<div class="floatleft">(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/4715/knoll.jpg)</div>Name: Trevor Valtarius<br/>Location: The Institute, Classroom 1A ----> Gravity, why do you betray me?<br/>Tagging: Erie<br/><br/>Trevor continued writing her responses and answering the questions himself as they came.  "Well....for me, I think the sky looks best when it's slightly overcast.  A few grey clouds here and there, but no real weather going on aside from that.  Just something to turn things a few shades less bright than normal, really."<br/><br/>Trevor was actually quiet for a good few moments on the eighth question.  He sighed a little with slight disappointment when Erie mentioned that books bored her...but then again, perhaps this would give him a chance to show her that not all of them are that bad.  When he finally spoke, it was after a slight nod.  "I think...Homer's 'The Odyssey' affected me the most out of all the ones I have read.  It was the first book I read, and it got me hooked on reading anything and everything I could get my hands on.  It's also the book that drove me to get an interest in mythology in the first place, and why I have studied as much into it as I have."<br/><br/>He actually let out a small noise of amusement when the next question came up.  "Anything 'written' by Stephanie Meyers.  Especially that horrid Twilight book.  I could put a monkey in front of a typewriter, and get a better book than those."<br/><br/>He frowned a little on the tenth question.  "...will I even live that long?  I don't know.  I suppose I'll cross the bridge of who to invite if I ever reach it..."  That's of course, excluding his complete and utter lack of friends to actually invite to it.<br/><br/>"A dodecahedron is the shape I feel fits me best.  I won't go into why at this time."  He sighed a little.  He halfway expected to be asked what a dodecahedron even was.<br/><br/>He frowned again on the next question.  "Well...I suppose it has its pros and cons.  On the one hand, it would make it very easy to hide away from those who might wish to bully me around.  On the other, if they did find me, they'd be liable to torture me in far more gruesome ways than they already might.  Not to mention many other hazards to be concerned over....no, not too pleasant, I am afraid.  Cons definitely outweigh pros in that given situation."<br/><br/>He took a deep breath, and exhaled it before answering the next question.  "I joined due to following the logic that an institute like this might be in need of someone who can strategize around and out-think the enemy.  I do not desire to see this world brought to ruin, even if it has treated me cruelly thus far.  Even with all the suffering I have endured, there are many good things in the world I do not desire to see harmed.  Therefore, I joined with the intentions of becoming a strategical overseer to help in any way I possibly can."<br/><br/>He nodded a little in agreement with Erie's statement.  "Indeed, free water.  It also gives a very good reason to curl up by a fireplace and read a good book, among other potential indoor activities and recreation.  I definitely prefer the rain myself."<br/><br/>He paused for a moment to consider the musical options he had before him.  He had encountered many good songs, and it was difficult to choose one.  However, he did finally come to a decision after a brief moment of contemplation.  "I suppose I shall have to go with Beethoven's 'Fur Elise' to answer this question."<br/><br/>For the seventeenth question, he quirked a bit of an eyebrow at Erie's answer, looking quizzically curious.  "Your milk?  I am not quite sure I understand what you mean by that...but I am partial to tea myself, if given an option of the three."<br/><br/>It was at that time that the floor vanished from beneath them, and they were falling.  Trevor was entirely unsure of how to react to this, and his flailing about might have been comical if anyone could have seen it.  He didn't really scream, however, and ended up faceplanting on....relatively soft and cushy carpet?  Well, it could have ended worse, at least.  He looked up just in time to see the light above fading as the trapdoor sealed above them.  "Hmmm...."  He sounded thoughtful as he stood up, as opposed to Erie's semi-panicking reaction.  His first course of action was to try and help her calm down.  "Please, calm down Erie, it's all right.  No, I don't believe this is a pop quiz, at least not the kind you are thinking of.  I believe this is a test designed to promote teamwork between each of the monster and human pairs, based on what the teacher's explanation was."  He took a moment to feel around, trying to avoid invading Erie's personal space as much as possible, though that was difficult.  Thankfully it was dark enough that she wouldn't be able to see him blushing over how close together they were, as this was the closest he had ever been to a woman before.  "The walls feel rounded...and rough.  Perhaps there is a way to scale them...it also seems that they are not spaced overly far apart, given our close proximity and the inability to move about freely."<br/><br/>He sounded very calm about this, and in all honesty, he was focused on rationalizing a way up and out of the pit that they had found themselves in.  "Might I ask what all special capabilities you have at your disposal?  I might be able to figure out a way for us to get up, depending on what you are capable of that you can currently make use of....opening the trap door will be an interesting challenge, but I've read about situations like these before.  There's bound to be a way out somehow."
