After a short amount of silence, Albria burst into laughter. "Haha! I think the only joke here is you, Mitzy!" Though her secret had been revealed, she was going to have fun with this. "You go around and deduce everything, when I can just know the right answer! Like yesterday, that case you were working on? If you hadn't been distracted by the clothing fibers you found at the scene, you would have discovered the answer an hour ahead of time! Isn't that right, detective? And I'd never have to deal with a false witness, even if their memory was erased! Can't get information like that from a twitch on someone's face."
She flipped her hair to the side, punctuating that she won the argument. "And really, calling people "whore" on the first day? Please, bitch." She took control of Mitzy's hat, and flung it off in the distance. There won't be haters here.

When her hat was suddenly swiped from her head, Mitzy felt her blood boil. But she couldn't leave the conversation just to get it back- not yet. First she needed to take a moment to laugh as the way Albria tried to 'deduce' her. The poor 'psychic' got her details wrong.
"There's no fun in knowing the answer instantly- the joy comes from finding it! The fact that I take my time only proves my intelligence is real. I don't have to rely on your 'outside forces.' People like you are pathetic, entirely dependent on your 'abilities' that were 'given' to you, instead of ones you had to develop. And the clothing fibers I found were essential in not just finding the pimp. They came from a young girl that he kidnapped and it helped lead to her location. So while it disappointed me that I took longer to come to a conclusion to my real case, I was at least able to solve a case on the side. Don't just go making accusation without digging deeper than what you see on the surface. I've met plenty of 'psychics' and all of them were phonies or pathetic ass-wipes. And you're no better, it seems. Now, if you excuse me- I must retrieve my hat. And for future reference,"
Mitzy suddenly punched Albria in the gut, hard. "Never touch my hat. Ever. I have no interest in any of you liking me or even remotely tolerating me. I'm here to prove that I am the Best Detective, nothing more." With a final glare from her ice-cold eyes, Mitzy walked to grab her hat from, checking it for any damage and wiping off dirt before putting it back on. She was thankful the flower on it wasn't damaged.

"Bree has a point, slag. If you're so worried about your precious reputation, you'd best stay out of our way or we'll cock up something so much that you'll never be able to tell your arse from your elbow! And if you ever so much as think about calling me a whore again, I'll give you twice as much as you gave to poor Bree, you bloody tosser!" She shouted at the retreating Detective. She then turned to Albria, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Are you alright, luv?"

Grand, so we've got ourselves a twist. Not a very underhanded one, at least. Best detective, eh? Did this place truly have some mystery which needed solving? Interesting indeed.
"For someone who's supposed to be smart, I'd have figured you'd not want everyone against you on the first day," James said with a frown. More due to the onset of violence, he didn't care that she called him annoying. Hmm. If she always made first impressions like this, how did she ever get anyone to give her information?

"Plenty fine," Albria responded somewhat strained, both her hands on her knees after the blow. "I've been called phony more than enough times by now, but obviously we operate under different meanings of intelligence."
She replied to JJ's comment with an emphatic, "Mmmhmm!" and was able to straighten herself out again, mostly out of sheer willpower and balancing herself a bit on Alice. "I guess poor Mabbina just wants to be all by her lonesome." This time, she would actually put up a force field to deflect the punch should Mitzy try to be violent again.

Cera watched the entire encounter, only slightly concerned."She does have a point though, we are not here to be friends, we are here to be the best at our respective fields. Sayonara." She bowed and then walked off back to her room, she needed to practice anyway.

No one is the best on their own. Everyone here had some kind of support to get where they did. Even me!
"Well if you want to be alone, I don't think you'll have much trouble in this place. What do you think's all in there anyway? Doubt it's just a bunch of empty rooms."

"Here Bree, stand up a little straighter if you can. It'll help. You can put a bit more weight on me too." Alice hooked an arm around the Psychic's waist, then picked up one of the girl's arms and wrapped it around her shoulders. She waved at Cera as she walked off, then looked over her shoulder at JJ.
"I dunno, Adventure Boy. It's probably a whole facility of special rooms for the student's individual talents, innit? I'm surprised you haven't taken off to explore it yet." She looked around and grinned. "Hell, I'd love to check the place out myself if I could get a chance."

"Well the day's just begun," James responded with a shrug, "Aaaand I think we'll have plenty of time what with a semester to ourselves!" James broke into a grin.
Wonder if using 'we' was a bit obvious? Well, someone's being shanghaied into being my partner, and she seems willing! Rooms based on talents, eh? I wonder...

Alice shrugged, scratching the back of her head with her free hand.
"I'm not quite sure about that, honestly. I don't know about you, but I have practice within the next couple of hours, and I don't know how things are going to be with classes. Besides, if there's any fun little places to hide out, I want to be the first to find them!" She looked over at him and flashed him a slightly-flirtatious smile.
"Bet you'd like that too, right?"

"Oh, naturally!" James replied, returning the grin. "Maybe I'll even find a place to set up a hidden base! ...and blast it all, I just realized I forgot to bring my kettle."
Hmm. Practice? Well of course, she's an athlete. Classes? The 'principal' said there was no staff. Would there be classes? Or perhaps simply 'tests' of our ability? What was the point? A game perhaps? This asks some looking into!
"So what sort of practice does an Olympic athlete like yourself get up to?"

"Kettle? Oh I have one you can borrow! I always love to make a nice cuppa after practice." She smiled, fluffing her hair once again.
"As for practice, even though the Olympics just finished I need to stay at the top of my form for World Championships and such. And I neglected Volleyball and Tennis in lieu of focusing on Swim for the Olympics, so I need to get back on that too. So, I'll probably be running around for a few hours going from court to court, then heading to the pool for another few hours. It's not as bad as it sounds."

Daaaang.
"And that's every day? Wow."
Wait. Swimming sure, but tennis and volleyball?
"So how were you planning on practicing your other sports without a partner?"

Alice shrugged.
"Well, I assumed there would be instructors and coaches here. Now however, I'm not really sure. I guess I'll probably wall-ball for a while."

Glad to see that the detective decided to back off, Albria turned her attention to the conversation with JJ and Alice, hurting her stomach a little as she giggled. "I could always throw some balls at you with telekinesis. It might even help with the unpredictability." She thought about it, and though she mainly meditated to sharpen her mind's eye, she couldn't really say she practiced her psychic ability on a regular basis. It was mostly through direct, everyday use. "Otherwise, I just need a really good night's sleep and a really quiet room. It's an odd thing to go to an academy for, but it couldn't hurt, right?"
