Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie has scheduled a danger room session for Andrea today, and is waiting patiently in the control booth for the girl to get there.

Rage has posed:
The doors swish open to reveal Andrea as she heads into the Danger Room dressed in her black and gold unstable molecule uniform. Her tactical boots thump against the metal floor as she takes a look about. With a smile upwards to the control booth, she gives a salute across the brow. "I'm ready, Cannonball." She says as she uses his codename for during training sessions. "Is today a mystery session or one of my routines?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks down from the control room, and says "A bit of a surprise, your goal will be to find your way through the maze, and how long it takes you. The walls of a maze start to fade in around her. She is inside it from the begining not at the start of it. There will be obstacles in your way of course."

Rage has posed:
"Of course. Are you allowing me to utilize my entire skill-set?" Andrea asks as she gives a glance about once the walls start to solidify. She sniffs at the air, then starts to shift downwards into her wolf form with a round of loud cracking of bones and thick black fur sprouting along her body. Her ears catch the light, gleaming in bright yellow, followed by a flick of her tail. She takes in a deep breath of the air, then flicks her ears upwards as she starts off in a direction.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods and says "Yes, you are allowed to sue what ever you want? She gets the first sniff in and senses a slight scent that heads in two directions and as she is there the hallways start to fill with a smoke that takes up the top half of the hallways.

Rage has posed:
Giving a pause, Rage gives another sniff of the air, then glances about the two directions. Danger ahead. But someone may be heard. She caught the scent of a human just beyond the smoke. Scooting herself low to the ground, she lopes forward in a blur as she looks to try and stay under the cloud of smoke in search for the body.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie watches her go she has to stoop a bit but not quite crawl in wolf form to stay under the smoke. She will continue on a bit and as she starts to take a step forward she will feel a spring trap starting to open, but also hears a click above her in the smoke.

Rage has posed:
Letting out a low rumble in her throat, Rage brings her senses about her as she hears the snap, followed by the click above. She dives forward, using her powerful legs to leap as quickly as possible, hoping to clear whatever she has in front of her, and avoid that of which falls from above.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie watches as the wolf leaps in the steel hallway, she will feel spikes rub across her back, but not falling just extended from the nine foot ceiling. the spikes do not break the skin, but for a brief moment, is a really good scratching. Sam hmms watching softly

Rage has posed:
Once she lands, Rage rolls a bit to the side, then pops back up on to her paws as she blurs forward, opening her senses as her eyes gleam. She is the wolf now. She has night vision. She has a perfect nose and perfect ears. Knowing now that there are traps about, she opens herself to her inner instincts, to let 'her' take the wheel so to speak. A compromise. ~Move faster.~ She rumbles to herself. << Faster. >> She agrees, blurring forward and dodging about through the steel hallways. ~Be prepared to shift.~ << On it. >>

Cannonball has posed:
The corridor starts to shrink, but the scent grows stronger, to continue on she will have to crawl doggy crawl, but she sees a red light in front of her. If she continues on she will see a numberpad. It may seem odd but it is there in the tiny corridor. Sam watches his meters and keeps track of her heartbeat and such the screen on the numberpad has a simple math problem 7+8.

Rage has posed:
As she flattens herself to the ground, Rage propels herself swiftly as she eyes the numberpad in front of her. She keeps a steady head of wits about her as she focuses on the task. She reaches out with a paw, flicking a claw outwards and taps 1 and 5, then shoves herself to the ground as low as possible as she keeps her ears jerked forward and upwards.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie watches her, and the numb pad gives another math problem 5X7. He hmms a bit and watches her brainwave monitors. It seems part of this is making her think with her human brain while in wolf form.

