Saint-Bridgit School for Mutants

[Maverik]

Runin smiled politely at the girl, her eager friendliness refreshing as it seemed to dispel his hesitations. Unlike the few other mutants he had spoken with, she didn't seem shift the blame of her existence on him, like the others... Still, I understand where they're coming from... He held back a sigh his eyes drifting downwards for a second, before quickly looking back up at the girl.

"Thank you... I appreciate the help." The teenager's tone was warmer than before, though the change was subtle. Still, he felt more at ease, and slowly brought his hand forward to properly greet the person who had been willing to help him. "My name is Runin. Pleased to meet you."

At the same time, though, the scorpion that lay dormant on his toque slowly roused. It was bored, for a lack of better term, and somewhat hungry. With a click of annoyance, the arachnid brought its tail down on the teenager, drawing his attention before he could shake the girl's hand.

"What?" Runin looked up, curiously wondering why his familiar had chosen now to awaken.

[Maeve]

Lei was about to shake the guy's hand, when she saw something moving on him, and the guy started to talk with what was apparently his familiar. She knew other kids with familiars, but a scorpion? That was weird. She didn't show her surprise, though, and waited for the guy's attention to come back on her.

[Maverik]

"Yeah, I understand you're hungry, but can you just wait unti-..." Runin paused, as he finally realized his situation. Great. One more point for him. I probably look ridiculous... He slowly shifted his gaze back to the young girl, as he smiled nervously.

"Heh... sorry about that... My friend here's a bit of an annoyance at times." At those words, the scorpion playfully brought his tail down on the teenager again, the soft sound of him hitting the fabric barely audible. "See?"

As he looked back at the girl, he saw her pause, but showed no real sign of any other emotion. Either she was hiding it, or she honestly wasn't bothered by it. Regardless, Runin shrugged, before speaking again.

"And yeah... I doubt you've seen much people physically converse with their familiar, let along having a scorpion as a companion. I know I was surprised when I first met him. ... As for the talking bit..." Runin paused for a moment, as he thought about how to word his statement. He wasn't ashamed of his lack of tangible mutations by any means; it was simply an aspect he found hard to convey to the mutants he had spoken with.

"Well, I guess you could say my ability's hadn't been developed properly. I can somewhat empathize with him, feeling when he feels fear, satisfaction, or something else, but I can't telepathically think to him. Still, it's a nice little system that keeps us going." As he finished his sentence, he looked back at the girl, wondering what her response would have been.

[Maeve]

"Oh, that's ok," Lei quickly said with a nervous smile, hoping she didn't look rude or something. She knew most people here didn't like to talk too much about their mutation, or how far they powers could go. Still, she didn't feel like the guy was shocked by her look, but decided it would be a better idea to skip that point and restart their conversation on something else. She didn't want to think about her powers, or what had happened earlier that day.

"So, you say you were looking for the dorms, right?" she said, trying to look as natural as possible.

[Maverik]

Runin appreciated the girl's etiquette, and he could feel his friend's disappointment when no real entertainment resulted from his intervention. Though unable to see him, the teenager could feel the scorpion as he settled back down, sliding back to a restful slumber as he patiently waited for Kos to find the dormitories. After all, he couldn't hunt for food until he knew where they would be residing.

Nodding at the girl's question, Runin spoke in response, his voice calm and neutral again. "Yes. I'm one of the new arrivals at this school from the research institution..." Pausing for a moment, Runin looked curiously at the girl. Was mentioning the facility considered a taboo in this area? After all, it was no secret that few people liked the place, as their fears were fueled by both rumors and gruesome truths.

[Maeve]

Lei looked at the guy, wondering why he had stopped talking suddenly. "Oh, yeah," she added, not really knowing what to say. "Most people here came from the research center. Me, and Lynx, and a couple others too." She wasn't too sure if she needed to say or add something, so she decided to close her mouth for the moment, watching the guy with curiosity. It had been a long time since she met someone new to the school.

[Maverik]

((Ack. I have to go. x.x Sorry))

He was relieved the little girl hadn't taken offense to the mention of the facility. Of course, most of the mutants here would have had to have come from there, as mutations in the wild are clearly abnormal. In the wild... How did that come to pass? He thought for it for a moment, slowly losing himself in though.

He didn't have much time to dwell, though, as he turned his attention back to the person in front of him. Noticing her curious expression, Runin couldn't help but ask.

"What's the matter?"

[Maeve]

"Oh, nothing," Lei quickly said. "I was just... uh... well... anyway, do you want to see the dorms? I was planning on getting there..." Words were rushing through her mouth, making her sentences looked a bit blurry, but still understandable. At that moment, she really looked like a young kid.

"Anyway, just come with me..." she said as she turned around and made her way toward a large building, separated from the main studying center and linked to it by two enclosed bridges, one on the second floor and the other on the fourth.

((Ok, see you later...))

