Building a family [hella open]

[top-teen-38.livejournal.com]

 Slobo had been puttering around the ship for an hour, thinking and looking. He quickly found that if you looked hard enough, between W&P and the City itself, you could find anything. In the end, he was standing outside a Courtyard by Marriott hotel about a click outside of "Escherville" with spraypaint and a very large block of stone. At first he had thought about the Vatican, but it was too wrecked from the zombie fight. Plus, this place had an indoor pool. He spraypainted a large message on the wall next to the door, red with black outline.

"OUTSIDERS
COMMUNITY SERVICE
FIELD TRAINING

PEER COUNSELING" 

 

On the sandwich board tucked near the door, he wrote "12-21? Info and Tryouts inside" and left it out in front. Now, he took his large rock into the lobby and began carving. And waited.

She was smart;conserved her movements. Static has one last thing to do to test her, then he'd be out of ideas. He concentrated his energy between his hands, creating a ball of electricity. When he sent it out, it'd expand like a net; she'd either have to dodge really wide, or have some way to block it. Of course, even if she didn't, by the time it got to her, the energy would be spread out enough not to really hurt... It may be a test, but he wasn't going to injure her.

So he sent the ball.

Nanoha had thrown her own students curveballs enough times to recognize a change in test when she saw one. Despite the wind rushing past their ears, Static might hear a synthetic female voice speak up: "Round Shield."

A flat circle of magenta energy appeared in front of her to catch the electric net and dissipate it harmlessly before fading away.

"Very nice!" Static clapped as he slowed down, letting her catch up. "Alright, so, now I know a bit better what you can do; I'd definitely like to have you on our field team, and maybe teaching a bit too, if you're so inclined. Thanks a bunch for the nice flight; I was needing a good stress reliever." He smiled and turned, heading down towards the 'palace' entrance.

She returned the smile. "I'm happy to help however I can. ...and don't mention it. It's been a while since I've flown like that. I missed it more than I knew."

When he turned to leave, Nanoha followed - might as well meet some of the others, right?

"Being grounded does that to ya..." Static jumped off his board a few feet above the ground in front of the palace. He grabbed and re-folded his board (fun with magnetics!), tucked it into the jacket, and started inside. "I've got to get back to work; I'm trying to get the building systems back online for unlocking all the rooms so people can have actual privacy, and I still need to write up a proposal to the Captain. Feel free to take a look around, though, and pick out a room to call your own."

The wings faded from view as Nanoha touched to the ground, still curious about how exactly the board operated. "All right - I can find my own way around. It was nice to meet you, Static."
