Aww I'm sorry, I hope that your family can recover x. I'm glad you had fun in Norway, what were you out there for?)
Taken slightly aback by his cheerfulness, Natura stuttered slightly "Q... Quiet... Oh.. S... Sorry I guess. Umm I was a hare at the time." She emidietly placed her head in her hands. That would sound absolutely stupid "I mean... Well. I shapeshift and... Umm. Yeah so you probably wouldn't have heard me." Sighing, Natura still didn't permit herself the luxury of looking up as her anxiety took over her emotions. Her face flushed, although it wasn't very noticeable through her pale complexion. If she hadn't been in the middle of a conversation, she would have transformed into a bird by now and flown away, but as it stood at the moment she wasn't going to be rude. After all she had been raised to have manners. "So.. Umm.. Perceptive?" She asked clumsily, referring back to what he had briefly mentioned earlier. She wondered what he had meant. What could his power be? It was probably interesting, everyone here had a more intruiging power than her.
(That's cool x see ya 😜)

"Ohhhh a shapeshifter?" Other abilities had always fascinated him, they made the stories he listened to so much more real. It was always fun to remind himself he was talking to real-life super heroes, and that he was one. "Well, that would explain why I didn't feel you coming. Animal minds are a lot simpler then human ones, but shapeshifters minds have so many layers! It's hard to pick them up." Where exactly was she? Somewhere to his left, going by her voice as well as her presence, he supposed. So she spent more time as an animal? That was pretty interesting, no doubt about it. If he'd be a shapeshifter, it''d probably be into a mole. "Oh, yes, I tend to notice things. Highly ironic, I guess, but I'm not complaining. I'm a visionary, the all-seeing-eye kind of guy. Lots of fun at parties." He joked, shrugging one shoulder, "Though I can't seem to 'see' you, so, where exactly are you?" Kell sat forward now, copper hair poking up from the grass
Skiing! It was pretty exciting! Though I spent most of it terrified honestly lol)

The group passed a thin hallway that led to a metal door with a sign saying "RESTRICTED" in bright red letters and a normal looking padlock hanging off it, Minnie stared at it "Where does that lead to?" She asked, casually. Her left hand crept into her bag and checked for her lock picking set. Funny thing, it wasn't there Oh well, I can manage- besides, it's probably nothing she thought. The people here seemed genuinely nice, and she wondered if she was over reacting.

Rosalynn nodded. "I wanted to like Highschool," she said. "I really did... But, it just didn't work out. I'm happy to be here, though. From what I've heard so far, it seems like a place of opportunity." Despite all the secrecy, she was starting to believe that this place would be one of the best she ever knew. "I've only just got here, but it seems like we're all just about in the same boat... You'll fit in," she said, smiling. "I'll be your friend, if you'd like.. I've never had friends before."

"Oh yes, blind as the day I was born." He removed his dark glasses to show off his frosted eyes, waving a hand in front of his own face. Assuming she'd seen, he put them back on, and they slide into his face as though they belonged there. "The power comes in handy, just because my eyes don't work doesn't mean I can't see. I just don't do it like other people." Kell admitted, placing one hand at the nape of his neck, feeling where his hair had been cut short. "It's why I rely quite a bit on voices, though I think I would've remembered your's, if I'd heard it before. It's quite sweet." He leaned forward and let his hands dangle between his legs, resting his cane across the top of his knees like a sceptre. "What do you look like? For future reference, if you don't mind me asking." He could find out himself if he focused, if he tried to invade her own mind and sort through memories, but it felt like a horrid thing to think of, having just met her, and she being so polite. No, it was better to just ask
It was fun but it was rlly tiring! I felt like I needed another holiday when it was over )

Lucille smiled, glad that she had a friend. "Thanks," she let out finally. "I haven't either." She gave an uneasy laugh. She didn't know what to think nor how to respond but she wasn't alone for the first time in however long- she couldn't remember and it was weird, but nice none the less.
She looked over at Minnie as she spoke. She hadn't really been paying much attention, granted she didn't spend much time in here as it was, she tended to be elsewhere and out of the way but shrugged. She didn't have a lot of answers. "Could be one of the offices. Or some books we aren't supposed to touch." She said.

IC :: Caleb had briefly nodded to Lucille before listening to the two girls talk. He was unsure how to really add anything into the conversation, but hey- listening was just fine. Plus, he had gone to school as long as he could... until being kidnapped and placed here. Even if it was for 'gifted' people. But yeah. Just listening.
And then he turned his head to see the other girl Lucille addressed- Minnie- by the door with a curious look on his face. "" Why aren't we allowed to touch some of the books?

