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. ^_^

The Pursuit of Happiness (open)
Whoever came up with the idea for a shopping mall deserves the award for ‘Outstanding culturally bettering achievement’ and a gold star attached to his permanent file. This menagerie of clothing stores, coffee shops, appliance hubs, nick-nack pagodas, and fast food stops has become a mainstay in today’s society, bringing together the stylish teens, curious kids, and leisure seeking adults alike. Any which way you looked you’d be sure to find a different sect of humanity lurking, and just when you think a system of what type of person would be in what shops, you see something that throws your whole theory through a wood chipper.
Medium height, perfectly toned, dressed to the nines in designer clothing, a young man stood in the far east wing of the shopping centre. From head to toe, covering every inch of bare flesh save for his face, he had white colored clothing. White shoes, white socks, ivory linen pants, white shirt, ivory tie, ivory jacket, and a white banded white hat you’d expect to see on a mob boss, with a pair of white gloves covering his hands. Should he have walked through a dust cloud, he’d certainly be discolored all over.
There was a meaning for this particular style, though we shan’t be needing to dive into that just now. It was laundry day, which only explains a portion of the why, but that’s all you’d need to know unless you were a close friend of the young man standing there.
Numerous people passed him by as he stood his ground in a deep thought over something apparently amazing. Girls dressed in next to nothing, men in business suits, even elderly couples out for their afternoon stroll all stopped to look at him, all with their own reasons. The latter group would most certainly consider him a ruffian, up to some manner of no good, which wouldn’t have been entirely wrong; The intermediate group undoubtedly considered him to be fashionably unsound, which was entirely wrong; The former group all thought he was ‘hot’, which was the most completely accurate assessment anyone had made of him in a fair amount of time.
The shop he was now positioned in front of was one that none of those previous groups, except possibly the latter, would have assumed he’d be going to. A young man like Darrien would be assumed to peruse the sporting goods shops, or even the designer clothing stores, but this? He didn’t look like the type to be standing transfixed on a pet store that specialized in small breed puppies such as chihuahuas, dachshunds, and beagles. Who could blame him? They were adorable, anyone can appreciate that.
One puppy in particular, a dachshund with little beady eyes and a droopy face, caught his attention. It was a milky, dark brown color with smooth hair, and it stood apart from the longhairs for more than that. It seemed drawn to him, drawn in a way he couldn’t place, so he stood there staring at it until he figured out why, or someone ran into him and broke his concentration, which seemed more likely given the traffic all around.
Viva la Coolie!

Re: The Pursuit of Happiness (open)
Running through the crowds was the amber eyed youngster known as Abby. She was being chased by a rather large man in uniform. Her hands were stretched out in front of her as she ran, those tiny hands covered in blue paint. There was a small clearing of no people and Abby jumped into it. She looked back to the man chasing her, the usual wide smile on her face as she did. It didn't seem to bother her, being chased by someone, and all that ran through her mind was that she couldn't lose this game of tag.
Abby was dressed in her usual matter or randomness. She was in a gold corset like top and a denim skirt that reached half way down her thigh. Over her corset like top Abby wore a denim vest with patches sewn onto it. The patches were very brightly coloured and had very weird patterns on them. She was wearing her black tights and her neon pink and green checkered leg warmers. Today her shoes were bright yellow. They matched the collar Sakura gave her that was around her neck. Abby also wore her white beret with the bunny ears on top. Her blonde hair was a little messy looking, just like always.
" I didn't know you weren't meant to open the paint bucket thingy!! I just wanted to see the colour!" She called back to the man chasing her. The short girl turned back to see where she was going, only to find herself running square into a man in a full white suit. Her hands blocked any other kind of body contact. Pulling back, Abby 's eyes locked onto the two blue hand prints she accidentally left in the young man's jacket.
Gasping loudly, Abby looked up to the stranger. " I'm being chased! We're playing tag! Can I hide behind you?" She asked. Without waiting for a reply, Abby ducked behind the man in the white suit. She tried her best to hide behind him. The mall cop who was following her ran up to the man. " Have you seen a little girl who's dressed strangely and has paint on her hands?" He asked.

