[IC] Welcome To H.I.V.E

[Tidus]

Jack would smile, his face turning a little red. "Maybe I can help you like I did before, make sure your wrist is perfectly fine? Of course, you'll need to have a snack ready." He would say with a slight humor. He was really worried, but he felt a lot better now that he could see she was okay. He hadn't realized how... attached..?.. He was getting, and it was strange for him. But he really liked her and couldn't stand to see her hurt like that. He would just shake the thought off. But he did wonder why... 'Maybe she's got me in a shadowy trance.' He would think to himself, smiling a bit more and laughing in his head.

Violet grins and says, "I'll be fine in a minute. Once we get our powers back, I can create a sling out of the shadows." She pulls off her vial to show him. The sweat from her hands mixes on the vial, creating it slippery and she drops it. The vial doesn't break, but the cap pops off and all of the shadows spill out, drifting away. "Dammit," Violet yells, picking the vial back up as fast as she can. But it's too late. The shadows are gone. She looks hopelessly over at Jack. "That is a my shadows! I can't use my powers without my shadows and I can only get them from dead animals. If I try to take it from live ones, they'll die anyways!" Violet hangs a head in her hands. "I can't take them from objects either! They'll break!"

Ariella reaction caught James a little off guard. Being nervous was usually his MO given the circumstances. At least he wasn't alone which was of some comfort. "Thanks. I pretty much knew I wasn't going to make first either. Some of the others are a lot more hardcore. Or at the very least that's what they put on." He shrugged lightly. Not enough time to figure everyone out. His mind ran off down a rabbit trail recalling what everyone said and did. 'Now's not the time.' He told himself, dropping it for later. Turning his attention back to Arialla he smiled slightly "At least you didn't get hit in the head with a rubber bullet. I might have to reconsider my opinion on obstacle courses." He rubbed the side of his head slightly where he got hit. Oh right, he hadn't really introduced himself. "My name is James, alias Synthesis. Your pick."

[paigesweetheart]

Ariella rose an eyebrow at James when he said that the bullets were actually...rubber? Well that was interesting...she thought they were real but then again why put real bullets? It was gonna be a bloody bath in the room. So it made sense. Ariella and her imagination ladies and gentleman. Oh he introduced himself, okay she can do that too. "My name is Ariella. Uhhh just Ariella. I dont think I have a codename..." She smiled at James extending her hand to shake with him. It was also a happy moment for Ariella because she made a new friend! "Nice to meet you James alias Synthesis.. Im guessing your power is ... plant?"

[twave]

Shaking his head, both at the question and the fact that she repeated exactly what he said. "I see what you did there. But for your question, no. I can see why you would think that though. It's actually derived from the word synthesize. The closest definition would be 'To make something.'" The technical nerd in him was showing. Before going too far with an explanation he attempted to make something real quick. Their powers weren't back on yet. That would probably be over shortly with class ending. "The easiest thing would be to show you. Suffice to say I can create objects."

[Horrid]

Molly rolled from the floor and took a series of deep breaths to slow her heart and lungs to calmer levels. She dusted off her costume quickly and shook out her luxurious, waist-length platinum curls before standing with her hands on her hips. She quickly removed her respiration mask to kiss her biceps and flex. Her spandex mask covered her face in a pentagonal shape except for the area around her mouth, the apex of the pentagon starting in the middle of bridge of her nose. She huffed a few more breaths before laughing breathlessly, "Hope y'all had fun, because I sure did. Wasn't no hell in the cell or a jewellery store job, but it certainly did well to get my ticker pumpin'." She rolled her shoulder and it came back with a solid click, causing her to sigh with relief before standing up straight, one hand at the respirator dangling from her neck. "I'm assuming y'all already know each other, right?" She said to the other students present.

Ariella looked at James a little confused about his powers but that was when he actually explained it. Of course..! Duh, how stupid was she? It's totally science stuff. So she giggled shaking her head and facepalming. "Wow. That was an awkward question that I asked. I should have known that in the first place. But that's really cool.. how you can create objects and stuff. All I can do is f- Well.. I would show you when I can and when we actually have our powers... heh." she sighed, cuffing a string of her hair behind her ear bitting her bottom lips while looking around the room and then turning her attention back to James. "Alright. We should go get back to the others." Ariella smiled at James, waiting for him to lead the way!

[Saarebas]

Mammoth had been waiting at the finish line for everyone to finish before he spoke. "Hmmm... not the worst times I've seen... But you lot are going to have to do a hell of a lot better if you don't want to get dead." He said as he crossed his arms. He then looked to Dimitri and smirked. "Good job bolt for brains you won, you shouldn't have to clean the bath rooms..." He said before he peered down at the boy. "But since your metal butt decided that you wanted to be late for my class you get to clean them with the rest of these ankle biters." He said with a laugh. Mammoth then pulled out the same small device from before and pressed the button, the faint buzzing in the room stopped and the students would slowly start getting their powers back. The room also returned to its former unassuming training room appearance. "You all have about a hour of free time before you all have to get to your next class. And trust me you wouldn't want to see what Pinky is like when you are late for her class." He said with a devilish laugh. "Now beat it!"

