XXXIt really was exciting. Both the energy that Nova gave off, as well as the concept of actually making a friend at Beacon ... Especially one with such an adorable companion. It really was two for one, and there was no way Maria could lose. Maria's sweet smile stayed curled on her lips as she listened to Nova, nodding ever so slightly in acknowledgment to her leaving Noah in her care for the duration of the class. ... Or rather, was it leaving Maria in Noah's care? It was a bit hard to tell now, but nonetheless; she was excited. Her head would tilt in the faintest curiosity of the words Nova expressed. ... Had Noah said he wanted to stay? Was it just her amusing the bark, or did she actually understand the pup? Maybe... It was just some sort of faunus thing. It was always possible. ... Her confusion only grew though at the risk of a poof. Maria was very open-minded, but the idea of the puppy poofing or exploding was kind of distressing... After all, she had no idea what it meant. Her delicate hands would gently wrap around Noah, giving him an ever so gentle embrace to both comfort and be comforted as the lesson started.
The student that was called forward to begin shooting most definitely put on an impressive display. Both in performance, as well as the actual display of skill. Weapons had always held a special place in Maria's heart, and it took her forever to settle on a type of weapon she could dedicate herself to. ... Thinking back, she remembered distinctively the times that she would actually snatch away her fellow teammate's weapons to try and practice on her own. It really was impossible to tie her down to something of the norm. Well, that was until she had to be tied down to this damn chair. Now... Her weapon was Prism, who held a variety of secrets here and there. In all honesty, if she had a pair of functioning arms on her own, she'd certainly deck Prism out more than it already was. Alas... No vision she had in mind could be done by the hands of another, and so... She would simply have to settle with what she drafted in its first round of upgrades. It was fine, Prism was more than a capable weapon and covered a few different grounds to keep her satisfied. ... Though, she did hope that one day she could rig it up with an upgrade for more long-range projectiles. Sighing softly to herself, such a feat seemed so far out of her grasp ... Maybe she could try possessing the tools...
The lesson held a much deeper purpose behind it though. She did think it was off that the lights had shut off, but apparently there was significance behind it. She wasn't actively enrolled during the attack that the bandits did on the school, but was made aware of the loses... It was part of why she felt inclined to re-enroll. If she could make the slightest difference for whatever challenges they faced in the future, it would've been worthwhile ... Especially since her life seemed to hold less value, being able to perform less than average. Now wasn't the time for such negative thoughts though, for she would've applauded the skill that Eira displayed if it was not for the lesson. Now that the lesson had broken up and people went to their own groups, she noticed that her own team members seemed to be ... Off doing something. She... Actually wasn't even sure where Crimson or Conrad was, but perhaps Arthas would join her. In the meantime though, she wanted to test Prism out some. With the faintest head motion, Prism complied and began moving her
towards the more open melee arena.
"What's the plan, Miss Maria? Remote control, or will you take the direct initiative." To those who didn't know the exact functionality of the duo, it would probably just sound like confusion. What was being controlled? How could she take initiative in her hindered condition? ... Well, it was simple really, but not without a display. Shifting her hands from Noah, she would make a series of simple gestures. 