[IC] The Experiment

[MarshiestMallow]

"Lunar manipulation is what I can do. Vlad suppressed my abilities with medication when he injected me, and gave me these cuts, but lets see what I can do" She said, closing her eyes for a moment. She breathed in and out calmly, and as she did so, it seemed she glowed slightly with yellow-gray light. And she smiled. There. That was better, wasn't 'it? She felt stronger, powerful, her aches and pains fading away, her cuts stopped bleeding but did not close over.

she felt like herself and when she opened her eyes, the gray seemed silver. "Alright" She said, and she began to move. As she did so, lunar energy began to form constructs, "I did nothing in gym. Guess I was saving up for this". steps formed, and she climbed up them, running, and after six steps, she launched into the air, catching herself on a pole, ad twisting about, before leaping to the ground. Two whips of lunar energy formed in her hands, and she flicked them, making cracking sounds. And then she slipped. quickly making the whips disappear.

She chuckled at herself. She then formed three balls of lunar energy, yellow-gray light, and began to juggle them. it was clear that he was merely doing this to show off other skills, as well as what she could do.

Roxy clapped her hands. Her face showed just how unimpressed she was by the other two girls. "Quiet a light show you guys can put on a show. Be tween the two of you we can have us a really good fourth of July and Christmas." she stated sarcastically. "It's really too bad your abilities attact so attention."

"Don't we all?" Adalina stated. "I mean, seriously. Look at us. We're not even human anymore. We're alien." She looked at the girl who had spoken. "Lights or no lights, we all stand out. Just saying."

"I can be subtle, but how will that show you what I can do?" Cassandra said, shrugging, "There's a time and a pace for show, and for quite and subtleness. but oh well. I'm not here to impress you." She smiled and shrugged again. "I'd like to go clean up now. My own blood is drying and cracking, making me feel sticky. And I'd rather not get an infection because of these cuts, so I'd like to see to them"

Then she sighed, "We're only not human when we lose our humanity"

"Sit down."Vlad told her sharply. "I know you have half healed yourself so you have nothing to worry about." No that we have seen two of the abilities. How about one more. Flippy? Alistair. Do one of you boys want to go next?"

Alastair looked towards Vlad when he asked if he wanted to show off his abilities Alastair shrugged, "Why not." He said stepping forward he streched his arm a little but before snapping his fingers a tiny crimsion flame appeared inbetween his fingers he extended his hand out making a bigger flame in his hand it started climbing up his arm intel his whole arm was covered in flames,He didn't mean to let it cover his arm he almost started panicking he quickly snapped his fingers agin and watched as all the flames went back into his finger tips. Alastair walked back to his place keeping the same apathetic facial expression that he had before.

Humanity. How does one keep their humanity when they are cut up and whipped for being humane? It didn't add up, but Adalina wasn't about to say that out loud. She watched now as one of the guys took the floor exhibiting his control of fire. He seemed a little clumsy. Like he didn't care. She herself didn't have total control of her powers, but she at least cared. Who knows. Maybe she was reading him wrong. Anyways. It didn't matter.

[MarshiestMallow]

Cassandra simply starred at Vlad. "Half healed? No, I've stopped the blood from flowing. That's it. I haven't healed anything! They are still open wounds!" She barely suppressed saying you idiot. "I need a lot more time to heal with my abilities" She said in annoyance. It occurred to her that Vlad didn't know everything about them all. She shook her head. But she sighed, and sat down. "FIne, I'll get an infection, probably a horribly bad one, and die because you deny me water" She had to obey him for now, but that didn't mean she couldn't be mouthy towards him. She crossed her arms over her chest and watched the next person demonstrate their abilities

"Adalins" Vlad snapped his finger. "it seems Cassandra has already forgotten her lesson. Already please come here." he pointed to the spot beside him. His eyes gleamed with pleasure at having an excuse to torture someone.