[Mistress Dizzy]

Jetta started off on the course when other students started rushing past her. She felt silly for asking- that's what she got for being polite! While she was able to dodge the turrets with ease, there was a ringing in her ears. It only increased by the time she reached the next obstacle, and got to the point where it was drowning out everything else. "Not good..." She muttered, trying to cross a bridge determined to blast her into the water with well placed air cannons. "Oh, shi-" Everything went gray for several moments as the tinny whine in her ears turned to screaming, and her legs went out from under her. The air cannon hit her not five seconds after that, pushing her off the bridge into the water. The water was ice cold, and the sharpness of it was the only thing that brought her back to semiconscious. She had enough energy to get back to solid ground, and then fought to stay conscious. She heard others crossing the finish line, and a winner being declared. Apparently class was done. That was good enough for her, but she couldn't move. All of a sudden, her power hit her again like a speeding truck. Her eyes rolled back and she blacked out.

[twave]

About to respond to Ariella, James' thought was interrupted by Mammoth's booming voice. Apparently they have some free time again, another hour. "Guess not." He turned back. "An hour. That doesn't bode well for the difficulty of this class. Might have to save judgement but I may have found my least favorite class already." He let out a slight sigh and glanced at the course with an enthused expression. At least his powers were coming back. Spotting Jin still out on the course his expression changed to confusion as she dropped to the ground. Glancing back at Ariella he motioned to Jin. "That look odd to you?" Not really able to tell exactly what was going on from a distance he started walking over. He waited a little bit before asking anything. She could just be resting or something after having to get out of the pool. "You alright there?" No response, no movement either. Having gotten close enough it looked like the girl had passed out. This was something a little out of his depth. "Uh... We might need some help here!"

[MonsieurShade]

Dimitri listened idly to the others discussing who they were and what their abilities are, only chiming in once one student seemed to address everyone as a whole. "Nope,'fraid i'm at a loss here when it comes to familiarity. Name's Dimitri, Dimitri Lockhart, though the last set of hobos I shacked up with before coming here called me Decibel. You guys are free to call me whichever one you want.". Dimitri would've taken the opportunity to explain how he'd received his nickname, however the booming voice of the co-headmaster stopped him before he could even get the chance. Dimitri's head slumped as Mammoth shot down any hopes of avoiding being in trouble for his lateness, however he still managed a lopsided grin. "Alright, I suppose I brought that one on myself. Guess i'd better get my arm fixed up now before I end up late twice in a row." He said with a hint of mirth. With that, Dimitri spun on his heel and made his way for the exit, already unzipping the small repair kit attached to his belt. Just before he could make it out of the door however, one of the students began shouting for assistance. The cyborg turned his head, then sighed as he saw Jetta's unconscious form, "Goddamn my softness." he muttered as he turned back around and walked towards James and Jetta. "Alright, let's see what we got.", He said as he crouched and lightly tapped Jetta's face, "C'mon, wakey wakey slugger, now's not a good time for a power nap.". When he did not receive a response, Dimitri sighed and held his hand about a foot above Jetta's face and paused to think. "Hrm...just below motor cycle revving loudness should do. Plenty loud, but not enough to deafen her. 'Least so long as I don't do it continuously.", He said to himself as his arm began to vibrate. "Let's try this again, wakey wakey!" He said as a short blast of sound was emitted from the speaker in his palm.

[ScarlettWaters16]

Jinx listens as the students disperse from the training room. She smiles as she walks in to see Mammoth and notices that there are still a few students in the training room. She walks over to him. "How did it go? It looks, productive..." Her eyes scan around the training room. "The team classes are next, correct? Considering the fact that they are very similar, I was thinking about just combining them into one class. Seems easier, doesn't it?"

[Mistress Dizzy]

"Nope,'fraid i'm at a loss here when it comes to familiarity. Name's Dimitri, Dimitri Lockhart, though the last set of hobos I shacked up with before coming here called me Decibel.

The unconscious Jin flinched in reflex to the noisy stimuli, but she didn't stir more than that, or wake at all. Her chest simply rose and fell, and there was a faint, silvery light distortion starting to surround her.

[Horrid]

Molly looks over to the fallen Jin and the very audible attempts to revive her with a scowl before looking back over at the other students and Co-Headmaster Jinx. "Well call me Madame Smash. Or Smash is cool. Champs is alright too." She ran her fingers through her hair a few times to brush out some of the knots before feeling her abilities returning like a slow ebb of flowing water into her head. Slowly she turned her hands on her wrists with a flourish, and was lifted from the ground ever so slightly with a deep, droning hum. As she ascended to around a foot off the ground, she quickly donned her respirator once more with a giggle.

[paigesweetheart]

As they were about to leave the training room. Finally. They were about to get a one hour break before they go back to their other sessions of their training. Now leaving the room, a girl fell on the ground. Ariella looked at James worried as they walked towards the person who blacked out. Ariella preferred to stay back because she didn't want to cause nothing bad to happen. That would be explained later. "James.. is she going to be alright..?

