Dementia stared at Laodice. The only word that could describe the emotion on her face would be serenity, strange for the circumstances. She let go of Galilee's hand with a demented smile, knowing that she would most definitely back her up on this one, and decided that now would be a good time to deal with Captain Obvious and Laodice in one blow. Kill to birds with one stone, so to speak.
"Ah, but you see, the flaw is obvious in your thinking. I'm surprised Captain Obvious over here hasn't stammered the blatant fact in complete disregard to what he was saying. Because, darling, I'm not hurt. In fact, I'm doing much better than I was. See?" She breathed in deeply and exhaled easily, as if in meditation. "I mean, you're entitled to have an opinion, but there's really no point in doing so when it's wrong.
"So, Laodice, was it? Is it better then, in your opinion, to not use my powers at all, and to let them go to waste, because it is disgusting to you? If my powers are regeneration, then the only way I can exercise them is by getting rid of something that I need to regenerate. My gift is the ability, not the bones, and that's what I'm making use of. I used my powers just then to open up my airways. I'm a horrible asthmatic, did you notice? Oh, dear. I forgot that you two were too caught up in what was going on to even bother to wonder why I would stick a hollow tube down my throat and widen the hole in my esophagus. Silly me."

Laodice shook his head, feeling anger burn inside him. He usually controlled himself well, but he couldn't control himself as well as he usually could in Dementia's presence. "You're a complete moron, do you know that?" Laodice said, "Do you understand a word I said or are there bones in your ears? Or are you just too stupid to understand?" Though this would seem like a normal response to most people, to Laodice it sounded extremely rude and he almost felt bad. "You obviously either didn't hear or didn't listen to what I said," he continued, "so maybe I should say it slower. I know you're not hurting yourself, but you're showing a totally blatant disregard for the method. And yes, you have as much right to use your powers as anyone else, but you could show even the slightest respect for those around you by possibly doing it only when you really needed too or by doing it a bit farther away." Laodice paused for a moment. "And now my clothes are covered in blood, you're insulting people, and this little puppet here is going to agree with everything you say," he continued, pointing at Galilee, "I, honestly, liked it better when you had the bone in your throat. That way, I couldn't hear you speak. The thing you're lacking here is not rights or abilities, but respect for those around you. If you can't show that at least a little, you're not worth talking to." Laodice felt a mixture of guilt and contentment as he finished his short speech and waited for Dementia to respond.

"When I needed to, huh? Let me tell you this, boy. I couldn't breathe. Doesn't that sound like a necessity to you, or do you not need oxygen to survive? I'm not insulting you. I'm stating facts. In a way, I'm helping you let go of your wrong vision of the world. The way I do it is my own business. You kind of people don't deserve respect in the traditional way. No human deserves respect, if anything at all. That's the essence of humanity. You have to earn everything from the bottom up. Don't you agree, little puppet?" she asked Galilee, using the name that Laodice had called her. She cold see that she wasn't very happy about that one.
"Here, Laodice, let me let you in on a little secret: I don't give a damn if you don't think I'm worth talking to. You people have done nothing to earn my respect but state the obvious and cower in little corners. So I'm not going to give it to you. Suck it up and take it like a man."

"'You kind of people'?" Laodice repeated, "So I suppose your kind of people are the demented, self-important ones. As for when you need to use your powers, perhaps it was important to fix your breathing, but what caused the problem in the first place? Could it have been your self-mutilation?" Laodice started to get a headache. "And who are you to define me in a class?" he continued, "You obviously don't listen. What reason do you have to treat people like they're not as important as you? And how does crushing and ripping apart your body help you to work your way up in society as you say is necessary?"

"Well, I think it's better being self-important than being an unintelligent asshole such as yourself." Galilee spat in Laodice's direction, "And because it's her power, she can do whatever the hell she wanted to do with it. She was only training, such as I was doing with you and Captaion Obvious over here, and if I decided to kill myself, then so be it, I will. Because she couldn't breath, does that give her a reason not to use her power to help herself? If you were drowning, but you could breathe underwater, would you let yourself die because there was someone with you? She has every right to this Training Field as the rest of us do, so quit complaining."
"And for the record, I'm not her puppet, we just happen to be so great we think alike. I'm sorry you aren't anywhere near as intelligent." Galilee said, rolling her eyes behind her sunglasses.
{{Sorry, Phantom. I like you, but Galilee kinda...doesn't. ^^' No hard feelings, right?}}

Laodice turned to Galilee and sighed. He gave himself a second to calm down, seeing that hostility would get them nowhere. "Let's start over," he said, "I'm not saying she doesn't have the right to use her powers. She just needs to respect the rights of others too. I say that it was perfectly fine that she cleared her throat to breathe. I probably would have done the same thing. Also, I appreciate that she was relatively far away while ripping her body apart," Laodice pointed over to the blood-stained tree, "I just think she needs to be a bit more respectful to people's opinions. Some people don't enjoy the feeling of blood stained clothes." Laodice held up his jacket to emphasize his point.

