Herbert, Auditorium

"...it's fine. I'll just move somewhere else." He grumbled and was about to do just that when a couple of things happened.

Someone loud and bombastic - two someones, but the minotaur guy had stolen the show - came in, Louisa suddenly became an eye-searing light and the flames from said minotaur only punched a final nail into the coffin. The Red Rider screeched and violently turned back, curled up on his bike. "You fucking hamburger...!" He croaked, slamming his fist into the seat of H.G. Wells.

It was clear that this creature of the night loathed light in any form. "Sonofabitch... daylight heroes, fuck's sake..." He mumbled, more to himself than to others as he slowly uncurled and just decided to leave the crowd with a screech of his bike's tires. He made sure to be as far from both Louisa and the cow as possible.

"I suppose that's true enough. But there is some matter of import to such things." She said with a smile and a nod as Sabrina turned. "Oh, and My name is Camellia, not Carm-" She tried to correct, but the other girl had walked off before she could do so.

KEU - Auditorium

Camellia had put on her suit as had been instructed, but she had kept the mask/hood off so that her interactions with fellow students would be more personable.

At the moment, she was trying not to stare at Basilio again. Frankly, it was proving quite difficult to do so. Especially when Louisa had fallen to the ground and started her own fireworks display. This time, instead of simply staring, she walked over and gave a greeting to try and break the ice, skirting past the screeching midget. "Umm...is he going to be okay?" She asked as she looked at Herb.

KEU Auditorium Entrance, Lousia Miriam and Camellia

Guitaurus bowed to the mass of students listening to his jam, some clapping and cheering, some trying to ignore it, but he wasn't booed of the stage like what happened when he got this form, this was good. His first performance in a while even if it was for barely a minute, to be cheered on by an audience again was a feeling Bove was longing for ever since he left The Chargers, about a year and a half now. It was almost catharsis for him, until the scared girl beside him talked to him and got him out of his trance. He spoke to her in a smooth slightly arrogant way that seemed weird to be coming out of the same mouth that just a few minutes ago spoke in such a friendly and calm manner in the school plaza. Nontheless his smooth deep echoing voice was made for this character.

"That's natural, not everyone can handle my bass right in their face kiddo! If I melted you with my awesometastic fiery rock, it's only natural!" His horn sign turned into closed fist in the air, his right hand starting to reach towards the string of his guitar before stopping. He stood regularly, just holding his guitar "Inferno Guitaurus is my name, one you'll never forget once I knocked your socks off" Suddenly bas inspected his "victim" in search of any actual injuries he could've made. Though he did not show it at all, he was scared a bit about using his powers so freely like this. He talked to Louisa again, his tone slightly more gentle than before though still it was still mostly the same voice.

"But eh, you're okay right kid? Can't hurt my audience you know, that's not right, I'll try not to do that to you if you can't handle my moves"

Suddenly Camellia appeared and asked him about the little man in the motorcycle who seemed to be riding away from them. Basil stared in the direction of the vehicle. Scratching his head, he was unsure of what to say.

"Well, I eh…"

Basilio hesitated, unsure of what to say he took a couple seconds of silence before continuing his response. "He just needs to breathe after my performance, it happens, and if he's riding on that sweet motorcycle he's probably alright, yeah..."

The Tauren turned his eyes towards the scientist, gained back his confident performance voice and spoke. "Anyway, as I said, I'm Inferno Guitaurus Superhero GOD of Bass And Fire, and you three are?" He looked at Louisa, Miriam and Camellia.

"Hey, cowboy, please be quiet." Someone said as they tapped Bas on the shoulder, their voice was filtered through an electric moderator. It was a man clad in red and white armor.

"Like, seriously man-I'm a fan of music, but you just scared the shit out of several students and one of them ran off." The armored man continued, looking up at the bull through a slightly glowing red visor.

