Power Training: New semester

by **Eric Osgood** » Wed Oct 15, 2014 10:29 pm

"Was' the matter, mate? Going a little soft in tha middle?"

Eric then took a deep breath, and gave a very unclassy bellow of a laugh.

Winn had a small knife out and was carving crude images into the screen for her training session.

Ryan Gabriel wrote:Ryan peered down at Elise and decided he'd give her a few more minutes to level out before he went down there to her. It was the first class, no need to make a new kid feel like she couldn't work it out herself.

She seemed to be starting to level out just a bit. The issue wasn't so much that she didn't know how to work the wings, it was the fact of concentration.Right now her eyes were closed tight.

This is the song that never enddddddds....yes it goes on and on my friendssssss.....
SHHH!
Some people! Started singing it not knowing what it was! And they'll continue singing it forever just because this is the song that never endddddddds...

It was definitely hampering her concentration.

Still freaking out, Elk-Graham charged in Alex's direction.

(To clarify, he needs stopping.)

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 9:42 am

Steph's eyes widened as she noticed the blur. "Alex! Move! Danger Room, isolate Graham!" Steph charged over, shifting slightly to boost her muscle mass but not so much to induce a panic.

by **Maya Mills** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 11:13 am

Maya panics at the sight of Graham charging and shifts, swiftly swirling around Steph and the elk boy as an anaesthetic cloud.

by **Graham Jaeger** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 11:31 am

The grogginess overcoming Graham aided the DR safeties in gently restraining the rampaging Roosevelt Elk in coils of gentle but firm force. He struggled weakly, nostrils flaring.

by **Blaine Slinger** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 3:25 pm

Blaine, noticing the panic, quickly started slamming some gum and some paperclips together, but wouldn't be nearly on time.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 4:46 pm

Steph caught a deep breath of Maya, and immediately felt woozy. She stumbled, tripped, and fell to her hands and knees, her vision blurring as she crawled forward, trying to get away from the smoke. She forced herself to completely shift to her werewolf form, knowing her ability to heal and fight things off worked a whole lot better while shifted.

"Maya...focus...on...togetherness..." she growled woozily. "It's...okay...."

by **Maya Mills** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 4:48 pm

Maya reforms between the two, looking scared and embarrassed. So, basically just normal Maya.

"I'm sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry," Maya says quickly. "Are you okay?"

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 4:51 pm

Steph tried to stand up but fell flat on her ass so she sat there for a moment focusing on breathing regularly.

"I'm fine," she said as reassuringly as an enormous werewolf can growl.

by **Maya Mills** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 4:57 pm

"Thank God," Maya says. "I was worried you were going to get hurt."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 5:06 pm

"Every bone in my body breaks and rearranges itself every time I shift," she said, sounding a bit less woozy. "Takes a lot to take me down."

She sounded friendly enough, but it's kind of hard to get a real feel for the emotional state of a terrifying half woman half beast. And she was probably still very frightening to a certain restrained elk.

by **Graham Jaeger** » Thu Oct 16, 2014 7:04 pm

Elk-Graham's eyes were wide with primal terror.

"...calm down... calm down..."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 1:00 pm

Ryan, high enough in the air to be out of antler reach, swung around Graham and landed, radiating oddly soothing light. "Easy, there," he said, moving toward he elk with an openness and reassuring lack of jerky movements. At the very least, he was a good buffer between Graham and everyone else.

by **Elise Holdrust** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 1:53 pm

Elise manages to fly back up to the drop off of the cliff before she notices things are happening with the others. Slowly she works on flying over towards the group, but not too close.

"Awww, he's just scared. I read this story one time about scared moose in Canada that like...obliterated a car." She probably wasn't helping the situation, but she seemed to think she was.

by **Graham Jaeger** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 2:22 pm

Intelligence slowly returned to Elk-Graham's eyes as his breathing slowed. He gradually shifted back to his human self.

