It was so weird how relieved Rowan had been to see Jasmine back at school. Maybe it had been her own insecurity last year that she really felt like she missed her friend, who might have understood her more than anyone else could. The fact that she had told Jasmine about the strange person in her head right before she left, had definitely turned into the nightmares but eventually, she had learned that Jasmine had gone to America in the spring break and just had not come back. But with their apprenticeships going on Rowan had no time to actually contact Jasmine and ask how she was doing or to say that it was good that she was back. She did not avoid her but now that Rowan moved to class 3-B instead of staying in the A classes. So that meant that she would see Jasmine less and maybe she did not want to see her? Rowan wasn't entirely sure, she did not think of Jasmine as someone that would hate her but she might have gone through a lot and not wanted to wait up for someone that finds herself pathetic. But now was different, she was going to look forward to things, changing her own life and the impact she had on her own journey. Meaning that she now with the control of her quirk, no longer fearing it, she was looking for becoming better. She wanted to make sure that Jasmine was fine and finally tried to text her on the number she had before, here is hoping that Jaz still had that phone. She felt really stupid about texting Jaz because who knew what happened but it was time to take matters into her own hands and show that she could still be friends with Jaz if the other girl wanted to. Hey, I am sorry I didn't text earlier but want to meet up? I am training at ground alpha, could still use some tips :p x Rowan Now she sat there in her hero outfit because that was the best for her training. She just was working on her warming up before fixing her hero outfit with the new boots, the straps of the marbles and bouncing balls onto her belt and to fix the tennis ball cannon on both her arms. She took a deep breath to focus on what she wanted to do. She would just start her own training, trying to see if she could do this better, focusing her fire on her feet and not only on her hands, this was going to be her training and she would just try to make the movements that she learned in her martial art training with Wildheart and Shockwave. This was going to take all her time to focus on everything but she should not forget to have fun... her focus was too much on becoming good enough, not seeing if she was at a point already and she was just tired, she might make stupid mistakes. |

When Jasmine had seen her phone light up with a text message, she'd been a little surprised that someone would text her and curious as to who would. Yumi rarely texted -- more usually called if she wanted to talk. Same with Mia... that or the massive woman would just show up at her door now that she was a teacher and usually close by. Jaeger's texts? Yeah, that was as rare as a rocking horse crap. Misako would occasionally text her -- that had actually gotten quite common by now -- but at this particular point the wolf was pretty sure the freshman girl had some kind of test in class. There really wasn't anybody else who'd bother texting her, honestly. She had the U.A. chat muted altogether unless someone had tagged her specifically.
You can probably imagine the surprise on Jasmine's face when she saw Rowan Sakamoto up in the sender's name space.
At her desk in her room, Jasmine had been taking notes on relativistic mechanics when her phone had buzzed. She stared at the screen of her phone with a quirked brow, unable to stop herself from wondering how long it'd been since she and Rowan spoke. A frown quickly formed on her facial features as a thought sad enough to make her feel guilty crossed her mind.
She left at the worst possible time, didn't she?
Worse yet, she'd been so absorbed in her own issues she never bothered to check up on her.
"I'm such an awful person..." she thought to herself dejectedly as her head hung. The device in her hand slipped through her fingers and helplessly fell back onto her desk with a few loud thuds. A borderline morbid sigh left the wolf as she leaned back in her chair and stared at the ceiling, eyes somewhat hollow. Many thoughts ran through the wolf's mind then as she stay still, none of which pleasant.
Yet she very quickly forced herself out of her stupor, adamantly refusing whatever demons were trying to claw their way back out. She'd grabbed her phone again and quickly punched in a reply. A little nervous, but not at all unsure of herself. She'd gotten changed into her training gear and left her room within minutes.
Having used the exact same route so many times already, it hadn't taken Jasmine long to reach ground alpha. She was dressed in her casual training clothes - worn sneakers, loose black sweatpants and a white tee. She was still fixing up the compression sleeve on her left arm as she stepped into the area, eyes making contact with Rowan in what felt like far too long.
Whatever negative emotions, be they guilt or worry, that might've shown themselves on the wolf's face were very quickly hidden away behind an impenetrable wall. Instead, Jasmine showed the most genuine of smiles she could muster -- a smile that was in no way shape or form fake as her happiness at seeing an old face was of the truest kind.
"Oh shit, why'd nobody tell me you turn into a hottie while I was gone?" She'd jab playfully, offering a quick wink. "Good to see you again, Rowan."

