GM, 98 posts Teller of Tales Herder of Cats Sat 1 Oct 2016 at 07:33 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)
The thread for the introduction of Johanna Koivunen on Friday evening, September 4th.
The students are all assembled for dinner once again, and once again their repast consists of several varieties of pizza, with sides of salad and garlic bread. As usual, Doctor Henningsen is in attendance, but unusually enough, Professor Henningsen has joined him. Dennis sits across from her, and they're both adjacent to the Doctor, who is in his place at the head of the table...

Dr Neil Henningsen
NPC, 20 posts Principal Sat 1 Oct 2016 at 07:39 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)As everyone is getting settled in to eat, Dr. H rises and says, "So before we dig in, I have a couple announcements. As you all have probably noticed, Jeremiah hasn't been around today, and his room is completely empty. That's because he has elected to go to a sister program of sorts, sponsored by the military. We, in turn, have taken in a student from their program, a foreign exchange student from Finland."
He calls out more loudly, "Johanna, please come in now."

Johanna Koivunen
Student, 4 posts Foreign Exchange Student Special Snowflake Sat 1 Oct 2016 at 12:49 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)A rather meek looking girl enters the room with an awkward looking smile. She was wearing a plain black t-shirt and jeans. As she walks next to the Doctor Neil to stand next to him, She offers the other fellow teens a small wave.
"H-hi, Everyone. I'm Johanna"

Emily Glazier
Student, 71 posts Sat 1 Oct 2016 at 15:40 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)Emily nods along with Dr. Henningsen's words only half interested until his introduction. Her eyes shoot up and she stares curiously for a moment before giving a small wave and at least an honest attempt at a welcoming smile even if it does feel a bit strained. "Hey. I'm Emily."

Keri Griffith
Student, 30 posts Shocking! Sun 2 Oct 2016 at 03:07 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)Keri glances up. "I'm Keri. Heya."

Tonauac 'Tony' Torres
Student, 178 posts "The Coati Kid" I'm Smarter Than I Look Sun 2 Oct 2016 at 03:59 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)Tony's ears twitch when he hears that Jeremiah has been transferred. Other than that, he keeps his expression neutral until he hears that they are welcoming a new student. When Johanna walks in, Tony smiles and offers her a handshake.
"Hey, nice to meet you! Name's Tonauac, but I go by 'Tony.'"

Johanna Koivunen
Student, 6 posts Foreign Exchange Student Special Snowflake Sun 2 Oct 2016 at 04:38 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)Johanna looks rather troubled when Tony approaches her and offers to shake her hand. She seems to be more terrified of shaking his hand rather than anything else as She reaches her hand towards Tony's, but looks rather hesitant and looks at the people around the room for approval before grabbing the hand and giving the Coati-man a proper strong handshake.
"H-hey!" She seems to brighten up a little with the momentary awkwardness having passed, smiling brightly at Tony "Pleasure to meet you, Tony. All of you guys!"

Blake Turner
Student, 116 posts Sun 2 Oct 2016 at 23:51 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)Blake considers the news about Jeremiah, and gives a thoughtful sidelong glance at Angel, but doesn't comment.
Blake perks up hearing that there was to be a new student as well, but on seeing her reaction to Tony, he merely offers a short nod of acknowledgement, and "Blake" when she looks his way at the back of the room.

Tonauac 'Tony' Torres
Student, 183 posts "The Coati Kid" I'm Smarter Than I Look Mon 3 Oct 2016 at 03:39 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)When Tony sees Johanna's reaction, he gives her a lopsided grin.
"I swear, I'm not a rat. I don't have mites, lice, or mange. Just be careful around the claws. They destroy clothes like nobody's business---mostly mine." He smirks jokingly at his last point.
"So, Johanna, where're you from in Finland, and what are you into?"

Johanna Koivunen
Student, 7 posts Foreign Exchange Student Special Snowflake Mon 3 Oct 2016 at 05:44 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)"No, no it wasn't about that!" Johanna gets flustered and shakes her head vehemently. She makes it sound like she had just offended Tony in a grievous manner"I'm sorry if I offended you, Tony."
She seems to relax as she also seems to realize she is overreacting about it and lets out a deflating sigh. She combs her hair back and offers another apology "Sorry."
"I'm from Wasa!" Johanna brightens "Though I spend a lot of time at Seinäjoki with my dad. I do a lot of shooting back at home. Hunting, biathlon and... Stuff like that." she shrugs with a smile.

