Most of the kids looked like they were halfway fit, although he knew they’d be far better after a few months under his care. Sure, he couldn’t teach them anything about their powers, but he’d spent most of his life tuning his body to its maximum potential and that experience was something Roman was determined to apply in getting these teenagers into peak physical condition.<br><br>After leading the six future superheroes up to the second floor, the physical instructor waved them over to the seating in the lounge. For himself, he walked around the kitchen space, pacing like a restless jungle cat. Roman clapped his hands together and grinned at his charges. <strong>”Here we are! Just in case you’ve forgotten in the past five minutes, I’m Roman Kalani. Alongside crafting your bodies into masterpieces of physical performance, I’ve been assigned as your Residential Advisor.”</strong><br><br>He held a hand out, describing a circle around the group. <strong>”If any of you have a problem or a question, I’m the man to bring it to.”</strong> Roman smiled ruefully. <strong>”Unless it’s about your tablets, in which case you’ll be better off talking to the tech guys over at admin because electronics and me have deep seated issues.”</strong> The tall man shrugged and smiled once more. <strong>”I can’t promise I’ll be easy to track down, but my door is always open if you need me. Now, is there anything you need me to answer?”</strong>

				<div class="floatleft">(http://www.girlswithmuscle.com/images/full/746549258.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Brandt<br><strong>Alias:</strong> Mantis<br><strong>Dorm Assignment:</strong> Floor 2, Room 3<br><strong>Location:</strong> Dormitory Level Two<br><strong>Date/Time:</strong> September 2nd, Late evening<br><strong>Wearing:</strong> Olive Drab Sweater, Light Gray Sweatpants<br><strong>Tagging: </strong>Open<br><hr><br>Mantis paid patient attention to her resident adviser/instructors instructions. She was more interested in him pointing out the various facilities and buildings of this recently constructed academy, as she continued to find it all rather compelling. This academy, nestled in the mountains on the eve of winter was quite an experience for the young Vietnamese raised woman. She wouldn't state that she found it quite shocking, but in fact was still coming to grips with everything she had been experiencing ever since her flights arrival here. Thanks to the modernization of Vietnam, the shock wasn't quite as profound as it might've been for earlier generations, but the plane flight alone was rather riveting. Her mind was still trying to catch up with the reason of how she was able to travel so fast across the ocean, even though, intellectually, she understood why. The massive indoor marketplaces that her SHIELD handlers have briefly visited whilst she was in their care first arriving in America had been a marvel, but one she easily reconciled due to her exposure to Western media via television and movies even if her access to such media whilst at the monastery was somewhat limited. <br><br>The most striking thing to her was the diversity of it all. Not just of the beautiful panoply of people, but of dress and style, of accents and clothing, of behavior and even choice in cars and food. There was one relief, it smelled far better here and as much as the locals might've griped, almost everything she had seen appeared to be cleaner, newer... fresher then the cities of her homeland. It was all beautifully organized chaos and for the longest period of time she had been grappling with coming face to face with tolerating and accepting such a multitude of differences. <br><br>Just as readily as she was plunged into the world of the West, or at least America, she had left it for this Academy. It seemed to combine the aesthetic qualities of the monastic life she was used to and raised in, and yet also combined strong elements of the Western civilization she had experienced in only brief, fleeting glimpses. The aesthetics, the diversity and the technology remained, but the energy and life and vibrancy of what she had seen in the American cities was gone. The limited blend of the two aspects was interesting to her, and in truth, was something she met with both relief and regret. She liked the intimacy of what the Academy would offer, but knew it would never compare to the tranquility she fled from whilst amongst the Priests of Pama. And while she liked she would engage in a gradual and limited version of immersion into the West, she would still long a bit for a true, more full breadth of experience like she had upon first arriving at the ACE Academy.<br><br>As Roman wound up his discussion, Mantis wasn't listening no less patiently, but was rather less interested. While she had no doubt that Roman was impressive as a physical trainer, and more importantly, like any physical instructor worth his salt, would be able to break down and whip into shape any crop of students, regardless of fitness, the truth was she wasn't terribly interested in his counsel beyond his limited purview. She knew it was her lack of technological knowledge that was a main weakness of hers. Despite having had access to a wealth of information while growing up, computers and moreso tablets and smartphones were not something readily accessible. She mostly read books, lots and lots and lots of books. Her time at the monastery, and subsequent career as a barmaid, opened her up to other forms of media. There were televisions at the monastery after all, it wasn't a Luddite facility. But still limited. She knew much of her electives time would be spent increasing her computer literacy to at least basic levels and Roman would be of little help in that regard.<br><br>Truth was, without realizing what her tablet's functionality and capability was, she was longing to get one of those 'e-readers' that she had seen one of her SHIELD handlers show her when she first arrived in America. Now those seemed like one of the best examples of Western technology and something she'd find useful. But alas... she was stuck with this space age, transparent tablet. Oh well, sometimes one had to adapt and overcome. As Roman opened himself up to questions, Mantis remained quiet, eager to get to her dormitory and settling in for the night. She had spent enough time in America to adjust to the time differences, but knew it was getting late. Plus before departing here, her SHIELD handlers had given her a literal crate of new books to read, and she was planning on maximizing her reading time whenever she could. <br><br>

