Dawn: Do you have any hobbies?

Lorissa: What do you want to do after school ends?

Eric: Have you spoken to any of Nikki's other old friends about what happened to/with her?

Dawn: I read a lot. I like to go swimming too, which I know is weird, but I started at a young age so it doesn't bother me. I never really use the pool at school though, the first couple of times I tried I got that "you're not welcome here" look, so I go to one of the local places near the school. Still get weird looks though.

Lorissa: I'm going into high-end auto customization. Most of your expensive, high-dollar cars come in one or two, maybe three standard models for the "average" 'mon, but for a lot of us that just doesn't do. Shocks have to be reinforced, seats re-made, the body widened, that sort of thing. And rich people who love their cars will pay very good money to have that work done, sometimes as much as the car itself it worth.

Eric: A few. Mitzi and Sherilyn have both been eye-openers. I think I have a general idea what her deal is, just not sure what to do about it. Hard to get someone to listen when their attention is focused on listening to all the wrong people.

Eric: 'Wrong people' Like who?

Lydia: What's your favorite thing about the mortal world? Your least favorite?

Eric: Noone in particular, it's just that a lot of people say things to her, sometimes just in passing, and it seems she always pays attention to the wrong ones.

Lydia: The best? Just the variety of everything, so many things to experience. Just... colors. It's much more chaotic here. The worst? The way that mortals seem to spend so much time worrying about things that just don't matter. Mortals are, no offense, pretty short-lived and to spend so much time being miserable over what's really nothing just doesn't make any sense to me.

Laing: Just what do you think of Nikki's new attitude?

Eric: How are things between you and Gabby?

To all of Team One Trick: How do you deal with being all the same type on one team?

Liang: She's much different now, that's for certain. I think perhaps Master Huang may have made a mistake when he dismissed her a few years ago, as I think she has forgotten many of his lessons. Then again, perhaps there is wisdom here that I cannot grasp.

Eric: Things are great. We've been together, officially, for months now and I've never been happier.

Kalim: We each have a diverse variety of skills. So many think that it is only your type and the attacks that you know that make a fighter, but what makes an attack effective or not is the skill of the one using it.

Dawn: We specialize in team battles, and are very good at covering each other while maximizing our strengths. The idea is to make those strengths worth more than our collective weaknesses.

Kristoff: Ja and a good old-fashioned punch to the nose doesn't care what your type is.

Everyone: Any of you not have dates to the Fall Formal?

Gavin: Nae, I think I might just go stag and keep an eye out.

Anna No, nobody's asked and I don't expect anyone will. I don't have anything to wear anyway.

Lydia: I'm not actually a student yet so I can't go, wish I could, it sounds fun!

Kalim: The only one of us who is going is Kristoff, he is going with a skuntank girl he met just the other day. My brother Raza's girlfriend from back home may be visiting at that time, but she can't be sure yet.

Marcus: Why would I waste my time with such idiocy?

Lorna: We's goin' to a party at Viridian University instead, I know some guys in a frat thar, an' we're gonna really party, none a this stupid high school baby crap.

Faran: Dances are gay.

Lorissa: *sighs* I don't think I'm going, I made a bet with someone though and if he comes through on his end I will be.

Liang: I don't, know. I don't know very many people here yet and am afraid I'd fine the whole thing a bit awkward.

Stormy; Any of you guys wanna go with a lonely altrai?

Marcus: What's the whole "doom and gloom" thing going on? (no pun intended).

Faran: I hear you're a dick...why you gotta be a dick?

Marcus: Look around, the world is a dismal place and the light of the world is dimming. There are dark powers beyond our realm that you can only imagine. But I have spoken with their heralds and am prepared for their coming, in fact I welcome it, for in the new world order re-made in their image, loyal followers like myself will hold the true power.

Faran: Why not? I don't care about a bunch of pussies that cry about their hurt feelings because I tell it like it is. We live in a brutal world where the strong crush the weak, and tears are only good for getting your ass kicked even more. Hugs and "feelings" are for girls.

