Surprise Examination [Closed]
« on: February 10, 2017, 09:21:12 PM »
Beacon Garden
Noon



Attire: Blue scrubs, Beacon uniform jacket
Weapons: Compacted rapiers (inside jacket pocket)
General Vicinity: Nobody



Sophea gently lifted the leaves of a leafy plant, turning some of them over to inspect their undersides. She let out a low hum, nodded, then moved on to the next. She had been incredibly busy since she first began working here, and now that she had some free time, she wanted to see the state of the garden.

She moved onto the next plot: a group of vibrant-blue flowers, this species particularly known for being difficult to care for. The quality of these would surely determine the quality of the gardener. Why hadn't she examined these first? As her eyes lay upon them, she asked herself the same question. She knelt down and gently examined the petals and stem. She also poked at the soil beneath one flower and found that it was still fairly moist.

"Not bad...," Sophea said softly under her breath as she continued to look for anything that might change her mind.

Kirkka had just entered Beacon Academy's garden. She was mumbling about something quietly as she walked, paying only cursory attention to her surroundings as she dragged her feet along the pathway. Her expression showed defeat mixed with fading anger, though that wasn't the first thing one's eyes would be drawn to. Her normally auburn hair was missing its usual ponytail, and had turned white. At least, somewhat white. Some kind of powder appeared to be covering much of her hair and was all over her attire and arms. Her face was cleaner, but only because she wiped the powder away earlier. Aside from the unusual, her attire was that of her typical outfit she wore when on missions, which meant she was planning on leaving or was just returning from one. Her staff remained stowed in its holster, with both of these having caught much of the powder that apparently fell on her.

She was approaching Sophea's location but had not even noticed the nurse up ahead as she let out a lengthy sigh.

A girl with long purple hair sat in the garden alone, wearing a suit of custom armor. Her hands moved quickly and deftly with a small tool as she performed maintenance on the complex dust compartment inside her left hand. "Stupid teammates. Can't handle a tiny bit of fire." Mira grumbled quietly as she continued working. Of course maybe it was her fault as a misstep caused the fire dust inside to explode, which also might have set Lyssa's bed on fire. Even so did she really deserve the string of obscenities thrown her way? She put it out quickly so there was no real harm done. "Noooo. You're dangerous Mira. Take your stupid tinkering somewhere that isn't our room. Least the plants won't yell at me....I hope."

After a few more minutes of intense focus she heard a faint but satisfying click as the mechanism returned to it's proper state. A wide grin spread across her face as she started moving her hand again. Every single piece of the armor was working as intended. "Pffft. And they said this would never work. Who needs power armor?" While basking in her victory she started to look at the plants around her. While she finished what she came here for she really didn't want to head back to her dorm. "I guess I can water the plants while I'm here..." Mira held her index finger up to her lips, when she moved her fingers in a specific manner the dust in the tip was released. "Always thought this was a useless power. Guess it's good for something. Gathering her aura into her mouth, Mira released her semblance. The water dust was transformed into a gentle mist the slowly covered the garden.

Sophea stood up in response to the footsteps that were closing in on her. She looked toward Kirkka and almost immediately laughed, only having caught it at the last moment and swallowing it back into her belly. Looking beneath the powder that covered Kirkka, Sophea was able to recognize that it was indeed the resident groundskeeper. They had never met, but she was keen on doing at least a bit of research of the various staff members of the Academy.

With mild haste, Sophea approached Kirkka while she called out to her, "Are you alright? What happened?". Judging from the long sigh, it was pretty clear that the answer to the first question would not be "yes", and from the same sigh came a curiosity that needed to be quenched.

As she neared Kirkka, her ears perked up to the sound of water splashing against the ground. Sophea turned her head to catch the source of the sound and found that it was coming from a rather imposing. purple-haired woman. She turned back to Kirkka. "Does she happen to be uh, a pupil of yours?" Being fairly new to the Academy, Sophea was oblivious to the fact that Mira was actually just a student. A fourth-year, sure, but still just a student.

Raising her head at the voice, Kirkka was surprised to be greeted by... that one person... whose name escaped her. From the attire, she was the nurse here. But they've never spoken. Her name was on the list of staff members here at Beacon. But that list was long and non-descript.

Clearing her mind of that, she shifted her outward appearance, smiling pleasantly and speaking in a friendly tone. "Ah, I'm fine. There was... an accident." A lie. It was no accident. Someone clearly broke into the dust shop on campus and trapped the door, dumping a box of this inert white dust onto the next person to walk through the door. Trying to stay focused on the conversation instead of vengeance, she continued answering questions.

"A pupil? I... not that I know of. As long as she doesn't over water anything..." Kirkka had turned to spot Mira lightly watering the nearby plants, raising an eyebrow at the uncommon gardening method being employed. "There are several difficult plants in here that wouldn't take kindly to too much water. Looks like she's okay, though." She ended with a sigh as her mind wandered back to her own predicament. It was painfully obvious that she was distracted by what happened to her.

Mira's ears perked up at the mention of her name. Looking over she saw the school nurse and a rather annoyed groundskeeper. "Oh uh. Hi Kirkka." While Mira didn't know the groundskeeper on any personal level, she had been around Beacon long enough to at least know her. Mira took a close look at the substance covering the red haired woman and blinked."Thats...dust? Did something happen in the lab? I mean if your walking around like that it has to be inert."As imposing as she might seem, she was still a nerd at her core. She started going through ideas until she came to the obvious answer. "One of our lovely student body members played a stupid prank didn't they?" A long sigh escaped her lips as she remembered her third year. Some students decided to booby trap the toilet with ice dust. She had to call her sister to come chip her ass out of the ice.

Sophea was admittedly a bit caught off guard. She was expecting Mira to be...rougher judging by her physique.

"A prank? With Dust? That sounds incredibly reckless". Sophea took note of Kirkka's eyes which seemed a little lost. She shuffled through her pockets, eventually brandishing her scroll, fiddling with it as she continued to speak. "Is this a common occurrence? Are you being tormented by the students?" She turned to Mira. "Do you have any suspects in mind?" The big-sister aspect of her managed to manifest itself with ease.

She stopped messing with her scroll, the current page displaying the various emergency numbers for the Academy. Sophea took a moment to calm herself, taking a single deep breath. For a moment, she wanted to ask Mira to spray some water on the powdered woman to clean herself off, but considering the situation, that would probably make things worse. Instead Sophea removed and held out her jacket to Kirkka so she could cover herself up if desired.

Kirkka nodded in response to Mira's greeting, splitting her attention between the student and faculty member evenly as she replied to their queries.

"Not entirely reckless. This is an inert dust. It has uses with SCF components and is useful for practice. So at least I won't spontaneously combust..." She finished her statement with only partial confidence in it.

As for student suspects... Kirkka thought about her answer for a few moments, recalling a memory from about a week ago. Her sister Kaali was telling a story about a prank she heard about from yet another person. By now, it seemed like the story had moved far enough through the grapevine that it was littered with falsities. And eventually, Kaali ended up sidetracking herself off the story by changing to complain about one of her instructors, and how she'd love to pull something on him. Kirkka thought nothing of the conversation in the end, but looking back on it...

After the long pause, Kirkka focused back on the two, raising a hand to politely decline Sophea's offer of her jacket. "Suspects? I may have one. And if it was her I'll chuck her off the cliff as penitence." Kirkka was probably joking, but her mixed emotions made it harder than usual to tell. Certainly, nobody should be pitched off a cliff for something so minor.
