[u][i]Deborah Lillian Termellio, & Shannon Jacqueline Balore.[/i][/u] The two girl's conversation went relatively well. However, they have guests. Two faces that are familiar to Debby. Red Winston, the boy she had declared her ally ([b]In reality, I regard him as a friend[/b]), and Chris, the one armed man that had her so [i]curious[/i]. Deborah grinned, and crossed her legs. [i]What secrets do you have in that mind of yours, Fox?[/i] However, she was curious as to wh- ([b]He found him in the locker room[/b]) well that answers that question. But, there was plenty more questions to ask, that need answers - And so many [i]delicious[/i] blanks that need filling. [i]Who are these people?[/i] Shannon telepathically asked. She was curious about them. [i]This is the boy, Red, I told you about, and Chris, a sob story that I [b]must[/b] decode.[/i] [i]Oh, how fantastic, I'll talk to him once he stops looking like a bad twilight cosplay. This seems like your niche, so I'll keep my mouth shut.[/i] Shannon crossed her legs, and did just that. She had nothing to really contribute, and if she just voiced her mind, she would only make Debs job harder. Like Deborah, she was curious about these two - Silence is the best way to sate that curiosity. Now, Deborah had no distractions, no Shannon, nobody else. Just herself, these two interesting people, and their many secrets. Oh, they want to know what's happening to Red ([b]Negative reaction to another power. Long dormant emotions are being awakened[/b]). Oh? Red has been suppressing his emotions? What a sad and pitiful existence. Deborah feared she could become the same if she devoted more to her power. But why should she stop there? There was plenty to know about things here... Who was the Meta-human that he was reacting negatively to? She quickly scanned the room, examining every face within range - ([b]Her[/b]) - before her gaze rested on Kristen ([b]Secretes emotion altering pheromones into the air[/b]). Now, Deborah could get cracking. She already has a starting point ([b]Red[/b]) and a finishing point ([b]Kristen[/b]). Thus her little head was filled with the blanks of information ([b]Red, represses emotion, was being mentally altered by Kristen's ability, causing a negative reaction between the two. It was awakening his emotions, and his body isn't ready[/b]). She felt a small headache surge on. Ugh, overusing her power like this caused a bit of a mental backlash. It took a second for Deborah to recover. "'Cuse me for a second..." She started massaging her temples. Making larger connections was harder and more taxing on her mind. The second she processed all the information, she raised her head. "I'll tell you..." She spoke in a low tone. "It is because of that girl you were talking to has a power that effects emotion, like pheromones... And given your lack of them, you're having a reaction to them.... A [i]negative[/i] reaction in this situation." She looked at Red dead in the eye. Hoping that he understood. "My advice is that you never go near that girl again... Unless...." Oh, how intriguing. This kid has no emotions and actually [i]gaining[/i] them freaked him the hell out. Shannon had some sassy comments to make, but she kept them to herself for now. [u][i]Amanda Daisy Blackmore, & Nikki Biyung.[/i][/u] Nikki got very uncomfortable, very fast, when Karlie basically mentioned her ([i]beloved[/i]) cousin's tits. She coughed. She was fine with what Karlie was saying up until that. Actually, Karlie seemed rather playful, like someone who [i]would[/i] be friends with Amanda. She can tell now that the girl must have a high tolerance for obnoxious behavior, or very [i]low[/i] standards. She was going to find out for herself what Karlie fell under. Nikki was going to blow off the comment about her (Or her cousin's) figure. "Well, I'm thinking of ordering a mask for my suit, and maybe changing out this kelvar with spider silk or something..." Just talk about this suit. "Hey, do you know if they let you change the armor?" Nikki asked Karlie and Amanda. "Yes, Karlie, take it all in." Amanda voiced to Karlie, grinning like a fool, and posing like one too. She knew Karlie was checking out her body - Amanda had such a [i]great[/i] body, that she didn't blame girls when they had to stare. She knew that Nikki was uncomfortable talking about all these great looking gals. "Dunno. They let me put metal on mine." She plucked the metal plates on her armor with her fingers. Both girls listened as Matt explained his power in great detail. Initially, Nikki got the idea that his biokinesis was just the tip of the iceberg. Wait... He has [i]omni[/i]-kinesis? That was such a powerful ability on it's own. It could trump Nikki's ability. All he had to do was turn into fire or electricity and he'll be basically untouchable. Of course, there were logical weaknesses. He needed teachers, and can only store one power at a time. But, Nikki couldn't resist rolling her eyes when Matt brought up 'Penis manipulation'. "What's with people and sex...?" It's all these people ever talk about. She was glad that her power didn't have any perversion potential... Oh wait, there's [i]entomophilia[/i]... Nikki shuddered. She entered the fetal position. [i]Happy thoughts, happy thoughts...