Marcus: And what proof or personal experience do you have to back this up?

Faran: Same question for you.

Anna: Is there anything you want to accomplish at school? Or afterwards?

Lorissa: How're things with Jeremy?

Anna: I'm just hoping to get on somewhere as an arena fighter. They make good money and my family back home needs it badly. That's pretty much the only reason I'm here.

Lorissa: There's nothing "between" us, we're just friends. With benefits I'll happily admit, but still friends. We hang out and all but we're not "dating".

Faran: How do you get along with your cousin, Mitzi?

(I'll take it you mean Marcus, he's her cousin, not the blaziken)

Marcus: Who? Oh, her? I haven't spoken with that pup since we were... six? Seven? Barely remember her other than the fact that she was a spastic pest. I know she's supposedly on the best team in school, a fact my overbearing mother loves to hold over me, but that's all. From what I've heard she's just as irritating as she was when she was six, and about as smart.

Oops. Thanks for the correction.

Bob- What a charmingly disagreeable individual.

Temper/Alan/Ferris: Yutz.

Uh, In case that came out wrong, they were talking about Marcus, not you, carlito. You are neither a yutz, nor disagreeable.

I gathered :P

Marcus: Tell Us what you've done to earn the favor of the Dark Lords, and how do you know when it's working?

Gavin: Anyone in particular you fancy, taken or not?

Marcus: Praise, offerings of servitude in the world beyond as well as this one, recitations in the ancient tongues. Ask any of my opponents from the arena how the flames and darkness feel, they'll tell you it's working...

Gavin: Oh quite a few of the girls at school, most in fact. But I am nothing if not patient, except perhaps prepared.

samual: anyone, care for a fight? training match or anything like that?

Lorissa: So, got yer eye on anyone? <wink wink nudge nudge>

Lorissa: Oh lots of someones. No shortage of hunks in this school. There's one guy who asked me to the dance, I said yes under one condition so we'll see if he can come up with that condition. Hey I might be more one of the guys than girls, doesn't mean I can't be all coy every now and then.

This one comes directly from Karma: "Liang. I'd like to personally meet you at some point in time. But aside from that, how do you best describe the path you walk?" Yeah, I know, it's all cryptic and Karma-y.

This one goes to One-Trick in general. When it comes to group tactics, how do you all generally work? Let's assume a four-on-four free-for-all. Who assumes what roles?

And, to dredge up an 'old'-PC one, since I never got around to asking this:

Nicole. It's pretty obvious that the Boyz are gunning for Jet, considering their breakneck fight schedule and Wrex being Wrex. While I imagine they're not that large of a concern, how much of a chance do you think they have of having a legit right to challenge you for the top spot?

Liang: One that avoids tripping over things as much as possible. But no, Master Huang has taught me much. For one he taught that the ambitious 'mon strives to better himself, the good 'mon strives to better others, while the wise 'mon knows that the one cannot be accomplished without the other. Always be prepared to scale any mountain in your path, but do not spend so much time looking at the peak that you fail to notice the tunnel carved through it.

Kalim: Well I am most adept at skilled hand-to-hand combat, my brother is most skilled at using his attacks at range. Kristoff is strong and tough but far from a simple brute, while Dawn... is adept at specializing in nothing, she is by far the most adaptable of us. We all share the Flash Fire ability, so in a battle we strive to catch each other in our own flame blasts, turning the battlefield into a scorched plain. We leave openings for our opponents as bait then trust a teammate to spring the trap. It is all a matter of knowing each other and training and battling so often as a group that the team itself is almost like a single entity.

Nicole: Depends, they still have a lot to chew through first. They haven't really faced many senior opponents and seem more noise than anything else. The "we're big scary kids from a bad school" routine doesn't mean squat to us. They prove they're more than just talk, we'll see. So many people gun for us thinking their intense training is all they need. What, like we sit around on the couch eating Twinkies and watching game shows? All their intense training is just breaking even.

