[color=darkgoldenrod]"Bloody Hell, Slot Machine.  You look thoroughly rooted there, mate.  Normally takes a teacher about a month, month and a half of my shit to get to that stage.  Wearin' you down already, eh?"[/color]

Adrianna briefly looked shocked, as many of the students did, at the newcoming Banjo immediately made his presence known with a crass greeting to his supervising teacher.

The traitor Elle made her way over to Banjo to give him what appeared to be a humorous jab to his arm. [color=B0C4DE]"Did the concussion make you forget your manners, Banjo?"[/color] She murmured, placing a teasing smile on her face. The force behind her punch told Banjo that it wasn't 100% genuine.

[color=darkgoldenrod]"Eaaasy.  Miss me that much you're tryin' ta put me back in the Hospital already, huh New York?"[/color]  He quietly uttered to the girl who'd given him a seemingly playful shot in the arm.

He was just so effortless with his retorts, Adie noted.  He really was just so popular with the other kids, even one of the older ones like Elle.  And she'd been somewhat distant during their camping trip, from what Adie could remember.  But already seemed friendly with Banjo.  She snorted quietly, remembering the House selection process.

[color=white]"At least you're becoming self aware there, Dingo."[/color]  His teacher actually saluted his effort at a joke.  Seeing the funny side.  Everyone really did like him.  She started to feel warm, and gently bit her lip thinking about how she'd spent her previous day.

His joke kind of reminded her about the sort of things she'd overheard men saying when she'd visited her father on worksites.  Not from her father himself, of course.  He would never.  But often a lot of his workers.  It just made him seem...

I don't know... manly..?

She felt relieved as their numerous teachers began to splinter the three teams off and take them to their individual classes.

She snuck one last peek at him walking away, before joining her group.

After following Miranda and the rest of her team to the Augmented Reality Center, Adie listened as Aiden Roth broke down the basic science behind how hyperhuman powers work on the HZE particulate level.  She was already well familiar, but liked seeing the effortless grasp of the basics which her teacher possessed and was able to convey to the class.

She was reminded of an old Richard Feynman quote.  [i]If you can't explain something simply enough for an 8 year old, you don't understand it properly[/i].  She was already aware of the basics and her own classification.  And reading between the lines, was able to discern that this was how Hyperion must have rendered so many of th others powerless.  Her own abilities had been significantly dampened, but perhaps a greater familiarity with their use was why she was still able to reach out into the humm and pick up the numerous devices and vehicles that existed on the plain.  However faint, and even if there was nothing of use there for her to combat the terrorist with.

So it looks like they'll be working less with applications for their own specific powers, and more on manipulating the HZE particles which provide them their powers themselves.  Made sense.  Nobody could claim this wasn't practical, given recent events.

She put on a form-fitting A.R. Suit and looked around the assembled group for a partner, considering who could potentially be a good match, when Ariel asked whether they should pair up.

She was an elemental, with power over the flow of water.  Adie wondered if in many ways, her exerting that power felt similar to when she tapped in to the flow of the humm.

In Adie's mind it seemed to make sense as a quality pairing.  Two women, who work with the flow of things, finding a way to basically control the flow of HZEs between them.  They'd probably show the rest of these kids up.

[color=lime]"That sounds great.  Yes.  Exoteric-Electromagnetic.  You're Elemental, right?  Let's show the rest of them how it's done!"[/color]
