Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Weird how many Avril songs are on my playlist now.

@Guess Who

I've got all four albums and her singles. There's a wide range of moods to her music so it suits me any time.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Thank you. Both of you. And, coincidentally, I actually already have been doing what you suggested MMM. Have a playlist of around 22 songs that's slowly growing (which also made me realize that I don't have any music by Boston or Chicago on my phone and I need to fix that the next time I get some cash).

@Guess Who

Full of Grace
Give You What You Like

These are the songs I listen to when I feel like crap. Hope it helps.

Running from the World

@Scarifar I should mention that your character wouldn't be able to assimilate powers unless he was actually in the arena. Like even if he's watching the barriers would be dampening his ability to assimilate powers, so unless he was in the ring with the MIR leader he wouldn't be able to assimilate his powers.

You're like 60 something right?

Running from the World

@TheUnknowable The healing meta I mentioned is one of the sell outs that works for the Center. Essentially he's a guard that works in the infirmary.

Also I thought up a name for the Corporation: Veritas.

Outta curiosity though, how geezery's everybody here?

@Crimmy

I'm ancient at 18.

Speaking of having ready made mental defenses. I'm with Ryonara on this one. Just happening to have been trained by some level of telepath in case somebody with an incredibly rare semblance happens to attack her is really fortunate and specific.

@Silvan Haven

I'm not saying her defense are perfect but yes she has had training. If you actually read her bio it makes a lot more sense than it sounds with me just throwing it out there at a random juncture. The mental training wasn't the strangest or most extreme thing that her father forced her to do. There's more details on it in the team doc which will come out later. If it helps she's not perfect, she has a phobia of swimming from another of her father's extreme exercises.

I saw it before I posted, since I was mostly talking about the Grimm in the lake I don't think there is anything extremely relevant that needs altering but if you see something tell me.

@harinezumikouken I think I already told you she wasn't going to take it all too well. I mean she'll defend him to the last from anybody else but it won't stop her from kicking his ass.

Sapphire Rode - Airdocks

Sapphire rolled her eyes. She wasn't exactly surprised to know that Gren was aware of the significance of her last name. Fact was that she was surprised that more people didn't recognize it, especially at a school for hunters. Janus Rode was a known name here. She'd seen it on several awards and an old team photo from a long past graduate year. The fact that Gren went at her history so bluntly was a bit of a shock. She sort of thought the boar faunus had a bit more tact than that, though she probably wasn't the best person to be speaking of tact.

"You're right Gren..." Sapphire said looking out into the blackness of the lake. "I don't trust you. I don't know you, past the fact that you're a decent cook and a good fighter" which was admittedly high praise coming from Sapphire. "Nothing I've seen of you gives me any inclination that you're someone I should be confiding in." Sapphire turned to face him. There was an unusual fire in her eyes, something some would describe as wounded pride.

"There is something you should know though. You're not some tool in my arsenal, your my teammate which clearly means a lot more to me than it does to you. It means that you're my responsibility, it means that I have to look out for you and more than anything it means that we go through everything together. What it doesn't mean is that we're friends. That is earned. Being teammates means that when one of us is down the other three are there to pickup the pieces, it means that we have each others backs, first, last and always. But if it's not relevant to what we're doing at Beacon then it's none of your business. Unless it will effect how well we function as a unit then it's off limits. I let you have your secrets, and you leave mine alone."

Sapphire's concentration had slipped during her lecture of Gren. Normally she kept a vigilante eye on her surroundings at all times, searching for threats and targets. Now that she was done her surveillance returned to normal and the first thing it picked up was the other kid, Ebon staring at her with an evil eye. Sapphire tore one of the daggers from its sheath on her forearm and approached Ebon. "You got a problem?" She said in a voice that was deadly calm, the dagger's point pushing towards Ebon's neck, forcing him to take a couple steps back towards the cliff's edge to prevent being impaled. "Cause if you do, you better say it now." Sapphire snarled. She'd been all set to have a care free night but Gren had rather spoiled the mood with his talk about her family name.

Lakebed

The R-Types stirred something as they approached the pile of treasure. Shiro who was the only one of the four close enough to be detected was so full of bubbly enthusiasm and determination that it was almost impossible for the Grimm that lived deep inside the lake to get a good grasp on him. At least at the moment he lacked any sort of significant negative emotion that would draw its attention. The R-Types on the other hand were a different story, they were sending out an aura signal, presumably so that Ebon could detect them easily but that beacon combined with the fact that they were made of a rich alloy drew the beasts attention. This particular Grimm was old, old enough know to avoid humans on principle but still young enough that it would attack any that came near it. It used the metal it collected at the bottom of the lake as a sort of nourishment. It was an Ogdoad, an giant acid spitting frog, it ate the metal, using its acid to distill it down to basic elements which served to intensify the potency of the acid, a self fulfilling cycle. The more complex the metal the more desirably it appeared and the R-Types were at this moment looking like its next meal.

There was a loud grumbling roar from inside the underwater cave that Shiro was only now noticing. The rock shook under the weight of the creature and the water churned far more rapidly. A huge mass shoved itself through the opening of the cave and a long slippery tongue shot out snaring one of the R-Types on its barbed end. The drone thrashed and struggled but it was stuck. The Ogdoad pulled the tongue back inside its mouth presumably sending the R-Type down to be digested by the potent acid of its stomach. It screamed again agitating the water around it as it aimed for the second R-Type.
