"AAHHHH HIDE ME!" Kelly Burns yelled as he burst through the doors with amazing speed for a guy usually too easily distracted to keep running for long or this fast. "BOBBY DUDE HIDE ME!" he yelled barreling through the students and literally diving over Iceman and Frostbite's ice chair with a speed and height that could only be gained from one hell of an adrenaline rush. "If you see Rogue, tell her I'm not here. Tell her I moved to China, or Africa or Saskatchewan just not that I'm here!" Kelly said from behind the Ice Chairs, peeking his eyes out toward the door slightly fearfully. Rogue had looked a little sad so he thought he'd cheer her up by making her gloves into jam. It was fine except she was fixing her hair at the moment and got the sticky jam in her hair. She wasn't too happy about that, not at all. It was enough to send Kelly running through the mansion screaming at the top of his lungs all the way out the door and huddled behind the chairs as he was now.
"Bobby dude, seriously protect me. I'll give you all my copies of Penthouse and my poster of Charlie's Angels. Just don't let her get meeeeheee!" he whined in fear from behind. It seemed that every teacher at one point or another had been in the brunt of Kelly Burn's antics. Emma Frost being the who hears most often Kelly's 'compliments' regarding her outfits and boobs, Cyclops being pestered with questions about Emma and wanting to know the most random questions with no relevance to anything, Wolverine just being plain out bothered, although as of last year the two are not allowed in the same room without supervision since Kelly turned his cigar into a Snickers bar and had Wolverine chasing him through half the mansion that got completely ransacked and destroyed with Kelly turning everything into food in a panic. He used to screw with Colossus by making everything he touched turn into sugar and would bug Kitty constantly by asking her out and making her computer into a cake once. Iceman was cool though, so they bugged people together or Iceman would laugh when he did. He was probably the only teacher that Kelly listened to, since they were like on the same mind wave at times.
Kelly Burn's eyes peeked from behind Iceman's chair in fear before he hid back down. "Oh man this is not good, she's gonna- hey look a quarter!" He picked up the quarter and looked at it to see what state it was. "Aw man, I always get Kansas. I hate Kansas," Kelly grumbled and threw the quarter.

Lian listened to her mission and nodded. Ok so yeah she had to work with Clutch and they weren't exactly friends. But they weren't enemies either. She just didn't want to hurt the girl since Lian honestly didn't think the Finnish chick was that strong. When it came to controlling her powers, Lian was definitely good at it for the most part. It took her a while to actually get a grip on it and focus on what she was really controlling. But Iceman was right, two forms of telekinesis would definitely be an interesting battle.
She listened to the rest of his instructions and smirked when he told her not to kill anyone. "Aw c'mon Iceman. It wasn't my fault!!!" she whined. "I honestly remember telling Sky 'Dear God, you're on fire dude!!'". The previous lesson was quite the event. Lian and Sky were assigned together (since they pretty much begged Iceman to let them be teamed up at least once) and Lian needed to control the molecules of the objects Sky destroyed. In a way it was like preventing each other's powers from effecting the objects. Long story short, Lian's zippo lighter got to be one of the objects..... imagination can reveal the rest.
Chuckling her ass off, Lian nodded to Clutch giving her a "let's go" signal. It was then that Rumble came, giving Lian the creeps. She didn't hate the dude but staying out of his way was clearly the best option. She looked to Sky to see her drool silently before shaking her head. Calorie's performance made Lian just fall to the floor with laughter. "I love... this.... school..." she yelled in between breaths. And she wasn't lying.

