Gavin leans against the wall of the control room, mingling with the other proctors with a glass of champagne held delicately between his fingers. His stoic expression is hard to read until Martín del Mar directs to him a question. Then, Gavin almost smiles.

With the glass of champagne, he indicates his favoured candidates. Kenjiro Yamada, who'd served with him in Kanto. oscar clayton, an ever-reliable Rocket Beast. priam conrad, who Gavin has seen overcome many a challenge in Rocket's name.

Others, he knows less well.

Cygne spent the evening before the exams having a full on freakout moment. She went from super excited to holding her pillow and shaking in the fetal position, nerves running rampant through her body like ants in her veins. She hadn’t slept a wink and woke up in the morning looking like it-- eyebags, mussed hair, splotchy skin. She’d only cried a little. [break][break]

There was a lot of pressure, okay. Pressure to make an impact. Pressure to prove she was worth being given a chance. But there was also the fact that this was her opportunity to really change her life-- maybe, if she made enough of an impression, she wouldn’t have to continue to do shit work and would actually get some sort of power. [break][break]

She’d had a little taste of it and found she’d spent her whole life starving. [break][break]

Luckily she’d stayed up all night because by the time she found herself standing there, in that ocean of neon blue and pressurized air, she was too strung out to have much emotion. She fiddled with the end of her fishtail braid, fraying it. [break][break]

Her heart almost physically leaped out of her chest when she saw a familiar head of spun gold. Trying to hide her desperation, she slid through the crowd of faces and came up to Elisabeth Fiorelli ’s side. “Oh, thank god you’re here,” she said, voice a wash of relief. “I’m so nervous I could puke. Sorry, oversharing.” She resisted the urge to grab onto the woman for dear life-- she was getting anxious again; her body began to move on adrenaline and she found herself returning priam conrad ’s finger-guns on instinct even though they weren’t meant for her. [break][break]

With Elisabeth nearby, she felt a bit more grounded-- enough so she could turn and look at the space around them without feeling dizzy. “I think this is probably what prison feels like,” she ventured. [break][break]

POWER.

Ultimately, that was Barnaby's goal.

It was why he proffered his skillset to Killian Decker , why he took on so many assignments despite his restrictive schedule.

ROCKET offered power in spades. But only to those who proved themselves worthy of the privilege.

As he approached the growing group, Barnaby spied Eris Halla in the shadows. He offered her a companionable wave, but nothing beyond that - she didn't seem too welcoming at the moment.

"Elisa? What a delight to see you here." An unexpected one, at that. But Elisabeth Fiorelli was quickly making a name for herself within the organization. Barnaby knew she was capable, although whatever this examination was would truly test her competency.

To everyone else he smiled and nodded in turn. Some of the faces looked familiar, but he hadn't had the pleasure of formally meeting them until now.

"I go by Bee. Nice to meet everyone. Good luck today." He said pleasantly, somehow carefree despite the circumstances. How could he worry if he didn't know what lied ahead?

He gave a small wave as he passed, but ultimately went to stand beside Felix Gallagher . "I'm excited to see you in action, mon beau. This should be interesting."

"Fancy seeing you here, fucker."

A smirk crawled on his lips as he entered the floor, one of his eyebrows cocked as he approached CIAN MAHER. Of course he'd be here. He wouldn't expect anything else from Cian.

Elliott had heard of the activities they were having in the training facilities, and he figured he'd participate. Little bird was chirping that bryan delarosa was a Beast now.

Well, his goal was getting harder to attain. If he wanted to keep up, he'd have to participate in things like this. Eli wondered if the new Beast would be joining them today. He didn't see him in the arena, though. And the lights above seemed almost too bright to look up and see who was on the upper levels watching down on them.

"You ready for a shit show?" he asked, looking back at his best friend.