Jasmine would have the view of her freshly updated hero outfit, that's what she was going to train but she might work on her power as well, that's not exactly what she wanted to learn from Jasmine but it was a proper excuse to invite her in the training session and who knew maybe there was something she could learn still. She hoped her friend was doing fine, missing out for a year and all that, it couldn't be fun. She stood up, checked her balance and if her shoes were sitting correctly before jumping up and down a bit and so on, what a magnificent piece of work from Charlie. She was excited to try it out and well just look at the instructions, and figure out how to channel her power to her feet as mostly she only used it on her hands. It was something to consider.
When she heard a sound she turned around and put her hands on her hips, a coy statue and yet a smile on her face when Jasmine came nearby. Wow, she changed. She couldn't help but flush a little pink when she remembered their last meeting back here too and Jasmine's compliment did not help with it either. She brushed her long black hair aside, "Can I say the same?" What a year, right? She finally got rid of the bad after she dared to spill it to Jasmine and even if the conversation had been short, it had been one and it had dared her to open up. She had won that fight against her other self and look at her now, she was doing well, she would say. Her quirk was in her own control, she was no longer afraid, she actually dared to admit that she felt happy.
That happiness was just a smile on her face but she was glad to see her friend again, she was sure Jasmine had other things to do, that's how she always felt about herself but here she was. "I am glad you came back." Back here to U.A. or back to Japan because last she heard was that she had gone to America? She was also glad that she dared to text Jasmine, and that she showed up. She took a step aside, "Did you see this already? Fort Slog?" As that was new this year but also just a few small things changed and she wondered what to say, did she make this too awkward?

"Obviously," Jasmine replied with a quiet snicker, walking up to offer Rowan a warm embrace. The wolf wrapped her arms around the other girl and held her tight, genuinely having missed her. "Yeah, it's... good to be back," she then said, ending the hug. "Still getting used to a lot of things and honestly it's good to see another old face. The people I used to talk to are so few and far in between, y'know?"
Blinking, Jasmine glanced at the aforementioned 'Fort Slog' that Rowan had pointed out. The wolf snickered, "Oh yeah, I'm doing pretty alright. Getting back into the groove of classes. Training. All this hero stuff with apprenticeships and all that, y'know? How about you, though? How are you, Rowan?" Jasmine teased with some minor amusement, gently nudging the brunette in the elbow. "Geez, it's always training with you first, huh?" The smile was still on her face.
Eyes darting towards the structure Rowan mentioned, the girl shook her head. "Heard lots about it. Haven't actually gone into it yet. Heard it's quite the trip." Jasmine turned to Rowan, "Heard it's meant to be like a race of some sort with different levels?" A sly grin suddenly appeared. "Oh? You want to get down and dirty right from the start, eh? Kinky," she teased again.
Oh man she forgot how amusing it was to tease her. And how cute she'd get as a result.

She was actually a stranger to saying these words out loud and it was probably not the best thing to do but god it felt good to hug Jasmine. Jasmine had always meant a lot to her and though she had always looked up to Jasmine as someone much better than her, she dared to admit she wasn't doing bad now either. She wanted to show that to her friend and she was glad to hear that she was glad to be back. "I know." Strange how much she missed someone who disappeared a year ago and was still standing in front of her. She had maybe put herself away from others too and mostly hang out with just Miku and now thus Sean but it was good to meet up with others.
She would point out the training session she might think about and looked at Jasmine with a smirk on her face. "I am very well," she could not help but smile, "I am just a very unoriginal person when it comes to deciding what to do." She was always training, always working whether it was homework from here or her economy classes that she was following outside school and she was actually happy that her face didn't instantly turn red again when Jasmine teased her. But that changed very quickly when Jasmine only teased her more and said that she was to get down and dirty and called her kinky. Yeaaa, her ears were turning red already. "I-I mean..." She said embarrassed, "It-it's really interesting to-to do." And just ehm as it was new and she couldn't even continue further with her talk as she just lost the words to say something like that and just blundered on trying to explain before shutting up and looking at it with a red face. This was always how it happened when she talked to Jasmine.

The incredibly sly smile which crept up Jasmine's face was honestly impossible to miss as she watched Rowan. Just like the wolf had thought the other explosive lass immediately got flustered, as red in the face as she'd ever seen her get. An amused rumble of a chuckle left her throat as she, with her hands behind her own back, approached Rowan, seeming casual yet having the worst (or best, depending on your point of view) intentions on her mind.
Jasmine leaned close to Rowan's ear, barely able to contain her grin into a smirk, "Oh yeah, getting down and dirty is pretty interesting, can't argue with you there," she cooed out a soothing and enticing whisper, making sure to blow a gentle gust of air right into the brunette's ear.
The wolf counted herself lucky she wasn't as easily embarrassed, either by the things she herself said or the things she'd heard said to her. Then again, nobody really tried to flirt with her as openly as Jasmine herself did. She was actually kind of curious how she'd respond if someone did in fact try it. But that was a thought to consider for another day, she figured.
Being a massive tease was kind of Jasmine's MO, and it was most apparent when she hung out with Rowan. Even before she left Japan Jasmine had often cracked jokes of similar nature towards the girl. Then again it didn't seem like Rowan minded one bit. Hell if Jasmine ventured a guess she even liked it! Ah the perks of being cute as all hell.
A laugh escaped the wolf when she finally felt like she couldn't keep her composure up anymore. She slung an arm around Rowan's shoulder, turning to her with a wide grin on her face, "Sorry, sorry! I couldn't help myself!" she explained between her little fit of giggles.
"So," she said finally, her amusement slowly fading. The smile on her face was ever present. This one, though, was more of confidence as she looked over towards Fort Slog. The type of smile which looked forward to face a challenge with the glint in her eyes to boot. "What say you we team up and blow this entire thing to kingdom goddamn come, huh?" Jasmine turned back to her. "We'll get to see how much both of us have improved and work on our teamwork as walking nukes at the same time!"

