"Well, I wouldn't call the muggle way the old way given magic has been around longer than elevators." Rocky shrugs. He does that a lot.

Rocky folds his arms. "Or they're just mad that muggles can do it without magic anymore. I hear it's a pride thing among some of the type... no offense intended of course." Rocky says, aware of the wizards present.

"So... what advantage did that serve over a typical elevator? Or even just a magical one?" Rocky was rather perplexed and also worried about the moral implications of having what appears to be a bound demon.

Rocky raises an eyebrow at the girl's questioning. "That's something a little personal to be asking someone you just met don't you think?" He pauses a moment before shrugging. "Anyways, I suppose that justice is a bit, how do ya say... nebulous to believe in. I want to keep people safe. Whether I just act as a deterrent or if I'm out actively protecting people. Although, I guess if justice means that people are safe then I'll do that as well."

Rocky gives Zoren a look before turning to the mage. "I'm personally going to become a law enforcement officer so I'm taking studies in that field."

Rocky resists the urge to jab the werewolf with his elbow. Instead he decides to just go on for himself. "I'm Rocky, I'm a dude so I'd like it if you used He/Him pronouns... I'm a uh... well, you know Frankenstein? I'm like the guy he made but not as pointlessly murderous. One interesting thing about me is that... I do full contact European Martial arts." Rocky shrugs to himself. He didn't actually think it was that interesting but he didn't think people would believe him if he said that he memorized several monologues from Shakespeare.

Rocky looks up at Seong. He makes a mental note to question why this dude doesn't know English that well if he's going to college in a mostly english speaking area. Or at least why he doesn't have an interpreter or something. He'd have to complain to the whoever runs to the school about not providing proper accommodations for foreign students. He contemplates asking if he'd have a problem with anyone for his interest in law enforcement. Apparently some people don't like them on principle and all...

Rocky experienced a twinge of worry over that last comment. Logically he shouldn't worry about it being a soul other than the previous occupants of his parts but supernatural people have a rep for being dickishly rule abiding. He smirks as he fills in his law enforcement classes. He also adds a magic class and psychology class to round it out.

Rocky looks up considering whether the wizard purposely forgot about guns.

Rocky chuckles and scratches the back of his neck. With a shrug he goes back to his book but he still seems attentive to the conversation.

Rocky simply smirks at Polly. He shrugs as he drops his pose. "Hey, anytime you need my body don't hesitate to give me a call. I'll get to you as soon as I can."

Rocky turns back to Blackadder with a smile. "You think my name's bad? You should hear about my brother Bullwinkle. Absolutely horrible." Clearly he's just being funny. He turns back to Polly. "Hm, maybe I can model some clothes for you later? I can assure you that I'm well built. But more seriously, I'm studying supernatural law enforcement. Already got a job lined up after college in the field and apparently people like me tend to work well due to being durable and really strong." Rocky demonstrates by flexing, showing how his muscles bulge under his jacket.

Rocky smiles at Polly. "Eh, no harm no foul. Nice to meet you... Uh, I haven't actually gotten your name I think."

Rocky gives "Blackadder" a firm handshake. He smirks at the name. "What, like the snake? Did you call yourself that to look cool or did your parents just want you to get bullied in middle school...? Nah, just kidding bro, it's a good name. Joking aside, I'm Rocky."

Rocky stares for a beat. He folds his hands before speaking. "I uh... I don't think it works quite like that. The percolating and the fire bit."

"It's a bit over kill though isn't it? I mean, from what I know you don't need to even go to classes unless you want to graduate. So he could just sleep in his dorm." Rocky effectively hides the growing distaste he has for Shaun's lack of seriousness about coming to this school. If he really just wanted to sleep he could have just stayed home.

"You could always try Mad Science if you want to emulate magic. Although I think this school discriminates against that kind of thing. My cousin applied but he didn't get in... Probably a bad thing now that I think about it. I mean, do you know how many people like that rant about how people "Called them mad"? It's a fair majority." Rocky scratches his chin before shrugging with a noncommittal grunt.

"Given who's supposed to be going here I'd think that it's more likely that there aren't modern sports. That said, I do hope there's some opportunity to try out full contact European martial arts. Partly because from what I've read getting the proper preperations for subduing people like us is hard with most modern weaponry. And partly because I've only trained with humans who understandable can't just get limbs sown back on." Rocky looks up from the book he's reading. It seems to be a pocket bible given the cross on the front.

"I mean... I know that at least one person of my type didn't have much trouble with cutting off something passed through birth. Also, I'm completely human technically." Technically in this case meaning that he's completely human... several of them to be exact. Gives a whole new meaning to donating your body to science.

"I suppose I don't really know about having to hide. Number one, kind of hard to do so to begin with on account of the... everything. Number two, I've not really been out much." Rocky shrugs before taking a moment to stretch. "So... do you guys still take souls and stuff? Or have reapers taken the part over? Or is it like, dependent on religion or something?"

"Yes, but we're still close to the city. Some random person can just walk by and suddenly it's Jamestown all over again. And besides, the school wants us to act normal anyways. Bad idea to get in trouble with the admins on day one." Rocky combs back his hair with his hand before sighing. "I'm Rocky by the way. Technically speaking I don't have a proper species but I was frankensteined together... I take it you're either some kind of half giant or a Valkyrie?"

Rocky covers his face with his hands. He sounds like he's taking a few deep breaths before he responds. "I take it you're... Swedish then?"

Rocky nods. "Yeah... personally I didn't get out much until recently. Dad wanted me to focus on athletics and not much else... He did have some really interesting friends though." To be fair, he also wasn't alive until about a month ago, so technically all of that was true even if it was missing some shady agents from an international organisation... Oh, the person that's his size is talking. And not bothering to be normal. "Doubtful. She would most likely be a Shinto shrine maiden from the looks of her. And the fact that mostly Shinto followers refer to them that way."

Rocky nods. He scratches the back of his head as he looks around. "So, did you like the work? I imagine you met a lot of interesting people." He doesn't add the part about only reading that last bit in "interesting" comics he found online.

"Oh? What kind of work did you do?" Rocky isn't sure if he's trying to catch her in a lie or just interested in if she actually had a job. On the one hand, doing the former would be funny. On the other hand, it's much more polite to use the latter reasoning.
