Meta Humans

[Tsai]

Lauren glares the japanese woman, though not in anger or fear, but maybe slight admiration for her abilities a very slight smile appearing across the woman's face as a devilish thought pops up in her head. I want her, Lauren thinks to herself before hearing Rufus though chuckling at the british man's words. "No...i think her abilities are perfect... Well.." Looking to the rest of the group. "I hope you enjoyed my little demonstration and uhh sorry about the wall.." Returning to her seat the redhead sits a bit more properly now that she knows the directors were a bit more serious. "So what will i be doing when im not kicking ass? Do i sit around the base till shit hits the fan or am i allowed out?"

Lauren unlatches her zippo then retrieves her cigarettes from her jacket pocket, lighting one then offering the directors the pack seeing if they wanted some.

[venomouswings]

Georgia looked at the three again. "Wait you looked at the medical reports.... then you know they were unable to find the sole reason behind it." And that when the men in suits came. Georgia got up from her chair again. "And to answer your question it's strong, I've tested blades on it and not so much of a scratch, it like it's built to last." She ignored the strange large part Lillian used to describe it. "I can feel pure power running through it, to the point a brick wall is child's play. Trust me it took me a good while to open a door with out ripping the handle of it, drinking became a nightmare." The last part she muttered under her breath. She step close to the wall before stretching her arm out and opening her palm, a good gap between her hand and wall. "Now I say it leaks but really It just produces it, I can even control the force it comes out at." A sudden bang happens as her palm fire a high power shotgun like blast of lava at the wall.

[cryosabre]

a little saddened she didn't get to see Rufus' and Kimiko's powers, Tessa perks up again once she hears she's being given a fully paid for apartment AND free spending money, "i'm heading straight to the bar with that.." Tessa thinks to herself, suddenly remembering she hadn't had a drink in quite some time. After Rufus tells you they have many more interviews to do a few more questions pop into Tessa's mind "So just out of interest, what's the craic with these jobs we'll be given, are we going to be doing them alone or?...and will we be getting any sort of special training? clicking her fingers her final questions comes to mind, Tessa takes on a serious tone "Oh and here, when will i be able to get my stuff back, that assault rifle means a lot to me, and the headphones and music player even more, not to sound threatening or anything like, but they better not be damaged.."

[Albedo28]

Jisoo listens intently to their explanation and to the reluctant offer as well. Still standing he shakes his head, "I appreciate you making it seem like there's a choice here but New York's lost, the world is in danger from a global threat and I might have something I can do to help. I can't walk away and pretend that this whole deal isn't happening while my home country is getting wrecked and worse. I thank you again, but if what you need me to do is work with nuts well... luckily I'm not allergic." He moves over toward the door he entered by and recalls the group of people standing about before that may very well have been his new comrades.

"So, when do I get to meet the people I'll be working with on this first exercise and which of you shall be monitoring us?" He asks close to the door. "Or should I just ask your boys for directions to my apartment and wait for further instruction?" Once he got his answer it was time for Jisoo to head out and get himself set up and ready for living in Japan and working with a group of strangers with super powers. 'Hopefully,' he thought to himself, 'I manage to be of some use here. I'm no superman or Thor here...' With a sigh he headed on forward.

[MelissaB]

Watching he rock back Jade gives him a look of amazement that he even survived never mind that he was relatively unharmed by the strike though it did seem to phase him. Seeing the bulge the beastly appearance of Jade lingers a little longer than it should before looking up and viewing the ruby man in the eyes and giving a small nod. "That's the plan yes?" She offers before shaking her head violently, her claws receding and her bestial appearance fading away to review the girl now standing in tattered clothing losing more than half a foot in height and half her body weight entirely. Holding the clothing together with her hands as she gives them a look of embarrassment. "Sorry I can't think straight in that form. It's hunt and... other things." She offers with a slight blush before shaking her head gaining some small confidence back now that they'll happily welcome her.

