Heidi stood over Shawn, and offered a hand to help him up. She'd watched his attempt. 'Carefully' wasn't really a word that applied to Heidi because as long as she saw anything, she could look back on the memory and pay attention to it in a much detail as she wanted.

"Your hand slipped towards the end, there. It was just a momentary lapse in concentration. Absorbing the energy was a smart move given the circumstances, but I think you should practice this in the Danger Room, not outside."

Once she helped him up, she just stood next to him awkwardly for a while, before saying; "You don't have to try and get this right all by yourself, you know."

I'm not sure if Taleste needs a bad guy, since she might also be a shifty character. I don't have a plan for her. I just know her backstory and I'm winging her future from here. Her becoming friends with Arex would be an interesting development though.
@Dark Light

I definitely am.
@Azereiah@PlatinumSkink@Tickout

I just want Taleste to talk to a few people before the next action-y bit starts, so that she has some bonds with the crew.
@PlatinumSkink

Taleste was slightly relived at Lataniva's comment. It did mean that replacing the fallen on this ship, while common, wasn't so routine a course of action that it wasn't worth commenting on. There's a difference between dangerous missions and suicide missions after all. Taleste liked dangerous. She had the cunning to survive most situations, and honestly, got a thrill out of some good old danger once in a while.

"yeh, I met one of your kind before," she answered, "Ee was a big, serious whun. A lot less chatty than you, that's fur sure. As fur me, well, I'm a thief. I steal things, or just sneak aroun' and kill whuns if thers nothin to steal. Don't worry. I know what yer thinking and I won't. I never steal from crew. That'd be really stupid."

This is fairly normal casual rp speed, tbh
@Yuuta

I'm okay either way.

Tal heard the PA announcement, and groaned. After standing around in a busy market street for an hour or two, all she wanted to do now was either keep sitting down or just go to her room and sleep, but she did want to introduce herself to the crew and get to know who she'd be spending the foreseeable future with. Plus, they were her crew now. She couldn't just leave them to do all the work. She was one of them now, and it was her duty to chip in. She stood up, stretched, yawned and then headed back down to the docking bay.

On the way there, Taleste saw her first crew member besides the captain so far, and they were a Dalentian. The thief had only ever known one other Dalentian in the multiracial ghetto she grew up in, and he had been a very intense, scary guy. Good fighter, though. Taleste was glad there was another member of this warrior race in her new crew, though they probably wouldn't be good friends or anything. Then again, the other guy might have just been a particularly sour, humourless Dalentian.

Taleste offered out her hand to the white-skinned woman, and spoke in her strange, crossbred dialect. Though her accent was thick, and very different from the rest of the humans on the crew, Lataniva might actually find it easier to understand due to the non-human roots of it. "Heyhoo, I'm the new crewmember. Mah name's Taleste. Yeur a Dalentian, arntcha?"
Tsuya was slightly nervous all day. For all the time she' been the gym assistant here, she'd been told what to do. Demonstrate this, help the students with that. She was always in a position of responsibility, but this afternoon would be her first day in a position of any kind of authority. She did not want to screw this up. It was her time to shine, and if she ever wanted to be promoted to gym teacher, this was the moment she had to prove she could do it.

Gym class in the morning had been uneventful. There was not a lot to do as they were doing track and field. She just had to watch and make sure nobody gets hurt of needs assistance, and this was a fairly senior class so they never did. It gave her plenty of time to think about Volleyball. Tsuya played Volleyball when she was in high school, but then, just like now, she just did what she was told by her coach. She didn't know much about volleyball tactics. All she knew was the rules. She wasn't even entirely sure why she had been made Coach this year, but she wasn't about to let an opportunity slip by!

Tsuya waited behind the Volleyball booth as the lunch bell rang. To her surprise, not even five minutes after, when students had just started arriving, one girl already approached her.

@Deadlyrose9641

"Hello, Amy," answered the Gym Assistant, "Tryouts take place after classes are over, in the gym hall. If you'd just like to sign your name on the sheet."

Tsuya studied the girl. She seemed quite timid as a first impression and didn't look very athletic at first glance though she could surprise her. Tsuya had been surprised at the abilities of seemingly fragile-looking girls too often to ever write anybody off.

"So," she started, striking up a conversation to try and bring the girl out of her shell a little, "How are you finding Mino High so far?"

Heidi sat down at watched Shawn. Of course, she immediately recognised the same move that she had told him to go for. She knew there was a large margin for error, but she okayed the plan anyway, partly because of trust for Shawn, and more importantly, partly because she couldn't handle the pressure or responsibility. The decision to not command everyone to follow one of her many risky plans because if it failed, it would be all her fault...She'd stepped down, and the failure was still her fault. In fact, doubly so because she didn't use her mutation to help in any way when she could have.

Heidi didn't know how she could fix this before the next mission. Maybe a chat with Booker would be in order. Or maybe now she'd seen a real mission, she might already be better at knowing what to expect. Since that day, she had come up with a couple of plans that were now as risk free as possible, but the best one still had only an 81% success rate, and took several hours to come up with, including the research into brand new areas of physics to her, as well as the simulation records of every student on their team. Maybe she could adapt them if they ever run into that guy again. It was all she could really do.
