Cassie looks up. "I just need a little time to think things through ma'am, I'll be fine." smiles shyly, but doesn't elaborate. "When I get them straight, I am sure I will need someone to talk to."

Cassie turns to see the other students, nodding to Ace as he winks to her, but for the most part she is still mulling her revelations over.

Ryan sighs. That UN suit only sees a bunch of teenagers to exploit. Maybe I should call a lawyer. And I was NOT acting angry. I just wanted some answers.

Still, we should have passed. We adapted to new situations pretty well. We were able to get a few answers, assuming the little brat was telling the truth. Our teamwork could use some help; we each went against our own duplicate. Still, makes sense. Maybe I should have tried to help Anika out. I have to remember she isn't used to people always trying to kill her. How long ago was that, since I first came here?

Being an elite sure has screwed up my life. Oh well. I had better make the best of it. And find those punks who keep hunting me and make them pay.

Ryan smiles cheerily at Jimmy and his band of cronies. "Hello!"

Ignoring any response, he walks away towards the showers, wondering what step to take next.

Ignoring any response, he walks away towards the showers, wondering what step to take next.

Jimmy Li regards Ryan for a moment, "Yeah hello, nice job in there Comet, guess your not a total dork." The rest of his buddies chuckle a little, but it is an uneasy laugh, as Ryan makes his way towards the showers... and for the most part the rest of the teens eventually are ushered to the showers, and given the rest of the day to relax while the instructors and staff go over the problems with the Black Room, along with Tommy...

For the most part the restriction still has not been lifted on leaving the campus, but rumors fly of students sneaking out, like Billy and Isabelle, however unlikely a couple that may be, the rumors do fly.

By afternoon, the students are relaxing, doing whatever it is that they do to relax, OOC: I will leave where you are to your own design, and work from there. But the main buzz outside of the events of the morning, and the teen Elite team "Legacy", there is the scoop on the dance, and who is taking whom, and who wants to hook it up with whom. Oh and care packages fro various students arrive, among them James, Anika, Kiyana, and John all recieve something from home...

Meanwhile Ryan recieves another message...

Hey,

I guess I am going to apologize, I should get the hint, I am sorry to bother you. I didn't mean to, and I guess you must get lots of fan mail for being an elite, so I promise not to bother you anymore, I mean you go and save the world and all, right? That is what elites do right? So umm, my english is not so good, but please be careful, I would feel very sad if you got hurt.

PS: Be safe!

Meanwhile Anika finds a message on her computer screen, it flashes as she enters, and then opens, responding to her presence in the room, and a casual retinal scan, it is Star's face, and she has a cold, almost mechanical smile, "Hello, Anika, I have been informed by Tommy that we did not hit it off, very well. I believe that is the proper term. I would like for us to be friends, Tommy says it would be good for me, to make friends. It would make me more human, to learn the complexities of emotional development, and human interaction. I hope you take me up on my offer."

Tommy cracks a grin, "Yeah but it had nothing on you buddy, your the man, your like a shoe in for the team. Dude I saw the way that double was like taunting you, and I was like man no way. Mark would never do that kind of stuff, and you were woosh... and it was like whoh!"

"Sure." Mark beats a quick retreat to the showers.

"Sure." Mark beats a quick retreat to the showers.

The showers are refreshing, a chance to get cleaned off, relax, and well recharge. Outside some of the students are getting dressed many of them give Mark a wide berth, not out of any animosity, but it seems out of respect, like he is the big guy on campus. Tommy comes trolling out of the showers, and smirks up to Mark, "Man that feels good, so I got this idea, Mark. I want Star to get more practice with uhh being around people, you want to take her to the dance? I mean that would be cool right, I mean she is cute right?"

Meanwhile Anika finds a message on her computer screen, it flashes as she enters, and then opens, responding to her presence in the room, and a casual retinal scan, it is Star's face, and she has a cold, almost mechanical smile, "Hello, Anika, I have been informed by Tommy that we did not hit it off, very well. I believe that is the proper term. I would like for us to be friends, Tommy says it would be good for me, to make friends. It would make me more human, to learn the complexities of emotional development, and human interaction. I hope you take me up on my offer."

"It wants me to help it become more human?" Anika thinks, staring blankly at the monitor. She sighs and shakes her head. I guess it's safer to be it's friend than it's enemy. Who knows, maybe with my help I can make it more like that Data guy from Star Trek and less like something from Terminator or Matrix..."

Anika thinks a moment, trying to figure out how to word her response, and begins to record, "Hi, Star. No, we didn't hit it off well at all. I was taken aback by how life-like you are, and I was a bit tired from my flight from Spain. I'm kind of surpised you're asking me to be a friend, but I guess I'm flattered, too. Sure, I'll help you. And here's your first lesson on human interaction. Humans don't normally IM others asking them to be their friend. Friendship isn't something you ask for, it has to be earned through trust and comradery. So, I'm not your friend yet, but I'm sure that'll change soon."

A slight smile comes to Anika as she sends the message. "This is kinda cool, actually. I can speak blunt and logically and she won't take it the wrong way. She could actually make a great friend...assuming she doesn't turn on Tommy and try to take over the world. I watch too many movies..."

About ten minutes later, Anika's door opens, and in walks Star, "Hello Anika, good afternoon. I hope you are doing well, thank you for helping me, my databanks are filled with examples of human interaction, but little practical experience. I beleive the term used in days past is girlfriends, we could be girlfriends."

Star pauses, "I would like to know who you think is cute? What are you wearing to the dance, do you have a date yet?" her voice unlike her appearance is relatively flat, and mechanical in tone.

 

[Tokiwong]

Edit cause I posted one too many times.

Star pauses, "I would like to know who you think is cute? What are you wearing to the dance, do you have a date yet?" her voice unlike her appearance is relatively flat, and mechanical in tone.

Anika's eyes are saucer-sized at this point..."Okay, first, you don't walk into someone's personal room without knocking first and waiting for an invitation. It's a little thing called privacy," she says, shaking her head, but smiling.

"As for the dance...I haven't given it a lot of thought. I don't know everyone really well yet, we've been training a lot since I got here.

"Billy's kinda cute, I guess. So's Yoshi, but he seems kinda full of himself. Ryan might be if he wasn't such a downer. Mark's kind of a jerk, but he's got nothing on Jimmy and Zero in that department. I think James is going with Kiyana. I haven't had the chance to talk with John much, but he seems nice."

Anika looks at Star. "This is just my opinion, you know, so don't go saving it in your database as fact..."

Anika looks at Star. "This is just my opinion, you know, so don't go saving it in your database as fact..."

Star nods, "So if you find them cute, then I can assume you find them physically attractive, if that is so, then is that the basis of human relationships. I had assumed based on relative data that it was an emotional, mental, and physical bond of some sort. It is curious that it would be emotional, I have found that emotions are the least reliable facets of the human experience."

"They change quite quickly, I have observed Tommy, and I find him to be a fairly logical creature, but he makes strange decisions, some that are purely illogical, or perhaps not well-thought out," Star continues, "one would think that he would realize that Mark does not like him, as much as Tommy thinks he does, but perhaps he sees what he wants to see."

Star then paces the room, her face blushing, and a cheery smile passing across her face, her voice mimicing Anika's fairly closely, "I think Billy's cute, and Ryan is pretty cute, but he always looks so sad, and Mark well there is something to be said of a rebel..." she giggles, looking every bit the young teen-aged girl, she was crafted to be.
