Sam is writing a book
Date of Scene: 12 February 2022
Location: Rec Room - Xavier's School
Synopsis: And another one is introduced to the danger room
Cast of Characters: Cannonball, Kit Killovarras




Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie is in the rec room, though it is later in the evening and it is quiet in there for a change. Sam has a note book and pen sitting at the table writing in it. There are a few pages of crumpled paper on the table beside him that look to have been torn out of the book.

Kit Killovarras has posed:
The yeen is quiet as always when he walks in, but today? Today is a strange day, since he's wearing.. Very little. A pair of shorts and a few bandages wrapping his shoulders and upper chest are pretty much the only things covering him at the moment as he walks into the rec room and over to grab a drink, panting quietly.

The yeen grabs himself a bottle of water and drains it in one go before he finally notices Sam, giving the man a glance and a little wave, "Hey Mr. Guthrie." he says with a smile, then his ears perk forward a little when he notices the book. Always the curious creature, he can't help but tilt his head and ask, "Whatcha' writing?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over and says "Ah am thinking about writing a series of books, about some of my experiences when Ah was a new mutant, have to talk to the others, but thought might be neat, probably have to pass it off as fiction, but still an interesting idea.

Kit Killovarras has posed:
Kit just nods and chuckles quietly at the mention of passing it off as fiction, "Yeah, probably. A lot of people wouldn't believe some of the things that have to happen for them to live their lives in relative safety.." Then he grabs another bottle of water and asks, "Want anything to drink?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie hmms and says "Grab me a cheerwine from the mini fridge if you don't mind. " He notices the apparel of the yeen and a brow raises, but all he asks is "what you up to this evening?"

Kit Killovarras has posed:
Kit nods and grabs Sam his drink before heading over and sitting across from him, setting the drink in front of him. "Mobility training mostly." he says with a little chuckle. "It helps to be able to run down the ones who try and flee, ya know?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles a bit and says "I know sorta what ya mean at least, usually when Ah am running down someone it is more blasting and them being in a car or something." He chuckles a bit and says "So you working on speed, or more parkor type stuff?"

Kit Killovarras has posed:
"Mostly parkour, I'm fast enough already thanks to the way my body's built, so knowing how to use that speed over any and every terrain is pretty useful." he says with a little chuckle. "And yeah, never had to run down a car and hopefully never will."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "Ah would offer you some advice on that, but to be honest, Ah am not the one you want to talk to, Ah normally go through things or just dodge them outright." He admits. "So where you been practicing at?"

Kit Killovarras has posed:
Kit just shrugs and explains, "I set up a small course down near the lake. Nothing special, just a few crates and metal pipes, but for the time being it's enough." There's a little pause from the yeen for a moment, then he just shrugs and chuckles. "Jax has been helping me with moving around it a little faster each time I go through it too, teaching me how to balance properly for a jump and such."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie hmms a bit in thought and studies the young man for a moment. "I think it maybe time to take you into one of our special training areas." He consideres it for a bit. The young man has been there a while, and while at times he has been brash he has not shown any untrustworthy traits

Kit Killovarras has posed:
Kit's ears perk up ever so slightly and he tilts his head, always the curious yeen. "Special training areas?" he asks. Excitement is a thing the aardwolf can't exactly hide well, since the sudden wagging of a certain tail tends to betray him fairly often and now is no exception.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and will pick up his items and says "Come with me." He looks to the young man and says "What I am about to show you is not talked about unless you know someone already knows about it, and to no one outside the school.

Kit Killovarras has posed:
"So, pretty much the same rules as the school itself. No talking about it to outsiders." Kit says with a little grin. Then he stands up and stretches for a moment before giving a little nod, "Lead the way."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will lead the man to the elevator and down to the sub basement, the halls looking all metallic and utilitarian compared to the mansion, but Sam opens a door leading him into a large empty room.

Kit Killovarras has posed:
Kit follows, tail wagging slightly and ears perked up as they enter the sub basement, nose wiggling as he takes in new scents. Curious yeen is always curious and when he gets to see new things he gets a little.. Well, puppy-ish is a good way to describe it. "Woah..." is all he manages as they walk through the halls and into the large, empty room.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks to the other young man, and says "Ok, well we will start with the standard thing that was done with me and most every new student to come in here. You are to get from here to that door, when I say go." He tells the young man pointing across the room.

Kit Killovarras has posed:
Kit looks at sam for a moment and tilts his head, then shrugs and nods, "Ok? I mean, not a terribly difficult task." Then he shakes himself out a little and nods. "Alright, ready whenever you are.."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will walk over to a wall opening a panel and pulls out a data pad, and types in it, and says "Go." The first obstacle in his path will be just a few steps into his path, where the floor falls away to a pit under it.