'Remote. I need to work on my hands. Please move my arms to the rests?' Complying with her request, Prism would carefully lift Maria's arms to place on the armrests that were on her chair. This gave a more clear example of how weak Maria actually was, especially on an empty stomach. Smiling down at Noah, she would motion more for Prism. "Watch, Noah." The robot chimed in as Maria placed her middle and index finger down on her right hand, and Prism ceased movement and stood up straight. "Override Engage." The LEDs on Prism's face even shifted to a different pattern and would begin to move its legs as Maria moved her fingers in a walking motion. Slowly, but rather clunky, the robot would step into the middle of multiple other reassembly bots. Each robot was scanned by Prism's own monitor in a wide arc scan, counting 7 different robots total that was ready to be engaged. Two large, two medium, and three small. Tapping her index finger from her left hand, Prism would duck down into a battle stance. Then, following a flick with her right hand, the robot would dart towards one of the medium robots. With a fluid motion from her left index, Prism would follow with a rounded punch to deck it in the right side of the head, while tapping her middle ring finger to uppercut it with Prism's left hand. The head of the scrap bot went flying off, and the rest of it fell to pieces so that it could go reassemble itself.
Double tapping her right index and ring, Prism would jolt to the side and slam its knee into the chest of one of the smaller bots. The smaller bot went soaring several feet away, while a swipe was done with her right ring finger to follow with a roundhouse kick towards the second and third smaller bots.. Bashing through one robot, the third and final small bot fell to the floor beneath Prism's foot. While resting its' foot on a smaller bot, one of the much larger bots approached Prism, ready to grapple the combat bot. Maria would respond by tapping her right pinky several times, causing a blade to shoot out of Prism's heel into the smaller bot. In following, she would then flick up her right index finger for Prism to kick upwards, letting the blade emerge fully as it cut cleaning through the larger bot and let it's body slide apart into two different piles. The blade would retract, allowing the smaller bot to fall to a pile of scrap. While Prism was very effective in combat, there was a clear clunkiness in the bot to show that it wasn't it operating on its own, but Maria sending signals from her person to fight. It was still an amazing piece of technology, but there were several ways that Maria could and would make Prism more efficient. That was what her aura was for, but she wasn't quite ready to demonstrate that. For now.. It was almost like playing a game, watching from the sidelines as something else fought for you ... It wasn't her favorite, but it was effective.
She would take a moment to look down at Noah and smile, slowly lowering her left hand to weakly pet the pooch. An issue though, was she never released control over Prism. As her arm dropped, Prism itself harshly lowered itself to the floor and began an odd hand motion of moving its arm as if it was also trying to pet something. ... That's when the two remaining bots approached. The larger bot had managed to grapple Prism's left arm and head, while the medium bot held onto Prism's right hand and clutched it's open palm to its chest, almost like hugging it to try and restrain it. With a soft gasp, Maria let her left-hand slide off of Noah before tapping her ring finger. With that, a loud blast would sound as Prism's palm exploded into a blast, firing bullets into the chest of the robot and making it drop from damage. To follow up, she tapped her left index finger to cause a blade to burst from its right forearm. Then, sliding the index finger in a large, left bound circle. Prism's own arm would click into place before slashing leftwards, effectively decapitating the larger bot that had the other half of its' body restrained. The final bot fell to scrap before the parts began the process of reassembly into the robots they once were. ... However, the practice was over, and they would simply wait to be confronted again. Control was relinquished by the girl, and Prism chimed back to its own presence. Prism was satisfied with Maria's display and turned to face its master. "Excellent display, Maria. It seems that your hands are still in working order." The compliment from her weapon was flattering, but likely preprogrammed... Instead, she'd smile weakly down at Noah, her left hand climbing back up his fur to pet him once again. 'I wonder what he thought of it.'

