at 02:37 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)Seeing the lack of response to his jab, Blake rolls with the conversation. "Doesn't matter to me, the audio should be fine. I'm kinda in the same as you, Angel. I know lots of bits and pieces about anime, but I've really never watched any...", He scowls, "Dad hated any tv. So I haven't seen much."
He glances about the room, then sits down in the hall, leaning against the door-frame, adding with a smirk. "I'll just sit out here though, the room's not that big."
OOC: I was intentionally having Blake misread the situation, and trying to get a reaction. I haven't mentioned it yet, but Blake can sense the IR, can could tell Tammy was flushed from the vertigo.

at 01:10 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)I don't think you misread the situation all THAT much to be honest. :p
"Eh?" Tammy says, drawing out the sound, "Soul Eater is a good one since it's kinda like western cartoons. It's not very big on the major tropes for anime and doesn't rely on an understanding of their culture. It's kind of bloody, though, but it doesn't go past that. Oh, and come to think of it, one of the characters swears a lot when she's really mad."
She turns to look at Tony with a complete lack of surprise at his position and adds, "Please clean up any bits of ceiling that come down with you."
She turns back to her tapping and swiping on the phone... but now she's looking at her computer monitor, which is currently pulling up a website that streams anime videos.

at 10:34 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)"Shouldn't be an issue," Tony answers, "I've gotten pretty good at judging how hard to grip stuff to keep from taking chunks out of them." With a deft flip, Tony lands back on the ground right-side-up. He manages to land softly and quietly on the carpet.
He takes a cushion and sits down on the ground.
"It's like the only positive thing that I've gotten out of my powers. It's a lot easier to get around and explore."

at 19:38 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)Tammy give Tony a slow nod of understanding and says, "Seems like there might be two of us here, out of ten, that don't have more problems than benefits from our mutations. That's why I started calling them quirks, actually, since a quirk is like, something annoying but not exactly anything you can do anything about."
A couple more taps on her phone, and the video starts playing, "I'll go make some tea and hunt for munchies. Blake, I think you'll fit in here just fine, so come on in."
If nobody says anything to make her linger, Tammy gets up and heads out towards the kitchen and dining area.

at 00:14 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)Blake raises his brow ridges in a gesture of disbelief at Tammy's statement, but raises himself off the floor nonetheless. "If you say so..." he says, in a tone clearly meaning, this is never going to work. And as Tammy leaves, he begins the process of trying to get fit in the room, without breaking anything. This does however, mean that he bumps into the other two more than a few times as he tries to find some place to fit, eventually squeezing into the floor space by the closet.
OOC: I'm not sure what the actual dimensions of the room are, but I'm pretty sure its gonna be real snug with me folded up in here.

at 01:14 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)The rooms are ten feet by fifteen feet, and Tamera's lacks the bed that takes up a large chunk of the floor space. The problem is the ceiling, which is the standard ten feet high.

at 07:42 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)"Ah, that makes sense," Tony replies to Tammy. "I was wondering why you called them that. Personally, I like calling them powers just because I can use it sarcastically."
As Blake squeezes into Tammy's room, Tony manages to twist out of the way to make it easier for the large man to find a place to sit. Occasionally, he hops onto the ceiling to give Blake more space. Once he settles down, Tony hops back down onto the ground and sits down. He glances over at 聲gel and Blake.
"I'm glad this isn't awkward or anything."

He looks back at Blake. "Well, except for Blake, but I suspect he finds almost all buildings awkward. And that has to suck."
Edit: Fixed a typo.

at 23:55 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)Blake, looking a little distracted as he tries to not occupy the whole room, snorts at that last bit. "Don't understate it or anything." He says with a bit of a smirk. "Really though, this is the most I've been inside since the change. And yeah it sucks to hunch all the time."
He thinks for a moment, and chuckles; "Now that you mention it, I guess its a bit ironic that the buildings I'd fit best in now, I'd fit the least. Stadiums, libraries and the like."

at 03:54 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)"Don't pay any attention to me," Tony laughs, "I just chatter when I'm nervous. Also, my transformation left me with sensory overload, and I'm still getting a handle on it. I was always a little shy growing up, but now it's worse that my ears and nose keep picking up new things. It's why I've been stealing up onto the roof of the house to be alone.
"Can you climb, Blake?" Tony asks, "If you can, the roof is really nice if you need a break from hunching. It gives a good view of the grounds."

at 04:14 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)"Well, not in the fashion of you can it seems, but I could get up there readily enough. One of the benefits of my new form is a surprising vertical." He glances upward, considering. "Mind you, I'm not sure that'd be a good idea, I'm pretty sure this place wasn't built to take something like me on the roof. Or Angel here for that matter."

at 04:49 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)"Fair dues," Tony replies to Blake. He looks down at the ground, fidgeting while sitting. His tail flickers back and forth, occasionally thumping on the ground. He glances at the door, his ears twisting towards then looks down at the floor.
"By the way, guys," he asks, "have you noticed anything strange about Dr. H and his team? Like, have they demonstrated any kind of mutant powers or 'quirks' as Tammy calls them? Because, well...we were experimenting with her powers and...she managed to pick up something from them and people in the area.
"We're not sure if that means they're mutants or if she can just pick up life signs---to borrow a Star Trek phrase for lack of a better term---but it's probably good to keep an open mind. Especially with what has happened with us."

at 05:16 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)Blake gives Tony a long considering look, before responding carefully. "Well, that would make sense. Maybe help explain why they're doing all of this. I've been watching, and I haven't seen anything really unusual, considering." He pauses, then continues in a lower tone. "I'm pretty sure they want something from us though, something more than just research data. I just haven't figured out what yet..."

