Aria found herself outside the Safe House. She considered stepping inside, not completely sure until a brisk wind swept across her, sweeping through her clothes. She was cold, and even though she wasn't sure she wanted to see anyone, it would be worth it to get out of the cold. Aria pushed the door open with one gloved hand. As she stepped in, she looked around, wondering if anyone was inside.

OoC :: He jumped in fright- he was not expecting someone to come out of nowhere. "Oh god, you scared me. Um. Yeah. Kind of new. Been here a week if that counts for anything- though I know as much as somebody who just arrived. Other than small things.... dorms and the library and the buildings basically..." He said with a smile before moving towards her with a smile. "I'm Caleb!"

Lucille jumped slightly as the door behind them opened. She turned to see the girl she spotted moments earlier now standing behind them. So she had been following them? Lucille narrowed her eyes a bit. "Hi," she said quietly. "I'm Lucille." She said. "Are you new?" She felt like she herself was the welcome committee just because she had been here longer than the newest wave of students that Jusf arrived. Great. She thought. Just great.
Guinevere remained seated where she was and closed the book. She hadn't been reading it anyway, instead, lost in thought. "Sorry, I didn't meant to scare you." She said. "I tend to do that. I wasn't really expecting anyone..." She forced a small smile. "I'm Guinevere. Welcome." She waved her hands motioned to the room. "I suppose you haven't gotten a formal welcome yet, have you?" Holland wasn't into those...

IC :: "Not quite. But I wasn't entirely expecting to get this huge welcome party when I got kidnapped and dropped off here." He gave an awkward chuckle. "I hope I'm not intruding though- then I'd feel bad.... this is the library area in the Safe House, right? Cause I also know there is an actual library here too and all..."

"I'm Arianna," Aria said, her eyes travelling across the group in front of her. "I'm not as new as they are," she said, gesturing towards the others, "But I haven't been here as long as you have, either. I'm in dorm four, so that's probably why you haven't seen me." As soon as she stopped indicating towards the others, her hands snapped back towards her sides, almost as if she had magnets on her wrists and her body was made of metal. It was pretty clear she was worried about something, though someone who didn't know her wouldn't know what.

Minnie fell a few steps behind the group. She was wondering if she should keep following, and get a tour of the place from one of the students, or look around on her own. She was still a little suspicious of Lucille, and would definitely feel better if she knew for certain the other girl was a mutant. "So, Lucille, whats your power?"

Minnie had noticed that it was a little... rude to ask that question and not address Arianna. "Um.. actually, if everyone's comfortable answering that- Hi, I'm Minnnie" She held out her hand for Arianna.

At the offered hand, Arianna's eyes went a little wide, then traveled down to where her own fingers were still hidden in her gloves. The sight of her covered fingers was bolstering enough for her to raise her hand up to shake Minnie's. She just hoped her sleeve didn't pulled out of the way and cause her skin to brush Minnie's she didn't want to see something without Minnie meaning her to, and she couldn't hide that happening. Not only would her distraction be clear on her own face, but Minnie would have to relive anything Aria saw too. As she took Minnie's hand, she spoke, "I normally go by Aria, just so you know." She offered a small smile, hoping to keep from scaring the new girl.

Minnie cocked her head. She realized the other girls powers must be connected with touch.Or she was a germaphobe, but this was one of those times where that would be the least likely option of the two. Noticing how nervous the other girl seemed, Minnie relaxed her pose a little and smiled. "So, what are classes like here? Also, if I wanted to leave - and I'm not saying I do- can I? I mean, we aren't prisoners or anything, just students, right?" Minnie felt a little bad abut asking that last part. She knew the girl was the most nervous, and a question like that was a little, tense.

Aria bit her lip and glanced to the side. Minnie's question was more complex then she probably realized. "No, we're not prisoners, but leaving isn't easy either. It's better to just get comfortable here than ask those kinds of questions. After awhile, you don't really miss anything else. It's a nice place to call home." She hated saying it like that, as Minnie seemed to be relaxing a little bit, at least to her. But she'd been there for so little time herself that that was the best answer she could give. A few months was a long time compared to the new kids, but compared to other students, that was nothing. She still wasn't sure just how strong the government block that kept them all there was.

