Five months of it. Thing was she didn't push any harder, in fact she was barely phoning it in. Her mind elsewhere. Each day she took them and trained them. Fighting, language. Different times and places. Always alone. Always away from anyone else they could interact with. Each evening she would get together with the other trainers like she had before. Instead of her usual break down she would inform her fellow trainers she had nothing new to report. She never bothered to tell them what happened in Club Afterdark. They could go find out if they wished.The last day of training, Evelina hugged both Faith and Bart and walked to her room. Locking the door behind her. She refused to answer it. Training was over. Next morning, same as always each paradox would find a note at their door, Emendators and Elder Paradox did as well - [i]Report to the Study[/i] [b][i][color=998849]Skills:[/color][/i][/b] Here are the skills your characters picked up over the last month of training. The dice came up as 5 months for the last round.

I would make sure you get these in post haste. If it turns out you received a skill your character already learned, well, you are out of luck - just means you got more training in it. Place a * next to it. If you got a new Language - place it under Native Languages. Also, we have relations to update and Trainers, you have your PM. Relations get 7 day counter from today to update. Remember, this is not discussion but pure character gut feeling. Please, for the love of your characters drop your personal feelings off before you do this.... ([color=ed1c24]Relations MUST be done before you post - if you post before relations are done it is null and void.[/color]) [list][*] [color=998849][i][b]Sophia:[/b][/i][/color][list][*] Alertness - Ability to notice things that otherwise might go unnoticed.

She had been on mission and returned late the night before. Reporting into Evelina as per the norm. What wasn't the norm was the fact that the first morning after training people finished it was not Evelina addressing the group as a whole for summations and reviews. It was Alicia. Looking through a stack of paper the girl seemed really out of her element. [color=ed145b]"Fuck, okay. Um, four month, four month, one month, five months. So that's um. Shit. Math. Fifteen months of training. Four Emendators, one elder paradox... Damn."[/color] Dropping the paper, she picked them up again and then finally found the one she was looking for. [color=ed145b]"Okay, right here we are. Training is done. You are supposed to go on missions now. Um, that isn't happening. At least not for a fucking week. Last order I was given was that everyone was to take a week off before you were sent out. Something about fucking down time."[/color] Putting the paper down Alicia looked at each of the Paradoxes and Emendators slowly. [color=ed145b]"No fucking wonder. Right, weeks break."[/color] Shuffling back through the disorganized stack on the desk she picked up the smaller envelopes. [color=ed145b]"Right, these are normally read out loud but I had a damn look at them and you don't want this shit public."[/color] Walking over to each of the Paradoxes in turn, Alicia handed over an envelope. On it were two words - [i]Personal Reviews[/i] [color=ed145b]"Right, you will want to read these. I suggest you do it alone. I'll be here to talk if ya need it, chances are you will. Don't think you can do it alone for fucks sake."[/color] Walking over to the Emendators and the elder Paradox Alicia rubbed her face. [color=ed145b]"Um, she left... Last night."[/color] Looking around Alicia crossed her hands over her chest, her hips swaying left and right a bit as she rocked from one boot to another. [color=ed145b]"And I can't find the bitch on the vid. It's like, the channel was canceled?"[/color] Alicia said, not being able to figure out a better way to phrase it. Pulling a folded up sheet of paper out of her back pocket she handed it over to the first one of the Emendators or Elder Paradox that wanted to take it. Belladonna didn't even try, she just stood there and placed a single red finger nail to the side of her mouth. [color=silver]"Oh dear..."[/color] (Pm's coming short about those envelopes and such.)
