Episode I Summary: The Mysterious Midterm Exam

​


[Friday, January 13th]


 


The episode opens up a notice from the staff letting them know that the Midterm exams have been scheduled for 2 PM that day. Instructions are to meet up outside the gym and bring gloves.


 


Director Swan, is sitting at his office finishing preparation for the day. It's mentioned that whatever the Midterm exam is, some kind of obstacle course had been constructed by the drydocks, with snow, and spare equipments, just for it. Then he gets out from his chair, exists the office and goes to Ms. Page's (the secretary) desk. He asks her if she had printed the instructions for the exams yet.


 


The students start arriving.


Ren Lee and Morgan Brahn are in the same car, along with two Commonwealth agents. They're from the same school but different grades. A little nervous, Ren introduces herself and Morgan kindly replies, also introducing himself and then he ask her if she knows where to go for the exam.


 


Ms Page, who had already started to copy the new instructions, though frustrated about it, asked if there had been any problem with the instructions she had sent before. Swan simply replies saying that they had to change the plans because of the weather, revealing that the exam now is actually a snowball fight.


 


Meanwhile, Roza, Avira, Maurice and Jasper all arrived at the shipyard. Roza discovers she needs gloves for the exam, Avira gets distracted and crashes into a wall, Jasper is bored and Maurice is worried about the entire AEGIS experience. Escorted and pushed by two agents, Bruno Clare Liew stumbled his way through the docks. He ended up hitting Maurice's foot with his crutch and panicking begged for her to 'not use her powers to erase his existence from the world', apparently he's had trouble with others in the past.


 


At the same time, Red was overlooking his assistant finishing to build the obstacle course and, Greg Masters and Leo de Luca made their way to the facility. Having read the part of the notice that pertained him, Dante Niccals, a student, knocked on the door of Ms Page's office to take punishment for having (or not, he could be covering up for someone) vandalized a couple walls, promptly asking for the cleaning tools that he could get started on the task. Director Swan gives the boy the instruction on were to get the cleaning tool, with an emphasis on 'IF' he really was the culprit.


 


More students arrive.


Rei Rinaldi brought an extra pair of gloves and offers them up for Laurel Hale, but she refuses the offer as she has a pair of gloves herself, then Laurel tries to recall who Rei is because she's certain they've met on classes before. Before getting to the facility, Cecilia checks her e-mail on the bus and discovers the exam instructions too late, she hopes someone can lend her a pair. On the next bus, Seiko Suzuka is frantically searching her bag for gloves to no avail, she mentally judges some of the people inside with her and the finally reaches the facility. Mitch just arrived to Baltimore from a plane trip, she takes a bus to AEGIS and encounters Seiko, who is an acquaintance, they chat.


 


Denzil De Klerk, the teacher for Political Powers, bikes to facility 108 and catches sight of the obstacle course and confused, decides to check on the news with Swan. There he sees Ms. Page, who was not looking happy and giving the new instruction to Grag Masters, he stays outside the office. After being lost in the corridors for what seemed like hours, Cecilia ends up reaching said office and ask Denzil for help with getting some gloves.


 


All the scenes continue, there's lot of chatting but eventually, Director Swan uses his power to boom his voice through the school, rushing everyone to the drydocks where the exams are going to to be taking place.


To help up the unsuspecting students, Greg Masters brings up a box to the drydocks, filled with pair of gloves for those who didn't have any.


Denzil takes Cecilia to the Teachers Lounge and lends her one of his own pair, introducing himself in the process and asking if she was moving to the drydocks too. Cecilia is very grateful for the gloves and promptly introduces herself too, then she asks if he's going to take her to said drydocks since she had no desire to get lost again.


