Lunch period, Little Haven, Oddity High cafeteria - Alex Palencia the werewolf who would prefer not to be one

Alex glanced at Val with a somewhat weirded out expression; that kid was awkward to the max, in Alex's opinion. He didn't make any comment though; he didn't figure it was his place, and besides, he didn't really care. He finished off the rest of the sandwich, milk, and chips, and took a couple bites of the apple, but set it down without finishing it. Then Alex followed Mindy to Ms. Sims. Alex had his hands in his pockets, and looked like he didn't have his expectations set terribly high here.

"I don't know how to make mine stop at all. I don't even know how it works. I guess I transform on the full moon? And if I get really hungry? I don't feel like I have any control when it happens, and I hardly remember most of it anyways" Alex explained with a shrug.

Mimi

“Mimi gets hungry. A lot,” Mimi said in response to Ms. Sims' question, getting up out of her seat and moving over towards her. She clutched her hands innocently behind her back, rocking on her heels slightly like a girl half her age. Despite staring into dead space. “She has to eat things. Lots of things. Big things.”

She paused for a moment, considering her next words.

“She's not vegetarian. Plants help, but not enough for her. She needs lots of meat.”

That there is a seal.

Well, it's okay to eat meat. Lots of people eat meat. Unless it's human meat, that'd be pretty bad. Both morally speaking and in terms of your health - it's just loaded with fat and empty calories. Ask me not how I know this. Loki says this offhandedly, almost as a matter of course, not really seeming to realize that he just implied his classmate might be a cannibal.

The cafeteria

Gill thought for a moment. He then smiled, nodding at Mindy.

"Yeah, I know how to read. I'd like to join you to the library after school, yeah," he told her. He then watched as both Mindy and Alex got up to speak about their problems to Miss Sims. He thought for a moment. There had to be something unusual about him that would be difficult to control, but it didn't seem like he really had powers per se.

It was more like that he had something about him that was just... different. Something that was determined by the nature of his birth.

Cafeteria

"You have fire-based abilities? And you can't control them...When do they activate? When you're angry or just randomly?"

"And you're a werewolf, right? Do you ever remember not transforming during a full moon? Maybe there's a way to prevent it."

"And...you...pink-haired girl...how do you eat? Do you...you don't eat people, right?"


"...what do I want to talk about?...uhhhh..."

Val could be heard muttering something to themself, although it was hard to make out exactly what was being said.

"...uhhhh...I don't know...what about you?...what do you want to talk about?...do you want to talk at all?...maybe we shouldn't talk, actually..."

Mindy briefly smiles at Gill when they made plans to go to the library. At least he knows how to read, she thinks to herself. Maybe this will be a little bit more easier than she thought. Then after Ms. Sims asks her about when do her hands catch fire, she slides her hands into the pockets of her jeans, briefly looking down to gather her thoughts while also having a look of guilt on her face. She takes a breath before looking up to Ms. Sims again.

"Tell ya da truth.... yeah. Every time I get real angry, my hands seem to catch fire. Happened three times today: before class, in Mr. Morgan's class, and I really scared the crap outta 'im, and again in Mrs. Hughes's class. Scared her too, though she kinda deserved it. Tryin' to get us all in trouble for no good reason. Those "infractions", but I'm ramblin' here. But yea... seems to happen every time I get mad."

Lunch period, Little Haven, Oddity High cafeteria - Alex Palencia the werewolf who uh, about that

Alex looked over at Mimi, who honestly kinda freaked him out, but he tried to play it off. "You uh, like to eat a lot of meat? I guess that makes two of us, kinda..." Alex commented, feeling awkward and still freaked out, but then turned his attention to Ms. Sims.

"Not transforming on a full moon? I mean, I'm not sure, I..." Alex trailed off, realizing there was something important he had kind of left out. "To be honest I didn't even know what was happening until just a couple weeks ago. I'd never really paid attention the moon before then, and well... There actually hasn't been a full moon yet since I figured it out" the young werewolf explained.

