Pool
Mike had told everyone about the pool and was hanging out in front outside of it, waiting for the others to arrive and trying to get a good glimpse of how tight the security was around here and to gauge how risky of an endeavor might be. He really hoped Liam had come through with the marijuana and the alcohol and hoped that his friends from his old school woudl get here at a reasonable hour.

Rosalinda refused to take part in the self-indulgent, hedonistic, and decadent display of capitalism. Instead, she decided to do something more productive. She went to the Training Ground and signed up for practicing time.
Where there's life, there's hope.
Where am I? What's going on?
Pool
Rebecca’s excitement for the upcoming party had only multiplied when she heard that it would be a pool party. Sure, she wouldn’t be able to actually swim, but she had spent the last couple weeks getting into hero shape, and she couldn’t help but want to show off a little. Besides, it was a chance to break out her new bikini.
As such, Rebecca was bikini-clad and ready to party as she approached Mike outside the pool. Huh. She might be a little early.
“So, when is everyone else getting here?”
Liam basically handled the stuff Mike wasn't handling as they'd orchestrated - he had the contacts ready and raring to go. If worst came to worst, he could use some of his fund to pay for any repairs or mess that was incurred.
He remembered what Mike said about DJ duty, Lets hope he's a capable hand, and not Jake Paul-tier terrible with music.
Liam's contact showed up with the beer and marijuana - the guy was a shifty fella named Andre who Liam had become associated with over his wilder school days before attending this academy. Andre was a good person, just apparently came from a rather dark place, or so he said himself. The Argentinian dropped off the stuff at Liam's room, and stated, "Remember, don't burn the place to the ground kid, this is a superhero academy."
Liam just nodded as usual and gave Andre his money - and that was what their relationship came down to at least at the start.
Before long Liam came out to meet with Mike about the party - the pool was apparently one of the areas not to be fucked with, and he was not looking forward to testing that based on how there was apparently an army of killer robots under the school.
"Are we really gonna try and use the pool out here? Wouldn't we have a better time partying down at the dorm? I mean, maybe we need to make sure the pool's safe..." It was not often Liam was the voice of reason, and he disliked being it, but if he had to...
He didn't really catch the implication of making sure the pool was safe.
"...Still, at least Cousin Alexander and his freaking crystals are not at this one."

Dorms- Night
In the end, Hei ended up staying at the Dorms while the other students partied. Large crowds, music and drinks weren’t his thing, unless he was trying to pickpocket partygoers. And that was off the table now that he was trying to become a Hero...even if it would be so easy...
Yeah, it’s probably better if I stayed in the dorms. Hei thought to himself, before thinking about what to occupy his time with.
My room’s set up, I could explore the dorm...and avoid another mishap like what happened with Rebecca now that everyone’s gone, or...
Hei recalled seeing a partially completed painting inlucy, room, but didn’t get to check it out before Matten appeared. Now was as good a time as ever to check it out.
Seconds later, Hei stepped out of a large shadow in Lucy & Ever’s dorm room, treading carefully in order to silence his footsteps. Silver irises flickered around the room, noting that Ever was out and Lucy was asleep. Hei made a mental note to keep as quiet as possible, not wanting to wake his friend (yes, Lucy was someone he felt close enough to call friend), and moved closer to the painting. Even total darkness, Hei could see its details as if it were in broad daylight, and that was why he had to suppress a gasp.
That’s me...Lucy was painting me. Hei leaned closer to the painting, taking in the details. This...this is... A flurry of emotion churned in his gut: happiness, astonishment, and some others he couldn’t quite decipher. Several tentacles emerged from the darkness and gingerly picked up the canvas painting off the easel, where it remained as the umbrakinetic was lost in thought .
It looks amazing...but who is this for? I’d love to have it, but...where would I put it? My room? No, too obvious. I’m not supposed to be stealing anymore but this is amazing and I can’t hide it anywhere aaaaaaaa.....

The face was still staring at her.
She woke up again, much less violently this time, making to sit up in bed before freezing as she noticed a presence standing in her room.
She squinted through the darkness, only to let out an involuntary squeak of surprise as she realised who it was.
"H-Hei...?"
She was sure her face was as red as a tomato right now. Wait a second, was he...
He was looking at the canvas.
Dully, she noted that the face had vanished from it, before the full implications hit her like a freight train.
She inwardly screamed with distress, but made no indication of her shock on the outside. Instead she just sat there, frozen.
They would surely be quite the pair to any outside observer.

