@Progenitus Hardlight sims, Virtual Reality tech ala Sword Art Online, teleportation devices and practical laser weaponry. Of course, do note that a lot of this new tech is still expensive and very hard to afford regularly.

Academy of Noble Arms

@Progenitus a lot of tech, even in our world, was due to the outbreak of war. It's not surprising at all to see that as an explanation for the sudden emergence of new tech, so go ahead I'd say.

Academy of Noble Arms

@Progenitus yeah, technology is slightly more advanced - I say slightly, but it actually depends on the field - so think Twenty Minutes Into The Future kind of thing. Though basically this just means that as long as it's plausible, we'll have it on :D For the sake of being flexible.

As for your other question, well, we'll see what happens :)

Academy of Noble Arms

@Progenitus well, we are waiting for a few more guys to post, so I don't mind waiting. If you are late though, it should be fairly easy to jump after the timeskip! Speaking of . . .

@The ghost in black @Eklispe @Jay Kalton are you guys gonna post or are you good to go?

Academy of Noble Arms

@Altasaire soon, brother, soon xD

@TheWildBunnii Is Catalina really going to risk another meeting with the Director, except less pleasant? xD If you can, just have Catalina respond to her without resulting in someone's immediate harm, unless you really wanna go for it and beat the shit out of Abbey anyway?

Meruin got up to the sound of Reina yelling, and walking groggily outside her room. She found Reina naked, her dignity separated from the world only by a single blanket. Walking next to her, she looked down the window at what Reina was yelling at, and raised a brow.

"Lovers quarrel?" she questioned, before narrowing her eyes at the other girl. "I do hope you did not do anything in my room. I sleep quite deeply so I wouldn't notice if you had sex there, but all the same, it's an unpleasant idea . . ."

Before the other girl could respond, Meruin made her way to the rooms refrigerator. She hated mornings for the sole fact that she was always too hungry to focus upon waking up. It was distracting and demanded immediate attention, which meant she couldn't cook an acceptable meal or walk towards a good cafeteria booth, so she always had to eat pre-readied food.

Taking out a whole carton of milk and a can of beans, Meruin drank straight out of the box for all of ten seconds before throwing the emptied carton into a nearby bin. Gripping the can, Meruin transmuted the can into a tin bowl with the beans already heated inside. Using a spoon to eat out the bowl, Meruin wiped her mouth and left the room.

"I'm leaving now, please stay out of my room if you decide to have sex again," she called out to Reina rather loudly, "also, use protection. I really cannot stress enough how dangerous pregnancy is at your age." Leaving out the fact that she was the younger than Reina and the youngest in their room, Meruin looked quite satisfied with her advice.

---

The next day, Meruin left her Exorcism class. Miss Juliann was certainly a strict taskmaster, but Meruin didn't mind. Her lessons were always easy to understand and always got to the important parts without dawdling, which is exactly what Meruin wanted in a lesson. Granted, sometimes she went off the rails, but she could ignore that in light of the everything else.

Now, she had some time to go to her dorm room and sleep before she was scheduled to begin her experiments. She had to speak with Iravis, though; she had a few questions and a request for her. So she'd sleep first for a bit, then look for Iravis afterwards . . .

"Or maybe not."

Meruin looked ahead of her and saw the Phoenix in question. Well,

"Iravis," she called out, her dull voice cutting through the dorms quiet. "I wanted to talk with you. Do you have the time?"

@TheWildBunnii Bunii wait! Abbey was not going to attack Catalina! She's not even allowed to xD

Please edit.

@Altasaire you'll have to bear with me here, because my answers might confuse or offend you since the only religions I've studied in-depth are Christianity, Buddhism and Paganism - I'd like to study Islam, but I can't get my hands on Koran (not allowed) and I don't have any friends that are Muslim that are confident enough to explain the theology behind their beliefs -_-

Q1: Most religions have taken it in stride - about as well as the rest of the world has, anyway - as most major religions have moved past the magic = evil principle. Christiandom see's it as a blessing from God, much like everything else, and Buddhism sees it as another challenge to let go of earthly attachment, or else as a guide to how it can be achieved. Islam is much more divided on this: Some see it as the Christians and Jews do, as a blessing from God that should be respected and used to glorify Him, while others see it as the herald of apocalypse, with the massive devastation rogue Arms Masters are known to have committed. Well, everyone's pretty divided anyway. It's a lot more complex than what I've said of course, but I figure a summary should do for now unless you want to discuss it more on the IRC.

Q2: Very few terrorist groups are similar to our own. Noble Arms were discovered before terrorism became "mainstream" so to speak, so they've managed to grow with Noble Arms. All in all, there are different organizations that follow their own agenda, much like today, and the Hammer of the Masters are just more notable because of the amount of Arms Masters they have on their side. Not to mention they have 2 A-class Arms Masters.

Also, please get a response up so I can continue on xD