at 23:13 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)"Obviously they want something from us," 聲gel says. "The big question is who is really behind this? Military, government, or corporate interests. But given Dr. H's constant harping on 'the budget', my vote is government. In which case, my bet is they want to learn who to control and handle people like us."
He starts to turn his attention back to the show but glances up suddenly. "Where do you think they have the bugs? Pity we don't have someone who can control computers and electrical devices."

at 03:42 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)Blake watches the show for a minute, considering Angel's words before answering. "Bugs? I doubt it. It'll be full-on video surveillance these days." His tone is casual, but he still glances about the room, hoping to spot any tell-tale warmth of operating electronics.
"Still, government doesn't feel right if you ask me. No way they'd be letting us roam around. That and it's nowhere near sterile enough. I mean, look at this hardwood, this stuff doesn't come cheap." He gives the wood rim around the room an gentle knock. "Same thing goes if it was corporate. We'd be in a basement somewhere, not the boonies."
"I think maybe the most likely is Henningsen having corporate backers, or just being privately rich. Its the only good explanation I can figure for both the location, and the budget concerns."
He again turns to the show, only to realize a detail he missed. "Crap, he did say the school stuff was official, though, so the government has to know something." He shrugs, admitting confusion on the subject.

at 03:58 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)"All of the above," Tammy suggests as she appears from the doorway, carefully balancing a tray with the teapot and several cups with one hand, and an enormous bowl of potato chips with the other.
She sets the bowl down first, where all the boys can easily reach it, before sitting on her cushion and placing the tea set in front of her so she can pour cups for everyone, "There aren't any cameras in the bedrooms or bathrooms because that would violate privacy laws, but I noticed them in the office where we took our physical, and I'd expect some to be in the classrooms. We're located in the middle of nowhere but less than an hour from a small military base, at least at Google's speed. If the department of homeland security put up a chunk of it, biotechnology firms put up another chunk, and Mr. Henningsen ... actually, maybe it's his wife's money? That would explain her attitude."
Tammy begins passing around the tea, a rich brown coloured brew this time around.

at 04:03 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)OOC Massive edit. Stupid cross-posting me.
聲gel was about to say something when Tammy returned derailing his train of thought. It takes him a few seconds to realize what she's saying.
"So the military is involved along with money people," he seems to get angry quickly. "I know why they're interested in Blake and me, they probably have visions of me wading through enemy troops. How can you all be so calm?"
He gets up. "I need a run or something that needs to be hit. I'm sorry."
He steps out of the room. While heading to his room, he pulls off his shirt, shoes, and socks. Tossing them into his room, he heads out for a run.

at 05:03 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)Blake watches Angel go, turning to Tammy when he's gone. "Dude's got quite the temperament on him." he observes.
"Good figuring though, sounds pretty reasonable. And Angel's right, I'm sure the military would love us, all of us really." Blake's focus shifts and he stares into the distance for a moment. Half to himself, "Might not be the worst thing though. A different path perhaps, but it could still get me where I wanted to go."
Carefully, he takes a cup of tea from Tammy, and raises it in thanks before taking a sip; a rather amusing sight, given the his size.

at 06:13 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)Tony watches 聲gel leave the room and shakes his head.
"Sorry," Tony apologizes as he declines Tammy's offer of tea, "it's a little hard for me to drink hot stuff. Thanks though."
Tony shifts over to give Blake a little more room in the area. He looks down at the ground, closing his eyes in concentration. As he does, his ears swivel about as though searching for something.
"Maybe I'm naive, sheltered, or just a hopeless optimist, but I don't get the feeling that they're interested in doing something bad to us. I mean, we're all here of our own accord, and this is a lot of effort to just turn us into weapons or lab specimens.
"Anyways," he finishes while opening his eyes, "this is letting me finish high school without being called a freakshow. I'm just gonna enjoy this as long as I can."
OOC:
Today: Tonauac 'Tony' Torres rolled 24 using 1d20+6. Perception-Listening for strange noises.
This is more of a roleplay roll than looking for anything really special. However, I figured I'd try and see what it might uncover. What's the use of super hearing if you never use it? :-p

at 15:30 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)Tammy adjusts the way she is sitting, uncrossing her legs and pulling her knees up to her chest with her feet on the floor, her arms loosely wrapped around her legs, and her chin resting on one knee.
After a pause, while she watches the show and thinks, she says, "I think they're trying to protect us, overall. If it's true that there are competing interests invested in this project, they could be playing them against one another. That's not going to work in the long term, but it might buy enough time to garner additional support, maybe do some public relations. They seem to know a few things about us already. While 聲gel and I were doing the physicals, Mr. Henningsen had a device that could extract blood from 聲gel, even though his skin can't be pierced. Something that would have to have been invented, prototyped, tested, and then custom manufactured..."
Tamera's head pops back up then she reaches for her phone with no small amount of hurry, "And patented!"

"Hold on. There's no way they've made something just to deal with Angel's quirks. Stuff like that takes years to get though patent approval, never mind prototyping and testing. Longer even for medical stuff. How long has Angel even had his powers? And how long have they known about us?" Blake quiets, waiting to see if Tammy finds anything on her phone, mind racing with further unanswerable questions.

at 04:55 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)Tony's ears twitch, and he snaps his head in the direction of the door.
"I hear some of the grown-ups talking," he tells the others. "It sounds like Dr. H, Ms. Olensson, and Ms. Schutz... I can't make out exactly what they're saying. The odds are that they're just talking about food based on the group---but want me to see if I can overhear something while you follow up on the patent search?" He looks at the others, his eyes wide with excitement. He clearly wants to go, but the fact that he is looking for approval from the others indicates that he is more interested in hearing his newfound friends' opinions before running off into mischief.
