Is This A Date?

Vatar was all packed and done with his final class for the day. It was just a foreign language class so his brain wasn't too rattled to focus on the upcoming events. He had heard from his friend about an app for people to practice with other students on campus. Wierd didn't fully describe how he felt. Not only did it ask a bunch of questions he had to put a picture of himself.

He hated pictures.

Granted it made sense considering the two individuals would be working together, but still.....ew. He wasted no time in getting to the gymnasium where he and a "Matt" were supposed to meet up. Thanks to the app he knew what kind of trouble he was getting into. Pyrokenises was how it was described. To him, that just meant a lot of fire and a lot of chances for him to lose his hair. Of course, his powers were listed also, though in comparison they seemed far more lackluster and showy. Making a soul wouldn't help him and he was sure giving the poor guy a disease was not agreed upon anywhere in the terms of service.

The name of the app was called "Atom". Why? He had no clue in the slightest the person who told him about the app was apparently friends with the creator and even he didn't know where it had popped up from. Whatever the reason it was slowly growing more popular among students of all ages. Just last week he remembered seeing a college girl from his old class teaching a junior in high school on how to control their telepathy and the two met on Atom. Students helping Students seemed like a great idea and plus it was as easy as swiping left or right.

Vatar wasn't lost on the simplicity it shared with things like Tinder. Part of him questions if this was like a date. His partner in the gym seemed to think so as he teased him all week about the upcoming meeting.

Entering the large and empty gymnasium he dropped his bag to the side and pulled out his phone to let his wife know he would be coming in late. With a drawn-out slide down the wall, he sat on it waiting for Matt to show up.

"I should probably tie my hair up...." he spoke to himself.

"Wierd is a good way of putting it. Not every day you can pick a fight through a simple app. I'm used to my sister barking about the old arena and all her fights there."

He would stand up and examine the man a bit. Mat was a bit on the shorter end but then again Vatar was unnaturally tall when compared to most humans. He had gotten used to being the smallest person in the room on some days and the tallest on the next. This island was far too diverse to really ping someone as tall or short.

"Anyway's nice to meet you." He'd offer a handshake. "What made you join the app? Curiosity seems to be what I see most on the reviews."

He'd actually tie back his hair this time into a long tail and let it go down to his upper back. He was already in his gym clothes and had his casual wear tucked away in the gym bag against the wall. The only thing standing out as weird would be his half a heart necklace which he tossed to the side also.

"Well, it's sorta what it is at face value. I have control over my powers but they aren't that offensive as is." He would start to walk toward the middle of the gymnasium "My plans after College is to become an officer of the MCPD and I'd like my powers to be viable in a combat situation."

Angelo had made it pretty clear that taking souls from people wouldn't be the best power to use on the force, and he didn't need anyone to tell him that giving viruses was an easy no go as well. The best thing he could try to do was find better uses for them at a base value.

"Applying some the basics of my powers into new things is the goal." Vatar would strangely laugh a bit. He remembered he had a bunch of coated knives in his bag and should've probably left those home. "But don't worry. I don't plan on giving you some disease. Strictly spiritual today my plan is to use Aether and Nether in a more volatile way."

Vatar was ready to go on a long rant about the ends and out of Aether and Nether like he usually did but realized now probably wasn't the time to bore a random stranger. The topic wasn't as finely appreciated as he liked but he still felt the need every time it came up to talk about it.

"See souls, speak to souls pretty annoying when surrounded by a mass of them but for the most part, I enjoy the ethereal company. It may not be that useful in its own right but I make use of it in other ways. Souls can be pretty easy to manipulate if you sweet talk them."

He tried to recall what he had done with that soul from the hospital while ago but the location didn't pop up.Were it not for here would have been both bored and annoyed that whole time.

Matt's power reminded him of Noli who was also there that time he was sick. He always wondered how easy his Russian class would be had he the power to do what she could. He would definitely be able to spend less time studying.

"Well." Vatar yawned a bit.The day was still catching up with him and despite his best efforts, he was still getting less than the amount of sleep he should've. "I'm not much of a three, two, one guy so...."

Vatar would rush to close the distance between them preparing his right knee to make contact with Matts stomach

@Saber

Vatar smirked at the reckless strike coming back toward him. He was blocking on a parallel side which would make his next transition far easier than if they had crossed like most chose to do. Feeling his knee come into contact with Matts' hand he wouldn't waste time struggling and would quickly plant his feet back into the gym floor. This was a move he was far too accustomed to as his master was fond of it during his earlier days.

"Never waste energy or you'll look like an ass" was her exact words afterward.

With his right leg back into the ground, he would pivot away from the punch and use his free hands to grab Matts lower right arm and same underarm to use the momentum of Matts punch against him. If all went as the plan he would be able to find Matt over his shoulder and crush the man to the ground.
