Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nash had waved merrily goodbye to Melody with the promise of more conversation later, and now was grinning lazily at his newest partner, Radley.

"If you had to pick between the ability to turn to ice or turn to fire, which would it be?"

The other guy looked nervous, and Micah tried to suppress his crankiness at having been paired with a guy. It was fine, he could make a friend or something, he didn't have to be an a**. "I dunno," he said, realizing he'd been asked a question. "It'd be cool to have super speed, I guess. Get more things done like that. How about you?"

"I like the idea of shapeshifting like that chick from the wizard books?" Why was he blanking on the name of the series. "She mostly changed her hair but could like be whatever? That'd be cool."

He pushed up his glasses, adjusted his legs. "Could be convenient to like turn into a bird." He shrugged. "Maybe having killer teeth would be handy, assuming fear shield and stuff stays in tact"

Gabby flopped onto the little pile of pillows across from Fred, a familiar face much to her amusement. She quietly listened to Nash until he finished announcing the topic, and then she made herself comfortable.

"Funny seeing you here," she said with a little grin. "Should be interesting. The topic, I mean. Any ideas?"

Lysander didn't get too long to chat to Sherry and it was a real shame, making him a bit distressed that he'd spent so long sulking on the first round when he could have been getting to know her better.

When the call went out to switch over he extended a hand for a handshake. "I'm very very sorry I didn't get to speak to you more, we should definitely speak more later, perhaps over a duty or a lunch. It's my fault, I'm never very good at finding people in these sort of soirees. I constantly get told I'm much too lazy and this time I'll accept that blame." he gave her a big smile. "Thank you very much for the compliment on my suit, I can only take half credit for it, my personal assistant is an excellent personal shopper too."

Taking his leave, he was more expedient about finding his next partner, though he was a little bit startled to find it was a man rather than a woman. Overcoming his knejerk reaction to assert that he totally wasn't gay in the least he decided to get off on the right foot instead.

"Ohhh superheroes!" he said, looking thoughtful. "I don't know a lot about them honestly. I don't think there are any who ride horses or keep horses. I like horses best. Is Morpheus from sandman a superhero?" he looked thoughtful. "I think if I had powers I'd like powers like that, dream powers! Able to control people's dreams."

Gretel gave the young hunter a glance from head to toes before she replied him, "Nope." She sighed in her heart, thinking if the new person was not as smart as Land and got her eye signal in the wrong way. She quite liked his belt and rhinestone leather cuff, as a female, she enjoyed accessories secretly.

Why the orientation seemed so annoying, she thought, looking at the topic they were asked to discuss. The mist trainee found it stupid to know about new people like that but she didn't see any reason why not doing it.

"If you were a superhero, what sort of powers you would have and why?" Her eyes were on the whiteboard rather than on her partner when she asked the question, in a robot-like manner. Gretel has tried but it's difficult to ask a passive person to take initative.

"Super speed would be handy," Merric said, with a tentative smile, even if Micah was not exactly the most outspoken person in the bunch. "I think it would serve well on missions, especially, you know," He made a fluttering gesture with his hand, "When you're trying to run away from something, or get the better of it."

The question returned to him was considered with perhaps more thought than was truly necessary for a silly subject. Merric said, after a moment, "I think...invisibility, perhaps, or maybe super strength. I've never really been all that physically adept, super strength could help in a place like this as well."

Arland "Land" Essex

His conversation with Gretel finally seemed to have warmed up to the point where they could talk a bit more easily, so of course it would be time to switch things up. He made a mental note of the colors that she rattled off-- or, rather, he asked Tividar to keep them in mind-- and he let himself be shuffled off towards his next partner.

His brows lofted at the young woman he was set in front of, curious as to whether or not that was her every day attire or if she was dressed up for the occasion. He simply stared for a moment before realizing that it was rude to do so, holding out his hand in greeting. "Arland Essex-- Land." A brief gesture was made to his name tag where 'Land' was written and a few leaves and flowers had been drawn around it.

Not wanting to waste any time, he jumped right in to the question they'd been given. "So. What's your comic book story like? What kind of superhero would you be?"
