"Tundra," she had quickly put in, her tone cheerful yet again. "I smell like ice? That's interesting; not what the perfume said, though." She didn't actually wear perfume very often, but it was common enough in Kalos to have become something she joked about often. An unfamiliar flash of movement from the edges of her peripheral caught her attention as she slipped through the second hole in the wall, and she glanced back as the girl who looked like a Rock Type of sorts addressed the figure. A person who looked to be in the same situation as they was walking behind them, one she hadn't noticed previously. Had they been there the whole time?? She raised a hand in a little wave, a friendly smile playing across her face.

Oasis was flung into the air suddenly by the shaking earth; well, not quite flung, more of pushed, and not by the ground itself, by what he assumed was the application of his Levitate ability in human form. Beside him, Ocha was also hovering, glaring at the Weather Trio. Without warning, her arm glowed with a bright white-blue light as she made a slicing motion towards them, sending an Air Slash rending across the slowly settling landscape. He couldn't blame her for the action; they'd been attacked. Retaliation was the most logical action. However, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquza were dangerous. He knew it. Yes, they had the advantage in numbers and perhaps in available attack types at their disposals, but weather was unpredictable, and the three of them even more so. Brute force wouldn't get them very far.

His sister's Flying attack was met with seeming ease by Zephyr's Dragon Claw. The green haired man raised an eyebrow. "This is our competition?" The Latios gritted his teeth. There were a lot of them. Maybe if some in the back could sneak away, then flank them? he attempted to broadcast with telepathy. At the look Ocha gave him, he was shocked realized it had worked, at least for her. Yes, if they could flank the three siblings and maybe even knock them out, they could... would they kill them? No, he decided firmly to himself. Killing these Pokemon would be wrong, at least right here, right now. If they continued to pursue them, depending on how much they hurt them, it might become more of an option, but for the moment, he wanted to let Arceus make the judgement on their behaviors. After they got the plates back, that was.

Tundra whipped around, staring with wide eyes in the direction the other girl was yelling. Daring or encouraging their adversaries didn't seem like a good idea... Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her veil-membrane-hair fold in on itself a bit and turn a blue-black tint around the edges. So that was her color of fear; interesting. Focus on that discovery, hide the terror, she instructed herself. Stupid hair.

Quickly, the young woman shifted her position so her arms were crossed, head tilted to the side a bit. Her "hair" unfurled as she tried to will it to hang still, though it wasn't as easy as controlling an arm or leg or something like that. She just hoped none of them knew enough about whatever Pokemon she seemed to have taken on the traits of to interpret it. Her stature was confident, but her mind was racing. Would Stone Edge work again? It certainly couldn't be a panacea. They must have some measures in place here to prevent escapees, and giant forceful rocks from nowhere likely wouldn't get them out of everything. Same with her other little attacks, as well as those of the others. If they didn't hurry, they wouldn't have a chance.

"Oh, through the wall works, too!" she chirped, hurrying forwards and joining the other girl in peaking through the gap. She was a bit miffed at the immediate disregard for her own suggestion, but that was just her being sensitive, she knew. Besides, this was more effective.

As she ducked quickly through the hole, the coast seemed clear, for now. Who knew how much longer they had, though? That scientist hadn't seemed like a slacker, that was for sure. "Onwards, Fire Dude and other poor unfortunate souls!" she grinned. Just be silly. Be funny, be silly, be happy. They'll want to keep you around that way. From years of practice, her technique was near-perfection, her tone flawless. No one could have guessed the joking, the smiles, were forced, faked, even, and that really, deep down, she was more terrified than she'd ever been.

She smiled reassuringly at the fire bug man. He'd seemed a bit unsteady at first, and she attributed it to being still disoriented. His horns, if that was what they were, seemed familiar, but she'd not studied many Pokemon from outside of Kalos, her Johtonian Kingdra being a gift from her older sister a week before Tephra had run off, leaving their family. She pushed that memory away, though, as she'd trained herself to do. Her sister didn't matter anymore.

As the Mist began to clear, largely, she assumed, due to the heat emitting from the man, which didn't have as much of an effect on her now that they were in a more open area, she realized there were large jagged spikes of rock near her door and this one. They look like Stone Edge, she recalled. That must have been it. Running through what she'd done to cause them in her mind, she recalled how she'd focused on something piercing up with force the first time and then rocks doing that the second time. Without thinking much, she tried it again. Stone Edge blasted out in a circle around her, none close enough to hurt the others with her. Most smashed into other cell doors, and the collective sound of crunching metal echoed around the hall. She yelped, jumping back and covering her mouth quickly.

