"Cats are mean little buggers. Speaking as a live-long cat holder and lover." Manu said, head tilted at Liam for a moment. "And my guy in the tailoring club is pretty good. I sometimes help him present his stuff." The fact that he's about as straight as a sinus curve is helping that without it becoming awkward or making my mother start carving names in bullets she admitted to herself.
"And a Mascot is...there to cheer up people. present school pride. Possibly bite the enemy quarterback in the shin if we loose. I'm flexible in the last part."
"You can reply to this Message!""That, hon, w-will get you three vials and f-five bucks to spare," Anne smirked a little and produced two more vials of buzzing white electricity and handed them off to the freshman, took the three twenties, and exchanged her a five dollar bill from her own pocket. "Maybe you c-can put it towards a 'p-property damage jar'."
What hell have I just unleashed onto this world.
Nadya and Anfisa giggle to each other as Anfisa pockets the five dollar bill and Nadya grabs the vials. "Here, help us figure out how to use this!" Nadya says as she grabs Anne's hand and walks her out of the science lab, then heads over to the cafeteria entrance, Anne in tow and Anfisa following. "Ok, so, if I wanted to use the liquid lightning, here, to shoot a lightning bolt into the cafeteria over everyone's heads, what would I do?"
"Ah—um—w-wait!"
Oh dear. Annette grimaced as she was dragged along the hall. Maybe she should have made the vials too expensive to detour the freshman. Or maybe she could just...run. Now. Before anything else happens. But Anne stood right next to Nadya and Anfisa, looking into the cafeteria for a moment. Oi. Run. Now.
"W-weeeell...I believe if y-you just open one of the vials, the l-lightning in it can b-be called upon by your hammer...or y-you could try dumping it onto th-the hammer. I d-don't know much about, um, that k-kind of thing."
Why am I not running?
...because I want to see if she can do it. Goddammit adrenaline.
Nadya grins, opening one of the vials and dumping a bit of the lightning juice onto the end of her hammer, then spinning it around over her head once before pointing it at the other side of the cafeteria over everyone's heads and yelling, "STRIKE!"
CRACK!
Lightning arcs across the room hitting where Nadya pointed, thunder rumbling in the cafeteria. Nadya stumbles back a bit and Anfisa catches her. She looks to Anne and says, "Damn, that is awesome. Totally worth every penny."
Colby returned to his lab with a box of actual pizza in hand instead of that abomination of veganness that the school called pizza. Mostly in the sense that soy cheese was an abomination that never should have been created. The tofu meat substitute wasn't much better for that matter.
He blinked when he saw the place in quite a bit of disarray with orange dust scattered everywhere.
"...Oh dear. I hope Anne didn't actually explode herself finally."
That's when the resounding boom of thunder came from the cafeteria.
"Oh, it appears she's decided to explode the food instead."
He placed the pizza down on his desk, before taking a brisk walk towards the cafeteria. Partially to make sure no one was hurt, but mostly in hopes that something was on fire.
Click Click Boom BoomAnnette shouldn't have grinned as wide as she did at that. That was reckless and could have really hurt somebody. She may as well as given Nadya a bomb and gone "go nuts". But...it worked. And it made such a nice, loud, alive sound and made the whole cafeteria smell like a storm for just a moment. She could appreciate that, at least.
Oh, who am I kidding.
"Th-that was pretty f-fucking cool," she snickered, then peeked into the cafeteria from around the door frame, "...you d-didn't hit anyone, right? I'm n-not being held responsible if anyone f-fries."

Nadya grins at her, "It doesn't look like anyone got hurt!" Anfisa gives Nadya a look, then Nadya sighs and adds, "And thank you for the lightning."
Anfisa nods and says, "Now you're like that Thor kid we took the hammer from, but better cause you're a girl." Having said that, Anfisa kisses Nadya, briefly.

"What could you possibly use a mascot for? Especially when it's that wimpy."
Still not embarrassing enough to stan billionaires or tech companies.
