Alex, Infirmary Reception
Alex saw Fluffy's message and and came over as quickly as they could. They looked a bit more tired than usual after the days events.
"Oh, hi there Fluffy," they said. "Feels like its been a long day..."

Aghhhh...please... , Dante started looking around, ignoring the looks of everyone who was staring at him. He then looked at the hologrammic projection from Mr. Snow's cellphone.
Wha-WHAT?! Iona is apparently evil and crazy in another universe??!! And apparently, she doesn't know how to have decency... , Dante exclaimed surprised, then looked annoyed at the projection of "Mad Goddess Of Magic" Iona.
Then Mahvash decided to go to take a walk with Ever Green...they seem to best friends, aren't they?
Also Perry and Ryuu decided to start...a spirit comunication! How fascinating it was...
Also Jacob was the traitor, huh?
Well, they thankfully caught before he could do further damage....
Miss Sheperd then started to hand out some invitations to a meeting where they would share and disseminate information...interesting...

"A mech? That must be a sight." Ever opened the door and stepped into the hallway, hands held behind her back. "Must have been a powerful machine to justify the costs of enough materials to make it so large. Ah, remind me to introduce you to my brother once he's calmed down. I should think you'll get along swimmingly so long as he can't make heads or tails of your synapses."Edited by TopGof on Jan 21st 2019 at 11:40:59 AM

"Well, I hope he can tell my head from my tail," Mahvash said, unfurling a parasol. "I need a distinct set to torment people. Alas, making that boy beg for mercy was just not as pleasant as that room was miserable. What is your brother up to now?" She grew a salacious grin. "And did you ever do anything to Oliver?"
Arriving in the mecha's area, the machine remained in its own space; after all it dwarfed the RX-79 and took up alot of room. After some redecoration it no longer looked like a giant Nazi Gas Mask Mook but the remodeling left it mostly well, 'skin'-less. It seemed the techs were trying to replace the old look with a classic cape uniform, including an overgrown cape.
The daeva paid attention to her phone, but given present company only bothered to check it after showing Ever the mech. "...well, Felicity wants company. This had better not be about..." she gave all of a femtosecond to thinking about the girl's name. "that mage. The news footage has about as much to do with her as a CG does."
"Well," she clasped her hands together. "Accompany me to this little meeting? We can take the robot out for a fun and games later."

Surrounded by weirdoes
Squad 1
"And just when you think that that one was left behind us" Sam groaned, dismayed as the images of the Empress came back to him. There was a chance they'd have to deal with this evil Iona, and someone will suffer for it. Hopefully, it won't affect the real deal and her relationships too much when it happens.
"Tossing alternate versions is very low, anyway" He commented "Want to throw the version of Leon that's just a wannabe hairdresser to their faces?"
Squad 2
Ryuu looked completely terrified at the glaring beast, trying to steady himself, to not be intimidated.
"I am the Great Dragon Sorano" He announced, Ryuu flinched, as he felt a strong shake on himself '"I was trapped in this child by a fool"
"Yes, my dad" Ryuu said, annoyed. "I don't deny he was a fool to summon something way above his pay grade, but you are causing problems, man"
The glare felt through his bones.
"You are my prison. I demand release" Ryuu's eyes got more serious than they'd ever been.
"Hey, do you think I want that? But, like it or not, we are stuck till I die, and I am not planning on doing that anytime soon"
Oh, boy.
Wake me up at your own risk.
Shane - Squad 1
Shane leaned forward a little at the story and outright smiled. He honestly did not see Zach any differently for that. A jackass got what he deserved. "...huh. Well, in my opinion your dad got exactly what was coming to him. Hope you let him really enjoy the feeling of a pool of his own blood."
He then shrugged his shoulders and said, "Everything I said in there about my family is true. My dad, Jason, runs the business. Whenever there's a difficult terrorist or underling of a dictator the US really wants outta there, the Calstons get a call. The last big target was the son of a dictator who did all kinds of things - torture, mass murder, jailing suspected partisans until they died of starvation, forcing people into religious indoctrination camps...you know. So my dad went in, and made his head part ways with his body."
He did recall seeing the news on the internet and just grinning. Chewing off someone's head was a nasty way to go, but the guy in question was a downright nasty sort.
Up on Melancholy hill.
Zach - squad 1 - Outside
The way he smiled. He absolutely agreed that his father got what he deserved but he never reveled in the end result. The way he smiled and told him he hoped he suffered. His father was awful and he hated him, but never in his life would he ever think "I'm glad I did it, and would have made it worse."
So. Assassins, or sleeper agents or something else entirely, that was Shane's whole deal? Someone who could put on a happy and nice face and then shut it off when the situation was right, and do something unspeakable to someone that, admittedly, did deserve it? It was quite a thought, and-
He bristled.
Zach went frigid and his eyes went a little wide as he eyed Shane. The ink tightened around his body almost defensively, frozen for a moment before his body visibly relaxed...but the look was still there.
....I see. he wrote after a few seconds of silence. Well, frankly, I think that's all I need to know. Thank you Shane, for your trust worthiness and I hope to become better friends in the future.
A certain rigidity in his movements as he gave him one more curt nod of his head and spun around on his heel, walking away from Shane with no...real intent to go anywhere?
He just knew he needed to get the hell out of there.