Neil covered his face as all the commotion started, and Louisa went bright like the sun. "Well there goes my powers for at least 10 minutes... Oh well..." He stared at Louisa as she started to dim down, sighing as she did so. "Are you at least all right, glowstick?" He asked with a mix of irritation and... Was that actually some form of caring in his voice?

KEU: Auditorium.

"Ah, I understand completely. The world itself is a stage, it's perfectly understandable for some to be nervous when there's other actors and an audience with their eyes expecting quite a performance." The Masked Man nodded, sounding somewhat sympathetic.

...Of course, with Paragon's loud announcement on his arrival, he couldn't help but folds his arms and tilt his head. ...Yes, he was certainly loud and flashy, yet...it still lacked a bit of flair. Although whether what was criticism for it being a little...basic or him quietly muttering that if this was taking place in the evening, he would've...well, he was, regretting on the timing, although considering that Red Rider had nearly clipped him as he was trying to move away from the light show...

"Do watch where you're going, for goodness sake..."

KEU Auditorium

Velita has to clamp the sides of her helmet down at the entrance of the Minoguitarist. She shakes her head, takes a deep breath, and rocks on her feet again. "Y-You kn-know...I wonder if the Headmaster's gonna make a speech this year..."

She may have looked squeamish for a second, but it seems to have passed.

Suzu had arrived fairly on into the affair, it didn't exactly take her long to get ready for this, she mostly dropped her things off, got changed and headed back. However, just like before she was sticking behind her robot, behind its legs, and the show Guitaurus had put on did not help her feel any more at ease. Even though she was in full costume, which consisted of a kimono that had metal plates over her tail and some spots on her back, painted in black white and blue like her robot..... she was still quite nervous, she was going to need something to help with that. Thankfully she had just the thing, clutching a handheld game in her left hand, she waited, mentally preparing herself for any kind of debut they might have.

KEU Auditorium

Serena shrugged again. "I'm not nervous, pretty boy. People in general just kinda annoy me."

She then made a face at her sister, somewhere between fond and annoyed.

"Oh, come on, big sis. No need to try to baby me with words."

Meanwhile, the still blushing Louisa hid her face in her cape so much that it looked like she had a towel wrapped on her head.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I was just startled. I'm so sorry for worrying you!" She mumbled to Bas and Neil, her voice coming out a little muffled.

She then peeked out slightly from her cape to reply to Mariam.

"Oh, um, well...I, um, think a Hero, by definition serves as an inspiration. No matter who you are, no matter what you can do, um, as long as you do what you do for everyone, helping people, giving hope...it doesn't matter if you're a "daytime hero" or not."

She smiled shyly. "And, um, I think you'll make a great hero, Mariam. W-well, um, that's what I think. I'm so sorry!"

She hid her face behind her cape again.

At that moment, the students closest to the doors would see them start cracking open.

It seems it was time to go in.

And once they do, they would find themselves in a large room, with a stage at the far end. A giant screen sat, turned off, on stage. Cameras were perched on the wall.

But what was strange was that there were no seats or chairs or anything.

And the windows...the windows were tightly shut and metal plates covered them.

There was no one there, and no sound other than the humming of the AC.

Hope that big guy doesn't get in too much trouble for stuff like that

Behind his goggles, Soma raised an eyebrow, but whatever it was he thought he saw when he turned his attention back to Velita wasn't there for long, maybe he'd just imagined it. "Seems like there's a good chance of it, but who knows?"

He shrugged nonchalantly, then looked around again wondering if everyone was here, it ought to be starting any minute now.... "Hey, the doors are opening up" he said before following her and the crowd inside.

Inside Auditorium

"...You know, this looks more like an abandoned warehouse than an auditorum now that we're here..." he glances at the windows, what was the point of having windows if they were gonna be sealed off like that? "Or maybe... I dunno. Looks like someone might be observing things though" he added a little quieter as looked to one of the cameras on the wall before looking around again

And thats when the doors opened, Suzu slid her handheld into one of her outfits ties, then grabbed onto Susanoo carrying handle, raised her right foot onto a back panel and stopped halfway through climbing onto its back. as she could begin to see inside, Susanoo's eye began to pan side to side as the machine double-checked what its master was feeling.

