[u]Zack and Vespera[/u]

Okay, so this old guy wasn't going to step to do anything until he did. A little disappointing, but Zack would roll with it. Not like he had much of another choice. When Matt finished up his display with wind, he caused a plastic orb to pop out of his utility belt. Holding out his hand and splaying his fingers he had it slither between each of them. "I could show you more, but what I'm really interested is hitting things directly." Just in case he needed to see that as well he held onto the ball loosely then smacked it with direct force and sent it flying a few feet before catching it and bringing it back again. What the others could do he was beginning to care less about. So far they had more simplistic abilities, or weren't very skilled. Didn't meant he felt like a hot shot either. This whole thing was stupid, something that should have been done behind closed doors. Then somebody new came and drowned out the feeling he had previously. This new girl was pretty wow, that was all he could parallel her to. Unlike the others he was very much interested in who Kristen was and what she could do. [i]I bet she has a great ability.[/i] His thinking was way off, and like with the earlier sensation he didn't even notice it.

Vespera watched the proceedings focusing on Matt and Zack. Those two were the threats among this group. So far she had learned a little of what they could do, and she wasn't planning on looking away. There were actually a few things she herself wanted to improve upon under Adam's guidance. She created a small strand of blackness between her finger and thumb. Then in her other hand she made a small rod and started pressing and tapping it against the cord. Now that she was demonstrating something it would be a matter of time before she got her window of training. What she was doing was nothing that seemed impressive for her level of skill, however Adam would catch on that there was something else at play. Some of the times she stuck the solidified shadow she felt a trace amount of feedback on her end. A minute sensation from something striking it with her being in direct contact with it. "Well Mr. Blackmoore, you can see how this all works. Tell me whether it gets strong or weaker." The link shortened ever so slightly, this time when she stuck it it sent a tiny increase in results. Then she lengthened it more than before and did the same thing with diminished return. She wasn't attuned enough to feel the difference herself, but she had a feeling what he'd say. Which unfortunately meant she had a long ways to go before being able to feel vibrations in larger webs remotely.

A strong batch of human pheromones began stifle her own. The source of which seemed to be a new student. Vespera felt the affects right off the bat, and she battled them with tooth and nail. For starters she was aware of it and less susceptible. After stepping away and turning up her own production in response she felt their influence subside. She let out a low hiss and stared Kristen down. Then she observed the affect she was having on the other participants. [i]This might actually turn out to be more interesting than I thought.[/i] Warily she resumed her form of practice as if nothing was wrong.

[u]Karlie Davis[/u]

There was a momentary look of dumbfoundment on Karlie's face. [i]Since when has she ever wanted to do anything like this?[/i] She smiled almost big enough to make up for the fact that Shannon looked like she would rather be else where. [i]Oh, so she was afraid to ask? How silly.[/i] "Ooh, really? I'm sure we can do all kinds of stuff! So what did you have in mind?" The duffle bag and portable curtain were dropped before the two. "I got all sorts of crazy stuff in here, but I'm sure somebody like yourself could do even better!" The first thing she grabbed out of her stash was a pair of butterfly wings. It was the more delicate costumes, with parts like those that gave her the best abilities. "You know, I've begun to realize that I should be be able to cosplay fictional characters. Seems like a surefire way to get a good set of powers, though I doubt some of them would be as stong as the real thing or I guess fake thing." At this she chuckled a little. "That's something we could try! So what's your guys's favorite characters?" This would of course only work if Shannon was actually willing to use her magic. Karlie would go online to order several costumes and a ton of supplies to be brought in on the next boat regardless of the outcome. Still she was rather hopeful to give it a go sooner rather than later.

[u]Poppy Flanagan[/u]

With that weight taken off her chest Poppy felt better. "Oh, okay." Talking to the teacher one on one seemed a lot better than getting up there with everyone else and having nothing to show. Of course she didn't want to show anyone anyways. "I'd like that, if that's what you guys were going to do already." She was feeling much better about things. [i]Maybe Adam will have it all figured out. I don't want to be monster.[/i] Dwelling on it was going to do nothing other than get herself worked up again so she pushed it to the back on her mind. "Thank's you two. I don't know how I'd be handling all this alone." Looking up on stage she saw people doing various things that normal people couldn't. Her eyes then wandered to the sparing pits and she was glad that she peer into them form their current location. "So what happens after class? When were done talking to Adam." This was something she hadn't thought about and she hadn't thought about before, thankfully she brought it up before they ended up going their separate ways. The last thing she wanted was to be left to fend for herself in this unfamiliar environment.
