[Anyone in the lobby area might find themselves startled by a sound like that of a gunshot splitting the air.

The cause, oddly enough, is Akiela. She stands on top of the flattened remains of a Grat, who tried to smack her with its feelers and paid the price when she dodged by jumping into the air before, ultimately, coming back down on top of it's ( Read more... )

Bring it on!

[So echoes the challenge issued by the cocky Instructor standing outside the dormitory, fists balled and a grin on his face as he stands guard over the door. Come close enough or catch his attention and he has this to say:]I'll hold down the fort here. Anyone who needs shelter or safety can camp out in the rooms. Anyone who's hurt, ( Read more... )

[Nina's mission had been a success, but that was to be expected. She was nothing if not studious. She was honestly enjoying the winter break and downtime because it gave her time to work on her own studies a bit. That and make a syllabus for her courses.

[Courtney had been busying herself in the Training Center, having settled herself in the moment she'd had the chance. She had forgotten that, despite the fact that her body had changed again, it hadn't reversed -- while she looked human enough, there were still plenty of things left over from her Pikachu form.

[The entire incident at Vienne mountains had forced Ryu's hand on his originally best kept secret.  He wasn't sure how the Garden staff would react to him, but seeing as they hadn't busted down the door to his dorm looking for him, he thought he was in the clear.  Still, he made it a point to avoid most of the staff as much as he could.  He was ( Read more... )

[Once glance at the latest arrival, and someone might strongly suspect that he was drunk. Trudging slowly through the halls, he sways and staggers, rubbing at bleary eyes and tripping over his own heavy feet. He doesn't look ill, not at all, simply exhausted ( Read more... )

[ It's been so long since she first arrived here. Colette, once again, wonders how everyone reacted to her disappearance, the very night before her Journey of Regeneration was due to end. Would everyone be mad? Would they think she had run away ( Read more... )
