A Royal Summons @ 04:06 am

[info]young_swimmer:

Cait sat on the shore and watched the sunset over the Pacific. Hope and her pod had left the protection of the bay for awhile. Otherwise Cait would have been in the water playing with them like she did every day. Coming down here to see the dolphins had become part of her daily routine. She missed them, but she knew they would be back in a few days.

Right now, she figured, Daddy was having a royal fit. Actually, Cait was surprised he wasn't here demanding she return with him to Atlantis. The royal summons came two weeks ago and demanded that she present herself to the throne in a fortnight. Obviously Cait was not going to follow orders. Not until he stopped ordering her about like one of his subjects.

Mother had also sent something along with Daddy's summons. She had sent a copy of the Royal Atlantean Chronicles. At first Cait had wondered why her mother had sent them because Cait had always been forbidden from reading them, but after reading them she understood. Her mother was sending her a message and Cait had heard it.

By Poseidon's beard her family was insane.

The Chronicles read like an absurd piece of fiction and Cait had really wished they were fiction, but they weren't. If she ever mentioned the things in them to anyone they'd accuse her of making it all up.

Daddy was definitely going to have a fit.
 

Keystone, 4 PM @ 05:48 pm

[info]lantern_kid:

Henry cut his last class today. He needs to make it out to Keystone by 4 their time, to be able to catch Iris alone. He doesn't want to talk to Jai right now... he'd be tempted to punch him in the face.

So Henry lands unseen behind the bleachers and steps out, dressed in normal clothes again, approaching the cheerleaders as they disband. Normally, he has a different motive when approaching a band of cheerleaders after practice, but today, it's business that brings him here. He stands nearby, hoping that Iris notices him waiting.
 

When two speed demons meet @ 10:41 pm

[info]injus_society:

She was in Keystone to stir up trouble. She wanted to see what Impluse could do or whatever her name was. She started by kidnapping elderly people and putting them in dangerous places where they could fall and get hurt.

Then she stole every manikin in town and set them up in provocative positions all over the city. She thought everything she did was a riot. She had no reason to stop doing what she did either until the other speedster started to correct what she was doing.