Re: The Pursuit of Happiness (open)
There was another type of person we neglected to mention earlier. The personification of this group was careening through the crowds as if she was running tfrom the devil himself, and Darrien didn't see her until she was upon him. Kids these days *sigh*.
Before their run in interupted, Darrien maintained his fix on the pup staring back at him through the glass. The others were running and jumping and playing around, yet he sat still, content with watching the clean white human watch him. Dogs were supposed to be vibrant, playful animals right? What was this one then?
While contemplating this, Darrien was caught off guard by the commotion that accompanied the little girl. Without much chance to move, he swiveled his hips so that all she could get her hands on was his jacket, can't have expensive dry cleaning bills now can we? Not so much as a chance to get upset, he couldn't even turn to face the girl before the situation unfolded a little more before him.
" I'm being chased! We're playing tag! Can I hide behind you?"
No chance to utter an objection, she soon took up residence using his sturdy body as her fortress to hide behind.
Then, almost as soon as she was shielded by his white frame, he was approached by another person.
" Have you seen a little girl who's dressed strangely and has paint on her hands?"
"No sir, haven't seen anyone like that. You'd be better checking over there."
He pointed to a play place station on the other side of the coridoor. With the few seconds he now had while the security guard was checking through a jungle gym contraption, he turned to face the girl. A quick, slinky motion of his shoulders, and a spin around on his heels, the girl was wearing the jacket she stained with blue paint.

Re: The Pursuit of Happiness (open)"No sir, haven't seen anyone like that. You'd be better checking over there."
The mall cop looked at Darrien with a strange look on his face. He then proceeded to scan the area with his eyes to attempt to spot the girl with the bunny ears on her hat. That was the biggest thing that stood out to him. Sadly she was no where to be found it seemed. With a slight nod of the head, he set off in the direction pointed out. It did seem like a logical place for the young girl to be.
"Care to tell me what that was about?"
Abby looked up at the stranger with the usual wide smile on her face. It showed that she wasn't worried by what had just happened, and like always she took it as a joke. " Well I was looking at the pain tin stuff cause paint is cool! And I wanted to see if the colour was the same so I opened it! Then I saw it and it looked so pretty that I wanted to know what it felt like so I dipped my hands in and then the big scary looking guy was all like 'WRAR!! You can't do that in here!' And then I said 'Ooh Mr big scary looking guy do you like paint?' And then he started to chase me!" She explained.
The amber eyed youngster stopped herself, attempting to catch her breath after speaking so fast. " And we were playing but then he got all angry at me and I didn't understand what he was angry about. We were just playing tag y'know?" She asked. It sounded like she was genuinely confused about the mall cop's actions towards her.

Re: The Pursuit of Happiness (open)
He stood motionless as she recounted the tale of her game, we're just gonna stick with game, with the security guard. It seemed she was at fault here, and she did ruin a just dry cleaned jacket, but Darrien couldn't will himself to be upset.
Meanwhile, before he could speak another word, the puppy he was studying so closely made the first sound he'd heard out of it since he got there. A quick, attention grabbing yelp came from the calm end of the cage.
He looked down at the little girl, then at his jacket, then back at her. Pulling his wallet from the jacket pocket, he smirked coyly in her direction.
"I have a deal for you. We're gonna go play with the puppy in the window there now. But, you can only touch him if you run to the bathroom and wash those hands. Deal?"
Introductions would have to come later, now he needed to get her into a store or something, the guard was starting to lose faith in the ruse Darrien had pulled.
He placed his hands on his hips, waiting for an answer before he proceeded into the pet store.

Re: The Pursuit of Happiness (open)"I have a deal for you. We're gonna go play with the puppy in the window there now. But, you can only touch him if you run to the bathroom and wash those hands. Deal?"
Abby's eyes lit up. Puppies. She loved puppies! They were her favourite animal, well, apart from bunnies and ducks, but that was another story. She began to jump up and down like a spring before running on the spot and clapping her hands together in front of herself. Searching for a restroom sign was more difficult when you were as excited as Abby was, and it was worthwhile to debate whether she was actually looking or not.
After very little attempt at searching for a sign, Abby pointed to a random location. " Okay! So do I go this way to the thingy and wash my hands now? And um, which way is it anyway??" She asked. Suddenly all those questions slipped out of her mind as she looked at the puppy. Abby was inches away from placing her hands on the glass window as she looked at the puppy, but she remembered the paint and held back.
" Maybe it wasn't a good idea to feel the paint!" She called, throwing her hands up in the air. It was Abby's first time in the mall around here, and even then it had been a while since she went to one back home. Her parents didn't really like to take her to crowded places because she stuck out all the time and ended up doing things that embarrassed them. " Have you ever felt paint? It's really weird." Abby commented.

