Sadde doesn't seem quite able to focus on homework at the moment. He's fidgeting, and sometimes stares off into space for long periods of time before James has to snap him out of it.
"In any case, let's try not to go for murder, because in addition to being a crime, it is also wrong."
He nods and is about to say something when an alarm starts sounding in the entire building. His eyes widen slowly, his mouth still open, and he barely catches the announcement telling all heroes to convene... somewhere. He's not really paying attention.
He closes his mouth and shakes his head, but quickly, to clear his head. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm coming."
Echo is there, out of costume, just to hear the briefing and then say she won't go. Dauntless, on the other hand, has his white-and-gold suit, Greek helmet, shiny boots, and the shield, but is sporting a sword instead of a lance, today.
There's a plane present for other Brockton Bay capes that might volunteer to come. None do. Not to fight the hero killer.
Glam walks up to Lorica. "So, I'm gonna need your help to start working on the gun thing."
"Yeah. Should've practiced this. It's okay, I can fugue on the fly, gimme an interface for the bots."
"Alright, what should the interface be like?" If they're speaking a bit louder than the strictly necessary for only Lorica to hear, that's certainly only due to nervousness or something like that.
Lorica does not remark aloud that she was totally planning on faking that part. She hooks up a bot to Glam's bot and starts soliciting parts.
Parts are provided, and if they're a bit more attention-grabbing than usual in design, that's purely an aesthetic choice.
