ATMN: Rude Awakening

Ahyan snorted in response to Nemesis's attempt to awaken him. He rolled over, then fell off his bed. Thankfully, he was in the bottom bunk below Bao.

Groaning on the ground, wrapped up in bedsheets, Ahyan slowly decided to actually wake up.

"The sun's barely up.. why do I have to be?" he muttered, removing the constrictive sheets from his body. He dressed himself in the loose clothes he usually wore instead of his armor. They were mostly white, in order to reflect the light of the sun, but a few pieces had the same design that was on his town's flag as well as his armor. He secured another piece of cloth around his head as he usually did when not in his armor.

He stepped out of the ATMN dorm room, then spied Bao. "Morning, Bao!" he called out, painfully breaking the silence she loved. He moved over and sat down across from her.

Pulling out a notebook from somewhere within his clothes, he started scribbling down the events of the day before.

Ow

After a few minutes the world had stopped spinning, and Vasilos noted Sanfar had stopped to help him up. Reaching out, he grasped Sanfar's hand and let the man pull him up.

"Well. I don't suppose I'll be doing that again," he mused.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

ATMN

Bao cringed slightly at the sound of Ahyan's voice. She scrambled to sit up and adjusted her shirt—a simple white blouse with flowy wide sleeves (the fashion in Northern Vacuo?)—to cover her stomach. She pushed her back into the armrest of the couch and drew her knees up to her face, giving Ahyan a few furtive glances before she want back to reading her black, stitch-bound book. This time, she appeared to be markedly more invested in it than the one she'd been reading on the train.

"Zǎoshàng hǎo," she said. "Er, good morning."

ATMN

Ahyan nodded, only half hearing her greeting.

He wrote something down, then punctuated it with two underlines.

He raised his head, looked at Bao, then tapped his nose with the back of the pen he was using. "Hey, Bao... how do you feel about getting made our Team Leader?" he asked. He seemed ready to write down the answer the moment she spoke.

Bao didn't bother to look up.

"It's a responsibility I didn't ask for," she said. "But it suits me just fine. I do not like taking orders." From humans.

There was further scratching from pen on paper. "..doesn't like..taking..orders.." Ahyan muttered, underlining something else for emphasis.

He sat there looking pensively at his notebook for a moment. Then he started sketching something. Occasionally he would pause, look up at Bao, squint, then look back down and continue.

Gradually, Bao's posture returned to its former position, though at least this time her shirt remained in a dignified place. It didn't seem like Ahyan was going to ask about her book, so she held it up a little to make it more visible in a rather unsubtle and un-Bao-like way. She wasn't sure how to start that conversation herself; it was a little heavy a topic anyway, and not exactly appropriate for the early morning.

"What do you write in that notebook of yours?" she said.

Sparring

"Very well" Replied Gerhart "I will respect your decision, though I prefer to face my opponents when they're at their most skilled. If you're certain you do not want to use this 'Raivo' of yours, so be it"

With that, Gerhart gave Nemesis a quick salute with Macht before quickly walking towards his opponent.

ATMN

Ahyan didn't respond immediately. Instead, he added a few lines somewhere first.

"What do I write? Everything, really. Ideas that cross through my head, events that happen during the day, the feelings of people who are willing to divulge them.."

He paused for a moment, then flipped the book around to show her.

Bao would see really compact lines of fluid text, barely legible. In the bottom right corner, surrounded by more text, was a sketch of her. It was well done, but there was certainly a hint of artistic liberty present in the image.

He flipped the book back towards him. Then he added a few more lines.

Bao turned aside to sit upright in the correct direction.

"You drew me," she said. Not really as a question, but as a statement.

Ahyan paused for a moment, then looked back up. "Yes, I did." he stated, keeping his notebook open to let the ink dry. He wiped said ink off the tip of his pen, staining his fingers black, then put it back somewhere into his clothes. "I'm aiming to draw just about everyone on this team.. and anybody else who's interesting, I suppose."

He moved his arm up and down, making the book go through the air a bit more to speed up the drying process.

"Reference pictures are very helpful."

Training

"Your understanding is appreciated." Returning the salute she drew this nameless sword, approaching Gerhart as he approached her.

She waited for him to make his first move. Although perhaps a little risky, she liked to adapt to her opponent's fighting style and then outmatch or counter it with her own, devised on a whim.

Dropping into a low guard, Gerhart slowly inched towards Nemesis, his eyes locked upon his opponent's sword. Swiftly and without warning, Gerhart swung up towards Nemesis' ribs with Macht.

Bao snapped her book shut, leaned back into the couch and closed her eyes.

"You think I'm interesting," she said. Another statement, though sounding a little more like a question than the last one. "Enough so to warrant sketching my portrait."