Tonauac 'Tony' Torres
Student, 187 posts "The Coati Kid" I'm Smarter Than I Look Mon 3 Oct 2016 at 07:11 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)"It's okay, I'm just messing around," Tony says with a laugh. "You didn't offend me at all. Just promise you won't hunt me." He winks after the last part to indicate that he is very much joking. He scratches his chin as he thinks about the two cities Johanna mentioned.
"Wasa? I don't know too much about it or Finland, but did you say Seinäjoki? Isn't that where Provinssirock is held?"

Johanna Koivunen
Student, 8 posts Foreign Exchange Student Special Snowflake Mon 3 Oct 2016 at 07:40 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)Joanna's eyes widen and her jaw drops in amazement "Yeah, you're right! How did you know? There a band or something like that?"
"That's so cool!"

Student, 189 posts "The Coati Kid" I'm Smarter Than I Look Mon 3 Oct 2016 at 09:57 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)Tony gives Johanna a wide smile and a sheepish shrug.
"My memory's pretty good. If I read or hear something, I usually remember it. Plus, I'm a Foo Fighters fan, and I like how weird Nightwish is...wait, aren't they Finnish?"

Student, 10 posts Foreign Exchange Student Special Snowflake Mon 3 Oct 2016 at 10:07 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)"Yeah, they are! I love them as well, especially when Tarja was still part of the band!" Johanna absolutely beams, giving away her rather sheepishness for passionate enthusiasm. "I also like Sentenced, Amorphis, Sonata Attica, Children of Bodom... S-sorry, I'm gushing now, aren't I?" She blushes, scratching back of her head in embarrassment.

GM, 122 posts Teller of Tales Herder of Cats Mon 3 Oct 2016 at 10:16 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)Let's give Ángel the next post and then a round of the NPCs, please and thank you.

Angel Quinones Castellano
Student, 230 posts Unbreakable Mon 3 Oct 2016 at 18:25 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)Ángel listens to Dr. H. introduce the new student especially when he mentions she is from the military school. Silently he studies her and listens to the others introduce themselves. Once there is a short break in the conversation, he speaks up.
"Hi Johanna, I'm Ángel. To help bring you up to speed, I'm strong, very tough, and heavier than I look. I know everyone wants to know, but they're far too polite to ask, what kind of power do you have?"

Tamera Bradford
NPC, 210 posts Mon 3 Oct 2016 at 18:31 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)Tammy, who is seated next to Ángel, gives him a sly grin.
Actually, go ahead and answer that Johanna, and then I'll get in the other NPCs.

Johanna Koivunen
Student, 11 posts Foreign Exchange Student Special Snowflake Mon 3 Oct 2016 at 18:46 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)"Oh!" Johanna reacts as if she had been reminded of something when Angel asks about her powers. "I make Ice." She answers plainly "It's pretty cool, I guess?" she shrugs like she does not consider her powers much of anything, instead throwing the ball to others with great enthusiasm "S-so what do you guys can do?!" She glances at everyone with eager curiosity.

Donato Arantes Pedrosa
NPC, 58 posts Mon 3 Oct 2016 at 18:49 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)"This!" Donato says before his face scrunches up in concentration and a duplicate appears, fading into existence from a vaguely blueberry-hued facsimile.
The duplicate, who begins his short life standing adjacent to the real Donato, ambles over to Johanna and extends his hand, "I am called Donato. It's nice to meet you."

Daniel Miller
NPC, 41 posts Mon 3 Oct 2016 at 18:50 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)Daniel just waves, little more than a wiggling of his fingers, and then goes back to brooding over his dinner.

David Potter
NPC, 93 posts Gravity Bender 'Fraidy Cat Mon 3 Oct 2016 at 18:51 | [Main] Introducing Johanna (Friday 9-4-15 Evening)David doesn't even get that far, glancing up at the newcomer briefly before returning his gaze to someplace about a mile under the ground.
