Callie shrugged. "I've just been reading." She seemed uncertain about his response, about the whole situation, but began walking away with him, off the battle field, feeling as awkward as he likely did. The small girl still felt fiery, trying to calm and cool herself as they walked.
---
After the situation was handled, and the training session cut short, Bray was heading to the Gifter's office in the main building with Zo. It seemed Kylie and some of the others would be more accepting of the battle training now- at least, as much as they had to be- so things should go better from then on. But there was still the matter of actually discussing why they were not taught anything in the time they were held since their trial. Usually there was a start to their training...this was beyond abnormal.

Maze flashed another grin. "Oh, we'll see about that." The woman winked at the Shadower. "Maybe when you prove your a big girl," she offered her. "I mean, you practically are. You're just not doing what the other big girls are." Mazikeen shrugged, throwing a bite into her mouth with her fork as she cocked her head in interest; this could be a fun investment of her time...

(Haha you mean in or out of rp? Cuz weird stuff w/ both hehe. In rp, it has been revealed that Kylie, Ava, and Aris- and anyone who has a new Keeper that wants to be included- have no training. Kylie didn't understand why Mick was pinning her to the ground, and you can figure out what happened from there X3)

(Ah. I see. Politics. I of course hold very unpopular views so I will not comment too personally aside from saying that his words do seem to hold quite evil and otherwise uncalled for intentions. Though you must also know that not everyone who voted for that man is evil. Many who were already evil just feel that they have some grandeur right to show their evilness when none of the laws have changed to allow for it, nor will it ever be allowed. Human principles are still human principles and every person is expected to live by them. Don't worry. Some day, aliens are gonna try to take over and the world we will all be forced to work together in order to keep our planet from being blown up.)

(Anyways...rp? We can do Ava, Kylie and Aris? And anyone else that wants to jump in?)
Kylie looked over at Ava, confused. So now, not only were they being required to fight- an absurd request- but they were being singled out as the 'others' among the Keepers. Oh, great. This just really couldn't get better. Mick probably hated her now- heck, rightfully so, since she kind of called him out when that was totally not on him- but what exactly was she supposed to do about any of this?

(Meh. Everything is political as of late if it involves the words mexico, bombs, children, and trump, so I assumed it was. My bad. Yeah he sounds just a tad unhinged.)
(And actually... I think I'd be the one sitting on top of a mountain with a confused look on my face thinking, "Maybe we should let them blow up the earth???? Like that sounds kinda cool. Exploding planet. No more humans. Doing the universe a favor."
Edit: Yea I can rp. Let me read back a few posts just to get the small details.) (Oh and I finished Ikaros, so I'll be posting him on the joining page in a bit)

Ava was standing silently, her expression unreadable as she thought. She shook her head after a moment and looked at Kylie, starting a little as she realized the other girl was looking at her. "Sorry- Um... Are you okay?" she asked cautiously about the situation, honestly just as confused. She had been about ready to kick Mick in the face when she saw that he had pinned Kylie down, but was now glad she hadn't as it was becoming obvious there was something they had all missed out on.
(If the color makes this undecipherable, I will fix it. Just testing stuff kinda)
(Yes earth is nice but humans are making it ick. The fact that Earth can thrive without humans, but falls apart when a fly goes extinct makes me sad and upset at humans.)

Kylie was quick to let out, "No." Upon realizing what she said, she shook her head. "I mean, yes, but no. Sure, that was all a misunderstanding. But no, we're here being forced to fight. How is that ok? I mean...yeah, we have a roof over our heads, good food, warm beds, friends...but there's more to life than that. What about freedom? That's a pretty important part of...yeah know, being," she let out, sighing as she stood next to the girl.

"That...went well.." Zo commented, finding the silence awkward as they walked back into the main building. "I'm sorry if I messed things up for the lesson.. They mostly just learned that I'm a clumsy fool." she looked down at her feet shyly as she talked and almost tripped over them.

Bray snorted. "What are you talking about? What clumsiness? You're being ridiculous," he let out to Zo in a frustrated sigh. "We have more pressing matters at the moment than your lack of confidence. What exactly is Alkaline thinking? Hmm? Planning?" It was obvious he seemed angry as they reached the main building. Certainly the Gifter would see that and would...well, she wouldn't be happy about it. He wasn't thinking objectively, that was for sure.

(He's angry because the new Keepers always have a little bit of basic training before coming to the school- they should. They had to fight to prove themselves at their trial. But now there are a few students that don't have anything, not even the most basic. He knows Alkaline and knows it's her doing, knows she's up to or planning something.)

Zo flinched as Bray snapped at her. "S-sorry. Why would she let Keepers in who haven't been trained yet?" she asked him quietly

{I'm backkkk heh. I went to eat dinner really quick.}
Mick gave her a pressed smile, feeling a flood of relief wash over him as they exited the battle field. When they reached a corner of the building, he led the way around it and pressed his back against the wall. Although he was glad to have left before he'd created an even bigger mess, he still felt guilty for trying to ensure that this was all okay to the new keepers. The truth behind his words was that none of this was okay, nor did he believe that there was a real reason to protecting each of the Gifted other than paranoia. He sighed and looked over toward Callie, hoping to find some kind of reassurance in her gaze.
He sat in silence for a few moments before opening his mouth to speak, but closed it back up before anything escaped his lips. His blank stare was followed then by a mischievous grin, much so like a few days ago when he'd brought her to his dorm room. "So.. are you still mad about my cat or can we talk for a bit in my dorm?" He inquired.

