  1. written with Tenaxa PCU Stone-Craft Pizza It was early afternoon, and the off campus pizza place was busy with normal business and a private party. There was a large assortment of cheerleaders disguised as students as well as football players, and others. Max walked the tables saying Hi and introducing Tori to everyone who asked while refilling their mugs every few tables. A few tables he just worked as if running for public office. Finally they made it back to their table where Alex, John, Summer, Jenn. and Sandi sat. Lucy one of the waitresses walked over to Max before he sat down and whispered something to him. Max looked around with a smile and nodded in the direction of the bar and signed a slip for her. Lucy smiles and hurried back to the tables. Max sat down between Sandi and Jenn, leaving an open seat between Alex and John. The pizza was half gone before another had reappeared, even though Max and Tori were only on the third mug of beer the pitchers were emptied just as fast. Max noted, the arrival of new waitresses and how the simple gathering had become a circus of uncontrolled chaos, Max could work with that. Sandi smiled at how Max worked the crowd with his new friend Tori, apparently he planned on keeping her around, that was interesting she thought. Tori greeted the people Max introduced her to. There were way too many for her to remember names and she was only mildly interested. Football players and cheer leaders were not her people really. She chuckled to herself at that thought. She hung out with demons, human-animal hybrids, robots, wizards and warlocks, cyborgs, elementals, and any number of other strange beings on most days. Making small talk was sometimes tough for Tori when there were bigger things to worry about. She sat herself between Alex and John, nodding hello to Alex. "So, Tori, is it? How did you meet our Maxie." Sandi asked with an innocent smile, meant to disarm someone. Tori was a bit taken aback that Sandi would ask her a question. Smiling back, she realized she couldn’t tell the complete truth. “We, uh, met in the library. Believe it or not, Max does actually hit the books sometimes.” She chuckled a bit. “And we just found we had some common interests, like martial arts.” "Yep, teen superstar, Always like have women who can can handle themselves without help." Max smiles and takes a swig toasting everyone. The banter continuing around the tables for the next few hour while everyone eats and drinks. Midway through Max and Tori slipped away unnoticed, Max having signed the open ticketslip for the pizza and bar tab with a 22% gratuity included. They made plans to meet up for a patrol...

  4. written with Tenaxa PCU Stone-Craft Pizza Max sat back and drank more beer, before reaching for another slice of pizza. He watched Tori to see which way she would be leaning towards. Max had reviewed her hero record after their first meeting. Tori rep as Tenaxa was solid with the FBSA and the PPD in befriending him she placed her status with them in question should they find out. Max of course had already come up with a plan should that happen. Max toasted Tori and took another swig. “Honestly, sounds like whomever this vigilante is, they need help. Every two-bit metahuman mercenary, criminal or thug is going to be after them.” Tori sat back, thinking. “Not that I agree with this vigilante’s methods. He’s kinda brought this on himself. Maybe he could be convinced to lighten up a little.” She says, now only picking at her food. Tori scoffs. “Shit, I always think I can save everyone. What do I know. I do my thing, everyone else does theirs.” "Well if they just locked them up. Arrest all the fascists, disbanded groups like Malta and the Tsoo, and buried criminals who deserve it forever, then maybe he would, but until then I don't think so." Tori cocked her head at Max. There it was the black and white of it, Max's smile faltered the tiredness somewhat visible in his face, before he smiled again, he hoisted his beer. "Too Long Life" Tori raises her glass and clicks his glass. “One of my best friends spent a couple years in the Zig. One of the sweetest people I know. Pretty sure she didn’t deserve to be locked up forever. Or attacked by some vigilante. I mean, sure there’s people that deserve it but if you’re going to work as judge, jury, and executioner, you better not make any mistakes.” She takes a long slug of her beer. Two waitress entered the room one carrying two more pizzas and the other two more pitchers of beer, followed by people, who came in and grabbed tables. "Woot woot, Firstto the Zaa." Manny called out. "Great study hall, Max, thanks" Summer said walking in with Alex, who was followed by J-Tom and John. Both the latter were carrying more pizza and pitchers of beer heading to their table. Max waved and smiled as people showed up. He turned towards Tori; "You gonna hang for a bit longer? If so remind me to tell you about Saul sometime." Max said while drinking more beer. Tori looked over the now large group. The cheerleaders already hated her and heck, Manny probably did too. Not sure that one could form opinions on his own. But she figured what the heck, why not cause a little drama. She looked at her beer that was still about three-quarters full. She focused for a moment and threw it back, finishing it. Stifling a burp she looked at Max. “We might as well join your friends. Looks like it is going to be a long afternoon.”
