Furry Boot Camp! (i am bored ^_^)

[Rahvan]

Azrael quietly stepped into the control center, having a decent look upon the two pedestals and the suits that lay on top of them, the suits where meant for the recruits, as soon as they would put them on, and the visor that matched it, they would find themselves in the arena of Azrael's choice. Each combatant would find though that they where equally matched in strength and size, it would be a match of skill, not powers or strength. He gently trailed his paw over the control panel before him, knowing that he could throw diversions at the children when that was required.

Meridian smiled as he looked at the clock in the mess hall, seeing that it was almost time for the training, and without hesitation he padded up to the VR center, awaiting for the doors to be opened so he could step in.

Alexa carried on trudging through the snow. Her baggy t-shirt wasnt equipped for such cold weather, as she hugged her arms tightly to herself. She had been told they would be learning at a VR centre, whatever that may be. As she approached the centre, she saw the boy she had seen the other day. Tilting her head forwards to look down at the snow and her face was hiden under her gignger locks, she walked to the centre and leaned against the wall casually. She looked up slowly and smiled at him.

[Omega]

*stops holding the bag and notices what time it is* "Oh crud, im gonna be late for practice!" *he rushes over to the VR center and sees Alexa outside of its doors, feeling less tense he slows down and walks over to her then leans against the wall next to her and waits for practice to begin*

[Iggy Cullen]

Alexa looks over seeing Omega and smiles as he leans on the wall next to her "combat, cant wait!" she spoke cheerfully, with a slight laughter to her voice. She looked back to Meridian, trying to catch his eye, seeing as he never seemed to talk to anyone else, and thought he could do with a friend around here, like she had found a friend in Omega.

[Rahvan]

Azrael pressed a couple of buttons when it turned noon, and with a hiss the door slid open, revealing the interior of the chamber to the children that stood waiting for him, his paw moved towards the microphone and he spoke in it softly. "You can all enter, and Phoenix, you have been cleared for drugs, you can participate of you so seek." He started tapping a few controls and slowly both platforms and the rack of gear lit up, revealing to the children the suits of midnight black with silver disks attached to it. The VR visors where on a shelf, each a half circle that would fir over the eyes and would cling to the head without harming the wearer.

The pedestals where about 10 feet in diameter, ringed with steel rails as to make sure that others would not wander upon the pedestals while two subjects where using them. "Okay, the first two volunteers can get their suits and a visor, do not put the visor on just yet, you can do that when you have taken place on the pedestals, when you have taken place I will explain the procedure to you all."

Meridian grinned widely and stepped up as soon as he heard the words, padding over to the suits and putting one on as fast as he could. He quickly snatched a visor off the rack and stepped up onto the right pedestal, awaiting for someone else to step up.

((Okay, who wants to meet me in the ring? *Smirks* Don't worry, It isn't lethal, except in Virtual Reality of course))

[Iggy Cullen]

((yeah i will, just try not to completely kill me!))

smiles and goes through the doors. As she hears the word volenteer, her hand shot up without her even noticing, and she walked to get a visor and climbed into her suit, before stepping on the pedestal, smirking slightly.

[Omega]

*goes inside the center to get away from the cold then takes a seat to watch Alexa and Meridian on a large screen, thinking to himself- "Dang, Lex sure does look hot in that suit."*

[Rahvan]

Azrael started to tap away on the control panel, selecting the area where the children would fight, his choice came up to a city, though he did not know who's advantage that would be in. "Okay kids, when you put on your visor you will see a town, it will be about as large as the capital, and you have the entire area to fight if you might need it. All tactics that you know are allowed, you can use anything that you find in the world as a weapon. There are no weapons shops in the town and you will have to think about where to get your arms. Feel free to enter when you feel ready, you will first get a few minutes to get familiar with the area." He started to type away again and smirked, wishing to see whom of the would emerge victorious. "Neural interface... active."

Meridian smiled and nodded before putting on the visor, the world coming into existence before him. First the buildings started to form, the gigantic structures of concrete and metal shifting and taking form, the curbs and streets where next, then the humans and anthro's appeared, each lifelike and seemingly breathing. As he looked up to the sky he could see the clouds above him, and far away even the small fleck that would soon appear to be a plane. "Cool..." Outside of the reality one could see the child looking around, but on the big screen one could see the entire world, and with the proper tap of a button one could zoom in on certain areas.

