Bloop, I did the thing

The Uncanny X-Men: The Next Evolution

Llavi De La Rosa

Llavi donned the jacket of his X-Men training gear, the tight yet flexible and deceptively sturdy material fitted to his form. A quick stretch and shake completed his ritual of getting into gear before he made his way with the remaining students into the Danger Room. The cavernous display of human marvel and innovation--or more accurately and importantly, mutant marvel and innovation-- never ceased to catch a tinge of Llavi's breath on first glance. His imagination would have never led him to such reaches, and he appreciated the technological beauty for all it was.

Hell, he loved everything about the Danger Room. The complete exertion of mind and body, the progression and finesse it helped develop. It was truly a wonderful experience.

Except for the team pairings.

Llavi held a slight clench to his jaw during any pairing. This is where it got awkward a lot of the time. For the most part, he didn't care who he was paired with, so long as they performed well. But Llavi hadn't had the pleasure (or displeasure) of working with either before. He knew of Luke's strategic strengths so wasn't overly displeased. However, it was like they were one night lovers on the morning after, the three of standing at an arm's length with cut eyes. Llavi rolled his eyes and took a few quick steps toward Luke, closing the gap until he was rather close.

"I can assure you, I do not smell bad," Llavi told him as they entered their simulation room.

He looked over at Darren, raising an eyebrow at the fellow. He hadn't necessarily interacted with the male much since his initial impression of him. That and a rumor of Llavi somehow being the reason the boy had stuck himself to a wall had turned Llavi off to him for the most part. "And I will try not to stick you to anything, yeah?"

As the room changed around him, Llavi addressed Luke again. "I have ideas, but I think maybe you should hold the reigns. You've been here and trained for a few years more. If you can devise a way to take his attention from where he is stepping and get him close, I can come in." As he spoke, he concentrated briefly activating his ability. The warmth in his stomach grew as his powers began to spread through his system.

"And 'first things first,' my Ichor will do more than slow him down. I plan to to halt him."

"Try not to get too grossed out," he warned. He knew he would have to put in a sizable amount of effort, thank Oya for the breakfast. Best to get it flowing now. His hands jutted out, the now present feeling of flowing blood was met with the presence of a heavier substance now flowing through his veins to his Hot Spots. Other recruits typically wore gloves but not Llavi due to the nature of his powers. His vision darkened as the Ichor, Oya's Blood, welled from his right eye and down his cheek. His hands darkened as he pooled the Ihcor and built it up inside of him.

I'm aware I haven't posted. I don't think the IC needs another "The alarm goes off and I respond to it in a way that puts across the bare-bone basics of my character's personality. I get dressed in an outfit that represents me through colour and style, and then I go and eat, exchanging banal small-talk with other characters while waiting for the first GM post that will give us an objective" post. So I was making sure I was correctly up to speed, and planning my first IC post accordingly.

@Roman

Mmmm I love it when Roman throws shade. It's like foreplay for me

Llavi De La Rosa

Llavi scarfed down the last of his pancakes, enjoying the chatter around him. There was life in these halls, and--if Professor Frost was right-- it was something he could learn to connect with. There's was a calming effect to being surrounded by others like him, even if they didn't all intersect harmoniously. The excited energy, hopeful spirits. It had been too long since he had been in a place filled with life.

He mulled over his time here. Originally, he'd been focused solely on not killing himself. But it didn't take long, after he learned to exercise and taper the flow of his Ichor, for him to treat the source of the stuff as another reflex, a muscle to be honed and refined. But there was something to this --this life of an X-Men. Past just learning to control his abilities, he could use them to promote peace and equality. And maybe--if he was honest--help his home village one day. It was a peaceful pipe dream as he watched the pancaked fiasco unfold around him with a lazed eye.

Before he knew it, Llavi was cleaning off his plate and finally letting the excitement of the new semester bubble in him. The Danger Room was coming up and it would be a treat to see just what the instructors would cook up for them all this time around. Llavi exited the dining hall, mind on the upcoming semester. It was with a calm and purposeful gait that he headed to the Danger Room.

"Hey Yavi," Llavi was caught off guard by the sound of his name, by someone who sounded like a student. And even better yet, the correct pronunciation. He was surprised to see William Iriving before him.

"Ah William!" Llavi responded with a smile. Though he didn't know him that well, Llavi respected well...the respect that William had for everyone around him. The control, the constant flow of restraint. Llavi wasn't so sure he could exhibit the same depth of resolve.

"How's it going? Looking forward to the Danger Room session?"

Llavi was surprised at the small chuckle that left him as he continued to walk. He followed it up with a soft shrug. "Like a fish who knows he is about to bite a hook. It shines with its metallic allure, but soon I know I'll be dragged in a world where every breath shall be a challenge." He let his voice trail off before giving another wide grin, "So yes, very much so. You?"

Hi loves: STEIN DISCLAIMER-- Just in the essence of being honest, there may be a time in the duration of this RP where I type "Emma Stone" for "Frost". It is an accident, I swear it is! It's something I can't help, especially if I don't give my post a thorough once over. Ever since Stone became a thing, I've done it in typing or speech. It's just a thing I can't help cuz they low key seem so interchangeable

So, when you see it, because you will see it inevitably happen, don't throw too much shade at me.

That's all.

This has been a Stein Announcement.

Just to keep it nice and fresh in everyone's mind. Wraith, I don't know if you have, but could you edit it into the OP or the second post? I imagine we'll make new teams for other Danger Room sessions, but still it might be nice to have.

@Hillan

These pairings tho