Kit Killovarras has posed:
There's something to be said for being brash and it's not always good. The moment the aardwolf hears 'go' he's off at full speed.. Too easy, right? Wrong, there's a sudden yelp and sounds of panic as the floor ahead of him suddenly disappears and he skids to a halt, or tries to, spinning his body as he goes over the edge and just barely catches the lip of the ledge with his fingertips. "The fuck?!" Yup, confused yeen is a thing too.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smirks a bit and says "Did you think it would be easy?" He asks the young man. He leans against the wall, waiting for the young man to pull himself back up, waiting for him to make a bit of progress, and then the floor will turn icey and a strong breeze will come out of no where to push him back.

Kit Killovarras has posed:
Kit manages to get himself up again, takes a few steps back and darts forward, his feet catching the very edge of the gap as his crouches down, nearly falling over the edge entirely before he springs off and leaps, clearing the gap with ease, but then? Ice! WIND! He's not built for these elements and as he lands, his pawpads slip and he winds up falling backwards, the wind nearly toppling him into the pit!

Kit bares his teeth momentarily as he claws himself back up, using his lower claws to dig into the frost as he forces himself forward, trying his damndest to push through the wind, though he's been slowed significantly.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie just as he makes it through the wind a net will shoot out at him, and a second in the direction he normally dodges. Sam has put up a semi basic course for him. At least for his first time.

Kit Killovarras has posed:
The first net? Easy, but the second one actually nabs the aardwolf and he hits the floor, wrapped up and fairly well immobilized. He just lays there on the ground, his eyes slightly wide as he whimpers for a moment, then tries to get out of the net while musing, "Well shit! Not exactly the sort of thing I expected.. Reset?" with a little laugh.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and will help him up and untangle him "You sure?" He will move back to the doorway and with a push of some buttons they are steading in the middle of an amazon jungle, complete with smells, and noises that would be there.

Kit Killovarras has posed:
When he's finally free, Kit will sit there on his haunches for a moment and looks around as the room changes, giving a little smile before he looks to Sam and nods. "I'm sure." he says in a confident tone, a look of determination present in his eyes that the teacher's likely never seen from him before.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie stands back and watches the young man hand motioning him to go.

Kit Killovarras has posed:
Kit nods and takes off, suddenly hyper alert and when the first obstacle appears? A gap in the ground, like before, he leaps it easily. Then ice and wind? Fine, they're not new and he adjusts to them quickly, but then the algorithm kicks in..

The danger room is known to adjust to it's user much the way it originally designed Logan's first run and when the aardwolf cuts the nets apart with a series of energy blades? Well, it's sudden. The first obstacle after the obvious is a wall, something that the yeen doesn't halt at, but leaps onto and practically walks a few steps up before pulling himself up with little effort.

Then an unlevel gap! Like jumping from one building to another at different floor heights, which the yeen takes in stride, tucking into a roll as he sticks the landing.

The final obstacle is simple enough, but one that might stop some people.. A wall juts down from the ceiling, leaving barely enough room along the floor to get under. Normally it would require a military crawl, but the yeen picks up his pace and drops, sliding under the gap just barely as his body twists, allowing him to come to his feet quickly once it's cleared and tags the door.

The aardwolf's fur is up, he's panting and for anyone who knows how most animals respond? The fact that his hackles are up would be a terrifying prospect, if it weren't for the fact that his tail is wagging a mile a minute.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over and says "Not bad for level 1." He tells the young man. "We have some parkor enviroments here you can run. You will need to come in and only have access to those few I set ok."

Kit Killovarras has posed:
Kit takes a moment to collect himself and when his fur finally lowers again? He looks back to Sam and gives a nod, grinning practically ear to ear. "Alright.." Then there's a pause and he tilts his head, his tail stopping suddenly as he gets this somewhat devious look and asks, "Any chance this thing can do combat simulations..?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Yes, but you can only have access to them when a staff member is present, and running them"

Kit Killovarras has posed:
Kit gives a little nod and smiles. "That's sort of what I expected the rules here would be.. Mind if I see one of them?" The yeen is, if nothing else, a fighter at heart and there are times when it becomes quite obvious. He's a survivor and a protector by nature, his hunting proves that, but only three people from the entire school have ever seen him fight, which means: His abilities are still very much a mystery to most of the staff.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie hmms and types a moment, and a group of people show up in the middle of the room. It is the Avengers as kids "This was one we did when we were young, where we had to fight against them.

