Days 8-11 - Test 1: Aptitude

Who: All Initiates
What: LACUNA begins her testing phases
When: Days 8-11
Where: Area 2 - Testing Grounds
Warnings: To be updated, but as this is a testing regimen, it will most likely contain language, violence, mentions of sensitive topics (up to and including pondering the murder of children)

At 06:00 hours on the morning of Day 8, every terminal, be it the one in the living quarters or one of the personal terminals within the rooms, begins broadcasting the sound of a klaxon. This sound, loud enough to reverberate, continues for 30 seconds before it ends as abruptly as it began. The lights raise and after they are fully illuminating whatever area your character may have been rudely awoken in, LACUNA's cold voice fills the silence.
"Good Morning, Initiates. Today will begin Testing. Our first Test Round will be for Aptitude measurement only. As such, blows that would otherwise be fatal will spare you. You have one hour to prepare. Afterwards, proceed to the cryopod chamber for further instruction. Thank you."

As incredibly forthcoming as she's been previously, any attempts to question her further are met with cold silence.

(OOC: The Test will be divided by day and function, and for more information, check out the sweet prompts below, also organized by date! You're not required to use this post, but it may be easier if you haven't found a partner! Feel free to make your own posts, either as actions or network posts as well! Remember, it isn't 100% necessary to obey her commands...)

There was no discussing when it involved yelling and screaming. Maybe if Anakin would calm down and be more rational, they could really discuss it. If that would ever happen. However, the Jedi was mentally exhausted and he knew his limits. He needed to save some of his sanity for this testing nonsense.

Though it still hurt, and being around Anakin was a constant reminder of his failure. Of how helpless he seemed to be to do anything for him.

Trying to put it out of his mind, he glanced over at Grace as she followed after him.

"I'm sorry," he said softly.

He hadn't wanted her to get hurt.

Once the two of them were away from Anakin, Grace let out a shaky breath, and she wrapped her hand around her throat once more as if to reassure herself that it was still there in one piece. It was and she was, and how she wished she was home so she could just wrap one of her scarves around it so it wouldn't worry anyone else. Wouldn't worry Darius. Yeah, he was going to be pissed.

Her breath turned into a sigh when he apologized. "Don't be. It's not your fault. You weren't the one who did it. Really nice guy, huh?" The words had more of an edge along with her jutting her thumb towards where Anakin was. "I just couldn't watch as he choked you again. It's my fault for thinking that logic would have worked when it came to him. My fault and I won't do it again."

Not his fault? Maybe not this particular incident but...

"He wasn't always this way," Obi-Wan said mournfully. But this was neither the time or place to get into their history.

"I appreciate your effort, but I do think it would be best to avoid him."

Obi-Wan might not be around to help her the next time. He didn't know all the others very well, but he wasn't yet sure anyone else could stand up to Anakin other than him.

Grace’s brows are just going to go up to her hairline with that and she made a soft scoffing sound as well. ā€œYeah, us avoiding one another in something the size of a tin can isn’t something that I see happening for well for very long.ā€ She’s just stating facts here. This place is too small for people who want to kill other people here. To small and there’s too few people.

ā€œHow long have you known him?ā€ Grace couldn’t help but ask, because all of this is stuff that is just too personal for it to be not old friends or lovers or both.

hadthehighground: (of course)

ā€œEven so,ā€ Obi-Wan said, knowing full well how difficult it was. He’s spent the past week trying to avoid Anakin.

ā€œSince he was a small boy,ā€ he then replied to her question. Pausing a moment as he did the math in his head. ā€œAbout 13 standard years.ā€

She wasn’t wrong in her assumptions.

She wanted to roll her eyes a bit at that even so, because clearly it hadn't done anything to save him today, and god knew it probably wasn't going to do anything to save him in the future. No, it seemed like the only thing that would was the stupid reboot remembering how important they were. Honestly, if Zoe had played with people like this, she'd remind her about how fragile her toys actually were.

Frowning at him though, she just considered, before looking back to the door where Anakin had been. "I'm assuming all this choking and other stuff is a recent development?"

Yes well, Obi-Wan tends to care about others more than himself. Besides, this quarrel was between him and Anakin, and it should stay that way.

"Fairly recently, yes."

Actually it wasn't as recent as Obi-Wan thought, but well, he didn't know that.

"To be honest, he shouldn't be here. I don't know how its possible."

ā€œI’m assuming that you don’t mean that he shouldn’t be here in the ā€˜because he’s psycho’ way? Cause yeah I agree on that. But I’m guessing you’ve got more personal reasonings than that.ā€ Grace knew that she probably shouldn't call the man who had nearly just killed them both a psycho, but she couldn't help but call a spade a spade, especially here and now.

"What do we need to know about him? How bad is he, and how strong are those powers of his? Can they get through walls?" Grace was in full on protection mode now, not just of herself and Darius, but of everyone else here.
hadthehighground: (Are you sure?)

"He should be dead," he clarifies. Though the way he says it doesn't necessarily mean that he wants Anakin to be dead. There's actually a bit of remorse there.

At her questions though, he sighs softly, knowing he doesn't have good news for her.

"He's the most powerful among my kind." Which is to say among the Jedi, though its easier to say it that way than having to delve into what that meant.

"Without his lightsaber, no, he can't get through walls. There are limits to what he can do, and if you break his focus, even more so. However, not even your own mind is safe. Be guarded around him, always."
