Alexia
Alexia nodded. "I will answer to the best of my abilities. But to be honest, I just...."
She shook her head. "Never mind. What's the question?"
Candor
"Basically, yes." Candor replied bluntly. "Oh, don't look at me like that. Centuries are boring if you don't find something to amuse yourself with. I happen to like messing with Anomalies."
"Granted, I have something else I need to do before I leave."
A flash of light, and on both Jack and Lucas's hands apperad a marble-sized blue stone that seemed to be mafe of solid Aura.
"I'll tell you what those are next time. Don't lose them. Goodbye!"
The Ultimate One vanished.

In those five minutes of quiet, Yun had decided to head down to the kitchens. Right when Sylvia broke the silence, the door opened, and Yun walked in carrying a tray laden with 5 mugs of hot chocolate.
"Uh...I saw there was hot chocolate downstairs and thought you guys might like some." He said, setting the tray down on the desk.
...dammit, Bell. Hope briefly considered just waving this off and pretending the question was of no importance, but she had to ask.
"Picking up video games for folks to play." She answered her teammate, shrugging a little. "Any help with that's appreciated."
"As for my question..." Hope briefly looked at Alexia before focusing on the depth of the darkened corridor. "...why did you risk your life, jumped in front of me to stop me? I've almost cut you down back then. I'd be back to normal once Arcana's far enough away, too..."
Alexia
Alexia was silent for a moment. "....Because...when I saw that look on your face....I thought you'd end up doing something you'd regret. I didn't want that kind of burden on you, you've suffered enough."
She gave a slight smile. "...You're my friend, Hope. I don't like seeing my friends in pain."
Tartarus
At that moment, the door slid open and Death walked in, scythe in one hand and Scroll in the other.
"Forgive my tardiness, but I have been forming a plan of attack."
Beacon
"...thanks." Hope smiled a bit before shaking her head. Yes, that was so Alexia. "Sorry for touching the subject again. I just... it gnawed at me for a while now, I guess."
"In any case, let's get rolling. Something tells me you're not gonna be the only one who doesn't know about video games." Smiling to herself Miss Remington opened the door to team ARBI's room and beelined towards her drawer, planning on finding that dusted Gamestation.
...I just hope it really is in there and not somewhere else entirely.
Her right wing popped up.
"I love chocolate!" said Silvia excitedly/

With Alexia and Hope gone, Noa was left with the others. She moved again, putting that guy with the thick accent between her and Ieria. Right now, her anger was starting to build up again. Video games? Screw those. The brawler preferred sparring by far!
"Ahm goin' back ta sleep if none o' ya wanna tussle." She shot a rather pointed look at the snake before standing up again and moving to leave the room. Would she follow?
Charisse - Grounds
Charisse's eyes widened as she found herself dropping to the ground. Thankfully for her, she had only been carrying Ai on one side of her body, so the damage of the sudden increase in weight was only done on her right arm.
She swore loudly, and gritted her teeth. "Fine! Fine! Go!" She let go of Ai, and immediately tried to grip her arm, perhaps in an attempt to keep it intact.
"Gimme your pants.. and now your other pants"(Ai) Grounds
Ai fell onto the grass uncerimoniously and backed up.
Nice one. Right after getting discharged for messing up her arms again.
"I didn't —"
What did I tell you? There you go again. Qiu Hu aren't cut out for relationships.
She stood, trying to shake off the derision of her inner voice. She looked away, clearly ashamed.
"Sorry," she said, briskly. She turned on her heel and strode off towards the dorm.
Charisse - Grounds
And they were just healed too! Charisse rolled around on the ground, in pain. After a minute of violent flailing, she got up, and wandered off to the infirmary.
It's all my fault of course. It always is, isn't it? She thought to herself, gripping her bloody arm. She'd have to find someway to explain this so that Ai didn't come out in a bad light. Maybe she could explain it as falling from something.
She gripped her arm tighter, as if to will the wound away. I'm so stupid...

Yun grinned warmly as he handed out the steaming drinks, happy that his team was no longer moping. "Ask and you shall receive, Naima." He chuckled as he handed her a mug, and settled down on his bed with his own hot chocolate.
The last mug was covered to keep it warm, in case Sophie woke up.

Ieria noticed Noa was looking at her as she left, talking about fighting as she did so. "I think I shall pass. It is too early." She replied with a shake of her head. "And I would like to unwind some before any more fights."
"I am nature's weapon. You are unfit to carry on your species, and I shall ensure that you do not do so!" - Charles Darwin, XCOM SniperHow have I been?
How about the hate-lust I've been feeling for Ayers?
His eyes flickered over to Silvia, Yeah, I think enough people have been allowed to peer there as it is.
There's the whole, "Oh, did you know I'm actually a high-functioning psychopath?" thing.
Not only is that now related to the topic we are trying to avoid, I think I've been avoiding telling anyone about that too.
I told Pius.
Pius is just as blasted crazy as I am.
He didn't put a little boy into a coma.
Grogdamnit, what can I bring up? What have I been doing lately that isn't a dark and terrible secret?
Giant Magical Kittens?
That isn't a dark and terrible secret.
"Have I... ever cooked food for any of you?"
"Hm?" Yun raised an eyebrow. "All things considered, I'm doing alright."
"What about you?" He asked Naima. "Managed to get that date with Ghatz?"
Rufus' question seemed a little random, but maybe it was because everyone was trying to avoid yesterday's events. "I don't think you have."

Silvia was silent for a full five minutes.
"I just wish I could get some rest... Forget about today." she said.