"Erm... I guess how we'll be living I guess, I would probably need a steady supply of clothing for the transformation, that or I stay in it all the time, which I don't personally mind but, well I find it harder to think and control myself like that, So unless the facility can handle that kind of thing walking around then I'll need new clothes regularly." She explains her voice soft and free of more primal thoughts and needs. She looks between the three before shaking her head. "And... who you expect to team me up with?" She asks nervous about that one.

[Meep Meepersons]

Eloo pouted when the room got very cold and her fun was cut short. It was kinda neat when the man turned into a living ruby, that was pretty unique. "Pheeew! Cold, brrr~" She shivered and grabbed her suits zipper and zipped it back up. "Much better!" She continues her little dance from earlier and sits back down. And despite her smile she was a tinsy bit upset. Which was perfect, cause she could kill two birds with one stone! Suddenly the table before them folds in half and is chucked to the side of the room. Her ghostly copies fade into the ether as the table is smooshed and chucked like a paper ball. "So! What do you want Eloo to do?" Her expressions remained the same, confident and sexy~

[VintageBass]

Jack hums to himself as he learns about what he is going to be doing for this organization. It seems that while he does have the power to revive a dead location with plant lie, there is a matter of the monsters that came to this world and the growing culture of these meta humans. He has considered himself not of the norm to begin with, given he is a lanky tall kid that has a fondness for pulling pranks for smiles and loves to dance, not to mention carries around a plastic pumpkin that he wears for a costume, but throw in the plants just adds in a whole new level for him. Getting through the prejudice of his new title is going to be a bit of a challenge for not only him but his new allies, but he might survive if he sticks to what he knows.

After all, what he seeks are smiles and he'll make sure that the world has one when he heads out onto the field.

Just as he got through with saying their goodbyes, Jack notices that Rufus got a whiff of his pollens and notices that he has acquired some redness to his cheeks and is getting a bit hard down below. The young man cocks an eyebrow, wondering just how curious the man is when the Japanese girl, who he is quite amazed by with her accent, have shown quite the similar kind of enthusiasm in learning about the boy. It's a good thing he didn't blow them in their direction, otherwise things wouldn't have been all that pretty... even if he is slightly morbidly curious as to what all three are packing underneath. Jack reaches into a pocket to search for something that he can hand to Rufus, while he looks between the two to figure out what to say next.

"Um... well, I guess I should be heading to where I'll be living now, hm?" he asked with an awkward smile on his face. "I don't want to hold you three up since you must be busy with other people coming in. Listen, if you're in need of release, I think I have something in my pockets that might help you, mostly to keep you clean once you're done." This is getting way too awkward and Jack wants to recover anything before dealing with some random stranger that is under the influence of his pollen. At least with the thought of them going after the Swamp Witch can keep him away from what Rufus is hiding in his pants. It makes him nervous that he's going to meet the woman again and the struggle that some of these agents might have facing against her. It's bad enough that he had a hard time with her, and twice for that matter, surely they got some people here that can handle her...

[spriter1]

Willow had to admit, when she saw the man smiling, she was a bit thrown off, more expecting any reaction that can be put with annoyance, the same feeling they had a second ago looking at her. Not that she showed her feelings however, keeping her cocky smirk on but taking extra second to get her words together before saying "Yea, of course you don't want to become mercenaries. Like, it just makes sense why ya wouldn't want to make a bit of money from getting countries to 'persuade you to visit them first'. Crying shame too, would really have liked to get some more people with powers on the payroll, really capture that corner of the market before any other business within my line of work. That stuff pays, ya dig? Anyways if you don't mind me just flicking through here..."
With that, she flicked through the folder, her expression slowly drifting over to a frown as she saw what was in there, using her powers to grab out the family and childhood photos and slip them into her suit jacket before closing it over and saying "Where did you get all of this? There is stuff here that literally noone knows about but me. I'll help you by the way, just tell me where to point the gun and I'll pull the trigger, but if I do I want all of this stuff you have on me burned and for you to tell me how you found out about those specific things."

[exalted]

Zoe eyed the Asian woman suspiciously as she kept writing notes, her eyebrows narrowing. Mama don't like tattletales, she thought.

"Look you got this all wrong," She sighed, standing up as she tried to bluff and distract them, "I'm not the person you're looking for, I'm just a protection driver. You see the company was supposed to be sending me to a business and training seminar, you must have just picked up the wrong person."