While trying to outsmart the automatic sensors in his head, Onyx head the unmistakable voice of the bane of the student life. Rumble. The guy had no morals and even though he claimed to be so high, mighty and whatever it was amazing to see him not crumble after so much hatred forced his way. Although, he was molded by Emma Frost herself. Apparently she had raised all the Hellions to who they where today. If that was the case, and Rumble was just being normal then when things really got heated up; Onyx was sure he would not be the last one to try and look out for the girls.
Even the guys really. He remembered how Diesel had been buried underground with his girl for sticking up for a friend. Granted, they where wrong to attack him. Their intentions where good enough anyway.
it almost made him growl in disgust at the way he spoke to Aideen. Such a derogatory way of making her seem like ... like she belonged to him. That was most definitely not true and probably would never be true. With almost everyone hating him and, Aideen being the teachers favored student it would be unlikely that they would let anything happen to their star.
Still, it didn't stop him making everyone else angry. Something about the way Ember just seemed to take it made the experience even more frustrating. Jasper knew well that he was not the only person in the area who wanted to punch a solid hole right through the middle of the guys face. Stop him breathing for a while. That would be fun. Give him a bit of a blue face; maybe a few broken ribs that would go unnoticed. Take out that black heart that lurked deep within the very soul of the guy.
If he even had one that was. No-one with a god fearing should would be able to torment and destroy people so willingly and have no care about it. No, unlike Jasper the guy had no conscience. no sense of right or wrong and no common decency to stop when the line had been crossed. The fact that he wasn't even going to be doing anything made it even worse. He would just be observing. Looking ... fantasizing. Every straight guy in the school had probably done the same. But when it was rumble it made everything seem so much worse. So much more perverted and sick.
As Dante had already asked him the most obvious question, Onyx had to chuckle a little. "eet ees not realee a theeng. Eet ees like energy but ees ... dark. Vhen vhe vhere een Limbo eet vas zhe strongest. Zhere vas alot of dark energy zhere. Eet ees strange ... I show jou." Nodding his head a little in thought he waved his hand in front of him, sparking the energy into his palm where an almost sphere of dark matter appeared. It sparked and buzzed. Not a solid object but still there. "Ees strange." He finished with a shrug, waving his hand to dispel the matter.
Looking back at the guy he caught his occasional gaze toward Aideen and Hotwire, causing him to smirk. "Jou like? Join zhe rest of us." He chuckled, clapping the guy lightly on the shoulder before looking back to the door. Hearing a slightly girlish scream coming from the school. unmistakably it was Calorie. With the hilarity of seeing the college student dive behind the ice chairs Onyx couldn't help but let out a heavy laugh. With another shake of his head he continued chuckling. Mumbling in his native German and making sure he was not the loudest to laugh. 'How did he ever get to a college grade?'