"T-There is no one in there?" The young woman questioned to any one else who had yet to walk through the doors, honestly a bit relived that she wasn't having to deal with any kind of crowds.

"I simply thought it'd be best to just make sure, is all. We've only just met, so I'm not likely to know the quirks of your character, as it were, Miss Serena. You'd still like some time in the " The Extravagant Enigma calmly replied, although the 'Pretty Boy' remarks were starting to as they stepped into the Auditorium proper...

...Although the slightly oppressive and possibly foreboding atmosphere simply caused the tuxedo-wearing youth to give a flick to his top-hat to keep it in place as small, if radiant sparkles to dance and flicker...although it the auditorium was fairly well lit already, there wouldn't be much of a difference than before.

"Well as long as you're alright." Neil said in response to Louisa as they began to filter into the Auditorium.

"So... I assume your bright outlook on life is the reason why your grandfather assigned you to babysit me, Glowstick?" He said as he waited for something to actually happen.

"I don't like this..." mumbled Serena, glaring at the empty auditorium.

She glanced at her sister, frowning.

"Sis, can you get the meatsack somewhere safe? I'm going to shadow up."

And with that, Serena closed her eyes and something dark and swirling started to appear on her chest...and then a shadowy hand emerged from inside her body, followed by arms, a head...

Finally, the Shadow from before emerged completely from Serena's body, its form flickering agitatedly.

Louisa gave Neil the smallest of nods, her posture tense and her body glowing a bit brighter than usual.

"Um, partly that, partly because we're in the same class, and um, partly because Grandpapa wanted me to stop being scared of people so much. Um, sorry." She mumbled.

Cautiously entering the Auditorium, Crackdown kept his shotgun at the ready, anticipating some sort of double cross or attack (that was how you tested superheroes, right?). Eventually eyeing the cameras planted on the walls, Daniel's mind slowly shifted away from this being an attack from robots or whatever and more into a potential battle royale situation. He wasn't expecting it to be lethal or anything, but he wasn't looking forward to potentially getting beaten on.

Calling out to no one in particular, Crackdown asked "Anyone got a flashlight?"

Martin entered into the room and looked around, it was apparent that this was some sort of trap, possibly to test new students response times. So long as no one became trapped he wasn't too worried about pulling off a winning performance if that happened to be the case, but at the same time it had him a bit worried. His strength came from the good he did, so he would endeavor to keep his eyes and ears open and protect everyone in the room. "Interesting!" he called out with a bright smile on his face, looking around at the various other heroes in training. "Some sort of test or just horrible interior decorating.?" he laughed loudly and grinned

"Atash—oh my god." It took Cassie a few seconds to get Suzu's confusion, but she immediately started shaking with restrained laughter at it. "That's really clever! Holy crap! I never thought of that. That's probably also unintent—"

And then the announcement hit, and again in response Cassie just growled out "Motherfuckerrrrrr..."

"I'll look you up. We should figure out a time to interview." Cassie said to Suzu, fixing her with an intense and focused look before striding off. She added lacie underscore 0202 to all of her social medias, and shot a text to her over Twitter: Yo, it's Cassandra, the girl with the camera. Let's figure out something.


KEU Auditorium

"Hey, give us a good pose!" Cassie had in fact still brought the DMX413RUNDMC-612SHYGDDT to the event, and strafed the shiny girl and her new entourage. Clearly a good site for drama and a hot group to watch in the immediate future. Louisa. Sky-High Divider's outfit was pretty simple: just a fencing outfit with purple and white detailing, sleeves turned to arm warmers and the visor slashed open, but that let her still operate the camera.

