Alleyways and Alleyways

[Draiken]

Draike used his powers to 'whoosh' the plates out of Inara's hands, catching them just in time. He heads towards the kitchen himself with a small smile.

His father, still seated, shakes his head, a similar smile on his own face. "Well, as soon as Draike gets back, how about giving us a tour of this Academy before we make a decision? What better way to choose than to see the school itself and perhaps meet this Xavier person you mentioned?"

Draike returns from the kitchen and has an appearance of being ready to leave. "Just a question though," he remarks quickly. "What are the X-Men?"

[Zeus]

Zeus looked over to the televison and snapped his fingers, allowing the picture to come on to the specific station. The news anchor stated, "And, in recent news, the X-Men recently stopped a nuclear meltdown in the Alaskan Frontier. A renegade mutant had gotten loose and begun to tear the nuclear reactor apart from within, citing it was for the betterment of the Alaskan people."
Mike snapped his fingers again to turn the televison off and then said, "The X-men is a group of mutants who believe we are here as the next evolution of man, often heading off on missions to help save the world from those who wish to harm others who live here, mutant or non-mutant. Protectors of the peace and balance to sum it up in a nut shell."

[Draiken]

Mr. Taran raised an eyebrow in surprise and interest at the news channel Mike brought up. "Quite an interesting group. A very good chance for Draike to exercise his powers."

Draike was no longer in the room, however. He dashed upstairs to pack up. It wasn't that he wanted to over-train himself to join, but making a comment was too hard for him to think of at the moment. As they said, actions spoke louder than words.

Downstairs, when his father noticed his disappearance, Mr. Taran shook his head. "Well, I think that means that Draike wishes to join. We should go soon before it gets too late."

[Zeus]

"I agree. It is beginning to get late and we should be heading back to the mansion. I take it Drake will be ready soon judging by the speed he ran up there. Anyways, I will call the mansion to send a vehicle to pick us up in. No use trying to brave the dark alleys alone at night."

[Draiken]

"Personally, I think you, Ms. Inara, and Draike can handle yourselves quite well in the alleyways," Mr. Taran remarked with a chuckle.

"Done!" Draike announced after sliding down the banister and jumping to the floor, a duffel bag across his shoulder.

Draike's father chuckles some more as he gets up from his seat. Draike got everyone's coat and whooshed them to their respective owners. "Thank you, Draike. Very considerate of you," Mr. Taran replies jokingly, putting on his coat.

Draike leaned against the wall, his excitement ebbed down a bit. He could wait a while longer, all night even.

[Zeus]

(sorry it's taken so long. Been busy with Legacy Island, my Pokemon RPG).

Mike opened the door to the night as he snapped his fingers, sustaining a bit of thunder on his fingertips to light their way. He then said, "I called in a flight vehicle nearby so we can get back under the cover of night. Hope that is acceptable to everyone."

[Draiken]

OOC: Not a problem. At least you posted.

BIC: Draike raised an interested eyebrow at the idea of a flight vehicle. How much crazier could this day get?

Mr. Taran, on the other hand, was a bit more skeptical, although he hid it well and didn't say anything. A flight vehicle for a short distance (according to Mike)? He supposed that it wouldn't be that bad, but it seemed unnecessary.