Re: The Pursuit of Happiness (open)
Just like that, at the mention of the puppy the little girl lit up like a christmas tree. It was like someone had opened a can of pressurized jumping beans and they got all of their bounce out all at once. The bit of ruckuss she raised when she began to jump up and down started to turn heads, and when she ran in place like she was on an oil slick averted a lot of eyes to them. One pair of eyes was the security guard.
" Okay! So do I go this way to the thingy and wash my hands now? And um, which way is it anyway??"
He put his hands on her shoulders, spun her around, and pointed straight off to their immediate right side.
"Just down that hallway there, the young ladies' room is the third door on the right."
" Have you ever felt paint? It's really weird."
"Can't say I have, perhaps one day I will and it'll remind me of this game of hide and seek today. Now run along and wash up, don't want to turn the little guy blue do you?"
The security guard hadn't yet honed in on them, the mall crowd had thickened a bitover the few moments she was with Darrien. 'Could be worse.' he thought to himself. That security guard could be one of them, and he'd hate to have to disrupt the flow here in the social spot of the city.

Re: The Pursuit of Happiness (open)"Just down that hallway there, the young ladies' room is the third door on the right."
With a very quiet squeal, Abby took off as full speed down the hallway. She loved the fact that she was such a fast runner, even if she never trained to be that way. It was one of her few natural talents. As Abby passed people in the hall, they turned their heads to stare at her. But she was gone into the bath room before they could catch another glimpse of her.
" Hi bathroom people!" Abby said to the few ladies that were in the bathroom. Whether or not they said anything to her was a mystery, since Abby tuned them out and ran for the nearest sink. The paint on her hands was not as thick now that some of it was on Darrien's jacket, so in no time it was off her hands. She even used soap just to make sure.
Abby then quickly ducked out, leaving blue prints all over the sink. But her hands were nice and clean and that was all that mattered. She came tearing around the corner again, bursting through the crowd of people and ended up standing right next to Darrien. She held her hands up to show him. " Look, all clean and stuff!" She said, smiling widely.

Re: The Pursuit of Happiness (open)
With Abby off to the restroom, Darrien had a private moment to think. He was over the ruined jacket, lord knew he had many where it came from. Most people kept one jacket of each color, but Darrien wasn't like most. He had every color but one, the one color he wouldn't wear, the one with a name he wouldn't speak. But that's a downer subject, and we're not going to touch on that.
His breif moment of silence was spent the way the time was before Abby had hurled herself into the mix, staring at that dog. He couldn't figure it out still, the puppy in the window simply looked back at him. None of the others even attempted to play with it, as if they knew he wasn't one to be swayed once he'd set sights on something.
Trailing his finger down the glass, the puppy's eyes followed it intently. Leafing through his wallet to make sure he had cash, in case they didn't take credit(oh that's so annoying, right?), and when he turned to look toward the restroom hallway, the little mushroom cloud of energy was making a quick return.
" Look, all clean and stuff!"
"Well then, shall we go in?" he asked with a smirk across his face. He held out an arm for her to take, thinking if he kept her within arm's reach she wouldn't let all the animals out of their cages, and no one wants that, right?
Viva la Coolie!

Re: The Pursuit of Happiness (open)"Well then, shall we go in?"
Abby quickly took a hold of his arm. She remembered the last time she went to a pet store. The overly excited youngster wanted to pet the birds, and so she opened the cage and sent all of them flying out quickly. Though it was fun for her, the bill given to her parents wasn't that fun for them. The birds were all Abby could remember about that day. After that they didn't go back to that mall.
As they made their way into the store, the crowd from outside slowly dispersed. Abby had never actually noticed the crowd, even when she dove through them. " So are you buying that puppy? Do you like puppies? Have you ever had a pet before? Hey... what's your name anyway?" She asked. Abby often asked people a lot of questions. She liked to get as much information about people as she could.

Re: The Pursuit of Happiness (open)
Abby in tow, Darrien walked into the pet shop, deliberatly walking passed the puppy's cage to test a theory. They walked by the exotic pets section; snakes, hedgehogs, sharks (sealed tanks, no touching), iquanas, kimodo dragons, even a couple of monkeys; a varitable zoo of a section. All the while the puppy's eyes followed them as they walked around.
" So are you buying that puppy? Do you like puppies? Have you ever had a pet before? Hey... what's your name anyway?"
"We'll see, doesn't everyone, a kitten once, and Name's Hessel, Darrien Hessel. And who, oh inquisitive one, might you be?"
When he spoke he pulled his arm up slightly, drawing her in close enough to miss knocking over a small cage of feeder mice. It appeared all the associates were busy, so the poor puppy would remain in the cage for a few more minutes.

