Joseiah leaned up against the transport feeling a bit impatient since he was stuck just listening to comm chatter for the moment. It gave him a general idea of what was going of where and a major clash or two, Dawn's cheer and shouts made that far easier than it should've been otherwise. At least he wasn't totally out of the loop while he waited his turn while he made a couple light dustings of snow blow around him for amusement. Getting to use a larger extent of his powers for even a bit made him feel more comfortable like the wintry temperature directly around him which was invigorating. He supposed that was a reason going out and about felt so positive besides the obvious actually getting out of the building for a time.

The ice man could always get some details about the affair at lunch or afterwards if he wanted so that wasn't so much of an issue. He just wished to have been a part of it though since he figured super cooling robots so the heavy hitters had brittle targets would be handy, or just freezing up the joints to slow the big constructs down. Oh well, there was always next time given what he was hearing over the head set being the intense set up for what had to be a big hit from Ricardo coming up. That usually meant things were being cleaned up nicely like snow coming in making everything just a bit better. Wasn't long after the recall alert came through which meant for him it was time to get cuffed again right in time for lunch. It made him question who he was gonna check in with during the day but food first fun later.

Joseiah stood smiling with his helmet in arm as the two teams rolled on back giving a wave to the lot before walking in with them. It wasn't longer however until the Dawn himself walked right on up looking overjoyed from the fight earlier. Admittedly it was a little surprising since the two of them didn't talk a ton but beyond the ever expanding ego there wasn't much to complain about between them.

"That'd be me, ice of you to remember." Josey said with a chuckle and pun at the ready then both surprised and not at getting roped into lunch by the big guy.

He had a feeling he was in this for the long haul as he walked over with Ricardo to the cafeteria, he certainly wasn't going to leave anything out about this mission excited as he was. Turns out his assessment was right because Phoenix Dawn got into startling detail from the get go. Doing his best not to burst into laughter Joseiah took in the idea of all the robot animals they got told in briefing  putting it together in his head like some cartoon which made it that much funnier. The ice man took a moment to raise a hand off to the side to reassure at least some of the others in the room especially after the table got dented while making sure to keep looking at the performance sorting out who did what.

Then Dawn got into the meat and bones as the fight wore down to just them against the big elephant. To hear that it gave the big dude some trouble was something to note but as always with a bit of help from the others you could rely on the groups to handle most anything even if the Shift turning into a tiger thing caught him as odd. Josey got to hear what the big wind up was for over the comms making his smile go wider because that was pretty damn cool though a bit less so when part of the table came off. It was with a little extra send off the story ended, made the pizza better for certain, giving a pretty clear picture over all from Ricardo's perspective.

"Oh, no prob. Pretty tame compared to that shiner of a story but I've been working on some team portraits as it comes to me. Training on the side as usual." Blizzkrieg said filling in on a project he was sure the others would like and then some after retrieving the beer cooling it and the air around it for extra effect before continuing. "Ah there you go. Been talking around with the new buds around the Tower too, like them already."

Joseiah noted that Phoenix, with a quick "excuse me", was checking out his laptop that got brought over a few minutes ago before he started laughing real good accidentally battering the poor table some more. He had a feeling he knew what was coming when Shrike was mentioned and was not disappointed with far from the worse fanfic he had seen about Dawn and Wraith, thanks Miles, but it made him laugh too.

"Nothing quite like that, hoo, but some for sure. Some of them certainly have snow problem making entertainment for them and us." He said still recovering from the sight with some intermittent giggles as Ricardo sent over messages through the chat.

Then the proposition of him coming along for a little after lunch training session with Epsilon came up which had his attention. He had nothing else major that needed his attention today so it seemed good enough to him.

"Lets tear the rest of this pizza up then, wouldn't want to let it go to waste. I might just have a few cool tricks to show off like to say." Josey said quite pleased with a way to vent some of his excess energy today with his friends.

Joseiah and Ricardo didn't take very long to get to the gym since they both walked and ate pretty quick. The two showed up early where he was getting some stretches in to loosen up for the show since he wasn't planning to back out of this. The iceman wasn't the quickest of them by far but he'd do his damnedest in the laps. If they ended up doing some combat maneuvers for show then he could get creative with a couple little bits he made use of in a pinch. Plus he got to chat up everyone while they were around so that was a few less stairs or elevator rides around the Tower. After a few minutes passed the first to show up was Silas who was gonna watch which was good enough for him.

"Good to see you Sleepyhead, you can enjoy the showing while ya chill out. Join in on the lighter stuff if you don't mind shoveling." The ice man said with a goofy grin always happy to see his buddy giving him a quick shoulder pat.

Then someone who he hadn't ever seen before arrived and well it was more than a little surprising when a walking talking cat, human sized at that, started to traipse around the gym. Had to give them one thing they started singing really well which made him wonder how they had never met before. Talk about getting a performance which got him rocking his head to the sides along with it getting a pinch of snow to swirl around too in concert. Josey chuckled a bit at the tail swipe by Silas not quite sure what to make of the spectacle of a cat right up until the end. Thankfully they got an introduction after because he definitely wanted to talk with Onyx more.

"I'm Joseiah, Josey if you prefer. You are one cool cat Onyx." He said enjoying the extremely appropriate pun with the cat man? Woman? Hard to tell.
