Date: Saturday (today), ~1pm
Rating: PG or so
Summary: Marui wants to try a couple of experiments with his powers on Ryoma.

Uh, if/when Niou is home Saturday afternoon after Ryoma gets back, expect him to get pounced. ^^;

Ryoma: ::heads over to the Danger Room a little after one, realizing Marui's already there but not feeling a lot like hurrying, it's the weekend. He lets himself in and glances around, spotting the other waiting not too far from the door and nodding a greeting.:: Hey there.

Marui: *pops his gum* You're late Slick. Was beginning to wonder if you slipped into a coma last night on me or something. *pops his gum again, already has the room filled with pheromones that cause anxiousness.*

Ryoma: ::rolls his eyes, feeling a bit agitated for no good reason:: S'not a usual occurrence. ::he sighs and crosses his arms over his chest.:: S'the weekend, felt like sleeping in. Didn't mean t'keep you waiting.

Marui: *pops his gum, raising an eyebrow and smirking* Hmm...Niou didn't keep you up all night, did he?

Ryoma: ::though he's fidgety, he snickers a little, considering how Niou's usually relatively adamant about bedtimes:: Not last night. ::He shrugs, and cocks his head at the other:: So. You wanted t'try some stuff? ::Marui feels normal enough and synching shouldn't be a problem, but that doesn't mean it always goes smoothly:: You just got... pheromones or whatever, right? Nothin' too weird?

Marui: *smirks* Let's see how well you can handle them then. *pushes off the wall, stepping closer to Ryoma*

Ryoma: ::figures that's all the answer he's going to get and shrugs, warping the shields enough to encompass Marui and lets the other's power slide over him. It doesn't feel much different - he feels a bit stronger, a bit more aware of his movements, but that's all the physical change he can really feel.:: Okay, so what didja wanna try? ::studies the other, not sure how exactly to work the pheromone part of it, but pretty sure it'll come to him if he thinks about it long enough::

Marui: Take in a deep breath and tell me if you can smell the difference in the air. The human sense of smell is nowhere strong enough to pick up my pheromones. Now that you've synched my powers, you should be able to smell them and identify what you're smelling. *smirks* The beauty of my powers is no one knows their mood's being affected by me. When you walked in here, I already had the place completely saturated with pheromones that cause people to feel anxious or irritated.

Ryoma: ::raises an eyebrow, but complies and closes his eyes, taking a deep breath - and fuck, but Marui's right - he can tell the air is saturated with a smell he can only associate with the fidgety anxiousness he felt the instant he walked through the door, but it's only that he's thinking about it now that he realizes the two are connected. He blinks open his eyes, nodding a bit:: Yeah, you got that right. So people don't notice it, usually?

Marui: Hmph. Never. The only ones that notice are the telepaths and the animalistic mutants. Though it's a lot of fun to play with the animal senses. It affects them more than humans most of the time because of their abilities. We were giving some of the new kids a run one time and there was this freshman that transforms into a cat, he about lost his mind with the smell.

Ryoma: Huh. ::frowns a bit - he is telepathic, in a sense, but he's usually concentrating it on keeping shields in place, so...:: Well, guess you gotta be careful then, huh? Otherwise you'd be drivin' people nuts left'n right. Guess it's kinda like bein' an empath, only... I dunno. ::shrugs, still a bit agitated, but he tells himself it's nothing and takes a deep breath:: S'weird - everything does smell diff'rent, but not the way it does t'Rin.

Marui: Oh? What does Rin smell?