Rosalynn had managed to zone out, her mind oddly silent as her eyes scouted her surroundings. It was all so new, but she had to admit it was beautiful. Although it would take some getting used to, living with other people, she had a feeling it'd feel like home in no time. Anywhere that accepted her was home, really. But, she did wonder about the place and she gathered that there were more secrets than anything. Shrugging to herself, she turned to Lucille. "I heard of Xavier's School," she said after a moment. "I would see things about mutants on the television when I was younger... The government made us sound like something to be feared. And... then suddenly I was one. But Xavier was a real savior, wasn't he? He loved everyone... I wonder what ever happened to his School... At least the Safe Haven is here, right? I-I don't know where I'd be now if I hadn't been picked up." She bit her lip to stop herself from talking. She'd never really had anyone to talk to before, so even that was new for her.

Guinevere allowed herself a laugh as well. "Ya, well, there used to be a bit more of a welcome when the old director was around. Ever since the new guy took place," She quieted her voice a little realizing his ears could be anywhere, "Things haven't been the same. I can answer whatever questions you have, or at least try to, and show you around if you ever need help." She said shrugging. That seemed to have become her job anyway. She nodded. "This is the library though. Its open most hours for everyone. Don't worry about intruding. I'm usually the only one in here anyway."
Lucille took in the new girls introduction. "Lucille," She said. She noted that the girl hadn't been too keen on shaking Minnie's hand and held back her hand like she had earlier when she met the other two. It was moments before she finally spoke to Minnie, answering her question. "Mind control.." She hesitated. "You, Minnie? Aria? Roasalynn?" She went around the small group which now seemed much bigger than before. She realized she was now the head of all these students, newer than herself who had much more questions than she had answers for. "This place will keep you safe for all I know. The government doesn't know about it. We aren't prisoners...as far as I know, but we also aren't leaving any time soon. It's safer to stay here. If Xavier were here of course, he could probably explain things in more detail. I know he helped plan this with the old director though. In case anything happened. And, well, we are here. I just wish we knew more."

"Okay," Aria said, accepting what Lucille said. It was easier to avoid using her power here anyways, as most of the other students accepted her quirks without questioning why, like normal people would. That didn't mean she was completely comfortable though. She didn't know how tactile that other students were, and she also didn't know how hard the training would be, when that started. Nervously, Aria tugged at her sleeves, a bad habit she'd had for years. Even if her sleeves already met her gloves, she'd pull on them anyway, stretching them out. "Do you know what training will be like when it starts? I know some of the trainers aren't ready yet," Aria asked.

Rosalynn listened carefully. "Well, prisoners or not, it feels like a safe place, despite all the secrets," she said. "I'm sure we'll figure out more soon once... training and classes start." She let her gaze fall to her hands. It was the knowledge of Xavier's powers that made her realize that she was a mutant, and she felt sad that she'd never be able to meet him. He had been long gone before she was born, but she didn't know if he had died or if he'd disappeared. No one really knew. "I'm a telepath," she said quietly to the others. It seemed odd to share her power so freely when she'd spent so much of her life keeping it away from others, but it also felt refreshing. "I can read minds and speak to others through their minds."

Minnie didn't think that the school sounded particularly free, but she could live there for a while if she had to. It never really mattered where she was, at some point she was going to go rocketing through time. Where no one could follow her. "I can manipulate time" The other girls looked surprised. Minnie didn't blame them, it was a very powerful sounding ability. "Oh, it's not as impressive as it sounds. Very hard to control, right now, I can only travel 15 seconds forward or back or stop for a max of five minutes- if I don't want to risk involuntarily traveling a unknown amount of time.

Aria bit her lip. She knew they were all looking at her for her power, but part of her didn't want to say it. What if the threat of reliving their pasts and her seeing it was to much and she got pushed away again. Even if she preferred to be alone most of the time, she still needed human interaction sometimes. "I... I'm a visionary," Aria took a deep breath, then went on, "I only see the past, and it's triggered by touch." She lifted one hand to remind them of her gloves, her defense against the visions. "These help a little. I can't see anything if I never touch it."

