Case 01 [action, Quad]

[bratbeyond]

[Slagging new world with its slagging new rules and its slagging assumption that he'd actually attend all of these fragging classes. Damian scowled as he kicked up random flowers in the Quad. He didn't mind the "attending school" part - he was in the sixth grade back home - but really? Just snatching him from Gotham and expecting him to comply with

Must you do that? [Gakupo is not liking you kicking those poor flowers and making the area look messy.]

[eggplantallergy]

[Chuckles softly.] I think you should take a look at it. There's even a Fight Club.

[bratbeyond]

Yeah? [He smiles... Hang on a sec.] ... But I can't fight.

[eggplantallergy]

Then you should definitely go. I hear it's a place to learn a few things, and not just for advanced fighters.

[bratbeyond]

It's worth a shot. But I really, really suck at fighting. [he's a bad liar, but it's the only way he can keep his identities apart] ... Guess military school's not for me.

[eggplantallergy]

[Gakupo senses that this person was really laying it on thick when it came to saying he couldn't fight. Most people would just leave it at that after first mentioning it, but he didn't. Odd.]

How about I give you some pointers when we get to the training center?

[bratbeyond]

It probably wouldn't hurt. [shrugs] ... Or send me to the ER. We do have one, right?

[eggplantallergy]

[Right, the ER.]

We do. I went there not too long ago. [Looks around and points in the distance.] That building there is the training center. [Contemplative look.] Does some hand-to-hand practice work for you?

[bratbeyond]

[nods] Should be fine. ... Thanks for the offer, I guess.

[eggplantallergy]

Come now. You look as if you're walking to the electric chair. [Chuckles with a shake of his head, amused.] We all have an inherent nature to fight, you know, but it takes true strength to not succumb to it.

(ooc: shall we just arrive to the training center soon? >.> Walking is boring~!)

[bratbeyond]

[ooc; Works for me. ♥ Sorry for slow: I went out of town.]

[Damian's still making faces, but... this other guy's got a point. If only he knew about Damian's nightlife. They get to the training center, and alas... twoGlacial Eyes are the welcoming committee.

Instinctively, Damian assumes a fighting stance before immediately flailing. Right. He can't fight.]

[eggplantallergy]

(ooc: no worries! hope you had a good time!)

[Gakupo caught that very quick fighting stance before turning back to the monsters.]

Me without my sword. [Sighs.] Good thing I'm junctioning... [Tries to think quickly before trying out a spell they drew out, but haven't practiced yet. He felt that odd sensation through his body, the usual when using magic he notices, and tosses out Blind to the two monsters. It affects them, luckily. Grabs onto Damian's arm and runs, hopefully getting a bit of time to get to a safe place before the monsters recover.]

I don't think you know how to use the magic here yet.

[bratbeyond]

We can use magic here? [For once, Damian'd been completely dumbfounded - he wasn't used to metahumans, especially ones who could cast spells - by Gakupo. He stares again at those monsters, then thinking...]

... No, I just got here. But could we use something hot? If these things're weak to fire, surely there's some matches we could use. [he shrugs] Pokemon taught me that much.

[eggplantallergy]

...please read your pamphlet. [SIGH.]

I know two fire spells. [Looks to Damian with a smirk.] Nice fighting stance back there.

[bratbeyond]

[embarrassed look] Yeahhh... I'll get to that as soon as I can.

... [Crap. He noticed. Poor Damian looks like a deer in headlights.] Wait, what? I... uh. That was actually decent?

[eggplantallergy]

Thank you.

[Kind of hard not to see it. Smiles softly.] More than decent. You shifted quite quickly and subconsciously into it. [Crosses his arms.] I just wonder why you're trying to hide your abilities.
