<div style="text-align: left;"><strong>  Xavier White, 'Paladin'</strong></div><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee80/KaiStormwind/RP/justin-timberlake-808095024_zps7a229425.jpg)</div>Noticing that a fair few of the other contestants had already started to mingle around and get to know each other better, Xavier hastened in his search for a room big enough to accommodate both his Paladin suit and himself. It was probably best not to put off the socializing for too long. He eventually settled on one with windows that overlooked the pool, situated on the second floor. There was some space near the windows that was large enough for the suit. Xavier stepped out of his Paladin suit, dressed in a simple collared shirt with a blue and white checkered pattern and a pair of jeans. Xavier promptly activated his EV (a female knight called Joan) and claimed the room for himself. Leaving his robotic luggage and suit behind, Xavier left the room to do a little more exploration. He was most interested in finding out where the training center and Holo room were. And of course, getting to know his fellow contestants.<br/><br/>Xavier wasn't normally inclined to mingle around much, but in this case, he had to be prudent. It was advantageous to have friends and if they ever became enemies, well, at least he would have some knowledge of them that he could possibly use to his advantage. It would be best if that particular scenario never came to pass however. Xavier might not be very sociable but he wasn't a complete loner and nor was he out to be a lone wolf or make enemies either. At least five of them would join him as Olympian colleagues if he made it to the final six, so he wasn't looking forward to being on bad terms with anyone here. Well, except The Todd. Obnoxious guy. He'd probably get knocked out way before he could reach the final six though. Probably wouldn't even make it to the final ten.<br/><br/>Xavier had seen some of the others at the pool, but seeing as he wasn't dressed for swimming, and wasn't quite inclined to go swimming just then, he made for the kitchen instead, having seen a couple of other contestants there earlier. Upon entering the kitchen area, he saw three others. One was clearly the Merry Prankster. She was very distinctive, so it was easy to remember her and her alias. The makeup and costume made sure of that. The others...Xavier didn't remember. He would just have to ask then. "Merry Prankster? Hi, I'm Paladin. Pleasure to meet you." He would have to introduce himself to just about everyone. He was always in his Paladin suit during the tryouts so his face would have been a rare sight. he doubted that anyone here would see his face and be able to attach a name to him. The Paladin suit however, was a different story. He continued on, his next line directed at the two younger guys. "And uh, I'm sorry, but I don't remember your names. Introduce yourself? Paladin here."<br/><br/>Xavier busied himself with looking to see what was inside the refrigerator as he introduced himself to his two fellow contestants. Perhaps some food was in order. Not that he much else to do besides mingle, eat and relax. There weren't any missions or objectives and he highly doubted that anyone would want to train with him so early into their stay. After all, it was the first day and they'd only just arrived. Perhaps he could find some training partners soon though. Training was always better with others. it gave a better representation and simulation of what his suit could achieve and help him find areas to improve upon. Also, if it helped him gain friends and allies, why not then?<br/>
