The Heroes of Beacon

I love it.

Meanwhile, with both Buried and Undying gone, Bridget and Abel are up for joining a team at the OP's discretion.

The Heroes of Beacon

I was confused for a moment there as well. Then I started work on a unique Grimm CS


Name - Gryphon
Abilities - Naturally, the Gryphon can fly. Aside from carrying hapless opponents into the air, the beast can also attack from above in a lethal swoops, pitting the combination of its full weight and maximum speed -thus, its inertia- into rending a target limb from limb.
Behavior - Smarter than most Grimm, the Gryphon is a proud, solitary beast. It possesses the characteristics of vanity and self-interest, often attacking other Grimm if they have something it wants. Curiously, it also seems to possess some instinct for self-preservation, and may yield if soundly beaten in battle. Once its pride is wounded such, it may even allow the individual who triumphed over it to ride it, though like all wild things it is difficult to control and may fight back given enough time.
Color - Gunmetal Gray

By the time Abel turned away from the silken mess to face his partner and acknowledge her, Bridget was already in the tree. After a few moments wasted scanning the branches and scarlet leaves above, he exhaled deeply and turned back to stare into the webs. He absently reached out with the tip of the Ampere to sever one of the threads when he suddenly recoiled, having just remembered an extremely poignant piece of information from the Grimm studies at Pallisade: while he didn't remember the name of the spider monsters, he dimly remembered that they could feel any tugging on their webs and would come running en masse to sort it out. Picturing dozens of huge spiders leaping from the gloom at him caused Abel to back up a few feet from the webbing. The hairs on the back of his neck and hands stood on end.

Fortunately, he hadn't long to wait. In no time Bridget was back from her treetop excursion and had relayed her new information. “Sure, sure. Love caves.” An overly genuine undertone was present in his voice; it seemed that forsaking spiderwebs for the dank dark of some cavern truly tickled his fancy. “Good thing you saw that it opened up near your station; otherwise we mighta run straight into a dead end. Just so you know, don't touch those webs. The Grimm can feel them moving.” The butt of the Ampere lay on the ground, and his hand rested on its hilt. It made a workable walking stick since it weighed just as much on his back as it did on his hand—plus, he still felt uneasy, as if he were being watched. After received indication from Bridget about which direction the cave lay, the pair launched into a brisk walk.

They weren't the only ones on the move, however. Between the forking trunk of a lichen-strewn tree fifty feet away clung a mammoth, dark mass. Having blended into the shadows perfectly thanks to its coloration, the creature managed to avoid detection by the humans, even Bridget's semblance since she hadn't used it during her scouting. As its prey moved away, the huge beast followed through the trees, lumbering quietly despite its massive size. The Ursa Major was on the prowl, a thousand pounds of muscle, ragged fur, and insatiable hunger.

I sent Shadowcatcher a PM two days ago, asking about the RP. I received no response, which is regrettable. As far as I am concerned, Irish is now the OP.

So yay for Irish.

Rather than pushing forward with Nevin, Abel opted to remain at the back of the group. Even given his lack of total competence in terms of social interaction, he could feel the blonde's discomfort radiating like heat from a microwave. Clearly this was a major introvert—the hardest kind of people to be around. As such, he unwittingly gave off the impression of recalcitrance to the students around him. His hands, hanging awkwardly, folded across his chest.

Aurelia? He had to strain himself to hear. A pretty name, entirely representative of the rest of her; a more creative person might have drawn parallels between the willowy teenager and some flower. It was almost a relief when the conversation tipped back to Nevin. After the other boy excused himself to prepare for bed, Abel decided that it was time to pipe up. “This early? Gonna be a while before the sun goes down. I'll keep lookin' around for now.” An invitation for Aurelia to join him died on his lips. If she wilted before Maggie and Nevin, he -the largest and probably scariest of the group- would do more to frighten her than to comfort her.

Still, it was hard to deny those protective instincts. A moment of hesitation passed, during which Nevin abruptly left and Abel uncomfortably scratched his gills. “Well...tag along if you like.” He acknowledged Maggie with a nod before following Nevin's example by walking away. Rather than his counterpart, he headed down a nearby walkway, this one winding around the building. He successfully resisted the urge to turn his head and stare at Aurelia.

So let's be having some postings, ja?

“Mhm.” Abel grunted in agreement with Bridget's words. Having no real clue where to go, he did suppose the train was a better option. What else would be it be for but to transport students? Surely an area that a prestigious combat academy used for training wouldn't allow some random locomotive to barrel through it every now and again, endangering students? Or was that the point?

Her comment about his impetuousness went unregarded as he responded to her last statement instead. “Too true. I'm all for a good fight, and Beowolves are pretty much made of plasticine anyway, but part of being a protector is not pushing your nose into bad business.” Perhaps he had mixed his metaphors, but the point still stood. If this girl wanted to know exactly what he had meant by 'protector', he might very well have a conversation on his hands. He watched the gouge left upon his partner by the Beowolf he'd landed on disappear, Bridget's aura healing her at a remarkable rate. Her bow signified to him that he could goof around a little just as she did; he released the Ampere and span it around using his semblance, flourishing it before attaching it to his back. The electricity that arced between his fingers and the metal shaft was more than obvious to his fellow student, though compared to him moving the weapon without touching it, the tiny lightning bolts were nothing interesting. “You got it.”

A few peaceful minutes later, Abel and Bridget had left the scarlet copse and giant whetstone in their dust. The region of the forest they now entered seemed a little wilder than the basin where everyone had entered; the trees were thicker, the grass longer, and the shadows more menacing. It wasn't until they approached a canopy-high tangle of what looked like webbing that Abel's apprehensions started to show. “Looks like spiderweb,” he observed, arms crossed. The two stood around thirty feet away from where the silky spread began. Beyond the silvery threads the way was darker and more ominous, particularly when he considered how large the spinners of said webs would have to be. From that same direction, however, came a distant thundering noise. “What do you think, Bridge? Sounds like the train isn't too far away. Must be nearing your station. We could power through this mess or try and find a way around."

Go ahead. I was pretty much waiting for Killa to post or you to move us into a new situation.