Jake the entire time had been plugging his ears from there constant arguing. Sure, he used to be part of it, but now it turned into a bit of a three-way conflict. "Alright, if it's gonna be like this..." Jake said to himself as a little blue ball emitted from his pawn and he put it about in the center of the trio. Then it spread itself and shaped into a brick wall, seperating each of the three from one another, with each section with complimentary chairs. "Alright, are we going to cool down or all of you going to have to go to the corner for a time out?" Laodice, though somewhat arguing in his defense, was just showing a bit of hotheadedness as the other two, so he was put in the miz as well.

"I think Galilee is the only one speaking much sense here," Dementia voiced as she listened to the girl's defense. It sounded like something that had been formulating in her mind. They really did think alike. "I do happen to be respecting your rights, Laodice. You're not dead, are you? You're not enslaved, are you? I don't see what you're complaining about. Besides," she added with a nod to his jacket. "Didn't I apologize for that already? I'm going to take care of it, I don't know if I already said so. And now I'm respecting your right to good property."
The blue energy then forced them away from each other, and pushed her into a chair of the same substance with an "oomph." She stood up angrily and slammed her fist into the energy, but decided not to exert herself enough to break through. She leaned against the wall. "You know, Captain, you could have at least put me with Galilee," she told Jake. "She's on my side. And by the way, you've just alienated the only person defending yours. Smart move."

Galilee rolled her eyes, shaking her head and leaning against the wall for a short time before standing up, speaking after Dementia did. "You're agreeing with us for a moment." she said, raising an eyebrow though Laodice couldn't see, "For the last time, it's not her fault. You basically just went against yourself. You're saying it's fine for her to use her powers, so it was fine to slit her throat to help her breathe, but she can't help herself if her airpipe is closed and everyone is watching her. Whether you like it or not, she has to breath or she'll die. And I'm sure she'll be respectful next time, so as long as people understand why she did what she did." the girl said, shaking her head again as she kicked the ground with the heel of her boot.

"I'm not doing this to keep groups seperate, but individual people. Dementia, you and Laodice can't see eye to eye right now, so I sperate you. Galilee is egging you on, so I need to seperate you two from one another to keep things down... I should've made your walls soundproof... and Galilee is in your defense and is arguing with Laodice now, so I guess it was a good idea to seperate them." Denta said.
"Alright, in the debate of 'Power Abuse or Not', we dicuss how Dementia feels she needs to be able to practice her power in order to have a full extent to what she can do, and Galilee backs her up on this side of the argument." Denta walks over to Laodice's wall. "Laodice believes that Dementia should be more considerate of the people around her in power usage and, of course, I back him up in this. Now, am I grasping this completely or do I need adjustemnts in order to move on?" Denta decided this was the best way to deal with this, and, for extra measure, made the walls already around them sturdier.
"Laodice, I would hope you wouldn't use your power during this... you too, Galilee... alright, again, am I missing details?" Even though he really can't expect them to stay there, but this argument really needed to be settled between them.

Laodice shook his head. "This whole situation is ridiculous," he said, "I'm not taking sides anymore. Let's just think this through logically." He thought for a moment then continued, "Everyone has the right to use their powers as they wish, even her," he gestured to Dementia, but noone could see it for the walls, "And everyone has a right to their personal space and... mental stability. If you don't want to see anyone ripping their body apart, close your eyes or walk away. I'm new here, but I assume things like this happen all of the time. A for staying in this little cage..." Laodice lowered the gravity around him, lifting himself out of the walls. "I retain my right to my personal space," he said, walking away toward the school.

Jake's stomach growled loudly and held it embarrasingly. "Whoops, skipped breakfast today." Jake said with a blush. "Well, I pretty much made this whole thing stupider... so I'll leave all thiis where it is, since he just left." After taking back the walls (unfortunately the comfy chairs too), he left off to see if he could find anything to eat in the cafeteria. "I always like some good ol' fashioned pancakes..." Jake said to himself as he walked away from the probably bewildered Dementia and Galilee... or not.

"And so Captain Obvious once again shows us his immense powers of perception," Dementia muttered sarcastically, sounding like an underpaid tour guide at a museum who was showing a piece she was entirely disinterested in. Her half-hearted gesture towards Jake's voice was unseen behind the walls. She sighed, sat down in the chair, and flicked the blue energy just as the Captain had started changing his tune to his hunger needs. Immediately it disappeared. Dementia fell onto the ground with an angry "oomph" as her body was no longer supported by the chair she sat on.
"Well, so that's that," she murmured disinterestedly as she daintily wiped off a few specks of dirt that had gotten onto her skinny jeans.

Galilee rolled her eyes, but decided that was as far as it was going to get. After all, those two boys had extremely thick heads, but she could deal with it, of course. She could definetly deal with it, because she wouldn't hold a grudge. She'd probably just do whatever she could to make then feel unwelcome at Cassis. And because she didn't even like the school, it would probably give it a bad reputation, therefore resulting in poor attendance and then finally closing the school down. Or not.
Galilee shook her head, trying to clear her mind, and then turned to Dementia, walking forward and offering her hand without a word in an attempt to help the girl up from the ground.
