[hr][center][color=khaki][h1]Freya Leander ~ Cait Sith[/h1][/color][/center] [hr] [@Tenma Tendo] [@Heartfillia] [@Nyahahameha] As much as Freya appreciated the morale boost and hug from Chi, the word "hero" still didn't seem apt enough to resonate with her. Even so, she gave a weak smile back at him, blinking away the remaining bleariness. Since Chi had a reason to be tired, evidenced by the container on his back, she'd probably do best not to moan too much. At least Keri's arrival meant one less reason to worry. [color=khaki]"Whew, speak of the devil, we were wondering where [i]you[/i] were,"[/color] she said, once Kerianne asked about Dawn. [color=khaki]"As for Dawn..."[/color] She glanced from Breeze to Chi. [color=khaki]"Ehh, I can't say I have, but we've still got a good few minutes before the test. And yeah, maybe she's just hanging out with guys."[/color] She looked this way and that, spinning round at a thud. [color=khaki]"Ah! Both of you alright there?"[/color] She ran towards Renard and a girl in crystalline armour, the latter kneeling on the ground and wearing a mortified look. As Renard helped the girl up, giving that kindly smile, Freya cast her eyes down as her cheeks warmed. Relieved as she was to see him acting like himself again, why did she suddenly feel even more out of place? Nonetheless, she smiled over at both him and the girl who'd introduced herself as Clara. [color=khaki]"Good to see you both are."[/color] Her attention settled on Renard, on that hero costume she'd seen for the first time... or not. Something about the form-fitting outfit struck her as familiar. She thought over the heroes she knew of, but the connection still evaded her... Where had she seen it, then? Her face heated again as she realised she was staring. Pulling her gaze away, she cringed and turned her head - only to spot a glowing blur rushing at the group. Eyes widening, she watched Dawn tackle Kerianne to the ground. Despite her less than enthusiastic state, Freya couldn't help but give a little chuckle. [color=khaki]"Well, that's the second mystery solved,"[/color] she commented as Gabby made her heroic entrance, lifting Dawn off of Kerianne. [color=khaki]"And someone had to liven things up."[/color] She couldn't help but yawn as Gabby did. [color=khaki]"Considering they just had to schedule this for stupid o'clock. Oh well, I guess the earlier it is, the sooner it'll be over."[/color] [hr][center][color=darkviolet][h1]Kerianne Morley ~ Nightwatch[/h1][/color][/center] [hr] [@Tenma Tendo] [@Heartfillia] [@Nyahahameha] With a furrowed brow and another look around, Kerianne sighed. [color=darkviolet]"Nothing to do but keep searching, the-"[/color] Right then, someone slammed into her back with an all too familiar yell. Both toppled forward with a thud, Kerianne pulling one arm free from the grip and reaching through the dust. Not that she could warp away, the cloud stinging her eyes and obscuring her vision, forcing her to endure the Dawn Gibbs version of All Might's line. Luckily, as expected in a hero school, somebody ran to Kerianne's aid. The weight lessened, allowing her to stand and see Dawn in Gabby's ample arms. [color=darkviolet]"Just as I should have expected,"[/color] she grumbled at Dawn once she'd stopped spluttering. [color=darkviolet]"And somehow I don't think this is what the teachers meant by combat training, so don't count that as a win."[/color] Dusting off her costume, she raised her head to face Gabby. As the other girl yawned, Kerianne fought the urge to do the same. [color=darkviolet]"Thanks,"[/color] she said, before frowning a little. [color=darkviolet]"Hey, are you ok?"[/color] She could relate, given the gruelling past week. Alexander and Elaine had even had to ban her from the training room one evening, after she'd almost overdone it again. Still, this kind of lethargy wasn't typical of Gabby. [color=darkviolet]"And are you?"[/color] She cast a concerned glance towards Breeze, noting that particularly subdued air. [color=darkviolet]"Just a busy week? If so, it'll all be worth it."[/color] [color=6ecff6]"Yep! Let's hope so!"[/color] someone called, bounding over and doing a full pirouette. Rather appropriate, considering her elaborate [url=https://i.imgur.com/aA0EIeg.jpg]tutu-like costume[/url]. Kerianne stepped back from the whirl of energy that was Momo, who grinned up at Gabby. [color=6ecff6]"In any case, all that training sure was fun! Just like this will be, no matter what the scores!"[/color] [url=https://i.imgur.com/v9njaFc.jpg]Another girl[/url] sprinted over in a whirl of yellow and black stripes, dabbing her costume with a tissue. A bee themed outfit, featuring translucent fabric wings and gold-toned armlets. [color=deb30a]"Heyyyy! If anyone needs a little pick-me-up..."[/color] Warm brown eyes glittered behind goggles as they shifted from Gabby, to Freya, to Chisato, and everyone else who appeared even remotely fatigued. [color=deb30a]"How about a few warm-up exercises? Best way to shake off sleepiness!"[/color] Kerianne backed away further, raising an eyebrow as the girl launched into a series of star jumps. It was only noticing the container on Chisato's back that stopped her. [color=deb30a]"Ohh! A substance-producing Quirk, that explains it. Not that we'll want to let on our exact Quirks before the team-ups, but whatever the fine details, once you've finished your beverage I've got others that are perfect for replacing fluids and nutrients! Same goes for anyone who needs a boost!"[/color] She pulled several bottles from her bag, filled with liquids that looked like something a mad scientist had brewed up. [color=deb30a]"Oh, and on the subject, it's ok,"[/color] she reassured Momo. [color=deb30a]"That was just fortified lemonade earlier, nothing that'll stain too badly."[/color] Out of sheer morbid curiosity, Kerianne had to ask. [color=darkviolet]"Fortified?"[/color] The bee girl held up a murky yellow-green bottle. [color=deb30a]"With cayenne pepper and coffee for energy, pureed spinach for iron, protein shake powder to get the most out of the training, and salt to retain fluid. I've got another one here if anyone wants to try, as well as several other types of homemade sports drinks, gotta be prepared after all! But I recommend this one to you."[/color] Picking up an identical beverage, she held it out to Chi and removed the lid. The soda, shaken from the star jumps, fizzed everywhere like a fountain. [color=deb30a]"Oops! Oh well, it'll taste the same, and be just as good for you. And feel free to take something else once it's all settled."[/color] She swept her arm towards the concoctions. [color=deb30a]"I'm Melissa, by the way."[/color] All Kerianne could do was give a blank stare. [color=darkviolet]"Uhh... I think I'm all good, thanks. And I'm Kerianne."[/color] At least somebody was taking this test seriously, that much couldn't be denied.
