Emma Frost has posed:
Emma taps several buttons before she scrolls through the options" Here we go." She smiles and touches a button or two. " This is the assessment stage, we're gonna see how combat-ready you are, dear," . she grins, sitting down and crossing those long legs

     she Sighs," As much as I enjoy having you with me to make clothes, because you are with me, at some point, somebody will try and attack you .. so you need to learn to defend yourself. But before that starts, we need to see how good your skills are now " .

Red has posed:
Alice sighs as Alice is back in the Danger room after years. Brushing back her hair, she lets the bag at her side fall to the ground, crouching as she starts to open it. "I know, but I suck at the Danger Room. I can't affect Holographic clothes, they just... aren't real enough."

But she wasn't unprepared, pulling out a bunch of T-Shirts from the bag. "Mind if I dress them? I mean, so they are hacing something I can work with."

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost Smirks and chuckles " i already took that into account," She says softly " all the enemies will be wearing regular clothes, though some will have a surprise to see if you can affect that " she has some wearing alien outfits to see if you can affect the alien metal threads ... but this is just an assessment so it's level is very easy it's about finding out what you can do.

Red has posed:
Alice nods, pushing the shirts back into the sports bag and instead pulling out a pair of heavy polymer bricks. One starts to flatten into a shield - a proper kite shield, not the Cap style, while the other just lengthens some into a club. Or rather, sword approximation. It's not difficile shapes, and all hard, but hey, it only takes her about a minute.

Pulling the shield against her chest and letting the club-sword lower to about the knee, she finally nods. "I am ready..." she announces, letting her eyes wander over the area...

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost Chuckles but she's seen worse then again she hung out with a few gods in her time so that style of weapon dosn't surprise her it's quite nice . She starts the program, but it will start with an obstacle course .. you have a sentinel chasing you , you have to get through a city that's a war zone.. climbing over cars and building and things to get away .

Red has posed:
Alice nods, slinging the shield on her back as she has to start the parcours, the club-like sword finding itself dangling tucked into the belt as she starts to run and jump over the hurdles. She doesn't have the speed of a speedster or even a top athlete, but she's not slow, taking the fences and hurdles with somewhat easy strides. It's when she has to go into the vertical that she starts to slow down, having to look for fire escapes or ladders to get up. She's not a flyer or jumper after all, just a normal, very fit human. Maybe a regional level athlete, if you wanted to test.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost Nods as she looks at the results thier very good , it also tests you ability to view paths and make choices in a crunch .. you have something that you can't win against what will you do kinda idea.. once that's done she lets you rest for a moment before she starts the next level Now it's combat some thugs

Red has posed:
Alice stumbles a moment as the ground suddenly shifts and the next level phases in, the thugs taking shape. She doesn't have the time to properly grab her shield from the back before the first starts to swing at her. Ducking under the swing, it's the sword-club that is drawn first, somewhat awkwardly, but in timy to counter it with a pommel bash into the ribcage to toss him away. The next attack she faces with a short strike to accelerate the hand past her, then add a kick after them to get some time. Time used to finally get that shield into position and add more than sloppy parry action to her portfolio. Taking the hits with the shield, she now manages to go for the offensive, hitting for the arms and hands mostly to try and disarm the holographic thugs. No need to get nasty on them yet.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost Is surprised you did really well with the thugs much better than she expected.. she moves to level 2 she thought 2 would be your limit but now she thinks you might make it to level 3 , after all level 2 is , friends of huanity I.e humans who've had some level of training not a ton but some . so thier way better than your average thug

Red has posed:
Alice flinches as the thugs fade, their clothes dropping, to be replaced by a triplet of thugs armed with real weapons. Or as real as would be allowed to accomodate for Alice inability to target holograms. As they stepped from shadow, she made herself ready to face those armed with more than just fists. One guy with a pistol and two with tazer sticks.