  5. PCU- Stone-craft Pizza Written with Tenaxa Max walked over to the bar with Tori and started chatting with the manager pointing to the closed off area. Minutes later Max headed to the private party room carrying a pitcher of beer on a tray of mugs, leaving Tori to carry the first pizza that was ready. Tori rolled her eyes. Of course Max knew the manager and could arrange for the private room. She chuckled to herself as she picked up the pizza as well as some extra napkins and such, and followed Max. Guess there wasn’t going to be much studying done today. Max set out the mugs and then poured two beers. He sat down at the rear table against the wall and watched Tori carrying in the pizza. Max grinned, "Your crazy weekend or mine?" Tori sets down the pizza and serves a couple pieces onto a plate and slides it over to Max then serves herself. “Well, mine included a drunken night in Pocket D with some new friends. That took a weird twist and I am not even sure what I’m dealing with there. More mystery and intrigue for sure.” She bites into the pizza, thinking as she chews. “I should introduce you. You’d like them. They are a bit crazy but a lot of fun.” Max devoured the first slice and had started on the second while Tori was filling him in on some of her weekend. He grinned when she mentioned he needed to meet her drunken girlfriends to party. This Max would enjoy that but this Max was just a character. "That sounds like it could be fun, you all have invites to next week football bash." Max said while finishing that slice and grabbing another. "So" Max looked at Tori for a moment before continuing, "On my way to the airport I ran into a few friends of ours they were very chatty once properly motivated. Seems our 'Friend' has been marked for death by several groups and he is worth enough to make me think about collecting on him myself." Max took a bite of pizza. Tori paused as she brought her glass to her lips, then slowly lowered it down. “Marked for death is not a trivial thing. And from several groups? That’s a lot of attention to garner.” She picks up the glass and takes a long drink. “You’ve piqued my curiosity. Do you have more info or are we as blind as those groups looking for them? And who are those groups?” Max finished chewing. "Well, Marcone's, some new player Tsoo, that may be more of a mistake, I think Crey and Malta. Plus a few independent looking for a fast 25 mil." Max finished that slice and eyeballed Tori. “No surprise there’s a lot of attention for that kind of bounty. Good or bad, right or wrong, this is pretty extreme for the target.”
  6. written with Tenaxa PCU-The Green Max came out with a light stroll as he hit the open area he dropped his shades in place and started looking for Tori. A minute later he walked up to her with a smile. "Hey sorry about that, That's J-Tom, I mean Jenn." Max smiled at Tori Tori looked up and grinned at Max. "She's really marking her territory." Tori chuckles. "Not sure why, she's got all the goods." Tori winks at Max. She starts to say something else but bites it back, deciding maybe that would be inappropriate. Max looked at Tori while she was commenting on Jenn and sorta chuckled. He stretched his hands up over his head, as Tori continued. "So, you got some updates or what? I had a crazy weekend so time to get back to work." "Oh a crazy weekend was it? Well let’s head to that beer and pizza place just off campus cause; A, need a slice, B, Want a beer, and C, yer not gonna make me drink alone are you?" Max had reached and was now hanging from a branch looking at Tori. “I would not leave you hanging.” Tori chuckles. “Stone-Craft Pizza is the name of the place. Let’s go before you pull that tree down.” Tori gathered up her things and pocketed her phone and headed across the quad with Max.
  7. PCU - The Green near the Drama Cafe' Jem smiled brightly seeing Rasputin and called the others over quickly. "Hi Ras, this is Lui, Aarron and that's Peter. Everybody this is Rasputin the artist." Jem smiled. Lui nodded and Aarron gave a rimshot hello pointing at Rasputin. Peter gave a slight wave as he said "Hi." Then he turned to Jem and the others. "Okay guys I need you to focus. That was meh and you know it. So this one cover Holding out. Lui start the vocals, Aarron and Jem back up vocals, keep rythem on Solo." Peter said with a smile. The band started again this time the music and vocals sounded smooth and generally pleasing. As Lui belted out the lyrics to Bonnie Tylers famous song, Arron and Jem rocked the song hard with a repetive rip edge sound..
