We have added a few things to the requirements to power and ability upgrades. Be sure and read the details in the most recent update when you request a new power / upgrade.
Well, its the weekend here at MHS. Wouldn't it be great if all schools started on a Friday for the first day of school. What a way to start off. You get a weekend right after your first day. Well, this is because we are done with the first day of class. How so you ask. As you only went to one class. yes, but I am sure that doing the same thing for each class would get boring. So the one class you experienced is basically how all the classes are going to be.
Teacher posts role. Day gets started, end of class happens, everyone goes to their next class, or home..
Well, ezboard still hasn't confirmed anything on a final date when everything is changed over to Yuku. And we are working on what to do next. We all want user friendliness after everything is changed away from Ezbaord, and we are trying everything we can to ensure that we have just that when we are at a new board hosting site.
We have a guest book. Take a look. If you haven't taken a look yet, be sure and do so. ^_^

I'm Back
Kobita's metal hand hit the tree branch with a loud thunk. He grabbed on to the top and swung himself around, flinging onto another tree. Kobita landed softly on the tree and simultaneously looked back over his shoulder.
Well...the diverted attention was an obvious disaster in the making. Kobita didn't land squarely on the branch and the result was him screaming and his arms flailing in the air. The boy hit the ground hard, causing a loud crashing sound and the birds to fly off in assorted directions.
Kobita spent a few moments simply looking up at the sky...taking in a few moments to realize how clumsy he'd gotten. He slowly rolled back on to his stomach, bringing himself steadily to a kneeling position. He had most likely lost them a while ago...he still just ran as hard as he could to get back here.
Kobita had been gone a while. He got a call to come back home to the family estate. Neither the school or Kobita was briefed as to why. But, Kobita was obedient and followed orders.
Sweat dripped past his eye as he fell back on his behind, which was followed by landing on his back. The boy was tired, that was evident. He took a few moments in the grass, to catch his breath, before resuming his trek to the school.
He might, at this moment, find himself remembering his cousin. Fraulein Haduwig Bertilde Roderica Schnellerton. Flash back.
"Ko-biiiii-ta," and her voice is so poisonously sweet, unadultured sugar - with husk behind its girlishness. One day, she'll grow up: no more round, childish cheeks, no more soft, pink lips, moistened by a tongue stained red by a lollipop. No more precocious limbs, caught between girl and woman - nymphet, a little old for Humbert Humbert, and a shameless flirt with it. Her softly furred voice, German; an accent he has been familiar with all of his life.
"Have loads of fun back with the aunts and uncles." Haduwig had chewed on one of her purple ribbons, then wrapped it around her finger, focusing on the ribbon instead of Kobita. Then she had stretched her arms high above, and folded them back behind her head -- all before she turned away, her smile halved by her profile. "I'll have loads of fun here with all your American friends. Bye bye, half pint! Bring me back a present!"
Re: I'm Back
The trees played an interesting role in the grand act of training in a martial art. Stationary test dummies that coudln't fight back, or were they more? The branches that frayed off to the sides, leaves creating a fake surface to attack, they truly created a perfect environment for some hardcore training.
What led him to the forest? Let's dip into the mind of the brash young man just a little and find out.
*Flash back sequence*
Spinning on his back, Darrien thrust a leg outward into the air. Using his right hand, he planted it on the ground, then lifted his other leg quickly and swung it like a propeller to follow the other leg. Using the momentum from the helicopter effect, he pushed his weight up so he was held up by the palm he had planted on the ground.
Pushing downward into the floor, he forced himself to flip back to his feet. No sooner than his feet hit the ground, he spun a roundhouse kick with his right leg, then, before allowing his foot back to the ground, he leaped into the air and swung his left leg over. Tucking both legs in, he fell to the ground and spun on his hip, extending his legs into a sweep motion.
Finishing a complete rotation, he dug his heels into the ground and pulled his legs as hard as he could, causing his upper body to vault into the air. When he was upright on his feet, he swung his right arm forward.
That's when the momentum stopped. Normally, a capoeira master like Darrien's momentum couldn't be stopped after he found his rhythm, at least not by anything in the natural world.
