Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh snaps. Cass looked at Marcus with wide eyes, half leaning against him when he put his arm around her, even if Simon's comment smarted a bit. Though it wasn't aimed at her, and she had yet to have been..riled up..in such a way.

Never the less....

ouch.

At Simon's words she tensed, falling silent and crossing one leg over the other. She put her hands on her knee, sitting prim and proper and putting on a far too sweet smile. "Understood~." She replied, rubbing her lips together and closing her eyes. Just let this ******** end already. She didn't want to be here anymore.

Jordan winced behind the coffee cup, torn once again between damn, that's gotta hurt and you did it to yourself. He wished he'd been able to get through the portal faster. Would he have been able to defuse the situation? No way to know. Then again, maybe it was better for the point to be hammered in hard now; it might make it easier to avoid temper flares later.

Still, it was rough, on top of all the other stresses.

... everyone was going to have to bring up a point to critique? Damn. Well. Somebody had to start. He took a breath and spoke. "Being unable to keep your cool in a stressful situation is likely to make it worse and could be very dangerous." Sorry, guys.

Saya made a suggestion.

"Y-you can't combine your shikai if you fight?"

Obviously, Allen-taichou somehow managed to summon enough shikai to make up for all of the trainees to be thrown into the portal. However, since the three were intermediate trainees, Saya figured, they might just have to make up in combination spirit.

Oh god. Oh god, oh god, embarrassment squick. It wasn't something Madison was used to feeling, but she felt it now. She tried not to stare too obviously at the three unfortunate trainees. Poor Jerry, poor Candace, possibly poor girl-she-didn't know? Oh man.

... But she really wanted to just burn the costume to the ground. And go shower. And go slam a door or two.

"Uh. Put aside personal, like, differences before a mission and take them up again afterwards if you have to, but don't let that interfere? and stuff?"

OKAYTIMETOLEAVEGOODBYE. Madison fled.

Michael stared blankly at Allen still having no clue what had gone down before deciding that he still tottaly counted as injured even if he was feeling way better than before - which wasnt saying much. Besides he was caked in blood and his arm still felt creaky, though no longer like it had fractured.

Reaching out with his non injured arm he tugged on the sleeve of the guy he vaguley remembered promising to help him earlier. "Infimary. Youre helping me."

He had a funny feeling the guy would not protest getting away from this madness at all.

"He says not to fight with each other, and you purposely antagonize them." He said under his breath while looking at the sun trainee. Marcus might have been a douche but he gave a glare at Rep. ********- He wasn't going to go there.
No.

Not until Candace called him out and got shot down for it. That... He didn't have a particular fondness for Candace and yeah, whatever. "Sir, call it finger pointing if you like but this is not the the first time Rep had purposely provoked and or antagonized other trainees." Marcus stood, assuming he'd probably get smacked down for arguing with a division leader. "He's shown in the past he's willing to let petty grievances get in the way of missions, and has treated not only those directly in charge of him with blatant disrespect, he's been an outright sexist, homophobic bigot to practically everyone on the island." He realized he put himself on the chopping block but.... It had just gotten to him.
"I have my own issues with him and right before you arrived I will admit I let them get the better of me. Rep is a source of a lot of strain between us trainees. Both for our ability to handle his remarks, and his own attitude. He's a capable fighter, one I'd like to someday be able to work with, but he's reaching a point where I feel that if a mission called for it, I would not be able trust him, nor, would I feel the desire, to do my duty as a member of the moon division, and provide defense for him."
He swallowed.

His s**t was so ********. "As for how the suggestion-" He sighed. "Because they're better than that, and they know it. Because I know them enough to know they are better then that."

Rin lingered a bit. Curiously. It didn't help she had nothing she wanted to shame them for. Simply wish them all the luck in hitting Rep harder next time.