Shane stood back up and nodded, smiling and putting his hands behind his neck, "Okay thanks, I am so glad I got to know someone from my Squad this well, bro. Maybe we can all get the Squad together for some stress relief this weekend! I know a really nice bowling joint."
He paused for a moment and seemed to observe the way Zach was moving, tapping one of his feet a little.
"...Yeah, I really look forward to getting to know you better as a friend. You sound like the exact kind of guy I'll get along with, maybe even hit the gym with. Thanks for the chat!"
And with that Shane started to walk off as well.

Outside Dorms – Squad 1
Yoko's ears twitched for the last time, before she let them flick back forward again upon hearing Zach's footsteps returning. She didn't say anything to call him over. Just gave him a long, pointed stare. It would be more than enough to get the message across though. Still, she stood up to meet him regardless.
“...I heard...” she began absently, fiddling with a few grass strands as she spoke. “...and to be honest, I'm already pretty biased. He smells of wolf. Like, seriously of wolf.”
She sighed as she released the now knotted strands and watched them spiral to the floor. “It's not fair, is it? When you think you know someone then they do something like that. Especially when they don't seem to care very much. Or at least barring themselves.”
Her words were direct and cutting when referenced to Shane, but there was an undercurrent of bitterness and reminiscence in her tone that implied that it wasn't as blunt as one would initially think.
“Zach-kun... I want you to know that you can trust me. I-I know I've probably said that a lot now, but... it hasn't always been a thing I've taken to heart. Not until recently. Like, past fifty years recently. It's a very important thing, but...”
She shook her head.
“Nevermind. All that said, are you okay? Do you need anything? Talk? Not... talk?” she asked anxiously, peering into his face in a worried manner.

Zach - Squad 1 - Outside
Zach almost jumped out of his skin when Yoko approached him, so long in his thoughts that he was ashamed he didn't sense her coming.
That's one word for it. Not fair. he wrote absentmindedly to her, listening to how he could trust her and what have you. He waited until she was done mumbling to herself, before he himself nodded slowly. Yeah.
I know I can trust you. And I'm sorry I kept my own secrets for as long as I did. I'm just...used to keeping that kind of stuff under wraps. It's not fair, I know. Trust me, I know, and I'll be more open and honest with you from now on. But there's...there's just something I finally figured out about him... he looked over his shoulder at Shane, as he began to walk off.
About how there was another side of him most people didn't know.
A friend to so many people but something darker to only a select few and capable of such casual, cruel destruction.
Capable of (In Zach's mind, likely fake) friendly outgoingness but be ruthless to the people you feel deserve it. The fact that he did what he did and did it with a smile and almost reminisced...
The fact that without trying, that smile, knowing what he knew now, reminded him of-
A slow shudder ran through his body as one hand reached over and grabbed at his other arm before releasing it after a moment.
He reminds me of my dad.