"We'll see, doesn't everyone, a kitten once, and Name's Hessel, Darrien Hessel. And who, oh inquisitive one, might you be?"
" My name is Abigail Anderson, but everyone calls me Abby." Abby replied. She watched the puppy as they past it and walked through a different section. She couldn't figure out why they past it. " Hey, you passed the puppy." Abby said. But the concern in her eyes changed to excitement as she looked around. With her free hand she pointed to things as she mentioned them.
" Look! A snake! And a spikey um... thing!! Ooooooh, a shark! And a lizard thingy! A dragon! Small little one but still, dragon! Darrien, Darrien look! Monkeys!!" Abby said, the excitement obvious in her voice. She looked around and noticed that all the workers were busy with people. She then looked over at the mice. " Rats!" She squealed, but it was a happy one.

Re: The Pursuit of Happiness (open)" My name is Abigail Anderson, but everyone calls me Abby."
" Hey, you passed the puppy."
He smirked a little, maintaining a their distance from the puppy for now. "Well Abby, gotta see how much he wants me before I commit to buying him." Cool as ice on the outside, just as excited and giddy as she was on the inside, but that's Darrien, you'd never know exactly what he was thinking.
She seemed totally extatic as they passed the animals in the store, her excitement bursting at the seams. As soon as an associate was available, Darrien flagged him over with a quick wave of his hand. The jacket really completed the look, and without it he probably really did look like a droogie from A Clockwork Orange, but looks were meant to be deceiving.
"May I help you?"
"Yeah, think we could have a closer look at the little guy in here?" he pointed at the cage the puppy he was fond of.
"Sure, one second." The young man, (early twenties?) opened the cage and pulled the dog out, avoiding looking Darrien in the eyes. A peircing stare from a fifteen year old, was there any greater terror?
"Thanks, we'll let ya know if we need anything else."
"Sir, you can't..." Before the words got out of his mouth, Darrien was already not paying attention. He was focused on the small dog, holding it in his free arm.
"What do you think miss Anderson?"

Re: The Pursuit of Happiness (open)
Abby watched as he called a worker over and asked for the dog. She kept the same wide smile on her face as the moved over and the puppy was picked up. The worker seemed unsure of leaving the dog with them, Abby didn't really understand why. So she just ignored it and looked at the puppy. It was so cute and small, it made Anny want one herself.
"What do you think miss Anderson?"
Abby studied the small dog with a rather serious look on her face. She tilted her head to the left, then the right, then to the left again. " I think..." She began, the sound in her voice making it seem like she was deep in thought about it. " I think... it's a dog." She replied, finally bringing her head upright as she kept her eyes on the dog.
After a moment or two of staring at the dog, the amber eyed youngster looked up to Darrien. " If you got the puppy what would you name it?" She asked. It was always interesting to hear what one would name a pet. As she waited for him so respond, Abby thought of what she would name a puppy if she ever got one.

Re: The Pursuit of Happiness (open)
The tiny puppy was perfectly calm in Darrien's arm as he and Abby found a clear place to sit and examine it closely. The smooth feel of the fur all of its tiny body felt like a silky handkerchief wrapped around a large water balloon filled with warm water. Its tiny, floppy ears curled back slightly while it attempted adjust to its new surroundings.
" I think..."
" I think... it's a dog."
-arphf!-
"I think he agrees with you there miss Abby."
Snaking his arm from Abby's grasp, he pressed both hands to the pup's face. Upon closer inspection, he noticed the peculiar eyes set in the dachshund's compact little face. When they were fully open, as they were now, the right eye was a milky pink color, and the left, a milky blue. Trick of the light perhaps? He tilted the pup's head slightly to either side, noting no change.
" If you got the puppy what would you name it?"
"Haven't really thought of it," he said, steering his gaze away from the awkward eyes. "Always liked the name Achilles, but that seems a little epic for a pup his size. He looks like he deserves a smart name, something you'd read in a Conan Doyle novel, Sir Artemis Howell. I like the sound of that."
He paused a moment, clearly that would prove to be a mouthful for anyone to remember. "Arty for short."