Bobby stopped saying hi to everyone and shook in silent laughter at Kelly's antics. That kid was pretty cool and kind of immature, but sure as hell was the funniest kid in the entire school. He may not all be there all the time, but he knew how to have fun. "Throw in the Angelina Jolie copy of Maxim and we got a deal Kelly," he yelled over his shoulder and laughed to himself. Bobby saw the looks from the new kids and those who weren't use to Kelly and waved them off. "This happens often, you'll all get used it," he said to the new kids before going back to his clipboard and giving out challenges. He kept his eye on the older kids in front of him, watching interactions with slight bouts of worry going through him, but he'd deal with them later.
"Okay Riker, you are working with Lymited~Ink, Coffee, and Kelly. It's gonna be competition based on animal senses, your job is to use your other animal senses, not counting on sight to get through the obstacle course while blindfolded. The trick is that Kelly will be plant traps of food that give off the least scent and you need to detect when where and how its place. Oh and Kelly, stick to the ground and not clothes please," Bobby yelled behind him. He reached out to pound his fist to Coffee's little paw. "Knock 'em dead Coffee, and feel free to sock Kelly a good one if he makes any of the girl's clothes into food," he said with a smirk to the little rabbit fighter.
"Tia! It's good you're finally saying hi to me! Now all you gotta do is gimme a smile and I'll be chill," Bobby said to the younger girl and gave her a bit of a crooked grin to coax one out of her. "You my wind maker friend, will be working with TuneUP and Hardlight. Listen up guys, you get a cool one. Tia here has been working on lifting objects in the air, so you two are going to try and create the most aerodynamic object you can. Tia, when they do that you're gonna blow them in the air and use some of that wind control you been getting better at to make them fly in the wind. Now Sean and Kevin you guys gotta work on getting it done as quickly as possible and Tia, you gotta work to keep what they created up in the air smoothly at the same time. If it goes well and you're all confident in it, you can try your creations out on a spin in the air with Tia's help. Good luck," Bobby said to the three students that were his soft spot. Tia because she was the youngest, just like he was and he wanted to get her out of her shell. Kevin and Sean both used their hobbies around their powers and he thought it was rather clever.
Glancing over at Rumble, Bobby kept his cool and lost some of the humor he had been feeling. He had no intention of a repeat of last class. "Alright Rumble, chill out then for this class. I don't wanna hear you starting any of that stuff you pulled in last class. This is a massive class and I don't have the time to waist on keeping you from getting killed. If you're gonna distract them from their work, then leave. Otherwise I'm not promising I'll stop the next person you bother," Bobby said without looking up from his clipboard. He was always very straight with his students and at this point knew how to approach them. Rumble thrived on the attention, but Iceman was no babysitter, he wasn't going to hold a twenty four year old by the hand and smack at it if he did something wrong. Bobby knew that Rumble knew exactly what he was doing, and if he was willing to take all those beatings that was his business. All the teachers were well aware Ember knew how to take care of herself and was someone to cross with. If Rumble wanted the full blast of pushing this girl to the edge, that's his business.
"Let's see is TrueSpirit here... Oh okay here he comes," Bobby said spying the Native American Shaman coming out of the woods with his giant bear by his side. "Alright the rest of you listen up. I want this all to go smoothly and without anyone being sent to Beast. All I'm asking you to do is try and not severely injure or kill anyone in the process. I'll be watching you all if you need me," he said trying to look all serious before cracking a grin. "Well whaddaya all still staring at me for, get to it!" he said to the group and laughed as everyone scrambled off to their assigned challenges. He turned to the remaining group and beckoned them to come closer. "Ariel these sparks between are gonna blackout one day," Bobby said with a wink to her while the group gathered together. "Ok Hotwire and Haven." He pointed to the Corsair and Acolyte. "Ember and Diesel. In those teams you two are gonna go against each other in a little race of a sorts. You need to find materials to build a raft or a boat as quickly as possible using the random and odd materials I left in front of the boat house. You can use anything in the environment. when you build them you gotta use them to get across the lake and back," Bobby said winking at them and pointing to the lake where they would be working. Iceman didn't feel a need to supervise them cause he trusted them. Ariel he'd known for years and felt comfortable of her being on her own, Ian he knew was the unofficial leader of his team and would be fine on his own as well. Haven, though a little rough around the edges, had a good head on her shoulders and Ember he learned to trust quickly without question. They'd be fine on their own.
When they walked off Bobby finally turned to Katana with a more serious look on his face. "I'm not gonna cast you out kid, but I don't trust you to explore new parts of your power until you get more control of your emotions. That being the case, you can help someone else and maybe if you're smart you'll get something out of it. Mato my man, I'm giving you free reign of the woods by the school. Your challenge is to be a guide to Katana and maybe see how far you can go with the healing of the spirit. She won't give you any trouble, and report to me at the end of class and let me know how it goes," Bobby said throwing a warning look at her that let her know clearly to not give TrueSpirit any trouble.
When those two walked away, Bobby stood up and grabbed Lorelai to come up with him. "Alright Mini-me let's boogie. K'8, keep an eye on these group of hooligans will ya? Make sure they're during the assignments," he said with a wink at the little goth girl. He had already made it clear she's his second in command out here and it gave her a chance to assert herself. Putting his hand out in front of him an ice slide started. Bobby pulled Lorelai up next to him, still keeping a hold on her for her to get her balance. "Alright, I'll make the ice slide, you get your balance and we got some work to do Mini-me." Bobby winked at her and held on to her as he used his ice slide to carry them off to the area by the edge maze, tightening his grip if it looked like she was losing her balance.