Rosaylnn looked at the other girls, nodding. She thought it was a nice thing to be surrounded by people like her. And the thing was, she wasn't even scared. If anything, it made her feel more at home. "And Lucille?" she asked, curiously. "What is your power? If you want to share, that is."

heyo c: I got all these free guys if anyone's interested )
Kell sat on the grass, it was a little cold for this activity, but hey, he' be damned if he ever let the weather tell him what to do (except when it rained. That would ruin his jacket.) He had his headphones in, an audio book of King Arthur's Legends was playing today. The narrator had an incredibly pleasant voice, an important trait for a voice actor, he supposed. Sitting on one of the slopes near his cabin, there was no one else around. Well, no one he could see. Which was everyone. He probably should've been training, should've been expanding his abilities, trying to 'see' with his mind like he'd been taught. But right now, all he wanted to do was hear the end of his story. Powers and psychic abilities would still exist at the end of this chapter, and so, they could wait. His cane rested across his lap, and he absentmindedly dug his fingers into the grass and the dirt where he sat, feeling the cool, firm earth beneath him, and the pulse of life it gave off.
Dripping with sweat and panting for drink, Bernadette Proctor stepped off of the work out machine in the gym and wiped an arm across her broad forehead. Her legs and arms were burning with such a satisfying fire it was enough for her to give a lupine grin when she took a huge swig of water. Most of it spilled out of her mouth and the huge girl licked her lips, tasting her own salt. It was pretty gross, and she stank, but Proctor was nothing if not serious about her fitness. She'd seen first hand the benefits of those extra hours in the gym, but from the sheer size of her, maybe she didn't quite need them as much as she used to anymore. No point getting soft, however. None at all. She wiped her face with the bottom of her shirt, feeling the ridge of her scar and the bump of her broken nose under the fabric, before heading to the shower rooms to get clean.
Why was there never anything on TV in the winter? It always had to be Christmas movies, or day time sitcoms, and Angel wasn't a fan of either. Home Alone 2 was on again. How many times could that kid be left alone? That was just shoddy parenting, frankly. Turning off the TV with a disgusted sigh, Angel tossed the remote control away from him and dug his phone out. At least on this thing he could find something to watch, even if he'd seen it a million times before. He was in his own room in his cabin, though that was about to change, because boredom is a powerful creature. Strong enough to make even some as stubborn as Angel venture into the fresh air. It didn't make him put away his phone, however. It'd have to try and bit harder then that. Walking out of the cabin and leaning against the front wall of the house, he pulled his blazer closer to him with one free arm, glaring at the cold air.
The cafe was cute, she'd give them that. When Neelam first came here, she hadn't been ecstatic about the aesthetic of this place, preferring pastels over concrete any day. But the cafe was quaint, and handy, and warm even in the depths of winter. So, that's where she was today, though she wasn't eating much. There was a glass of lemonade in front of her, as well as a glass of water with two paintbrushes sticking out of it, dying the water inside it a vibrant red. In her little notebook, she was splashing away with a third brush, her tongue out slightly in concentration. It was an exercise she'd done a million time before; paint something, but only use one colour. Today, she was painting the little thing of flowers on the table in front of her, and judging by the amount of paint on her hands and face, it wasn't faring easy. Not thinking of what she was doing, Neelam reached for her lemonade, grabbed the wrong glass, and only realised this half way through drinking the filthy water. Struggling to retain her dignity, she slwoly spat the water back out into the glass, gagging a little.

KK! Thanks!) Irene would jump on a bar of a hallway, and slide down it like a surfer on a surf board, but instead her feet, and with her Agility abilities. Irene would land in front of the dorms, and open dorm #3, and find her room, and lay in her bed, reading a "how to manifest your powers" A book her parents and sister got for her on her 16th birthday, a year ago.