  ☆════━━━━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━━━━═════☆ Ivory didn't care that the teacher was teaching, he only cared about tickling his prey. The laugh that came from Nova was pure gold. It was pure and innocent. Then she tried tickling him. He would chuckle a bit in his low, feminine voice. When he didn't think that he could handle it anymore, he would grab Nova's arms and pin them down. He would then stare into her bright blue eyes with his steely blue ones, and blush.
What was he doing? This wasn't right, this wasn't what his host parents tried to teach him. They taught him to be a gentleman, but Nova, Jessica and Cherry were family, and family played with each other, tumbling, biting, and tickling, not necessarily in that order. He would get up, trying to understand what he had just done. He gently grabbed his tail, and brought it close to his mouth. He was always a gentleman with the ladies on his team, and now he ruined it.
He would walk back to his desk, the teacher had said that they could work on things, but he didn't think that he was prepared to work on his hand now. Now that he had ruined his image of a gentleman.☆════━━━━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━━━━═════☆ [[OOC: Post count 89-10=79]

Conrad Fletcher- XSCAG / Gambler / Delinquent / Still the best that ever was  Boy had it been quite an eventful 24 hours. Spending last night at the gambling den was probably one of the better choices he had done in awhile. After all he did walk out with some sweet funds for his own pocket. Not only that but a nifty new pair of shoes to go along with it. Conrad didn't even have to pay for them. Simply put he played his cards right and managed to get out with great loot. Though now that the nights fun was over, it was time for business. Well time for class...but hey same difference right. Making his way down the halls of Beacon, clearly Conrad didn't look too well. His movements seemed tipsy, there were bags under his eyes, his clothes didn't appeared to be washed in awhile. Yet there seemed to be a smile across his face and a certain flow about him. While his steps didn't follow any sort of pattern, his hands were flipping around a couple of coins between them. Some of which he won last night even. Literally they would fly around between his palms, fingers, and even the knuckles. With relative ease and certainty he kept it up while his feet seemed to stumble forward for him. Upon arriving at the door of the class room he looked up to double checked to make sure it was the right place. With a smirk he would flip all the coins that landed effortlessly into one of his extra pockets on his pant leg. BAM! Conrad literally kicked open the door and stumbled into the class room. " AYO Teach!" He would shout with a cheeky smile to him. Now the thing was that he was very late to class. Like about....an hour late to be exact. Though the boy didn't exactly care about that. It was weapons class, a class he was very confident that he would pass. Well he didn't care about passing either, but then again there were only certain things he cared for. He would casually proceed forward going through the class to see what was going on. "So whats evry...one doing?" He would ask kinda slurring his words a bit from the lack of sleep. Posts: 1

 Watching Ivory and Nova had made her smile. It was such a wonderful sight to see, the two getting along. Sitting down next to Ivory she patted his back. "Don’t feel bad Ivory. You’re still the gentlemen, we're just a family." She was beaming with joy at the moment. It was a huge step in unity for them. "Do I need to give you scratches?" Placing a hand on his back before having it crawl up. Giving him a few small scratches behind the ear. 85

 Amélie Lacroix - About to head over to work with a student, Amélie heard the door swings open. Spinging her rifle she fired a shot, the bullet cutting a few hairs from the boys head. "You are late and disruptive. Next time I take an ear. Since you are late you'll stay after and clean up all the cartridges." Walking over to the boy, looking him. "You think you’re cool and tough stuff. I’ve seen and killed Grimm harder than you. You smell of cigarettes and beer, but judging your eyes you lack sleep. Which I'd guess means gambling." Slinging her rifle on her back she glared at the boy. "Don’t be late again."138

"Would you like some candy Noah?"
"Remember that gives me a sore stomach Nova... "
"BOOOOOOORING!!"  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - - Nova Primrose & Noah - -
It all happened in slow motion for Nova, she was pinned down by Ivory and whilst started off laughing she quickly could sense how nervous this situation made him. Nova wondered if she should make Ivory feel more embarrassed, however felt her face going red at the same time. This was a really strange feeling for her, something she didn't actually know if she had felt before - apart from when she saw that hot faunus guy back at home.
Nova watched as Ivory was obviously going through many emotions at once, he let go of her and sat down, evidently disappointed somehow. She laughed as she stood up, deciding not to make the situation worse, and pointed at Ivory. "Maybe next time you won't p***y out of a tickle war Ivory! One point to Nova!!!" she yelled, showing that she didn't have a bad opinion of him after the short awkward moment.
Nova shrugged, she looked over to see Noah still has happy as a wolf pup could be with all the attention from Maria. For a short, brief second she missed her best friend, and then laughed it off as she then remembering how annoying he was sometimes.
Nova sat at a table and rested her chin on her hand, she was bored - this whole class was boring. The teacher focused on shooting targets, when Nova didn't even own a pair of guns, she also didn't really explain anything that was going on. When Nova wasn't kept excited or in the loop, she switched off - always looking for something interesting to do.

