As Kaylee was walking onward, she passed by the cafeteria and noticed a small kid with a massive pile of food on his plate, almost like it was an episode of Looney Tunes. She blinked twice before shrugging and continuing to walk onward. [color=990099] People are fuckin' weird... [/color] She continued walking for a few moments before a growl emanated from her stomach and had her stop dead in her tracks. [color=990099] ...Shit, I forgot I didn't eat anything since last night... [/color] She sighed to herself as she checked her wallet and found there was still some cash within. [color=990099] Awesome... Time to do one of my favorite things: stuff my face and then sleep... [/color]

She heel-face-turned and walked into the cafeteria. As she walked, the large snake-like tattoo on her right arm would be visible to all as she only had a t-shirt on. After a small wait at the buffet, she sat down with a somewhat decent sized plate of food and began to dig in with gusto.

"Sometimes leaps of faith make the largest impacts." Shouted Ohka at Sierra before looking at the badge and walking off the mat.

Rose got a plate and it had what appeared to be a tiny ball of rice on it. Sitting down, she began pulling it apart and eating only a few bits of rice at a time, far less than what would be acceptable to live on. "I never understood why others ate so much..." she said in general to Isaac, having sat down next to him.

Mirabelle had been more focused on the dummy during the fight since she wanted to try grapples on the dummy. It would have been fine had she not run into the problem of not being able to move the dummy without moving the base as well. She had taken to studying it the hopes of disconnecting it from the base in such a way to reconnect it without anything breaking or working worse than before. She had tried to pull it out of the base but that hadn't worked and no amount of pulling seemed to loosen it. Finally, after a bit more effort, she gave up, backing away and walking around, looking for some dummies that weren't attached to bases.

"I never understood why others ate so much..."

"Well for some I'm sure it's just pure gluttony." He answered, quickly and methodically working his way through a dozen crab and tuna sushi rolls; after those, he polished off a large salad before tackling a sizable pile of short ribs. "Damn and I thought Sasha's ribs were good..." He muttered quietly to himself; raising his voice a bit he addressed Rose again. "In my case though it's a necessity, being a shape shifter I need at least 5000 calories a day...that's why, despite being a rich kind in England I never went to boarding school. There's no way you could've convinced a normal human school that a skinny little brown boy needed to eat so much."

The ribs gone, he turned his attention to a pair of large pizzas. "What about yourself?" He asked gesturing to the tiny amount of rice Rose had picked up. "Is that seriously all you need?" He said with a disbelieving shake of his head.

 

[mcpop9]

"yes, according to my mother, i apparently am going to live for a really long time... my metabolism is like an extremely slow burning fire to compensate for this..." Rose said and ate the rice slowly. "I haven't found any way to increase how much i need to eat... i want to try eating a full slice of pizza for once..." she said to him.

 

[DotSlash]

Despite her eating, something rung in her ear causing her to stop chowing down so hard. "Rich". She stopped and looked over toward the voice, seeing the kid who had had a massive plate of food in front of him and had gobbled half of it down with out much effort. She blinked twice before finishing her plate, and taking a moment to close her eyes and remember the kids's voice before standing up and walking out, schemes slowly running through her head as she headed back to her dorm room and laid herself out on her bed.

"Your paranoid.." Tomas said to him as he shook his head. "Perhaps they were merely her friends? Or roommates.." Tomas was starting to feel hungry as he said slowly walks off. "I'm going to grab a bite to eat. Tell Jarrah if he wants to join meet me in the mess hall...and you're welcome to join as well after your done."

Arriving at the mess hall a few moments later as he gets in line. Seeing a few of the other students there. Ranging from all over, though the sort of strange that caught his eye was a small looking male student eating a huge tray of food. As well as a female eating a small tray of rice.

Though his focus return to the line as he move upwards. After a minute of waiting, he finally got his tray of food. Getting a few samples of ribs, burgers, and chicken to see how well it was made. He sat down at a empty table near the two small looking students. Minding his own business as he began to eat.

