3.1: The Academy Arcadia

Nestled the southern neighborhood of Lakeside, the Arcadia Academy was a small private school bounded on three sides by a forest and overseen by the formidable first peak of the Atlas Mountains, mount Stanley.

The campus is picturesque and said to be a mirror image of the estate of the late 19th Century. The frontage provides that image, with manicured lawns and a central Victorian-style brownstone building as the Administations building.

The Arcadian Academy was no more than a decade old.  Prior to it's current incarnation, the grounds were the site for a Bohemian-style educational experiment. The school fell on hard-times in the past decade after word of a scandal emerged, and newcomer Tech billionaire Maximillian Mars joined the board of directors and initiated a hostile takeover.  Now, after a couple of years of exdtensiv remodeling, the Arcadia Academy has been in operation for almost five years.

It is not widely known that the school is specifically for the metahumanly gifted.  But it is widely known that there is a sizable metahuman population at the school.

BY the time they arrived, class was out of session.  There were a couple of teenagers throwing a football back and forth, a few people sitting on the grass.  But mostly, the grounds were quiet, pastoraly serene, and undisturbed.

So, simple opening...  what's the plan of approach?  Did you call ahead?  Did you arrange a meeting with Thomas Morgan?  Or are you hoping to catch him unaware?

Punching Bag had called ahead to be polite that an admirer of his work was interested in an interview. He motioned for the other to join him in the administration building where they would be shown to a meeting room.

OOC:  Definitely want someone to call ahead and arrange for a meeting.  With a bunch of metas hunting down the members of the Donitz program, we don't want to send the wrong message with having Tomas Morgan get spooked by the sudden appearance on campus of a group that includes obvious metahumans.

"Nice place," Alicia observed with appreciation as the group crossed the grounds on the way to the meeting.  "Much nicer than some of the schools that I attended, at least."

School had been tough enough when she had been just a typical teenage girl.  She couldn't imagine what it would have been like trying to do it while having powers, especially the ones that she currently had.

OOC: Yeah we'll have some of our people call ahead, but Sphere is gonna orbit everyone over there ASAP rather than wait for a helicopter or something. He can fly faster than that anyway and he wants to get there to stay ahead of the opposition.

"Yeah...this is definitely an interesting place." Sphere said.

"At first, I suspected Maximilian Mars had an anti-meta agenda and I watched him like a hawk. But every time I think he's going to go dark he ends up pleasantly surprising me. Like by creating this school for instance. Most normal people don't know this, but he made this school purposefully to give metas a place to settle so they can focus on learning." he continued.

"I am convinced Mars probably means well but has an agenda that's a mix of pro-human and pro-meta. Kinda like me incidentally, now that I think about it." he said.

"A place like this is nice. Because the truth is most metas aren't as strong as we are, but they still have unique situations and having a safe space for them to be themselves or in the flip side not have to worry about being themselves is nice. Because these kiddos are still, at the end of the day, kiddos too and have the needs for stability any kid has."

He considered.

"We should head straight for Morgan. The longer we wait the worse it's gonna be."

"I don't know enough about Mr Mars to say for certain if his intension for this school are completely genuine,"</darkgeen> EM shrugged, <darkgreen>"but they appear to be.  I have to believe the students are benefitting from this environment.  As there's no indication they're also being exploited I'm inclined to assume the best."

Considering a moment she adds, "Surely AEGIS has a file...."

At the mention of heading to Morgan she breaks from her musing and follows to the meeting.