"But there's going to be one soon, at like the end of the week" Alex added, as now he had been obsessively keeping track of the moon phase.

The cafeteria

Gill frowned, looking over at Val, and thinking for a moment. He felt like he was making Val uncomfortable, but then he thought of a topic that he thought made perfect sense.

It probably didn't make a whole lot of sense to anyone else, but it made sense to him, and that was what mattered.

"What... is it that you like the most about being human?" he asked Val. "I've only been human for a week or so..."

Cafeteria

It was dubious how well Ms. Sims would have been able to help Mindy and Alex, even with this new information, but before she could try, she was distracted by something that mattered slightly more to her. (Although the question of whether Mimi ate people definitely still stood.)

"...Infractions? Is she...Okay, everyone, have any of you had any bad experiences with your teachers? Is there anything I should know about?"


"...uuuhhhhhh..."

"...I don't...I can't...uhhh..."

"...I've...uh...never...not been...uhh..."

"...I'm not really...I don't...I don't know how to, uh, answer that..."

"...maybe Mim—uh, M-Mindy?...is that your name?...maybe she could answer that?...or Alex, maybe?...or...someone else?..."

"...I'm, uh...human...though...I'm...I, uh..."

"...nevermind..."

The cafeteria

Gill frowned, looking at Val and sighing.

"Oh, all right, I'm sorry," he muttered. "Yeah, I'll ask and see if—" he started to say. Then his ear perked up when Sims asked the group if any of the teachers had given him a bad experience. At once, Gill stood up, waving a raised hand in her direction.

"Ms. Hughes didn't believe me when I said I didn't have a last name, gave me an infraction, then made up a name and gave me another infraction when I corrected her. Then she gave me a report on a 'book,' whatever that is, and wanted me to come up with it by tomorrow, even though I don't know what she meant," he explained.

Frowning deeper, he sat back in his seat, glancing at the table.

"And then one of the other teachers called me an oddity," he sighed. "I came here to try and learn how to be a normal human..."

Mindy, not even noticing if Val tried talking to her, gets on a tangent over Mrs. Hughes. "Oh yeah, Mrs. Hughes. I tried tellin' her that I didn't get a summer reading assignment and I never got one before, but she gave me an infraction for it anyway! And she gave me a couple more after dat! Like she was tryin' to show us she's da big boss around here! Tryin' ta make her sound powerful, I guess! But I didn't do anything wrong!"

Then she happens to listen to Gill's side of his story, and ends up getting even more incensed. "I'm guessin' you mermen don't have any last names down there, do ya? And she punished you for it?! And gave you an assignment? Even though you're new to dis school thing?!!"

Mindy can feel her anger starting to swell up before she stops herself, taking a breath and closing her eyes. She breaths slowly for a few moments before opening her eyes again.

"OK.... I'm fine. But do ya see dat here?! She's only here just ta push us around! I mean da other teachers like Morgan, Perlman and Davis are OK, but I don't get why you didn't tell any of 'em about us! Why you keepin' 'em in da dark for?"

She just stands there, with a look of frustration and confusion in her face, with a little bit of hurt seen in her eyes.

Lunch period, Little Haven, Oddity High cafeteria - Alex Palencia the werewolf who hates abusive authority figures

"Ugh, miss Hughes" Alex said with a disgruntled sigh after being reminded about that teacher. "She gave one kid an infraction for being late, then two more for 'talking back' because he pointed out that doing a whole book report in one day was unfair! And he was one of the ones who actually had a book report to turn in already!" the young werewolf explained. Alex, not yet knowing about Robin's preference to be non-gendered, just went with what he assumed Robin's gender was.

"The others though, like, they weren't mean, but man were they unprepared for this. How'd you manage to only hire like, people who didn't even believe that we'd be real?" Alex asked, shaking his head at the ridiculousness of it. "We scared the crap out of poor mister Morgan" he added simply.

Nicholas

...ah. A conversation. He should probably say something.

"The teachers are fine," Nicholas said, though one got the feeling he didn't really care much either way. "Although if everyone's complaining, I guess that's probably a bad sign."