Her face flushed with embarrassment. "Sorry..." she muttered, lowering her hand and rubbing the back of her neck. Forcing herself to calm down from the sudden panic, she noticed the veil behind her had turned a pale ruddy color. Great, did it reflect every emotion? No, she decided, probably just the more extreme ones. Shaking her head, she responded quickly. "He said he'd be back. With reinforcements. I'd say we run to the right and take our chances. This guy here, who I'm assuming is known only as Fire Dude, can probably melt through anything I can't break."

"Tundra Steele, at your service!" she chirped, suddenly cheerful. The sight of the talking Pokemon temporarily had her on edge, but why not, in a place like this? Might as well bring it with. Waving away the Mist with a hand in hopes to put him more at ease and make it so he could see her better, she accidentally used the strange veil as well; it seemed to react somewhat to her emotions. "And I'm not exactly sure, but that can be determined later. Unless you both want to be "experimented" on some more, it may behoove you to get out. Door's open."

Despite the circumstances, she was trying to be as amiable as possible, she really was. Wouldn't do her any good to make them think she was a jerk. Which she wasn't, not normally. She wanted to go further into the cell and prompt the man to follow her, but the heat was really starting to wear on her, and she found herself longing for snow. Not the strangest thing she'd experienced that day, but she'd never actually seen snow in person, much less touched it, and somehow now knew how it felt. Guess I am sort of an Ice Type now, if that's how that works.

A loud noise from behind her in the hall caused her to whip around to see a young boy who bore uncanny resemblance to a Luxray, a Pokemon she was quite familiar with. Goodness, another one? How many people had these scientists, if they could ethically call themselves that, done this to?

Ri whirled into the Great Hall, a minor mess of papers and quills in her arms; she had rushed out of the Common Room before shoving it into her bag, but seeing as how it was just a while after the beginning of the year, there weren't too many. Yet. She tumbled into an open seat at the Hufflepuff table in the center of a mixed group of Fifth and Six Years that she hung out with at times. A couple greeted her with waves, but most just glanced up, smiled quickly, then went back to what they were doing. The brunette shoved her stuff into her large yellow handbag with compartments that were meant to be organized files but really just contained whatever papers had migrated into them. How was it possible to be so early in the year and yet such a wreck?

Finally wrangling it all in, she dropped her elbows onto the table and held her head in her hands for a moment before sitting up. Can't let them think anything's off! she thought to herself, forcing positivity and cheerfulness into her mental tone. She quickly snatched an egg white and dropped it on her plate. That was all she was really hungry for, and the idea of eating anything else made her feel sick, but upon noticing that one of the Sixth Years was watching her, she idly grabbed a chocolate croissant, the largest-looking thing within reach. She knew she wouldn't be having much of it, though; like most things, it was just to keep up outward appearances.

Her head whipped towards a loud screaming from somewhere else in the cafeteria. A Howler, huh? She'd seen many students get them over the years but never received one herself. Yeah, her mother was very much a Muggle, but it was more of a thing where she just didn't seem to care. Ri felt like she could have blown something up or accidentally caught something valuable in the Whomping Willow and her mum wouldn't have so much have sent a letter. It was fine that way, though. She knew she loved her in her own way. Besides, she had many other correspondents with whom she could share her experiences, or so her friends thought. Really it was just one person, and he didn't even know where she was writing from, but it was better than nothing, and she liked to imagine his letters conveyed genuine interest in what was happening with her.

"Hey!" she called, then reeled back, clapping a hand over her mouth. Her voice... what was wrong with it? It's undertone sounded normal, but there was a strange echo to it, almost like glass, or maybe ice, shattering in a vast cave. It wasn't squeaky, unpleasant, or cracking, but it sounded like a faint, echoed, piercing cry of sorts, almost like a noise a... Pokemon... would make. Realization suddenly started to crash down on her- those had been Pokemon attacks, this was a Pokemon-like sound; she had Pokemon-like stones on her and Pokemon-like hair, and she was in a cell for "experimentation". Somehow, she'd gained some, okay, a lot of Pokemon traits. It seemed unreal, but she couldn't deny that it was a logical assumption. But she couldn't stop, not now. She'd just have to deal with it all later.

Tundra almost imagined she could hear quickly receding footsteps. No, that wasn't imagination; goodness, had the scientist left? Surely it couldn't have been that easy... No, no, it most certainly wouldn't have been. He'd be back, and when he was, she had the feeling the results wouldn't quite be helpful for her wellbeing. "Anyone in here?" she forced herself to say, cringing away from the unfamiliar ring once more, taking a couple steps into the cell. Gosh, it was hot in here. A large shape could be made out on the floor as the Mist-curling-into-steam blew in around her, but she wasn't able to go any further; already she felt dizzy from the temperature. She'd never been particularly bad with heat before; this was probably a result of her little situation, too, wasn't it?