"What is it you think you're doing here?" a deep voice boomed.
Chills rifled through Darrien's spine, but not chills of fear. Could this be someone worth his effort to challenge? Was he finally going to be able to test his ability on another without the fear of getting the hospital involved?
Then, seemingly as if called to attention by the boom of the man's voice, about two dozen students formed a circle around Darrien. Like an animal, he snatched away from the man that had grasped him and flipped back onto his left hand, brandishing a sai in his right and holding his legs up in the defense position.
The circle of students took two steps back, yet the powerful man stood his ground. Obviously this wasn't any sort of attack, and if it was, it was a poor attempt at one. "You're in the way, what are you doing here?" the man with the powerful voice asked.
Smashing his sai into the ground, Darrien vaulted up so that he was balanced on it. "Simple training really, free space for free use in free time no?" he asked brashly.
The young, rainbow haired boy's confidence served only to bring the vein in this man's forehead to a more pronounced state. "It's our time to practice, that means it's your time to leave." he said sternly, staring Darrien in the eyes.
Leaping into a backflip, he snatched his sai from the ground and landed on his feet, back to the man accosting him. "That all? Coulda just asked, no need to be a hard ass." such open disrespect for authority, Darrien's bravado couldn't be touched.
"Take your dance elsewhere, you're in the way." still no attempt at diplomacy.
Taking the tone in the man's voice, Darrien decided this was a fight better not held. Instead, on his way out the door, he scooped up a ball from the cart. Taking the first, and to his greatest hopes his last shot of a basketball ever, he tossed the ball effortlessly into the hoop at the opposite side of the gym. "Floor's yours, don't let me keep you." he said as he walked by the open mouths and gaping wide eyes.
*ending of flashback sequence*
That was how he came to be here, and this boy on the ground before him made him wonder why he chose the forest to continue his workout. Wait a second, back up, what was this boy doing on the ground in front of Darrien? He heard the thump and ran to the source, much like anyone would if they heard such a loud noise, but what now?
"Are you alright down there?" he asked, offering his hand to the young man at his feet.

Re: I'm Back
Nearby:
An inconspicuous looking tree stump in the woods, watching Kobita during training. The forest was known to be a good place to see students working out their powers; they thought they were alone...but that's not always true.
The costume has the apearence of wood, touching it would feel like wood, but the fact that it can change positions...well it wasn't such an ordinary tree stump. Inside, Kanami watched, taking notes with her gloved hands, a difficult task indeed! She had noted his sudden return on camera and for a second, she was actually glad to see him!
Re: I'm Back
It took the boy a few moments to realize there was someone above him. He had been in his own little flashback. Hadu being with his friends however was one of the least pressing matters however. Kobita was more concerned about what all she knew. Had she received word from the family yet? If she had, she might be a problem.
The boy was also greatly fatigued at the moment. He had been trained to hide it and it wasn't evident on his face past the beads of sweat falling from his hair.
At the point where he realized there was someone standing over him, it took him a few more minutes to identify him and then react. He wasn't a Schnellerton, that was good. He was most likely a student at the school, which could be good or bad.
Kobita reached up and took the hand, slowly pulling himself to his feet. He focused mostly on looking all right. If he knew anything about this school its that weakness wasn't a good impression to have.
Re: I'm Back
When the metalic hand took his, Darrien winced a little at the cold touch. Once the boy was to his feet, Darrien released him and thrust his hand into his pocket. "Cold to the touch, even in weather like this? Could be the tension in his body responding to the fall I guess." Darrien said under his breath, careful not to startle the young man he just came across.
Turning to face him again, this time a step away, he ran a hand through his hair. Locks of red, gree, pink, and yellow fell into their place, some blue and purple mixed in. A truly magnificent head of hair it was, and the glistening beads of sweat gathered on his forehead made it look like a rainbow after a fresh storm.
"Are you ok? A fall from a tree can't leave you feeling good, especially with the added weight of the metal." he was unsure of what to say at this point. Always being the center of the conversation, Darrien quickly made a mention of himself to make it seem less like he was acosting the poor boy. "I'm Darrien by the way, what might your name be?"
