Silver Academy

Tamashi slowly turned the corner of a hall. He had stopped a few times in the Arts department to look at the truly bewildering projects, most of them being bad imitations of anime from his home country. Now he in what appeared to be a Mathematics department, judging by the duller, less colorful halls and classrooms.
And there she was.
At the end of the hallway, that familiar slim figure that years' time had not stolen, the one on the scrolls that the Order had forced him to study day and night. And of course, her distinctive weapon, the only one of it's kind.
Within seconds, his katana was out of it's sheath.

Victoire followed Phillip and Jack's instructions up the stairs to the mathematics hallway. It was eerily dark.... But not entirely quiet. She paused, pressing herself against a poster advertising the benefits of learning Geometry. "Do you think they're here?" She whispered to Phillip, barely a puff of air above her breath.

Lauren followed as quickly as she could, reaching behind her to pin back her hair as she walked. Slipping through the door, she flashed him a nervous smile. "Are you scared?"

"Okay, that's fine. I'll do that." Although she didn't want to admit it, Maya was kind of relieved. Nothing too big. That suited her fine, still being a rookie. She continued to scour the building, looking for any stragglers. And it wasn't long before she found what looked to be one; a tallish boy with a scar on his face. He seemed to be looking at something. "Uh, excuse me?" she asked, approaching warily. "You really shouldn't be in here. It's not safe."

"Red team," Jack said softly. "Your target is in the main mathematics hall. There's someone else there, too, but they're in a blind spot for the cameras. All I see is a hand with a sword. Do not respond to this, stay stealthy. They're not moving." 

Carefully, Philip slipped his notepad and pen from his pocket, pinning it against the wall with his wrist and writing with one hand. There's a group of lockers partway down the hallway. A turn left off to the side. Hide out there, watch, and attack from a distance when ready?

Fernando entered the building behind her, closing the door. Fernando paused, returning Lauren's smile. "Absolutely." He held out his shaking hand for her to see; the physical representation of his feelings would not sit still, as if electricity ran through his veins. At the sound of Jack's voice, he looked up and continued down the hallway. "Relax, Mama Bear. I'm closing in on the room." Fernando identified the locked door leading to the engineering room. Taking his gauntlet out of his book bag, he let out a small blast that obliterated the lock. The boy entered the room with caution and turned on the lights. "This is great," he whispered, half to Lauren and half to Jack. "Give me three minutes and I'll have something cool."

The boy glanced at Lauren, quickly returning his focus to his work. "There's nothing wrong with that, you know," Fernando said as he connected wires inside of a sphere. "I once saw this TV show-- I forgot the name, but it was British-- and they said something really smart. I don't remember the exact words, but basically, 'Fear is a superpower. It can make you faster, and more clever, and stronger!' I mean, it's true. It's great to be a scaredy cat,-" Fernando paused, wiping his hands on his school slacks. On the table in front of him were three metallic balls, with a few wires sticking out here and there. He put two in his pockets and picked up the third one, walking over to Lauren. "As long as you don't let it stop you from doing what you want to do." Slowly, he took her hand and placed the third ball in her palm, closing her fingers around it. He looked into her eyes, and his genuine smile was replaced with a sly one and a wink. "Also, not to be cliche, but you're cute when you're scared."

(hey, Dawnmist, I'm not sure if it bothers you or not, but I noticed that in my post I made your character, Lauren, close her fingers around a ball that my character, Fernando, placed in her palm by taking her hand. I'm not sure what the rules are on this site, but some would say this counts as me controlling your character in my post. Just so I don't make a mistake later on, is this acceptable, or would it be better not to include my characters slightly moving other characters (just like taking their hands or a shove, nothing huge) in future posts?)
