Xavier Academy: Passage Rites Journey (a Marvel Alliance RPG)

[Tami]

Intro and Information

Tuesday Morning Martial Arts Class at Xavier Academy. Instructor Logan has separated the students into Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced Students.

During the first hour, the Beginner Class has been drilled repeatedly into the basics of Martial Arts. The Mid-Level Students have begun Sparring Practice, and the Advanced Students are acting as assistant instructors, helping out with the less experienced students.

Meanwhile, several new students have arrived at the school. They are quickly given an orientation interview by the Headmaster, Scott Summers. He then gives them Dorm Room Assignments and informs them that everything they will need, including spare clothes, are waiting for them in their room.

He also informs the new students that they should change into clothes appropriate for Gym Class, or Martial Arts Uniforms if they have them. Once they have visited their dorm rooms and changed, Tom Corsi escorts them to the Gymnasium in time to join in on Logans' Martial Arts Class.

Once there, they spend the next hour in training depending on their belt color level. The training is hard, and each have worked up a serious sweat. Tow hours into the class, Logan signals for the students to sit down on the Gymnasium floor to take a break....the class, however, is not yet over.

Happy Halloween Tami!

Summer slumps down against a wall of the gym, breathing heavily from the workout. As a result of it's strenuous nature, Summer's power has repeatedly flared on and randomly turned off the power of her classmates, endearing her to no one.

Out of her bag, she digs out a bottle of water and drains nearly half of it. She then produces an apple and takes a hungry bite. "Ok, Gym class was never like this at my old school." She says to no one in particular. "There was an explicit rule against kicking the ass of your fellow student."

:Sam, Robert, and Edward were all hyped up.:

Ed: I love this place.

Robert: It beats being on the streets.

Sam: Or mobs hunting you for that matter.

:Ed reads the next classes.:

Brianna found herself smiling at Summer's comment as she took a seat next to her.

Summer digs around in her bag for another apple and tosses it up towards Brianna. " 'Sup Bri?" she asks.

Summer is so Street it's ridiculous.

Keith inhaled and exhaled slowly, sitting upon the ground. It was a little hard keeping up with the others during training and attempting to keep himself focused at the same time. Any strike could trigger it. Any single bout of rage. Any hint of stress. But so far he had done a rather good job of keeping calm, even within the face of difficult martial arts training. Might have had to do with the fact that even if it was a bit difficult, he was enjoying and interested in learning the techniques taught to him.

Amelia sits down close to Keith, sort of away from the others, and fidgits with a generic MP3 player before looking up at him briefly and offering a shy smile. "Hi." She says.

OOC: Tami, how far forward have we jumped? (ie., how long have Amelia and Summer been here)

Azrael is tired. The training was harder than he was used to, but he enjoyed the challenge. He's glad he came here. Taking a minute to catch his breath, he heads over to the nearest wall and slumps down.

He's glad to be around so many other people like him, but he was never a social person, so he sits and takes a minute surveys his surroundings. He found the instructor, blunt, and gruff. But he liked him all them same. The other students were all very nice, and didn't make him feel like "fresh meat" and for that he was grateful. But that didn't stop the person he was paired with from giving him a bruise or two. He sighs, and mumbles to himself "I'm glad martial arts is something I'm good at, otherwise my partner would've beaten me to a pulp... Looks like I've more training to do."

He looks around and notices that the others have broken into groups and are chatting amongst themselves. He realizes that he must look rather odd, off by himself, and figures he should introduce himself. So he stands up, stretches and heads toward the other students.

"Hey," Keith smiled, wiping sweat from his forehead. "They sure don't go easy on us, do they?"

Maes smiled and took his seat. "This is actually pretty tame stuff, wait until you see the Danger Room."

Orthus comes up beside Azrael and says "Hi! My am Orthus. Are you new? Do you have any snacks to share?" He extends his hand and offers a toothy grin.

Azrael smiles, shakes the outstretched hand and smiles back "Hey Nice to meet you Orthus. Name's Azrael, and yes I'm a new student... As for snacks, I'm not sure what your preference is, but I've got a few protein bars and a sandwich in my pack... Help yourself I suppose."

OOC: for now it is still the 3rd week of school.