Although normally Nessie would just allow the armor to tank the blow, this time she had to rely more on actual swordsmanship. Not that she minded: to better oneself was to test oneself in surroundings more difficult than being accustomed to.

Bringing her sword down to block his strike, she swirled around with grace and used the momentum to throw a flat slash at his side.

ATMN

Ahyan stopped flapping the book up and down. "Yyyyes? I suppose I do." He looked at her inquisitively for a second.

Looking back down at the two sheets he had open at the moment, he put one finger against the paper gently. He took a look at it, shrugged, then closed the notebook and put it away.

"Do you want me to draw another portrait of you? I need practice anyway... I wouldn't call it my forte, that would have to be writing. I can't paint for the life of me, however, so don't ask me to do that."

"I'll be interested to see how you will portray the little fox," Bao said. She opened her eyes just to roll them. "Perhaps as a demonic, otherworldly creature. Fangs dripping with blood. Truly, unnatural."

Bao closed her eyes again, letting her book fall out of her hand, and simply rested. Bao was, frankly, lazy. Every non-combat situation to her seemed like a low-energy situation. Perhaps this was related to her Semblance.

"I won't be moving from this spot any time soon," she said.

ATMN

Ahyan scoffed loudly and obviously. "Look, she might be unnatural, but she hasn't done anything bad yet."

Granted, she probably will, knowing them

"Plus, I did already draw her. You just kept jumping around too fast so I could draw you. Then Nemesis had that mask on the whole time so I couldn't draw him either."

He reached down into his clothes and pulled out the notebook again. He flipped through a couple pages, then stopped at one. He turned the notebook over towards Bao. If she decided to look, she'd see another sketch, this time of Tsukiko. This one was also well done, but the artistic liberty here accentuated her fox-like features a bit more. This wasn't to say that she looked inhuman, she just had more fox about her here than she did in real life. There was also slightly less effort put into it.

This image was not one of a villain or a monster, but of a minor character.

Classes without Sir Gareth

Lord Vladimir wasn't really sure what to do. Hanging out with his team was out of the question – Sir Gareth was out for who knows how long, and he had no interest in dealing with the two bickering dunderheads that were the other members of his team. Other people were already using the training room, and he didn't wish to intrude. He was even tempted to go out for a private flight – he wasn't keen on letting any part of him grow weak from lack of use – but he’d need to figure out where the heck he’d do it so as to not be noticed by his classmates.

Maybe I should have a look at the library, Vladimir thought to himself, double-checking the knot in the strings of his cloak as he absentmindedly walked through the halls. Books are always nice.

SPARRING

Catching the strike with Macht's hilt, Gerhart batted Nemesis' strike away before backing up a few steps and saying "I do not believe we've been properly introduced" before lunging forwards with a thrust to Nemesis' torso.

"My name is Gerhart Von Messer!"

Tsukiko eventually wandered down to the rest of her team looking even more like she had gotten little sleep then Ahyan did, probably because in her case she never really slept that well in the first place. Being out to sea for so long, she was rather unused to the... stillness beacon had, the lack of rocking from the waves, the quite of no ocean sounds, it was just unnerving to her.

Still she groggily waved to her gathered teammates, not really bothering to interrupt them before collapsing onto the floor, in a position of rest, or well at least as much resting as some one could while still remaining awake.

With a small huff she blocked the incoming thrust. "Pleasure is... all mine!" Then she retorted with a hit at his shoulder from above. "Nemesis Vickers." She was hesitant to reveal her last name, but at the same time they would have found out sooner or later.

Sparring/Training/Fighting/Other

Taking advantage of his speed while unencumbered by armor, Gerhart swiftly sidestepped to the right of Nemesis' blow before half-swording his blade and thrusting Macht forwards like a spear.

"Well met!" Gerhart's words were punctuated by a rare non-twisted and genuine smile. It would be quite obvious that he was enjoying himself.

Although the mask hid her face, she did seem at slightly more ease around someone who just seemed to like fighting. Grim perhaps, but Gerhart seemed like a rather simple man, said positively of course.

Nodding back at his words she sidestepped the thrust - he seemed to favor these for some reason - and threw another slash, this time at his hip. She fought by the principle that you shouldn't strike the one spot twice. Admiteddly it worked better with Raivo than an ordinary arming sword, but some habits died hard.

Sliding his off hand back down to the pommel of Macht, Gerhart batted Nemesis' latest blow away with the flat of his sword. This Nemesis was good, there was no doubt about that, but without his preferred weapon, Gerhart questioned how much longer the two would be on even footing.

From his latest counter, Gerhart transitioned into a two handed rising geddit? blow aimed towards Nemesis' jaw.
