[u][i]Sylvia Bertoose, Jake & Gabe Valos.[/i][/u] Heh. What a great day this has been. The twins met two of their friends they haven't seen in awhile. Maybe they'll see how training is like. Hopefully it won't be a snorefest or a dickmeasuring contest like they think it would be. And - [i]oh dear god...[/i] PF Change's mascot just rolled into the room and caused a shitstorm. However, it didn't make the Valos freakout like everyone else did. Jake and Gabe merely raised an eyebrow, and watched. Adam pacified the situation just as fast. Well, he had good intentions, but honestly, he should have announced himself. Then a chick tossed a black box at his head, which honestly was just topping on this stupid cake. They were honestly hoping that Kung Fu Panda would eat her, but it turned out this girl knew him... In fact, it was his girlfriend. "Ooooooooh, it's a [i]panda-bear[/i]!" Sylvia loudly shouted with child-like glee - Or just being a smart ass. She grinned deviously. "How cute." Gabe rolled her eyes and put a hand on her hip. "[i]'Soon to be wife'[/i]? Who the flying [i]fuck[/i] would marry that?" She asked, no one in particular, dumbfounded. "C'mon, Gabe," Jake said, amused as anyone can get, "You know some people are just [i]into that[/i]." He snickered like a child. He shrugged, smirking deviously, "We all have our own special... [i]tastes[/i]..." "I like your line of thought," Sylvia says with a smug grin on her face. "There's probably a sex-crazed maniac out there who jacks off twelve times a day to animal-meta porn." "I sincerely hope that doesn't exist...." Gabe facepalmed, groaning. "[i]Everything does.[/i]" Jake valiantly pointed a finger at Gabe, "Welcome to the dark world of perversion, curiosity, loneliness, and the [i]internet[/i]." "... [i]Yiff, yiff.[/i]" Sylvia said. "Who knows," Jake started off, shrugging sarcastically again, "Maybe she'll have him dress up like Kung Fu Panda for their honeymoon." "Thanks for the image." Gabe says "Glad to be of assistance." Jake continues snarking. [u][i]Jaska Din Valos.[/i][/u] The Pandaman charging into the room and caused a rather negative reaction from Jaska. The large beast... charging into the room and pouncing on his prey... It activated instincts inside of the boy that were kept away. His blood started literally boiling, Stephen would notice that his heat just went up a few degrees. He flipped and perched himself on the back of his chair like a gargoyle, leaning forward so it doesn't fall backwards. Using his claws to lock him into place. He stared down Pandaman with his wings hyper-expanded to make himself look larger and more intimidating. His instincts told him to run. Panda-man was far superior to Jaska in the physical area, where the young boy was far more agile and fast. A short fight ensured, which resulted in Adam calming everyone down. After everyone was settled, Jaska did not calm down. He was on guard the whole time. He was not in control of his instincts unlike, say Vespera or Valjean (Who more or less rejected them). Stephen was otherwise ignored. [u][i]Deborah Lillian Termellio, & Shannon Jacqueline Balore.[/i][/u] [i]Wait, Red killed somebody?[/i] The thoughts ran through Deborah's head ([b]It is incorrect, Red feels responsible for his father's death[/b]). This honestly changes Deborah's whole initial perception of Red. What happened to his father? What makes Red feel so guilty about it ([b]His scar is connected to it[/b])? Accident? Mistake? So many questions... The more she thought about it, the more she got all so [i]curious.[/i] There were questions, and they all had answers. The answer that can come to her in an instant. She couldn't give up on Red when she has so much to decode... ([b]Your curiosity will kill you someday, Deborah[/b]) Shannon crossed her arms and gave Red the evil eye. A quiet way of telling him to 'Get the fuck away from us this instant'. He just said he ended a life, in the most casually [i]bullshit[/i] way possible. Then he wants to go on a merry adventure with them? Well he can [i]forget[/i] that. She remembered that she and Deborah are telepathically connected. [i]I do not trust this child.[/i] In her eyes, everyone has an ulterior motive, and something they want to keep hidden from the world... But Red, he just [i]calmly[/i] drops that he murdered someone. Maybe Shannon would have been more inclined to believe him if he was a little bit more emotional about it. [i]There's more to it than you think.