Final Trial

It takes a few minutes after everyone talks with the generic mannequin. The easygoing conversation, the bragging from Gant, Keith's exasperation, it all stops when a very heavy and ominous presence fills the room.

"I think it's about time this circus stopped"

It's the Sergeant. He's standing on the doorway, arms crossed. The shadows on his face wriggle, he seems to be rather furious, but is restraining himself from lashing out

"I should have guessed you bunch would take advantage of all that noise and ruckus to sneak in here. I was careless, I admit. 'Oh, this is over in like four hours, it will be okay if I step away to deal with that'. Careless."

Slowly the Sergeant enters the workshop. Behind him, the door slowly disappears, fading away, until where the door was now there's only a smooth wall. The Sergeant raises an arm, the entire room shakes.

All the mannequins fly up to the ceiling, the one that was now Damon Gant turned back into the empty husk the mannequin was before. The one with a t-pose has the same fate. Once all the mannequins are up on the ceiling, the operation tables are uprooted, bolts and screws flying around. The tables are twisted in the air, formed into knots, disassembled and assembled all over again, until several rustic podiums are formed and deposited on the ground.

Seven podiums, with him at the center. The Sergeant crosses his arms and speaks:

"Get on those spots. Tell me... ...how much do you know?"

Is it a rhetorical question? Who knows. You still have to answer, though

[Boo, they can't do this the easy way then. Well whatever, time to give herself some powers and abilities!! Because she wasn't lying about her priorities.]

[sergeiant]

[Feel free to set that up, Niwa! You'll receive them once you exit the simulation]

[pecker]

[hecking sweet. Is it limited to stuff other people have or is there a longer shopping list here?]

[sergeiant]

[Only to what others have, yup]

[pecker]

[Mmmm nice. Well for starters she'll grab fire powers and how about Nine's spells too. Cure seems like it would be useful for dat self preservation.... she really just likes the RPG aesthetic he's got going on... boy this is fun!!]

[marmoron]

[/Squinting cuz she's looking awfully busy with that PDA.]

What're you typing in there.

[pecker]

[She looks over and smiles.]

Oh, not much. I'm just testing the capabilities of this mind transfer stuff on something small.

[marmoron]

[Okay, smiling is fooling literally nobody at this point, Niwa!!]

What are you transferring, Ryouka.

[pecker]

[So deadpan!! So nosy!! What are you, the Ox.]

... Um. Powers. You want some?

[quickpersuader]

Which powers?

[Kino stop.]

[pecker]

Well.... umm... I was looking at everyone's that died...

[She doesn't want to directly tell her it's also the survivor pool's, let her keep her information superiority bird powers >:3]

[quickpersuader]

Let me see?

[Pleeeeeeease?]

[relieable]

Um. Yeah...?

[if they're going to take powers, let the normie have some, too]

[pecker]

Oh! You do?

[She wasn't expecting a line to form here, she was just trying to get Keith off her ass. What has she started....]

[relieable]

Duh! Who wouldn't?

[what does he want, though? fire powers? flight ability? earthbending? hacker skills? plant manipulation?

...no, that last one is lame. sorry, Frankie]

[sergeiant]

[This was such a bad idea, Sarge thinks]

[pecker]

[OOPS...]

[marmoron]

[....what in blazes. Okay, but now he's curious so he's just gonna go stand by her podium and peer at the PDA too.]

... Let me see that.

[pecker]

Um, sure. [Keith was in a war too, so she figures he can understand where she's coming from here... but yep, here's All Of The Powers.]

[marmoron]

[....Well then. SARGE WHY DID YOU MAKE THIS THING. WHY DID YOU THINK ANYONE WOULD BE HANDLING THIS RESPONSIBLY.

But after a pause.]

Give me Katsuki and Dabi's powers.

[This PDA has been a complete and utter mistake.]

[robitussin]

...Wait, seriously?

[marmoron]

Natalie you have admin rights, too.

[robitussin]

Yeah, I know, I’m just - surprised.

[pecker]

He was very serious about this, apparently!

[Is she just going to accept that everyone is doing this now. Whatever. Merry Quirksmas to all.]

[robitussin]

Can I see the PDA for a second?
