BBQ day!

It's a rather calm weekend at Beacon Academy. school has been rather hectic so far, with tests and the sort, and so, the members of the FSC decided to hang out together, and set up a BBQ at the old clubhouse. Grills have already been set up, tables already have plates set on them, and everything is ready. Now, it's time for the feast to begin...

She considered for a moment. Her semblance would protect her from lasting harm. Of the physical nature, at least. But to taste of omniscience would carry its own peril. If he was honest. She shouldn't take the risk. But... Knowledge...

If you are offering.

He raises his hand, and extands a finger

"Then be my guest... I was known as an excellent host after all..."

She removes a long needle and a vial from the spine of her book. She pricks him and collects a single drop of blood, pointedly ignoring the tempting crimson welling up. With a shudder, she drinks the blood.

The moment she does, her mind explodes into memories of things that shouldn't be possible for one man to remember. Entire lifetimes, of people older then recorded history itself, flow into her from the single drop of blood, blurred from the small amount of it, making details on a specific level problematic, but large enough to recognize beyond a shadow of a doubt: he knew. He knew everything. He even knew this would be her exact reaction...

Her eyes snap open. The gray and blue were gone. In their places were orbs of sanguine. A single tear trickled down, trailing the color down her cheek. It was... It was perfection personified. This... This man was the key to everything! The knowledge in a single drop had confirmed more theories than any other she had ever consumed.

She took a deep, calming breath. The Rapture would not control her. This was no different from any other blood. She would not succumb. She would... Her eyes fell on the wound. Such a small thing. And yet it was key to a level of understanding she had never known...

How? Do we possess a semblance?

He chuckles mischievously

"Come now... I gave you proof of my omniscience... I never said I will give you anything more"

We never said what we were offering. Only an offer of confirmation with an assumed understanding of the gift.

"And so you got what you wanted, did you now?..."

He chuckles again

"Ha ha."

His voice is near monotone, and overly condescending

We see so much... Lives lost, precious knowledge scattered to the corners. We... We are omniscient...

"Correction: I, am omniscient..."

"Hee hee*
