Near Emma's office, but not inside.

Holly J had set herself up behind a corner to keep an eye on things. This is exactly the sorta shit she didn't want at her school. It wasn't right, it wasn't fair! Why couldn't she be in a nice safe place without sudden criminal attacks? She couldn't go in there and talk to them, that was nuts. She could fight, but she wouldn't win, that was more nuts.

So all she could do was keep an eye on things and keep trying to call the staff, or the students at the conference, ANYONE! However every dialing attempt met with the phone system being overloaded. Something else was going on, something big, or these guys had some way to keep the phones busy. Cass would know how to deal with this, she's good at this sorta criminally spy stuff.

Holly J was a cheerleader who could plan the best dances... what could she do?

[love_hurricane]

After his initial plan to try and gather what remaining staff were in the institute had hit the colossal brick wall of all means of communication being over-ridden, Sanji had made the inevitable decision to see what could be done by meeting the gathering of invaders face to face. He had no misgivings- he was a force to reckoned with, but he'd read and heard enough about the ominous Brotherhood to know that he would have no real chance of winning in an open confrontation. All he could hope to do for now was provide a distraction, whilst hopefully preventing any students (or teachers) from making a decision that they would regret by trying to join them

[queenwitha_j]

Well, at least some staff is still here. That's good, "I'm sure that it isn't advisable to be here... but," she gathered her courage, which usually is rather large and assuming... when criminals are not involved. "I couldn't just stand by, most of the staff isn't here. The least I could do is keep an eye on them. I'm fast enough and strong enough to get away too!" While she sounded defiant, she kept voice low so they didn't attract attention.

"I didn't think running away was right, especially if it meant they could talk to some of the students that are here that might listen to them..."

[love_hurricane]

A slightly fawning smile lights up his face at this defiant response; putting on a brave face whilst genuinely acting in such a noble manner, how admirable! He manages to regain his more sincere composure before answering.

"That's precisely my concern... unpleasant though the thought is, there's a few who might be swayed to join if they come by them." He leans against the wall next to her contemplatively. "So, we can either go in there and cut off the snake's head, or try our best to stop others from wandering into its teeth."

[the door bursts open, and two terribly large faceless mooks step inside. one is green and one is pink]

Well, I gotta say, this is a fascinatin' new development, Lou.

Right you are, Terrence. Right you are.

Not every day you see someone got the cojones into Ms. Frost's personal office. Wonder why that is.

Could be 'cause she'd turn their minds to jelly, Terrence.

Could be. Or it could be 'cause of us.

[the pink one cracks his knuckles]

[still recording]

[yepnorway]

[ Fay glances up sharply at the entrance of the mooks, but upon seeing them smiles brightly. ]

Oh, it looks like we've some unwanted company! [ he very quickly grabs his friggin' huge gold staff, which has been lying across the desk behind him, aiming it at the pink one. ] I'm so sorry, but Miss. Frost isn't here to jellify anyone's brains - this is a private meeting and you're not invited.

[ pink mook, you are now being conveniently dropped just outside of the school grounds. and you shall not be getting back in :) ]

[a_whiter_shade]

WHAT DID YOU DO TO TERRANCE, YOU SON OF A BITCH?

[whips out an ivory-handled pistol and does his level best to shoot the staff out of Fay's hands. meanwhile, Terrance makes a Very Important Phone Call]

And it's Ms. Frost to you.

[crystalshackles]

[ did that girl just kick the bullet out of the air. ]

[ fuck I think she did. ]

[ fucking speedsters. ]

[ceilingsniper]

[So. One person he knows to two he doesn't. Not the greatest odds, but whatever. He can deal with that.

He is not, however, going to be sauntering in through the door. Instead, he sneaks in through a warphole - it drops him out on the ceiling. How long will it take before anyone thinks to look up?]

Halls outside Emma's office, closed for Sasuke and Axel

[crayolamutant]

[she slows noticably as she and Sasuke approach the office where the Brotherhood are cloistered, uncertainty showing in her face] Are we really going to...

[the question trails off as she sees a familiar shock of red hair and she moves forward a little] Axel?

[usedhypnosis]

[his own rather terse reply is cut off as well, but he isn't really surprised by Axel standing there.]

[maskedinferno]

[he's about to go in himself, and only stops when he hears a familar face. Axel turns, and glances down at the pair in front of him, raising his eyebrows just slightly that Namine had come--and what seemed to be willingly too--ignoring Sasuke for the time being. He's not surprised that he's here either, but that doesn't mean he's particularly happy about it]

Hey there, Squirt.

[crayolamutant]

[noticable, perhaps, is the still-red line and bruising around her lip; it seems to be part of the catalyst that's driven her here. She looks at Axel and then at Sasuke, and back to Axel again, as though searching for some kind of cue from one of them, and finally speaks again rather timidly]

Are you leaving?

[cafedeinfierno]

[One of the school counselors has taken it upon himself to march over to Emma's office himself, but he does not engage the Brotherhood. He positions himself in the hallway near Emma's office with a thermos of coffee over his shoulder and leans against the wall, watching who comes and goes with little other indication of what he's thinking.

Toasterfaces are handy that way sometimes.]

[dustsrobots]

[Norman approaches, dressed as impeccably as usual, although he is carrying a little something extra today.]

You know, in my day it was considered polite for guests to announce themselves at the door, not simply waltz into a lady's private office. Such rudeness really, what is dear Erik thinking?

[cafedeinfierno]

[Godot smiles casually at him, pouring a cup of coffee out of his thermos.]

This kind of thing happen often in academia?

[He gulps the coffee down in one go, then pours another.]

[dustsrobots]

One of the factors one must take into account when educating students as special as ours I'm afraid. Poor Master Xavier will be most distressed, I do wish he and Erik could settle their differences.