Her face couldn't be redder, she was so flustered and she knew Jasmine knew. This always seemed to be happening between them and she just looked at how casual the silver-haired girl looked and she couldn't stand it. How could she ever try to be imposing, to be interesting when she just immediately turned red like a strawberry and started stammering? It was not fair in the slightest, it was just the most unfair thing possible. She swallowed, she had said it but look at that smirk. Jasmine was in everything obviously still better than Rowan, she was not sure what this meant, it gave her the shivers, it wasn't bad shivers it was just she did not know if the teasing was just that... teasing. She had Sean and Jasmine... never showed an interest like that in her, she was making things up... hallo, her friend just came back what were these things in her mind. Ridiculous.
She felt her body become a little more rigid, and her face a little closed off though it was obvious that she was red in the face and she was sure Jasmine knew all about it already like this wasn't the first time. Right before she left for wherever Jasmine went to, they had a moment like this too, training and talking and Rowan had told her about Lady and she had flirted with her as well and... it wasn't flirting, she was sure of that. She actually wasn't sure what she ever thought of that? It just happened and she did not tell Jasmine to stop, but did she want that? Huh, she was confusing to herself again and she would just swallow it and stop. She hid her face in her hands but laughed a little when she heard Jaz laugh and she peaked through her fingers. "You do that all the time." But she lowered her hands and smiled at Jasmine, for some reason she wanted to ask why but she did not. She was already confused enough about it, let's not make a drama out of something.
She followed her fellow student's eyes towards Fort Slog. "I thought you would never ask." her smile from before turned in a little grin. "I can only imagine that Aquitaine-sensei wants us to make sure it remains standing." But then again they must have build it really well right? It would be fun so she would wait for Jasmine to move, as she was still having her arm around her shoulder and she wasn't going to push her friend away, it might look bad and she did not want that. She would however eventually walk to Fort Slog to try it out.

"That I do! It's actually kind of surprising you haven't gotten used to it in three years," Jasmine supplied through a wink, though she didn't pursue the flirty train of thought any further. While, yes, flirting with Rowan was indeed fun -- partly because the brunette was as gorgeous as a goddamn work of art, and partly because she was far too adorable when she was embarrassed - but if she didn't stop it'd take them the whole day to even get inside the training field. Not that she was entirely opposed to that idea. But anyway. "Oh come on! They want to see us complete the thing, right? And they keep hyping it up as though we can't? Well, if we can actually destroy it then we prove all those threads are full of shit, eh? Means they'll have to build a new, better one. Eh? Eh? Eh?" The wolf teased, chuckling to herself... yet it was clear that Jasmine was in no way shape or form joking. If the rather childishly sinister tone in her voice told anybody anything, that is.
First Floor: - The first floor has been turned into a simulation of a large shopping center with several stores inside. Doors open and shut automatically and drones simulate attacks by thug-level quirked 'villains'. There are four civilians in the area and the drones are capable of taking them hostage. The area has two floors and a large open central area.
"So," Jasmine began as she stood near the entrance. A smile had come about her face as she urged Rowan forward, "ladies first!" |

Yea surprisingly Rowan got used to not much even in three years, huh surprising it had been three years already. "Apparently I don't adapt that quickly." She tried to say it in a teasing matter instead of worrying too much if that was a good or a bad thing or if she was overthinking it and it was only that she did not adapt to Jasmine's teasing... it was nothing more than that right? Else she would now have to stand up for herself and tell Jasmine that she had a boyfriend... right. It would be fine, she shouldn't do something stupid and offend Jasmine, who she liked a lot, so it would be dumb to make of this small jokingly attitude, a very big deal... She nodded and finally would realise she was already overthinking and should try to get to Fort Slog, the idea that she invited Jasmine to it, meant she should step up and walk there too. She couldn't help but giggle a bit with Jasmine's teasing and enthusiasm, "Probably." She smirked and would go and look at the building.
She would just stand at the front, at least she did not have to carry a civilian around now like she had with her class, she wondered how Jasmine's class had gone. For two years they had ought to be in the same class but in her third year Rowan swapped to 3-B to be with Miku and well because classes shrank and such so it was okay. Strange how she dropped the class where she had been president for... anyway, it wasn't her class that much. She now had more people she hang out with in this class, wasn't that her goal though? Getting out of her shell, doing stuff, blabla. She looked up, again overthinking when Jasmine said ladies first and she eyed her, "What does that make you?" But she wouldn't complain, she liked a bit of hospitality, gentleman-vibes if you could still call it that and she would walk forward. It did not take long for the simulation to start, they had to find and potentially rescue the four civilians. "Looking for a needle in a haystack, joy." She answered the machine coolly but looked up, "Any strategies you like to try?" Because destroying buildings wouldn't help in this case, there might be a civilian in there. This was tiring but she would see, making a sound and have villains come to them, that might be a solution... if they were strong enough?