Roxy turned away from the group. She hated that they all had their abilities. Of course they hadn't tried to escape so guessed that made since but it didn't make her feel any better. She felt out of place.

Adalina hesitated at Vlad's orders, but didn't dare defy them. She looked at the floor as she passed Cassandra. Silently, She took her newly assigned spot next to the man. She was trembling a little as she knew what was going to happen. She held her arms so she could feel their smoothness for the last time. After today, she'd have some nasty scars.

Lucys eyes widened. Vlad was going to torture that girl in front of everyone. Stepping away form the wall, she quickly walked over, standing in front of Vlad, between him and Adalina.
"Wait. Earlier, you asked me whether we should continue my punishment later or in front of the others. Well, do it now. I'll take both of their punishments. I know for a fact that you are still angry at me." Lucy kept her monotone look, Despite being fearful. What the hell was she doing? What she had gone through yesterday was horrible enough, why was she asking for more? She looked back at Adalina. That's why. The girl, Adalina, was obviously not used to getting hurt, and Lucy was very much used to it by now.

"N-no." Adalina stammered. Not again. She didn't want other people getting hurt. She didn't want to get hurt either, but at least the bloodthirsty man would be satisfied for a while. Or at least she hoped. She grabbed the girl's arm. "I'll be okay." She promised the girl.

Lucy quietly looked back at the girl, give her a quick once over before shaking her head and putting a hand on the girls. "Don't worry, I've had worse." Turning back to Vlad, her expression changed back into its blank state. "After this, don't you think it's time you actually started training us? You talk about making us into 'suitable specimen' for the government, but how are we supposed to do that if you can't give us instructions because you're to busy torturing people. We can't take you seriously until you make us, and just hurting people isn't going to work."

"Do you really wish to take Adalina's place Lucy?" Vlad shook his head. "I think not Cassandra's punishment for speaking out is to watch Adalina be punished in her place. Too many of you do not respect my authority and most of you come from backgrounds that make physical punishments almost pointless. I will punish Adalina even though she has done nothing wrong and we will move on."

Spark ignored the others and sat next to Alastair. She wasn't very impressed with 'moon girl' but she was curious about Alastair's fire ability. "These three won't last long if they keep bitching to the old man." She lit up a smoke and offered one to him. "So you're pretty hot, Mister Pyro." Despite not really caring about the others she was eventually going to be working with them so she could at least get them to be cooperative.

[Dark Angel]

Lucy hesitated, only for a second. "At least let me take part of it. You should know that just because of my past doesn't mean I can't feel pain. I thought that was clear after the pain you caused me last night. You made me an offer, and I'm excepting it." She lowered her voice so that only Vlad could hear her. She had surprised herself, usually she didn't get involved. But this was different. Adalina was too much like Lucy before. She remembered feeling how Adalina felt. It was just too personal.

Vlad considered the offer. "Your adding Adalina's pain to your own?" he asked he studied her like a scientist trying to dissect something that he didn't understand. "How does your taking her pain teach the others anything? You obviously don't fear pain. Why should I agree to this deal?"

[MarshiestMallow]

"You said I have to obey. Not that I have to zip my mouth. And respect has to be earned. I do not respect your authority, this is true. And yet, I'm still stuck in this classroom. Listening to you" she rose again, and there was a slight whimper as some of her wounds started to bleed again.

"You seem to forget that I'm not tied up, and that I am not powerless. And therefore I won't stand by and do nothing while you harm someone in front of me" She was furious. Yet she didn't let it show.

"I can make you powerless Cassandra." Vlad told her. "What I have given I can take away. Ask Roxy and Lucy how it feels to be helpless." Vlad said as he stroke Lucy's neck. "They both nearly escaped after promising not to. Both had that moment when they thought they had power. Now Eoxy were a collar like the pet she promised to be without the power I gave her. And Lucy here still has punishment coming because I only gave her half the whippings she earned be escaping."
