As Beelze's hallucinatory powers took hold of Kevin's mind, he just blinked. "Shape-shifting again, or did Vlad just pump you full of the serum they mixed up for me as well?" he queried. As Beelze headed towards Cam, he stepped after him. "I suppose if you can hold that form and keep the strength it gives you, that's neato and all, but it's not going to cut if it's only temporary. Besides, exercise is fun. Endorphins and all that. That's all I had to say." He didn't seem particularly frustrated or impatient. He gave a nod before he returned to his position around the front of the procession heading for the gym.

Kevin's smile spread again. Though he felt compelled to wrap an arm around the man, he felt it wouldn't be appropriate. Instead, he kept his hands in his pockets. "Good on you, Vlad. I appreciate it a ton." he chirped. "As for helping the others out? Sure thing. Not to be hard on them or anything, but I really see what you mean by many of the others not being in shape. I'd be glad to help remedy that in any way I can, sir."

If Kevin felt any embarrassment after his demonstration/performance, it certainly didn't seem to show as he quietly complied with Vlad's instructions. "To the gym, huh? I hope you've got something heavy enough to actually strain me this time. Say, an M1 Abrams, or something." he joked as he followed the lead of the guards. He wasn't sure if he truly was ready to lift an entire tank, but his point was true enough. His enhancements had made gym sessions pretty dull. Maybe Vlad had something more challenging in mind this time.

He pricked his ears up as he heard Beelze talk to Limbo. Kevin had reason to be quite interested in the both of them.

Kevin spun about as he heard the slight peep of a soft voice off in some other corner of the room. He leaned over the back of his chair to get a closer look at him. It occurred to Kevin that he hadn't even noticed the arrival of this one. The nature of his augmentations fine tuned his senses, but this boy had completely slipped by without his notice. "I guess I really do need those next phases, huh? he mumbled to himself with slight dejection. He watched with keen interest as Limbo introduced himself, following it up by his vanishing act. Another shadow manipulator? At least the surprise had worn off the second time, but Roxy hadn't actually taken the time to demonstrate it as this guy did. Her powers could be completely different, for all he knew.

It at last came to be Kevin's turn to introduce himself. "Hey y'all. I'm Kevin Hutchins. I'd love to wrap things up there, as I don't think I'm such a big deal, but I suppose I gotta give you more to go on, huh?" he smiled. "Look, I'd love to show off my powers and all, but I just can't think of any way to demonstrate them without breaking all the nice furniture you guys have in here, heh." he explained as he rubbed the back of his neck. After a moment of thought, he snapped his fingers, indicating that an idea had come to him, then stood up. He then proceeded to recite the entirety of the Battle Hymn of the Republic with lightning swiftness, compressing what would have ordinarily taken about five minutes into what felt like just one, without taking a single breath or slipping up even once. Despite the ridiculousness of how his horrible rendition sounded, he remained entirely straight faced. When a moment passed after the completion of his "singing", he finally burst into laughter. "Haha, hoh boy, really sorry about the assault on your ears there. But it's the best I could think of! You see, I've been given superhuman endurance, strength, speed, and so on. Very hard to get me winded, as shown by my butchering of that song. I'm a short ass, I know, but just never challenge me to an arm wrestle, that's all I'm saying." he explained, then spread a broad grin. "I'm looking forward to working with each and every one of you." he concluded as he sat back down.

I'm really enjoying this so far, haha.

Kevin could only utter a slight sigh at Roxy's aggressive response to Cam. Things already weren't looking so great as far as unit cohesion goes. "Maybe Vlad knows how to whip things into shape" he pondered optimistically. Kevin noticed Roxy's stare at the foreign boy, and inwardly wondered if she was thinking the same things as him. When Roxy explained the gifts Vlad had seen to outfitting with her, he blinked. Shadow manipulation? Was such a thing even possible? Out of all of the things he had heard since his new life on the facility, this had to be the strangest so far. There were still things to get used to, it appeared.

Then there was that other boy again. He figured at least one person in the room could understand him, and so let him continue without any further interruptions. Resigning to the situation, he folded his arms and huffed. He just hoped there'd be a translated transcript later. Unable to comprehend a word that was said to him, he was left only with his expression, tone and body language to go on. "Is he mocking me?" he thought. He didn't even seem puzzled by this point, and even his brief spark of frustration quickly faded. He was just stone faced now. There really wasn't much he could do. "Not my circus. Not my monkeys." he muttered under his breath, finishing with a sigh.

He wasn't left with all that much time to ruminate on this mystery, as apparently many more were in store for him. Alarmed, he got up out of his chair as the new face barged into the room. "Robotic... teddy bears?". His eyebrows raised. His confusion only intensified as he suddenly saw... his older brother? David was stood where the sudden interloper once was. His appearance was very similar to Kevin's, only older, taller. He looked as if he had just stepped out of the photograph he kept in his room, camouflaged service uniform and all. He was stunned. He couldn't manage much but to shakily shift his arm into a salute, his eyes wide and his mouth pressed into a flat line.

As a moment of this passed, reason finally kicked in, dissipating his confusion. "Oh... right. Shapeshifter. Haha. Good one." he grinned. "Good one" he repeated as he pointed to Beelze, his grin broadening. As he returned to his seat he kept this pointed figure up, wiggling it as he chuckled. "Hoooh boy" he sighed in amusement as he reclined, returning to a relaxed posture.

Welcome aboard! Though my head is flooded with possible responses to your latest post, hahah.

Introduction time, oh boy. Kevin shifted about to focus his attention on "flower girl". He listened along intently. "Cameron, huh?", he mentally noted. "Eh... Cam.", he quickly added, correcting himself. Though he wasn't particularly phased by her threat, being a war veteran, it'd be polite to remember to call her by the name she wanted to be known as, he figured. Kevin just wanted things to go smoothly, after all. He wanted things to work. He allowed himself to crack a grin as she demonstrated her powers to the group, even shifted back slightly. "Pretty damn cool!" he thought. "Explains the whole flower thing, too..."

His head then turned to the new voice. He squinted in concentration as he tried to understand. Then the true nature of the situation quickly occurred to him, and as soon as it did, he raised his hand. Without waiting for Vlad to acknowledge him, he began to talk, a hint of exasperation in his voice. "With all due respect, sir, isn't the goal of this program to make super soldiers to defend -America-?" he questioned, thudding his desk slightly at that last word for emphasis. "I mean, if they can talk English as well, that's swell, really swell, but I think coordination will be a bit, eh, impacted, if we can't understand each other, you know?" he added with a sheepish grin, either bottling his feelings up successfully, or calming down.

Why thank you! Hey there.

Hey there. Sorry for disappearing during the last thread. I'll see what I can do about this one, though. Would bringing back my goober serpent god from the last thread be okay? I'd be perfectly fine either way.