  8. The Green near the Drama Cafe' Slowly a few people began to show up in the area sitting around reading poetry, chatting and sketching. Closer to an outdoor patio area a few Students began setting up to play music As a young looking Asian girl help a older skinny black kid set up his drum set, Jem came rushing up to them. She spoke quickly to them as they finished up the small drum set up. As Lui pulled her Keyboard out and put it on a stand, Arron began setting down a two three beat, Jem waved to Rasputin calling her over while she took out her bass guitar and set it quickly picking up the beat laid down by Arron and Lui. Gram jumped out into her case and just watched. "Don't be haters today we are doing What I Like about you. I'm Lui on the boards, Arron on the drums and Jem on bass. So put your hands together for the Lotus Rockers!" Lui Finished the intro's as one guy clapped hooped and hollared. They were bad not run them off the stage bad but bad enough that they cringed a bit, and Jem's impromptu solo didn't help. They finished the song and several other people half clapped, glad they finished. Jem looked out to see if Rasputin was still there,
  9. PCU - Metahuman Studies Class Max frowned at Jenn's move he would have scowled but he did have to give her points for style. John sighed visibly, Alex shruged. Max's smile returned as he bear hugged J-Tom to him and kissed her neck. Then in one simple twist and spin he set J-Tom down next to Alex. Max turned back to Tori offering the the orginal hug with a grin. Jenn was still in hug mode when she realized what happened. As Max stepped in to give Tori the hug, John filled the gap. Max turned and pointed at Alex then J-Tom and John. "Class, Lab," Shrug and Grin From John "Lab" Max pointed to himself "Free track. What about you Tori?" Max continued to grin. "John's going to Lab I can skip, if your hungry." J-Tom said quickly John shot Max a look and then placed his hand on J-Tom's shoulder. "Lets get to class J-Tom, Alex. Max practice field or lunch?" John add flatly. "Lunch everybody, pass the word pizza and beer." Max said with a smile at Jenn. ((OOC: Sorry for the long overdue post RL issues have kept me away from the cyberuniverse Glad to be back.))
  10. PCU - Metahuman Studies Class The Professsor stopped speaking placing the chalk down and then returned back to looking at his students. He watched as many followed suit. Notebooks closed, textbooks and papers went into backpacks. The Professor noted which students were out of place like his football players. They were late as per usual he would amend the attendance record showing they were there. His eyes fell on the clock in the back of the room as he spoke. "Next week will be lecture presentation by Dr. Sanstad all information will be on the test. Class dismissed" He said as the bell sounded. John closed his book and placed it in the bag shutting off the recording equipment and stood up moving next to J-Tom. Max stood up and covered the distance to Alex and Tori with a smile. Alex had just finished putting his stuff away as Max leaned on his desk. "Alex Tori, Tori Alex, How was your weekend Tori?" Max said with a grin. "We met that's John and Jjj..." Alex responded with, as Max offered an open arm hug to Tori. John met Tori with a head chin up move. While J-Tom slid under Max's arm to plant herself between Tori and Max's possible embrace. "I'm Jenn." Jenn smiled with an extended hand. This athlelicly built woman with shoulder length brunette hair hazel eyes and a heart shaped face stared at Tori.
  11. PCU - Metahuman Studies Class The professor droned on about moreaus very few students rasied their hands or interupted the professor, If the question wasn't worded correctly or the interruptiom was just that the professor would chastize and belittle the student never answering the question and then it would appear on the test. Max sat back and glanced behind him to see Alex and Tori talking. Max smiled focusing on the professor and the provided addtional information and insight into those people. J-Tom focused on the professor and the chalk board. She had learned to read the professors notes. J-Tom had copied all the important things and then all the professors repeat words and once he had said a word three times it would appear on the test. John Gauge sat reading a book from his bag that had nothing to do with the class. He kept the bag on his desk the pencil mic always pointed at the professor as the camera filmed the class. Alex Young had stopped taking notes, Who did this girl 'Tori' think she was, and why did it bother him what she thought. He knew why it did. "Can you not tell Max what I said." Alex looked at Tori.