Again... Matten noted the familiar flaring of distress from a familiar room, but, Not my problem this time. Kid Ivy is there.
Nonetheless, it took some of the gleam from her handiwork. Distressful auras weren't so pleasant when she wasn't the cause. And Lucy's kept wafting over, drowning out the big nothing that Matten had surrounded herself with. Nothing left, not even archaea... She felt pride first and foremost, but..that really wasn't her intended action. The radius could have been much greater as well.
Matten raised her mirror long after she felt company. Not completely unnecessary. Ever hadn't been the one to call out twice, but she recognized her reflection linked with her feel. Matten stood on one toe and turned smartly to face her pursuer.
"That's much more a fun with a rod," Matten commented ignoring the approaching girl that she'd turned to face only a moment prior. "Now I am getting a rod. Oh," she finally returned to regard Ever, "Did I wake you? Or did your bunk mate send you?"
Maybe out of bone? Matten returned to her new project, only half-attentive to Ever. She raised her arm, stopping just after fracturing the thing and letting out a 'whoop'. That would take all night, and this is the perfect excuse to visit the lab. Still... she gazed at the exposed bone. I like that color already!

Alright wow. Ever had a whole mess of questions. What are you doing? Why are you doing it? Why where you in our room? Unfortunately Ever asked all these before she remembered that her vocal chords weren't running and she was just aggressively blowing air as she flapped her lips about.
Forming her vocal chords and calming down some Ever tried again, "Matten, why where you in our room, and what were you doing? Also, what are you doing?"

Not missing a beat and grinning, Matten answered before Ever had actually finished repeating herself. "I heard you the first time," hand on hip she continued, "Salutations and regards to you too, but I thought you were here to visit me. Well, I suppose you did come all this way."
Matten toyed with her fractured limb, shaking her arm and watching the broken forearm dip and bubble. Slowly, she worked on the flesh affected. Bone work really is an all-nighter. "Also, your Matten keeps busy, right now with a little craftsmanship. I might have asked Mikael for help with a composite bow, but he seems to be antsy about something. Do you think ivory is a good color for me? Or should I go with bronze or cold iron?"

Ever looked over Matten's handiwork. She might have been mad, had grass cared whether it lived or died."Well Matten you've answered the unimportant question no2 and answer the important one. Why were you in our room? Oh, and definitely ivory."

Oliver rounded the corner back toward the Training Room, seeing Rosalinda walk in. He entered the room behind her, letting the closing of the door announce him.
"Hey Rosalinda, I was just practicing against a robot, I can pack up if you need me to."
Brenner's Wolves Fight Again
Rosalinda looked at Oliver. She did not realize he was in the same room until then.
"You're... Oliver? No, there is no need to. Proceed as usual."
Where there's life, there's hope."That's me, feel free to join me, if you want. I could probably use the help." He walked to the console and turned the big robot back on, and tried his hand again.

Rosalinda pulled out her handgun.
"Actually, I won't be using the ReliKON today. Instead, this will be all the help you'll get. I'm warning you, I'm not good at it."

"Your asking me about my activity was unimportant was it...?" Matten frowned, walking past the persistent girl, and approaching shurbs that had only partly wilted. "Thanks for your suggestion." She mixed her approach, alas, the shrubbery browned and collapsed under Matten's attention. Well, that's better...
Without looking back, she added, "And your bunk mate needs warm milk. No, I'm not here of all places to retrieve any. Nothing of concern happened in your room either." In so many ways. Bozo's favorite is reserved even in her sleep..
She turned smartly making a slight namaste before returning to her departure equally quickly. "I give my apologies. I'll certainly be more discerning in the future. The grounds are all yours to decorate of course. Bare, dead earth isn't for everyone."