As she talked she carefully formed the a small ember behind them, keeping it floating lightly as it turned and grew, pulsing red and white. When it was done she let it fall, wafting over Kimiko's shoulder to land on her folder, rapidly blackening and charring the page around it.

"Bad luck just seems to follow me around," She smiled as the page ignited in flame.

[Alaena]

Lauren

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

When you say Kimiko's abilities are perfect, she looks away, a bit embarrassed by the compliment, and keeping her gaze away from yours until you address the whole group. She seems to still be writing and taking notes, most likely about the demonstration of your power.

When you apologize for the wall, Lillian shrugs and closes her folder. She says, "It's fine. This branch of the Japanese Defense Force are dicks anyway. If it were up to them, we'd all have registration numbers and be forced to live in padded cells."

When you ask about what's expected of you, Rufus folds his hands together and with a cautious tone says, "You will be given your freedom. However, we expect you to follow Japan's laws. Leniency will be given, but don't make them think twice about it. We're going to begin small operations here in Japan, a test run sort of, and investigate the sightings and attacks happening here."

Kimiko adds, "We're not sure why Britain and Japan receive special notice by these creatures. There are other sightings in the world, but we suffer most, and the USA of course, but we assume that must be because of New York."

"Yes," Rufus says, "You'll be given a monthly stipend to spend as you please and you'll be sharing an apartment complex with the other members of the MHD."

"Do you have any other questions for us?"

The three of them all seem satisfied with the meeting and close their folders on you.

Georgia

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Lillian says, with a welcoming smile, "Yes, we're well aware of the lack of understanding by some of the top dermatologists and orthopedists in the world. Their desire was to keep you in quarantine for however long it took, years even. I doubt the people the government sent to... 'acquire' you were exactly heart-warming, but you have to admit this is a tad better than spending your life in a cell."

When you begin talking about the specifics of your arm, Rufus adds, "We'll have to send an addendum to the architect working on the new facility so that can be taken into account. Replacing doors can get expensive."

You demonstrate how force it can release against the wall and it leaves a melted crater through the steel and concrete, but doesn't create a hole through the other side. Truly, this room has incredibly thick walls and steel around it. The three observe your act of power and they're caught off guard by the incredibly loud sound is a nearly air-tight room. Their hands are over their ears for a few more seconds after you fired. You could see some pain and uncomfortable looks on their faces, but that was likely because their ears might be ringing.

"Yes..." Kimiko says, scrunching her face, "That is a lot of power. Hopefully, you'll get to test your abilities more against the creatures invading Earth."

Rufus closes his folder, while Kimiko takes her notes on your ability. The British man says, "Very well, Georgia. Do you have any questions for us?"

Tessa

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

When you mention you're heading straight to the bar, you receive a few chuckles, but Kimiko points out, "Don't lose control... that's what everyone expects of us. To prove ourselves to be just as monstrous as the invaders."

When you ask about the mode of operation for MHD, he says "You'll be split into teams, but some assignments might just require investigation and might only require one MHD member. As long as you're working and not going overboard, you'll only have occasional contact with us and we won't hold you on a short leash."

Lillian says, "We are planning some training, but we wish to see everyone in the field first. We'll have a meeting with everyone in the MHD and talk about the mission statement and the other administrative details, but before we attempt to hone your powers, we need to see them, in action, under stress, then we'll know how we can help you."

"As to your gear, we'll give it all back to you, of course. Normally, firearms are illegal for personal ownership in Japan, but we'll be getting you special permission. That'll all happen at the MHD meeting following this interview."

Rufus says, "Anything else we can help with, for the moment?"

Jisoo

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Lillian smiles, "We're glad you've been so understanding about the process we're undergoing. Regardless of their past, or motivations, everyone is here with the commitment to protect humanity. Some of them were convinced by money, others by darker motives, but we're no less committed to protecting and assisting them in their job than we are you. Just remember that, at MHD, you and your team members are all motivated equals."

