Live Action Cluedo [Josh]

Emma nodded around a mouthful of toast when Josh asked her about Operation Patriot. "Well, I'm just saying, they're army guys, right?" She gestured to her mouth when she chewed, then swallowed and flailed animatedly. "What would army guys want to do with Hammel aside from recruiting meta humans into the army?" She frowned. "Then they can make it compulsory for the students to spend a selected term in the army or forces, and that's it."

So maybe she was getting ahead of herself, but she believed passionately that the army, that any army, was not to be compulsory and definitely not use meta humans to gain an advantage. Setting her plate down, she ran her hands through her hair and then picked at the nail polish on her nails. "I think it's a pile of crap, seriously. Hammel was fine before these cretins showed up and now they're sneaking around doing suspicious crap. If it was anything above board they wouldn't be keeping it a secret."

Heading into the kitchen to put her plate in the dishwasher, she flopped down next to Josh and then rested her head on his shoulder. "I was also reckoning we could try and organise some sort of fun thing for the students, 'cause they're so miserable after this talk crap that they need to cut loose and have fun. That and the hurricane - it's been a crappy few months." Emma swallowed then, and patted Josh's leg.

"How about I get a cup of coffee brewing and we brainstorm some ideas and get some other people involved in storming Patriot's headquarters?"

Emma was clearly in thought as she chewed her lip. Maybe if she could teleport into the Patriot headquarters she could find some sort of manifesto and bring it back to Josh? But then that would be illegal trespassing and she didn't think even Sean could get her out of that one.

"Oh no no." She shook her head. "You know Charl- Sean's lecture about sex? Well that went really bad, basically a small group of students tried to pull a funny prank and it wasn't funny. Not like the great sex toy rain of 2007. Anyway, loads of naked pictures popped up on the screen of students having some horizontal tango, and Mia-the-bitch was clearly spying on people for her sexually depraved voyeurism or something." She wriggled her hand in a circle as if trying to get to the point. "Either way, Verax called me about it then I had a look around and everyone looked SO down. Talk about smacking the fun out of the Institute."

Taking a big deep breath, Emma snuggled up on Josh and grinned. "Sean was right, you are pretty awesome." Offering her hand out for a high five, she tapped her cheek. "We need proof that Operation Patriot are up to something. How about I go into the Headmistresses office when she isn't there and see if I can find something on them? Or I could ask that technopath guy I know from the record store to snoop." She mused, wrinkling her nose.

"Weeell, Charles is all for meta rights, Verax'll go to anything if it involves him yelling, Robbie might go, then for adults... there's always your little group of dudes, right? Leila seems pretty chill, I bet she'd join in. What about Janice? Some of the teachers might be kind of pissy about the interference." She headed to the kitchen to make the coffee, then grabbed a pen and paper.

Jotting down two lists, she tapped the pen to her lip and grinned. "Any ideas for a pick-me-up event we can organise? Like a rave? Or a roller disco, or like... that thing where you hire out an old house and you play that game where someone's the murderer and you have to figure it out before you get killed. Like live action cluedo. That'd be fun but someone like Verax would claim he was a vampire and come back to life. Maybe it's more an adult event."

Emma, on the other hand, believed there was something amusing about Vincent suddenly ripping off his clothes and crowdsurfing in the Auditorium, but then she didn't think Josh would see the amusing side of that. "Yeaaah. It was pretty crap from what I've heard. I mean some people wouldn't care, but from what Verax told me, it was mostly the people who wanted their private time to stay private."

Emma loved Hammel when she was there - or she had done after the whole feeling horribly away from home when her little sister needed her. But there was always something that kept the school full of fun, and it sucked that everyone was now sulking.

"It's suspicious. Very suspicious." She concluded, shaking her head. "And they're keeping everything really quiet too, which is even more suspect." Her nose wrinkled, and she folded her arms. "There should be a list of names people use when they're clearly going to be bad. Anything with domination, patriot, command, liberty... they're always dodgy."

Jotting down the names she'd previously listed, she tilted her head. "If we get some of the teachers on board, they'll have more say." She nodded, clicking the end of her pen.

"Oh! Uh... it's Clue. It just sounds better in England because iunno, you can imagine these lords and ladies killing each other all ninja like." She explained, patting the note pad. "But I dunno, it seems a bit mature for the idiots I know." She shrugged. "A rave would be way better, there could be glowsticks and uv lights and orgies..."

She grinned.

"Okay not orgies." She waved her hand, then peered at Josh. "What do you suggest, Magneto?"