K'8 watched as the students moved off slightly confused and some even outright frightened...worried for their grades or for fears that ran far deeper yet. Hearing Iceman leave her to monitor her peers and trusting her to keep some order, since everybody liked this class and the teacher most of the kids did what they were supposed to without much prompting anyway, she wasn't worried about following that request. She turned to look over her shoulder with some parting words and saw their teacher and his protege' skating off with a SKWOOSHHH

"OOoohh Chase don't spin me!" Sky whined when holding on to his neck, looking a little green. "I think I'm gonna-*BUUURRRRRRRRRPP*[/color]," she let out the loudest burp she ever produced. Her whole body shook from it, and she could have sworn it echoed. It lasted for at least thirty seconds and when she finished, Sky was completely out of breath and slumped on his back. "Wow... that was INSANE!" she said and started laughing as she wiggles on Chase's back so he could let her down. "Dude... I never burped like that before. EVER!" she said looking up at him with wide eyes and started laughing. "Oooh whoo that was awesome. Ok I'll see you in a bit. Don't get too many bruises," Sky said with a laugh and gave Chase a punch in the arm for spinning her around when she was sick.
Sky walked over to the pit of balls and jumped right in them. "Weee. Aw this is great," she said sitting in the pile of balls. Sky reached a hand out toward one of the balls, not touching it but concentrating really hard, trying to make that feeling course through her that happened whenever she was touching something and wanted it to be a cloud of dust. "C'mon, C'mon..." she whispered.

With a wave of her hand to the rest of the Acolytes Haven looked over to Hotwire and said "Well, girl? You ready?" she'd never teamed with her before but the girl was one of Ember's Corsair team mates so she had to be all that and a dash of awesome. Haven had no problem with the girl's sexuality either, it wasn't common knowledge but there was 'the rumor' and most times rumors proved to have at least a grain of truth to them. Regardless though, Niki had no issues with lesbians or gay guys or transpeople either, she'd seen all kinds and frankly if she liked somebody she didn't feel she needed to justify it. Conversely if she hated somebody, and she hated most, she didn't apologize for it. "Let's get going chika, we'll show them what a couple of Latinas can do eh?" she headed off to the boathouse with the other three that had been given permission to depart and left the rest there with Iceman. She'd have to wait until later to hear all about what happened with the rest of them, and she was sure she would. The challenges that had been passed out were different, and compelling and she wondered if Iceman would be able to watch them all but then she heard him tell D'mnchyld to watch and she remembered how it went the last time they had all gathered for the Power Manipulation class. It was easy enough for him to watch them from his ice slide. He had whipped around them all, seemingly arriving just in time to witness each challenge he had layed before the students. She herself had wondered how he'd keep tabs on everybody, but what he might have missed K'8 had picked up on rather aptly. It would be a shame to be apart from the mass of students gathered on the lawn, but the challenge she and her two dearest friends along with the Brazilian Corsair had been handed would mean they would separate from the rest.

"Ugg man! That reeks, damn Sky blow that stink somewhere else." He grinned at his 'f-buddy' as she burped and left a gut bubble float out to greet him. "But on a lighter note it was the smartest thing you said all day." He watched her flop into the pile of balls and laughed at her childish behavior.
"Yo!" he hollered back to her as he trotted off on his toes to take his position in front of the mechanical firing squad. "Iceman doesn't know just how much you like to play with balls, HaHaHAAA!" He watched her as she tried her power at a range and almost lost himself in memory of her 'play' from when she was with him. Thankfully the whirr of the tennis ball macines starting up drew him back to the present and he heard the 'PHTHOO' - 'PHTHeew' - 'PHThooo' sound as they began firing off their first salvo at him.

When it was finally time for her to start doing something besides sitting on her little ice chair, Lorelai got up with a smirk as everyone started going off to do their things. She turned to look at Rumble lounging next to the ice chairs and smirked flirtaciously. "Don't hurt yourself too much now, my hands are a bit full," she said with a wink as she turned away to get on the ice slide with Iceman. She didn't know what she was expecting it to be like, but she couldn't help having balance problems. It was okay though, she was holding onto Iceman and he was making sure she didn't fall off.
Because he seemed to be zooming around the grounds and checking up on everyone, Lorelai tried to use it as a way to figure out how to get and keep balance while going around on the slide. Once she figured out the basics of the way she needed to stand with certain moves she realized it was sort of the way she worked when skateboarding, and with thinking like that, getting the hang of balancing while sliding around would be easier. The sliding itself sort of reminded her of her ice pipe in Limbo, except now she could see where she was going and there were turns and she knew it was safe since it was Iceman doing the leading and he had her in case she would fall.
When she wasn't wincing about her occasional faltering balance, Lorelai was smirking as she could look down on everyone as they passed by underneath, thinking it was totally awesome she could get to go for a ride on the ice slide. She couldn't wait to be able to do it herself sometime, soon if she could manage to work it. When she and Iceman finally got to the area by the hedge maze, she got off and sort of planted her feet on the ground for the sake of having balance on grassy ground again and smirked at Iceman. "So, what are we teaching me today, or challenging me with, as it were?" she asked, shifting her weight onto one foot as she rested a hand on her hip.

