Do you know how many classes Viola was allowed to take relating to physicality? Not enough. Either way, she would lurk around that part of campus and argue incessantly with administration to let her transfer. But nooo! Manipulation of shadows is considered mental. Mental, my ass. If they would just let into one of those gyms...
Well that point was kind of moot because she was allowed a certain amount of 'battle readiness' courses. This semester she was enrolled in one focusing on hand to hand. It annoyed Viola that the focus wasn't on her powers, but she supposed she should learn to do without them. Today's class had revolved around dueling with drones and whatever other tech the department could come up with. It wasn't the most difficult thing for Viola. At least she was allowed to work alone for this assignment; she hated teams. Teams that didn't include her brother, at least. No one else had powers quite as compatible as his. No one worked well enough with her, either. Not that she was very willing to put up with anyone else in the field.
Viola had gotten through class without a fuss, utilizing her gymnastics training where she could as well as what Hemlock had taught her growing up. Slipping in an occasional use of her superhuman abilities, and it was easy. She hung around the training room after class, trying to ignore how reluctant she was for it to end. She was just taking her time gathering her things, getting some water. All of their backpacks and the like had to be left up in the control room (it doubled as a briefing room where they started class) and there had been a student who Viola assumed was working with the robots up there as well. Viola didn't understand technology like the technodorks did, and she didn't care to. Why did she need to, anyway? It wasn't any trouble to get someone else to do that side of things for her.

HEY KID! | DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION? |
There was something incredibly satisfying about manning the androids for a hand-to-hand combat class. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that Seven was a particularly shrimpy girl and generally had no chance in hell of being on anything similar to equal footing with the other students in this joint. Maybe it was just in the fact that they were so damn neat and later, when she wasn't busy- you know, making sure they didn't get their circuits pounded out of place- she could go through their software. These things were works of art. She'd- metaphorically, of course- kill for one of these bad boys.
The downsides for using the bots as something of an avatar? She couldn't feel a thing- meaning there was no gauge for how hard she was hitting others, or any way to figure out how much more of a beating the robots could take before shutting down or losing access to particular motors(meaning stiff joints, slow reactions, and the occasional loss of movement in an entire limb in the cases of those with super strength), and Seven's body was left entirely unprotected. Using the video feed on the bots meant she wasn't using her eyes. And with the audio too? She couldn't hear anything going on around her body... not that it was all that important in the middle of a class, but in the real world? That'd be more than just a slight inconvenience. To top it all off, the robot had to stay inside of her range or she'd lose control of it entirely until she moved closer or it get knocked back. Oh well, it was nothing that could really be fixed, considering the situation.
Or could it? Having a bot constantly sending feedback to another wireless device with more range than I have, and sending information back from that device could work... A thought for another time- she couldn't get distracted now. However, using a phone or laptop as a remote control would be neat. All she'd need to do would be keep it on her person or basically within the same room as her. I could be useful yet.
As all things did, eventually the class would come to an end, and with it, Seven would be expected to stay behind and repair the drones. Well to be fair, she offered to. Anything to get her hands on their mechanics and an uninterrupted look at their coding. That meant waiting until everyone left. Couldn't have anyone talking while she was trying to shove her nose into some metal contraptions, now could she? Unfortunately for Sev, someone was lagging behind. Considering everyone else had gone and the bots were pretty rough at the moment, the technopath's choices of electronics to fiddle around with had significantly dropped. Why not tinker around with that girl's phone while waiting to get a chance to work on the repairs?
While Seven wouldn't exactly have ages to wait, the time between when she started to fiddle around in the other woman's cell and when said woman entered was more than enough to dig up some 'neat' conversations. Hearing the door open, Seven would slowly turn to face the other, the nice swivel chair she'd lugged in leisurely spinning, a saccharine smile on her face, "You really took your good time getting up here!" Her tone wasn't at all dark or condemning, but rather playful, and her sentence was punctuated with a darling little laugh. Sev'd see where this went before bringing up her idle information digging. | [attr="class","pinky"] viola solovyov |

Finally getting to the control room, Viola capped her water and sighed; she didn't want to leave. She wished class could go on for a few more hours, work up a real sweat. It was still early in the semester, so hopefully the assignments would get more challenging. Maybe the students could even get to duel. Bashing in some drones was only fun for so long. Just a couple years, Vi, then you'll be doing this kind of thing for real.
Viola paused at the dramatic presentation of the timid-looking girl's statement. Was there an issue? Was the chick really going to challenge her about something so trivial? If she did, it would be clear that the name Nightshade hadn't spread enough fear through the school yet. Viola would have to fix that. "...Yeah." Viola decided to let it go with no more than a condescending look at the glorified mechanic. With someone else around, Viola wasn't so interested in lingering too long, so she went over to her bag with a metered pace. She would rather stay and stare longingly at the empty practice room, maybe play with her powers some, so moving was something.

Just an uncertain 'yeah'? That was all she got? Seven would puff out her cheeks slightly in irritation before letting all the air out and trying to push for more conversation. She'd wanted to gauge things before jumping straight into 'hey! I skimmed through your texts!' which no one ever seemed to take well. But, it didn't seem like this one was all that talkative. She'd just need to go for it.
With a flourish, the technopath would rise from her seat, and approach the other girl, arms behind her back, a hand wrapped around one of her own wrists, "You know, you've got some really interesting texts." There would be no real threat in her voice, no change in tone from that sugary-sweet lilt. She was about as non-threatening as ever in everything except those words she'd uttered. That was a specialty of Sev's though, seeming so incredibly naive and mushy.
She may have been a scrawny individual in a university of heroes- her abilities so watered down compared to the vast majority, her specialties lying more in information collection and back-up than playing any real role on the battlefront- but she did know where her strengths lied, and she generally knew how to play her cards. That bluntness on whose files she'd been searching through for conversation's sake was going to be the death of her one of these days, but for now, it tended to lead to some... interesting conversations and tended to drag out some rather fascinating reactions out of people. | [attr="class","pinky"] viola solovyov |

Bent over her pack, Viola had been putting away her bottle when the techie spoke up again. She stood back up, pulling her bookbag onto her shoulder and facing the girl. She wore an expression that was almost a seething glare--presumably at her privacy being invaded--but there was also a good bit of thinking she had misheard those words. And she had better have misheard or else this chick was going to be in some serious danger. "What was that?" Viola took a couple steps toward the control room lackey. Being just generally bigger and carrying a more threatening air about her, Viola expect the girl to back down from just that. Don't get into fights you can't win.
