[attr="class","tubby"] "ALMOST LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED." FOR @phantom2 A comparative study of abilities—just the thing to ruin his semester. His initial reaction was one of fascination, as he had never taken the initiative to figure out the possibilities out there. The spectrum ranged from the conventional super strength and flight to the more exotic venom secretion and regeneration. He began to regret situating himself in the backmost row of seats, not wanting to miss a word the professor was saying. Unfortunately for him, what appeared to be a straightforward research project ended up becoming a collaborative assignment. He buried his face in his arms as he was assigned a partner, some Haywood guy. No amount of consolation could put an end to his misery as he imagined himself following the project guidelines, which forced pairs to not only analyze one another’s abilities and limitations, but also develop and test methods of pushing those boundaries. Not exactly the safest standards, considering how dangerous some powers could be, but in Yaron’s case, it was a matter of self-esteem. For him, divulging the details of his techniques was the utmost worst thing that could happen to him. He didn’t know which deity he had insulted, but he was ready to get down on his knees and beg for forgiveness regardless. No amount of begging, however, would save him from the forecasted humiliation. He could hardly look his partner in the eye as he asked to meet up right outside campus, where he could at least minimize the number of prying eyes and ears. The city was crowded enough, and he dared not risk having a passerby pick up on the discussion. Sitting on an isolated bench, he checked his watch. On his lap was a notebook and pen, primitive devices compared to the modern doodads of the day, but reliable nonetheless. If they wanted to meet the deadline, the two would have to begin preparing right off the bat.

"you think you know me?"
☒ | @toccatinaii | ✐ | 000 | ✉ | two weeks later orz! i'm so so so so sorry!!! |
MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS | What in the name of all things serene and graceful did he get himself into? Well, it was more like what did that senseless professor put him into! Clearly he had absolutely no freaking idea as to how to go about handling his damn self in this predicament. It was bad enough that this so-called project was going to account for a sizable portion of his grades. But to think that he would have to do this with someone else!? Really, this wasn't going to work! The poor boy was doomed to fail! Working collectively with other students was NOT his cup of tea! He couldn't do this! There was just no way in Hell! There couldn't possibly be a way for him to go through with this with what little drops of dignity he had left in him intact! This was truly an injustice! An injustice I tell you!
Studying the abilities of your fellow heroes-in-training, huh? Initially, that didn't sound too bad. Granted, that not only was this beauty of an academic establishment culturally diverse, but it was also supernaturally diverse as well. Who knew!? Devin was no different in that regard. He wanted to know more about the capabilities of his peers just as much as the next guy, but why does he need to do this with a partner for crying out loud!? The white-haired young man didn't feel that was by any means necessary whatsoever. For as long as he could remember, Devin was usually perfectly fine all on his own. He didn't need anyone's help accomplishing any academic goals, so why start now?
But really, who could have possibly foreseen this? Yeah, that's right. No one.
When asked to meet outside the campus, the scarred heterochromatic male would oblige, albeit with a slight delay in his answer. Maybe it would be a good idea to meet in private. It could be an ideal method of avoiding any unwanted outside interference, or any sights of nosy or paranoid bystanders or pedestrians. Either way, Devin would be okay with this, or so he thought. His nerves vibrated like tremors leading to quakes, and chills ran rampant down his brittle spine as the boy made haste for the proposed meeting place, a messenger containing a few notebooks, pens and highlighters strapped over his shoulder. Catching a glimpse of his assigned partner upon ultimately arriving, Devin approached from the side of bench. In that awkward manner of his.
"S-s-sorry I'm late..." |

[attr="class","tubby"] "ALMOST LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED." FOR @phantom2 / sorry for the short reply orz The repeated glances at his watch indicated the first stages of his agitation. It had been two minutes—a whole 120 seconds!—since the appointed time and there was no sign of his partner. All the worst case scenarios flashed before his eyes. Did he give him the wrong time? Had Devin forgotten about the assignment? Did someone die? He craned his neck and squinted into the distance, hoping to catch a glimpse of white hair out there. Part of him all of him hoped he had forgotten after all. Although it’d do more harm than good, the coward within didn’t want to follow through with the project in the slightest. But he couldn’t bring himself to just avoid the whole thing forever, especially when his partner had finally arrived. “ It’s fine,” he answered, voice strained and response curt. He hadn’t intended to give such a brusque reply, but the stress of waiting had escalated up to the point that he needed more than a moment to settle down. Clearing his throat, he scooted to make more room on the bench, his way of offering him a seat. “ So, uh, doing well?” Nothing like forced small talk to make the awkward more palpable.
