"What do you mean?" Silvia asked with concern for her friends mental health.

Alright sounds like a plan." The rocker replied happily. And yeah the grapple training has been going much better since you gave me those pointers." Medus rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment at the memory of his first trial run.
"And Ai, don't feel to bad about not being able to do more. Hell I had to threaten Alexia just to get her to agree to movie night."
Movie night
"Alright, alright quit yer' bitching." Medus complained as he played the movie, ignoring Lexi's comment about Immortal II like the heresy that it was.
"Yeah, they just tend to show up Alexia, can't stop 'em worth a damn."

-dramatic music ensues-"...oh my Dust, Jack, I didn't need you to remind me of this." With a displeased grumble Hope lightly punched Reisenroter on the shoulder. "And that is why Khayla is not allowed to go anywhere close near movie selection. Like, where did she get that anyway, at Atlesian black market?"
Wincing a little at Alexia's words, she decided to not comment on them. Just... drop this. Don't talk back.
"Oh! Black Illuminations!" Ayers said in recognition towards Jack. "I actually way preferred the one about the game developers and the guy who's like an intern for'em, or maybe the..." His recognition turned to horror. "There's one hwut took place at a water park resort a lot like the one we went to..."
One Month Ago
"The old legends of warriors who would fall into unstoppable rages are exaggerated but based on truths," Rufus ambled on, "Modern medical texts refer to this as Acute Hyper-Aggressive Mania Syndrome but in olden times it, and those who suffered from it, were called the berserkergang. In olden times, the Snikersnax cultivated this trait and, to the delight of some of my elders, I managed to display it.
"I was seven years old at the time."
"So it wasn't depression, it was another mental illness that drove you crazy?" she asked.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing."It was what I did under the influence of it that drove me to despair," Rufus said, "I was seven years old when I flew into my first berserk rage.
"I was seven years old when I beat a young boy my age into a coma he has never woken from since.
"And to this day I remember it vividly. I remember the exultation I felt," He raised up his hands and clenched them tightly into fists, "As his flesh and his bones were smashed beneath my fists."
His hands lowered, "To this day, I remember that I am a monster."
"I think I might have watched that one. Dunno why, but my dad's a big fan of it." Hope shrugged indifferenly once again.
Turning her attention to Remus, Miss Remington spoke up. Well, wanted to spoke up, before a coughing fit caught her mid-word. "...hey." She called out weakly to him once it became a past. "Protectors of the Universe, if I'm not mistaken."
The news report surprised her briefly. Alexia's violent reaction surprised her even more. Then again, this isn't Alexia that I loved just a few months ago... Shaking the bitter thought out of her head, Hope snuggled into the couch, passively watching.

"That's awfull... It really wasn't your fault. It's foolish to teach something like that to children." Silvia said.
Present
"So you want me to do a flying- I mean flyer right Rufous?" Silvia asked.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing."...I must admit, I know nothing of that Alexandros guy, other than that he's apparently everywhere on the news these days." Hope droned in her usual monotone, watching Medus fumble with the TV set.
"You don't kick TV's." Miss Remington glared at Jack in a half-threatening stare. "You sit over them and repair them, carefully. Very carefully."

"Same here. Why do you have such a grudge against the guy, Alexia? I'd be happy if someone offered free medical care to the poor and elderly.", said the fedora-clad man.

"Never let anyone tell you that something is impossible." - Monty Oum, 1981-2015"He funded the organization that kidnapped Princess Alice her whole life, and he threw his daughter to scientists who experimented on her as a weapon," Pius replied. "We rescued Alice, Beth, and Carol from Luna, but we couldn't save Mia."

Allurand and surrounding world loading, 28%..."Fair enough. Already hating the guy." Hope nodded to Pius' explanation. "Though I imagine he has so much dosh that not even royalty can touch him." She theorized in response to Jack's question. "Also, how could I forget about that little fact, Mr. Reisenroter."

"Do you know a man named Francisco Steiner? He was a scientist. He took children, and turned them into weapons. Made them part machine, twisted their Aura, gave them a highly addictive drug."
Her face twisted in grief. "One of those children was my sister Alice. Steiner worked for Alexandros."
"And this so-called philantropist gave his own daughter to Steiner for experimentation!"
"Okay, now I officially hate the guy. Kidnapping children is something I can't stand to see.", Stormer said to Pius.

Alexia was genuinely confused. "...But I liked that movie. It was funny." She shrugged.
"...So, um, I thought this was just for our team, Medus. What happened?" She looked at the others. not that she was complaining...well, okay, she was complaining.
She looked at Hope. "...At least she's here."