When you ask your questions about monitoring and your team, Rufus says, "We're going to have a meeting of the entire MHD after we finish our preliminary interviews. We'd just ask that you wait patiently outside. Following that, you'll be taken to the apartment complex. Our division's mode of operation, well... we'll discuss that at the meeting."

You move to exit the interview room and find 9 other people waiting outside. The room was similar to a doctor's waiting room. They all varied quite a bit, men, women, some nervous, some wearing confidence like a badge. You would have to wait now, for everyone else to finish their 'preliminary interview,' then be lead to the meeting of the entire division. Hopefully, they would also give you some information about the creatures you were expected to confront...

Jade

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Rufus gives you a curious look, "So you become... animalistic. That's interesting. You'd give any man a run for his money in the sack, certainly."

Lillian hits his shoulder, "Pervert."

Kimiko clears her throat, "I believe my colleagues are trying to say your transformation is certainly special. Your MHD comrades will have to help you control it until we design a training program appropriate to your needs."

The three of them quickly reposition the table in the center and return to their seats. Ever the gentleman, Rufus pulls your seat out for you, motioning for you to sit and pushes it in. Maybe chivalry wasn't dead, or maybe he had some interest in you. He'd be the first one to appreciate your true form, perhaps even more than 'appreciate'...

When you ask about living situation and other things, Lillian says, "You'll all be staying in an apartment complex rented out solely for your use. There's more rooms than MHD members at this point, so you'll be free to pick which room you want. Every month, you'll get a stipend of spending money. You'll work with other meta humans who you'll meet after this interview and the meeting following. As to clothes, that won't be a problem. We'll supply you clothing, but it won't exactly be designer. If you want something more to your liking, I suggest you use that stipend we'll be giving you to find something else."

Rufus says, "Lillian didn't specify, but the people you're working with, they all come from very different backgrounds. You'll likely fight and argue with some of them, but remember at the end of the day, we're all here to work together to protect mankind."

Lillian nods, "Yes... Do you have anything else we help you with right at this moment? Our information meeting, after this, will likely answer most of your questions."

Eloo

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

When you zip yourself back up, crush the table, and de-summon your clones, the Japanese woman Kimiko begins to relax and the room gradually returns to a normal temperature. The man who turned his body into ruby allows the ruby form to dissolve back into normal, tan, skin. You get a view of his muscular form, since he took off shirt and jacket before transforming. Lillian looks incredibly flushed and you can practically smell the arousal from her. Unlike the other two, her cheeks are completely flushed as she pants from her near-orgasm. Her eyes slowly raise and meet yours, a look of intense lust still inside of her.

Lillian speaks first, "Y-yes... thank you, Eloo. That was um.. wrong, and inappropriate... for the moment..."

Rufus adds, "You don't need to do more. We understand your power a lot more now. And you experienced mine and Kimiko's as well. We have no interest in keeping secrets. You ask us anything and we'll respond honestly. There are people in this world who wish to destroy us, or worse, take advantage of our abilities for personal gain. I would advise you be cautious in your display with anyone else save for us, and the enemy, the monsters plaguing the planet."

Kimiko straightens her hair and fixes her ponytail as she speaks, "It is very impressive, nonetheless, Eloo. We're going to have an information meeting with the rest of the MHD members after we're done here and you can meet the other team members. Do you have any questions for us at the moment?"

Jack

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Lillian says, "Actually, we're going to have a meeting after this interview that we require you and the other members of the MHD to sit in on. It's more of an information or introductory meeting. We'll let you know all the necessary details, then we'll give you all a ride to the apartment complex. More or less, all your needs will be provided for."

While she talks, Rufus' eyes seem to be looking up and down your body. His interests might not be quite what you thought. Then again, it might also be because you're the only one who touched him, or a bit of both. It was quite clear to everyone in the room that he was under a drug-like effect.

"So, Jack, we ask you to sit in the waiting room patiently until we meet the other members personally," Lillian finishes, glancing back at Rufus before back at you.

Kimiko doesn't take her eyes off the British man as his arousal was becoming difficult to control and she pushes Rufus down into a chair, sternly saying, "You will sit until you calm down."