Lucille looked over in surprise when Caleb finally spoke. He had been quiet since they came over here and she had almost forgot that he actually was still there. She cleared her throat. "Secrets," she said. "There are so many secrets. Secrets that I don't have the answer to and most of us here don't. They are keeping those books from us for a reason..." She trailed off. She never had any thoughts to go after them, see what they said, but now, she was getting curious. "But...I guess it's for the better. If they wanted us to read them...we would..." She looked back at the restricted sign. She wanted to see what was in those books. From the look on Caleb's face, it was obvious he did too.

"If they're so secret, why even keep the books here in the first place?" Rosalynn asked, desperately wanting to find out how she could get her hands on a few of them. "I mean, are they under lock and key? Are they heavily guarded...? I mean, we've all got powers. Can we... use them to get the books? Is that... allowed?" She guessed it probably wasn't allowed, for if the books were restricted, powers or no powers, restricted meant restricted. But still...

IC :: Caleb nodded in agreement to Rosalyyn. Something that others weren't allowed to see meant it was something important. And Rosalynn had fair points with a lot of that- but he was more curious to hear Lucille's answer. Well, he was more curious in all to know what was in them.

Lucille hadn't given it much thought before this. They had to keep the books somewhere she supposed but it was so easy if they wanted to just take them. "Well...it's not like we are allowed to use our powers here anyway." She said, although nothing was stopping them from doing so. "I assume it would be easy to take the book if we really wanted to...but they would notice." She said. "They have eyes and ears everywhere." The idea though, of breaking in, using their powers, seemed more and more appealing.
Guinevere had sat listening in. "Lucille's right," She said. She didn't like all this talk about secrets, especially not in the Safe House where anyone could hear them. It wasn't safe. "Listen, if we are going to continue this talk, we shouldn't be in here." She said. "Talking like this is not allowed. Holland would see to it." She looked around cautiously. "It's better to talk somewhere else," She pressed this matter once more. "Like I said, things are different now than they used to be."

Lucille nodded. "I think it's easier to think of it that way." She didn't want to believe that there were things being hidden from them. Especially not when this was their new home and that they would be here for lord knew how long. They deserved to know these things but if they weren't going to be told them, it was better to believe that there was a reason they didn't know. She just hoped the reason wasn't too big. "I agree with Guinevere though, we should head back to the dorms." She looked over at the older girl who nodded, put the book she had been reading back on the shelf and began to lead the way out of the library.

Taking a piece of chewing gum out of her bag, Minnie picked up the pace and was now walking with the rest of the group. It was nice to know everyone was on the same page. This place did sound a bit like a prison though. Minnie didn't mind much, but she would be a lot happier if she knew what was behind the doors. Maybe there's something here I could try to break the lock with she wondered, scanning the room for objects. nothing useful was in that room.Oh well She continued to walk next to the rest of the group, all the way to the dorms.

Guinevere stopped outside the dorms, glad to see that most of them had continued to follow after them. "We can discuss in here." She said before opening the door and then walking into the common room. There were no camera in here as far as she was concerned and they could talk more or less, freely about what they wanted. Of course they still had to be somewhat cautious but, not as much. She walked over to one of the couches and sat down. "If anyone has any questions, we can start with that." She suggested. "Otherwise, I can start with what I know and we can go from there."

(Haha hopefully you get another one soon! I'm glad you had as good time ) Natura winced as he asked him to describe herself... She knew a few words herself, but neither of them were appropriate. Sighing she decided to avoid the question for as long as possible, if that was indeed a possible outcome "I don't even know your name" she said, smiling now "and your already saying I have a sweet voice" she giggled to herself, quietly, and slowly looked up. She saw a boy, not too far away, sitting on the grass with his knees up. She spotted a cane across them, although there was no other evidence to show he was blind, as he had his back to her. Still looking in his direction, she spoke a little more confidently than before "mine's Natura by the way... If you wanted to know and you probably don't recognise me because I'm new here" She finished her sentence and returned back to sketching patterns on the frosted bench, becoming infinitely more comfortable with the conversation as the trivial introductory questions got out of the way

Minnie lounged lazily on one of the dorm room beds "Okay, lets start with the purpose of the safe house, outside of keeping us safe from the outside world. Are they training u for battle or to integrate into society? do we get to leave when we graduate? How do we graduate? You said 'they' have eyes and ears everywhere- who's 'they'?" Needless to say Minnie felt much more comfortable with the other students now, comfortable to ask what could be very sensitive questions like those.

