"Well, we both have 'the usual' to go to. As much I'd like to delay it, I'd rather not be late," Agnes replied, her hands up in an "oh well" kind of gesture. "...Unless they decided to be nice and give you an off-day?" Her smile and tone were both quite wry.

 

"Hey, you can read and I can be your eyes or something. I just don't want you to get punished or anything. If they aren't feeling nice today, then there proooobably won't be anymore starefests."

(Sorry for the really late reply; school has taken me prisoner with all of the tests and projects, and my free time is dedicated to sleeping and trying to relax; I haven't had a chance to post. Seriously sorry for making you wait so long like a jerk :/ So to make it up longer than usual post.)

 

Pythia looked up from her book about five minutes after Agnes talked, only just realizing someone talked to her. "...did you say something? Sorry to make you wait... the book got good. There was a funny part about ninjas and magic... I felt like laughing." Pythia gave no indication of doing so earlier. "So... um... hopefully they gave me an off day. They do, but it's usually because I have to interrogate someone... sometimes I have to assist the commander..." Pythia gave off a visible shudder, rather out of charcter from her. "Anyway... do you think you have an off day today? Maybe he's giving us a day of mercy because of the newbies... that would be nice of him. Though... Jake left, hopefully he's alright. I always worry for him, I don't want him to get hurt. I also worry for you, but Jake a little more, because of his... Um... Hyde."

 

Pythia put her book into a small, shabby pocketbook she wore, which was also filled with pencils, pens, her fanfiction archi- er, her book of short stories, and a few books on psychology. "That should keep me from being distracted. So... where do you want to go? We could go to the gymnasium to see how the newbies are doing... I can see so many ways how that could go wrong, but we might be able to delay our tests, and we'll have the infallible excuse of being with the boss. Or we could go find Jake... Or do both... or do something else, like find that wizard and punch him. Um, or do something less violent to him. Let's scold him even more if we find him."

Agnes thought for a bit.  She had to admit, the idea of skipping the tests in favor of adventure gave her a feeling like the cherry pie she hadn't tasted in three years.  But the thought of the consequences for missing testing sent chills down her spine.

 

Not cold enough, though.

After a moment of silence, he only then realizes the mistake he just made. Oh, well... Might as well see this foolishness out to the bitter end. He becomes, seemingly, more confident and arrogant. However, his thoughts are filled with lectures and self-loathing for how much of a fool he's making himself, building up to telepaths into an unbearable din of nagging.

Pythia heard the thought, although it was rater blurred; she didn't like reading other's thoughts, emotions were her ally. She nodded "Sure. Let's go." Pythia walked towards the gymnasium, and stopped right in front of the opening. She could see the newbies, Lousie, bossman, and wait, shoot, it was Greyson! She and him shared mental-related abilties, so she was extra resistant to mental attacks, so when she was an early newbie, she had a very bad time with him. And she wasn't really eager to revist those nightmarish times, so she hid behind Agnes, who was also standing at the gymnasium doors.

 

"C-can you go in first? And let me quiver behind you away from other creepy t-telepaths?" Pythia decided she needed to stop quivering and put on a mask again, but just looking at Greyson was making her shake in her boots. She really needed to be less of a doormat. She gained her compuse slightly, and continued to hide behind Agnes, but was still quivering in anticipation. The bossman, Greyson and Louise probably saw them by now, so no backing out.

Agnes had to admit that she was feeling pretty scared as well.  But she drew some comfort from the fact that Louise wasn't the only one with a healing power coupled with a regeneration ability.  In a voice as flat as soda left outside the fridge, she said with that same old wry smile,"Using the word 'quiver' won't give you wings, 'k?  That's what Red Bull is for."  With her hands shoved in her pockets, she stood to the side of the gym doors like an investigator about to enter a house with an armed person inside, picking out a shaded spot they could attempt to sneak to.  There probably wasn't any point in stealth anymore, doing something like this, so she braced herself for pain, physical or otherwise.

 

If she hadn't tightened the leash on her thoughts at that point, she would've thought to herself A damn shame my power is no good on the mind.  "You ready?" she whispered instead.

Trag smiled wickedly as he took the remote from Solomon. He turned to face Alexander. "Let me tell you something Mr Hollyway. When I first laid eyes on you I knew you were special. But you are still a weed, a special weed but a weed nonetheless. And as a weed you will be cut down." Trag looked at the rest of the prisoners in the gym. "this goes for the rest of you. To me you are all nothing but worms. But perhaps with some training you will blossom." said Trag as he gave a warm smile. Trags smile turned cold and dark as he hit the button on the remote. The remote activated and the collars lit up. The collars then sent a massive nonlethal electric shock into all the prisoners in the gym.

