Welcome to Mutant Manor (CS; Open to 1 or 2 more)

Grinning at Ash’s question Sam just held his arms out and watched how quickly everyone took the pizzas frowning slightly Sam snagged a whole Pizza from one of the younger students as he said, “Share with your brother we have a guest…” he opened the box and took one then held it open for Ash to grab a slice.

Laughing slightly at Shin, Sam made a gesture to Ash as an introduction and said, “Shadow, Shin. Shin, Shadow” Sam took a bite of his pizza as he looked to Ash and smiled, “Just like I told you in the alley, it’s a school!” Sam looked over to see one of the students snag a piece of pizza with a frog like tongue from a distance, “Kev! Use your hands next time!” Looking back to Ash he said, “Well a school for mutants, teach them and help them gain power over their abilities.

Looking at all the students crowding around the pizza Sam looked to Ash and asked, “Would you like a tour shadow?”

Shin nodded when Sam introduced the two of them to each other, taking another bite of pizza. He gnawed on it tentatively, listening to the conversation between the two men, then alternated to the slice in the other hand. More nodding, more chewing. Slice one was done. “Tour, huh?” Shin paused, setting the last slice down on the plate of a passing student. The student shot him an appreciative glare, which he paid no heed. “Need any help giving the tour?” It was always nice meeting new students. He figured if they ever crossed paths, it’d be better to have more than a name and face to connect them with.

A ball rolled past them all, trailing a little mouse-weasel fur thing. A little Chihuahua skittered across the floor, on its trail, and a young male student with dog ears chased after the chaser. Music in the background was cranked to ‘MAX’. Baby Got Back blared invasively. Shin sighed. He suddenly wanted to get out of there, anyways. A little tour served both his needs~!

((OOC: Sam, I'm assuming that the nameplate on/beside the door has Sam's last name on it too. If I'm wrong, let me know and I'll change it.))

It seemed the tour was getting started just in time, as it appeared a party was starting there in the entranceway. A party Ash would have probably once appreciated. His college days were long over at this point, though, just as far removed as he was from the ages of pretty much everyone else he had seen in this mansion thus far.

Yeah, that tour was looking better all the time.

As he followed Sam further into the building, Ash kept his eyes peeled, glancing around in a combination of curiosity and caution. And an eye on Shin. Boy that kid seemed eager about something. While in terms of appearance, he looked about the same age as Sam, Ash couldn't help but wonder if Shin was even younger based on how he acted. It had been a while since he had been 19 himself.

They didn't go far, really just down the hall, but at least they were turning into a room. A room that was apparently Sam's office, which even had signs beside the door saying so. So his name was Sam Johnson? Good to know.

Into the office Ash went, glancing around at the two desks and everything else there. Sam meanwhile had headed over to one of the desks and pulled out a map. Taking a quick glance over to Shin, just making sure where he was, Ash walked slowly over to the desk Sam was standing behind, his left hand reaching up to take his hat off as he went. Setting the hat on the desk, Ash examined the map for a few moments. As he did, Ash's hand reached up once more, quickly and deftly untying the knot and pulling the material away as his other hand ran through his hair. His head was always somewhat itchy after wearing the mask.

"Maybe start from the bottom up?" Ash suggested with a slight shrug. At least according to the map, the top of the building appeared to be mostly bedrooms; not much to see, and if they belonged to the kids who had crowded them in the entrance hall, not overly interesting, either.

“Bottom it is!” Sam said as he let out a small laugh, “Mind you this isn’t usually part of the tour, unless it is needed.” Exiting his office while the other two followed Sam maneuvered his way to the elevator and hit the button that said “B1” once the elevator stopped Sam walked towards the entrance to the danger room and said, “Well Shadow a warning before we go into this room, almost everything you see in here is either an illusion or a machine of some kind, but don’t let that fool you, if it’s coming towards you and it could be dangerous duck or get out of the way. “

Walking into the danger room was nothing special once you lived there and use the room on a regular basis but once you used it as much as they had the thick whooshing doors weren’t to special. But the inside however was a different story; thick metal plated the inside of the very large circular room. It was heat resistant, energy resistant and radiation proof. Basically a large bomb shelter if need be.

Once inside the room the computer started up and said, “Welcome” grinning to Shadow and Shin, Sam called out, “Computer, Giant…Squirrel!” in seconds a large six foot squirrel appeared in a show of lights and sat like a normal squirrel. Looking over to Shin he cracked a smile and then said to shadow, “If you can think it you can pretty much come up with a training simulation. We use this room to help hone the younger mutants control so they are les likely to loose control, I also teach self defense classes in here from time to time.” Grinning he looked to shadow and said, “Any questions?”

“Seriously?” Asian eyes goggled at giant squirrel. Giant squirrel eyes stared right back. Shin blinked, repeating his prior message over again, with a slight accentuation on the positive. “Seriously!” This was… kinda awesome, in a disturbing sense. Shin eyed Sam curiously. How he’d ever thought of something so demented…

Anyways. “So are we going to fight this thing or what, Ash?” He was actually looking forwards to seeing what Ash and that squirrel could do. It sure beat pizza at a party, that was for sure!

They wanted him to fight a squirrel. A giant, holographic squirrel.

It might be fun, might be entertaining, for the kids, but Ash was no child, hadn't been for a long time. Plus, it was a hologram, and those tended to need light to work, didn't they? Ash's powers didn't work so well with light.

And then Sam mentioned that he thought Ash had more tricks up his sleeve than he had already seen. Turning to look at Sam, an eyebrow raised at how he was trying to go about this, Ash shook his head. Well, there might not be enough shadows around the squirrel for him to do anything, but there certainly were shadows behind Sam and Shin.

"You think I've got more tricks up my sleeve?" Ash repeated Sam's comment as a question while he formed two shadow people, one behind each of Sam and Shin. Two was easy. Only two, and two not doing a whole lot, Ash could still function completely normally, not having to focus too much on them.

"And what if I'm not wanting to share what those tricks are?" Ash continued as he had his shadow people step forward so they were right behind the two younger men. Had the shadow people raise an arm and tap Sam and Shin on the shoulders before they disappeared into simple shadows once more.

"Plus, I don't fight pretend squirrels."
