[b]URIEL ATTICUS - LOCATION: TRAINING ROOM[/b]

Huh, so the students were going to be the ones organising the training session. In all honesty it seemed a bit lazy on the scientists’ part but on the other hand Uriel was all for fostering the creative minds of future generations. Kids these days, institutionalised in those stuffy classrooms, never getting the chance to think outside the box. Of course, he would have preferred to receive this opportunity without being kidnapped beforehand but hey, you can’t win them all. And so, he obediently followed the lady out to the training hall, being only a tiny bit bummed that she didn’t reveal what her powers were. Another day, perhaps.

Oh sweet, the Telepathy Communication worked. TeleCom? T-mail? He’d decide on a catchy name later. It seemed like she didn’t catch his darker thoughts from earlier too. Even sweeter.

[color=00aeef][i]Chillax fam, I hear ya loud and clear. We’ll catch up later in the training room.[/i][/color]

The room itself was rather bare bones. No furniture, nothing but some meshed lights and sturdy-looking, everything-proofed walls. For a government funded training and confinement facility, it was quite anticlimactic. Maybe some machines would pop out from the ground later, anything to relieve his eyes from the drabness of the room. 

Uriel grinned as Nilin announced the initial pairings. Arthur was a cool bloke, probably the best person he got along with during his time in the facility. He had the patience to put up with the best and worst of Uriel’s ramblings, while also offering clever insights of his own. If there was any quality Uriel could respect, it was cleverness.

[color=6ecff6]"Looks like we're up first. I'm not sure how you want to go about this but... my power is pretty much entirely passive."[/color] He grimaced a little before continuing. [color=6ecff6]"And... the only way I can see us 'training our abilities together', as our new coach/chief scientist/warden has commanded, is if you... y'know, hurt me. And then we see how long it takes me to recover. Fun, right?"[/color]

Nilin’s advice to “don't do anything unnecessarily dangerous" was brought to mind. But Arthur’s words had an unfortunate truth. The only way to train was to physically harm the Brit in some way.

[color=00aeef]“Well, I guess this would be an excellent time for me to learn how to erase pain too,”[/color] Uriel added awkwardly, trying to find the best way to handle this problem. [color=00aeef]“So should I just punch you around a bit then? Give you the ol’ one-two? We could start by me just stomping on your toes or something.”[/color]

He couldn’t even remember the last time he had thrown a proper punch. Sure, Uriel had encountered his fair share of people trying to beat the shit out of him (for reasons that should be obvious by now), but he had never actually physically engaged them. He was on the cross-country team for good reason.

[color=00aeef]“I’ll do my best to get rid of the pain. You just focus on the healing part.”[/color]