Viva la Coolie!
Re: I'm Back
Kobita took a few steps back of his own as he rose to his feet. He had never seen this man before. He had also been gone a while so he might be mistaken for a new student, and he was quite familiar with how people treat new students.
With his own inauguration fresh in his mind and his fatigue right there beside it, he wasn't gonna let this man get close enough to do anything.
He examined the man...taking a few moments to just stare at his hair. The sight of such a thing would make them die from shock, which wouldn't be all that terrible of a thing right now. He needed to find Hadu...and neutralize her in some way, whether she got word from home or not.
"Kobita." he said quickly. He didn't want to say anything else on the subject. He just wanted to quickly get to the dorms. She'd be easier to catch off guard if she didn't know he was after her.

Re: I'm Back
The tree stump had followed them, or had it always been there? Kanami watched the short exchange, trying to identify the noticable boy with the rainbow hair. It took maybe a moment to identify a name to match the face.
Darrien Hessel...Bishounen so to speak, extensive training in Capoeira. Age: 15. Huh, need more info on this guy.
Kanami's vision moved to Kobita now, who seemed to be in a bit of a hurry. She had to wonder what was going on; he vanished for a short time suddenly returning! EXPLANATION NEEDED! And then another thing caught her eye, something small and furry staring at her. Staring, it knew! She had been infiltrated!
Thus began the immortal staring contest between a tree stump and a squirrel. What on odd sight.
Re: I'm Back
The quick movements only succeeded in piquing Darrien's attention more. He kept his eyes affixed on the boy he had met for the first time, completely oblivious to the cartoonish exchange going on around them. His mind reeled over the possible outcomes of this exchange of words and glances. Could Kobita become a friend? Is this distrust here? Maybe he's still startled from the fall? Any way about it, Darrien was eager to get this meeting rolling, and just that was what he did.
"Still shaken, Kobita? That's kinda foreign sounding, you come from around here?" Probing question for a first meeting, yet it seemed appropriate to open things up a little. His facial features loosened slightly, cheeks lowered, nose unscrunched, eyes lazed a little more droopily. He was easing out of his work out mode now, and slipping back into his natural state.
Allowing his shoulders to relax, his body went limp, yet limber. His legs still shook slightly, the calming down process took a little time. After all, he did just leave a heated work out, which included a rather hostile argument, then a young man fell from a tree not five feet before him. This just wasn't going to be a normal night, no matter how hard he tried to make it so.
Viva la Coolie!
Re: I'm Back
Kobita relaxed slightly as their conversation carried on. Knowing Hadu, she was already waiting for him. Hurrying to confront her would be a waste and probably just lead him into a trap. He eyed the man cautiously for a few moments before he sighed, leaned back, and soundly landed on his bottom.
"Yeah...I'm not from around here. From Germany actually." Whether he was working for them or not, answering that question was not difficult. " And no...I'm fine." He finished up his questions calmly as he stared at the ground working on catching his breath.
That, now that he was at a lower plane of sight, was when he noticed the squirrel staring curiously at the tree. Usually, animals could sense things humans could not. Granted, sometimes they were just hungry, but with his current position, nothing could be taken for granted.
He decided he'd just keep an eye on the tree, to prevent causing the man infront of him alarm. "So...Darrien right? What are you doing out here?"

Re: I'm Back
"I was just working out, then I was dispeled from my workout area, so I decided to come here and explore some. I heard the forest had haunted parts, so when I first noticed you I thought my mind had made an aberition to trick me." he said with a calm grin on his face.
Still oblivious to the squirrel versus tree stump staring contest going on behind them, Darrien took a bold step forward. Wrapping his knuckles on Kobita's chest real quick, he smiled so devilishly that the boy had to assume something was awry.
"I don't mean to be rude, it's just you rarely meet someone with a metal structure such as yours. Do you rust?"
Viva la Coolie!
Daedelus walked into the forest and started watching the other people talking, he watched kobita with the most interest though. hmmm he wondered, i wonder what he is hiding.....