Remiel Calcifet, Martín del Mar, and 2 more like this

A thimble of gold, a reckless hound, a man at death's gates, and an oversharing blonde. Rocket never failed with their recruitment of the wildest breed. Taking a deep breath, his gaze momentarily lifted up towards the observation deck, narrowing at it's army of blinding lights.

There were presumably a handful of higherups stationed up there, commenting on the 'fresh meat' below. In the past, Felix held a similar position over his own colleagues, so he was well aware of possible brewing conversations. Bets, gossip, commentary -- the same topics that used to alienate him in ANVIL. But, if Martín del Mar was there, there was no telling the extent of their discussions.

Lost in thought, Felix hadn't even noticed a familiar face take his place beside him. It wasn't until he spoke that a ball of fire swallowed his stomach, slow cooking his intestines in waves of heat. "Is that so," He coughed out, eyes moving from the observation deck to the popular Elisabeth Fiorelli . What surprises did that woman hold? "I'll do my best then."

[attr="class","tctext"] "Elisa," the blonde introduced herself to priam conrad with the faintest smile, nodding her head. Moments later a familiar young woman appeared at her side, breathless with nerves or excitement--it was difficult to tell which.[break][break]
"Cyg?" Elisabeth said, startled despite herself. A blatantly maternal concern spilled out in her words, which she immediately suppressed with a hasty, "Of course you would be here. It is a wonderful surprise to see you." Although, in some ways, it wasn't. Elisabeth desperately wanted to drop the girl on her Tropius and fly Cygne out immediately to somewhere safer.[break][break]
A silly, childish notion, that. Nothing was safe once you joined Rocket, was it?[break][break]
And who better to know that than BARNABY FINCH, who called her name brightly as he drew close. The Kalosian appeared to have many professional contacts in this small gathering, carrying himself with an ease of posture that spoke of quiet confidence. That he was here did not surprise, nor concern, her. Elisabeth had seen what he was capable of, firsthand.[break][break]
"Good to see you as well, Bee," the noblewoman said in response, her gentle voice almost fond. "I suppose these trials are meant to shape us into formidable members of Rocket, hm?" She gestured to Cygne at her side, saying, "I am not certain if you have met dear Cyg. She proved invaluable in a recent mission of mine." It couldn't hurt to have too many allies early on.[break][break]
It was then she caught Felix Gallagher's gaze on her. She raised a single eyebrow in return, although she said nothing. The dark-haired stranger seemed the sort of man one would expect to be capable in an event like this one. His expression betrayed nothing of what he thought of her, but Elisabeth suspected it wasn't much. Not that it mattered, either way.

He gives a small cheer to Theo when he hands the beast a glass. He swirls the whiskey around a bit as Theo speaks, his strange new eyes staring back at him in the amber gold liquid. [break][break]

His strange behavior was broken by Theo's question and brought him back to the present as he answered him "Ah, yeah. Normally I'd leap at the chance to fight but, recent events make me think it may not be the best idea at the moment." he says as his mind tried to veer away from the recent unpleasant events in his life. "Why are you here? come to see people get their assess kicked?" he pondered aloud [break][break]

He continued to stare at oscar, even taking a sip of the his drink until a familiar blue haired man stepped into the room almost causing Bryan to spit his drink onto the glass. However he'd never waste such a precious resourced and swallowed it hap hazardly. Why would he showed up given the recent concern he was showing Bryan the other night when he asked him that question.

What could he be doing here? Why did he want to join spectra? "Aye priam.." he said muttering under his breath and pinching the bridge of his nose, regardless he'd cheer internally for his lover to do well.[break][break]

Oh, Elliott Jenkins was here too? Was he deseperate to rise above his station? This was looking promising to Bryan, much more than he previously thought.

"So barbaric."

Summer sighed at the mere thought as she entered the observation deck, going to the bar to order her a drink. Meanwhile, she uttered to herself how this was all too much, too ridiculous. But it was Rocket after all.

Why was she here?