[/i] Deborah mentally replied. [i]I hope so. I'm keeping my eye on him. If he tries anything I'll strap him up tighter than a fiend at a BDSM party.[/i] Shannon replied. Chris got rather riled up... All for the wrong reasons. The display really made the girl roll their eyes (In perfect synchronization with each other). If anyone should slam him against the wall, it should be Deborah, for admitting he killed someone... Not going on about how emotions make you weak ([b]Emotions make you [i]human[/i][/b]). Abandoning your emotions makes you... Deborah can't even begin to describe it. It ended when Red stormed off. Deborah started shaking her head. Honestly, Red was a wreck. she was quickly starting to realize that. They were doing [i]so[/i] well when they first met. Oh well. She peered towards Shannon, and saw that her lover already hated him. Chris was still here, and there wasn't much they could say to him. Deborah shrugged.... ... And a bestial roar filled her ears ([b]High-end Bestial type, not a sign of aggression[/b]) and her head darted to the door. A Panda rolled through the doors like a tank... It was sudden and surprising to say the least. Being used to such things, Deborah didn't bat an eyelash. Probably because she knew his true intentions ([b]He hasn't seen Adam in a long time and got overexcited[/b]) and they weren't hostile. That said, she couldn't help but roll her eyes when someone attacked him - It was Amanda... Honestly wasn't that surprising. The girl was definitely not smart at all, but from the eyes of someone who wasn't as [i]informed[/i] as she was, she could see where Amanda was coming from. But it's all impulsiveness when you realize that if Panda was going to attack him, Adam would have been dead by now. It was no surprise that Adam broke up the situation fast. At this point, she was expecting him to bitch and moan at everyone, but things went differently. Tetsuya ([b]Old student, acquaintance of Adam[/b]) turned out to be quite a friendly fellow. Which Deborah was happy to know, this guy was a tank. He'd be hellish if he was violent. Then some random chick ([b]His girlfriend, aggravated by his actions[/b]) tossed a box at his head. If Deborah didn't get the specifics, she would presume that she was stupid. There was plenty more to deduce from this.... Shannon gave Deborah a sly smirk. Mentally sending a message; [i]... He gives me an idea for the next costume night.[/i] The question caught Deborah off guard, because she was so focused. But, she returned the gesture and smiled suggestively at Shannon, [i]Oh, what is it, love?[/i] [i]I'll be the terrible panda stalking the woods, and you'll be the lost maiden wearing a qípáo.[/i] [i]Oh, you're just awful Shannon.[/i] Deborah replied, with a giggle. [u][i]Adam Leo Blackmore, & Nikki Biyung.[/i][/u] Adam was glad to see Tetsuya again. Despite. [i]Dear god, please don't let him tear my arm off.[/i] Nikki was caught off guard when Tetsuya tried to to shake her hand. There was a mixture of fear and politeness - She didn't want to come off as rude, but at the same time, [i]he was a fucking massive animal[/i]. "Uh, nice to meet you." He turned out to be no more dangerous than Henry. Perhaps she overreacted just a little bit when Tetsuya rushed him. He even bowed. That was... Nikki couldn't put her finger on it. It was like he was trained, and knows when to show respect - That train of thought was hilarious brought to an end when someone tossed a box at Tetsuya's head. [i]"... Hey!"[/i] Nikki's head darted towards the chick that did it... A girl, had to be a year or two older than Nikki, with pink hair and an eyepatch, and looking pissed as hell. Adam was just about ready to snap at Asae. She introduced herself as Asae Kyuuji... So [i]that's[/i] what Tetsuya was up to all these years. "Yes, I am Adam." He was quick to add on, "Please do not throw objects around." He tipped his glasses at her, giving her a less than pleased look. The second Tetsuya announced that he and this girl were getting married... Nikki had to double-take. Her gaze bounced back and forth from Pandaman and Asae. Looking confused. [i]For the love of god, does EVERYONE use their powers for