 


Meanwhile, Klaus von Scheiffer, the Disciplinary Counselor, and the students: Marianne Ross and  Ioana Călătoru arrive at the facility. Ioana being a convict is dropped by a couple agents, but they did not uncuff her before doing so, thus she asks Dante and Red (who had come to overlook the in his cleaning task) for help with them. Red promptly freed her and gave her the exam instructions (He also rushed Dante's cleaning task). Eden joins the scene and he had been part of the vandalism along with Dante. Feeling guilty at the other boy cleaning the wall by himself, he offers to pick the task from there, but Dante mustn't tell he had been a part of this to anyone in exchange.


Klaus passes by the cafeteria where he sees Benjamin (Who has been there for quite a while writing his diary entry, listen to music and eating), he promptly tells the student where he should be for the exam and since he's going to the same place, takes Benjamin there.


 


Following up, everyone mentioned before eventually makes it to the drydocks. Some are excited, others are bothered by the cold, and some don't even know what to expect of this Midterm exam. The staff are together wondering if there's anything else that needs to be done before they start the announcements.


Asher and Borislav, both staff, arrived at the facility and were soon approached by Ms. Page who was working hard and giving the new instructions to all of the teachers. Upon finishing that, the secretary goes back to her office only to be greeted by an e-mail labeled 'URGENT- Prisioner transfer', it is about Ioana. She goes to Swan to check on this.


A student also arrives, Joh Ha-Eun had been lost in the corridors for a while and finally makes it to the drydocks.


 


Talking about the drydocks, Red goes up a raised platform and slams a pipe into the railing to call everyone's attention. He announces that for the 'Snowball war' exam the students are going to be separated in two teams, Red and Blue. Powers are NOT allowed, but taunting is, and if you get hit three times you're out of the game.


The teams were as follows:


 


[COLOR= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Red Team:[/COLOR] Roza, Maurice, Morgan, Dante, Laurel, Seiko, Marianne, Benjamin Aiken and Joh Ha-Eun.


[COLOR= rgb(54, 101, 238)]Blue Team:[/COLOR] Eden, Ioana, Mitch, Cecilia, Rei, Bruno Clare, Jasper, Avira and Ren.


 


Director Swan let Ioana go and participate in the exam, while Page is standing-by, frustrated. It's clear that Swan knew about this already and did not say a word to her... Why is she always the last one to know?


The students position themselves in the course. Red on North, Blue on South. Greg Masters throws a snowball at each group to motivate them, wishing them good luck.


 


The snowball war officially starts and this is everything that happened on it:


(Side note: Since the site changed, the rolls have been lost so, If it does not explicitly say someone's snowball hit someone or anything of the sort, you may assume it did not reach the target. >w<)


 


ROUND 1


On Team Red, Morgan was really sketchy about the possibility of hitting his friend Bruno for a grade, and was also thinking about hitting Red with a snowball, making a bet of twenty bucks about hitting one of the teachers, with the girls beside him (Mary and Seiko). Mary teases him saying that he should raise the bet to pay his hospital bill in case he succeeds.


 


Eden promptly took the leadership of team Blue and set up Maurice as everyone's target. Bruno, Cecilia, Ioana and Ren all attack Maurice from the right, while Mitch decides to flank her by the left, suggesting they attack in pairs.


 


ROUND 2


Back on Team Red, Maurice is alarmed at all the snowballs coming her direction. Two of them passed rather far from their target and the next three were all spectacularly dodged. Then Maurice sent a snowball Ren's way. Dante and Joh Ha-Eun each threw a snowball on Bruno, Mary throws a snowball at Eden and Seiko went for Ren. Still bothered about hitting Bruno, Morgan in a moment of despair throws a snowball at Cecilia, he is so so sorry...


 


Cecilia, of Team Blue, is hit by Morgan in the face and retaliates, infuriated, even stronger. He'd better be sorry now!!


Ioana takes the opportunity and sends a snowball at both Maurice and Morgan. Eden, acting leader of the team, keeps ordering them to attack Maurice and does so himself, followed up by Ren and Mitch. Bruno Clare was hit by Joh Ha-Eun's snowball and sent one the girl's way back, it completely lost it's target though.