Knowing an opportunity when he saw one, he decided to test his new experiment. He rushes to bloodscythe, and slices open a hand, using it to quickly throw together a Circle of Transformation. It was time to get serious, now that he had electricity in his body... He throws everything he has into the spell, using the charge of the collar as an alternative power source, and the results are immediate. His form warps, to inhabit his Summon and Integration of a Demon. Horns sprout from his head, his legs turn to cloven goat hooves, and he becomes absurdly larger, a shadowy aura surrounding him, giving off an oppressing sensation. His eyes actually glow scarlet, and the collar breaks under the expanding muscles that are as hard as titanium. Claws extend from his fingertips, and circles of magic surround him.

"SO, IT COMES DOWN TO THIS? YOU ACTUALLY MAKE ME SUMMON A DEMON TO BIND? DO YOU KNOW THE TOLL FOR SUCH A THING? TEN VIRGIN SOULS. NOW I HAVE TO GO TO AN ORPHANAGE AFTER I BREAK OUT OF THIS DUMP, AND IT'S GOING TO COMPLETELY WRECK MY KARMA!" He calls out in a ridiculously arrogant voice. After all, it's not like the binding made him invincible, nor did it make him ultra powerful; it's not a very strong demon. It does, however, make using magic much easier... "SO, WHO'S THE FIRST TO INCUR MY WRATH? MAYBE, I'LL GO HUNT DOWN THAT HYDE GUY. MAYBE, I'LL TEAR GLASSES-KUN'S EYES FROM THEIR SOCKETS. PERHAPS, I'LL RIP YOUR ARMS OFF, HIGH COMMANDER TRAG..."

His form starts glowing brighter, as the binding and summons wears thin; the power charge wasn't enough for much of a summons, as he wasted it all on being showy. His form reverts to normal.

"I suppose I'll just keep that as a show of power. The purpose of this meeting was to determine what our powers were, no?" He flashes a knowing smile, then winks at the Glasses-kun, his thoughts letting loose that he really could have done all he said, but thought he'd give them all a show. There's nothing but honesty and pride ringing through his thoughts. "I'm just curious to see what'll happen in reaction to my lowest level summon!"

Pythia's day went from bad to worse. The second she was gathering the muster to walk in, the wizard was swearing like a sailor in his mind (she winced, she never did like intense thoughts), Trag shocked all of the prisoners (But they weren't doing anything wrong! Except the demon.), and jerkface wizard... um... transformed into a demon? Oh, and another newbie used an impressive display of blood magic.

 

And then that wizard showed his... um... magic... Pythia kept her unemotional mask on but was actually panicking in the inside, especially when he mentioned ripping her eyes from her sockets. And he seemed to be prideful... and boastful... that would probably be his downfall, at one point. It also meant he was going to have a hard time, SHARC was dedicated to ripping you of your boastfulness and pride. And jesus, that blood magic guy was probably going to give her a heart attack. She was queasy around blood.

 

Pythia, although slightly traumatized from Hollyway's... no, the demon's actions, she realized that the telepathy field was sending out pain signals from all of the prisoners. Shoot, did Trag shock them all? Only the demon was doing anything wrong! Pythia completely forgot about worrying that Greyson was there and walked in, her unemotional facade as strong as ever. She faced Trag. 

 

"Bossman- um, Sir!" Pythia quickly scrambled to make up her mistake. Shoot, it totally wasn't an off day. She quickly reapplied her unemotional mask. "Don't you think it's rather unnecessary to shock all of them? The new recruits weren't doing anything wrong. Well, Hollyway was, he used his magic and deliberately tried to anger you. The rest, i'm sure, were confused, such as that charming blood magic user..." She awkwardly waved at the blood magic user, and also threw in a quick wave at Hollyway for good measure. "I'm sure I would be confused to if I was brought into this awf- wonderful facility. If you have any further punishments to dictate, wouldn't it be best to punish those at fault instead of innocents as well?"

 

Nevermind, she was definitely having an off day, if she was accidentally letting her inner insults slip out. She was really on edge today. And she was ridiculously stressed right now too; even though she looked unemotional on the outside, she was having a minor panic attack on the inside. She slowly took a step back, as far away from the demon and Greyson she could manage without it looking deliberate. She looked at Agnes and silently motioned for her to come in. She really wanted someone to catch her if she fainted from a heart attack.