[/i] Now this [i]really[/i] got Amanda's attention. Matt had such a powerful ability, possibly more powerful than the inherent Blackmore ability. Possibly infinitely more versatile than her own. She [i]must[/i] have it. She got excited, she could only need his power for the rest of her life. It was official, she was going to wife him. "Teachers?!" Amanda said, super excited. She threw her arm around Matt, and pulled him in closer to herself. "Why didn't you ask. As a Blackmore, teaching is in my [i]blood[/i]. I'll teach you [i]everything[/i] I know." She did a pose, clenching her fist, staring off into the distance. Her expression snapped to a more droopy one, "But, you're going have to give me your power, asap." The sexual stuff would have to come later. She needed his power. They both decided to drop the subject of the mystery number ten. Nobody knew who he was, and they likely wouldn't have found out. Matt came up with a different subject, their powers. "Well..." Nikki piped, grabbing onto her bag, unzipping it. She was fine with sharing her powers, these people were her [i]friends[/i] - alien as the concept seemed. Her power was just something that some people might find 'gross' or 'creepy'. She reached into her bag and pulled out a hand full of arthropods. Bees, spiders, cockroaches... You name it. Normally, they would skitter out of her hand, or attack her, but they did nothing. They seemed entranced. Nikki held them like they were nothing. "[i]Arthropod-manipulation.[/i] I had this power since I was a kindergartner," That brought back memories when she had no control, and the day when she decided that she wanted to [i]get[/i] that control. It took her years, but she [i]got[/i] it. "But, I can control any arthropod on a macro-level, that means I can control bugs miles away from me, and I can sense what they sense." That was the basic part of her ability. She dropped the bugs out of her hand, and they crawled (Or hovered) their way back into the gym bag. "I can also control them on a biological level. I can do things like give poison to non-poisonous insects, and alter their anatomy... I haven't done much with it since I screwed it up a few times..." [i]Very badly. If they survived, they didn't function the same.[/i] Amanda let Nikki go first, since this was the most chatty she's been the whole time. It made her grin. The girl really liked talking about the nerd stuff. Amanda turned her head at Matt. "Since you already know about my Daddy's ability, you should know that it's inherent." She. "I can copy the powers of whoever uses their power on me, and partially turn into it like my brother Drake. I have Metal Manipulation when some jackass decided to stab me with a fork." She was looking at her nails. [u][i]Jake & Gabriela Valos, & Sylvia Bertoose.[/i][/u] They watched Kristen walk out of the locker room, gussied up like a supersoldier. She was quite... attractive in that suit. Both the twins thought so (Where Sylvia just left it at good looking). They wouldn't mind hooking up with Kristen - Though, they knew that there could be only one. Since they agreed ages ago that they should never let a girl get in between them... But not [i]literally[/i]. "Lookin' good, Kristen." Gabe said, nodding her head in approval and putting her hand on her strong chin. She didn't know what it was that made this girl so magnifying, but she didn't worry about the specifics. She put her hand on one hip, and shifted her weight to it. "You should stick with us if we team, or we could cheat our little hearts out if we're on other teams." Gabe laughed, mischief on her mind. "Fuck cheating!" Sylvia protested, "I'm a lot of things, a [i]cheater[/i] ain't one of them!" "Yeah, I don't mind screwing with people, but cheating? We'll sic Mr. Hardass up there on us." Jake blankly said. Gabe shrugged, blowing a puff of smoke out of her mouth. "Fine... We'll just not punch each other in the face. That cool?" She crossed her arm mid-sentence, looking upwards. Jake turned back towards Kristen, "So, want to chill after class? I think we'd have a lot of catching up to do." He gestured to Kristen's suit. "I think we can all work together to do a bit of suit personalizing." He created an illusion of a white venetian mask, elegant and regal, and pressed it against his face. He thought he would look cooler if this suit was white. Perhaps if they'll be wearing these suits a lot, he can make it look all fancy like a royal outfit. [u][i]Jaska Din Valos.[/i][/u] Jaska wasn't a fan of the pep talk, but he nodded. He wasn't the type to cause trouble ([i]... Intentionally[/i]) and he got that habit from Jake. He normally kept to himself, and focused on having fun. When he ran into someone he didn't like, he handled it in a rather mature way and just stuck to himself. Like right here, he was just idly sitting here. Jaska had no comments to say. Honestly, he was getting tired of the rather personal questions, he would rather talk about... anything else. Fortunately, Stephen decided to talk about teams. Who would he liked to be on team with? "Well..." He spoke, kicking his legs like a child. He put a claw to his chin, raising his head like he was thinking. "... My brother Jake, my sister Gabe..." This time he sounded a bit more receptive than before. Then there was a third person. He only knew a few people. Dana? No, she was in a wheelchair. Aislin? She was [i]preeeetty[/i]. Henry...? [i]Henry![/i] "... And Henry! He's all big and strong." [u][i]Theresa Sindel Obott.