His pants were tented from the large bulge he was packing. It was kind of comical that was he was being directed like a dog, though perhaps fitting considering the power of his lesser instincts were trying to dominate his rationality. It seems neither of these women had the desire to help 'relieve' him. You do remember a line of people waiting outside.

When you say you have something to keep them 'clean,' the two women share a laugh that Rufus doesn't partake in.

"No, no, don't worry about it. He was an idiot for wanting to know what the direct affect of your power was in the first place. He can be a bit headstrong and forgets his age," Kimiko says.

Rufus grunts, "I'm only 39. That's nothing these days."

Lillian ignores him. "So, at the information meeting, we'll answer any other questions you have. We'll have to get him some coffee or... something, to hopefully counteract the drug enough so he can stay in control. Unless you have a way to fix it."

Willow

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Rufus laughs, "Yes, hold the whole world hostage. A great way to make money. Unfortunately, the nation's leaders might not only cut our funding, but decide to exterminate everyone who shows power, or at the very least, throw us in cells for our entire lives."

"It's important to remember that as the first international division of public meta humans, we'll be representing everyone else like us across the world," Lillian says.

As you flip through the folder, you more or less just notice all the details of your life, including a psychological profile. When you ask them how they got it, Kimiko says, "The recruiting effort was led by us. We're also meta humans. Put simply... we have our ways."

"We intended on keeping this information only for our use in recruiting you. We're the only three that have seen these folders. But, if you insist, I don't think it will make much difference. The FBI and CIA gathered all relevant incriminating intelligence. The personal stuff is information we gathered for the psych profile."

If you decide to destroy it yourself somehow, they won't stop you, but you do feel you can trust these people. Anyone else would've had you in handcuffs rather than let you walk around freely.

"Guns don't seem to do much to these monsters," Rufus points out, "But, maybe with a meta human's power, they can be made useful. We're lucky to have you onboard."

Zoe

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Not expecting you to burn the folder from her hands, your little tale gets their attention and a few confused and irritated looks until the folder sets on fire and Kimiko drops it to the ground. Unfortunately, the fire catches Kimiko's clothes as an unintended side effect and before it can burn her suit to a crisp, her eyes glow blue and she blows over the fire. For some reason, despite the room being quite warm, you see breath and what looks like frost. The fire is quickly put out and her clothes look a little iced over on the black patch that burned away. She does the same to the burning folder and doesn't save very much of it in the process.

Lillian sighs and says, "Like I said. We don't want you in jail. That'll reflect badly on all of us. We're an international division funded by three different countries. Part of the condition of us running this was to have free reign. Other than what the FBI already has on you, we won't give them anything to incriminate you further."

Rufus laughs and says, "Just a bit of paper. Though, Kimiko does like her notes. More than anything, we use it for our psych profile on you. We're determining training programs for each meta human to make you stronger, to evolve your abilities."

The Japanese woman doesn't say anything, she merely gives you an irritated glare, and doesn't seem to appreciate the fact you burned a lot of her notes.

Lillian says, "Before anything else burns, do you have any questions for us?"

[Tsai]

"So follow the law and I'm good got it. Suppose that shouldn't be too hard." Lauren takes a drag of her cigarette being sure to blow the smoke down or at least away from the directors faces. Well her situation couldn't be better. She gets her freedom and as long as she remains on good behavior then her gang gets a bit of an easier time plus there's even spending money. Muuch better here than her cell.

"No I think we're all good maybe give me a or have one of the guards give me a quick tour of the place I suppose but that can be for later." Once she's done with her comment. Lauren stands up putting out the half finished cigarette then putting that back into her case so she can finish later. Assuming that all the directors and her leave through the same door she'd try to find a moment with Kimiko.

[venomouswings]

Georgia sat down again in the chair, putting her feet up on the table. "Sorry about your ears, I got so used to it I didn't think twice about you three." She thought about when the men came for her, people who didn't care about what would happen to her as long as the end justified the means. "As long as you don't try any experiments on me with out my say so I think this is better." And the money helped, the one thing she really needed right now. "I only have two questions really. One, how much am I getting paid a month to do this? And two, when do you plan on sending me out in the field?"