[x_lilmissNINJA_x]

Username: x_lilmissNINJA_x
Character's name: Alice Vale
Sex: Female
Age: 15
Mutation(s):

-Major-

-> Telepathy: can detect someone in a circle of 500km; can talk into the head of someone and control his thoughts/acts

-Minor-

-> Transmutation: has the ability to change only one thing into something else, or change its size; only one thing
For this, Alice's one thing is a small pocket knife she carries around. Normally, this would be a problem, and it would be taken away, but she has made it so no one offical notices and no one who would steal it cares.

Description:

Alice is only 5 feet, 2 inches tall. She has orange-red hair that she usually messily cuts to her shoulders, and bright green eyes that stand out of her pale face like spotlights. Just by looking at you, even though she is a bit short, she can make anyone feel tiny compared to her. She has a petite frame but has developed herself to be very strong, lifting things sometimes 3 times her own weight for short periods of time, and using a mixed type of matial arts to bring people to the ground.

Alice can seem completely overconfident at times, but really, she jsut knows what she can and can't do. She's the kind of person who won't threaten you with a stick, she just hits you with it. She never makes things seem easy, being completely realistic and statistical. Often picking fights, she likes to argue and bicker. "It keeps things interesting." is what she usually says to anyone who asks why.

Biography:
Alice was taken at the age of three, a sweet but smart child who was given up for no reason other than the fact that her parents were selfish.

They tossed her in an orphanage, where occasionally the same people would come in to check on her progress. When they saw how quickly she advanced, they transferred her to the facility to begin testing.

Her mental abilities were already incredible before they began mutations, passing tests with ease that msot adults would find difficult. After they began mutations on her, it skyrocketed. She became telepathic almost immediately, also teaching herself to bend and create things.

12 years in the facility has taught her who to trust and who not to. She can gain a sense of a persons soul and thoughts in seconds of meeting them and therefore does not have any friends. Apparently, people don't like having thier minds dug into.

Other: Nothing at the moment. When I think of it, you'll know.

[Maverik]

Runin nodded, as he seemed to follow his guide's fast-paced speech with no problems. Taking a short moment to ensure his arachnid friend was secure on his toque, the teenager began following the girl as she led him to the buildings.

Looking at the structure, Runin could tell that a fair deal of funding had been regulated for this facility, as the crisp buildings seemed to radiate a purely pristine aura, strikingly different from the small town that the school was situated in.

Still, the teenager didn't dwell on that, as another thought crossed his mind. Turning to his guide, he softly spoke up. "I'm sorry... but what did you say your name was?"

[TheMountainScene]

((Lol. I'll be waiting, miss ninja))
Thurm blinked at her broken speech.
What was wrong with her?
They drugged her. They gave her medication.
Thurm knew what medication was. rubbed his tongue on the roof of his mouth to get rid of the taste that was coming back.
"Would... would you help us... me?" Thurm didn't know where to find Hunwut, and this girl did. He needed this girl to help him before his head split in two.

[SasorizaKitty]

"Help you? Help you? Su'Ish doesn't need help. He says all he does is run around during those doctor's tests! So what? So? So? He doesn't need help with that. That isn't horrible." She growled a bit, her ears flicking.

"If he was hurt...if he did worse things...I would help, yes. I wish someone would help me. Why does no one help Lynx? Why?" She glared at him a moment, her tail switching. "Who are you again? Your name, what was your name? Why do you want to save a bear who is only running around?"

[TheMountainScene]

Thurm wasn't sure how to explain himself.
Koma is running, but it's sure not an obstacle course and he's sure not happy about it. Instinct ensured pointedly. The fact that Thurm's headache progressively got worse didn't help.
"We... I... I'm Paqil. I stay... in the labs...we don't leave. I don't leave." ((Pah-keel, means flowerl)) Not referring to both him and Instinct togethor was difficult.
"Hunwut... bear... He is in trouble. We need... I... We need to help him. You saw him last, so you know where he went?"
This girl was starting to confuse him. She looked so intellignet. So refined. Did medication really destory her mind like this? He felt sick thinking about it.
"We... I will help you. Togethor. We'll all'll work togethor."

[SasorizaKitty]

Lynx's ears flicked. She actually thought he was talking strangely as well. She frowned thoughtfully, trying to remember. She had been blinded by rage when she destroyed that mechanical bird...it had taken her a few minutes to even realize that Su'Ish was gone. Lynx blew the bangs from her face and growled low, her tail flicking.

"Bear ran back to the school. NO I AM NOT TALKING TO YOU!!" She suddenly screamed, jerking her head to the right. There was no one there. She looked back towards Paqil, her ears flicking. "Ran back by himself. Bird screamed at him, he ran back. Then they got me. Darted me. Darkness."

But she stood, moving off the couch. "If they are hurting Su'Ish, then I will help. I will help Paqil, I will help the monster like me. Let's go back outside, to where I last saw him. I will follow his scent. We will find the bear."

[TheMountainScene]

More than ever now, Thurm was scared of this woman. She looked so quick and graceful, but she was loud and scary. He almost mentioned the fact that she yelled at someone who wasn't there.
Not important. Go get Hunwut and save him.
Thurm turned and followed Lynx outside into the quickly cooling evening.