Soon, soon he'd be able to take off his glasses, and he'd be able to feel the pressure--like someone squishing his eyes, as if they were grapes-- release itself. <br><br>But, first, he had to take advantage of questioning time. "Do we ever get to leave the facility? Like, vacation time? Also, who do I speak to to get my knife back? It was confiscated... I know, for good reasons, but I'd prefer to have it back. It's sentimental."

There was not much Roman could tell him about the facility, well parts he had been allowed to get into. If a tour was on the agenda he would find a way to get out of it and find something else to do. Jimmy was not a stranger to the gymnasium, as boring as he found it, he welcomed a change of pace. Unfortunately Jimmy didn't have a lot of hobbies, but he had something on his desk in his dorm no one else had seen (a homemade zen garden) and an interest in historical war texts. His bike was gone, but he really loved spending time in a shop, it didn't matter what he was doing as long as it was with his hands. The one class he had done well with were the shop classes, metalworking his favorite. <br><br>As a round of questions were asked he looked over towards Jean and decided to fluster the poor girl. "Finally inviting me over after light's out red?" He asked with a sly little smirk before winking her direction.

It wasn't exactly a surprise that some of the students were already thinking about leaving - disappointing to be sure, but hardly surprising. The physical instructor wondered if he should worry that the student being most vocal about leaving was also the one that wanted a dangerous weapon to be returned to him. Was the teenager considering leaving a bunch of corpses behind him as he fled the facility through the Rocky Mountains? That was the sort of unbalanced behaviour he was supposed to be on the look out for amongst his charges. Or maybe he was reading too much into it. That happened from time to time. <br><br>He clicked his fingers together a couple of times. <strong>"You'll get to leave on special assignments, or when your training is complete - so plenty of incentive there to push yourselves hard. As for vacations, you get almost the whole of Sunday to yourself."</strong> Roman offered Erik a smile, certain that the students would be thrilled at getting that much free time. <strong>"As for your knife, if it was confiscated, then its safe to say you'll get it back when you leave the facility. Although I suppose if its that big an issue, one of the techs could install a secure display case in your room for it to sit inside."</strong> The tall man shrugged, not seeing the difference in whether the knife was safe in storage somewhere or locked up in the kid's room. <br>&nbsp;<br>As Jean asked her question, Roman's eyes widened. Then, remembering his own teenage experiences with the opposite gender, he grinned. <strong>"You can have whoever you like in your room, although you are expected to be alone in your own room from light's out at 2200 through to light's on at 0500. As for what happens if you aren't in your own room after 2200 - well the first time you'll get a warning, the second time will see you lose privileges and a third violation will likely see you accompanied around campus by an agent, who will help you learn how to tell the time shown on the many displays as well as your tablets."</strong> The instructor turned and paced back-and-forth for several seconds before looking back to the group. <strong>"Anything else you want to ask?"</strong>
