That one thing from the other day
Tuesday March 16th- year 1014 NE. Mythos academy, Venusian northern Clouds
as the last few shuttles touched down on the outer rings docking sections automated boarding procedures would take an annoying few minutes as cabins were cleared of the Venusian gas and debris from space. within the shuttles the first years would likely be agitated, many of them waiting impatiently, other dreading the moment the doors would open. It was a scene that hard repeated all day at this point one that the upperclassmen were forbidden from witnessing in person. the outer rings were to be sealed off for the next hour while first years were scanned into the systems given holo-maps of the academy and its city like sprawl and of course divided into their two teams. For the second, third, and fourth years the day was far less eventful but no less full of tension. They would awaken with their respective teams messaged to their PDP or personal data pads, and of course they would not have classes today as it was the last day of the three month winter truce where the war was postponed and a semblance of normalcy could exist. with the teams being scrambled many find their old friends as enemies for this years war and tomorrow the battles begin. All across the island stress grows and friendships are strained by the coming challenges, however just as many new alliances grow. those who were enemies last year now find themselves forced to stand shoulder to shoulder and with the aegis barrier to be opened for the outward push in only five years the time for failures and repeating years is gone. however it is not just stress and tension that is palpable and permeates the air around the academy, divine energy has reached a level not seen in all of the academies history as never before have so many legends occupied the floating city at one time. thousands of first years came in today, around two thousand second years are here, just over 700 third years, and 300 4th years, the total number is just over ten thousand. Media and government officials swarm the floating city all over seeking new first years and their favorite upperclassmen to harass and possibly try to negotiate with them, with things so hectic a lot can happen...
Hector
A sigh escaped his lips as he stoop atop the great libraries tallest spire where he could see clearly across to the outer ring where the first years were being unloaded. today had started off genuinely crappy, he found out he was on the opposing team to Anita which sucked, but worse than that they were both selected as leaders making the past three years of his life seem like a waste to him. after all there was no way their relationship would be able to continue as it had been, not with them basically being put in competition with one another. suddenly his instincts would cause the hair on the back of his neck to stand up and sure enough he spotted the massive spear flying at him fast enough that he hadn't heard its sonic boom yet. He pinched the bridge of his nose as three powerful arms erupted out of an arrangement of three portals shaped like a triangle, the arms caught the spear flexing hard as the force reverberated through them. shortly afterwards he threw the spear back to where it came from only to watch as a sward of ravens intercepted it then drifted next to him forming into a tall young man with an eye patch and his spear shining in his hand beside him. "i hope your ready hector today is the day i wi-" he started but hector cut him off with a brisk. "Not today Gerald...just...not today alright." he sounded tired and frustrated enough that his tall friend seemed to relent quickly. " alright alright, Geez man you look like crap today..." he looked desperately for anything to change the subject before he asked "any good recruits this time around?" Gerald said as he started to lean against the spear lazily. "not that i can tell, there are way to many to differentiate their aura's, none really stand out...yet." he said happy to be thinking about something else but he was quickly dragged back into his grump moments later when his other fourth year friend Molly showed up, her sandals fluttering as the light like aura faded off of her, neither man had seen her arrive, but neither was surprised by this fact. "The message was delivered hector, and before you ask no i dont know if she read it or not." she said flatly as she joined the other two in watching the shuttles unload the first years. "any good picks?" she asked nearly mirroring geralds question. hector sighed once again before saying "we will find out later, lets go grab some chow, i think the tea house should be open now." as the last words left his lips he simply walked off the edge of the tall tower he stood on, several hands interweaving to catch him below as several other gently slowed his decent. the ball of light beat him to the streets, and the swarm of ravens were shortly behind the light. by the time his foot touched the ground they had assumed their human forms again and the three fourth years wandered to the tea house three miles down the empty road.
Anita
The shouts of fury could be heard throughout the entire luxury hotel "THAT SPINELESS BASTARD WAS TO SCARED TO TELL ME TO MY FACE?!? IM GONNA KILL HIM, THAT MULTIARMED SOCIAL IDIOT DIES THIS YEAR!" Anita said storming out of her room with a pout
on her face. "I told you that guy was no good...way to serious for a gal like you, you need someone more li-"the third year named john started "STUFF IT JOHN! GO CHASE YOUR TAIL OR SOMETHING. " she interrupted him as she continued down the corridor and he followed, more joining them as they marched. "Ma'am the last of the first years have arrived perhaps you would like to send a delegation to meet them and gather the underworld team members?" the young woman named Ashley dressed in a black leather dress with both skulls and flowers in her hair said. finally as they made it to the lobby Anita breathed deeply before addressing Ashley. "No...no ill go myself, we can take them to the underworld banquet hall have the kitchen start the feast and send someone to find me a few buses. hectors dumbass is probably gonna make his team march on some macho crap, so we will have ours relaxed and as happy with their new digs as possible." she seemed to catch a glint in her eye as she thought about besting hector which caused ashley and john to swap worried looks. Anita paid them no min d however continuing out of the hotels lobby and climbing in the car she had waiting. ashley would get in with her and john would also attempt to do so but would be stopped by Anita "who did you think i was talking to when i mentioned the buses silly? go on, you can meet us at the banquet hall." she said as the door closed and the car drove off. John just chuckled a bit before turning to walk towards the car port while pulling out his PDP and messaging the Roadmaster A.I.
Riley
As he exited the shuttle riley scoffed, so this was the place that was supposed to offer him challenges beyond what he had ever faced. it certainly didnt look like much. a ritzy floating city on venus could hardly be as bad as the slums of earth. his thoughts were only further reinforced by the first years around him. "geez look at all these teary eyed fodder." he said with a cynical tone. "Right, so much more honest then the "trying to act brave" fodder like yourself." a high pitched voice said from behind him causing him to turn to eye Bork with hated fury. "watch your mouth pork chop, i havent eaten yet." Riley growled. bork simply ignored the ornery kid walking past him and saying "move on derpdrop, we gotta go get some of those personal data pads the brochure mentioned, then we get our schedules, then we can go eat." the mention of food seemed to be accompanied by the small pig starting to salivate. "Yeah whatever bacon bit im gonna hurry up so i can tell the kitchen staff to keep you out." Riley chided with a smirk as he sprinted to the nearest kiosk. " YOUD BETTER NOT YOU JEEERRRRKKKK." the tiny pig shouted as it beat it hooves on the oavement following riley into the crowd...