"Yes, according to my mother, I apparently am going to live for a really long time... my metabolism is like an extremely slow burning fire to compensate for this...I haven't found any way to increase how much I need to eat... I want to try eating a full slice of pizza for once..."

"Well we do share that in common." He replied with a half smile. "My mother has told me that despite what an increased metabolism may imply, changelings can live for centuries...despite being married for twenty years now, she still hasn't told my father that." He added a bit sadly.

Pushing the thought aside, he washed his food down with a drink, and chuckled. "Well it's a full buffet here, and the pizza is pretty good...you'll have plenty of time to test yourself."

Again and again Jarrah struck the training dummy, each blow resulting in a dull thud. Despite the power behind them, it was plain to see that the only training the long haired giant has received is from several years worth of watching bad action movies. It was evident he was enthusiastic about putting his knowledge of shitty kung fu moves too as he moved into a series of kicks to the dummy's 'torso'. To top it all off he spun around and bought his leg up, aiming for the well worn patch on the dummy's side...only to come in too low and hit the wooden pole holding the dummy up. Jarrah's foot went clean through the pole with a harsh crack, and launched to dummy in the air spinning end over end, only to come down at the feet of a red haired girl walking around the gym.

"Oh fuck, sorry!" Jarrah called out as he walked over to her.

 

[figment of mind]

After a cursory examination of the gym, Mirabelle came to two conclusions, either the gym didn't have any baseless dummies to practice throwing around or if she's just wasn seeing them, betting on the former. Still, she was willing to try asking around to see if she had just missed them instead. She just had to find someone who she wasn't interrupting and ask them.

All of this was interrupted in a second as a dummy, recently liberated from it's pole, came sailing through the air, landing with a loud thump at her feet. This nearly scared her out of her mesh and literally caused her to jump back, frightened. It took her a few moments to realize just what was happening but once she did, truth be told, she was a bit surprised at the fact that what she was looking for had just come flying to her feet. Still, she didn't waste time picking the dummy up and examining it, finding that the dummy had been broken off with just pure force...

"Oh fuck, sorry!" , a large man said as he walked up towards her, no doubt the one who snapped it off. She couldn't tell if he had done so with skill or pure brute force but figured that it didn't matter at the moment.

"Oh, it's alright. It just made me jump, that's all...um, would it be alright if i used this?"

With increasing amusement, Jack watched as the airborne dummmy made its way over to some girls feet. 'Wait.... I recognize her... still the strange aura but I'll ignore it for now' with that line of thought out of his head, he made his way over to Jarrah and Mirabelle.

"Why I do love seeing you accidently breaking the training items in the room, Tomas told me to tell you that he was going to the cafeteria and that you're welcome to join him."

He then looked over at Mirabelle and said "I apologize for my friend's... uncanny strength for scaring you.
I'm sure he wouldn't mind you using it since it is only the polite thing to do. Right Jarrah?"

 

[Knife-28]

"Heh, I think I've had enough training for today anyway." Jarrah said to Jack as he gingerly rubbed the back of his head.

"As for the dummy," He continued, turning back to the girl, "Feel free to use it I guess though...can I ask what for?"

 

[figment of mind]

"Oh...um, thank you. It's alright though, i'm used to the effects of such strength...", Mirabelle said, a bit nervous of Jack, whom she recognized as the guy who kept staring at her before. Still, he didn't seem that interested now so she tried to ignore the feeling...but she started recalling what Kaylee said at dinner previously, just in case the situation took an unusual direction.

She then turned to Jarrah and said, "Well...i'm going to try and work on my grapples and throws. I'm used to using them in a fight but i need to work on how much strength i use while executing them. I would rather not hurt anyone and given my current lack of control...anyways, this is the time to work on such things so i see no reason not to. By the way...you wouldn't happen to know how much force you used to break it in the first place, would you? It would be nice to know how much these dummies could take before they break."

 

[Knife-28]

"It would be nice to know how much these dummies could take before they break."

