"Not real sure what's going on down there.." Bix laughed a bit and scratched his head. "Used to be storage space and... I guess free space for things. We got so many trainees that now people have to live down there. BUT.. my friend America is president of the basement, from what I hear, so you should look her up."

Noemi seem to shrink just a bit more as Stormy moved away from her. If this was Lina, which it seemed to be; they had been close as children....and Noemi had attended a funeral but....
"I am no dream." She said quietly, "I am no dream Lina and I will not go away because you wish it." But this was no time to harass the mist as she used Peyton as a body guard.
She immediately went closer to Oliver, but no so close to invade his space and remained quiet for the rest of the tour. Her gaze never left Stormy's form though.

Hanna shifted awkwardly. It was a movement that she did frequently. Stare, think, imagine the situation in 1000 different ways, then shift awkwardly. That was nearly doubled by the fact that, since she came back from the pod, she was now a newbie with some of the entitlement of an oldbie. It still felt good to be here, stretching her social legs. She had lost 2.5 years to the pod. It was about ******** time she started working to make up for lost time.
So. Socializing. Huzzah!
Hanna listened patiently as some of the more seasoned Hunters took the stand, so to speak, and introduced themselves. Her ears pricked particularly at Peyton's comment about being great at dueling with close-ranged/dual-wield weapons. That basically described her hooked twin blade to a tee. Plus, Peyton was one of the only people she had really had an extended interaction with so far, aside from a few other names. Maybe she would be willing to spar with Hanna, show her some stuff so that she wouldn't be beaten by fresh-from-the-pod trainees again, as she had been beaten by Cami.
Stormy, on the other hand, made Hanna suspicious. SO SHE COULD BREAK INTO ROOMS, EH? Ever since Hanna had found Room 103 ransacked when she returned, she had been shooting accusatory glances at random people. Sure, she hadn't found a smiley face sticker, but it still made her wary. Perhaps the culprit was a Moon? ...granted, Hanna also had a bulky weapon of sorts. So it might help her to spar with Stormy too.
Okay, so basically, everyone could help her.
Gale looked familiar to Hanna, but her memory was fuzzy. Did she know him from before her repodding? It felt even eerier when he said he was in Death. Okay, creepy I-think-I-know-you-a-little feeling got stronger. Hanna DID have lots of questions, but she held back for now, eyeballing him perhaps a little too long.
A tiny Asian girl asked another question about Death, which further piqued Hanna's curiosity. Was she supposed to pair up with someone too? Life was definitely the second most interesting division, in her opinion.
The tour started and Hanna was swept along, eyes glazing over at buildings she already knew. The assorted collection of would-be hunters were far more interesting to her currently. She fell back into an observational role, sussing out the personality and skills of those around her as best she could. Bix was continuing with the tour, and Hanna found herself once again salivating over the idea of getting her own bathroom.
Alas, dream deferred. For now.
...of course, then Bix had to bum her out by reminding her that she was basically dead to the family she left behind. Way to be a buzzkill.

They moved along momentarily and headed off to the end, the last visible building in the vicinity inside the walls.
"So we're coming up on the Life labs, hospital building, infirmary, etc. I guess we can talk about duties now because a lot of them take place in here." He stopped when they got near the entrance. "So this is where you go when you're hurt.. this is also where Life division has research labs. Things like hospital duty, lots of cleaning assignments, and minipet care take place in this building."
Bix tried to think if he forgot anything. "It's also connected underground to some other places and I'm pretty sure the pod room, from the Cove, is also connected here." They should need no introduction considering all who were present had to have been there already to acquire weapons.
Bix laughed a bit, though there was also an underlying sinister implication of his words. "So everyone get used to seeing this place cause if you don't work there, you'll end up here eventually."

