Sechs - [Action/Voice]

[onebluebamf]

[Kurt is hanging out at the Battle Dome today. One nice thing about not having Wolverine around is that the programs he gets to pick aren't too hard and he gets to pick his own pace. But practice is still important, right? Besides, he gets to practice using the handy saber he picked up at the weapon shop. Sure, maybe it isn't practical to his

[Hm.

A simulator, right? Nina needed to come observe it and see what was on the up and up after spying this building in the distance while picking up supplies. That said, it's also her first time here. A twenty-something year old here is looking over the controls probably in the room Kurt's been using (maybe when he was going for a snack break) for a simulation set-up with an appraising set of eyes.

You've probably never seen her before, Kurt. She doesn't look particularly confused or anything, but she also doesn't dare touch things yet. Do you try to help her out?]

[onebluebamf]

[And abandon a girl in need? Never. Kurt gets up from where he is and approaches her from behind.]

Hey! Need any help?

[compos_mentis]

[Not that she didn't notice him beforehand, but it's not until he speaks that she turns. She arches one eyebrow and-]

Actually, I'll take a suggestion for a sim.

[She might not know the control specifics, but she'd not about to say that either. She can figure something this simple out]

[onebluebamf]

[Well, he starts going through what's available. The screen above them changes to show examples of different scenarios.]

It depends on what you want, yeah? You could fight ninjas, or monsters, aliens, or whatever. You can find almost anything in here.

[compos_mentis]

[She scans that list as it goes down, no, no, no - maybe. Hm. Ninja she's never heard of but monsters and aliens are old news for her. She would throw out a specific but a kid like this; paint her curious]

You have a preferred enemy?

[onebluebamf]

[His saber is still leaning against the seat he was sitting at not too long ago.]

Well, not really. People with swords, kind of? [But he treats it more as a fully interactive video game than actual training.]

[compos_mentis]

[...Hm. She considers this she looks at how he's handling that panel.

Something feels off about his movements. She can't quite put her finger on what but the body language seems slightly abnormal for a human. Could just be paranoia talking though, or deja vu. She gets both a lot. For now, she dismisses it. Might as well focus on the task at hand.]

A swordsman, huh? [A little mirth enters her voice. That's a dead dying breed where she's from. Ignore the fact she's got at least three knifes hidden in parts of her clothes right now and a dagger on her belt.]

[onebluebamf]

Well, it's a hobby, yeah? [Not entirely a serious choice of weaponry, yet. He prefers to use less lethal means for a real fight. Since she hasn't picked anything yet, he turns away from the console.]

Do you fight with anything?

[compos_mentis]

I'm a stickler for classics.

[Hm. Choices... well, let's see if the kid reacts. She pulls the dagger off her belt. It'll look roughly like it's made of onyx, but then, as a vein pops in her head it's going to elongate and balance out and such. Give her the better part of a minute (that long? It's bugging her her T5 is probably reduced to T2 here) and it's a one-bladed sword.]

Tell you what; they got a gian invasion listed in there? Been a while since I killed some lizards. [And, ignoring that she asked him, she'll check the list herself.]

[onebluebamf]

[She does get a startled look at that. But not as much as she'd get from your average teenager. What she's doing is pretty comparable to things he's seen Magneto and Forge do.]

Uhh... maybe? I've never went looking for any giant lizards.

[compos_mentis]

[...Oh wait, search option. "Second Great Gian Crusade" And. Oh they have it; score. Nina grows a wicked grin indeed as she thinks back to what scattered memories she has of that time]

Want to see 'em?

[She doesn't even look back at Kurt when she says this though, naturally, she is observing him out of the corner of her eye]

[onebluebamf]

[... well, the simulators have safety features. And he can teleport outside the chamber if he has to, so what's the harm?]

Sure! How big are we talking about here?

[compos_mentis]

[...Hm. Let's see, other settings. The gravity is obvious in comparison to the gravity of this mudball, right? Offhand she'd say... twice this. Okay, adjusting that.

...Hm. She taps her fingers on the console some more here. As she runs through more things on her she says, thinking out loud as she scrolls through attempting to modify the species of which battle they'll be in...]

About two meters tall, usually... sometimes less if they aren't well bred.

[onebluebamf]

[That heavy gravity thing is gonna definitely throw him off when they get inside.]

Oh. So... human sized. [That's reassuring.]

[compos_mentis]

About that. [Humans tend to think they're bigger though; comes wit the muscles and claws and scales. ...And their penchant for slug-based kinetic weapons. Really, that was a fun war; neither size using lasers or plasma all that much.] Usually a little more heavyset.

[...Hm. Okay, let's set their side as almost eliminated and... A single squad of gian. This is just an experiment, after all]

[onebluebamf]

[Great. So she going to be fighting a squad of Blob-sized enemies. This is so not what he showed up for.]

Ah, right. Big and burly. Great.