((Okay, Iggy, you start of at the industrial terrain, the buildings of concrete and steel much larger and smoke billowing from the chimneys. around you can see small patches of grass and a few workers going about their business, 10 feet to your left there is a street, on it a few trucks riding by. There is much noise and the smoke hangs low, completely obscuring sight after 200 feet, you feel nothing from the smoke that you appear to be breathing though, it just obscures sight. You start of in your normal civilian clothing and 50' away from you there is a small knife on the ground.

If you lean down and 'touch' the ground then the suits gives you a certain amount of pressure on that point of your paw, this will apply to each item that you touch, as to any blows that your character will receive. There won't be enough to actually hurt your character, but if you lose the fight you will have some bruising. I will give you a fair fight, you and I are on equal terms here. I will not type for Azrael from now on, only when we have concluded will I do him again. ))

[Iggy Cullen]

((alright then, i'll try my best but i cant promise a thing!))

Alexa places the visor on over her eyes, and the world suddenly appeared. The smoke starting clogging up her views, but she sharpened her senses to look around at the floor. She saw a glinting item quite a way away. As she walked to it she kneeled down and examined a small knife on the floor. As she picked it up, she felt its weight. 'this is so cool' she thought to herself, as everything seemed so real, even though if she slide of the visor, she would be back stood on the pedestal. as she stood up ,she decided she would get to know the routes around. She looked at a road, where some trucks were slowly going by, and the road was misted over with smoke from somewhere unknown to her.

[Rahvan]

Meridian wandered around through the city that lay before him, gazing at the buildings in awe. He had never seen something like this, and it all seemed so real, in the distance, far to the south of town he could swear that he saw chimneys of an industrial terrain, and to the north there was clear sky. He quietly wandered around and spotted something on the floor, forgotten by the masses that passed by it. He reached down and tried to grab it, feeling the pressure on his right paw as it connected, and for a moment he stood there, just standing still, marveling at what he had just felt. He quietly raised it to look at it and saw several buttons on the small device that fit in his palm, and soon he was tapping away at it.

With each tap of the button he saw another district of the city, industry, living quarters, mall, slums, the sea, everything seemed to be accounted for in the world that he had just entered. "How did they make this.... it is huge..." He kept tapping away at the buttons, zooming in on certain areas to find routes, but he already knew that he would not be able to remember each and every passage that he saw.

((If you wish Iggy, feel free to find a navigator, though I doubt you will need it.))

[Iggy Cullen]

((err...sorry...having a little blode moment here, whats a navigator *she asked dumbly!* ))

[Rahvan]

((Basically it is a map in digital form, like I gave to my own character, it allows your character to 'see' the town without having too look around, I will give data on the area that you will enter when I think it's a good moment to do so ^^ Without it you are basically searching forever))

[Iggy Cullen]

((oh okay, i think my very small brain has caught up now ))

 Alexa looked around, still holding the knife, she saw something again on the floor quite a bit away. She slipped the knife into the side of her suit trousers and walked slowly towards it. Kneeling once more she picked up the remote. She gave a mishcevious grin and pressed some of the buttons. She got to change to different areas of the virtual town instantly. One minute she was stood outside a building, next she was inside a building, and then in a field. She continued to flick through the buildings, and wondered when she would come across meridian and the combat excersise(?) would begin.

[Rahvan]

(( O.O Not like that... I mean just a map, not an instant switch of area, that would be too great an escape tool (I know myself) It will just show you where you are in the world

As an example, take a map you have laying around at home, and look at it, you will see the country or whatever the map is about, you can read the names and see the states that it consists off, you'll see the towns that lay in your little country, but you CANNOT just poof towards it.))

[Iggy Cullen]

((sorry, i think my cats infected me to make me even stupider thn usual! she just clawed me so im of all sorts coz it heurts, i'll try again! Alexas map, take 2! ))

EVERYONE IGNORE THE COMMENT ABOVE THAT I MADE!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alexa saw a small map on the floor that had just appeared that she ghadnt noticed until now. Kneeling down she opened up the ap and looked around "so if im here..." she pointed to outside a building that looked vaugely(?) like the one she was knelt outside.  She traced her finger along the map then looked up "...there must be a field over there..." tracing her finger again whilst looking up "..and more buildings and shops there."
(am i right this time?)
