As the transport lift slowly ascended, Kirill was something of a bundle of nerves. He tapped on his knees, an anxious expression etched into his face as he looked over the rest of those that would be attending the Academy with him. They chatted and idled among themselves and as much as Kirill wanted to join in on the conversations, he found himself just a bit too overwhelmed. He had never been to space before, mostly out of a lack of interest, and was a little unsettled by the experience. The thought that all of these were individuals that had unique abilities like himself was also quite nerve-wracking, though he also found the idea to be rather fascinating. He very much wanted to know what all of their powers are, how they worked, and how they would interact with each other.

Though he found them fascinating, he wasn't terribly pleased by some of the powers. The symbiote disturbed him, as he figured that its host was either under its thrall or had been beaten into some sort of Stockholm-syndrome situation to accept it. The insect duo was also on the creepy side, but more because he found their powers and methods of using them to be unsanitary. Hiding bugs in your clothes and spreading them around? Gross. Kirill tightened his tie and ran a hand through his hair to assure himself that he was far cleaner. The acid-spewing girl didn't seem much better in that respect, but at the very least she had the common courtesy to keep her foulness to herself.

However, the person that really caught his eye was the boy tinkering with some manner of curious, spherical device at the far side of the room. Kirill was quite amused by his machinations, and though he found himself bewildered a bit by him, was drawn in even more by the complexity surrounding his processes. His sarcastic attitude seemed a bit childish, but Kirill had long since stopped expecting better from people his own age. He planned on striking up a conversation with him in just a moment, but for now was content to observe the conversation between the boy and another that had just approached him.
