[IC] Mutant Facility

[King Tai]

Wes was not someone to get impressed but the size of the arena impressed him "Not too bad."

[Carlsberg]

Jen looked around the arena, a slightly worried look on her face.
'The size of this could work against me,' She thought.

[Garrison]

Ty was peacefully listening to his music, eating another slice of pizza as everyone around him socialized. He was never that good at making friends or having fun. At least he had hot food in his stomach and no one was shooing him away.

He saw the guards saying something, it seemed important so he lowered his headphones and listened closely. Doing so revealed the upcoming fights and who was to face each other. Raymond, it seems, was his opponent.

He knew nothing about this person though, and he didn't like that. "Anything I should know about the guy I'm fighting?" he said out loud in hopes someone would answer him as he followed everyone to the arena.

@Carlsberg@Ryouko

Damien followed the others after finishing his pizza. Damn it tasted good, for the first piece of food he had in a while. Damien's eyes widened and he smirked a little when Jen actually punched Kiiros. Like holy shit... Jen, the girl who has been the most shy punched the guy who was being the biggest asshole. He gave Jen a smile as she walked past him. "Damn, girl." He commented, a bit chuffed at the outcome. Although, Kiiros was right, the arena was huge. Damien snapped his fingers a few times, creating a spark with each snap. He wanted to warm up a little, get the flow of electrons in his body moving again. He looked around, and spotted the new people. He heard his opponent was Ryouko, but he didn't know which of the two was him. "Hey, is Ryouko hanging about here?" He asked.

[Ryouko]

Ryouko had obviously followed them from when they left the cafeteria, silent, his headphones blasting music into his ears. He already knew what they would be doing simply by looking around the arena, and his smile didn't even fade. He didn't care much for fighting, but if it was Mandatory...Then he didn't have a choice.

Growing up on the streets had taught him hand to hand, and various styles of fighting with weapons. The neighborhood he grew up in wasn't a nice place, and he began to scratch at his sleeve softly, focused and prepared. He didn't think anyone knew what he could do...He didn't even know his opponent. Better to hide his abilities for now, he supposed, rather than give anyone an advantage over him.

He pulled his headphones off finally, glancing at the other people. 'Hmm..I wonder who I'm up against..' He thought in silence. Then he heard Damien speaking and held up a hand, halfway.

[GingerBoi123]

@Ryouko

Damien walked up and greeted him, holding a hand out. "Yo man, I'm Damien. I think I'm your partner and/or opponent. Electricity is my game, you?" He asked. He didn't want to get off on the wrong foot with this guy, and he wanted to be friends with the dude before and after the fights.

[Ryouko]

@GingerBoi123

Ryouko blinked and lowered his hand softly, shaking Damien's hand softly. He then opened his mouth and spoke, his voice scratchy and discordant from disuse. He hadn't used it in a while.

"Ryouko...Ashborn. Blood manipulation... is my game. Nice to meet you." He then pushed his free hand into his left pocket, his natural smile on his face. "Let's just say this...This is training...Won't reflect on how I view you or how you view me, I hope."

He then released his hand from Damien's, before he thought softly. 'This is going to be challenging...'

[Varicke]

Kiiros was enjoying himself too much while flying that he wasn't paying attention to how high he was from the ground. He attempted to make a loop but only made it half way before he hit the ground, landing hard on his head. His wings disappeared and he laid there for a moment as if the pain hadn't sunk in yet. ".......Aaaah!!" He rolled around on the ground head in his hands. "Son of a fuckin' shit, freakin', asshole, fuckfaced-" He went on a long string of cuss words as if it made the pain go away. A couple of guards were laughing at him from some where. "Don't beat yourself up before the fighting even begins." He quickly sat up, growling at them. "OH, SHUT UP!"

[Xiphonic]

@Varicke
Veronica laughed extremely hard as Kiiros slammed into the ground. She was clutching her stomach as she walked over to Kiiros. "Need some heals? Cuase I got heals if you want some heals.".