(Lol no worries.
Hey North, awesome!)
Bray muttered as he leaned against a wall to catch his breath, "Why the heck would she let in a guy like Rowan? Someone who doesn't seem all that interested in protecting the Gifted? Who knows what is going through her mind...how about we go ask her?" he remarked as he pushed off against the wall. Of course, Alkaline likely wouldn't answer, and may even throw a tantrum for them questioning her. She was known to do that. Go battle mode. But only one way to find out...
---
Callie held her continued, usual blank expression. "I'm still mad about the cat," was her only response. She was silent for a moment before she continued, "I just saw fighting...you know, not battle fighting, not the okay kind...Had to come make sure everything was okay. I know how crazy Keepers are," she teased lightly, trying to be friendly.

Zo grabbed Brays' arm to stop him from storming Alkalines' office. "Are you sure that's a good idea?" she asked, "She's not going to take it lightly,"

Mick rolled his eyes in amusement, trying to hold down the small smile that tugged at his lips. "That's sweet how you were so worried about me," he poked lightly. "I didn't know you were so intrigued by what the keepers were up to." His expression held a teasing twist to its added curiosity. In a mock tone, Mick put a hand up to his mouth and batted his eyes. "Do you have a crush on me, Miss Callie?" he asked in a sweet, innocent tone.
{ugh sorry this is short, I'm trying to catch up on all my rp's whoops heh}

Yuri pulled the edge of her beach dress away as Sin sat next to her so that it won't be soaked in water. She smiled to herself and leaned backwards to placed her hat on her lap and look out onto the pool. "Oh," She answered evenly, "I see." She didn't know how other elementals felt away from their element, like water or fire, only did she know how off she herself felt in darkness. It was like a void of evil. "What does it feel like? Swimming?" She asked, knowing the Hydro might go onto some long lecture on how swimming is 'amazing'.
--
Ayla snorted and rolled her eyes playfully, Look! I think that's the lake! She gestured excitedly before gesturing towards a rock, hah Ahe stuck her tongue out but pointed her nose to the approaching lake, there's the real lake.
--
Namika tapped her foot on the ground, she watched as everything around her unfolded. She placed her hands behind her head, confused. The Keeper looked around for Ava and Kylie, wondering what happened to the two.
((Where should Namika jump in?))

(Sorry I fell asleep last night.
You're fine, Lost. You're supposed to be enjoying vacation lol. What kind of vaca was it, the beach?
I'm planning another Disney vaca, I think. Depending on how work goes when I actually start. I've got to get a good feel for the kind of paychecks Imma be getting)
Sin smiled. "You could find out, you know," he offered to her, reaching to hold her hand. "You're safe," he mentioned, getting the distinct feeling that she wasn't all that comfortable around the water. "I can show you. We'll stay in the shallow end; it's only, like, three and a half feet deep. Besides, aren't many pools in the human world that are this crystal clear. Unless you're rich, of course," he added with a laugh.
---
Callie let out a brief snort. "No, I'm trying to act like a Guardian. Heavens knows I haven't done it so far. I completely avoided you at school last year, and let the Council treat you ill. I've been a real witch," she admitted with a sigh. "And I know I'll never be able to make up for abandoning you after...well, after you learned of the Gifted. But...I don't know," she finally let out, and yet she was trying to get closer to him, she was still physically pulling away.
---
Bray sighed again. "I don't know. I just don't like being left in the dark. Especially not by Alkaline. She's really been one of my only friends, since the beginning. I was one of her very first appointed Keepers when she became the Gifter. A young boy. But, she looked after me," he explained. "I thought we could trust each other, and her not sharing something like who she plans to bring to the school, and why? That's kind of a lapse of trust." He didn't yank away from Zo, though, and she still had a gentle hold on his arm. He combed his fingers through his messy hair.

Zo kept a gentle hold on his arm and looked up at Bray. "How about, you give yourself some time to calm down and then go talk to her," she suggested, "you'll be much less likely to yell at her and shell be less upset at the confrontation. Maybe you both would be more willing to talk,"

Star stretched out her arms as she let out a content sigh. Finally, her unpacking had been completed. Excitement of the starting school year bubbled within her. She wouldnt have to deal with the constant nagging of her mother, or the crazy antics of her father- she would be able train and play with powers without any hesitation. She let out a giggle, "no holding back." She said softly to herself before jumping up onto her feet, "no holding back!" She nearly shouted before whirling around towards the door. A sudden burst of power streaming through her as she decided to go practice her powers. She eagerly left her room, the door slamming behind her as she eagerly hurried down the hall. Her long blonde hair cascading down her back and flouncing around as she walked but also occasionally started to jog only to walk again. She glanced down at her outfit, partly wondering if she should have changed out of her navy blue dress, teal and white stripped tights and black combat boots. The thought was oresent only for a second, star looked fantastic, she knew that, so why even question. She looked up again, excitement sparking in her blue green eyes.

(Sorry about poofing. I had forgotten I had homework to do and then I forgot to respond.)
Ava could only nod at Kylie's words. Freedom was something innate that every living thing felt was their birthright. When that freedom was taken away, there was an almost 100% guarantee that the individual whose freedom had been taken would put up a fight to try to reclaim that birthright. She shoved her hands into her sweater pockets, looking around the area. Maybe there was a way off the island other than how they had gotten there... but from what she'd seen of the island and those on it, she highly doubted there was, so she instead gave Kylie a nudge with her shoulder. "Maybe we should try to find somewhere for you to rest," she offered.