"Damnit..." he sighed, obviously embarrassed.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 2:26 pm

"Should have just let him go. I don't think he could really gore lead," Alex muttered as he focused on his shoulder. Slowly it was shaping back into place with the sound of popping metal.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 2:57 pm

Stephanie finally pushed herself up to her feet and walked towards Graham, shifting back to human form herself. "Are you okay?"

by **Graham Jaeger** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 3:10 pm

"Yeah... no thanks to my panicky wuss of an Other," he grumbled.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 3:36 pm

"It happens. It's what we're here for," Ryan said reassuringly, giving Steph a quick 'you okay?' Look.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 3:52 pm

Steph nodded at Ryan dismissively but she still looked a bit woozy. "It takes time to get used to your other half." she reassured Graham.

by **Eric Osgood** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 7:31 pm

Eric looked on, bemused by the little shifter crisis for a moment.

by **Graham Jaeger** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 7:42 pm

"How... long did it take you?" he asked.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 10:16 pm

Steph looked like she was thinking carefully about her reply. "Honestly...2 years before we really, really came to understand each other. After a year, it was a lot better...but 2 years for sure."

Liar...you still fight her.

by **Graham Jaeger** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 10:20 am

"I've already had it a year and it feels like it's still scared of everything."

by **Maya Mills** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 12:52 pm

Oh no, that must be so hard, Maya thinks, returning to her training station.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 2:12 pm

"Have you had a chance to speak with the Headmistress about your difficulties? It...can really help having a telepath help you work through things. Especially a telepath who is also a shapeshifter. She really helped me start to actually...communicate with my other half."

by **Graham Jaeger** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 2:44 pm

"I hadn't even thought about it," he answered.

by **Elise Holdrust** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 3:00 pm

Elise listens for a bit, thinking on how hard it would be to be a shifter before making her way back to her station as well.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 3:14 pm

"Let me know if you need help setting something up with her, but I'm sure she'd be thrilled to help you.

by **Graham Jaeger** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 3:35 pm

"Maybe I will. I thought I was over the panic attacks."

by **Barbara Kirby** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 4:19 pm

Barbara grumbled as she went back to punching things.

"Fucking losers and their freak-outs. Go home and cry to mommy."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:26 pm

Seeing that Steph had this well in hand, Ryan started making his rounds again to see if anyone else was having trouble. Or was about to get into a fight, either way.

by **Eric Osgood** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 10:05 pm

Eric finished his adjustments and closed the console.

Taking another few tentative jumps, he got set, and then took off, quickly accelerating to a blurry afterimage.

The smell of burning oil returned, but was not as explicit this time.

After a few laps, he brushed past Alex a little too close, causing a rush of wind to blow into his face. It was accidental, I'm sure.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 10:10 pm

Alex looked around, trying to figure out what had brushed him. What the... Frowning in annoyance, he shifted to adamantium, figuring that at least this time he wouldn't be deforming under the weight.

by **Elise Holdrust** » Sun Oct 19, 2014 1:23 am

Elise looks over the side of the cliff again, beaming a smile.

I can do this.

And so she jumps off the cliff in a swan-like dive, letting her wings catch the wind so she drifts with ease.

Not bad. You should do a flip.

Frankie knew that she couldn't do a flip. But she believed she could prove him wrong, so she tried it. She made the mistake of flipping forward rather than pulling up and flipping backward. As she went forward, she squealed a bit as she started plummeting down towards the pit.

Ready to know what's down there?

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Oct 19, 2014 8:37 am

Haley saw her friend plummeting and rather than letting the Danger Room do its thing, she got nosy and decided to help. She threw out her hand to aim her TK and tried to give her friend a lift.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sun Oct 19, 2014 8:53 am

Ryan, seeing the subject of Haley's attention, stopped in his preparation to dive in himself. He watched, waiting to see how Haley did, and ready to turn on the room safeties if it looked like Elise was about to get hurt.

by **Elise Holdrust** » Sun Oct 19, 2014 11:53 am

Elise is held by Haley's TK and she looks a bit surprised. "Whoaaaaa!" A huge grin gets on her face and waves excitedly at Haley.

"Oh em gee you are so awesome!!!" She calls over to her.