The arena she would be fighting in was relatively plain, large, but plain. Her experiences in fighting people off from when she lived on the streets would do little good. She was used to using the terrain to her advantage; throwing near by trash at an attacker, jumping down from above, getting a solid hit as the enemy rounded a corner. But an open area meant none of that would be useful.

[GingerBoi123]

@Ryouko@Varicke

Damien nodded. "Glad we're on the same wavelength Ryouko." He replied with a smile. This guy was all right. Although, he was a little scared at the sound of blood manipulation. His attention turned to Kiiros who had hit the ground with his flame wings. He shook his head and chuckled a little before charging himself and surging towards Kiiros. Although Damien didn't like to boast, he knew his speed was close to incredible and that it could be the key to victory in his fight. Ryouko was nice, but of course Damien wanted to win. He leant over and offered Kiiros a hand. "C'mon, get up you."

[Varicke]

@GingerBoi123@Xiphonic

Kiiros looked up at Damien and reluctantly took his hand, being pulled up. He turned his attention to Veronica who was finding his misfortune hilarious. "I'm starting to wonder if you guys are any different than me at all, bunch of sadists you all are..... and uh... yes I.... I might need.... some uh... a little healing..." He looked a little embarrassed, rubbing the sore spot on his head.

[Ryouko]

Ryouko watched Damien speed off and seemed to focus on the speed that Damien possessed. He knew that he was going to be outsped, putting a hand on his chin as he began to look around the arena, for some places that might be best for him to defend from. He eyed the walls and cieling, before he began to form a plan in his silence. He glanced at Kiiros, before he walked towards the flame winged person's crash. Luckily he wasn't against him. Though he wanted to laugh, he didn't.

As Ryouko walked over, he pushed both hands into his pockets, trying to dig his nails into his palms enough to draw blood. Preparation for a fight is definitely key.

[Xiphonic]

@Varicke@GingerBoi123
Veronica raised her hands near Kiiros and began to channel the light into infrared and focus it on Kiiros, causing his wounds to heal. "Hey Damien, could you use a bit of electricity so I can use some of that energy?"

[Varicke]

@Xiphonic

Kiiros scratched the back of his head in slight embarrassment as his wounds were healed, and then crossed his arms at Veronica's question to Damien. "Wouldn't that be cheating?"

[GingerBoi123]

@Varicke@Xiphonic

"I dunno about that one, man." Damien replied to Kiiros's comment. He looked at Veronica, wondering how she needed the electricity. He didn't really take science seriously. "Yeah, sure V, but how? You want me to shock you... orrr?"

[Xiphonic]

@Varicke
"How is that cheating? Just getting both of us at our peak condition. I wouldn't want the test results to be skewed because you hit your head and I got tiered fixing you." The damage was fixed but she was feeling drained.

[Xiphonic]

@GingerBoi123
She then turned to Damien "All I need is for there to be visible electricity. I can use the light coming off of it."

[Ryouko]

@Varicke @Xiphonic

Ryouko stopped walking as Veronica spoke, feeling his crescent moon nails slightly break the skin of his palms. 'God...People must think I'm crazy.' He thought softly, as he raised a hand and waved at Kiiros, and Veronica. His headphones rested on his neck, the music that he was listening to earlier having been turned off. Though, he didn't mean to interrupt anything. Just meeting everyone he could, he supposed.

[GingerBoi123]

@Xiphonic

Damien nodded. "You got it V." He said as he held out his hand. Electric sparks briefly travelled down his arm, like a current, and at the end of his arm formed into a small ball of shimmering blue electricity. "Take as much as you need."

[Varicke]

@GingerBoi123@Xiphonic@Ryouko

"Yea just do the thing you did with your arm back at the obstacle course room. You know, the thing you did sending tiny lightning bolts through your arm to try and intimidate me but failed at doing so. Remember that? Good times." He sighed contently thinking back on it about 3 hours ago...

He then noticed somebody waving at him. "Who the hell is that?"