☆════━━━━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━━━━═════☆ Ivory would look over at Nova, her face was red from him pinning her. She was saying that she would win the tickling war next time that they went through it. However, Ivory was torn. His primal form wanted to show her that she was wrong, but the part that was a gentleman told him that she shouldn't touch a woman like that. He didn't know what to do.
While his ears were flat, he would look at Jessica. "No, I don't need petting." He would then look back at his hand, and he would take it off of his arm. He would look down at the sock that he used to make sure that he didn't get sores while using the hand. He would then put the hand on the stand. He needed to do something to get the claws in. He would take a saw to the hand....wait...how was he going to do this...maybe he needed someone else to do this for him.
He would look towards the teacher, she was scolding another student for being late. She was busy though, and he didn't know where to start. He would look towards Nova. "Nova, can you help me?" She could even just help by holding the hand, or doing the cutting for him. ☆════━━━━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━━━━═════☆ [[OOC: Post count 90-10=80]

Watching her team have some fun she had to smile, though part of it was ignoring the student who just got in. When seeing half she looked around and frowned, seeing Cherry had just up and left. "Wow..." Walking closer to Nova and Ivory she chuckled. With Ivory close to cutting the new hand. "What are you trying to Ivory? The hand is like a weapon, it has screws." Grabbing a screw driver, a hex key, and even pliers she check. "Simple unscrew."86

Nova's ears pricked up when Ivory called her over for help, she was instantly over and could see that Jessica was trying to steal the show again - not happening. "You take a step back Jessica!! He asked for MY help!" she said, moving in front of her in both a playful yet stubborn way as she smiled at Ivory.
"What can I do!? Let me know and I'll do it!" she said, her hands out ready to help hold the hand or cut it, whatever Ivory would choose she would carry it out. Nova was just excited to be of help to someone, she was bored in this class - the teacher just didn't keep everyone engaged and she was almost like a child who had no stimulation. She stood, waiting to listen to Ivory's instructions with anticipation.

【 Level | Posts ≡ 0 | 11 】
【 out. of. commission. ≡ This feels like the worst post I've made yet. IT's just so... Bland and uninteresting. Sorry. neutral 】
XXXThe bang of the door being kicked open was certainly an attention grabber, as was the voice that followed. It was one that was familiar, but the most she could do in response was to shift her eyes and tap with her fingers to call Prism to her aid. Prism would comply without hesitance and wrap its' fingers around Maria's handlebars, turning her chair towards Conrad, with Noah in lap. Maria wanted to smile at her teammate, motion for Prism to offer him a wave. ... Something was off, though. Words were slurred, and the boy was just making a ruckus all around. It was ... Almost embarrassing, almost... The only thought that kept her afloat was that her own team had been a pair of troublemakers themselves, her and another being the only ones that really kept them in line ... Oh the trouble they got in, but... It was always worthwhile. So... A hesitant smile would remain on her face, Prism walking her forward while the teacher began to tear into the student. Once within a few feet, Maria would begin to sign with her hands resting above Noah. Though... She would cease control, knowing Prism may get him in more trouble. "I'm terribly sorry in Conrad's steed, Professor Lacroix... Our team seems to be all over the place after this weekend, and I should've paid more attention ... Would you mind if Prism and I stuck around to help Conrad with cleanup?" The girl would question through her robotic companion, who was radiating a rainbow of LEDs as it translated. Maria felt personally responsible that a member of her team had caused such a ruckus, then... Arthras and Crimson seemed to have vanished in the midst of everything ... If it wasn't for Noah on her lap, she would've felt more alone. It made her nervous, that her team had been so ... Desynched. Her fingers would lightly fidget, tapping both weakly and nervously against Noah. It wasn't intentional, but... Maria wasn't sure what else to do, and then would follow with another motion. "Greetings Conrad. How're you feeling? .. The others.. Seem to have wandered off. So... I'm really glad you could make it. ... Have you met the other teams? This is Noah, he's a partner from team MINC. He's cute and fluffy. " With a couple moving fingers, Prism would then gesture Conrad towards the table that MINC was sitting at, who seemed to be the most active in the class. Her gaze would shift back towards Conrad, continuing to sign. 'I think they're trying maintenance on something... I heard it rolling by. Maybe we can try to help? Unless you'd like to do something?'