[/i][/u] Theresa saw Henry's 'wind-up' middle finger gesture towards Valjean, and was quite amused. She put a hand to her lips, and slyly giggled. "If you make Macho-man come over here, I'm using Poppy as a shield." She laughed some more. She wasn't being serious when she said that. It was just a joke. Besides, not even [i]Valjean[/i] would be dumb enough to start a fight in a room full of this many people - That's not even considering how [i]brain dead[/i] it would be under Adam's watch. Victoria was [i]still[/i] on top of Henry. Which was surprising since anyone with a brain would get off by now. She even [i]kissed[/i] him on the head. Ew! "I hope you have good mouth wash on hand, Victoria!" Theresa playfully poked at Victoria. The French-woman greeted her, making a little nickname out of her scarf habit. Well, that made her laugh a bit. [i]Everyone[/i] made a comment about her scarfs. "Sorry, scarfs are [i]sooooo[/i] last year. Everyone's doing gas masks now!" She replied with the same kind of joking comment. Then Theresa remembered a comment Henry made about training. That provoked a subtle roll of her eyes. "And have you [i]ever[/i] tried training [i]re-gen-er-ation[/i]?!" She asked, still joking. Trying to train a [i]healing[/i] ability just sounded stupid. Especially since she feels [i]more[/i] pain than anyone else here. Tess noticed that Poppy came back. All suited up and looking downright [i]adorable[/i] in it. She didn't say anything. Perhaps she was embarrassed? Lots of people were embarrassed in these suits. Hell, the first time Tess saw her suit, she thought that her... [i]business,[/i] would be on full display for the class. "What's the matter, Poppy-Flower?" Theresa asked. "You look cute in that." She wished that this gas mask didn't muffle her voice so much. ((Don't know what to have Dana say, so she's chilling until Aislin says something)) [u][i]Matthias Landon Oxenford.[/i][/u] [i]Whoa, this girl must be like Sherlock![/i] Salia definitely picked up on more things than Matthias could. Well, actually, it wasn't all that special now that he thought about it. Suuuure he wouldn't have had a clue that the girl [i]might[/i] have a cerebral power, or the one-armed dude might have an unstable power - But her other deductions were far more obvious (Such as Henry and Amanda's). Matthias shrugged, it was more impressive than most of what Matthias can do. "You sure have a keen eye, eh?" He had no choice but to complement her deduction skills. Salia's tiny-little outburst largely flew over the lanky teen's head. He wasn't paying attention. Salia's answer to his comment about inflating egos made him smirk. She mentioned that there were ways to take everyone down here, and the most subtle powers are the most dangerous. True that. Matthias didn't know much, but perhaps he fell into the subtle class? Sure, there were people who could flip buildings here, but he was bloody [i]unkillable[/i]. Probably had the best regeneration here. Though, he didn't know if he could survive getting his head blown off. "Heh, true," He started off, "I'd rather deal with the flashy and obvious powers - Most of them can't do much to me anyway..." Salia didn't talk about her power, which made him wonder what her power was more. He wasn't really the subtle type, so he just voiced it, "What? You don't want to tell me your power? It's fine." [u][i]Valjean Vaseal.[/i][/u] Vespera's psychological tactics largely went over Valjean's head (But he was disappointed she didn't react negatively to his creepy comments). In his head there were simply no corners for him to be backed into. "Nah," He calmly said. "I'm giving Debs her space, and she's giving me mine." That was what he honestly believed. He didn't need to have her around his arms 24/7 - Everyone got the picture just fine. "And that's the problem, there ain't [i]no one[/i] here. Just a bunch o' [i]losers.[/i]" [i]Which is why I'm over here, talking to the creepiest girl here.[/i] Despite him vehemently rejecting it, Valjean and Vespera weren't so different... Not that he would say it out loud or anything. "I guess, despite the creepiness, you're [i]slightly[/i] better." He was making that painfully obvious. [u][i]Adam Leo Blackmore.[/i][/u] "Technically..." Adam started off, tipping his glasses, answering Annebelle's concerns. He was sure of his actions. "There is [i]not[/i] a level ten in the class." Technically speaking that is. There is someone who can reach that rank. "But, I do understand your concerns, and I [i]will[/i] keep the students in line. Such as I have been doing for decades now." What would have been stupider was if he pointed out the student.
