Welcome to I.O.U. Collage for gifted individuals.

Ari

"So I'm supposed to pay for being volen-told to be a security meat-sack?" I asked, returning the sweet smile with a puzzled look while handing Hellion the wire he asked for.

'Do we at least get free regenerations? Cause that's going to stack up a lot- already had to transfer money into my student account to pay for the one this morning. I don't keep credit cards. Closest thing I have is my student-account card."
 
“Well, you know, I'd love to help, but do to a temporal anomaly, I'm already working for the next three months. So I'm gonna go ahead and say 'No thanks' to this little mission since I'm already at work somewhere else. Also, I don't really like your tone of voice. Mostly that little delusional ridge of authority in there where you seem to think anyone cares what you say. So I'm gonna go ahead and not pay any money, not get any badges, and not do anything you tell me."

Officer Allen Green glared menacingly at the winged idiot, as the guy pulled out a metal rod and asked for some wire. To Officer Green, it looked like the guy was making what could possibly be an electromagnet, but without a visible power source.

So intent upon glaring at the winged fool, Officer Green didn’t hear the other guy respond that he was not going to purchase a badge, but Officer Green did notice when the guy forcefully pinned his hand, which held a credit card in it, to the table with his other hand. He raised an eyebrow at the man’s antics, which then changed to an amused expression when the man’s own hand came up and punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground. Officer Green simply looked at the card as it landed in front of him, then back at the guy on the ground, waiting for confirmation that he was going to purchase a badge before picking up the card and swiping it.

"So I'm supposed to pay for being volen-told to be a security meat-sack? Do we at least get free regenerations? Cause that's going to stack up a lot- already had to transfer money into my student account to pay for the one this morning. I don't keep credit cards. Closest thing I have is my student-account card."

“Well, Ms. Inverse,” said Officer Green as turned his attention back to the woman. “This is IOU, and any chance there is to take your money, they will take it. I don’t make the rules, I just try to enforce them. As for the regenerations, consider yourself very lucky. Full-time security guards don’t get the luxury of regeneration, so you have an advantage they don’t. But, no, regenerations are not free. And your student account card will do just fine.”

Officer Green checked his watch and was somewhat surprised to see that only two minutes remained in the peace he imposed on the cafeteria. And those students behind him were still arguing. He’d have to deal with them before he left.

“If you wish to avoid seeing the regen room again today, Ms. Inverse, then I suggest you quickly leave the cafeteria and meet me outside, so that we may continue this conversation,” said Officer Green as he put away his PDA (not before taking a picture of the credit card for comparison to known magical objects), and stood up to leave.

He looked towards the arguing students, finding them so deep in arguing that they hadn’t noticed him getting up, nor did they notice him approach them either. A harpoon sat between them, and as he approached them, he could hear what they were arguing about, which was when to fire the harpoon into Officer Green’s back. Students all around them watched Officer Green approach the two students, waiting to see what he would do.

“Well,” said Officer Green, as he placed his hands on the students’ shoulders, startling them. “I hope you two have had a pleasant argument, because both of you are about to die. Had you two actually started fighting, I simply would have poured so much electricity into you two numskulls, that you would have lost control of your bodily functions, requiring a change of pants. But because you have persisted in not fighting until time was up, you will now have to spend several dollars and a few hours in the regeneration room.”

“Oh, and before you die, the harpoon wouldn’t have hit me,” Officer Green added as an afterthought, before pouring nearly 150,000 volts into the two students over the course of about three seconds. When he walked away, out the doors of the cafeteria, the two students were deader than a door knob, their hair almost identical to Officer Green’s hair, sticking out in all directions, smoke rising from their slightly charred skin, and a looked of mild fear and dread upon their faces.

Once outside, Officer Green stopped and waited for at least Ms. Inverse to meet him, as the sounds of battle erupted from within the cafeteria.
 
Hellion "James" McKimble

Hellion twined the wire around the rod, and completed the circuit. He looked up, and judged the area of the room, watching as Officer Green walked away. He could have simply let the electromagnet do it's work. A good Lightning Rod spell would suck electricity halfway across a room from a power outlet, but instead he opened his gun, and slid it into the chamber where the bullet would be, shielding it from use. He'd build up the spell first, maybe lace through a few amplification spells.

He got up, and walked Ari outside, ignoring the security officer. "Well, I can't say I like him. In fact, I hate him, very much. He's an arrogant, self-absorbed jackass who actually thinks he has some authority and power, mostly because of his own narcissism and delusions of grandeur."
 
Radio and Intercom

IC: *CLICK* "Pssssssssssph!" The radio started once more. "Mr. Green the Arch Dean is low on time. So we have elected to call some volunteers off a list instead. That is all. Psssssssssssssssph!" *CLICK!* The radio shut itself off.

A few moments later the school PA came on. "Good after noon. Would the fallowing security enforcers please speak the Arch Dean in the clock tower office. Mr. Sky, Mr. McKimble, Ms. Inverse... That is all."

Jamie sighed as he took the card and stood, with much resistance from his own body's will. He didn't bother to watch Sparks electrocute the two unsuspecting students as he headed for the door. Just talking to the man was building his rage meter and the card from hell was not making things any better. He had no interest in purchasing badge benefits, especially not when the said benefits will not be explained until after purchase, nor did he feel up to helping out with whatever mission they were called for...

... However, not even 20ft outside from the cafeteria exit door, the PA system kicked in. 'Good after noon. Would the fallowing security enforcers please speak the Arch Dean in the clock tower office. Mr. Sky, Mr. McKimble, Ms. Inverse... That is all.'

"Guess we really don't have a choice now..."
 
Hellion "James" McKimble

Hellion shrugged.

"Well, although we do have some options, I personally don't feel like angering the Arch Dean."

He smiled at Ari, and started off towards the Clock Tower. "Okay, so I'm thinking either a giant monster or some extradimensional horror. Those favor clocktowers."
 
"Somehow I wouldn't be shocked," Jamie muttered, suddenly appearing, walking beside Hellion at a seemingly safe distance. Jamie's normal stealth stepping would normally have scared the living daylights out of a person, however he figured neither would be frightened remotely, and even if they were, they'd probably blast him first before he'd notice, hence the short, but safe distance.

"So, what exactly is this Arc Dean like? I only got so much information out of this person, the most noticeable being not to mess with cats."
 
IC: Group: Upon reaching the clock tower at the center of campus they stepped in. The floors were fine marble in the traditional alternating black and white pattern. Off to the sides were 6 statues, 2 golden lions, 2 onyx panthers, and 2 ivory siberian tigers. At the back of the room was an elevator, the clock above clearly thought it was six hours later then it was.

Around the elevator was a series of cheap and readily available cation tape put there by a janitor. Clearly the elevator was out of order and they would have to use the fire stairs just to the back and right of it.
 
IC: Green: *CLICK* "Phssssssssssp" Started the consistently annoying radio. "Green, the is Lavender" Lavender was the one person on the security force Green had yet to pass. "As you know the school plays Moops ball for a large part of its revenue, and next week is the big school rivalry between the IOU targets," Target had made a very large donation having been founded by a former moops ball referee, " and the Mars Tech suckers. I need you to put extra effort into keeping the team alive and healthy."