Abby stared blankly at Darrien. He said a lot of things just then and she didn't really catch it all. Something about names and books or something. But after a moment the stare turned back to her usual smile. Arty was an interesting name. It reminded her of one of her friends because people called him Art. But she forgot all about him when noticing the eye colour of the puppy.
" Hey, it's eyes are different colours." She whispered, trying to not have the dog hear her. Abby didn't want to hurt the puppy's feelings. It seemed to know what they were saying so fat, so she just guessed that it could understand them or something. " But different is cool. It's so cute!" She called out, attracting the attention of a few people in the shop.

Re: The Pursuit of Happiness (open)
He quickly noticed the blank stare his little tangent brought on and was pulled away from the awkward eyes of the puppy. He immediately felt a little bad for confusing the poor girl, then realized she didn't look confused at all. More disintersted than confused, which made Darrien wince a little. Was he really that boring of a speaker? Then he remembered who he was with, it was a toss of a coin whether anything would have kept her attention so long as it took for her to see something new.
" Hey, it's eyes are different colours."
"I've never seen anything like it either." he said, joining her in the awe filled stare. He stroked the puppy's stomach once, eliciting a catlike purr.
" But different is cool. It's so cute!"
"Indeed it is, wanna hold him for me while I buy him and a few things for'im?" he asked her while he scanned for the employee to ring them out.

Abby nodded as her amber eyes lit up. She would get to hold the puppy! How cool was that! Abby took a moment to control her excitement. She didn't want to hurt to puppy or anything like that because she was so excited. Control, however, was never one of Abby's strong points. While holding her arms out, she began to fidget as she awaited him to hand her the small dog. Sitting still was another one those things that Abby couldn't do. " Alrighty then!" She replied finally.

Feeling no apprehension to speak of, he unloaded Sir Artemis into her arms and walked toward a small display rack labeled "New Puppy Necessities!". Bowl, leash, collar, chew toy in the shape of a rubber ducky, and a cool puppy hat. Couldn't have the good knight being jealous of Darrien's hats now could we? He loaded these items into a cart, along with a large bag of kibble and various biscuits and treats.
"I'll take all this, and the little fella in the girl's arms over there. How much?"
"You can't take the dog today, there's paperwork to be filed, a background check to make sure the dog will go to a good home..."
"You don't seem to understand, I'm purchasing this puppy today, and I'm walking out that door with him shortly there after."
He looked over his shoulder at Abby, just making sure she and Sir Artemis were still getting along well enough. When he turned back, he flashed a quick wink to the young lady attempting to impede his acquisition. Just like that, like all the rest, she melted in front of him.
"Five hundred for the pup and two hundred for the rest, that makes seven hundred total, alright sir?" the strained composure in her voice was obvious. It was truly scary how Darrien did these things.
He handed her the money, then turned back to Abby. "When you're ready, shall we be off?"

Re: The Pursuit of Happiness (open)
Now that the dog was in Abby's arms, the question was what to do now? Either hold onto it and look at it, just as Darrien had done, or play! Maybe use the same moves she used on the kitty when they were playing a few days ago. Abby placed the pup on the ground, surprised as it didn't run off or something. Maybe it was curious or something, just like the cat had been.
Getting down low onto the ground, Abby got into somewhat of a pouncing position. She eyed the dog carefully, growling lightly as if asking for a fight from the pup. However, unexpectedly she rolled onto her back, her hands out just like a kangaroo, but she thought it was more like a dog. She then rolled back into her original position. Abby was about to pounce on the dog when Darrien spoke to her.
"When you're ready, shall we be off?"
Abby shot up like a bolt of lightning into an upright sitting position with her legs crossed. She carefully picked up the puppy and stood to meet him. " Okay then. Where are we going to?" She asked.

Re: The Pursuit of Happiness (open)
There weren't many words in the spoken english tongue that could describe the awkwardness of Darrien's newest companion. He chose "fun" and "adventurous" to describe her, of the myriad of possibilities at hand, not only were those the most easily perceived, they were the most accurate. The scene with the dog proved the prior, and her willingness to allow Darrien to take the reigns on their little excursion made the latter that much more true.
"I think I passed a little indoor play area in here, probably down in front of the Macy's store. Want to take Sir Artemis out that way and play with him a little?" he asked, choosing not to mention anything of what he saw her doing.
Viva la Coolie!