As Alice dodges and tries to keep at least one of the tazer armed ones between her and the other goon, her eyebrows narrow as she concentrates. Getting the shielding of the wires in the staff to melt and creep down doesn't take too long, and is even somewhat crude, but is is leaving unprotected copper behind. As she finally relaxes just a tad, she takes the next swing of Goon A with her plastic shield, the staff experiencing a violent short circuit as the wires are hammered into one another and getting the battery to overheat. His compatriot's weapon gets the same treatment as she batters into him with the blunt instrument.

As the two guys suddenly have to deal with burning tazer staffs, moments later their compannion is faced with the side panels of his gun starting to get awfully fluid, getting squished into the magazine by his own grip on the gun and blocking up the feed and trigger mechanism. Getting them back to unarmed - and slightly confused - was what Alice needed to start cleaning up, smacking for the nonlethal points mostly.

Emma Frost has posed:
Level 3 takes it up a level it's guys with similar level of the guys in level 2 i.e they know how to fight , ulike the oother guys if you disarm them they are just as deadly, but they have a twist thier kree, so that means thier weapons are made of alien materials and whats more thier stronger faster and tougher than humans , like low level super humans

Red has posed:
Alice is not even peak human level, and with Emma having grabbed into her trophy box to dress up those holographs in Kree clothing and weaponry, quite some things are off the table. Such as trying to use their clothes against them. While she is driven to the defence, she's trying her best to fight, using both hands on the shield to block blows, while constantly having to fix rips and tears the level three enemies inflict on it. She's not getting forward easily, so much is clear, but after a while of trying to affect their clothes, she resorts to throwing her sword at one of them.

Sure, it bounces against his chest without effect, but it also is instantly melded to form against the chest armor. As Alice tries her best on double duty in defending and shifting the glob of plastic towards the neck, she is driven back, against one of the walls...

Yet she holds out, trying her bsest until the hard ABS that used to be her sword has encased the neck of the 'Kree' and starts to creep up over the chin, solidifying in a shape that makes raising the chin more and more the less painful option, as otherwise one would pinch the underside of the jaw into sharp pins...

Emma Frost has posed:
The test stops and you hear emma " well done alice.. you did way way better than I expected my dear.. you are quite the fighter an have more skill than I gave you credit.. I'm very impressed " She says softly "So take a break and rest up then come join me in the control booth "

Red has posed:
Alice exhales visibly drained as the test ends with the other 'Kree' that was still fighting about to break her defense. Moments later, the plastic chunk on his compannion starts to fall to the ground as the fighters fizzle out. A few moments later, Alice drops her shield to gather her hair again in a ponytail, sighing as she looks up to the control chair. "I... I didn't make that level, did I?" she asks as she starts to pick up her plastic again, melting them back to the form of bricks. "I mean, I was about to be taken out..."

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost Looks over and smirks " well to be honest it was more level 4 than level 3 so in that sense you passed but it was supposed to be a wall for you to get to only for me to find out you already thier looking for a way over it ' She grins " I'm impressed your far more skilled than I though, but that's good means with a little training you can get stronger if you want " She smiles as she wraps her arms around the girl for a hug " you did good "

Red has posed:
Alice is a little taken aback by the sudden hug, her cheeks flushing as she is held there, her shirt sticky from the exertion. "I... Thanks... Uh... that deoesn't make me X-men material though, right? I mean, what's their grading requirement?"

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost Hmms and thinks " Oh no this is the test we give new mutants dear well the one we give the older ones " She smiles " This is not x-men level .. x-men level is well " She pauses " it's far far higher " She says to be honest . She taps a button " this is a training scenarior we have.. the building is on fire it's going to colapse in less then 2 mintues..the building is filled with people and thier are 3 sentinels bent on killing you " She looks back to alice " That's level 1 "

Red has posed:
"Oh, I remember *that* scenario, safe for the sentinals. A group exercise..." Alice caughes a moment as she stuffs the cubes of plastic back into her bag picked up from the ground. "I think I did evacuation duty on that scenario, but I couldn't help the others fighting of whatever they sent then. Not my most fond memory..."

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost Nods her head ' it's a tought wall to get over " She smiles " but it's a goal you can work towards if you want " she grins " I can help you if you want.. " She smiles " Expand that power of yours to include more " she chucles " than making me look good "