[cryosabre]

Tessa laughs when they tell her not to go overboard "Oh I wouldn't worry about that, i'm Irish remember! giving them a wink "I'd be more worried about what will happen if I don't get a drink in me at some point". After hearing everything that she wanted to know Tessa was excited to be a part of a team of other individuals with powers, as well as maybe getting some specialist training to further improve her form. But Tessa was happiest that she was getting her stuff back more than anything, she was missing the feeling of her headphones wrapping around her head, filling her ears full of rock music.

Standing up "Nope I think that's everything giving Rufus, Kimiko and Lillian a smile "Just point me in the direction of the meeting room and I guess I'll see everyone there!" Shaking their hands "unless there's anything else you want to ask me?"

[VintageBass]

He nods off to what the girls are telling the young man about what's going to happen once all of these interviews are over. An overall meeting to discuss matters along with a meet-and-greet? Sounds like a good and fun little idea. He smiles at the women and the single man, who seems to be getting a little worse for wear and far too hot under the collar. If the bulge is anything to go by at the moment, in a few minutes those pants are going to burst and the girls are going to get pinned under him if they don't give him some relief.

Jack removes his hand from his pocket, sighing that he couldn't find anything to help, especially with the others wanting to get this done and over with. "No, sadly I don't," he replied, looking a bit defeated. "I would recommend like some over-the-top allergy medicine or something that combats pollen, but really the people that I ran into, which is few by the way, all took less than a couple of hours to let it slip through their systems. Granted you don't have hours to spend, so maybe that sounds like a viable option for the time being."

The young man takes his pumpkin and puts it under his arm before saying his farewells and thanks to the three advisers. He is quite happy about this new life for him and is excited about meeting the people he is going to work with, although with the thought about the Swamp Witch going to be working for him is a bit of a scary thought. Before he leaves the room, giving Rufus a bit of an unintentional tease as he walks out since he's been eyeing Jack this whole time, Jack looks back at the two women and frowns a bit. "Be careful in talking to the Witch. She's not one to be trusted..." With that, Jack steps out of the room and closes the door behind him.

Letting out a sigh, Jack reaches into his pocket and pulls out his music player, getting on some music before putting his headphones on and getting the pumpkin over his head. Strange as it may be but Jack feels quite comfortable about wearing such a thing over him, plus it does disguise his blue bulky headphones when he dances during his shows at the carnival and it's just how he rolls normally. Once the music starts playing in his ears, Jack bobs his head to the drum beat and bassline from the seventies, tapping his boot on the floor before casually strutting on over to the waiting room where he's not going to sit. He sat for too long and was out, he needs a good stretch and what better way than to dance out his kinks?

[MelissaB]

"In a sense yeah-" Blinking when Rufus gets hit she blushes realizing the meaning and holds the ragged clothes tighter over her body frowning a little. Turning away from both Lilian and Rufus she regards Kimiko as she speaks with a tilt of her head and a passive nodding to show she is listening to the woman. "Yeah i suppose I just have to try and not break anything in the meantime." She offers with a slight smile. Taking the offered seat she nods and smiles and laughs a little when she realizes it's not just her own clothes she shredded. "Thank you, sorry about the pants." She nods downwards motioning to his lack of them.

"Apartment, choice of room and what is basically an allowance at the end of each month? All right. Yeah the clothes should be fine, if I need anything else for an occasion as you say i'll just spend the money you give me." Turning her head to Rufus once more a smile on her face. "Really? I can't imagine I'll be fighting them too much." She shrugs a little before continuing. "If anyone gets in my face I'll avoid them and no I guess I've got nothing else to ask if my questions are just going to be answered after this." She nods to the three with a smile. "Guess that's everything for now err... How much is the little payment at the end of the month exactly?"

[spriter1]

"Hey now, not the whole world hostage. What do I look like, a terrorist? No, ust convinces people to keep up with paying off debts, and makes those we protect feel safer, along with keeping the other families at bay, but anyway."
With that, she uses her telekinesis to hand the folder back over to Rufus, now devoid of personal and family photos. "I still want those destroyed. also The FBI and CIA are people I would trust to hold their end of the deal as much as I would trust a dog to lift a car. Even though I can guess they will screw me in the end regardless, tell me what I need to do, where I can get the stuff you confiscated off me, and then tell me who to point the gun at."
With that, she leans back with her hands sat on her stomach. "So, Who or what am I killing first?"