[ No problem! Guinevere is in the library with Caleb Lucille is in the Safe House, right before the Library with Minnie, Aria and Rosalyyn ]
Lucille took in everyone's powers. She was intrigued and loved learning about them all. It was nice to know that she wasn't alone but none the less, she was still getting used to this world and she was a bit wary of the other powers. She didn't know if she could trust everyone. Especially not with all their powers- visionary, telepathy, time travel..even her mind control were all mental. At any moment any of them could unleash their power on her. There was nothing stopping them. But she had to trust, again that trust that she wasn't very good at, that they wouldn't use their powers on her. They were all here the same reason. To learn, to harness their powers, to be protected. She reassured herself a bit. Training right. She was vaguely aware of the three other girls around her still speaking. "The training...I haven't done much of it yet. There is an indoor and outdoor facility though, I know that. There are tons of things available for us to work with, practically anything imaginable." She said. "It's been mostly us training each other from what I've seen. The trainers..well, I don't really know what happened to them...again, it's better if we talk to Guinevere. I don't want to tell you anything wrong." She said. She turned back to Minnie. "You wanted to see the library right?"

Aria nodded, not particularity interested in false information. She could wait a bit longer on the full answer to her question. Then, rather suddenly, she recognized the look she'd seen in Lucille's eye before she'd answer her question. Lucille was scared. Aria completely understood that, she'd seen many terrifying things with her power, faced the fear of the government wanting to harm her, and felt the fear of the unknown the first time she'd woken up in the Safe House, no idea where she was or what the wan't. She figured Lucille was scared of the powers around her, and she could understand that too. The thought of someone controlling her, as she'd heard was possible, was terrifying. Aria drew her hands back towards herself, hoping that removing the threat of her power might help assuage her fear.

"Sorry," She said, noticing that Aria seem to draw herself back a bit. "I'm really not great around people.." She trailed off. "I'm not used to talking to so many at once. And I'm sure as you can understand, everything is still new. It takes adjusting to...especially every time newcomers arrive." She shrugged. "Anyway, the library is straight ahead through these doors." She motioned to the doors in front of them. "Inside the library there is another set of doors which leads to another library. That library we aren't supposed to take books from. There is another library too...a more full library. This one is more guided towards...us I guess." She said. "Come on," She led the way.

Aria frowned, it seemed she'd done the opposite of what she'd meant to. Instead of making Lucille more comfortable, she'd only made her feel the need to apologize. "So the books in this library are about us? Or our powers, or something like that?" Aria asked. She'd spent most of her time at the Safe House in her room and the dorm courtyard, so she didn't really know a lot about the other parts of the school. "Are the books useful? There are tons of questions I have, but I'm not sure there are answers for them."

She nodded. "Something like that. I haven't really gotten into these books. I really don't spend much time in here. These are more of the books we would learn about in our classes, things about us- ya." She concluded. "It can answer some questions, though not all of them. From what Guinevere tells me, there is a lot they aren't telling us. A lot we don't know." As she walked into the safe house, she spotted Guinevere with the boy from their floor. She couldn't remember his name. Caleb was it maybe? She hadn't officially met him, but had seen him in passing and glanced at his door tag. "That's Guinevere over there...She might be able to answer some questions."
Guinevere looked up as two people entered the library. She recognized one as Lucille. The other girl, she had seen maybe once, but she knew she hadn't been here long.

Irene would get up, and put her book away, and walk to the library(Oh yeah Irene likes to read ) Irene would open the library door with her air powers, and she broke a rule. She shrugged, and the door shut behind her, and she half dunked, half walk to the young adult section of powers. Irene would come across a book on Air, and another one of Agility, and she took it with her long arm, and sharp/long pretty nails. she turned around, her blonde hair rippling after her. she got to the check-out desk, and a person checked them out for her, and she ran swiftly to her dorm.

Rosalynn quietly followed after Lucille and Aria, her eyes focusing jumping all over the place as she examined her new surroundings. "Who's Quinevere?" she asked, curiously. "You've mentioned her so many times. Is she one of the heads?"
