Saint-Bridgit School for Mutants

[TheMountainScene]

"Me?" Koma was startled by the invasion of privacy, unsure how to answer. His mind quickly flashed back to the lab. The clean, sterile men and women behind thick glass... The obstacle course he'd romp and roam on till they let him leave. And also...
"No. Never hurt me." Koma answered quickly. He shook the room of mirrors out of his mind.
Tall mirrors, short mirrors, mirrors of his face, mirrors that made him look funny, completely surrounded by himself... he suppressed a shudder. Some memories didn't bother him, others were cold, unfeeling, and numb with pain.
"I just get to run the obstacle course until I get tired." Koma smiled at the two of them.

[SasorizaKitty]

Lynx looked towards Koma as he spoke, listening carefully with twitching ears. Run around? Play with toys? Why did the scientist only do that to these children? Why were they special? Her eyes darted around and she frowned to herself, shuddering. What they did to her didn't hurt, no. How could they hurt a creature who could feel no pain? Oh, but they tried. And they cut her open. What better way to study her body than to open her up? And since she could feel no pain, what harm could it do? They could open her up and watch her body close itself. All they had to worry about was blood loss, so they often took her's and saved it for such experiments.

Opening her red tinged golden eyes, she physically shook, trying to dispell the memories. Why could she just run around? Or play with dolls? Why did she have to be opened up like a cadaver? It wasn't fair!

[TheMountainScene]

Koma saw frustration in Lynx's eyes, and could smell it in the air. He got the impression that not everyone spent time playing on obstacle courses and with toys.
Why doesn't everyone get to play?
"...Well..." He answered his mental question out loud, "We could play now..."

[SasorizaKitty]

Lynx blinked at the suggestion, drawn out of her deep thoughts and she looked at Koma. Slowly, her mouth twitched into a fanged smile, though she ducked her head a little to hide it. "I'd like that...what do you want to play? And...uh...I'm Lynx, by the way...what's your name?" She felt like a child again, had she been able to remember her childhood. But with the cruel things she endured, playing sounded like a good idea right now.

[TheMountainScene]

Koma brightened to hear that the mood was picking up.
"I'm Koma. This is Lei, and that's Illya." He referred to the stuffed bear as if he was a person, sitting here and contributing to their conversation.
"But you can call me Su'Ish." He grinned at the cat girl called Lynx.
He hadn't chased something challenging in a very long time.

[SasorizaKitty]

"Su'Ish...Lei and Illya." Lynx tried the names out, her tail flicking back and forth. "Okay then. What do you want to play?" Her eyes darted around the area, seeking any toys that might be laying around and looking out for any teachers or doctors that might be around. Often the elders stopped her from interacting too much with other children, afraid she might hurt them, accidentally or purposefully.

((Jak's thinking will be in olive, or another color depending on how olive looks on the forum. Bailey's thinking will be regular colored text.))

Bailey entered the courtyard where the other students where, but her mind was elsewhere. Elsewhere was the book in front of her, and Jak was snoring away in her side bag, his head hanging out of the case like he was dead. She flipped the page and stopped moving for a bit when she heard voices. It had already been a rather long day for her, she had seen the doctors already and they did their tests and had to do her “special” ability. Now she had to go through and study.

She glanced over the top of her book at the make shift group and tried to see if she could think of any of their names. Nothing came to mind and she shrugged it off, it was probably better to remember the names of the doctors anyways, she figured. Jak rolled around in the bag before deciding it was just too late to sleep anymore. He pulled his torso out and climbed along the thick strap to his normal perch. He loved being up higher than the bag, so he didn’t quite understand why Bailey insisted on having that bag. He nuzzled Bailey’s neck and looked over at the direction of the group.

What do you think they are doing? He looked over at Bailey and cocked his head to the side. The head movement was more dog like than anything but Jak really didn’t care.
Don’t know, we’ll just watch and see. I’m going to bring us over there. Bailey nodded her head toward some picnic tables and started off in that direction. The two of them had their silent conversation as the make shift group hand their own.

If anything the tables were a good area for her to study. Bailey did enjoy the courtyard, it allowed Jak to play with nature, and allowed her not to worry about Jak. She set the side bag on the table and placed her elbows on the table also. She wanted to read but at the same time watch the other students.