[twave]

Dimitri was the first to respond it seemed. This guy was consistent which was a good to know. Unsure what the cyborg was doing he was slightly shocked by the method he employed to wake up Jin. At any rate it didn't work at rousing the girl. Very well, time to think. Turning his hand over he placed his index finger an thumb to his forehead and shut his eyes. He'd fainted once and he tried to recall what the doctor used to snap him out of it. Some small packet thing. Obviously he didn't have one handy but with his powers back he could potentially make what it contained. "I can't say for sure. I don't know what's wrong." In response to Ariella's question. Reaching down he pulled out his phone. The Internet was such a wonderful thing, most of the time anyway. Smelling salts, that was it. So long as it was a solid, which from the name alone told him it was, he could likely make it. Ammonium carbonate, comprised of four common elements. This would be easy. He placed his hands together and made a first attempt. Glancing at what he made it wasn't quite crystalline so he destroyed it and tried a couple more times. Satisfied that he had it right and that the quantity was low enough he brought his hand up and snapped his finger under his nose to test it. As one would expect he jerked back and coughed slightly. "Oh crap. Yep that's it. Alright let me try." He'd forgotten how strong the stuff was. No wonder they use it in the medical field. Kneeling down he waited until after Jin exhaled then snapped his fingers again. The action produced a small amount of ammonium carbonate that broke up immediately. It had an extremely potent smell and was not something easy to ignore. Having sampled it himself it was like getting shocked make into consciousness.

[MonsieurShade]

Dimitri scowled slightly as Jin failed to react as he'd desired to his attempts at awakening her. The boy's intentions were good enough, however he was severely lacking in the first aid department. Paying no mind to the slight distortion field being produced by Jin, Dimitri flexed his hand a bit and prepared for another blast. "Maybe if I do it a bit louder she'll-", He stopped mid sentence as James decided to try his luck, holding something under her nose. Common sense finally seemed to dawn on Dimitri, and the cyborg got up, brushed off the back of his pants, and backed up, deciding to leave the medical assistance to the ones that were still fully human. That final thought caused Dimitri to wince a bit, however he brushed it to the side and instead, opted to take his leave to tend to his arm, "Well, this was fun and all, but seeing as I don't enjoy the idea of walking around with an arm flopping every which way all day, i'm gonna take my leave. See you folks next class." Dimitri stated before once more making his way to the door and making an exit. As he made his way back to his room, Dimitri looked back to the class he'd come from and smirked, "Interesting people. Looks like this H.I.V.E. business is gonna be pretty fun.".

[Mistress Dizzy]

Jin inhaled, and then started coughing, coming back to consciousness with a flailing of limbs and a long string of very vulgar curses in multiple languages. "Nngh..." She clutched her head and hissed. There was a dull headache above her eyebrows. Finally, she looked up, startled to see that she was in the midst of a crowd. "...." She picked herself up rapidly, trying to ignore the way she wobbled on her feet and nearly fell again. "...Thanks." She mumbled it to her feet, not looking at any of them. Then she pushed her way through the assembled crowd, desperate to get out, to go anywhere but where she was.

[TheDarkTemplar]

Shane exhaled a sigh of relief, class was finally over. Not that he hated it, in fact this might be his favorite class. What made him grateful for its end was when his powers returned to him. It felt as if a part of him was missing but was returned to him. Upon sensing his powers fully returned he immediately shifted into Rift Form. The shadows in the room were enhanced to the point where ignoring them was impossible. Looking at the world through the eyes of the Riftman was spectacular in a depressing way. Instead of seeing an area shaded in black there was nothing visible, it was as if the area covered in shadow had never existed and in its place was a black tear in the world. Another change was when he was invisible the world around him became ethereal. People were ghostly figures of themselves, and the world lost all color.  Now invisible Shane noticed that one of the students lay unconscious on the floor of the training room. While he could help he knew she'd be fine, the others were already coming to her aid. He had an hour to himself and he was going to use it well. He hovered over to his room and shifted back to normal. Opening his bag he took out Riya and unsheathed her. The blade was black like tar but shined in the light, it was made of obsidian and after the amount of care and maintenance Shane put into this blade it could slice through anything. It seemed that everytime he held this blade, memories of his time with Riya came to mind. This time he was reminded of a job the two of them did. It was their first job together and as one would suspect it didn't go smoothly. Shane was the predator, always looking for a moment to strike from the shadows and take down anyone in the way while Riya was an opportunist, she looked for ways to distract and confuse guards to clear a way to their mark without bloodshed or violence. With their extremely diffferent tactics clashing the two ended up being more of a hindrance to each other than a benefit and were quickly discovered by the guards. However they did manage to get what they came for...after being chased by the guards for a good while.  Shane snapped back to reality once he hearing a group of students walking through the halls. "I gotta work on my combat skills", he said to himself just before he stomach growled "Alright, food then training". Shifting once again he phased through the room door and flew down the halls towards the cafeteria where he was greeted by a wide assortment of...slop. "With all the money put into the tech and facilities I'm not surprised the food here sucks", he said as he grabbed a plate full of the stuff and sat at a table. It was better than what he used to eat at least.
