Nicole: She felt bad for having to be so harsh on Diego but she had no desire to have him trail her around or even have to hurt him all the more at a later date, it was probably for the best as she could always find a way to make it up to him later. After a few moments of staring at the slammed door with a frown she turned back to Sarah. "Well the white hair is kinda...punky, mine's always been boring brown. I did dye it once for halloween but everyone gave me odd looks when I still had purple hair two days later so I got rid of it."<br/><br/>On mention of her ears she rose a hand up to touch at the stud on her left ear, it was hardly anything and she never really thought of it as much. "I've had them since I was ten, everyone I know has them...I can't really think of any girls who don't have them actually. Maybe we should go get your ears done sometime?" She smiled, it would be comforting to do something so normal considering people were showing up with walking piles of earth and laser beams at the moment, a taste of the mundane would be well over due.<br/><br/>Brining up the recent hit from Sarah's powers that Nicole had been the subject of had her blush, what she would do for a glass to sip from and hide her face until it passed but alas she had no such luck. "I went away quite quickly, I barely felt it anyway," in no way did she mean for that to sound like a challenge but it very well could have sounded like one. She stumbled over her words to say something along the lines of 'I didn't mean to say your powers were bad' as Helga fired up, quite literally. Granted that things here weren't always as they seemed but an angry woman with blue fire coming out of her hands looked and sounded like trouble from the screaming. Her guess was that the blue colour compared to the normal orange meant the fire was far more energetic than usual, it wouldn't be a good idea to get hit by it.<br/><br/>To that extent Nicole quickly grabbed Sarah by the arm and gave her a taste of her own powers, making the pair of them intangible to the world around them. While it wasn't as blatant a feeling as someone making you feel flushed or hungry it may have been odd for Sarah considering it would be her first time being out of sync with the physical world. While she could still feel the heat Nicole knew from experience that this would protect against the more physical aspects of fire, the plasma generated or energised particles which comprised the visible portion mostly.<br/><br/>ISIS within the common room: "Diego, was there a specific channel you were looking for? Also I am sure subject Nicole did not mean to hurt you with what she said, infact her facial expressions and bio-feedback suggest she regrets what she said. I would not suggest holding this against her if you wish to make friends. I suggest a more...tactful approach or atleast one that merits less shouting, as people would say try and 'play it cool'."<br/><br/>ISIS within the training room: Compared with Diego's previous demonstration that was more paranormal and difficult to contain ISIS had several safeguards in place to stop fires, they had been strengthened with Helga in mind. The softball of fire was not stopped, but as Helga began to burn up the remainder of her clothing several nozzles came from small panels on the ceiling. Without warning plumes of a mixture of fire retardant chemicals and gases were sprayed in Helga's direction until the threat had been sufficiently 'neutralized' even if this did take more than a short burst. Chemical foam, fire retardant gels and several inert gases from helium to heptafluoropropane were used, the large mixture to cover all the bases and to avoid using any of the more toxic ones such as carbon dioxide.<br/><br/>The fireball that was thrown was purposefully ignored, it was a good chance to see how well atleast one of the group would react to such a thing, ISIS could already see Nicole had demonstrated just what she would do in such a situation. Hopefully with Helga 'suppressed' and with nozzles still aimed at her ready to dump more foul smelling ooze or gas onto her ISIS was able to continue. "With everyone demonstrated I believe people are free to go off and do as they wish. Please note that outside of the training room a sign up board is set for a mission scheduled for tomorrow. Please put your name down if you wish to be on this first mission. A briefing will be held tomorrow at twelve am for those that sign up. Please make sure you are well rested for this."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