And then the bull went for the powerslide. Hearing something coming from behind her, Cassie acted as she always did: she skipped it. One second she was there, and then for two seconds she wasn't. From her perspective and from the camera's it was just a cut, and she was back in place like nothing happened. She stayed relatively passive and actually took a knee for more stability as more folks started filing in and setting up, getting more announced presences all on film. She in particular sighted Suzu once again, and got a nice detailed pan up her as she made her entrance, and once again as she climbed into the mech. Neat.

Sky-High Divider approached the mech, still filming from the hip, and knocked on the leg. "Good to see you again Suzu. Glad to have you behind me." She swung the camera up to get some good angles on the machine, then walked ahead of her, again still filming. "Keep an eye out for me, I might need to footstool off of you soon if folks are right about this being a setup."

Neil let out another sigh, thinking to himself as he was doing it that he sure was sighing a lot today. Must be the people he's around. "There isn't a reason to be apologizin, glowstick. That may be the first step you need to take. Don't really let people walk over ya, ya know?"

Neil looked around the darkness, a bit dissatisfied. "Yeah no, I don't like this. This is too weird."

"Relax, I'm not babying you, Ree.", Jules replied, fully clad in her outfit as Miss Machina.

At that moment, the auditorium opened, prompting Jules to wheel in her sister along with her. But it seemed oddly...empty and barren.

"Huh? Where are all the seats? Do they have something planned for us?", she pondered.

"Man, but I hope we actually have a system or something because otherwise this could get messy."

T.E.E was slightly unnerved to say the least, getting a proper look what Serena was capable of was...unsettling and with it flickering, he was hesitant to try and use his own Gift, although the call for a flashlight got his attention.

Mariam paused, clearly taken aback. Then she surged forward and and grabbed both of Louisa's hands, shaking vigorously.

"You'll go far thinking like that!" she said, grinning. "But don't get me wrong, I do like my style. It's nobody's but mine."

Mariam let go, cleared her throat, and flipped her hair. She gave Bas a glance of acknowledgement.

"Hot Stuff, the volcanic rock heroine. Remember the name."

She turned towards Bas as she took steps towards the gradually opening auditorium door, making a sort-of bunny ears gesture with her hands next to her horns to make them more obvious.

"Suppose we've got something in common?" she said.


KEU Auditorium

Mariam continued to sashay into the auditorium, coming to a stop at the back of the crowd and pushing her way forward using her height advantage. She quickly glanced around, her own look of confusion matching everyone else's, and weighed in her mind whether to armor up or not.

In a few scant seconds, Hot Stuff filled the grooves of her armor with scales of sleek black rock, adding bulk and armor to her form stretching from her legs to the tips of her fingers.

"At least the AC's on," she said. "Wouldn't want to be uncomfortable when we're jumped by whatever's in store for us."

Dakota had been there the entire time. He had shuffled along with the rest of the student body as they finally entered, having changed into his costume at some point or another. The mark on his hand had his undivided attention - where did it come from? Was someone playing a prank? Was it a weird power that would have disastrous consequences (placed on him as a prank)? - but luckily the presence of his gloves had turned his gaze elsewhere.

Now he was simply sitting by his lonesome, feet propped up on his little carry-bag, with a special tiny notebook in his hands. The attached pen tapped rapidly against the paper as Dakota looked around the room. Something was happening...just that he wished it'd happen sooner.

Suzu nodded to Cassie and put her left hand on Susanoo's back, on command the large machine began trudging inside the auditorium carrying her with it on its back. "I ummmm, might not be the best one to ask for that... sorry" she replied back as she headed in "controlling Susanoo in any thing more then a simple path takes a lot of focus, and really I have trouble even watching over myself while I do.... sorry" not letting this dissuade her though she continued on... looking back briefly to see Serena staying outside.... That woman sure had the best idea here, but what if this wasn't a trap? In that case she would need to be present with Susanoo, the machine wasn't exactly able to do any kind of social commitment on its own.