There were now noises coming from the cells around this one; how many others were there? How long would it take for the man to come back? Dare she try to get them all out? Maybe this person could aide her, if they so desired. Even then, which way was out?

Thirty seconds... Agh, there wasn't time for this, but she couldn't leave people. She knew Lusamine, had heard the name. She'd been in the news a couple times, hadn't she? A tall, blonde, business-like woman who had seemed to have a real heart for humans and Pokemon. Reality really could be a let down. The young woman didn't really feel betrayed or hurt by the revelation that a rising figure of power would do this, though, just cold acceptance. What was one more person who wasn't who they said they were?

Making a similar action to that of before, she attempted to create more blades of stone to smash through the door. Instead, a bolt of electricity arced from her hand, impacting the door but doing nothing. Oh, peachy, she grimaced. She realized the light would have illuminated her silhouette through the mist. Stupid, stupid. If she could just concentrate on the fact that she wanted rocks, not electricity, maybe... there! With a loud crunch, the peaks of stone jolted up through the floor, striking the door to this other cell. Out of the corner of her eye, she realized her strange "hair" had flared out as she had done that, the edges turning a sort of orange. Her first instinct was to flee after destroying the door; staying and attempting to help this other unfortunate prisoner might lead to her being recaptured. Tundra couldn't bring herself to, though.

Despite all of her past experiences and against her better judgment, she pressed her palm against the door and shoved it forwards, which she was able to do due to its having been torn from its hinges. The heat from the metal could be felt through her white glove, so she didn't make contact for too long, just enough to accomplish what she wanted to.

She was tempted to shout, "NO!" like a belligerent child, but restrained herself. Saying anything would just make it easier for him to find her. While to him his proposition may have seemed perfectly reasonable, it only made her recoil further. So she was an experiment, was she? And he thought she'd just quietly and happily return to her cell and allow "further experimentation"? Tundra wasn't a particularly proud person, but she wasn't going take that assumption of her character lying down, so to speak, and she certainly wouldn't allow herself to be subjected to further alterations.

She didn't know yet exactly what they'd done to her, but her clothes had been strangely modified, her hair was a completely different color, and a veil, nonetheless, there were stones embedded in her skin, and not to mention these strange, Pokemon-like things she seemed able to do. She didn't want to be "released back into society", she wanted to become normal again. She also didn't trust this person in the slightest; even the quote-unquote "good things" about his statement might just be lies.

Slowly, she began to sidle down the hallway, keeping to the wall and trying to prevent her footsteps from making too much noise. The fact that when she looked down she could see that she was leaving tracks of ice wherever her feet touched the ground only strengthened her resolution. She had to undo this. Somehow. She had to quickly bite her lip to prevent herself from making any noise when her ungloved hand brushed against what seemed to be another metal door, burning hot. Pulling away and shaking it off before taking the time to slip on the glove again, she noticed that the Mist around this door had instead turned to steam. Was this possibly another cell? Was there someone or something trapped inside who had had done to them what had been done to her? Dare she attempt to destroy this door and free them? She didn't know if she had the time, and the noise would certainly further alert the scientist, maybe causing him to call for those reinforcements.

Terror overtook her once more. She quickly rolled off the surface she had been laying on, dislodging shards of ice, and towards the back of the room. Rationality flew out the proverbial window that she desperately wished was present. A thick fog started to fill the room, and glancing down, she realized that this too was coming from her. It seemed to emanate from the stones on the backs of her hands and on her forehead. As the cold Mist swirled around, seeping out under the cell door, it reached the point where she could see nothing. Great. Once more, she imagined the cell was pushing down around her. She had to get out.

Not exactly sure what she was doing, she clenched her fist and swept her arm up through the air in a slicing motion. Jagged rocks burst up from the floor, smashing into the door and crumpling the metal. Her breathing was quick and panicked. She hadn't meant to do that. She was grateful she had, but she hadn't meant to. There wasn't any time to waste, though.

The Aurorus fusion ran towards the door, leaving icy footprints behind her. Slipping behind the metal, she darted into the hall. She only got a glimpse of the scientist before her new abilities reacted to her emotions once more, and as she took a step away from him, more Mist spun away from her hand, hiding her from view. Her momentum had come to a halt, though, and she pressed her back up against the wall, regretting now not thinking this through.

Tundra was snapped out of her temporary total panic by the sound of footsteps a little ways outside of the door, perhaps down the hall. Could they be coming towards her? Would they be willing to help? Yeah, no. The chances of someone helping her when she was in this type of situation where astronomically low. She'd be on her own. Perhaps when they came in, if they came in, she could try to escape. She most certainly wouldn't be able to best anyone in a scuffle; she was short and petite, and had never really been into sports. She glanced down at her hands again. Maybe, if she could try to control the ice...?

