Synthia shrugs, and continues setting up the fire. She puts her stick in the kindling and begins starting the fire. The lack of wind helps as she quickly turns her twig. The kindling begins burning up, as she sets some of the larger peices in a specific pattern over the fire.

 

Rune chuckled "Oh you were making a fire the old fashioned way? I brought a lighter, for the fire and fireworks, I didn't think you were going to actually do that." He said. "Ok, not judging, but why that specific pattern? I always just put the wood in a vague cone-shape."

Dustin was practically on the edge of his seat listening to what Samantha had to say. It was so intriguing! A man made gijinka, able to connect to the internet by a plug on her neck, simply brilliant! "Wow... You're pretty fascinating Samantha! Really quite interesting! Huh, if I could connect myself to the internet... I'd probably just load every possible piece of information I could into my brain. Although that would take out of finding everything out yourself. Still, it would save quite a large amount of time..." Dustin was letting his nerdiness expose. He was tempted to pull out the glasses in his pocket to try and make him look smarter.

Samantha chuckled. "Well, your brain is like a computer in and of itself. And like a computer, it has a maximum hard drive space, so if you tried to download too much, you'd either have to delete some other files, or you would get a fever just trying to remember your own name." She explained. "I'm actually thinking about possibly sending an idea back to dad that could benefit the school during class and after it. A way to train in battles without fear of more injury than maybe either simulated pain or mental exhaustion. If I'm able to connect to the internet and cyberspace, there might be a way to allow other people access without having to get augs like I did. Maybe a stasis chamber of some kind, then linking them to a controlled environment where battle participants can train, but not get injured. Not only that, but simulate different kinds of terrains and weather without giving the janitor an aneurysm. I might also be able to modify... Well, let's be honest here, it'd be more of hacking, but I could allow you guys to follow me in to cyberspace. I know my way around decently, I mean, I was stuck in there for more than a day. Granted, I only saw a small percentage of it because the internet is so huge, but even so, it would be awesome to show you around some of the places. It'd be the ultimate virtual reality." she said, whipping out her PDA and quickly typing up an email to her father about the idea. "And... sent. I just sent the idea to my dad back at Sarif and my mom back at Silph. I don't know if they'll be able to do it, but it would be awesome if they could. Heck, they probably already thought of that idea, but have just been developing it for a while and still haven't unveiled it publicly yet. So if this gets cleared, you think you guys would be up for a little tour?" she asked.

"Well, certain parts of the internet. I wouldn't venture in to every nook and cranny. Some people have been dinguses and uploaded viruses. You want to stay away from those. Luckily enough, my attacks have been able to hold them at bay, and I'd assume yours would be able to as well." Samantha explained. "As for the battling, I'm sure we could easily have the environment projected up to a screen, so everyone could still watch and the teacher could still grade it and everything. They might even allow people to go until they normally wouldn't be able to continue, just because there wouldn't be a risk of things going wrong. I'm sure formal challenges would still take place in person though, just because that would be more effective training, and it would make sure there is a difference between sparring and formal challenges." She continued. "I've actually been able to play video games before and controlled the avatar one-to-one. I don't think anyone else can see any difference between my character and any other, other than the cosmetics programmed in to the game of course. I can play Team Fortress 2 and play as scout, run around at the same speed, but I can also do any gestures I can in the real world, but nobody can really see it. They can only see the way I'm aiming and the normal animations. The funny thing is, though, that I still look like me. To me at least. There aren't any mirrors in game, but I can see my arms and hands and stuff. I'd guess that if you are running the same software, it would treat it like a mod and you'd be able to see each other in game. I actually like to conjure up the different outfits of the classes and wear them to myself at least. I think you'd look cute in the Engineers outfit Dustin. I personally like the Medic's outfit myself. Razor... I think you'd look good in a scout outfit. If this all actually works out like I hope, then I can teach you how to change clothes and stuff in cyberspace when we're actually there." She rambled. "What do you think Razor?"

Dusk was a bit surprised to see Zoey go off on end at the mere thought of finding him a jacket...apparently this was not as simple as he originally thought it was going to be.

 

"T-there are different styles?"

 

"Wait where- just how many shops are there for jackets?"

 

"My entire wardrobe? My jacket WAS my entire wardrobe...I thought it'd be enough.."

 

"Customize m- I guess you can do whatever. As long as I get a jacket again..get's a little nippy now that I'm less ethereal."

 

Dusk merely smiled and nodded as he replied to her excitement as the group made their way back to their respectable dorm rooms. Dusk stopped in front of his own door and took a peek inside.

 

"Yup just as I thought. I have the room to myself tonight." Dusk said confirming his suspicions. 

 

"Wonder if it's fun camping..anyways I got my notebook riiiiight here. So let's get started shall we?" Dusk said as he pulled his notes from his bottomless...scarf? Quickly turning into full on nerd mode he left the door open to the dorm and sat on one of the beds inside laying out all he took down. From piles of papers to different pages on a notebook, it was quite a lot to take in. When Dusk took notes, he really did take notes.

