Tension Rising - Main thread [Fight or Flight]

Gray was wandering around the school, occasionally disappearing for a while. He sighed, the walk not helping his mood at all. He was still irritated, and it showed.


As he turned the corner he saw the graduate that had talked shit on his knives. He scowled a bit and stood off to the side of the hall, folding his arms over his chest. He knew that even though the guy was a graduate, he could probably still take him in a fight. Of course, he was angry enough to believe anything he told himself.

Jon took the phone call in his room. It was nice to catch up, and also interesting to see what his Mum thought of everything. Unlike his friends, she knew about his trip to America, but she was still living back in the UK. He wondered how that was possible for her, seeing as his friends thought she too had moved, but shrugged it off as another mystery. It was more important than that to just catch up with her.


However, he had caught her at an unfortunate moment and she couldn't stay long, so after fifteen minutes they hung up. Jon wondered if Gray was still in the training room; even if he didn't want to fight then he could at least apologise for not turning up. But he couldn't find him there. Eventually, he found him in a corridor somewhere, and decided with a sigh that he would spar with him anyway, mainly because he was curious to hear what the other boy really wanted, and with Sen likely involved, his curiosity was over-powering.


"Hey," he greeted the boy, "Sorry for not turning up; I had a call to take and I tried to tell you but you walked off too quick. You wanna go spar now instead?"


@Alex Phalin
 
Gray looked over when he heard Jon's voice, his eyes narrowing dangerously.


"Yes." he said, turning to head down towards the training room.


"And here I thought you were just being a coward." he said, glancing over his shoulder. At least now he had someone to work his frustrations out with. Irritation had been eating at his mind all day, it would be nice to actually relax at some point today.


@SkyGinge
 
"Well, that's partially it," Jon chuckled a little uneasily, now a little fearful for what Gray was planning, "I mean, I noticed you aren't in the best of moods and, well, we both know you're a far better fighter than me. With everything going on I can't deny that I was a little fearful of being at the receiving end of an angry attack." They reached the training hall. "Well, did you have anything in particular planned?"


@Alex Phalin
 
Mica, not paying any particular attention to his surroundings, accidentally slammed into someone rounding a corner. He shrugged it off, then looked and noticed it was Cyrus, his free-running buddy from yesterday "Oh, good morning to you as well! I'm quite alright. I woke up rather far from the school, but it gave me an excuse to get a new car, so it wasn't all bad. And how are you this morning?" Mica noted the swords on Cyrus' waist, as well as the fact that he was rather well dressed. It was nice to see someone with a similar sense of style to himself.

His smile never faded, but he raised an eyebrow at Mica's words. "You bought a new car? Crappy car, or are you rich?" He had quite a bit of money left from his rich relative, but he wouldn't just go out and buy a car like that. That required confidence that you'd be able to earn back that kind of cash.


"But yes, I'm feeling quite fine, thank you. I was thinking of visiting the training rooms, just in case a certain kid I met yesterday is there. It's so exciting to find kids with a passion for what they do." He noticed Mica's inquisitive glance at his clothes, and gave him a slight nod. "Those of us with a sense of fashion should band together, no?" He said, with a slight chuckle.


@King Of Imagination
 
He grinned, "It's just a 2006 Ford Mustang, nothing fancy. It was only $23,000, so I got a pretty good deal. I've just never owned a Mustang till now, otherwise I would have taken a cab." He continued to smile. "I'm actually off to the training rooms myself, searching for a sparring partner. Perhaps you'd like to have a go? I'd be curious to see how you use those swords of yours." He nodded at the mention of a sense of fashion. "Of course we should stick together. We must teach the people how to properly dress! Now, let's be off." He began walking towards the training halls.

Sen Harper

Sen finished one of her toast before looking over to Hayden. "Oh This is Zach, Zach this is Hayden." She introduced before taking another bit of her toast, savoring the state of possibly her new favorite combination. She looked over to Zach. "Ah I'm not sure if he's coming or not." She muttered. "Do you want to come with though? Were going to practice on the grid, minus the graduates trying to shoot us." She smirked slightly she felt more confident this time around that she would do better.