A weak smile broke across Tia's lips at Iceman's rather over-enthusiastic welcome, even though she thought of him as rather over the top, she was used to his only too cheery attitude and actually quite liked Iceman seeing he was always fairly decent to her. Plus he tried his best to make her feel comfortable and didn't really treat her like some tiny kid unlike some of the other older people. I've only tried lifting light easy stuff with the wind, if it's aerodynamic... doesn't it mean it'll be more wind-resistant? Oh... well... I can give it a try.
Tia shifted closer to TuneUp and Hardlight - she didn't really interact much with the two but she'd spoken to Hardlight a bit seeing he was quite close to Veronika. She hadn't made up her mind about Hardlight yet to whether she liked him or not - but she knew that he wasn't someone who she totally hated because he was friends with Frosty too - but since his outburst in Science class - Tia wasn't sure if he like the other Acolytes was going to go all 'Anti-Frostbite' now.
"I'll just... warm up while you work." Tia stated in her dead tone, turning around quietly to look at Frostbite and a idea flickered into her head. Tia aimed her concentration at Frostbite's hair, feeling the connection with the wind in her mind as she slowly raised her hands and watched Frostbite's hair stand up and the wind speed up around Frostbite. Tia flicked her hands closer together as if about to clap and allowed a small smile to light up her face as she saw Frostbite's hair strands interwine. Tia dropped her hands and watched Frostbite's now messed up hair drop on her back - though much to Tia's amusement - Frostbite wasn't the only one she'd affected. By the looks of it, Tia had called for too much wind and she'd not only interwined Frostbite's hair, but Iceman's too.
"Oops." she mouthed in her team-mate and teacher's direction before winking at Frostbite and turning around to look at Hardlight and TuneUp.

After Mato and Haven had parted, he opted to spend his meal by a river in the forest, a spot he found that he greatly favored. He meditated for awhile, asking the spirits for courage and giving thanks for another day. Mato often wondered if he would be able to travel through the spirit worlds as Shaman Achak described, perhaps as a goal to work on in his studies. He tracked back to Iceman's class just in time, seeing the high spirited students that gathered around eager to start class.
He watched the other students in the room, taking in those of new and those of old. His river gray eyes went right to the newer of the males, who caught his eye for several reasons. First and foremost because of the way he was staring at Aideen and Ariel. Though Mato would never disrespect either of the two women by getting involved in their business, he did like to keep an eye on them, particularly Aideen for she did not need another admirer like Rumble. The second reason the young man caught his eye was then Siberian tiger that stood proudly next to him.
It amazed Mato that there could be such a high amount of wild feline spirit together in one place as was in this school. It was intriguing for wild felines generally have a strong connection toward one another, and they were quite rare as well. The Spirit of the Cougar and the Spirit of the Lion were rare and honored by many tribes and both spirits belonged to residents in the school, being Aideen and Cyclops. The Spirit of the Snow Leopard that Wolverine possessed was perhaps the rarest of all. As far as Mato knew, no one had embodied the spirit for generations past now according to his tribe. Mason as well embodied the Spirit of the Cheetah, a rare as well. Many wild felines were witnessed generally once in a lifetime, and it amazed Mato before that so many came to one place, but now he was already making plans to write Shaman Achak and inform him of the five wild felines in the school. The Spirit of the Siberian Tiger possessed by the newest addition to the school had Mato stop and look for a moment. The Siberian Tiger... a great and powerful feline spirit. There is none who embody the strength and willpower in the face of adversity as the Siberian Tiger. Impulsive as they may be in actions, they always act in a timely manner rarely missing their goal. He will be an interesting addition to the school, his strong spirit that remains a loner by nature will find companionship and solace in the school with those of his own kind, Mato thought, and concluded that his gaze at the girls was harmless. Whether they were aware of it or not, Aideen and Ariel received a great deal of attention together or apart from males in particular, the boy's stare mirrored others they have received quite often in the past.
He listened to Iceman closely, watching his both concerned and excited Walrus next to him. His glance went to Katana, the girl who always had the scared and cornered alley cat by her feet. Mato was well aware that many of the younger students felt a strong animosity toward her. He often wondered how long it would take the girl to get a grasp of who she really was, but he feared it may have been too late for her to get her classmates to understand. Nonetheless, Mato held nothing against the girl and was willing to help guide her to herself if that was what she wanted. "Come, we can take the trail around the lake," he said when Iceman dismissed them. Mato lapsed into silence as they left the other, keeping his gaze straight ahead and not on the black spirit of Rumble. He would allow Katana to start, feeling that it would be better if she put the effort in first.