Perhaps she needed to make a show of herself on occasion, and this one was as good as any. Her father had taught her that it was never good to disappear from an organization, and Rocket was a terrible one to just disappear from. She'd come to the submarine here and there to ensure them she was still alive and willing to work with them.

However, Summer Prescott would refuse to participate. She could handle herself in a fight, but she refused to fight for the pleasure of others.

With her drink in hand, she came to sit in a seat, looking over the balcony to the ground below. People were already gathered there. However, a dark head caught her attention.

BARNABY FINCH.

seeing the finger guns from ana fell gives her an iconic response from priam. "ayy!" he shouts , firing them back at her.

"well, you better be nervous if this is a competition since i'm here!" he tells ana fell, overhearing the exchange between her and Elisabeth Fiorelli right in front of him. he laughs, then smiles. "unless this is, like, some sort of team building exercise! that would've been so cool though. much better than a battle royale!"

he can't make friends if it was a battle royale. he didn't need them since his sheer power alone constitutes an entire squadron already, but they would be nice to have.

for a moment, a glimpse of BARNABY FINCH makes it seem like he's met him before. his stay with the crowd was brief, but the introduction already imprinted an impression on priam.

"bee's a cute name! is he, like, on the honey business or something?" he asks Elisabeth Fiorelli, who was an obvious acquaintance of the subject. "also, wow you are popular!"

priam turns to ana fell for a follow up question. "is she, like, super rich? only super rich people on rocket are this popular, y'know?"

God, Cyg was sweating. Had she remembered to put deodorant on? Was it the deodorant-antiperspirant combo? She didn’t have any room to do the stretch and sniff test. Fuck, she was wearing a silk blouse. Fake silk, but still. “God, we’re packed in here like sardines, huh,” she mused, somehow keeping the shake out of her voice. [break][break]

She’s jerked out of her scent-concerned stupor by Priam’s question. “No, she’s just really nice,” Cyg says, a little defensively, eyes flashing from Priam to Elisabeth and hoping she hadn’t crossed a line. “Also she’s super good at baking,” she adds, as an afterthought. “And probably lots of other things.” [break][break]

She watched BARNABY FINCH pass and take his place next to Felix Gallagher. “Hey, I know that prick,” Cyg said, slightly affectionate, pointing. For some reason, the sight of Felix made her relax a bit. Maybe this wasn’t going to be so bad after all.

As Gavin indicates his favourite candidates, Mars gives an approving nod. Kenjiro Yamada is not someone he recognizes, but he trusts the underboss’ judgement when it comes to things like these. oscar clayton and priam conrad, on the other hand? Admittedly, the two of them also make it to the top of his list. Except that, well…
[break][break]
”Is it just me, or Clayton’s not looking too great?” Not like Mars can blame him, especially not after everything they went through together beneath the church ruins in Ever Grande, but success is the name of the game. ”Aside from the beasts, it’d probably be priam conrad for me. He’s one of the most useful members I’ve met.”
[break][break]
High praise, that’s for sure.
[break][break]
His attention turns to the rest of the gathering examinees then, amber hues wandering over familiar faces while a lopsided smile reaches his lips. ”There’s a few promising newer ones, though.” When saying this, he gestures towards the likes of Felix Gallagher, ana fell, BARNABY FINCH, and even Elisabeth Fiorelli, an eyebrow being raised when turning to look at Cillian Quinn once again. ”I’ve never seen some of them in a combat situation before, it should be interesting.”
[break][break]
That much is for sure.

"Hey, I know that prick."

A humorous smiled tugged at Barnaby's lips. He appreciated Cygne's dry bluntness; it was a welcome humor considering the trials to come.

Glancing at the taller man beside him, Barnaby couldn't help but encourage the interaction. "It seems you've already made friends, Felix. Why don't we go over and join them?"

A suggestion that he hoped the ANVIL general would oblige; regardless, Barnaby was returning to the group anyway. Elisabeth Fiorelli had made introductions, after all, and it would be rude not to respond.

