Trying to get a post up but the internet has decided it doesn't want to work with me. Hopefully I can have this up sometime soon.

@KoL

Yeah he's doomed.

@Cerces22

Fiiiine. Guess he'll have to develop and grow as a person on his own like a normal character. Unless... *glances at the wolf.* Nah, save that for any werewolf characters.

Roland:

@Lonewolf685

Wouldn't that also kill him just more painfully? Point is spiders are scary.

@Silver Carrot

Yeah, that they are so hungry they could eat one.

@Silver Carrot

Poor Sonia? We haven't even established if Duncan is getting out alive! Do you know what female spiders do with their mates?

Roland Nightbreaker

Roland stood motionless with sparks flying from his head as he tried to make sense of what Circe had told him. He understood the first part. He and her were clearly the targets of Reiko’s call out, so it stood to reason them being on the same team was no accident. The rest, however, caught him completely off guard. She wanted him to be team captain? Sure he’d take the job, could they get the others on board? And hold on, what was she saying? They were going to tell people they were dating, even though they actually weren’t, but it wasn’t off the table just not an option currently? Girls are confusing.

“Let me get this straight,” He said after a few moments of processing what he’d be told. “You want us to pretend to be a couple so people aren’t suspicious about our time together? Great. Except what happens when someone starts asking questions? Like you said, we’re study partners, we haven’t exactly been socializing and getting to know each other. Not to mention we don’t really like a couple in the first place. If we’re not careful this could really blow up in our faces.”

Though Roland still had doubts about the plan, they would have to wait. Just as Circe opened the door to leave, Ceiran and Lumen appeared in the doorway. From what they were asking about what they were doing, especially Lumen, it seemed they had tried to catch the two in a compromising position of sorts. Huh. Maybe pretending to be a couple could work after all?

“What? I mean, uh, yeah. We were just talking. About stuff. You know. Stuff.” Roland answered. His face turned a light red as his eyes snapped away from Lumen’s. Maybe pretending to be a couple could work, if Roland wasn’t terrible at it.

Luckily, the very same person inquiring about them changed subjects to team captain. Surprisingly, he too nominated Roland, while doing some sort of fire drawing. That meant Roland had majority. “Oh, thanks. Glad to be chosen.” He stated almost instantly he shifting from embarrassed teen, to proud commander. “Well, let’s not waste anymore time. U team, move out!”

Kromric Battlebrow

Kromric wouldn’t have to wait long for his students to show. Thanks to Tholl’s declaring their departure time, most of the students had scampered off to find their teachers. It wasn’t long before their team had assembled ready and waiting; all but Duncan who had run off to grab some weaponry. As the centaur galloped back, Kromric pulled out a pocket watch and checked the time.

”Don’t worry, Mr. Chiron. You got here just in time.” He said closing the watch with a flick of his wrist. ”But perhaps next time you should check with us first. If you think five minutes is nary enough time to grab your gear then you’re right. If I am correct then Miss Lotte has already packed your bags and gathered any equipment needed for the mission. We’re not about to send students out defenseless to meet time constraints.” One could find humor in a dwarf under 5 feet lecturing a towering centaur, but to point such a thing out would not be a wise choice anyone.

With everyone assembled and ready, Kromric looked to Tholl and nodded. ”Alright, I think we’re good to go.”

Kromric's post is done but Roland's might have to wait until I get off work. Worst case I'll post them separately to not hold both teams up.

Hikari Academy

This is my take on it:

Roland would be great at making snap decisions and wouldn't buckle under fear or pressure. The negative of this of course is most his plans wouldn't be too thought out and his more straight forward approach to things might get them into more trouble.

Lumen seems like he would be the opposite. His plans would be well thought out and he might even have a more creative approach to problems. But his reluctance and doubt in himself might keep him back from making fast calls and could lead to others doubting him as well.

Circe seems to know her shit and is confident about that. She wouldn't have a problem giving an order in any situation, but her distrust of others along with not being the most personable could lead to in team conflict or disobedience from the rest.

Ceiran I think is close to Lumen in the 'thinks things out' camp, but his lack of control with the twitch demon could really cause some problems if it took over at the wrong time.

In the end, it's gonna be a heck of a ride for whoever gets the title.

@Sync

As far as I can tell that's the case. This is also based on KoL's statement:

You can choose who will be the captain of the students' part of the teams and assign team names if you are feeling specially inspired.

In fact, it would be very appreciated if you did so.

@KoL

@Cerces22

They won't have a choice if the other two decline like Lumen.
