Z laughed. "Apparently so, roomie!" He said cordially as he walked in, deciding on his nickname for Mike. He looked around the training room to see if there was anyone else in there, perhaps an electric specialist?

Anatoly backed off from the training dummy and bowed at it. It resembled a pincushion. He shuffled sideways and approached another training dummy, allowing Ice to recharge as he planned his course of action.
"Hey, guys. Good work on the mission. Sorry about my flipout at the end."

Z turned back to Anatoly, surprised that he was being so good as to apologize. "It's cool. It was fun until then." He said, genuinely excited for the next mission.

Mike laughed when Z called him roomie figuring that it was better than he could have hoped if Z had still been annoyed with him. "Hey, I would have been just as mad" he said to Anatoly. "I just wouldn't have been able to fight him like that. I would have been crushed a lot quicker." Bored with simply maintaining the prism he moved it around in circles over his hand, going three circles to the right and then three circles to the left. This felt more straining that simply maintaining it, but it wasn't that much harder. It was enough to keep him preoccupied though so he felt it was a little better.

Anatoly shook his head at Mike. "Thanks, but what I did... that's why you always have to be careful not to lose control. The stickers... I'm not sure what they are. But they influence you without you realizing it. You don't stop when you know, on some level, that you should. It's like they can turn off your conscience and your self-control."

Z thought for a moment of the implications of this. "Maybe you shouldn't use two then?" He suggested, although he felt a bit stupid after saying it.

"So they do have a conscious then?" he said staring at his prism again. He tried to sense the pulse he had the first time he used it, when he felt like it had a heartbeat of some kind. "I thought something seemed strange about this thing when I first started using it. It kind of pulsed on its own like it was a heartbeat or something. It almost seemed natural, but I didn't know what it was and so I've been working to stop that so I could maintain it easier. So am I right, or is what I'm saying just my old sentimental nonsense? I kind of have a bad habit of giving humanistic characteristics and personalities to my favorite possessions."

Anatoly laughed and displayed his arms. "I'm not. I've never felt them influence me when I wasn't against another person though."
He sighed and got ready for an attack run on the dummy. "It makes me wonder though. What the hell are Mystickers, if they can affect how you think?"
He shot forward into a series of Muay Thai strikes, elbows and knees. As each strike came away, a small spike was buried in the dummy. He ended with an elbow strike that impaled the dummy's skull and bent its thin metal stand backward.

Z raised an eyebrow at Anatoly's display. "Aren't you being a bit dramatic?" He asked looking at the remains of the dummy. "They can't have an unlimited supply of these things." He said trying to be fiscally responsible for once.

"Well, until the lack of training dummies becomes an issue, I think I'll just continue like this," Anatoly replied with a grin, which shortly melted into a frown. "And I'm not being dramatic. There's a probably-prepubescent little girl in the infirmary from last challenge day when an Ice 1 slowly worked itself in throughout an overly long fight."

Mike disliking being ignored started sulking and tried to sense Ice 1's personality not sure what he was even looking for exactly. He wondered what type of personality it would even have. He started thinking of characteristics he'd associate with ice, calm, cool, collected, cold, strong, stable, stubborn, calculating, possibly even cruel all popped to mind so he tried to sense for those in particular.

Just what are you, you little b*****d? Anatoly thought half to himself as he began another attack series.

((Yeah he did, I must have missed that. That sucks though, he's always the one who answers my character's inner thoughts. It's the easiest way for me to learn more about just how much I'm able to do. Oh well, I'm sure he'll have some type of response once he does come back on. In the mean time I'm not sure what I'll do for posting.))