one means of perversion or another?![/i] She asked herself the question. "... Okay." Was all Nikki could say in response. It was an odd romance, like who the fuck would date someone who [i]tosses[/i] things at your cranium? Love is a strange thing, there were so many layers that she did not know about. An alien concept to Nikki. "If you are going to attend class, then I suggest that both of you put on your suits." Adam took a step aside, planting a hand on Tetsuya's shoulder. "... I believe you have a new suit, by the way." He started walking forward. He loudly cleared his throat and announced, using his powers to carry his voice through the room, "Alright, everyone, time for lollygagging is officially over...." He dramatically said, "... [i]Class is now in session.[/i]" Nikki awkwardly pointed both thumbs at the door. "Um.... I need to get more bugs." "You may. Be fast. Everyone else, follow me." Adam started walking towards the stairs of the room, and lead the rest of his class into the training room. [u][i]Power Training Class.[/i][/u] [hider= Altambra Central Square][youtube]49qT2xQg6Gk[/youtube][/hider] Everyone gathered in the middle of the training room. The students were lined up, side by side, facing Adam (With Annabelle and the rest of the instructors behind him). He stood there, hands folded behind his back, clenching that clipboard tightly. Completely silent - As was the room, except for some slight chatter. He suddenly looked at the clipboard and written down a few things. Before he announced, "Alright class, we have three exercises for the day." At this point, Nikki ran into the room, with yet another gym bag full of bugs. "The first exercise will be the usual." He pulled a remote from his back pocket, and pressed a button. Behind him, the room had rearranged itself. A large, round, pit of metal was formed, with two sets of stairs leading down into it. "Sparring exercises are an option available to the. Whoever wishes to, head down into the pit and engage in some friendly sparring matches. Faust, Leon, and Megan will be watching over you very carefully... I have to iterate that the second that we tell you to stop, you will stop." Megan, Leon, and Faust stood by the entrance to the pit. Megan was the first to speak, "Talk to us before you go down there. We wouldn't want any of you getting [i]hurt[/i]." She had an over the top cheery attitude in her voice. It also brought up the question if she was being sarcastic or not. Truth be told; this was Adam's way of separating the students he cares about (i.e The people who wish to develop their power for the better), from the ones he does not (i.e Arrogant jackasses like Valjean who cared about nothing more than fighting). "For those uninterested with that... We will be engaging in sessions where I will assess your abilities and help you improve on them." Adam was hoping that a majority of the students choose this option, there were some people he wanted to check up on. But he had to continue explaining what they were going to do next. "Then there's the team exercises, everyone will be split up into two teams of my choosing and will engage in a variety of activities... First one will be simple, I assume that you are all familiar with capture the flag? There will be two bases, and a flag in the center of the field, and the first person to bring it back to their base will score a win for their team." He nodded his head. Looking at the students, smiling warmly, "I would tell you the second exercise, but it is something special I have cooked up." Indeed, Adam was pushing this new exercise for years... It requires a very big field. "I won't spoil it." He started walking away from the sparring ring, "Now, whoever wishes for some hands on training, please come with me. Miss Ravencroft will be assisting me for today." The cast split up into two groups. With Dana, Theresa, Gabe, Jake, Jaska, Nikki, Deborah, & Shannon going along with Adam for his brand of training. Amanda, Sylvia, Valjean, & Matthias went towards the sparring ring for some action. Adam stood in front of his students, clearing his throat. He needs a first volunteer! He knew that many students here were reluctant to show their power in front of the students, but he needed to get something done. He tipped his glasses, "Now, who wants to go first...?"