[Albedo28]

Jisoo sits down in the little waiting room as he digests what exactly he's going to be responsible for. His interviewers seemed to think he'd be using his healing powers to assist his teammates while they fought while he wasn't sure he wanted to have a bunch of dangerous individuals looking at him with hungry eyes. Still from what he'd seen most of the new crew was rather young so if it came down to it, he'd keep them safe, as was his duty as their senior. Hopefully they'd all be plenty strong enough to keep from needing much of his help in the first place. Though as he sat there and waited, watching a young man(?) wearing a pumpkin costume head dance about the room he couldn't help but sigh thinking about the worst case scenario should one of the less than stable super-powered humans lost their control as he tried to keep them alive. He might need to find someone more agreeable to practice with before he used his ability out in the field... if there even was such a person. Thinking along those lines he puts his hands behind his head and stares at the ceiling, waiting for someone to get his attention and lead him to the next little meeting they were set to have.

[Meep Meepersons]

Eloo shakes her head. "Eloo has only one question, does Eloo get her own room? Eloo's cardboard house melted last time it rained...." She said with a frown as her head drooped in depression. Apparently she was homeless.

[exalted]

Zoe raised an eyebrow as she saw the Japanese woman use her powers, she'd heard of frigid ice queens, just not literal ones.

She smirked slightly as Rufus mentioned psych profiles, knowing how well that usually went. Flicking down aviators from top of her head she started head for door.

"Was saying 'No' even an option?" She asked, stopping by the door and turning back to look at Kimiko, "And Honey... let it go, let it go."

laughing to herself she took a seat in the waiting room and waited to see what would happen next.

[Reaver]

Emile remained still as Lilliana continued to talk, perhaps trying to convince him of their just cause. He didn't buy into, having seen the corruption of many causes in his time. This was a group of powerful people, super-humans. Once they stopped whatever crisis they were currently in then they would try to save the world the best way powerful people knew how, by taking over it. As far as he was concerned, the woman was an idealist, scared of one man when confronted and threatened. He had no interest in someone who seemed at weak as her and decided he would ignore her in the future unless proven otherwise or professionalism called for action. The man and the other woman were far more interesting, unfazed and unmoved by his threat. Perhaps they were indeed confident in their skills as meta-humans or didn't take it seriously but the man, Rufus seemed to understand the need for mutual trust, even offering to show off his powers.

"I appreciate you understanding what I would like in this relationship, sir. The other two may watch and take notes if they too show me their powers. Otherwise they'll just have to piece together how my powers work from whatever you learn." Rolling up his sleeves, revealing his scarred wrists, forearms and biceps. He had used to see those marks as signs of weakness, that he had failed at some aspect of his job but now he saw them for what they were, signs of survival and superiority in the line of work. "I first found out about my abilities around 6 months ago. At first I wasn't sure how I had activated them so I tried putting myself in the same situation over and over again. It worked best when I felt my back was against was the wall but eventually I learned to just let go and let my instincts take me." As he talked his arms changed color, becoming darker, first the veins then the skin before becoming obsidian black. "The bones, skin, muscles harden, becoming stronger in a sense, tougher. I can envelope my entire body in it rather quickly but all the weight slows me down the harder I get." Talking calmly as he gripped the table hard. He stared down everyone in the room, his eyes lingering on Liliana and his dossier folder on the table. "It can deflect small arms fire and if I really push it, higher calibers." He added before slowly applying weight to his side of the table, compressing the table legs underneath and forcing the table to slant. He quickly applied more pressure, attempting to collapse his side of the table to force the documents to slide right to his feet, he was curious exactly how much information they had on him.

"I've broken backs and necks with extreme ease while in this form. I hope it'll be a little harder next time. That is why I'm here." Folding his onyx arms while waiting for Rufus and the others to show off their own powers.
