[b][u]Kristen Schwally[/u][/b] Kristen was relieved that Adam didn't make her do anything. In fact he seemed embarrassed and that caused Kristen to giggle as she skipped off when he went to help someone else. She just relaxed a little while she waited for capture the flag. Once everyone was gathered for that though she only got happier when she was told that she would be with Jake and Gabriela, but then she was a little shocked to hear a third Valos. Jaska? Kristen just shrugged. Just another friend! When she got to there side though she wanted to enjoy the view so she quickly found her way to the second floor of there building and sat on the window sill kicking her feet and hummed a lullaby just because she was in a really good mood. As she hummed she looked across at the fortress. The view wasn't exactly beautiful, but she could definitely appreciate the work of art that it was. What she was curious about was how this place would look after the game because surely there were some pretty destructive people around here that would do some heavy damage to the area around them. If she could get away with it Kristen would probably sit up here as long as possibly. At least until someone decided to kill her perfect little world up in the window. She looked down at her team for a little bit and wondered if they could actually win this. They did have Jake and Gabriela so it was highly possible. [b][u]Stephen Avarian[/u][/b] Stephen smirked whenever Amanda tried to brag about mimicking his power. He wondered how long her system would tolerate the higher metabolism without her treating it right. Plus the vision wasn't something you just gained in a second so he doubted she got that part of it since that took him almost a year to develop and he was only able to because he had been injured and forced into blindness. Which also meant she'd still be affected by the mirages like he would if he could see which should be interesting to observe. Of course that's if she used his power at all. In any case he'd have to fight her in hand to hand next time they fought. Stephen sighed when he heard his team. Of couse he got stuck with Amanda and Sylvia. Obviously their feelings towards him wouldn't be changing anytime soon so why should he have to deal with people that were likely to stab him in the back for shits and giggles? In any case that's how it was, as for a plan though, well he'd likely just walk out there and engage the enemy and just prolong a fight with them to stall until his team could win the game. Given all the different talents his team possessed and the only hot shot the other team had was Valjean, it was safe to say this game was already decided. In turn Stephen was just leaning against the wall of their own base waiting for the game to start so that he could crush the enemy and win this. Honestly he might need to ask Adam for help on working on a theory he was having for his own ability, but seriously. This IS a competition. If you're not playing to win then you aren't trying enough. Crush those who get in the way without mercy, that's how things are in the world, why should it be any different here?
