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.
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...)

"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."

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.
no subject
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."
no subject
"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.

Graceās brows are just going to go up to her hairline with that and she made a soft scoffing sound as well. āYeah, us avoiding one another in something the size of a tin can isnāt something that I see happening for well for very long.ā Sheās just stating facts here. This place is too small for people who want to kill other people here. To small and thereās too few people.
āHow long have you known him?ā Grace couldnāt 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.
no subject
āSince he was a small boy,ā he then replied to her question. Pausing a moment as he did the math in his head. āAbout 13 standard years.ā
She wasnāt wrong in her assumptions.
no subject
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?"
no subject
"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."
no subject
"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.
no subject
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."