Team One Trick: Are you thinking of taking on Team Jet any time soon?

Kalim: No, we have just transferred here and know that we must... how is it said... pay our dues first. They are very good, much better than the top team at our former school, and while we would certainly like to challenge them sometime, it will not be any time soon.

*Takes this moment to get IC...*
<Penny> Alright! I get to ask questions now!

Nicole: About what year in school did Team Jet finally get its claws sunk in as the top team of its grade?

Anna: How are you adjusting to working on a team these days, and have any tales to share about fights with Absols?

Nicole: After midterm exams of our junior year. There was a whole, three-part story about it, what didn't you read it? *peers*

Anna: It's not much different really. I just train with other people sometimes, that's all. Weird things tend to happen when I'm fighting against absols but it's not just them, it happens with murkrows and togekiss too. I fought an absol when I was a sophomore, he was a junior so he's graduated now, I forget his name. He attacked me with a dark pulse but missed, he hit a post on the arena floor that some loudspeakers were attached to. He started running at me when the post fell over, one of the loudspeakers came loose and hit him in the head. He started swearing really loud, which got picked up by the loudspeaker, then he got tangled in the cord and fell over, which pulled the post over on top of him. He got knocked out and I won without ever doing anything. They took the posts out after that, now the loudspeakers are all suspended from the ceiling.

Nicole: Of course I haven't read it. But yeah, neither has my creator that is typing this text this very moment, yet anyway... You'd be amazed by how much he has to catch up on around FA!

Liang: You've seemed pretty interested in Capoiera. Is there any particular reason for this? Like a style you may want to learn at some point?

Anna: Thoughts on Katie?

<Jenn> I'll ask this next one. Lorissa, seven friggin' times and you're not dating him? Are you insane girl? Lock him in a closet at least!

Liang: I'm fascinated by unusual styles, and the grace and artistry of it as well. Master Huang instructed me in the basics, very basics, at one point, but I have no ability for it. Drunken dancing? That just sounds dangerous.

Anna: I like Katie, she's one of the only friends I have here really. She can be a little... affectionate but I don't really mind, it's kind of funny in a way. I know she's trying to get me to get out and meet people and all that, I'm just not a real social person, so it's hard.

Lorissa: *laughs* I'm just a horrible dater. I've never "dated" any guy and had it turn out well, something always happens to screw it up. Usually something I do. I'm not ruling it out, but for now, if it ain't broke...

@ Anna: Being a part of Team Clockwork, how do you feel about your fellow teammates and your up coming match against Blackheart? And really what do you think about your team in general?

@ Tenebra: Last I seen you was looking over at Dystopia, do you find her interesting to you? And what are your thoughts on her in general?

@ Nikki: Like Tenebra, what are your main thoughts on Dystopia, any concerns for her?

Anna: They're fine, Josh takes things too seriously sometimes and Chaos does too I guess. Then again I guess I'm not one to talk. I haven't given the match much thought, I have some ideas but really I don't make plans. If you don't make plans, nobody can ruin them. I know Josh has some big plans, just not sure if there's time to see them through.

Tenebra: Interesting? I wouldn't say that. All that talk about having some beast inside of her? If she only knew...

Nikki: Not my concern. She either needs to get some help or go away.

@ Anna: Josh having big plans? Yeah I'm sure he probably does for his opponent, are you concerned that things might not go well with him?

@ Tenebra: If only she knew? You two seem to share somethings in common (A small thing really) maybe if possible you two could spark up and talk to each other

@ Nikki: And if she were to go away? How do you think it would affect others?

Anna: Oh wait, I meant big plans in general, not for the fight. I don't really know what he has planned for the fight. I don't expect things to get too out of hand, no.

Tenebra: I don't talk to people. Never had a reason to.

Nikki: Wouldn't bother me, I'm sure I'm not the only one. I only know her by reputation.