 


As the event was going on, several teachers were watching attentively and/or talking amongst themselves. At Morgan's confirmed hit, Red decides to make fun of the boy, Implying he was a bad person for only targeting people who looked weaker than him. The Military-like teacher also uncovered a tennis ball launcher, which was filled with hard snow, shooting to try and 'motivate' all the students that remained idle during the exam so far.


Leo de Luca teased/flirted with(?) Page by making fire related puns (Yes, he said she was looking 'toasty'......), Greg Masters attempted to get him to stop it, but when the teacher replied with 'sweetheart' all hope was lost. She yells at both of them and strolls out to the cafeteria. There she eats her lunch but being upset the way she was, doesn't resist and eats someone's cheesecake that had been left in the fridge. She'll have to buy another for them at some point...


 


ROUND 3


Back to the snowball war, Maurice from Team Red had received a barrage of snowballs her way again. She got distracted watching one of the snowballs and got hit by other two. Then, breaking the game rules for a bit, Maurice used her ability to motion track the last snowball, catching it in the air and sending it back to it's sender, Eden.


Dante shot another snowball at Bruno and this time also targeted Joh Ha-Eun, and Marianne targeted Ren. Morgan, after having been 'destroyed' by Cecilia's snowball and hit in the gut by Ioana's, is angry at Red's statement, and sending the man a telepathic blast of 'I hate you so much right now', threw a snowball his way... But it didn't travel far enough.


 


On Team Blue, Maurice's throw missed Eden (He might have dodged but we lost the rolls...) and he promptly sent the girl another one. Mitch follows his lead right after. Horrified by the fact she had so violently hurt someone with a snowball, Cecilia tries a less powerful shot at Maurice and fails. Ioana targets Morgan this round. Ren was hit by Marianne


 


ROUND 4 (Barely)


Ioana's shot hit Morgan in the face and with that being his third hit, the boy is out of the game. Marianne congratulates herself for hitting Ren and tries for the girl again.


 


Meanwhile, guilty, Ms. Page called a cab back home. But when she gets there, after buying sweets and the replacement cheesecake, there's a very urgent letter by the floor mat. She grows alarmed, packs her stuff and leaves Baltimore. (Family emergency, perhaps?)


 


On facility 108, Red slams the pipe again to grab everyone's attention. He announces the end of the Snowball war with Team Blue being the winner and just like that, orders that everyone go to their classes now.


 


[ FINAL SCORE: Team Red: 3 Hits || Team Blue: 5 Hits ]
​


 


~~(The next part has been set up in the wish to make understanding of all the scenes more logical and easy. All these scenes develop pretty much at same time, but in different locations and thus, are not necessarily in chronological order bellow >w<)~~


 


Some members of Team Blue take a moment to congratulate themselves and the teachers leave to set up their respective classrooms.


Mitch and Marianne went to Political Powers, taught by Denzil. In the way there, Mary meets Emma, a student whose power is, in very easy words, changing the pull of gravity on objects she's touching/standing on. Turns out Emma had watched the entire event while hanging upside down on one of the facility buildings.


 


Leo de Luca, who taught Physical Discipline at the Gym, called for a pizza delivery.


Meanwhile, Luci Tolbert, who finally arrived to the facility after his school teacher decided to hold him after class and make him late for AEGIS, wanders to the front desk and asks Riley, the security guard, where the Physical Discipline Classroom is. She takes him to his class, but crossing paths with the pizza delivery guy, picks one one of De Luca's pizzas, bringing it back to the front desk.


Since PD seemed to have only one student, Leo de Luca decided to join his and Denzil's class BUT, discovers the pizza thief and changes destination plans. 


