Roxy immediately began to pay attention as the old man started getting everyone's attention in the crowd. At first she was annoyed by the fact that he was distracting from the show, but once she started hearing him explain that he was one of the people from the AAAT, her attitude changed and she began getting excited

Hearing the old man's words and warnings about how the test was extremely difficult and dangerous only served to hype Roxy up about the test even more than she already was. This test sounded like the most exciting thing she would ever do, and the thought of which got Roxy pumped up like crazy. Unable to hold in all her excitement, she leaped up in the air and let out an enthusiastic shout. "Challenge accepted! Bring it on old man, I can take ANYTHING this test can throw at me!!" Roxy shouted at the old man, as loud as ever

Arc Academy

Roxy finally noticed the strange man with the pipe, but didn't really give it much thought since she didn't see him mysteriously appear. Whatever, just some old dude with a pipe Roxy thought. Of course, she did think it was maybe a little weird how he seemed to be standing on the opposite end from where the crowd was, but Roxy still didn't think much of it

When robot girl asked for a volunteer for a whole new trick, Roxy wasted no time responding. Before robot girl could even finish her sentence, Roxy immediately shouted "Me!!" as she quickly grabbed at the deck and swiped a card from the deck all in half a second

@Hammerman I figured it would make more sense for Blight Bug to post first, since Gretchen's reaction would be the most important

Due to her facing the crowd and away from the sight, Roxy did not notice the mysterious man appearing out of thin air. Honestly, it would've been fairly likely that she wouldn't have noticed him even if she WAS looking at him either

Naturally, Roxy was incredibly impressed with robot girl's magic trick. She immediately started applauding and cheering loudly in response, not thinking at all about how she was right next to her and was probably screaming in her (and blondie's) ears. When the robot girl then asked if they wanted to see another trick, Roxy held her fist in the air. "Hell yeah! Let's see another one!!" She shouted, rather unsurprisingly

@Hammerman, I believe Gretchen only handed the cards to Roxy. I made the same mistake when I read the post as well

Arc Academy

Roxy watched in awe as the blonde haired girl performed her rather impressive feats. Aw man, that girl's entrance was WAY cooler than hers, Roxy thought to herself as she folded her arms in frustration. Roxy's feelings of jealousy only intensified when she heard blondie reveal her own goals and dreams. What did she just say? Was she challenging her? Who did she think she was, stepping into Roxy's territory like that? Roxy started to make a subtle sneer at blondie while looking at her from the corner of her eye

When robot girl asked Roxy about what she thought about what blondie had said, Roxy felt compelled to reply. She had to keep it cool though, she definitely didn't want to look like she was bothered by what she had said, after all. She gave a scoff in response. "Whatever, it's not like she'll ever be able to compete against me anyway!" Roxy said with a condescending tone along with a smirk

Suddenly, robot girl handed Roxy a deck of cards and asked her to look through the cards. Roxy nodded her head and started scanning through the deck very quickly, then handed them back barely a second later. "Done!" Roxy said, acting as if it was a competition

Arc Academy

The moment the robot girl picked her, Roxy promptly rushed toward the robot girl as if on cue. She forced her way through the sea of people standing in front of her, thoughtlessly pushing everyone out of her way and probably stepping on a few feet along the way, and made it to where the robot girl was standing. She then immediately took her place on the left side of the robot girl like she had asked Roxy to

When the robot girl asked Roxy to give her name, Roxy wasted no time immediately responding. She looked out to the audience and shouted 'The name's Roxy and...uhhh..." Roxy started, but then hesitated awkwardly once she realized she didn't give herself enough time to think of a fun fact about herself. After thinking about it for a second, she started to smirk and quickly took a wide-leg stance and pointed dramatically in the air. "...And a fun fact about me is...I'm gonna be the most famous and powerful person in the Arc Academy! Don't you forget it!!" Roxy shouted at the top of her lungs with great enthusiasm

Arc Academy

After a few seconds, Roxy eventually stopped cheering but still continued listening intently to the girl's words. When Roxy heard the girl say that she needed a volunteer however, her arm shot right back up and she immediately started shouting again. "Ooh, ooooh! Pick me! Pick me!!" Roxy shouted excitedly, waving her hand back and forth like crazy. She didn't even really know what she was volunteering for, but she was just so caught up in the moment she didn't really care. Despite all the energy Roxy was putting on display she was actually pretty physically exhausted, but she certainly wasn't going to show that

A couple yards away from the gathering, Roxy was rushing towards them. She was carrying her sweatshirt over her shoulder, and the bottles of water she had taken with her had been completely emptied. After her long and arduous journey through the desert lands of Orocos and not finding anything, Roxy had started to finally wonder whether or not this whole "Arc Academy" thing was just some kind of elaborate prank being played on her or something. However, when she finally caught the group of people gathered together, she immediately started running towards the crowd excitedly. "Whoohoo, I finally found it!" Roxy shouted energetically as she reached the crowd, pumping her fist in victory at the same time

A couple seconds later, A girl reached the front of the crowd and speaking to them all. Still full of excitement due to having finally found the AAAT, Roxy started cheering loudly at the girl's words. "Yeah! Whooo!" Roxy shouted into the crowd with great enthusiasm, not really paying attention to the fact that she was most likely the only one doing so