Breath of the Sun
Pool
Mikael, clad in shorts and his fur coat (open, with no shirt, showing off his scarred chest), showed up as Liam was voicing his doubts.
"Bit late to be having second thoughts, Liam." He spoke up. "And I'm pretty sure they wouldn't let us party at the dorms. Wouldn't be surprised if Interceptor had cameras set up in the bathrooms, to be honest. He seems like a fairly paranoid man." Like my grandfather, Mikael thought, though he didn't say it out loud. Then the young hunstman saw Rebecca.
"...are you actually planning to go swimming? You know that chlorine makes things clean and sterile, ja?"
What is so amusing about this? Why do you take lives? How can you forget?

Ever narrowed her eyes as Matten dodged the question once more, this time dismissing it. She was never going to get anywhere with this girl was she?
"Fine. Goodnight Matten. I'll put some flowers or something down in the morning."
Ever slowly moved back to the front of the dorms and went back inside, still clearly dissatisfied with Matten's answer.

And then he got punched into the wall again.
Liam sighed, Mikael had a point about not partying at the dorms - and about this being a bit too late to be voicing any doubts. The partiers would probably be here soon and there couldn't afford to be any arguing or bad stuff going on that could harsh on their cool.
He then looked at Mike and asked, "...think you take the first dip into the pool just to be sure?"

Aaand saved. Sam was typing on his laptop. Enjoying the silence in the first floor, he decided to write something up. Maybe he'll let this dwelling on his files, but it's fun and lets him try something new.
After that, he checked a few songs he was trying to learn, and sent a few mails he was due to answer.
A sigh came from his lips.

"!"
Rosalinda flinched when she saw Oliver flying to the wall. The robot winded up its fist again and tried to punch her. However, it was a very telegraph strike and Rosalinda was able to dodge it with a simple side step.
She pointed her gun at the robot and fired. The bullets hit the heat, which wasn't very hard, but they were rubber bullets against metal.
Where there's life, there's hope.Oliver slid down from the dent in the wall he'd been punched into. "Ow."
He drew his sword and ran towards the robot. "I wanna try something, check this out," he said, converting various energies into kinetic and light, and creating an extension of his sword, which took the form of a comically large hammer. He swung the hammer into the back of the robot's knees, knocking the bot down.
"I've been working on that. EMP's don't work on it- I don't know why-, or I'd make one."

"I got some friends coming later - they're pretty tight." Mike told Rebecca in response to her question about when others were getting here. When Liam volunteered Mike to check out the pool, the cocky youth laughed.
"Sure thing. Mike Barnes ain't scared of nothing!" Mike called out confidently before he hopped the fence and stripped down to his bathing suit. He gave his arms a good flex and made sure everybody present could get a good look at his biceps and well-toned abs that he'd gotten from years of football work. Then he cannonballed into the water without a care in the world apart from how to have a good time tonight.

Just as Mike cannonballed into the pool, a large group of young teens and whippersnappers could be seen making their way toward the pool, all dressed for the occasion and carrying various boxes full of various supplies and mind-altering substances.. They soon made it to their destination, and judging by just how full of energy they all were, they were ready to party.
Meanwhile, Mike started to feel a strange sensation on both sides of his neck. He placed his hand on it to be sure, but from what he could tell, there didn't seem to be anything there. At least not so far. Probably nothing to worry about. In any case, with all his friends there, it was time to PARTY!

Dorm: E&L
There was someone in the dorm with Lucy and Ever. A girl. She hadn't entered through the doors or windows. She was just there. Was it that Matten girl? Limberness returned to Ever's limbs as she slowly returned her eyes back to working order. The girl left before Ever had even stepped from her planter box. She moved as fast as she could (which was not that fast) towards the door and opened it. Nobody there. It was Matten.
Why was she in their room? Lucy seemed to have had a nightmare before. Was Matten checking on her? Did Matten give Lucy the nightmare? Ever didn't trust the girl overly much, too unpredictable. Everyone else she could reliably tell what they were going to do, but not Matten. Ever set about searching the plants for Matten's whereabouts, she meant to ask what exactly Matten was up to. It didn't take long. Matten was killing off a massive amount of grass.
Ever went back into her room closing the door with a soft click. Sluggishly making her way over to the window, Ever slide it opened and hopped out. Once more she landed on the lawn, this time landing in a crouch, rather than a face plant. Slowly rising and making her way to Matten. She hoped she would catch up. Ever was slower than normal and Matten could teleport.
...
Ever mentally noted not to challenge Matten to any sort of race.