A pause.

"Does this mean the teachers are fired?"

I wouldn't think so, except maybe Ms. Hughes. And I hope not, again with the possible exception of Ms. Hughes, because this school won't amount to shit if we keep having to hire new teachers.

"...I did tell them. Multiple times. None of them listened."

"And I couldn't find any teachers that believed me. The four teachers I have are the only four that applied. I...I wanted more." She sounded like she was almost on the verge of tears. The students seem to have accidentally pushed her a little further into the figurative hole she was in. "I'm not going to fire any of them because I don't think I can hire any more teachers."

"...I will have a talk with Ms. Hughes."


"...no! Wait! Wait, I can answer the...uh..."

It was already too late. Gill, and everyone else at the table, had been distracted by Ms. Sims.

"...oh, why did I even bother...I shouldn't have come here...I shouldn't be here..."

Val got up, walked into the corner of the room, and stared at the wall.

Lunch period, Little Haven, Oddity High cafeteria - Alex Palencia the werewolf wondering why he even bothered coming

Between exasperation at the general incompetence of the school, and feeling awkward that apparently their principal was about to cry, Alex didn't really want to say anything at the moment. In fact, he was feeling like he didn't want to be in the room anymore, or the building. However, he couldn't manage to bring himself to just leave the situation in silence, or walk away.

Alex slowly let out his breath, and scratched the back of his head through his beanie. "Well, good. She deserves it" Alex stated simply, referring back to Ms. Hughes. "Anyway, are we still gonna do that 'power control' thing? Whatever that's going to be?" he then asked.

"Yeah, what Wolfie said. Guess a longshot is better than nuthin' at all," Mindy says, not feeling very optimistic about her chances to get her abilities under control. But still yet, there's this desperation in her that wants to do something about this before she ends up killing someone. So as far as she was concern, it was worth a shot.

...oh. She was crying.

That was...that wasn't good.

"I'm sorry," Nicholas said. "I didn't mean to upset you." A brief silence hung over the room.

Then, he turned, head flopping to one side as he looked at his classmates. "We haven't talked much. Anyone want to?"

"Look inside yourself and to the stars; there, you will find your answers."

Look, Ms. Sims, you know what? I met a dozen other people like me today. That's a dozen more than I met in the past week, I can tell you. That's... that's something, right?

He hears Nicholas saying they haven't talked much. You are absolutely right... Nicholas, was it? We haven't talked much. What do you want to talk about?

"Whoa, what?" Alex immediately said, holding his hands up a bit defensively and taking a step back. "If I did that here, I'd eat someone, or..." he looked over at Mindy with a worried frown, leaving the rest of the sentence unsaid.

"... Besides, even if I wanted to, I don't think I can just do it myself" Alex explained, as he was in fact not aware of that being an ability of his. "Unless you've got raw meat- nope, nope nope, never mind, I said nothing" he added, realizing right as he said it that, that it was a really bad terrible stupid awful no good horrible idea.

'Cafeteria', Power Practice

"Alright. Let's see if I can figure out whatever arcane secret mom was keeping from me!"

Blake lept up from where he was enjoying lunch and began doing random poses.

"Shazam! Alakazam! Arise! Activate combat mode! User override! The power within me, awaken! ... Uh... Witness, the power granted me by the Titans!"

He waits for a few moments and visibly slumps when nothing happens.

"Nnnnnnope, no superpowers. Guess mom just signed me up for the wrong school..."

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Gill looked around the room for a bit, furrowing his eyebrows, then he sighed and shook his head.

"I only turn back into a merman when I'm submerged in water," he explained. "Unless you have the ocean here at school, I don't know if I'll be able to transform back right now."

He exerted some force, hoping that he could trigger his transformation but nothing seemed to happen.

"Darn..." he murmured.

Loki immediately turns into... a seal, for some reason.

Ta-da! I can do other stuff, too: people, animals, not plants though.

He looks down at his pinnipedian form. You know, I should go find some other seals and we could start, like, a band. Or whatever you call a group of seals.