Kit Killovarras has posed:
There's a moment where the yeen just stares, studying them all before his ears lower a little, "This was a group fight.." he murmurs, more to himself than anyone else, then he looks at two of them in particular. Thor, a formidable opponent for anyone to take on, let alone someone who might be new to the idea of fighting at this level...

Then the yeen gives a little chuckle and looks to Sam, watching him for a moment before he asks, "May I?" There's a pause and that same look of determination in his eyes. "I'll take full responsibility for anything that happens to me, but I want to see what I can do.."

He's nothing if not determined and while he is reckless at times, that trait can be both a hindrance, or a strength depending on how it's used.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks to the young man and says "Oh you were wanting something you could fight? I would not suggest them." He pushes a few more buttons and another group of teenagers show up, and one of them looks amazingly like a 16 year old Sam complete with buzz cuts and big ears. "Thats who all faught them."

Kit Killovarras has posed:
Kit nods as he studies the new group, tilting his head a little as he explains, "I want something I can fight, something stronger than just a goon with a gun." with a slight sigh. "It's too easy to fight people who can't match me and the one time I got the chance? I was pushed too far."

There's a little pause there, a faint sound of crackling as a pulse of violet energy runs across his body, "I have a power that I can't tap into normally, something that I've been trying to understand every moment since I first felt it.. I don't like being afraid of what I could do, so I want to learn to either use it, or suppress it.."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie hmms and nods his head a bit to this and says "Ok how about this. " The two groups disappear, and the enviroment changes to a city scape, and on one of the fire escapes is Toad.

Kit Killovarras has posed:
There's a little nod as he looks at the virtual opponent and tilts his head slightly, walking forward a little as he shakes himself out. He doesn't expect the first strike, but he doesn't shy away from it either. Toad releases a burst of air after a sudden inhale, the blast slamming into the yeen, though the first of his abilities to be revealed protects him.

The blast is practically absorbed by a shield that forms when the yeen crosses his arms over his chest, his fur standing on end and crackling with energy as his muscles visibly tighten.

When his eyes surge though is when the yeens real power shows. A quick slash of his claws through the air send a set of four blades careening towards the fire escape, warping the metal and carving deep grooves into the wall behind it, though the strike doesn't land.. He's not used to fighting people who can match him and it shows, but he's still giving it his all.

When Toad leaps and tries to spit some toxic mucus at him, the aardwolf waves a hand and sends it flying wide of him, splattering to the ground harmlessly as he sends another flurry of blades at his enemy when they're in mid air, trying to cut him down before he can get close.

It's sudden though once the fight reaches close quarters.. Toad is an expert kick-boxer with near superhuman strength in his legs and a prehensile tongue, things the yeen couldn't hope to predict and when the first kick slams into and shatters the shield he tries to protect himself with? Something happens..

The energy crackling across his fur turns black, surging faster and faster as the warped and mangled fire escape suddenly rips away from the wall and crashes down where toad had been, the villain narrowly avoiding being crushed.

The second kick comes from the side, but the power that the yeen is currently wielding? It makes him slow, it makes him more and more reckless as the flow of energy claws at his mind and when the strike connects with his head? It's over... He crumples, rag-dolling a few feet when he hits the ground, out cold.

The danger rooms safety protocol kicks in the minute the yeen goes down, the imagery and environment fading away into the empty room with the yeen slumped against a wall. He's breathing though, but he'll have a hell of a headache in the morning.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will get the first aid kit, and moves to check on Kit. He uses the smelling salts on him, when he sees the young man is pretty much unharmed just beat up a bit "Wakey wakey, don't make me drop you in the lakey."

Kit Killovarras has posed:
The smelling salts would work on most people fine, but for an aardwolf? There's a sudden jerk as he snaps to and nearly vomits, though he does manage to stop himself and suddenly covers his muzzle with his paws, blocking off his nose as he murmurs, "Well.. That went horribly.." then shakes his head as he slowly moves his paws away from his face with a sigh. "But, at least I learned one of the things to not do." he adds with a little chuckle, rubbing at the side of his head where the hit connected.

Then he gives Sam a look and a warm smile, his tail flicking a little as he says, "Thanks for letting me try that, Mr. Guthrie."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "No problem, and I learned something too, we might want to put a half dose smelling salt in the first aid kit, for those with heightened sense of smell

Kit Killovarras has posed:
There's a little chuckle from the yeen and he nods, "That might be a good idea." he says with a bit of a laugh, then rubs at the side of his head for a moment before adding, "Though honestly? I think that's enough for me for today.." His tail is still wagging, so at very least he's not too disheartened by the loss at very least.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods and offers him a hand up, and says "Well glad you had fun man." He offers.
