Issue #2

Aeon Crow, Omen, Void Fist
The halls are clear, though not quiet anymore, you can hear people starting to wake up as you go. When you get to the faculty lounge you see that it's empty and mostly untouched by the day's shenanigans, save for a girl around your age trying to get the coffeemaker to work.

Polaris and Procyon
The entire floor of the classroom and some of the lower parts of the walls have been turned into some unidentifiable goo, so everyone end everything in it has sunk into the basement. They all look unharmed, but still unconscious, except there's one guy who you can see peeling a patch off one of the other students, who Emma recognizes as the one who started melting stuff after the shadow exploded. He looks up and you can see that he's wearing a welding mask that covers his face completely. "Oh, hey."

Cammy and Mimic
You don't have any problems peeling the patch off, and as soon as it separates from Kyle's skin Cammy can feel the energy she's been siphoning abruptly cut off. "Uh… thanks? What was that…?"

Mimic, you can see the frozen girl sitting up and rubbing her temples. "Ow… what the hell?" Ice is starting to spread from the spot where she's sitting.

Aeon Crow, Omen, Void Fist
The girl clearly knows you're there, but she doesn't bother paying you any attention and sits down to look at her phone.

Polaris and Procyon
"Uh… I was in shop class when that Rumor exploded. Figured I'd borrow the mask, you know. Just in case."

Aeon Crow, Omen, Void FistBefore any of you manage to get overly close to her, you can practically feel her roll her eyes at you, but she doesn't bother looking up. "I don't think I said you could speak to me."

Polaris and Procyon
"Uh… not a lot really." He pulls out a cell phone. "I figured out where the Rumors came from, met up with your guys' team, sort of, and picked up three of the six patches I know about, but no idea what the patches actually do. There's only one patch left by my count and besides that it just says "Wait For Backup.""

Cammy and Mimic
"So… what now?" Kyle leans down to rub the spot where you ripped the patch off his ankle before he realizes something. "Wait, does your entire team go to this school?"

Mimic, she's starting to ice over again, though not as severely as before. "What, no, I-- hey, aren't you that robot kid? What the hell are you doing in my gym class?"

"Okay, in order: Girl had a patch on, she started making these 'gossip elementals' called Rumors, you probably don't know me personally but I'm keeping the mask on, and it's easier to just say I know because I do and explaining it to people is weird."