The young woman turned her attention to the wall in front of her and thrust out the hand that still had its glove on, baring her teeth in concentration. A jagged jet of whiteish-blue light shot forth, slamming into the wall and creating a large formation of ice that quickly spread outwards, shocking her, though she clearly had been the one responsible for it. How- her mind started, but she cut it off. No, she couldn't fret now. Once she'd gotten out of there, that was when she could bother with the schematics. And she did know that she had to "get out of there"; if the intentions of whoever had detained her were benevolent, she wouldn't be so afraid, locked in a cold, unfriendly cell. She didn't trust that she was here for any reason that would actually help her.

Tundra laid back down, though her body was reluctant to obey, hoping to catch whoever the footsteps might belong to off-guard. She didn't know what she'd do after that, but she'd cross that bridge when she came to it.

The "festivities", so to speak, of the night before had been cut off shortly after Suvansh had suddenly disappeared. Hagrid had come through the courtyard to find the little cluster of students and promptly chased them off, not unkindly. A shame; Ri had been looking forwards to egging prefects and head boys without fear of repercussion. At least it hadn't been Filch, she supposed.

With a groan, the Fifth Year rolled over in her bed and, in a dramatic tone, whined to her friend who's bunk was next to hers, "Neneee, there's History of Magic first class today..." If there was ONE CLASS Ri Nightingale hated, it was this one. Charms could be fun, regardless of how terrible she was at it, but History of Magic was boring and dull; the sheer amount of work it produced was terrible in and of itself, as well. No use in putting it off, she scolded herself, reluctantly and slowly sitting up and rolling onto the ground as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.

She was wearing a vastly oversized yellow sweatshirt that looked like a dress on her, which she wore whenever she got the chance, regardless of how silly it looked, and black sleep shorts. She really didn't want to change, but she doubted Flitwick would allow her to even step in the door of the classroom if she wasn't wearing her robes. Sighing, she moved to grab her uniform from where it hung at the foot of the bed.

Radiance sat in her seat in the History of Magic classroom, quickly scanning through the textbook; the only other person there was the class's professor. She had always been an early riser, so this was a surprise for neither of them. Flitwick kept glancing at her with a slight frown before finally saying, "Miss Veraz, you're wearing Muggle shoes. Again, might I add." She glanced up at him. I know, git, she thought, but said, "Hm?" Ha, she could imagine the reaction that would have gotten out of a Legilmens. "If you hurry, you have time to change. Otherwise I may have to deduct points from your house." Coldly, she stood and left the classroom. When she got outside, she knelt and took her uniform shoes out of her bag, switching them for her Converse. Uniform policies were stupid. She waited a couple minutes before reentering and sitting once more in her seat, awaiting the other students with an emotionless face and a scowl in her heart.

Isolde tilted her head to the side curiously, studying them for a moment. "No apology required," she smiled. A shame she didn't have the best hearing ever; she hadn't caught what they had been discussing prior to her own footsteps' halt. Doing a quick scan of the library but seeing no one aside from a little blink of light in a corner, she turned back to the two. "Carry on," she waved, stepping back and beginning to head once more to her quarters. With a grin and a wink, she added, "Wouldn't want to interrupt any special moments." She didn't know whether they actually had anything between them, but if they didn't, that just made it funnier, in her opinion.

As Peregrine crept through increasingly more decrepit alleyways, she came closer to the source of the shouting, a mass of people came into view. She had no clue what this was about, but few townsfolk were out and about like this anymore, afraid of drawing the attention of their new ruler's soldiers. Reaching up once more to make certain her hood was drawn all the way up, she finally made her way into earshot, her lithe form shrouded by her tattered cloak. Beneath it, her teal eyes darted from person to person, and what she saw caused her to rest her hand on the handle of her dagger beneath the folds of fabric. A man lay on his back on the ground at the center of the throng, a young woman pressing a blade against him throat. She didn't like this, but she couldn't turn back now. Best to try to blend in.

Colt stared down at the work on his desk, biting his tongue. Yeah, Christmas break, great, fun, home from college, but WHY was there HOMEWORK? Just get it done, he told himself. Then you can go annoy Nadia. Seeing as how she didn't get on break for another couple of days, there were some possibilities there. Granted, he couldn't do anything tooo drastic, or else he might loose a limb or two. Scratching down a final formula, he glanced at the clock. 3:20 already. The 18 year old stowed the paper away, slipped on a dark blue woolen sweater, jogged down to the kitchen, grabbed his keys, and hopped in his car, Angel bounding out after him and leaping into the passenger seat. He grinned. It looked like he'd have some company on the drive out. Pulling out of the driveway, he prayed the horn was still as loud as it had been. Living on campus right near all the necessities, he didn't have to use it very often.
