[Incoming video transmission!
It's a new kid. Blond hair, big blue eyes - status might or might not be told even to anyone not familiar with absolutely everyone off the bat by his "costume cocky" tone. Too deliberately nonchalant, held lower but deliberately inflected. But hey, it's an effort - what's an introduction without at the least a voice to go with a name? It's that much more to make an impression with.
Flashes a smile.]
Hey-y-y...!
Name's Jaune Arc. You might've... seen me around campus by now? [That might've squeaked up a little unintentionally higher - quick twirl of his finger on "around".
Stops it for a moment - and points it upward.]
I got a quick poll for you here, since - you know - tons of us are probably new to this whole training-in-superhuman-powers thing and all that. Uh - [And loosens up.] What it is is...
How many of us -- have only defensive skills? Uh -- [Hasty:] -- and who's only got offense, too?
A-a-and those of us who've been in training longer, exactlyyy... - How far would you say you've -- you know, [Airquotes.] "evolved" whatever it is you got into the school with?
No -- ...special reason I'm asking. [Flips up his hands - and brings one to scratch the back of his head.] Just -- you know.
A little getting-to-know-you-and-your-powers thing in the first week of school...

Re: [video]
[Alric seems intrigued by that.]
How curious... mine began to manifest when I was quite young--weakly, at first, thankfully. I confess, though, I can't help but envy, to some extent, control coming so easily. Of what, if it's not prying too much, do your powers consist?
no subject
A'ight, stand your ground, act natural, let the results be the judge.]
Uh - ha ha, no! It-it isn't prying! Hey, if - we're going to school together -- most people're probably gonna find out what your powers are anyway. Uhh -
[And that was babbling. Back on track.]
I'm, uh - an "aura manipulator". [His voice on those two words is flat.] -- Someone put it that way; I don't know. It's shorter than... saying I can focus my own energy into regenerating or hardening around me into -- something kinda like a force field.
no subject
[Alric smiles reassuringly, compassionate but confident, and quite unperturbed, to soothe some of that frantic stumbling about, for Jaune's sake if not the conversation's.]
I confess, I'm still learning a lot of the terms people use for the things we can do. It certainly sounds impressive, though, and quite versatile.
