiding the same question because we know the answer.

[ex_adept179]

I prefer not to speculate.