His o-office is really close to the battle gym, s-so you could check there. I haven't really m-met him yet. J-just a little bit in Battle class first period..." Dustin winced very slightly at all the stutters he had made. At least he hadn't stuttered to the point of repeating the syllable of the words several times every other word. A couple letter repeats was completely fine with him. He shouldn't have talked so much though, so his stutter would've been less noticeable.

Raiga

 

@, 

 

Raiga felt something hit the static in the air around him, immediately veering off to the side.  A flash of light accompanies the electrical energy around him frying the leech seed like a piece of popcorn, and Raiga practically launches himself at the side of the school.  Managing to wedge his fingertips in the small space between two of the bricks in the wall, he pulls himself up and jumps upwards to grab a windowsill.  One more jump upwards and he pulls himself up onto one of the lower levels of the roof, spinning around and crouching on the small perch he'd found himself on as he stares at Nik.

 

"You launched an attack at me.  Why?  I have shown no ill will towards you."  He didn't know what exactly the attack had been - his electricity had intercepted it without him actually seeing it, and he had no way of knowing the leech seed hadn't been a full strength one.  Still, his tone didn't sound hostile so much as curious.  The air did continue to crackle about him more than it usually did, but that was about the only sign of him being on guard.

Zoey's excitement seemed to vanish as Dusk started pulling out his seemingly endless supply of notes.  This was the first day...  He...  HE TOOK ALL THESE NOTES ON THE FIRST DAY!?  "Dusk!  I was expecting notes, not a textbook!"

 

She clambers onto the bed to try and get a grasp on what could possibly be written on all of the papers, her ears starting to droop at what she imagined was an impossible task.  "Sheesh, how many notes did you take!?  You don't have a condensed version, do you?"  She picks up one of the papers at random, bringing it close to her face to start reading it over.  "Did you write down literally every single word the professors said?  You're like when someone uses a recorder to take notes...  Except you hand wrote them all...  Did you even draw your own figures in these!?"

Melissa had just drifted off to sleep when she heard Zoey say something about Dusk and textbooks. She wearily got up and changed into an oversized t-shirt with shorts. One of the disadvantages of being next door was hearing stuff through thin walls. Melissa headed over to Dorm 2 and before she said anything, she noticed the massive pile of papers on Dusk's bed. She stopped and rested her arm against the doorway. "What are all those papers? Parts of a textbook?" Part of Melissa's hair fell over her left eye. She hadn't bothered to tidy up her hair.

"As long as you stick somewhat close to me, then we should be fine. We should probably have a location to meet up if we get lost though, like if a kid loses their parents at an amusement part they have a help desk where they meet up." Samantha suggested. "Like I said, there could be some nasty viruses, worms, trojans, whatever out there that could do you some harm. Luckily attacks can keep them at bay, but you don't want to let them touch you." She warned. Her PDA vibrated and she pulled it out. It was an email from her Dad back at home. "Terrific! My dad just emailed me and told me that they have been working on the project already, but needed people to alpha test it. So there will likely be glitches, but nothing major, he says. I need to find Darius..." She said, getting up and running out of the room.

"Should you wish to speak, approach like a civilized individual rather than using your knock-off abilities.  And a word of advice, but you seem very dependent upon your powers.  Practice getting by without them now and then - it would be unfortunate to find yourself in a situation where they fail you when you rely upon them like a crutch."  Raiga's voice never changes from his calm tone, sounding as though genuinely wishing to offer advice as he speaks.  With what he needed to say said he starts to walk back to the entrance of the academy, his cloak blowing in a slight breeze behind him.

"No, I wasn't here. I arrived late. However, I don't know if you know this, but my parents both work for big science firms. My mom works for Silph Co. and my dad works for Sarif Industries." Samantha explained. "You likely know what Silph is, but Sarif is a biotech firm that works in prosthesis and bio-augmentation. Also, it requires a bit of explaining. You know I'm a Porygon Z Gijinka, but something inherent to all Porygon, pokemon or Gijinka, is that we can enter cyberspace and the internet. I was talking it over with some students in the common room, and we came up with an idea, that Sarif has been working on for a while now, but hasn't had proper alpha-testers. Basically some pods, somewhat like stasis chambers, that could allow other people, pokemon, and Gijinka to enter cyberspace themselves." She continued. "What I'm proposing, is have maybe four or five pods brought in here, and we do battles in cyberspace, where arenas for any kind of terrain and could avoid damaging school property with certain attacks. It also has the potential to make it so that we won't injure ourselves during sparring matches. Formal battles can still take place in person, due to it being a more real-world scenario as it is. And since it's alpha, there are likely to be a few issues, but I should be able to fix them either myself or by being a sort of a gijinka-proxy. Having someone back at Silph or Sarif remotely see through my ocular implants and just talk me through what to do." Samantha said. "So, what do you think? I wouldn't need to use the pods myself, since I could just use the cable I have to hook up to the server that would be hosting the battle directly." She said, lifting her hair and motioning to the port in the rear of her skull.