Ryoma: ::shrugs:: Well, everything - just a lot more'n normal people. I dunno - s'just different from this, s'all. Rin gets everything, just amplified, but I dunno f'he could make this stuff out. ::wrinkles his nose for no real reason:: So d'you realize you're releasing pheromones, or s'it just happen? ::realizes he could actually be doing it and would have no idea, but doesn't know how to stop it, either::

Marui: I've learned how to control it. *sniffs the air and smirks* You're releasing pheromones now in response to the ones I've already released. *is unaffected just from years of practice from dealing with his own pheromones leaking all over the place* You're really anxious. *releases a new scent that causes someone to feel happier*

Ryoma: ::blinks, then frowns:: Shit - didn't mean to - ::not that he has any idea how to stop, but he closes his eyes and tries to take a few more deep breaths, willing himself to relax - it's much easier than he would have thought, and he starts feeling better almost immediately - but then, the air smells a little different. He thinks. Maybe.:: Guess it is kinda involuntary, then. ::He shrugs it off, not feeling so bad about it now:: Geez, s'prolly a good thing you're not affected, or you'd be goin' through mood swings, huh? ::grins a bit::

Marui: *laughs* Imagine me at age 15. You know how the early teen years can be with all the hormones and the natural mood swings going on. Add in my pheromonal powers and you have a huge mess on your hands. I use to be like you are now - leaking pheromones all over the place - but being here for as long as I have I've learned how to control them. I've also learned how to deal with my own scents so that’s why I'm not affected. *releases another pheromone that causes most people to pant uncomfortably with lust just to see how much it affects Ryoma*

Ryoma: ::casts a sideways glance at the other, but he does suppose he knows what Marui means a bit:: Guess I was always a bit less interested in that... f'r the most part. ::He has to admit, it was mostly because people just hadn't been interesting until he'd come here... and then, well, he'd met Niou, and... He pauses in that thought, realizing that just the thought of Niou is awfully damn appealing right now - but on second thought, he can't tell if that's it, or if he just feels... weird...:: Yeah, I guess it would kinda suck f'you an' everyone around you was affected... ::Is trying to talk in an effort to figure out what's going on, because getting worked up at the moment isn't exactly a good idea...::

Marui: *nods* Well, can you imagine feeling so wound up because of hormones that you're ready to pop, and meanwhile, you're pumping out the intense form of the pheromone that causes a lustful attraction from the opposite sex and suddenly all the girls in the room are like animals in heat. *chuckles* It does wonders for the sex life, I must say. *winks at Ryoma, popping his gum*

Ryoma: Yeah, well... f'you like that sorta thing. ::Having a bunch of girls all over him isn't so appealing, but just because that's what Marui likes doesn’t mean he can’t imagine something different... Fuck. He shakes his head a bit, trying to clear it, wishing he could just calm down because he doesn't usually get this worked up over nothing.:: Well... you're better at that now, right? Haven't heard about that happening; y'know, news like that might get out... ::his elbow bumps Marui's::

Marui: *raises an eyebrow at the bumping elbows and can't help but smile brightly before shaking his head and laughing, releases the pheromone to calm Ryoma down* Down boy. You know that kind of spicy smell that was in the air just now? Remember that smell if you can. That's the one that causes those hormones of yours to go crazy like that. *smirks* It's my favorite one to use on people just to watch them squirm and lust after me. It's a real ego boost and...*sniffs the air and shakes his head* you were starting to put out the same thing, and getting pretty strong there too. *shakes his head a little, intensifying the calming pheromones to calm himself down a little bit*

Ryoma: ::blinks, realizes he's covered the couple of feet originally between himself and Marui without even realizing it, and jumps back a bit:: Fuck - s'that what it was? ::narrows his eyes a little, sniffing the air experimentally - the thought hadn't even crossed his mind that it might be Marui, but he should've guessed... And if he's doing the same thing, it's probably not helping matters. He closes his eyes and tries to think calming thoughts, or at least to blank his mind:: Guess you weren't kidding. ::He’s slowly starting to calm down now:: You really like gettin' people t'come after you? ::Now that he's thinking more clearly, he's not exactly sure that's a great pastime - to each his own, maybe, but this sounds kind of dangerous. He hopes Marui really does have the control he says he has.... though he guesses nothing he's seen or felt would indicate otherwise::

Marui: Sometimes I do...if I'm interested in that person anyway. I only did that to you to see how bad it would affect you. *smirks knowingly and winks*

Ryoma: ::nods absently:: Guess so. ::sighs a little, finally feeling calmer, and while it's kind of disturbing that Marui could've affected him so much without his realizing, now that he knows he can be sure it won't happen again. Besides, the other doesn't seem particularly inclined to do it again. He finally breaks into an bit of a sardonic grin:: I prolly woulda thought somethin' like that was useful, coupla years ago.

