Color me interested. I'm in.
James forced himself to calm down. He got where Robert had been coming from, though he seriously disagreed with the method. He was about to say something, when he heard Astrid starting to freak out about something. He looked over to see her hurling lighting again and again at a Lucian. Or at least, she was trying to. The lightning kept fizzling out just before it hit Lucian. James was about to comment on how this was probably one of the scariest things he had ever seen, when he saw her shirt catch fire. As the whole scene of Astrid's panic played out, James just sort of watched in indecision. He wasn't really sure WHAT he should do in this situation. It only got weirder when Astrid's shirt came off, and he considered for a moment just teleporting away until this was over.
As Astrid walked off in absolute fury, James considered following to make sure she was OK. He quickly decided that was a bad idea when he worked out she might just fry him if he did that. "OK then," he exclaimed. "I'm just going to pretend THAT didn't happen, and move on." Turning to Robert, he added, "If you don't mind, send the next orb off a bit slower. I want to try something."
I'll be posted pretty soon. I'm working on stuff for a game I'm running.
@KillBox@Ace of flames01Handled it. Also congrats, Killbox. You got James out of his shell.....sort of.
While the group was driving to the field, James thought about things. Notably, about Lucian's last comment. Sure, if he couldn't, he couldn't. But the more he thought about it, the more James wasn't sure just what he was capable of. After all, he had once accidentally teleported halfway across a state to the beach AS A CHILD. Maybe it was time to really try something crazy. He was training to be an X-Man after all.
James got a good look at the field. It was pretty open, went on for a while, and had no one in sight. The perfect place to practice his distance. He was about to listen in on Lucian's talk about physics, when Robert got his attention. As Robert readied the orb, James raised an eyebrow. "Uh, I can't teleport other stuff, just myself." But it was too late. The orb was already off. James followed its trajectory, and panicked for a moment. It was headed right towards Lucian and Astrid. For a few moments, James tried to get the water to move. And for a split second, he thought he felt something. Whatever it was though, it wouldn't happen nearly fast enough. Time for plan B.
James focused right in front of the orb, and teleported into its path. As the cold water splashed all over him, he quickly became aware of Astrid crackling with electricity. The only thought James could bring himself to think at that moment amounted to "backbackbackbackBACKBACKBACK" And suddenly James felt his power throw him back. By about half a mile. James took a moment to get his bearings. He could feel the hair on the back of his neck standing up,and he was soaking wet, but he was alive. As James put together what had just happened, he was suddenly furious. Looking over to make sure it was clear, he teleported back over to the group, a bit of a distance away from Astrid. "Are you out of your FUCKING MIND?!" he yelled, as his anger overcame his social anxiety. "Why are you throwing around water, while Astrid is using electricity!? You could have killed someone!"
@KillBox@Ace of flames01 So, I looked at Killbox's post, and my first thought was "James can't do that." My second thought was ".......but what if he could?" Either way, its not happening this time, but if everyone is ok with it, that gives me ideas for later on.

Interacting:Robert @KillBox, Astrid @Wintergrey, Lucian @LokiLeo789
As everyone started to gather round, James took stock of the group. First up was Lucian, who seemed to be pretty cool. He didn't seem to take much seriously, but he could use some of that right now. This basement was starting to feel so edgy that he was worried he might cut himself on something. Seriously, how many people showed up late?! Then there was Robert, who also appeared to be pretty grounded. But perhaps he was a bit too grounded. This wasn't going to be fun and games, after all. And lastly, there was Astrid. While James had thought she was cute for a few moments, that adjective rapidly turned to "terrifying" when she freaked out at Lucian for......some reason. Odd. She seemed just fine a few moments ago.
James turned to Robert. "I mean..... I could try," he managed. "But I've never teleported with this many people at once, before. Or with anyone, for that matter. And I guess......we could be Team Hurricane. We have water, lightning, air, and.........I'll shut up now." James sunk into his chair, and resisted to the urge to teleport as far away as possible. Of all the things he had to deal with today, why was it people?
@Ace of flames01@LokiLeo789*climbs out of hole* SORRY! I was waiting for other people in our group to post. Then they did. Then I was busy........I'M WORKING ON A POST RIGHT NOW!!!