Rage has posed:
There is a rumble in the throat of Rage as she stabs the numberpad once more. 3 and 5. She glances upwards to the shrinking corridor, then lets out a low whine in her throat. << Stay calm. >> ~We are going to die.~ << We won't die. Stay calm. This isn't real. >> ~WE WILL DIE.~ << Just trust me. We're doing good. Focus. >> The wolf growls as she stares at the door ahead, waiting for it to open.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie hmms and says over the com. "Sometimes you need to be able to use both parts of yourself. You can do this." Yea he is giving reassurance as the next question 180/15, the match problems getting a bit harder, the halls are small but now the smoke seems gone at least.

Rage has posed:
As another number forms on the pad, Rage nearly loses it and lets out a loud howl of displeasure. << Quiet down! Give me a few seconds to figure this out. >> ~THINK FASTER MEATBAG~ <<That's uncalled for. >> She paces back and forth in front of the door, snapping at the air before she whips herself back around and reaches out to stab the pad with a claw. 1 and 2. The answer is 12. << I'm good at math. It's fine. >>

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie watches and keeps silent and now the question flows across the screen "When did Columbus discover the Americas. She has heard soft clicks at the door as she has answered each question and something just seems to speak of this being the final question.

Rage has posed:
As she stares at the question, Rage rumbles in her throat as her ears slick back. Good at math, bad at history? Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue and discovered America in ... sixteen? No.. fourteen! Fourteen ninety two! She howls joyfully as she taps the pad with her claw, eagerly waiting for the doors to swing open as her tail sways back and forth. ~You did not seem too sure with your silly song.~ << We learned it as children. Don't you remember? >> ~No.~

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie watches as the door opens and there is just room for her to shimmy into the next room, the corridors seem to be back to normal, no smoke this time, but the scent she was following has gotten much more faint all of the sudden.

Rage has posed:
As she moves forward, Rage slows her pace, ears twitching, nose sniff-sniffing rapidly about as she looks around the corridor without advancing. << Are we going in the wrong direction? >> ~Possibly. Is the goal to find the human or the exit~ << If someone is in danger, we should help them. >> ~It's a trap. To make you weak. We move forward. ~ There is a long pregnant pause from the lupine, then finally, she moves forward, as if agreeing with her feral side. Instincts prevail.

Cannonball has posed:
The halls continue on she will follow this one right then that one left, and through the maze she will travel. Up ahead, she will see the corridors seem to turn to cave walls and ahead of her is a odd skeletal statue that looks a bit odd. with a paper scroll in its hand.

Rage has posed:
As she shifts up into her human skin once more, the loud snaps of bones can be heard echoing through the metal walls. Staring at the skeleton, she reaches out to carefully take the paper scroll out and opens it to begin reading. Andrea, no longer talking to herself in her head, has no wolf to draw upon.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie watches her as she finds musical notes for a song. But as the end of it there is a torn part so the last part is missing, is she to guess, what it is or what she has found?

Rage has posed:
As she reads the notes, Andrea hums the keys outloud, following them until the end. She counts the chords, then looks at the skeleton based organ. Heading over, she places her fingers along the keys, then begins to play as she reads the notes, listening to the music in the air. As she gets to the last note, she notices it has no key on the organ. It's a note that even her own throat won't be able to hit. She paces a bit, looking about the walls before she starts to shift back down. Taking in a deep breath, she lets out a high pitched howl as best she can.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie grins and as the last note is sounded, there is two doors that open, one leads to what seems a forest a rabbit hopping across the path, the other to what looks like Gewndolyn tied up, and a swinging blade dropping steadily towards her, with only a few moments before it cuts her in half.

Rage has posed:
The wolf immediately jerks towards the forest instinctively as the gold eyes gleam at the scent of rabbit in the air. ~Finally, we found the end! I'm starving!~ << No! Gwen needs our help! Save her first, then we get the food. >> The wolf then lurches in the other direction, as if being forcibly tugged. ~I was patient earlier. FEED ME.~ << NO! >> Leaping forward, she blurs upwards into her war form, shooting eight feet tall and shoving the wolf deep down into her gut. She isn't as strong in this form and Andrea knows it. The large werewolf reaches out to time the swinging blade, looking to use her sharp, razor claws to slice through the rope while the other will reach out to snag her friend and tug her free and to her body.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie continues to watch and she is able to free Gwen, but the girl seems unconscious, the other door starts to close, but she may have time to get through it if she acts quickly.