Marui: *chuckles* Too bad you didn't come to me then, though, I wouldn't have had as much control over my powers as I do now. I'm still trying to learn how to project pheromones. Like, making one person overwhelmingly attracted to someone other than me.

Ryoma: ::shrugs:: Well, worked out okay in the end. ::grins:: Though I dunno how I'd feel about you playin' cupid. Guess it might be useful f'r distracting people, but still... ::takes a couple more breaths, thinking he's had enough of being confused for one day:: Think I'm gonna cut it off, f'you don't wanna try anythin' else? ::he's still a bit worked up, but he's hoping that cutting the synch and resuming his shields should help with that:: You ever wanna train somethin', though, guess we c'n try again.

Marui: *thinks for a moment then smirks mischievously* Or if you ever want to cause some trouble, you can synch my powers and we can have so much fun. But you'd have to get the hang of controlling it first. *winks* I've got nothing else to test on you right now. I'm more concerned with learning how to project my pheromones, since it's the only thing I can't do yet. Anyway, it's been fun. Thanks for the distraction. I'll see you around. *is still a little moody but working on fixing it* Is Niou as insensitive with you as he is everyone else?

Ryoma: Think controlling it'd be pretty important, yeah. ::He definitely doesn't want to affect people if he doesn't even realize he's doing it, that's for sure:: Yeah, even f'I could show you, which I dunno f'I could, there's no one else here anyway. Maybe f'I work with it a bit more, we could try sometime. ::he's not sure who a willing subject would be, but that's a bit farther down the road anyway. He nods, then, and pulls the shields back around himself, dropping the synch and thickening the shields a bit, just in case. He starts to head for the door when he pauses at Marui's question:: Insensitive? I useta call it weird. ::glances back:: He's kinda blunt sometimes, f'that's what'cha mean.

Marui: Hmph. Sometimes? *looks at Ryoma with a cocked eyebrow and a sour expression* Try all the time. I've been around him for a while now and I have yet to figure the guy out. *sighs* He likes being an ass, doesn't he?

Ryoma: ::somehow feels like the older boy for a moment, though it's probably just because he's known Niou longer, and he kind of understands - somehow the memory of Niou walking down the hallway and stealing his hat suddenly becomes very vivid:: Yeah, I guess he does. ::He shrugs and grins.:: Don't think I've got him figured all the way out yet. An' I bet he likes it that way. ::In fact, Ryoma pretty much knows so, and he wouldn’t have it any other way anyway.::

Marui: Probably. Though if he weren't a teacher or trainer, I'd have a few choice words to say to him. This is the reason he wins most of the arguments and snarking with me - because if I push it further, he just has to assign me more work or make me run laps or something like that. *thinks about that for a minute but then says nothing about planning on just saying whatever the hell to Niou when he starts in on him and just taking whatever punishment Niou gives him.*

Ryoma: ::grins a little more, but shrugs again:: Yeah, well,f'you got somethin' t'say to him, just say it. Don't think he'd really assign you more shit just t'win an argument. ::That doesn't quite seem Niou's style, but then, you never really know with Niou. He might just turn around and do it anyway. He knows that Marui and Niou don't seem to get along, but it really is probably because Niou's nothing if not unorthodox, and Marui seems like the kind of guy who's used to people doing exactly what he wants, so it makes all the more sense.:: Jus' don't be surprised f'he throws it back in your face - s'what he's good at. ::he reaches the door, finally, and pulls it open.:: I'll seeya later, okay?

Marui: *nods* Thanks Echizen. Later~