☆════━━━━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━━━━═════☆ Ivory would look between the two women on his team. Jessica wanted to help, but he really wanted Nova's help for some reason. Maybe it was the hormones going through Ivory's body, but he wanted her help, and she seemed to want to help, he would take Jessica's advice though, and he would take the screw driver from her. "I need someone to hold the hand while I do this so that it doesn't slip..." He knew that he would need to add a spring and some smaller curved blades, but he would need openings for those.
He would look up with the screw driver in his hand, ready to start taking out screws when Nova held the hand for him. ☆════━━━━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━━━━═════☆ [[OOC: Post count 91-10=81]

A tinge of pain came, though it was mostly swamped by pride. Ivory was reaching out to others on their team. With a nod Jessica would back off. The team needed to trust and bond, if Ivory kept going to Jessica it would have alienated everyone else. Placing her weapon on the table she collect the tools she would need to clean. Doing the activity for so long her weapon was in pieces within a minute, rag in hand she began to clean and polish. At a glance Jessica's weapon was already clean, though a habit that stuck from when Atlas was still around. She would hum as as she cleaned, in a meditative trance as she began to feel at ease. 87

Nova smiled at Ivory as she held his mechanical hand tightly so that it wouldn't move. "Uh, Ivory I have a question..." she said, examining the hand, every part of it was very interesting indeed. "Sometimes they say that when you lose a limb, you experience a phantom arm.. c-can you feel anything there?" she asked him, pure curiosity getting the better of her as she looked back at him with curious eyes.
Nova held the hand again as when she asked the question her grip loosened, as she was thinking hard about what the answer could be. "Ok, I've got it for you..." she added, as she watched him perform the process.

☆════━━━━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━━━━═════☆ Ivory would turn the screws, first to the right, and then to the left, once he realized that he was doing it wrong. Nova would ask him a question, and he would answer her. "It's more pain than feeling my old hand being there..." He would get out the first screw, and move to the next. "...even though I don't remember my hand actually coming off, the nub still causes me pain." He would get the next one off.
"I don't regret doing what I did. I don't think that any faunus would be safe with that man still alive." He would stop unscrewing screws for a moment and look into her bright blue eyes. "Even though I doubt that we completely wiped out the Tribe, I'm glad I took of piece from them." He would then go back to getting the rest of the screws out of the hand.☆════━━━━┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈━━━━═════☆ [[OOC: Post count 92-10=82]

"BOOOOOOORING!!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - - Nova Primrose & Noah - -
Nova tilted her head at him, evidently a little confused at his statement, she almost couldn't understand how he would be feeling 'pain' but decided that only he would know that - it wasn't her place to say anything. "I see, I mean I suppose the nub will heal even more in time.." she said, watching him screw and fiddle about with it, she didn't understand what he was doing at all.
She listened to him speaking of not regretting losing his arm, and that he would have had an impact on the tribe, and nodded in agreement. "You know, the tribe invaded my clan a long time ago now.." she said, smiling as she squeezed his hand trying to reassure him. "I suppose in a way, you avenged my Pa for me, by taking something they had.." she said, almost feeling a lump in her throat as she smiled. "You saved a lot of lives by doing what you did, wear your arm with pride because of that Iv" she added.
Things got a little bit too intense for Nova, she coughed and tried to change the mood back to something more happy. "Uh, so.. I wonder how long its going to take before you accept a cuddle from Noah huh?" she said, laughing a little bit, making it obvious that it was fake as she couldn't stop thinking about her father now.