Sen finished her breakfast relatively quick before spotting what time it was. Thankfully it was still early which meant there would be no one else around the gird. At least that's what she hoped. Though there was the issue of finding a teacher to run the grid. She looked over to Hayden "Hey... do you know any teachers who will let us run the Grid?" She asked since he seemed to know a great deal more about the challenge.


@Godman873
 
Hayden


Hayden gave a slight nod to Zach before taking a few final bites of his breakfast. It was wonderful to eat a completely normal meal for once and he enjoyed every bite of it. After devouring the rest of his meal he looked to Sen who asked about which teacher gave grid access. "Well, there was Miss. Yuun but she quit last year after joining some cult or something." Hayden tried to think about it and he didn't know the teacher that had run the test this year, it seemed to have been an assistant teacher who was helping Dex, though Dex disappeared and was notoriously hard to find outside of the occasional class. "I can't think of any other teacher at the moment. Perhaps one of the ones who us through it this year, the teleporting cheater maybe? You know, the one that completed the course way too easily?" Teleporting on the course was probably the cheapest way through it but there was nothing Hayden could do about it a teacher was still a teacher.

Cyrus grimaced. 23000$? Pretty rich, I'd say. He wasn't familiar with cars though. His passion had lied in academics, not practical areas. Well, minus the swords. He nodded at the man when he talked of sparring. "Aye, I could use some practice. With or without powers?"


He followed when Mica started walking towards the training rooms, and jokingly added "We shall be called the fashion police. FTP will now stand for 'fashion the people'." to his comment. He wore his skinny jeans with pride.


@King Of Imagination
 
Sen Harper

"Teleporter? Oh Nikolas?" She thought aloud before nodding. "Possibly... He doesn't really seem like the type to say no to training..." She mused aloud "Not sure he would appreciate being called a cheater though." She chuckled softly finishing the last of her orange. Then frowned slightly realizing something. "How are we going to find him though? No class so he could basically be anywhere..."


@Godman873
 
Hayden


Hayden stood up with his tray and emptied it into the trashcan. Sen had an excellent point, were could they find the teacher? Perhaps there was a teacher's lounge somewhere? Or maybe there was someone who knew where he was? Maybe he was near the grid? "I don't even have a rough idea on where to find him, maybe we should try looking for a teacher's lounge or something? Maybe he would be there?" Hayden was trying to think of where else a teacher could be but he couldn't think of any other place at the moment, for the first 13 years of his life he actually thought teachers just slept under their desks when they weren't teaching.
 
Sen Harper

Giving the mater some thought herself Sen was stumped. She had never actively searched for a teacher before, most of the time she was avoiding them. She chuckled softly under her breath finding the situation kind of funny. Saturdays were usually her lazy days spend doing not much of anything. Keeping her abilities hidden while pick pocketing what she could. Now she was trying to find a teacher in order to train her powers. "Teachers lounge sounds like a good place to start." She shrugged following Hayden out of the dinning hall.


@Godman873
 
Hayden


Hayden wandered off into and out of buildings looking for a teacher's lounge. He passed by a classroom or two and the training rooms. It had been several minutes now before something dawned on him. "Where is the teacher's lounge? Because I have no idea where it would be. Maybe it is in the admin building?" He still had no idea how he was going to find the teacher. "Maybe we should just ask someone in the admin building." There wasn't much in the way of finding a teacher when you wanted to, it usually seemed like you just found them by accident or you didn't find them at all, then again he usually didn't look for a teacher on the weekends.
 
Sen Harper

"Makes sense. Teachers where I come from usually weren't around on the weekends." She shrugged her shoulders slightly as she made they made their way through towards the Admin building. "Then again where I came from powers were kind of taboo so yeah." She muttered glancing towards the Gym and frowning slightly. "Is ever year this... hecktic?" She questioned since he was around the school before. It was a question that had been bugging her, even after the announcement. With a school devoted only to Metas it would be a target regardless of what was going on in the outside world, wouldn't it?