 


Ioana approached Eden in the hope that she can be his roommate or get a place to stay, since she had just been dropped at the facility, luggage and everything. Eden then, who didn't had any classes that day, offered his place for her to stay and took her to his apartment  Everything seems more or less fine until he started talking with the air, which he seems to believe is his mom. Ioana rolled with it, but is already planning on only staying until she finds somewhere else to live at. Eden then offered to show Ioana around the place.


 


Cecilia wanted to apologize to Morgan so, as soon as the exam had finished, she ran after him recalling his surname since Red called him by 'Brahn' earlier. Morgan took a while to realize he was being called, initially going pale at the sight of the girl who pretty much broke his nose... He panicked and apologized, trying to explain that he only threw it at her to avoid throwing it at Bruno. Cecilia quickly interrupts and apologizes as well, not really certain she even deserves forgiveness...


 


Everything was going smoothly at Denzil's class when a new student appears from nowhere, naked and smoking. Lucas Marsolet, had tried his best to come to the facility in time but, first the bridge was blocked and he had to turn his car out, then a plane accident happened in front of him, causing a pole to fall and block the road as well. At last, he's forced to travel through the tension lines until the classroom, leaving everything else, clothes included, behind.


Denzil walks out of class for a bit to get Lucas a fire blanket to cover himself, meanwhile Emma can't stop giggling. Even after the boy gets his 'cover', Marianne discreetly films him, and after editing the video a bit to give the impression the boy was still naked in the clip, posts it online. Denzil informs Lucas that he might find spare clothes on the gym, but can't go with him because he has a class to teach. Lucas seemed okay with that and leaves the class going to the gym for clothes.


Once there the boy went through the metal doors of the gym (the blanket can't go and has to stay in the hall), wandered inside the locker room through the keyhole and then opened up a locker from inside. Bam! Finally some clothing! After all that, he passes by Political Powers class to return the fire blanket to Mr. Denzil and rushes to Mental Discipline class... or tries to.


 


On the front desk, Luci sees the naked boy in the the cameras and alerts the security officers close by, Riley and Praxidike. The security officers then got out to patrol the facility after this stranger, Praxi goes near the gym and Riley patrols the hallways. Eventually, Riley and Lucas meet, though not in a very pleasant way. She comes running in his direction and to protect himself, Lucas drops in a ball on the ground to trip her. It kinda works, but she ended up dragging him along, pinning the boy down. Riley asks for a hallpass, but Lucas is restrained and can't really reply, without mentioning that the soporific drug mix Riley is exhaling (without really noticing) makes it even harder for him to do so properly. He then proceeds to pass out and the security officer calls for her colleague, Praxi, on the radio. Praxi takes a while to appear so Riley decides to take Lucas to the infirmary herself, she needs it as well after everything.


 


Political Powers class continues normally. A new girl joins them, Tabitha, and Denzil asks Mitch to introduce herself to class. Mitch does so not just saying her name but also demonstrating her 'Borrower' ability. Using Tabitha's power for a bit, she grows in size until she hit the ceiling and then reverted back to her original size.


 


Leaving Ioana settled, Eden leaves his apartment, walks around and ends up at facility 108 again, there he sees a big robot cyborg thing with a green helmet (Think Mr.Freeze and you're not too far) and it talks to him on the corridor. Chris Kravitz arrives at the facility -after having to ditch an agent back in the car because of the traffic, and parkouring over all the other vehicles- and runs into Eden, promptly asking concerned about the strange sounds he can hear coming from the corridor (That's Riley btw). Red butts-in and teases Chris saying that 'if the howling bothers him, he might not last long' and also asking if he knows which class he's supposed to attend to. Chris responds with 'Political Powers' and then asks if Red is the Principal, Janitor or a Guidance Councillor.


The strange robot hallucination talks to Eden about a 'they' who are coming back and then walks out of existence. Upon setting his attention to the conversation happening beside him, Eden introduces himself and decides to play a bit, telling Chris that Red is 'the best Guidance Councillor of Baltimore'. Of course, Red doesn't like the joke and threatens to throw him out of the window... Chris then starts believing Red is a poor Guidance Councillor...


