Second Vector * Action

[onewayroad]

[It's late afternoon, early evening, the sky's just started to get dark. A slender figure exits from the woods. He looks oddly solemn, if a little satisfied. As he approaches the sidewalked parts of campus, he pauses to survey the buildings. He taps a foot against the grassy earth beneath him; nothing special, just aimless tapping. He nods his head silently without looking down. Then he bends his knees and, with the swiftness of a spring-loaded catapult, jumps onto the roof of the nearest building in one fell swoop. There, he begins racing across the rooftops, springing upward or sprinting forward until he lands on the top of the tallest building. Distance and height are no obstacle. His speed is insane.

So if you're outside this evening, you just might spot a blur of a figure running from rooftop to rooftop until he finally leaps from the tallest building. At the last second he lands easier than a leaf that floats its way onto the ground. He straightens, brushes his hands together, and heads for the nearest vending machine.]

Need a drink. And after that, it's time to check the perimeters of this place. Just how large it is.

[ .. Academy.. City..? What kind of place is that supposed to be, he's never heard of that before either! Shit, but if he says it, then this guy might think he really is stupid, right?! Ugh, this whole situation just sucks.. ]

They would've talked about that stuff in Hope's Academy too if it was really that important! I mean, shit, we would've had a Super High School Level ESPer in the school if there really were people who could do that!

[onewayroad]

Unless that person was one of those rumored super rare Gemstones, not likely.

Now it's obvious you already saw what I was capable of. Do you plan to continue claiming it's not possible, or do I need to demonstrate again? It'd be such a pain, but not difficult in the slightest.

[tsunball]

M.. maybe I was hallucinating! Or dreaming! [ Then again, isn't that what he thought about the last guy too? And that one turned out to be real in the end.. ]

Just show it again if you really want to prove it..!

[onewayroad]

[taps lightly on the ground. Cracks in the pavement immediately spiderweb around the both of them]

There. I doubt you can claim that was a hallucination or a dream, dumbass.

[tsunball]

[ He jumps back a little at it, but it's mostly out of surprise more than any conscious reaction, staring at it with wide eyes. No way, no way.. something like this can't be real, can it?! Not even in some afterlife, this is way too strange..!! ]

S.. so are there more people who can do that in this place?!

[onewayroad]

[Sighs. typical reaction from someone unused to seeing powers at work.]

Possibly. I don't make a point of getting to know others.

[tsunball]

[ And so Leon arrives at a very elegant and eleoquent conclusion: ]

This place is just fucking nuts!

[onewayroad]

You must have lived a very sheltered life.

[Accelerator, you are not one to talk here.]

[tsunball]

Not at all, man! I was super popular at school [ that's.. sort of a lie.. ] and even way outside that! [ the same. ]

There's no way in hell you can call me sheltered!

[onewayroad]

Popularity and shelteredness aren't mutually exclusive.

[eyeroll]

In fact, frequently they go hand in hand.

[tsunball]

How the hell does that work?!

[onewayroad]

Because being popular doesn't make you worldly. You can be the big shot of the fish tank you were born and still know jack shit about everywhere else.