"Well, I don't think the dummies can break, I mean I was just laying into it with no effect." Jarrah replied, "That said, the post that holds them up? Not quite as invulnerable."
Jarrah nodded at the training dummy, and saw that what remained of the wooden pole. "Before you use the dummy though, I think we should try and get rid of that." He said, nodding to the splintered end of the pole. "Wouldn't want you to go impaling yourself on the first day of school, eh?"

 

[Sithmorack]

"Wouldn't want you to go impaling yourself on the first day of school, eh?"

After listening to the duo chat a bit, Jack decided he would go practice elsewhere. Preferably somewhere with with a few shadows, of course this training room would do for now.

"If either of you need me, I'll be training in this room some more." When he went to walk away he whispered in Jarrah's ear, "she's not human... and she has a strange aura. Just be careful..." With that said Jack quickly walked away to a different part of the gym/training room.

 

[figment of mind]

She mulled over what Jarrah had said for a moment as Jack whispered in his ear (she didn't pay attention to what he was whispering since it didn't seem like her business). If the dummies were as indestructible as he said they were, then she wouldn't have to worry about breaking them at least...then again, she wasn't trying to use her full strength anyways.

When Jack was done whispering and had left to train, Mirabelle answered, "Well, that would be unpleasant, so yes. Um, did you have a specific way in mind or are we just going to try and pull it out?" As she said that, she held the dummy out by the pole end, in case Jarrah did have that in mind.

 

[Knife-28]

"she's not human... and she has a strange aura. Just be careful..."

Jarrah shot a confused glance towards Jack and considered calling him out to the fact that neither of them were human either. Ultimately he just shook his head and turned back to the girl.

"Well, that would be unpleasant, so yes. Um, did you have a specific way in mind or are we just going to try and pull it out?"

"I guess it can't hurt to try." Jarrah said. Seeing as she already had a hold of the pole, Jarrah grabbed onto the dummy and braced himself as best he could. "Alright, on the count of three. One. Two. Three!"

Jarrah pulled with all his strength, and to his great surprise the dummy slid off effortlessly. Expecting more resistance Jarrah's strenght ended up working against him, and he fell backwards onto the floor of the gym.

"Ok, I guess I was wrong about it not hurting."

 

[figment of mind]

On Jarrah's count, Mirabelle pulled on the dummy with what she considered an acceptable amount of strength, not to hard but not soft enough to be rendered ineffective. It was that fact that led her to two conclusions as to why the following events happened. One: She used too much strength and pulled her end too hard, or Two: the dummy could just slip off the pole like it was greased. Either way, she lost her grip and nearly fell head over heels onto the mat, landing with a muffled clank as her end of the pole sailed over her and landed somewhere behind her, suprising a few unprepared individuals but thankfully not hurting anyone. She got back up quickly and called out, "SORRY!", to those she had surprised before going over to check on Jarrah, whom had also fallen.

She looked at him quizically as she moved to his side, hearing his comment. Shr didn't see anything wrong but just in case, she said, "Are you ok? If you are, then thank you.", before extending her hand.

 

[Knife-28]

"Are you ok? If you are, then thank you."

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Jarrah said as he waved the girl off (Not out of pride, but mostly due to the fact that he had two feet and likely several kilos over her, and her attempting to help him up would end badly for the both of them) and got to his feet. "I've had far worse than that, are you ok though..." Jarrah paused for a moment, "Uh, I don't think I caught your name?"

 

[figment of mind]

"I've had far worse than that, are you ok though..."

"Oh, yes. I'm fine. I just took a small tumble so nothing got jumbled.", Mirabelle said, mentally shrugging at Jarrah waving her off. She didn't want to be rude to the person who had just helped her but she didn't want to touch him either, due to personal paranoia about her mesh. Still, kindness was kindness, she was just thankful that he hadn't been hurt in the act of helping her.

"Uh, I don't think I caught your name?"

"Well, i would be unnerved if you did since i haven't given it yet. My name is Mirabelle Chemia-Delgado. May i ask what is yours?"