Rage has posed:
Tucking Gwen in against her body tightly and over her shoulder, Rage barrels for the door, lowering herself a bit as her ears slick back, teeth bared. Being that she's eight foot tall and the walls are nine, she already has a back up plan to scale one of them if necessary. She knows she can make the jump, unless of course there are now ceilings. "WAKE. UP." She growls out to Gwen in gutted English. "PLEASE."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie watches her as she makes it through the door, rolling and the forest, Gwen and all fade, and she is back in the middle of the empty danger room "Not bad, not bad, seemed you had a few moments there.

Rage has posed:
After shifting down, Andrea gives a furrow of her brows. "You know how it is. Gotta make everything dramatic." She says as she smooths down her snug uniform to ease any wrinkles away. "I was just trying to work out what the end goal was. The scent of a human went away after I got through the coded door and made me wonder if perhaps I was going the wrong direction."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "It was partially to see what you would do if you would second guess yourself. You did pretty good, can you guess what the main goal was today?"

Rage has posed:
"You were making me swap back and forth between forms to see if I would be able to hold myself together. You know that I have dissociative identity disorder when I'm between forms and you wanted to see if I would be able to control myself to make rational thoughts, or if I'd give myself over to my feral instincts and lose my ability to think clear." Andrea says as she reaches back to snag her hair, tugging it behind her. "She and I have been coming to a better understanding, but I feel that it would be best if someone was to go into my head and maybe help. I'm starting to wake up in the woods out back and missing chunks of time. It's scaring me. I almost ..." She pauses. ".. ate Shannon.. she looked like a big winged chicken to her."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie hmms and says "Well currently the easiest to get ahold of would be either Jean, Emma, or Betsy, do you have a preference of the three?

Rage has posed:
"The last time someone went in my head was The Professor when Mason shot me in the skull with a rock." Andrea says as she rubs the back of her neck instinctively where the scar remains behind her ear. "I have a relationship wtih Miss Frost. I know that Jean is very busy and I don't want to waste her time. I could ask Miss Braddock as well I suppose."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "Want me to see if I can set up a meeting with Miss frost for you?" He will come walking down tot he danger room floor to talk to her easier.

Rage has posed:
"Sure. I don't mind. I do need to talk to her about some business related topics as well. Maybe we can kill two birds with one stone." Andrea says as she offers him a smile once he appears. Her brows lift upwards. "By the way, your brother is escorting me to the concert and I asked him to have dessert with me afterwards. If you're okay with it."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie 's brow raises a bit to this and says "Oh is there something Ah should know?' He smiles a bit thought and taps on a tablet he has with him.

Rage has posed:
"He loves music as much as I do and I enjoy talking to him. He's a nice guy. So I asked him if he'd like to attend the concert as my plus one. I always get dessert after a show, it's tradition and I figured it would be nice to take him along. That's all." Andrea says as she looks curiously at his tapping on the table, lifting up on her toes a bit to snoop. "He joined the Glee Club."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods and is sending a message to Emma, about her wanting to talk to her "Well remember he is still pretty new to the city, so don't spook him to bad. Ah plan on offering him a job working at the club.

Rage has posed:
"We're getting cheesecake. Not going to Times Square." Andrea says with an amused grin on her face. "How you gonna tell me to not spook him but you're gonna offer him a job in a night club?" She gives him a bump of her shoulder to his.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "Well he would have a different way to react around his brother, and a pretty girl Ah would think. Go, get yourself cleaned up, and see if Miss Frost has time for ya." He grins what it with guthrie boys and rock stars.
