Peter had kept to himself in the back of the room, silently listening to Adam's speech on arena armors and ratings and classifications and so on. The arena armors were supposed to amplify or enhance, or in some cases, work in conjunction with. Peter would, perhaps, not have one available to him. It was basic deduction: before he left on the boat, he was signed out as an applying doctor and professor. As he arrived, he was suddenly a student. This error was made only recently, and so the faculty likely did not have the time to prepare a suit for him. And no one would ever know, because it would be seen as just a simple oversight. The children that surrounded him with scurrying about, excited and eager and anxious - Peter just felt indifference. Wearing a suit wasn't a big deal to him, neither was showing off. He'd rather remain inconspicuous... but there was still that plan. He had to meet someone with a particular skill-set that would allow them into the warehouse. The problem was, such skill-sets belong to people that were not necessarily trust worthy. Children with those skill-sets, even less so. But Peter still had no choice.
He continued on toward the locker rooms, searching for his own. Unlike the others, which had a plaque of their name labeled upon the lockers, Peter's own had a hastily-put machine-stuck plastic label taped onto it, named "Richard Cox". Briefly fiddling with the lock got him to opening the locker door, but unfortunately, there was nothing inside but a dust bunny. Turning around, he glanced at a closet. A metal sliding door was there, and upon opening it, was a collection of standard arena suits on clothes hangers. These were meant for younger students, so he'd have to go for an ill-fitted larger size (except for the gargantuan one on the far left - probably made for students whose power was correlated to their size). He selected a large and examined it carefully. A black and grey kevlar mesh. Skin tight. Had two arms. The palms and soles were padded with a kind of rubber. That was something he couldn't manage with. While trying to rip apart kevlar was one hell of a feat on its own, there was the idea that perhaps these suits weren't as carefully made... but no, that would be a liability issue. He examined it more closely.
While he'd have his work cut out for him trying to rip kevlar... there was the seam. The stitching. That he could do. He set the suit onto the ground and stepped on one end of it, before taking his hand at the base of the suit's arm and pulling on the arm. Within a moment, a ripping sound was heard and his arm was abruptly pulled back. One arm down. Peter repeated the process on the other side. He felt lower down on the suit where the legs were. Rubber soles. For grip, no doubt. This time, the seams were around the knees. One above the knee cap, one below. Presumably for joint flexibility. All he needed was to be rid of the soles, not to strip down. He ripped away at the leggings at the bottom seam, allowing his knees to remain concealed.
A brief moment of stripping down and donning the suit later, Peter found that it was still pretty tight fitting. Not that he could feel it. But Adam Blackmore did say they were supposed to be skin tight, yes? He'd be provided a more personalized suit in the future, no doubt. As for right now, his bare left arm had full control, and there was no empty and lifeless sleeve on his right side. The worst thing about having one arm was pretending. It was salt in a wound.
Electricity. I should find electricity soon.
There was nothing to be gained in the locker room alone. He returned outside to hear the bustling crowds of children. Peter ejected electricity out his feet onto the floor - a feat more easily and effectively done with the lack of footwear. The crowd and the room lit up vibrantly. The student body was donned in similar looking suits, some more complex than others. One girl (did she look familiar?) was a mix and match of flesh and metal - in his vision, she lit up more than any other person. She conducted the electricity well. He had to wonder if she would feel the buzzing effects more significantly than the others, a reason for concern, but Peter was stoic as always. He just had to find a proper... tenant of the skill-set he was searching for. He found himself staring at one girl - a black suit with a thick bush around the neck, who donned a hood. It looked like the stereotypical getup for the kind of person he was looking for, but if her ability had something to do with not being seen, then that was a start. He had to wonder if she could pick locks and carry boxes without being seen, too. He didn't fully realize that we was very slowly pacing across the room while staring directly at a student. He was too lost in thought.