"Oh, playing! I love that!" Lei said, happy to have found some friends for once. "Oh, what's that, Illya?" The teddy bear had suddenly moved its paw, pointing a large building behind them. "Oh, right, the doctors must await us! We'd better get going. See you later guys!" She started to run playfully toward the building entrance, leaving the others alone.

[TheMountainScene]

Koma raised an eyebrow, his skin tingling with black fur.
"I hope you can run fast..."
Koma lurched toward her, half-transformed, half-human. It had been a very long time since he just had plain old fun, and she looked like she would pose a challenge.
As soon as his nose and mouth were a snout, he gave a happy roar.

[SasorizaKitty]

Lynx watched Lei rush off, scowling at the thought of the doctors. But she was quickly distracted when Su'Ish lunged at her. She reacted rather than thought, darting to the side, her hair standing on end in alarm. She glared at him angrily, thinking he had tried to attack her...but realizing it was a game, Lynx quickly caught on. She grinned widely and turned, taking off running across the courtyard on all fours, laughing cheerfully.

[TheMountainScene]

With a jolly roar, Koma raced on after her.
Time to show her why they call me Su'Ish.
Koma may have had the mass of a minivan, but he could turn sharply, albeit clumsily. Using a tree as a spring board, he pushed off of it to get a bit of a boost to catch up. The tree, in protest, gave a creak and was pulled up by the roots, throwing up dirt and small insects.
He lumbered with the momentum of a tank, able to juggernaut anything in his way. He leapt at her and missed, sliding on the wet grass and crashing into the table next to Jak. The bench didn't stand a chance.

[SasorizaKitty]

Lynx grinned to herself as she ran, turning sharply, digging her claws into the ground to help her turn. She could hear him right behind her and it felt rather strange, being chased. She felt her predator instincts rear their head, demanding that she turn around, that she wasn't prey. Her ears flicked as she heard him leap, and she turned to see what had happened when the crashing sounds followed.

Blinking, she noticed the other girl for the first time. Sniffing, she slowly raised herself up onto two legs, her ears flicking backwards. What was she doing there, just staring? It was unnerving and made Lynx's playful mood die quickly.

[TheMountainScene]

Koma didn't quite get the hint.
As soon as she stopped, Koma seized the opportunity and leapt on her, quickly turning back into a human before contact. Despite his force and momentum, he crashed into her and simply fell off of her.
He looked. That shouldn't have happened. In a second he noticed the expression on her face and turned to look at the other girl.

[SasorizaKitty]

Lynx grunted as Shu'Ish crashed into her, snapping at him in her annoyance. She wasn't really angry with him, but at the girl that sat on the nearby bench. Her tail lashed in anger as she looked to the other girl, who seemed close to her age. "Why are you just staring? You act like those doctors." She spat the last word out like it was a great insult. Lynx's ears were laid back and she paced a few steps, then stilled herself, awaiting an answer.

Username: Siren
Character's name: Anne Wilder
Sex: Female
Age: 17
Mutation(s): Major ~ Control over the Ice element
Minor ~ Familiar bond with a mutated cat
Description: Anne is an elegant seventeen-year-old, with long limbs and delicate proportions. Her skin is pale and smooth, her eyes are a very light shade of gray, and her hair is long, the color of raven's feathers. On her left shoulder-blade is a peculiar birthmark in the shape of a crescent moon. Her clothing varies greatly from one day to the next, always depending on her mood. She is partial to wearing black and white with rainbow accents.
Biography: Nothing much is known about Anne, for she stole away her own files from the lab. (Dexterity + grace = good thief.)
Other: Anne's cat familiar goes by the name of Nyx. Nyx is mostly black, the right side of her face and half her tail being orange. Her eyes are pale green. Scientists wished to mutate her to have birds' wings, but the experiment went wrong, leaving her with a beak for the upper part of her mouth and feathery nubs for wings. Nyx is never far from Anne, always within a few yards. (I'll get a picture up of both of them as soon as I can!)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anne sighed, walking down one hallway after another. Nyx was hitching a ride on her shoulder, per usual. As she turned yet another corner, she noticed the scene unfolding before her. Hm? Now what's this? Nyx cocked her head to the right, ears twitching. ~I haven't the foggiest...~ Anne continued to watch, interesting in what was happening. She'd only make herself known if she had to. Why make things more complicated, right?

(Just a forewarning, I'm only going to be able to get on twice a week. ^^; Sorry. Anyways, italics are Anne's thoughts, italics with ~ are Nyx's thoughts, and any light cyan is Anne's audible talking.)