Tripping up a bit at the weight suddenly around her shoulders Milly couldn't help but burst out into laughter that was just a bit louder than poor Bix's voice. He was trying, valiantly, to corral this group so that he could impart what was vital information. Cami knew it was vital because the arrow around her neck was almost vibrating with her demands to pay attention. Tilting her head a bit at Jasper, she looked over to Bix, then back. "Wait, he's Superman? But Superman's a douchecanoe! Bix is great." She frowned a bit. They'd have to work on that one. When she'd adopted Jasper and his odd sense of superheroism, Cami was not sure. But now he was one of hers and that meant she was going to be responsible for him and his odd nomenclatures. Dakota's offer, however, was highly tempting. Kidana even seemed to approve of her wanting to team spar but it worried her, slightly, that he seemed so eager. That meant there was potential for loss. Oh well. Never lost, never gained! Grinning at the guy next to her she nodded. "I'm always down for sparring. We'll see if Batsy here can keep you off me long enough for me to riddle you with holes." She was apparently okay at that on her own, if her spar with Hanna was any indication (it really wasn't) but with a partner? They might win!

“Well, yes but… he’s… Kryptonite! I mean unless he’s Luther or… or Son of Superman or…super girl…” He trailed off thinking. “Maybe he can be… ret-coned superman who got the chance NOT to be…” He waved his hands. “What if we just ask him? Maybe he can be uhh… Green Lantern? Then its green like kryptonite but…wait, no there is a LOT of yellow around here… damn it.” “What about you?!” He said holding hands out to their new sparing partner. “Nickname… then sparring, or sparring and then we give you a fabulous superhero or pop culture nickname? Like uh… Hey, Harl…you and me, sparring together? Totally Gypsy Danger. Catch my…drift? ” He held out two thumbs up and then ducked his head like he was actually expecting a punch or a slap for that one.

Dakota kept his grip light should either two wish to escape, but since agreed to spar with him.
"Ohohoho A typical sun reaction to take on a stronger enemy. that's good, so long as this one here, Hi nice to meetcha, is willing to protect you." He blinked.
"Me? I'm not really the superhero type." Whoa this guy spoke super fast. "Uh...Sure?"
MAYBE HE CAUGHT THE DRIFT.

Terrible! They were both terrible and it had the Sun trainee dissolving into laughter. Poking Jasper in his wiry ribs she snorted out her next few words, having to repeat them twice before they were intelligible due to her accent and the laughter. "Sure thing, fanboy. You can walk around looking at me like I am a goddess. Raleigh to my Mako." Looking at Dakota she sized him up, trying to decide what kaiju would fit him best. "You don't look much like a Scunner. Otachi?" She nodded firmly. "Otachi because Batsy here is gonna help me slice and dice you into sushi!" Never say that she didn't have confidence! Most of it was sheer bravado but when there was a FEAR shield involved, it was easy to be brave. Not so much when it was real but...she hadn't learned that lesson yet.

"Listen guys.." Bix threw up his hands at the character discussion by the small group of newbs. "I'm Green Arrow ok... green arrow." End of discussion. He even had Green Arrow/Black Canary posted on his dorm door. "ANYWAY.." Bix waved for them to follow again. This time it was down the path, past the already familiar training fields, and out the gates to the outside of the walls. "The island used to be protected by wards and shields but now it's just these walls." From here the path went down and split. It went off towards the beach, then towards the now visible town. Further away you could see jungle, covering the majority of the rest of the island. The were clearly raised up on a cliff. Bix hadn't planned on taking them to the lighthouse but it was also visible. "Lighthouse." He pointed. "Where we portal out. To return to the island from a portal, you have to have a pendant. You get those there too. Super simple." Another Vanna White wave, "The beach is self explanatory but swim at your own risk. You'll also find submersibles there to access underwater duty. Basically you stare out into the water and make sure nothing is coming at us from there. You also can go diving for runes." He whispered loudly, "BEWARE OF MERMAIDS." "Annnnnd last but not least." Bix turned and pointed to the town. It looked mostly crumbling and abandoned besides the few nice houses there, one of them a sunny yellow *coughgaleshousecough*. "That's the town. As I said before once you are a high enough rank you can take a house and fix it up to your own needs, but also at your own risk. Outside of the walls there is always a chance of creatures attacking. For the most part they are shadowlings.. nothing too serious, but we have been known to have an invasion or two." everyone im sorry I hope I didn't lose you guys totally.. i finally got a new computer ;;

Oliver had been out to the beaches before. He hadn't seen anything to give him concern...but as Bix spoke about creature attacks and invasions, he began to debate the wisdom of ever leaving the walls. In fact, he would rather like to go back inside right this instant. He stuck close to Noemi the whole time, although it was unclear whether he was hovering protectively, or ready to hide behind her the instant a 'shadowling' appeared.