@Godman873
 
Fox grinned at Zach, "I guess we've been abandoned for training." She said with a small smile, "I suppose you don't mind though." She smiled through a small moment of silence, "Sooo how's the rabbit?" She asked, grasping for a subject.


@Alex Phalin
 
Zach shrugged a bit with a smile.


"I don't mind, so long as I can spend time with you, I don't mind what we do." he said with a grin, his cheeks reddening slightly. He took a bite of the rabbit and grinned.


"It's delicious. I've never tried it before, but I really like it. I don't remember seeing rabbit on the menu, though..."

Hayden


Hayden looked to Sen trying to think of what it was like last year. "Hmm, Well each year has its own problems. First year I was here someone shorted out all the computer systems and the resident technoguy freaked out. Second year there was some snake and paralyzed students or something. Third year had someone fill one of the dorm buildings in water, by mistake of course." Trying to think of anything else major caused Hayden to pause before finally finishing. "And this year the school was attacked. So this is only somewhat worse than the other situations." He laughed to himself remembering the snake in the pipe infestation was some sort of sick prank caused by a now expelled friend of his.
 
Gray was grumbling under his breath, staring at the ground as he walked. He couldn't believe that just because he was using live blades in a duel, it was apparently 'attempted murder'.


He turned the corner and bumped into a much bigger student, stumbling backwards. He looked up at Hayden and blinked. "Uh, sorry about that... I wasn't watching where I was going."


@Godman873 @Shura
 
Fox smiled proudly at him, now even happier that she had caught the rabbit. "Well I caught it myself this morning and asked the cooks to coook it up for me," She said with false modesty as she internally burst with pride, "And you wanna try sparring? I figure it's only a matter of time until they test that and I want to be in top form for it. plus, could be fun!"


@Alex Phalin
 
Zach smiled warmly at her. "You're pretty resourceful... Hell, I can't even cook, much less catch anything." he said with a light laugh, stealing another little piece of rabbit from her plate.


"Sparring? Sure... I mean, you're going to be at a huge advantage. I won't be allowed to use my powers, and I'm afraid I might hurt you. We could still try if you're sure." He grinned a bit. He was itching to spar since he got fully healed, though he really didn't want to hurt her.


@theunderwolf
 
Fox noticed his concern and grabbed his hand reassuringly, "C'mon Zach," She said soothingly, "You don't have to worry about me. Think about it, which one of us has wrestled bears? I think. Unless you have been without telling me in which case awesome. And besides, sparring isn't power practice and I'd never use mine when you can't."


@Alex Phalin
 
Zach's face flushed when she grabbed his hand. He grinned a bit and squeezed her hand lightly.


"Fair enough... Alright, it should be fun." he said with a grin. Finishing off his food he stood and sighed a bit, stretching.


"So... Do you know any martial arts? All I really know is dirty street fighting... If I end up hurting you, I'll patch you up, okay?" Smiling warmly he headed off towards the training room, reaching over to tug her hand lightly.


@theunderwolf
 
Fox grinned remembering long days of training from Silver-back in martial arts."I know a..little. OK a lot. I'm pretty good," She declared with pride as Zach grabbed her hand, which made her blush and giggle,"And watch out, I might hurt you!" She boasted as they walked to the training room. "And then maybe do your wrappings again..." she whispered to herself with a mischievous little cackle.


@Alex Phalin
 
Zach smirked a bit, chuckling. "You'll have to go easy on me..." he said with a little smile. As they walked he lifted his shirt, showing nothing but a scar where his wound was.


"I went back to the clinic and got it taken care of. But hey, if you're as good as you say, you may need to patch me up anyways. We'll see how it goes." he chuckled a bit, picking up a pair of boxing gloves as he walked into the training room. He pulled them on and smiled, flexing his hands a bit.


"Ready when you are."