 


After a long succession of apologies, Morgan offered to treat Cecilia to his family's bakery the next day, which she agrees to, though not really comfortable with having him pay anything for her, since she's also guilty. He insisted thought. Then they recall they should be at Mental Discipline Class. With Morgan leading the way, they both arrive late.


 


The facility's new Collateral Damage and You teacher, Aaron Mallory, was leaving for work when a child runs by him to the streets, unaware of a SUV that is fast and about to hit them. To save the kid, Mr. Mallory throws himself in front of the vehicle, causing it's front to, upon impact, bend around him in an 'embrace'. He checks the driver for a concussion, making questions such as where he was and what the date was, and then calls for an ambulance. While Aaron tried to calm to the crown around the place, the driver, who was infuriated, decided it would be a good idea to punch the super. It wasn't a good idea and the guy broke both his hands in the action.


A lot of things happened afterwards, but getting to the point, Aaron Mallory was very late for his job...


 


Mental Discipline class was rather strange. Asher had set up a Boombox beaming loud music during his intro-speech, the man was screaming a lot and talking very fast. Nonetheless, it wasn't a bad speech, he talked about what the class was for, learning how to concentrate, control ones powers even when in distressing situations, and also gave a plethora of examples of situations where anyone could easily let control of their abilities slip. Then he announced that this was not how every class would be, dismissed the class, picked up his boombox and left the room.


 



TL;DR -> The students arrive and are, at first, unaware of what this midterm exam, where you require gloves to participate, is. Turn out it's a Non-powers Snowball War and everyone is divided in two Teams Red and Blue. Blue starts in the offensive, but Red has Maurice who is a great dodger. Despite all the missed and dodged snowballs, Team Blue wins. Surprisingly, only one student is actually hurt, Morgan Brahn, and that's mostly Cecilia's fault...probably.



After the exam, all the students are sent to their respective classes. Some classes happen and go smoothly like Political Powers and Mental Discipline. While others don't even happen for various motives...
Student Lucas Marsolet is not having much luck today and eventually finds himself in the middle of a BIG misunderstanding. It ends with him being assaulted and (accidentally) put to sleep in the hallway by Riley, the security guard. She takes him to the infirmary afterwards and everything is fine.

PS: There are lots and lots of dropped out characters in this episode... So, don't mind if they disappear >.>





I tried to make this the most logical and easy to understand possible BUT, Episode 1 is so chaotic because there are always a BUNCH of scenes happening at the same time... Also, all the broken coding and lost dice rolls really get in the way QAQ
This might have too much information (I am bad at summarizing things >w< I really tried :3 ), there could be some grammar errors here and there and it is rather simple worded, I think. But ho, this took a lot of effort!!! \ O /

  • People that were in this episode, feel free to tell me if I skipped anything important or super interesting that deserves the spotlight (I don't think so, but...)
  • And newcomers, feel free to yell at me if this does not make any sense or anything... If you want more information on some of the characters I could help too, since their profiles have been long gone >w<

I'm going to be working on the Episode 4 thread as I nurse this headache. Everyone, please do your part to welcome our new players and help them get settled into the roleplay!
 
Welcome new victims players to the wonderful world of AEGIS! Hopefully, you'll have a long and eventful time. Or you'll have a short and ignominious ending at the business end of an ostrich's foot...

Oh thank goodness, I'm not the newbie anymore. XD


Welcome one and all to the chao- I mean, wonderfully organized and calm RP known as AEGIS.
 
Except for the part where my spreadsheets are horrendously out of date.
 
Interesting factoid! In 2040, Easter Sunday will coincide with April Fool's. This has no bearing on the story, I'm just enjoying imagining Jesus popping out of his tomb like "April Fool's! I'm not dead!"