Gavin walked with Taffy and gave her a big grin. "Did you just call me hot? You did didn't you, HA! I knew you wanted me!" he accused with and laughed, flying up in the air above her. "God Ricki I hope you can focus on the challenge and peel your eyes away from me for awhile. I know, I know, it will be hard cause I am just that hot," he joked with a laugh while toward the tree and puffing his lean chest out for emphasis and winking down at her as he flew over to the tree. and went lower to the branch where the first flag was perched. "Feeling hot, hot, hot. I am so hot, hot, hot," Gavin sang to tease Ricki some more and used the Jamaican voice that Chase used sometime as well.
He flew in a circle around her and gave her a silly grin. "Ready anytime you are Rubber girl," he said sticking his tongue out at her and then tested the strength of his wings. With his back to the tree he clapped his wings back carefully trying to control the gust of wind. He miscalculated the strength cause the flag that was firmly cemented in the tree flew right off. "Uh oh," Gavin said and flew after it, diving down and grabbing it just before it hit the ground. Flying class had him perfect his dives which used to give him a lot of trouble. Now he would go really high in the air and swoop down straight to the ground in a neat dive, sometimes only mere inches from the ground when he pulled himself up.
"Yea, yea I misjudged that, but I won't again," Gavin said confidently though he wasn't sure. He tended not to realize the strength of his wind gusts and it was usually way too strong. He placed the flag back securely in its place. "Let's do this," he said and waited till Ricki had stretched up before he started his wind gust much gently than before but still strong. At least for now.

Kevin's first love, in the scientific wolrd at lest, had been geometry but close behind was physics. He had little in the way of friends at his old school, actually none to speak of, so he had put a lot of effort into studying. All that changed when he discovered his mutant gift and he found himself putting away the textbooks to explore his creative side more and letting himself express through his light sculpts the pains of his young life. His represion of his sexuality, at least at first until he decided to boldly anounce it to his parents. Then his next expressive period was of his coming out then followed after by his imaginative phase, all of which took place in the course of a month or two before he came to the Xaviers as he seemed to do nothing but think of sculpting light and sculpt it whenever he could, he had to it was so fun to do and he just had to do it like a cumpulshun, and his grades dropped harshly fast. This challenge though took him back to a time before then when he was still an excepshional student and on the honor roll of his class.
"Lift, oh yea, lift I remember. Ummmm, a force-" he rubbed his little chin for a moment "A force perpundiculer to the oncoming flow direction of the fluid a body is supspended in. In this case air. So as the air flows at a body, well these things were gonna make are the 'body' ok, and the lift can oppose it in any parallell direction." He smiled over at Sean.
"Most peopel think of lift in the way it oppses gravity, but turning banking and discending all require lift, just in different directions but they're all parrallell to the air flowing at the body. You got it?" He looked at Tia to see if she was following him as he had made some sweeping arm gecstures and tried to illustrate what he was talking about. "It's sorta in a contest with drag, and that's the force that is going the same way as the flow direction. So really It's gonna be up to you Tia, if you think about it, to actually fly these things we make bacause we can only make them do just so much from here."
He kneldt down on one knee and tried to picture what he would make. "Ok so mines gonna pull up at about 45degrees to the relative flow you push at it, at least I think I can make it pull that hard, so all you have to do is direct the flow and when you want to bank it or turn it or bring it down it'll mean you will have to alter the direction of the air flowing at it. You get it?" He looked up at her hoping he hadn't lost her, but knowing she and Niki had been doing something with airfiol design for their Beast project he hoped she had kept up with his ramblings.
He started in on his sculpt. It was a beautiful golden and pink color that light had on fantastic sunset days and he felt it suited the mood he was going for with the design. It was a tube about three feet long and wide at the front. It reminded him of a whale with it's mouth open until he bent the light out of it forming wings that were long and slightly swept back with the tip doing a strange squiggle at the end before flopping downward. It had no tail because the open tunnel of a feusalage would provide stability and turnability since it was designed to catch what was coming at it and direct it through itself to increase speed.
He looked it over and said "Weird looking, I know, but it should do the trick. Just hit it like this way-" and he walked up towards it showing her the best direction to get it started from. "-then to turn it you'll want to change the direction of the air to get it from more of like a this direction." He showed her the angles to turn it from. "Oh and whatever you do Tia, don't stop hitting it with wind because it will fall like a pregnanat nun and it could really hurt somebody, so to bring it down corkscrew it into a turn real hard and flip it over, then the lift will be downward- get it? And before it crashes you'll want to slow the airflow so it coasts back up a bit- you know like if you slowed the air when it was right side up it would drop slightly- and then just let it land real smooth, that's why the tips of the wings point down, so when it lands they don't jab into the ground and snag and make it shatter."
He grinned at her, with his part done and looked over at TuneUp to see what he had come up with. Then he said "Whoa that looks awesome Sean, holy-" *shwoooo* he whistled. "Tia? You okay? Can you handle it? I'm confident this thing will fly for you, you should do great!" he walked over and smiled as he nodded encuragingly at her.