  12. PCU - Student Union Jem grinned at Raz and quick;y finished her salad putting the leftover bit of Tuna in a napkin inside her bib with Gram. "Okay well remember we meet just outside the Reeve building other side of the Drama Cafe. They have a nice coffee bar inside if you drink coffee." Jem smiled then stopped she remembered the hand shake and wasn't sure it a hug was good, Jem looked at Rasputin and then gave her a respectfull bow. "It was very nice to meet you Rasputin and you too Grout. Hope to see ya later. Don't forget me okay." Jem then picked up her bag and gutiar case and with a small mew from Gram they head to class waving bye to Razputin...
  13. PCU - Metahuman Studies Class Alex just smiled politely at the ribbin Tori was givin him. "Seriously or Well ya know how it is; go to parties, drink and pick up all those um..." looks at Tori with a smirk "Castoff's. I believe that what ya said." Alex grinned and then he became serious. "I'm not a real party kinda guy if ypu're looking for an invite to one of Max's Bashes I can get you in no problem. It would be a Thank you for the notes." Alex made the obivious check Tori out move because it appeared to him what was expected before contuining. "My steady is Football, I go to events/parties Max or the coach say's to go to. Otherwise I'm in the gym, the ball pit or practice field running plays. I am a quarterback. I plan on going to the Show. My uncle was in the show for many years thats my plan too, My competions is Max, and he knows it. So I'm not a Joyboy he wins that all by himself." Alex shut up quickly, kicking himself for spouting off. Alex returned to making shorthand notes. "Sorry about that."
  14. PCU - Student Union Jem smiled back at Rasputiin while finishing her salad. "How long would it take? See todays A track. I got classes for the rest of the day, next break will be this evening," Jem said with a slight frown. She was interested in what Rasputin had said. Then she remembered, "Actually Ras between 4:15 and 5:00 Me and a couple of class mates get together and play a bit, you're welcome to Join us then you could hear me play, What doya think?" Jem's smile returned as she pulled out her notebook and wrote out the location where they would be at.
  15. PCU - Library Liv finished shelving the first row of books and then went and grabbed a book cart. She took the books off tha cart and stacked them on the study table then rolled the empty book cart back to the isle and just stacked the rest of the books haphazardly on the cart. The stacking was a work of art. A few minutes later Liv was down stairs and waiting to talk to Ms Binks. "Yes, young lady?" Ms Binks said looking up at Liv. "Ms Binks, you sent me to the wrong place." Liv said bluntly. Several students stopped working and look over at Liv who stood there in what Ms Binks would call floosy clothing, while snappin gum. Ms Binks looked at Liv intensely and let Liv's eyes follow hers to the sign listing many things including no gum. Ms Binks returned back to staring at Liv who pop a small bubble. "YOUNG LADY." Ms Binks said sternly and held out a trash can at Liv. Liv realized she must not be allowed to chew gum and spit it out. Ms Binks looked highly annoyed. "Now the next time you come to the library please follow the rules. I believe you may have not given me the proper information. You were looking for Maps, treasure maps if I recall correctly. That is cartography. So I most certainly did not send you to the wrong place did I?" Liv kinda just looked at her and whispered. "No mame, but you don't need to be so mean, I ain't done nothing to you." A large crash came from upstairs followed by a louder, "Sorry I'll clean this up," Liv flinched still under the gaze of Ms Binks. "Young lady you're in Miss Lopez's class correct?" Ms Binks picks up a book off the bottom shelf and holds it out for Liv to see. "Yes that the book she told us to get the Treasue Map book by that Roberts guy." Liv reached out for it but Ms Binks pulled it back to her desk. "Library card." Liv gave Ms Binks her card and while Ms Binks checked out the book to Olivia McCoulson, Ms Binks said. "This is a fictional book written by Robert Louis Stevenson the title is Treasue Island you need to remember that it will be on your test." Ms Binks finally passed her the book and Liv held it close then smiled. "Thank you, but your still a meanie." Liv raced out of the library hearing Ms Binks sternly shouting "NO RUNNING OLIVIA!"
