School Assembly, Friday Afternoon, The Auditorium

"Hello, Fandom High students and faculty! This week's assembly comes to you out of necessity due to the cost of construction. Our speakers today have a focus on corporate sponsorship and are here to show you the good side and bad side of such sponsorship. Now if you'll give our guests your undivided attention, we can begin!"

[OOC: Same deal as last week. General conversation threads are nice and open, reactions to our guests can go in their threads after they have pinged in, and same for Q&A. Thanks to my assembly volunteers for contributing. :)

ETA: The sprinklers were set off here and will be going until shortly after a faculty member busts those responsible. Faculty members? Nail them!]

During the assembly, there is plenty of time to talk amongst yourselves. Please do so here.

Bel was in the audience. Bored out. of. his. mind. He started bouncing a small ball of fire between his hands for something to do.

Zuko was really starting to wonder why so many people showed up to these things. You know, beside the fact that that one guest speaker had the worst hair ever.

He was definitely getting bored when he noticed Bel playing with fire. Literally. A quick glance around told him no one was looking and then he conjured a steady flame in the palm of his hand. The flame, of course, was just a little bit bigger than Bel's fireball. Not that he was competitive or anything.

Bel looked sideways at Zuko. He snorted and increased the size of his own fireball. Two could play at this game....

Being the only firebender around here, Zuko wasn't about to be undone by some demon. An intake of breath and the flame increased. Zuko leaned back in his chair and started moving the flame from one hand to the other.

Oh, no, he was not going to be shown up by some little punk who thought he was the master of fire. Bel concentrated on his fireball, easing the size up again. He bounced it on his palm, glancing over at Zuko and lifting an eyebrow.

The challenge was clear, but increasing the flame would be way too noticable. Adding a second flame in his other hand? Totally acceptable.

Zuko smirked at Bel.

Bel growled under his breath. He didn't have Zuko's minute control over fire, but he made up for it in raw power. He also didn't care about being noticed. He clapped his hands together, quenching the fireball in his hand, then quickly conjured another, bigger one.

Zuko sneered. They could be here all day if they were going to to just try to outsize each other. He let both flames die down and grabbed a sheet of paper form his messenger bag.

His eyes flickered as he glanced over at Bel. The paper disappeared between his hands and smoke escaped from between his fingers. When he opened his palms, ashes fell to the ground.

Burning paper was easy. Bel released the fireball from his hand, letting it hover over at his shoulder. He leaned back, crossing his arms, as the fireball continued to float at his side, as if waiting for a command. He cocked his head at Zuko.

Jake was staring in fascination at the Klown, and then he pulled out his sketchpad and began sketching a sequence of scenes he'd call 'Evil Klown vs Monotone Girl'.

Setsuna was about to doze off, when she was awaked quite harshly and suddenly by water raining down from the sky. She let out a surprised sound, at first for just getting wet, but then...she gasped, eyes widened.

And where there was once a Setsuna, there was now a slightly glittery albino crow. Her red eyes darted around the auditorium as she hopped slightly on the bleacher seat. Oh God, oh God, oh God, please, please, please have it that no one saw that. Oh God, oh God, oh God.

Jude, being the good, attentive boyfriend that he was, was not only close by but had definitely seen it. He held out an arm to her, not just wanting to grab the panicking crow, trying to shield her from, well, everyone. "Time to go?" he muttered.

Flapping her wings in a general release of more panic (thank God, thank God, thank God Jude was there), Setsuna hopped onto the offered arm. Her claws dug into him a bit as her wings fluttered as she tried to catch her balance. She knew the arm would be unsteady, though, so, once there, she carefully climbed up to Jude's shoulder, hoping she wasn't digging her talons too hard into his shoulder as she settled down and glared in general displeasement at the ceiling. She gave a mumbled growl in the back of her throat that translated into a irritated yes.

Jude winced a little at wee little girlfriend talons, but didn't complain. He lifted a hand to pat her once, consolingly, before heading carefully out of the auditorium. And he figured hey, no time like the present for a bit of experimentation, right?

In broken Bird, he tried, //Can you understand me?//

Luke was now drenched and more than a little weirded out by two people who could just make fire.

He sat back in his seat and tried to concentrate on the speakers.

His mind kept wandering back to his phone call with John, though.

Molly moved from where she'd been sitting to a seat less directly underneath the spray of a sprinkler. "Hey, Luke," she greeted him, as she took off her hat to try and wring out some of the water. "Interesting assembly."

"Normally I like water," Luke said, giving the ceiling a suspicious look, "but I wasn't expecting it here."

Molly rolled her eyes at Zuko and Bel. "Things like that happen when two hotheads can't take it outside."

Luke rolled his eyes as well. "Soooo immature."

Molly sighed. "This assembly is boring. At least the sprinklers helped keep me awake."

"That's for sure," Luke agreed, glancing around. "Think anyone'll care if we leave early?"

Molly grinned. "We can always just say we're going to get dry clothes."

Luke stood up, eyes sparkling with mischief. "What are we waiting for, then?"