Squad 3 - Van / Infirmary
Van nodded along when Ash said that Gaea would pay for their atrocities - he would see to it. They had shown they were typical to the hate groups seen across the 20th century, and it was imperative that they be stopped here and now before things got well and truly out of control...
...And Perry quite handily halted the drama on hand by inquiring about his status and whether he was some sort of living ghost.
He outright chuckled at the girl's choice of words, "No no, I'm not a living ghost, I'm a vampire. Although..." He contemplated, wondering if she was detecting his Familiars somehow, "...I do have a number of ghost-like creatures at my disposal."

"Sor-an-o...Is a good name," Perry decided. "If I give you beef jerky, will please not be angry?"
She held the pack of jerky (that Karl's uncle had given her) up with both hands. "Is good for body!" she said, and smiled up at the huge dragon encouragingly, then turned to talk to Van, still holding the jerky up.
"We not talk lot, huh! Have lot of question. Like, how are you? Are you okay? Do your friends have name? Do you like kittens? You know, important things!"

Classroom 1 - Felicity Shepherd (Squad 4)
"Hey, Alex. Yeah, it's been..."
As various members of the other squads trickled in for Felicity's discussion, Felicity shared with them all that she learned and picked up from the library and her confrontation with Jacob. Some of her key points of information were:
- From Dawn's research, Gaea had no public readily available public information in spite of being one of the few allowed to observe during the Hero License exams. No staff listings, no articles about them, not even a blurb about what the company does, what products or services they provide. It was troubling but also useful information, as record gaps tell a lot about what a company wants to keep hidden - and Gaea seems to want everything hidden, which is highly suspect.
- One of the primary reporters who were writing the slander pieces was a freelancer by the initials E.I.F. (At some pushing, Felicity divulged the name he went by, Ep Ic Fail.) He's published several of the initial articles to come out without prior reference to earlier articles and seems to be at least one of the point persons for receiving the leaked footage Gaea was presumably behind. He was a member of the former anti-empowered human supremacy group Human Revolution which was eventually dissolved. Said group was headed up by:
- Leon Leopold. Considering he was the Saint's arch-nemesis and just today personally attacked Saint Academy, he didn't need much introduction. However, of important note was that though many records were scrubbed in regards to whereabouts of the former members of Human Revolution, the ones Felicity could trace eventually led to prior or current employment with Gaea. However, if he attacked SA personally then it was likely he wasn't the one in charge of the slander campaign and someone else is behind him.
- Just from what they already knew, Gaea has access to a fair amount of technology, especially advanced technology given what they lent to their hit squad today. Magic as well, and they weren't above manipulating the metahuman population and the ordinary population to achieve their ends, which currently seemed to be bending the public opinion of metahumans to the negative. Whether or not this was an ideological aim or simply a means to a further end is yet unknown but at the moment it didn't particularly matter as the results were the same. Oh, also the access to parallel universe traversal, that was important too.
As for evidence, Felicity thumped the books she had on the table - various journals, articles, magazines, etc. that traced the details bouncing back and forth, along with her notes on where to find said details. Her phone having recorded the whole (audio of the) confrontation with Jacob, she also had evidence of Jacob essentially confessing that he was working with Gaea to kill them. Not to mention the entire intact suit of armor of his gifted to Armada to dissect and discover its secrets.
As for steps forward:
- There were two ways to go about EIC's slander campaign - distribute the information of his connections to Gaea and Human Revolution to the media and let the two sides tear each other apart, putting him on blacklist and even potentially having him get arrested for inciting violence against metahumans. Or it was to find him and trace him to his sources to cut off the media poison.
- Similarly, having Gaea's blatant secrecy exposed, along with its extensive hiring of anti-metahuman ideologues and even potential (though unverifiable, it seemed, at the time) connection to Leon Leopold the most infamous supervillain of all time would surely slow them down and have some eyes turning to investigate them. Considering they had enough money to afford super suits for all their villains today they definitely were dealing in cash that wouldn't be noted in their figures - a definite interest to the Internal Revenue Service, who had a knack for taking down supervillains not for their criminal activity but for understating their income. This would likely drive them further underground but considering the nature of their secrecy it wouldn't be much different from as it was now and it would force them to be less brazen and blatant in their approach, not to mention bend the media knife away from our throats towards theirs.
Felicity had taken extra steps to make sure this wouldn't leak out to Gaea. Closing of the blinds, searching of bugs, etc. She heard what the other teams had to say and their own opinions on how to approach with a thoughtful expression. It seemed a good point to wrap up.
As the group broke up, Felicity slumped into Kilgore's chair. She was, to put it lightly, exhausted. There was so much to consider, both for the school as a whole, for their class, and for squad four and her teammates. Felicity had done all she could to keep them together, to keep a good public face, to combat Gaea's campaign on all fronts - PR, information, and literal combat itself. It was... a lot. She needed a break. A moment to recharge, however long that would take.
She'd have to tell her crew at some point. Tomorrow, after she had talked about it with the professors and her mom. Felicity would miss her friends while she was gone, but people had their limits and she needed to acknowledge hers.
She hoped everyone would be okay in her absence.