@ Anna: Ah, so what your your thoughts on your opponent for your match?

@ Tenebra: And if she were to have a conversation with you at some point? How do you think that would fare?

@ Nikki: Ah, reputation and what are your thoughts of the rest of her team if you've had the chance to meet them.

Anna: I don't know too much about him really. I think I've been in a class or two with him, that's about it. He seems an O.K. guy, but we haven't really had much interaction. Josh tells me I should research my opponents better but really, no plan of battle ever survives engagement with the enemy. I don't remember where I heard that, maybe the History Channel.

Tenebra: Honestly? I don't think we'd have a lot to talk about. Ironic isn't it?

Nikki: Haven't talked with them much. Jenny seems alright, Zephir, that's her boyfriend, right? I honestly pay little to no attention to people's relationships around here. Could write a dissertation on that and who has the time? Anyway he seems a little... spastic maybe, but alright. Xuor is another one of those that seems a little all over the place, to me anyway. Needs more focus.

@ Anna: I didn't know you watched the History Channel oo

@ Tenebra: I'll say, I figured you two could swap some big battle story or compare scars heh, then again that would be creepy to a certain extent wouldn't it?

@ Nikki: Yes, Zephir is her boyfriend. As many people see him the 'David Bowie' of Absols around. Xuor must remind you a bit of Mitzi, I think they have a personality similiar just he's more focused at times than Mitzi

Lydia: Are you taking any tutoring to help live in the mortal world?

Liang: Are there any particular exotic fighting styles that you are interested in learning either at the school or on your own?

Lydia: My parents tried to line me up with a lot of them, but honestly? I've found that TV is a better teacher than all of them put together.

Liang: Well Master Huang teaches that the best style is no style. I do not like to label things, particularly fighting styles. I feel that to do so is to by definition attempt to limit or restrict them. In this way, everyone's style is exotic, and in this sense, I wish to learn all of them.

Nikki: Any underclassmen you see as having an actual chance of doing something good at the school?

Dom: Tabi and Licorice. Discuss.

Faran: What's more Metal? Pain or Misery?

Nikki]/i]: A few. Problem is that most of them look at "underclassman" like it's an insult. They get so caught up in "proving themselves" that they think they're entitled to skip over everything that the people they're trying to prove themselves [i]to have gone through. Yeah that's a real winning attitude. The underclassmen that realize they need to learn to walk before they can run, let alone fly? Those have a chance. But good luck finding one.

Dominic: Ho boy, where to start? I love Tabi to death, she's the best thing to ever happen to me. She's definitely put my head on straight. I like Licorice too, she's loads of fun to hang out with and just generally a cool person. I know they spend a lot of time together, and it's cool with me. I'll confess though I'm not 100% sure where I stand and do kinda feel left out sometimes.

Faran: Misery. Any fool can stub their toe and feel pain.

Tenbra: Are you going to the fall formal? If so, who with?

Tenebra: Hell no.

Tenebra, sorry.

Snowy G: Dawn, your graceful FireSpin is like a lascivious lambada to my ignescent heart! Join me for coffee?

Al: Oh for heaven's sake.

Dawn: You're buying alliteration-boy...

Snowy G: See that? I TOLD you alliteration was the key to the hearts of the ladies!

Al: Oh yeah, you sure showed me, Snowy.

Tenerbra: At what point will you say enougth and tell Nikki that your not her personal servant.

Nikki: Any chance of opening up and honestly talking to Tenebra?

Al: Any progress on talking to Tenebra so far?

Tenebra: I already have. It's not like she's ordering me to do her laundry or wash her car, the things she asks me to do are things I would probably do anyway. Not like I have anything better to do.

Nikki: I tried talking to her a few times when she was living in the guest house, when I thought she was just another one of dad's recruits, before he decided to take her in. I quickly gave up. All she does is grunt at people or ignore them, I don't have the time or patience to talk to someone like that.

As for Al, you'd have to ask Kae.
