exsilium | [Video]

[Looking annoyed and more than a little irritated, Claire’s pacing in her room with her communicator, the video focused on her face from a lower angle.] Usually when you’re drafted to fight a war, it’s at least in the right century.

Look. I need to get back home. I know that everyone's probably saying the same thing. But the entire world was about to change, and I'm needed there. You can't just take people against their will like this. I don't care about your war, I need to be fighting my own.

[A sigh. She lifts the camera for a clearer view of her face.] In the meantime, I guess I should say.. My name is Claire Bennet. And I guess while I'm here I could use a little training.

[Action, Open!]

[Claire's standing near a bench in the courtyard, fearlessly twirling her Kamas in her hands. It's a good thing she did all of that baton twirling in Cheerleading camp that one summer, otherwise it would have taken her a lot longer to figure it out. She still can't quite figure out what sort of technique she's supposed to use with these things. The sharp and pointy part she gets, but the fighting discipline is is way over her head.

Wearing new clothes and being much cleaner and well put-together than she was when she first arrived, the expression on her face suggests that she's either bored or deep in thought.

She wonders if there's a way to send a message back through time to Hiro, or to her dad, or Peter. Then she'd be able to get out of here, get back where she belongs. Though.. A part of her is a little relieved she doesn't have to see that heartbroken look on her dad's face right now. She's not really looking forward to having to explain her actions to everyone.

Maybe the temporary kidnapped state will be a good thing.]

[She fumbles a little with the kama in her left hand, her weaker hand, and it nearly slices her arm again, but she manages to stop it. One thing about her ability is that she doesn't exactly need to be careful, so she's a little out of practice with.. well, being careful.

Claire looks up at him with a twitch of a smile in greeting. She sighs a little.] They gave them to me. Or, I guess I chose them. Kind of having trouble telling the difference.

[She eyes his guitar curiously.] What about you?

Clementine here has been with me since I learned how to drive. When I came to the Age of Metal, she became more than just a guitar. Allow me to demonstrate.

[Eddie takes a quick glance around, making sure there aren't many people around, then sets his hand in position and starts playing.]

Wouldn't wanna accidentally zap someone.

[And he begins laying out some sweet chords, and with every resounding strike of the strings, bolts of lightning seem to appear from nowhere and strike the ground where Eddie wills them to. As he plays, his guitar begins glowing a brighter and hotter red, almost molten color. Eddie ceases playing, and while the instrument seems to be radiating heat, it doesn't seem to bother the roadie all that much.]

She could do that and more before I came here, so I'm not sure what these Initiative guys did to change her yet.

[Actually.. She wasn't even expecting the guitar out of all things to be a weapon. It just looked cool. Eddie gets a mild version of a wtf look when he starts.

Then she's just kind of stunned.

The sudden lightning makes her take a step back, cautious. But then.. Then she starts to smile when she sees how in control he is, and before long she's laughing. That was probably the most insane thing she's ever seen and it's amazing.

Claire takes a few steps forward, eyeing the guitar with wonder, a smile still on her lips.] Oh my god, how did you do that?

[He's still grinning like an idiot. Okay, so he's not very fond of taking the spotlight, but that doesn't mean he's against showing off now and again. Clementine is still cooling down, and the heat seems to fade as the instrument returns to its natural color.]

Just by being awesome, that's how. There's a lot more where that came from.

[She's still amazed. Speechless, almost, really.]

That was incredible. Really.

I'm- [She puts one of her kamas into the other hand, so her hand's free. Claire moves to shake his.] I'm Claire.