Outside Dorms – Squad 1
Ugh. That felt bad. Absolutely horrible. Yoko had immediately blanched upon hearing that, her breath hitching in her throat for a moment as she realised this was pretty much the first time Zach had shown such vulnerability around her. By god she didn't like it. It made her shudder herself.
And to think it had been one—just one person to turn who she was pretty sure to be the most rosy person in outlook into someone fearful and tense. This place had been corrupting him. She felt as if she had been corrupting him. Regardless, it made her feel wretched. So it was with a shaky breath that she gently pulled him into a hug.
“...I'm sorry...”
Her hand stroked the back of his head for a while, before she moved her head down and kissed him on the top of his hair—gently lowering them both down into a sitting position on the grass.
“He won't touch you ever again.”
Her gaze locked after where Shane had gone, eyes narrowing into vicious slits as her lips parted and bared fangs.
“By Kami, I swear it. If he even gets within five feet of you I swear I'll skin him ali– oh...”
Her resolve faltered as she registered her words, and she regained awareness with a start.
“...oh...”
With guilt making her go limp, she pulled away from him—unable to lock her gaze with his as her voice dropped to the barest of whispers.
“...G-Gomenasai...”
I'm such a hypocrite.

Zach - Squad 1 - Outside
The situation was tense. They both were. They were incredibly open with each other and showing a lot of vulnerabilities. And at times like this, this was something he was thankful with.
Shoot, if anything, it showed how much he trusted Yoko to show a little bit of vulnerability. More thankful than she could know.
It got exhausting being as happy and chipper as that.
She apologized, shut down and he frowned. He knew why she did, and wished that there was a way he could express it wasn't the same, that she had no reason to be upset or apologize. So, all he COULD do was wrap his arms around her as tightly as he could from behind, resting his forehead against the back of her skull.
He sighed quietly, and she could feel his tendrils slinking affectionately around her ankles as he did, and then words appeared in front of her.
I think we both need some rest and relaxation. The ink disappeared before reappearing. We're both tense and on edge. Soon as they de-nuke our dorm, I think I just don't wanna leave my room for a while.
Oh, how he wished the art of teasing had reached the written word when he finished.
Wanna join me in that journey? He asked, and he was sure she could feel the little grin on his face spread.