"High praise, Elisabeth." Barnaby's cobalt eyes shifted from one blonde to the next. "I look forward to seeing your skills firsthand, Cyg." He curtailed his statement with a gentle smile.

A glance was thrown Priam's way and the smile persisted, even though he had hoped to keep contact with the man to a minimum. He had recently met BARNABY FINCH, HNN journalist, and Bee preferred to keep his public and criminal lives separate when possible.

"Not a honey business, no." He responded, chuckling. "Although that would compliment Ms. Fiorelli's interests quite well. Maybe in the future, Elisa? It would give us more reason to see one another."

Obviously not a serious request, but a way to teasingly make his intentions known.

"Hey, I know that prick."

The feminine voice broke through the space between them, beckoning both Felix's attention and gaze. Who was she again? Hazy memories flocked his brain, and yet, nothing of merit came out of it. He must've run into her while on a mission or something, he had thought.

Barnaby's suggestion was far from surprising-- it wouldn't be like him to ignore the calls of interaction. With a nod of agreeance, Felix kept to the man's side, following him towards the crowd of chattering rockets. "Hello." He greeted the group, offering priam conrad , ana fell , and Elisabeth Fiorelli all a nod of acknowledgment. Typically, now would be an excellent opportunity to probe the participants a little and see who his interest should stick to the most, but... that required a skill Felix didn't have: socializing.

Since Cygne was the first to be praised, his eyes instinctively rested on her the most, taking some time to examine her scrawny physique. Would she be okay participating in this? "Where have we met?" The question came with the intention of generating some conversational flow, however, from another's perspective it could sound dismissive.

Cyg would have to thank Elisa later for painting a giant target on her back, god damn it. Stealing a page out of priam conrad ’s book, she flashed the finger guns at BARNABY FINCH . “Just as long as you don’t ask me to bake,” she said, winking. [break][break]

She felt Felix’s eyes look her up and down like a white suburban mom selecting a package of boneless skinless chicken breasts at the supermarket: judgmentally and lacking taste.[break][break]

Of course he wasn’t going to remember her. It was a relief-- it was the only attainable expectation she’d run into since stepping foot in this fluorescent blue mausoleum. “Yeah, actually, funny story,” she said, smiling, “we were on a deserted island together. Fun times, with the storm and the sunburn-- or, well, maybe that was just me.” [break][break]

She didn't so much care that he didn't remember her-- or, at the very least, was acting like it. That was what made the exam weigh so heavily on her: this was her chance to make her name. This was her chance to prove she was worth remembering.[break][break]

Her eyes drifted up towards the huge windows and wondered who was up there, judging them. [break][break]

Fuck, Mars was probably one of them, huh?

Oscar whipped his head around like a hawk noticing its dinner, as he heard a familiar voice from a certain would-be robot caretaker. His eyes locked onto a small group forming in the middle of the participants, particularly on priam conrad mingling among them. Well now it all makes sense. Oscar narrowed his eyes, limping with purpose toward the group. Genesect followed along, and it was only then that Oscar realized how quiet it moved despite being a rather heavy piece of machinery. No wonder he never noticed it following him in.

As Oscar came close he called out to Priam, "Yo, Priam!" His voice was already hoarse, when it was raised it sounded more like a frog croaking. He gently put his hand on Priam's shoulder, revealing that he was actually rather glad to see him making an appearance. "Glad you showed up down here and not up there." Oscar motioned toward the observation area. "Hey do you have Genesect's pokeball? I might need it later."

Priam was probably the only human besides Oscar that Genesect could tolerate for long periods of time. As its eyes rested on the young trainer, it felt obligated to greet him to show familiarity and good intentions. How did humans greet each other? Oh right. Genesect raised both of its blades and waved them back and forth. Noticing this, Oscar narrowed his eyes before putting one of Genesect's arms down. The other arm continued to wave indefinitely.
