"... Umm, a little bit. Not much though," Chika said. "I mean, I know about Zeus and Hercules and that stuff and can probably name a few of the other gods, but I don't really know much about the stories."

Okay! It's nice to meet you Reisen!

*Chika blinks, as if something just suddenly occurred to her.*

Hey, umm... do you know Tei?

It's nice to meet you, too.

Tei?

[Reisen paused in thought for a moment, before shaking her head.]

I'm sorry, I can't say I've met her. Why do you ask?

Well... she has the same bunny ears that you do. I wasn't sure if it was a coincidence or if you two were related.

Not having to be in this class and leaving me alone would be a good start. Venom wasn't sure how to voice his opinion without landing himself in detention. He didn't like sports or any physical activity outside of flying and the occasional game of billiards. But he needed them in order to maintain what was otherwise an impressive GPA.

"Because I prefer using my imagination. I seem to have more freedom that way."

Once Kurt had finished off the last dummy, Alexander's booming voice came from the door, speaking in perfect German.

"That was a most excellent display! You have left your foes speechless in the face of your prowess! Truly a tragedy that they had to perish! If only they had been willing to parley, this all might have been avoided!"

The source of the voice was a grinning seven-foot-tall man in a T-shirt and jeans, the Philosophy and Ancient History teacher who had joined the faculty at the beginning of the year.

Hm... it's not unusual for people to have similar mutations. Though it would actually be the first time I've heard of somebody else with rabbit ears as well. I suppose I'll be seeing her sooner or later.

[And wondering just what coincidence made them end up with the same last names when she finds out...]

Yeah, I guess. I mean, I'm not the only person who can control fire.

Guess it was kinda silly for me to instantly go to that, right?

Right.

[Venom sighs and notices a tree nearby. Instead of possibly sharing the bench with her, he crouches down. He takes off with a powerful wing flap, landing comfortably on a branch.]

[Action-ish post thing, network?]

Alright, students. It has come to my attention that you think my geography classes are a bit difficult, what with the frequent danger room trips to volcanos or underground labyrinths.

[The woman, with her blue hair, the stupid hat that she kept even in class, and the even worse dress, smirked, looking pleased.]

So let's make it easier. For today at least, while I fill out the paperwork.

"Those journeying to heaven do not look back; they ascend the heaven, the
two worlds."

Explain how this relates to geography and exploration, and how eastern philosophy in general ties into it.

[Not that Tenshi had any idea of the answer. She just needed time to work on paperwork, and during classes seemed a perfect time for that.]

-------------------------

[Prose, Log format, not a network post]
The situation was pretty bad. The mad scientist (what with his german accent and tendency to throw up his right arm) had been defeated. Unfortunately, he had been defeated by Tenshi, who had defeated him... by throwing a whole lot of rocks at him.

Which had damaged his equipment. The effect was that some of it had gone haywire, creating a weird "Door" in empty space.

Moments later, things poured out of it. Vile things, with claws, fangs, wild, reptilian eyes...
...and feathers?

Tenshi peered over a table that had been knocked over. Indeed, a whole pack of Velociraptors had gone wild in the laboratory.

"I...guess we should contain those. Well, at least I defeated the scientist guy! One should not discount the good in the bad, lest one wants to avoid heaven forevermore."

You'd be surprised the sorts we get.

Reisen resisted the urge to facepalm. Because that was a surefire way to disrupt her own powers and make them difficult to use.

"You need to work on control," Reisen sighed, at the same time her eyes lighted up briefly to knock away one of the raptors with an optic blast.

Edited 2012-10-07 05:48 (UTC)

"I controlled the guy just fine, not my fault his equipment is this strange." Tenshi replied, while making the rocks she had thrown earlier rise up again on the other side of the room, to pelt another velociraptor, who shrieked.

While its friends seemed busy either moving closer to the makeshift cover that Reisen and Tenshi were at...or leaving the room...

"I didn't mean the scientist, I meant your rocks!" Reisen shot back.

The raptors leaving the room... that would be a problem if they managed to escape into the city and had to be neutralized right away. Her eyes lit up again, but not an optic blast this time.

"Cover me," Reisen ordered.

She focused on the raptors trying to escape, trying to tweak their wavelengths into a state of lethargy.

... she rarely tweaked them the other way. That would most likely give messy results.

"With rocks?" Tenshi asked, fully well knowing that was not what Reisen meant.

She did the cover-job by a)knocking a rock at a jumping Velociraptor, which sent it flying backwards (with a rather surprised expression on its reptilian face) and then b)getting ready for further attacks.

"Whatever weird and embarassing thing you're planning on doing with your eyes, you better hurry!"

Meanwhile, the velociraptor that had just been hit finally got back up, and started to for the table again...

"Control your rocks better!" Reisen shouted back.

Somehow, despite her banter with Tenshi, it wasn't disrupting her work on the raptors trying to leave. It's not like she hasn't worked with Tenshi on a number of missions before. Thus, one by one, the dinosaurs slowly dropped into a lazy stupor onto the ground.

"Why would you even think I'm trying to do anything embarrassing?" Reisen added with a sigh.

"I don't know, you might go cross-eyed if one of them moves badly."

Tenshi said while aiming a rock, throwing a jumping raptor back. It sailed through the air, into the portal, and was gone.

Tenshi, of course, mostly bantered because she could, it was not distracting her too much.It was a pretty exciting situation, actually: She had never seen these odd lizards with their huge talons before.

He scoffs, looking away as he shaking his head.

"Tch. You're a strange one, aren't you?"

"That's not the point..." Reisen sighed, before adding, "I still wonder why they let you join the team."

As long as Tenshi was still keeping the raptors off of them, Reisen was slowly dropping more of them into lethargic stupors.

"Because my abilities are just that great, most likely."

Yeah, humility was not one of her strongest suit.

"And look, it's fine, we contained this stuff. I just hope nothing else comes through the weird portal thing. How DO you close something like this, anyway?"

Well, she was pretty much running with things right now. She liked planning things sometimes, but going with the flow suited her far more than that.

". . ."

Reisen just stared at the portal.

"We should have brought in a techno-path with us," she finally said.

This kind of thing was certainly outside her field of expertise.

"Maybe we should cover it with rocks? Though I guess they would eventually fall into it..."

Tenshi pondered, then pondered some more. "Maybe we could just fill the entire room with BIG rocks? Some could fall through and it wouldn't matter."

Something shrieked in the distance, probably from behind the portal. It sounded rather loud.

"...Or maybe we should just mess with the devices some more."

Reisen hesitated a moment... unfortunately, Tenshi had a good idea. The rabbit earred woman certainly couldn't think of anything else.

"... alright, I suppose we don't have a choice. But we need to get these dinosaurs back through that portal, first. The last thing we need is a real life Triassic Esplanade."

"I guess these birds can't be too heavy." Tenshi remarked, and sighed. "I'll leave the labor to you."

She did move, and happened to go near a velociraptor, too, but clearly was waiting for a retort just the same.

"Are you joking..." Reisen faltered, slapping a hand to her face, "Just get them through, and hurry!"

There's no way these things could be light enough for her to just hoist through on her own power. Tenshi's earth manipulation would be infinitely more reliable for that...