The kitsune couldn't help but regain a small smile at that. She reached up and clasped her hands around Zach's, closing her eyes and leaning her head back into him.
“...Hai. I'd like that.”
Ironically, she wasn't the one being teasing here for once. Which amused her. But no, her tone was simply genuine and honest with that. He was right; she was stressed. To the point where responding with flirtatiousness felt like it was just draining energy.
“...You've... been researching yōkai, haven't you?” she suddenly asked—opening her eyes and looking up at him with a mild look of intrigue and mischief. “Did you see anything about a... ‘Kitsune no Yomerei’, perchance?”
In case he had forgotten it, she flared her tails slightly and let a few kitsunebi expunge from their tips. They floated and surrounded them in a manner similar to the way they had all the way back in the licensing exams—and the fox spirit couldn't help but smile at the sight of them.
“I realised I never told you what it meant. But I think you know anyway. Kitsunebi are reserved for celebrations and events. Parades. Parties.”
She grinned.
“Weddings.”
She pecked him on the lips at that, as if to punctuate the word further. Though afterward her grin faded a little, and she looked contemplative. Then oddly shy. She looked around, checking their surroundings in an almost embarrassed manner—before leaning in close to his ear and speaking a single word once she was sure no one was looking at them.
“Aishiteru.”
Better late than never, she supposed. It wasn't exactly a formal ceremony back then anyway, but the principle was the same. She only felt it right to say it at least once to him.
And she couldn't exactly help it. She was falling in love with him even more.

The realization hit him as soon as she kissed him on the lips and whispered that one, delicate word to him.

His eyes went slightly wide, his face went red. Were they-
They were-
We're married!?
Any initial panic and stress he felt borderline exploded like it was stepping on a land mine in comparison to the bomb shell that Yoko just dropped. And she could likely feel it in the star ball around his neck, that weird mix of surprise, shock, nervousness and probably the most prominent of them all, happiness?
Well, that was a good way to take his mind off things.

“Hai. By kitsune terms, at least. I didn't want to tell you right away in case you weren't sure about all this,” she shrugged—momentarily concentrating to send a wave of calm across her side of the star ball's connection so he didn't have an aneurysm on the spot. “By human terms it doesn't mean much, so I thought if you ever thought it wasn't working out then it'd better left unsaid. But... well...” she smiled, shuffling next to him and leaning her head onto his shoulder. “...it seems to be working out so far, so I thought I'd tell you now.”
She was silent for a short while, staring off into the distance (and likely at some creature invisible to Zach's eyes) before she sighed and got up.
“We should probably meet back up with the others now. Don't want any rumours to spread. It's not even tonight yet~!” she chirped, her tone somewhere between teasing and serious.