Guinevere listened as both of them spoke. Both of them had good, valid questions, thankfully, ones that were not too pressing to answer although she wasn't too fond of really answering any of these questions but knew that she had to. She started with Minnie's questions and began to address them. "The original purpose of the Safe House, from what I learned when I got here years ago, was to train us so that we were able to use our powers properly, but also to protect us from the rest of the world." She said, "There is no graduation, per say. We don't graduate and, I haven't heard anything of when we leave. As far as I am concerned, we do not leave. This is your new home." She looked at her hands. "As you know, the government does not trust us to live among their people anymore. It is not safe for any of us out there, but it is safe here. One day, we will fight back I am sure and we will be able to live among them peaceably, but for now, their sole purpose is to get rid of us and for that, we need to be ready." She continued on. "They, is the government. The directors. You must have noticed things are a bit strange around here?" She said.
She turned to Caleb. "Like I said, things used to be different. It used to be more welcoming here and the director, he never kept secrets from us. One day, he disappeared and in his place, took Holland. He said that he Wayland had things to attend to and left on an urgent trip, with no telling of when he would return. I don't trust him though. Wayland wouldn't do that. Things are so much different with Holland and I really don't trust him. He doesn't seem to trust us either. He hardly talks to us. He doesn't do welcomes. He leaves us to our own devices. Those books you mentioned earlier, we used to be able to read them but, Holland locked the door now and we aren't allowed in. I've actually gotten in once." She said looking down. "When he first arrived, I was curious why the doors locked and I slunk into his office using my power, stole the key and I got in. I couldn't take anything of course, he would have noticed but..." She began to trail off.

"But what?" Minnie perked up, this would be useful information. Guinevere just kind of started staring into space,like she was lost in thought, right when she seemed to be telling them something very interesting, something they weren't supposed to know.

Minnie stared at Caleb. Initially she was annoyed that he kept on changing the subject, but she thought curiosity was very admirable, and the question he asked could be very important. Minnie never would have thought to ask, with her tunnel vision and all. There were a few heavy duty paperclips on the floor, so she picked them up. They could be used to pick a lock, if she needed to. She threw them in her bag, then looked at Guinevere expectantly.

Aria, who had been following them rather silently and without any intense focus, tuned back in when at the question about Holland's office. Many of the previous questions she'd know answers to in a general sense, not being as new as Caleb and Minnie. But she didn't know much about Holland. That was certainly something she could learn about. He'd been so secretive and separate from them she'd been tempted to use her power a time or two to see if she could learn anything. Of course, this urge had always been quashed by the draw backs of her power. It was much easier to get answers from other student's who'd done all the work already.

Rosalynn sat listening to them all, her fingernails digging into the soft flesh of the sofa. "I think this new guy - Holland - is up to something... I don't even know who he is, what he looks like, whatever... But he doesn't sound like the good guy here. I mean, why would he hole up all those secrets, take away all those books? Clearly, there's something he doesn't want us to know... And, I don't know about you all, but I want to know what it is. And, I think these books are where we've got to start..." When she finished speaking, Rosalynn bit her lower lip and then stared down at her hands, which had moved and were now held together on her legs. She wondered if she'd been too forward or said too much. She was only new to the safe house, so what did she know? But, it didn't hurt to speak her mind, did it? Slowly, she reached into the other's minds, listening for their thoughts, and she knew that they all felt just as confused as her. It gave her a little reassurance, and she quickly let go of the link.

"Well it's very pleasant to meet you, Natura. I'm Kell, Kell Carmichael." He gave a little wave, though it was wasted, considering she was behind him. It was always more difficult to work out where someone was outside. Outdoors had wind, and sky, and birds, and grass, all these living things that gave off a pulse, a presence. It was easier for him to 'see', sure, he didn't need his cane half as much, but at least indoors he only had to contend with plants and house pets when it came to locating life forms. The fact that she was a transformer made it more difficult too, those folk simultaneously had multiple minds at once, all those forms they could take, it was like trying to catch butterflies in a glass jar. "So, you're new? How are you finding the ol' island? Full of adventure and mystery?" When he'd first come here, this place had seemed to be another planet, all on it's own in the universe. Since then, he'd been disillusioned with government officials and the amount of borders and rules, but he could still remember how infinitesimal this place had made him feel at first
