I11DT - Oblivious

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as additional housing and classroom space for the Institute. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for both the Institute and those University students on a meal plan. Student reactions have been mixed, and reports of paranormal activity are as of yet unsubstantiated.

And that's when Haley almost had a pang of guilt....almost.

"Well I didn't *do* anything," she said with a bit less anger in her voice.

"Steve, shut the fuck up, he didn't do anything," she countered, anger quickly returning to her voice as she spat back at him.

Cal snorted a laugh at that. "For all the bitching she's doing, she isn't taking the site down," Cal pointed out. "Look at it, it's her blog, it's got her address on it, she could take that down any time she wants. Actions speak louder than fake tears."

Kay opens her mouth a couple times, trying to come up with something - anything - to say. In the end she just bursts into tears and runs out of the room.

And that was when Cal lobbed Kay's bowl back at the table. Rather accurately at Steve's head.

The bowl struck hard and, after being briefly disoriented, got up and faced Cal. He was furious. Those around him could feel the ache as if the bowl had hit him.

"You little piece of shit..." he spat. His angry gaze sent with it a tingling sensation of heat.

"Cal!" Haley protested as he threw. She tried to grab it with her tk, but either missed or just helped it aim better accidentally.

She shook her head to try and clear it of Steve's projection and tried to throw up more shields of her own.

Cal just smiled back pleasantly at Steve, standing up himself. "Sorry, you need something?" he asked, furious himself and hiding it fairly well.

Steve's telepathic presence was surprisingly powerful, though primal and poorly focused.

He stormed ahead, closing on Cal who would now feel the blow Steve himself had suffered.

Cal winced, until his pain signals started getting rerouted and suppressed. "There we go. Let's see it, big guy," he taunted.

The lights began to flicker and any electronics in the area would start getting some weird distortion as a black smoke started to gather around Regan.

"You little bitch bitch," Regan muttered. As she glared at Haley, wishing she could do something to make her pay, the smoke around her started rushing along the ground towards Haley. As it got close, a screaming specter erupted out of it and charged towards the girl.

By the time the phantasmal scream erupted, Steve had thrown his punch at Cal's chin.

Cal took the punch, disconcerted at how his vision got static for a moment as he reeled, catching himself on the table. "Who taught you to punch like that, your little sister?" he taunted back at him as he turned back toward him.

Mercy abandons her meal and pulls away from the chaos, wings carrying her up to the ceiling briefly. For the great view... safety, for her safety.

The doors to the dining hall fly open with a bang as if thrown open by a gust of wind.

"That's about enough!" Nailah roars and while none of the lights change or anything shines in from the outside everything in the dining hall suddenly seems much brighter somehow. Regan's smoky specter dissipates while Haley and Steve would feel some sort of presence radiating from Nailah. Haley would probably be somewhat reminded of the Sea of Tranquility while Steve might be able to 'see' the source of the brightness almost as a fist-sized ball of light above her head.

Mercy's power floods her in Darkforce, turning her into a blot of darkness by the far wall that slowly recedes to show her face.

Nailah makes her way over to the table that seems to be the center of the commotion. "Mister Strong, would you please stop taunting him? And Mister ones, I'm extremely disappointed. And you two..." she says, turning to Haley and Regan, "...need to learn how to settle whatever qualms you have with each other more peacefully. That goes for the rest of you too."

"I don't want to hear who started it. You're going to sit down and finish dinner without starting another brawl. I know this is a new situation for a lot of you but if we can't get along with each other we can hardly expect the humans to."