"Oh yea Gavin, I so can't resist you. Oh how will I be able to take my eyes off you?" Ricki rolled her eyes at her own sarcastic comment. "Pssh, please - I bet a million girls have called you hot. Now that I think of it, guys would've too." She stuck her tongue out before shaking her head slightly and stopping by the base of the tree. She flexed her hands to get ready, the first branch would be easy, she could keep her balance.... or maybe not. "Dude, If you keep up that wind strength, I really will end up flying like a rubber band while I'm aiming for the top stuffs." Ricki pointed out - Pssh. Silly bird boy.
"Okay you're on bird boy." Ricki grinned as she held her hands out in front of her and stretched her muscles. Her hands extended in front of her and as she pushed her hands slightly higher up, she made it a point to punch use her left hand Gavin's chest even though the force exerted was not that high due to her muscles being spread out and used that move as a distraction to have her right hand dodge the bird boy and grab the flag behind. "Shame bird boy!" she grinned, chucking the flag by her feet before side-step-jumping slightly to reposition herself and aim for the next flag.
Her hands stretched further as she accidentally ended up twirling her arm around the branch in the process. She sighed as she looked over at Gavin, "Er - bit of help sil vous plait?" she called out, "C'mon! You're supposed to be a team mate! - Working together and all! Y'know?" she flashed another grin in his direction.

"It will have fun today." Clutch said gently, smiling down at Ripple who was laughing to herself on the ground. Offering a hand down to her, Ana helped her up before the two of them walked towards the Gymnastic blocks. Such a childish task. 'Build a fort. A FORT! How old does he believe me to be? At least It is something simpler than last week and Ripple does work well. As long as nothing bursts into flames I will be fine.' The images of the previous week flashed in her head and made her sigh silently to herself.
"I never had good building skills. A fort was something my sisters made, not me." She said with a laugh, standing separate from her partner and thinking to herself for a bit. Ripple was able to sit out until this fort was at least habitable. So she wanted to make sure it wouldn't fall as soon as the ground moved.
The task itself was easy enough though and after a bit of effort even lifting the blocks off the ground and maneuvering them so they sat in a very crude square about three blocks high - not enough to hide Ana from the shoulders up, but close enough. The blocks sat very plainly in order one on top of the other, not like brick work but in simple straight lines upwards.
"How does it seem? Like a fort?"She asked with a laugh from the inside; having trapped herself inside stupidly. "Do you think it will hold against the task?"