Just an adorable fan girl and cosplayer ヾ(*・ω・)ノ💝💟
January 1st
It had been a month since Gaea had launched their assault on Class 1. While they had been victorious, said victory was bittersweet. While they managed to catch half of their assailants, the other half still got away scot-free. And while they had informed the media that one of their staff was a mole, there was still the matter of Saint Academy letting such a person on their staff in the first place. '*Why didn't you perform a more thorough background check?*' '*Did you really just let some random putz into the most well-known school on the planet?*' These were the sort of questions that the Staff was asked day in and day out, and as hard as they tried to answer them, it never seemed to be enough.
Perhaps it was because of that that the media didn't give them any slack for letting a group of Supervillains attack the school on their watch. They did their best to tell the media the truth. That Jacob had shut down their defenses and made the school vulnerable to attack. Unfortunately, not only did it bring the matter back to how someone such as Jacob even got on the staff in the first place, but it made everyone wonder why the staff hadn't enacted the proper safeguards in such a scenario. Shouldn't there have been some sort of back-up system? Something to ensure the students' safety if whatever could go wrong did? And that was assuming they weren't trying to cover their own incompetence.
Still, it wasn't long before Saint Academy finally went on the offensive. With the information that Fluffy and the others had acquired (not that some outlets didn't rail on them for letting a student do their own damn jobs,) and using their connections to make sure it was verified, they were able to distribute it to the media to do with as they wished. Ep Ic Fail's connection to Gaea and Human Revolution was revealed, as was Human Revolution and Leon Leopold's own potential connections to Gaea.
Of course, given the sheer amount of slander that had already been built up against metahumans, it wasn't enough to bring things back to what they used to be overnight, nor did it stop the ongoing rash of hate crimes. And the recent video of Mad Goddess Iona certainly didn't help. Nor did Gaea's considerable knack for PR. But it was enough to keep it from getting any worse than it already had. What they needed to do now was provide a counter-argument. Something to show that metahumans and Superheroes (particularly Class 1,) were no different than anyone else. That all they wanted to do was help. And to that end, there was only one solution: Community service.
Flora Grove — Squad 1
For their part, Squad 1 had been assigned to help pick up trash at the local park. For a park, it was fairly lovely. Long, wide stretches of grass and trees as far as the eye could see, with only the odd trail park bench to disrupt. Well, that and the mountains of trash. It was almost obscene. How anyone could dump all that trash on a park was anyone's guess, but in any case, it was up to Squad 1 and their newfangled set of trash bags and pointy sticks to clean it up and get 'er done.
Additionally, the staff had instructed some of the more reliable students to watch Shane like a hawk. After it turned out that the Dorms had nearly been destroyed by a nuclear bomb of all things, they did their best to get the truth, even interrogating their students if need be. And as soon as they discovered what Shane had done, he was on their naughty list.
However, rather than being suspended or expelled, he was instead assigned to the Morality Course. For all intents and purposes, the goal was to drill as much Superheroic morality into one's head as humanly possible until they were practically puking rainbows. Ethics, morality, proper use of force, when to show restraint, how to be a role model, etc. Shane had been subject to this one hour a day five days a week for the last month, and he still had several more months to go. Whether or not this had any effect beyond driving him insane remained to be seen, but one could always hope.
Racetrack — Squad 2
Squad 2 had been assigned to a nearby track for a race. All the proceedings were going to charity, so if nothing else it was for a good cause. The track itself was one large circle, with one line for each racer side by side with the other. There was also a large crowd in the stands cheering them on, eager to see who was going to come out on top. In any case, all one had to do was run three laps — without teleportation of course — and they'd be home free. Providing their fellow squadmates didn't have anything to say about it.
City Limits — Squad 3
Squad 3 had been tasked with helping to build a house on the city limits. There wasn't much in the way of housing in that part of town. And what there was wasn't very affordable. So the goal was to make a house that fit both of those requirements. In any case, there were still a small number of construction workers on hand to help the Squad with any questions or concerns they might have had, but it was mostly down to them. Still, for a group of Superhumans, it couldn't have been that difficult. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
Outside Firehouse — Squad 4
Last but not least, Squad 4 had been assigned to assist a squad of firefighters in their daily duties. The firehouse itself was large and pristine, almost as though it hadn't seen a day of service. Which was probably because it had just been rebuilt after being burnt down six months ago. Still, duty called. Regardless of what awaited them, they would just have to grin and bear it. Fluffy or no Fluffy.

Infirmary Reception - Felicity Shepherd (Squad 4)
Felicity watched the news without comment before picking up her bag of books and walking down the hall, sending out texts again to Zach, Mikael, and Matten... before adding Ash, Ellie, & Dante in case the others couldn't show up.
A lot's happened today that I'll need catching up on, and I learned some things I need to catch everyone else up on. Since I doubt we have anymore classes for the evening, I'll be borrowing room 1 for an impromptu meeting; I'd like at least one member from each squad to show up so we can share, disseminate information, and plan. If you can't come, that's alright, but please try to send someone who can.
