"I dunno how good an idea it would be to 'show you'" Clive states, looking to his staff and its lanterns then back to the others. "I have a tendency to go above and beyond." He awkwardly laughs. "I guess we could go outside... the 'crazy lady' did recharge me up from my accident in Fishermen's. Lead me to an exit."
((That's Clive!))

::Serena and Garret lead Clive outside to the courtyard::
Serena: Alright, show us what you've got.

"If you get hurt, I'm blaming Garret." Clive says as he passes by Serena to the center of the courtyard.
"OK Clive, time to woo them with magical electrical might." Clive smacks his staff into the ground as electrical currents begin to swarm around his body, channeling themselves through the various metal bands and wires embedded and wrapped around his clothes.
Garret and Serena begin to feel their hairs stand on end and taste the air turn dry and charged with static.
Stray bolts of electricity jet out from Clive body, channeling down from his staff into his body. He then thrusts the staff into the air and a blanket of electricity, like a spider-web, swallows the courtyard. Streaks of lightning come shooting down from the sky around them, making loud cracks and breaking apart spots of the courtyard's stone ground. Then, things start to go wrong, the lightning shoots out rabidly, uncontrolled. Clive's staff quivers and shakes, the lanterns rattling. Clive looks to his staff and rolls-eyes his eyes in frustration. "Not again..." A bright flash explodes out from the staff as a giant ball of electrical energy explodes out from it and dissipates quickly in the air. It does have the force to knock Clive off his feet and back a little ways. Also, electronic devices in the immediate area seem to just stop working, some even creating small explosions.
"GAH!" Clive jumps back to his feet in anger, picking up his staff all the while cussing up a storm. "Surge, always that damn feedback surge!" He starts to bang his forehead into the staff in frustration. "Another EMP... STUPID STUPID EMP."

::Serena takes hold of his staff, preventing any further self-inflicted punishment on Clive's part::
Serena: Whoa, calm down. It's not the end of the world. A lot of us come here with an out of control gift. Why one morning, my room was completely overgrown with vines. I was so sure I was getting kicked out. But everyone here is here to help get it under control.
Garret: Yeah I think the Headmistress can do something like this. She can shoot lightning and make storms. We can always tell she's mad if there's dark clouds over the house.

"Don't touch th-" Serena suddenly feels a sharp electrical charge pass through her body as the staff sends a bolt of electricity into her chest, throwing her to the ground.
Grabbing his staff back, he charges over to her, kneeling down beside her. "Oh gods! I should of told you about that, I can only touch the staff when it still has a charge!" He pats her face. "Please tell me you are ok!? Pleassseeee I don't want the 'crazy lady' to kill me, I'm far to pretty."

Garret: Shoot that thing packs a punch.
Serena: ::coughs:: Relax... I'm okay. You probably should have warned me though. I won't be doing that again any time soon. But like I said, don't be so hard on yourself.

Clive breathes a sigh of relief. "Oh, good, you're ok. If it hits you just right, crosses through the heart and cause fibrillation." With another sigh of relief, Clive sits back on his tail. "Yeah, sorry about not mentioning it. I store electrical energy in the staff and only I can keep it contained. If someone interferes or I loose the staff, it releases all the bent up energy in it in one big." Makes a 'boom' motion with his hands.
He shakes his head in frustration. "I've tried and tried to figure out why I get a feedback, the copper on my arms helps but it still always surges back at me. I mean I can do regular lightning magic fine and dandy and simpler stuff but anything fancy and it causes that EMP." He laughs a little. "Uh, hope there isn't much electronic devices around here... is there?"

Garret: Only the MP3 players the older students carry around... oh and some of us sneak TV's into our rooms. But other than that, I think you're pretty safe.
Serena: ::scowls at Garret:: I think you'll be fine. There are places in the house where magic is negated, like the break room. It's something Mrs. Hawthorne figured out. How about if you ever feel like you're about to go haywire, you run straight there.

Clive throws up his arms. "Won't matter." He states. "I don't run solely on magic properties. I harness the natural electricity in the environment, condense it down, and then channel it. I'm like a walking power-plant with no containment facility..." He slumps. "Unless it grounded, insulated against electricity, or static free, its going to get- *bzzzz*" Making an electrical sound with his tongue.

::Ierys wipes the tears away and laughs::
"Nothing, I just needed a run. Probobly the wind making my eyes water."
::She jumps to her feet still laughing, and casually walks around Lillith as she talks.::
"Y'know I'm not really that hungry, and i'm sure Simon will drag me off to meet him eventually..."
((OOC: why? why must I sleep? I miss things >.<))

::Lillith stares after her in puzzlement::
Simon? What does he have to... Hey wait! Get back here.
::Ierys reluctantly turns and comes back to where Lillith is standing::
Alright, normally I'd scold you for lying, but I'm not going to force you to tell me anything. So will you at least let me show you where your room is if you're not hungry?

::Ierys puts her hands together behind her back and smiles a bittersweet smile.::
"Thanks, I guess thats better than running into people"
::She let out a half laugh that almost sounded like it was on the verge of a sob.::

::As Lillith starts leading Ierys toward her room, she catches movement outside from the window. When she sees who it is, she smiles, an idea forming in her head::
Although, I think I did tell you to keep an eye on Clive. He's outside right now. Why don't you go check on him and make sure he hasn't levelled the courtyard.

::Meanwhile, outside with Clive::
Serena: Insulated and grounded huh? I think the basement might be able to--
Garret: Serena, we're not supposed to talk about that place.
Serena: Oh quit. The place has been abandoned for years. I don't see the harm in showing it to him. We'll have to wait until after dinner though. The only door we know of is in the dining room.

::Ierys pouted and crossed her arms::
"Probably, He doesnt care about anoyone but himself after all."
::The words were laced with malice but she knew she didnt truly mean them.::
"I'll make sure nobody dies from that elecric shock of his. Ill see you later."
::And with that she turned on her heels and made her way to the courtyard.::

Clive's ears perk when they mention the 'basement'. He looks up to the both of them with inquisitive eyes. "What is this 'basement' you speak of?"
The conversation becomes interrupted though, when into the courtyard walks Ierys. Clive looks away, mutters something to himself, then stands up, using his staff for support. "I haven't killed anyone, no need to scold me yet."

"That remains to be seen."

"Whoa!" Clive falls and face-plants into the ground. When he recovers, he cracks his neck and lets out a moan. "Was... that really necessary?" He pushes himself up, this time keeping his staff closer to his body. "I like a girl with spunk but that just hurt."

"Fair is fair."

Serena: Oh you must be the new girl. Nice to meet you. I'm Serena, and this is Garret.
Garret: ::Waves, but says nothing::