  16. PCU - Metahuman Studies Class Even as Alex sat there his tablet chime. "Thanks Tori, they will help alot. We had a Booster club meet and greet we all had to attend. Um... So I'm the back up QB, for the Bullet. I do get to play tightend sometimes. I practice all the time with Max. He runs the plays with me." Alex sorta sat back figuring this conversation was over as far as most students who followed the team were concerned Alex was a space holder, Max started and won games. To date Alex had ran two perfect plays aganist Virginia Tech during the 4th quarter setting up a scoring run of course Coach put Max in to score the touchdown. The Statesmen had won that game by 5 touchdowns. He smiled at Tori.
  17. PCU - Student Union Jem kept looking at Rasputin pushing her food around with her fork. "Ras, um you don't mind me calling you Ras, iffen you do I'll stop. I'm not some cute little thing, when I change I grow very big, glow and it's kinda overwhelming even for me. I would never hurt you, I promise but some people get very scared. I'm not sure I'd want ya to remember that. I would like ya to remember me tho." Jem ate another bite and wiped her eyes with her tyedye longsleeve shirt.
  18. PCU - Metahuman Studies Class Alex looked in several directions before his eyes fell on Tori. Normally everyone talked to Max or one of the senior players. Alex gave her a quick smile and then. "Me, I mean yes. Thanks, Umm , Oh I'm Young, #3. Alex Young, I play football, of course you know that, What's your name?" Alex sat there trying not to look as stupid as he felt.
  19. PCU - Student Union Jem picked her head up and looked at Rasputin, tears streaked her face. "My song, I've never sang for you, You heard me sing before?" Jem looked at her case and at Rasputin. "You're not talking about my singing are you. I'm sorry I should have known that." Jem sat looking at Rasputin. "I um never looked at myself I barely look in mirrors at all. Why would you want to paint that?"
  20. PCU - Student Union Jem stopped and shot a dirty look at Rasputin. "Yea all the time in front of my house, on my school locker, On my Mom's car while she was at work, even my best friend stopped callin me. People drew me all the time and lets not forget the things they wrote with them: Mutie, Trollgirl, Freakazoid, Rockslag, Ya wanta hear more their are plenty." Jem had returned to normal, It was obivious she was trying not to cry now. Gram had climbed back into the bib of the overalls and began purring and making biscuits on her.
  21. PCU - Metahuman Studies The class had just returned from break and had four very late students show up; Max, J Tom, Alex, and John. As the late players and cheerleader made there way to their seats Max saw Tori and gave a head nod smile hello, J-Tom had a slight scowl on her face and took Alexs seat as she pulled Max down to sit next to her with a smile. John saw what was happening and with his own grin sat down in J-Toms normal seat. This left Alex to stand around looking for empty seats either up front or in the back, Alex chose the back and sat down a few seats from Tori. As class resumed Alex just stared up at the ceiling after watching J-Tom pawing Max and Max Just sitting with his arm around Jenn.
  22. PCU - Student Union Jem ate her her tuna salad while feeding Gram. She listened to Rasputin and thought that it was interesting about resident life. Jem smile fell at the question of parents. "Oh I was an okay student, Seems the plan was for me to go to any school I wanted," She said bitterly. "I just wasn't accepted to the local college, Harvard sure MIT sure including special provisions due to being a mutie. I chose Paragon City University, the City of Tomorrow, the City of Heroes; a place I could fit in. I'm on a full ride get outa town mutie from the Township of Stoneybrook special needs scholarships." Jem face had taken on a crystline appearance while she spoke, full transforming as she finished, gram stopped eating and rubbed up on Jems hand mewing ssoftly. Jem sighed visibly. "Sorry I did it again didn't I" she whispered to Gram. Jem kept her face facing down not looking at Rasputin
  23. PCU - Student Union Jem smiled at Rasputin "No it dosen't it just allows me to use it off campus at different eaterys like Coldstone pizza palace and places like that near campus is all." Jem leads them back over to there table. As soon as she sits down Gram leap outta her bib trying to get to the tuna salad. Jem just slides a piece lettus with tuna on it to him and laughs. "So do you live in the dorms?" "I'm 3rd floor Sinclaire building"
  24. PCU - Library Liv stood there like a teen feeling stupid her smile fell as she just lowered her hand. "Sorry for bothering you. Thanks for makin sure I wasn't dead. I'll get this cleaned up and talk to Ms Binks again about that treasure book." Liv turned her back to Professor Coburn and picked up one of the books and placed it on the shelf and then another.
