Lycus kept her warm motherly smile on as Heart asked her question on proper care of the Pendent that keeps her Immersion level in check. "No real special care needed. They have been designed to be very resilient. As I'm sure you can gather, MS girls are quite the rowdy bunch, and often get knocked around quite a bit. So you should not have to worry about breaking it or anything." Lycus informed as Meer stepped up to answer the second question. "The Gym opens up at 5 in the morning. Many of the girls like to train, and exercise early in the morning before classes. It is also open to 10 at night for those that like to work out after classes too." She informed with a happy chirp in her voice.<br/><br/><div align="center">----------------------------------------------------------------------</div><br/>In that very same gym, sitting in the bleachers. A young woman with short blue hair watched as Heavy Arms was just finishing up her laps. Noin lost feeling in her butt at around lap 121, and stopped counting in the 140s, Miss Noin was under orders by the head of school Discipline, Lady Un, to keep an eye on the problem Girl, Heavy Arms. Her outbursts, and rampages had nearly costed people's lives, and is being taken very seriously by not only the administration of the school, but quite a few people above them. Right now, Heavy Arms was on her third probation of the year, and she had the very real threat of "Neutralization" hanging over her head.<br/><br/>Neutralization, just thinking about it made Noin shiver. To her it was a fate worse than death. Neutralization was a process were the girl had their ability to Immerse completely removed, and a complete frontal lobotomy performed. Basically making them unresponsive vegetables. It was a horrid option, but an option none the less. Considering how powerful these girls are, some even capable of fielding nuclear weapons. There had to be an threat to give the girls pause should they decide to go rogue. And death was so easily brushed off.<br/><br/>Noin still remembered the only Gundam Girl that had to be Neutralized, Psycho Gundam (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/1d/Maid-psycho2.jpg). She was a broken girl that came from a very abusive home. The girl had violent Mood swings that put Heavy Arms's to shame, and she didn't care whom she lashed out at when those swings hit. So many people tried to help her control her power, and her anger. Yet the scars, and wounds were deep. Deeper than anyone imagined. Though it was thanks to Psycho Gundam that scientists, and researchers discovered the Third level of immersion. At the cost of nearly 3,000 civilians when Psycho Gundam escaped the research institute in Hong Kong, and started a rampage through the city in her Full Immersion form. the Swath of destruction took up half the island with countless injured. She was subdued when she ran out of energy, and collapsed in the middle of her own destruction.<br/><br/>That was the day that the world truly woke up to the power of Gundam, and MS girls. Fear, and panic ran rampant, and there came the call for ALL girls showing the traits of being a Gundam, or MS girl to be Neutralized to prevent another Hong Kong. It would take everything the World governments had to quell the fear, and prevent the mass genocide. It only reinforced why the Academy, and other similiar institutions were so crucial in teaching the girls how to handle their power.<br/><br/>Noin still remembered that day, the procedure, and that crying frightened young woman pleading for mercy, to be Killed! Anything but being Neutralized. Psycho never asked to be an MS Girl, nor wanted the<em>Curse</em>that came with it. She hated it, all of it. How it made her a Monster that could never hope for a normal life. That it made others treat her differently. Noin remembered the "Good" days that Psycho had. She was a very gentle soul that liked peace, and solitude. Sitting in a garden, and listening to classical music as she took in the scent of flowers blooming.<br/><br/>Noin watched as Psycho had to be wrestled onto the table by several other MS Girls before the Doctors could strap her in. All non-essential personal were ordered out of the room then, including Noin. However, the MS Girls that had to wrestle their Sister to the table were forced to remain, and watch. It was punishment, and a dire warning to them. That they, too, could end up on that tables should they step out of line.<br/><br/>Outside the operating room, Noin sat and heard the screams of Psycho as she begged for Mercy, and cursed her fate. It ripped at her soul as she didn't dare try to cover her ears, or move away from the room. To do so would signify that she agreed with the sentiment that Psycho needed to be dealt with. However it happened, Psycho did  bring this upon herself.<br/><br/>Suddenly, as if a switch had be thrown, the screaming stopped, and all was dead silent. Twenty minutes later, The MS girls started to file out of the operating room. All them passing Noin as they walked to return to their own destinations, and escorts, Save for one. Noin looked up as MS Girl stopped right in front of her. Her horned, and spiked blue armor looking intimating in the sterile white hospital hallway. "Operation Complete. I'm allowed to return to the Academy now." Gouf Custom stated as she looked down at the Woman that was sitting before her. Noin could only look back at Gouf, into her ruby colored eyes that showed no emotion. At the time she wondered what was going on inside Gouf's mind. She still does wonders what Gouf thought about that experience even to this day.<br/><br/>Noin doesn't know what became of Psycho after that. Did they take her to be experimented upon, or simply thrown into a windowless room to waste away, and rot? She didn't want to think about it. Thinking about reminded her that she was an instrument in Psycho's fate.<br/><br/>Noin shook herself from her thoughts as she realized that Heavy Arms had stopped running laps, and was doing flips, and all sorts of other things. She was agile, particularly for her weight. However, there were still other MS that were even more agile, and even faster. Noin could only imagine what Heavy Arms was imagining in that nearly deserted Gym. Probably fighting few other MS Girls that were either working out, or playing games like volleyball, or basketball in the gym that late at night.<br/><br/>With A sigh, Noin stood up, and let out a high pitched shrill whistle to get the Girl's attention. "Alright Heavy Arms. That is enough for one day. It is almost 10, and the Gym is about to close. You have to get back to the dorms for Check in." Noin commanded before turning to the other girls. "That includes you lot as well." She called out. She got some groans of protest, but the girls followed her orders.<br/><br/><div align="center">-----------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div class="floatleft">(http://img0.diarynote.jp/photo/l/20060820/60264_20060820225603.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Gouf Custom<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Dormitory Baths<br/><strong>Tags</strong>K9, Open<br/><br/>--------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Gouf simply sat in the water by K9, as the warmth pulled the ache, and soreness from her muscles after that intense clash with Sandrock earlier after class. Though she would notice that the normally chipper K9 didn't seem so happy now. Gouf looked at her, and pondered what was the matter. She always remembered K9 as a seemingly bottomeless pit of happiness, and exuberance. Though as K9 sank lower into the bath. Gouf turned to stare off into space. Lost in thoughts that would forever be locked deep into her mind.<br/><br/>However, she quickly turned her head when she heard the sputtering and saw K9 coughing as she was trying to give Gouf the "I'm okay" Sign. Gouf blinked before she raised her hand out of the water, and gently set it upon K9's head. Patting the smaller girl reassuringly.
