"Hey now don't start crying on me," Sid said with a chuckle. Crossing his arms and glancing around them, he shrugged, "nah. I believe you. I'm sure that you would've hit me over the head by now, and I saw what you made those guys do to each other back there... how'd you manage that? Is that your power?" Sid queried, raising an eyebrow in interest. "Well... kinda," Mili said. She was still hesitant to trust Sid, but he seemed nice enough. Nicer than plenty of the other people she had met. "Basically, I create hallucinations. It's kind of hard, though, because they can see right through it if you're not careful. And it doesn't even work at all on some people." She sighed, running a hand through her hair. "I... tried it out on you," she admitted. "When I waved you into the alley?" Mili shuffled, somewhat awkwardly. "I wasn't sure if you were going to try and jump me or not..."

(Does anyone have an open character?) (You could try to jump in w/ Mili and Sid soon, depending where your character is.)

(I've already told someone no on that power sorry) Hmmm, ok. What about the ability to manipulate plants, Botanokinesis? XD)

((Yeah Misty jumping in with them would be no problem.)) "Oh. I see! I knew there was something funny going on when I saw you earlier. You didn't look exactly right..." Sid said nodding in understanding. "Hmm well that's pretty cool, I wish I had that power. Seems like you could set up some really funny situations," he wondered with a grin. "Jump you? Yeah I could see that happening. Cute girl like you alone in an alley could get in some trouble." Crossing his arms, Sid glanced around them then in a flash "boo!" He lunged at her, but stopped before making contact.

Mili flinched, quickly taking a step back before realising Sid meant no harm. "Yeah," she said, trying to brush off her reaction with a slight chuckle. "Alleys are dangerous places. But where else can we find refuge from... you know." Something about Sid's word choice was bothering her, but Mili just couldn't place her finger on it. "I suppose they're scrounging the alleys now. We'll probably need a new place to hide."

"Sorry. That might hit too close to home in a situation like ours," Sid said, shaking his head then leaning against the alley wall beside them. Looking up at the clear sky above he wondered, "These people trying to capture us really are a nuisance, but I wonder... if you have a power like mine, then how many more of us are there?" A few moments later, he pushed off the wall and nodded at what she had said, "yeah you're probably right. I usually spend my time camping out on roofs, but I'd love to get into a hotel. Unfortunately my power isn't good for that kind of thing, but it seems like yours would be. Have you ever tried to use your illusions to get a hotel room or something like that?"

"It's... complicated to explain," Mili said, averting her eyes. "I can't make anything in the illusions really... well, real. If a person tries to touch an illusory object, it isn't really there, so they can't. So I can't pretend to pay or something without real money. Which I don't have..." She looked upward as her brain began to move. "I guess I could pose as a customer who lost their card, but then I'd get caught pretty fast... I could make us 'invisible', but we still wouldn't be able to get in anywhere. Not to mention the strain of concealing us from all the other people there..." Mili snapped her fingers as it came to her. "If I posed as an employee, I could get behind the counter and pretend we paid for a room while giving a key card to you. You could 'buy' the room at the desk to prevent suspicion, and I would register us in for however long. The only thing I'd need to do is get a good look at some of the workers." She frowned suddenly. "How come I've never thought of that before?"

"Sounds like a solid plan to me," Sid replied, nodding in agreement, "We could get a room that'd last us a while..." He was practically salivating at the idea of a hot shower and getting to sleep on a real bed. In response to her question he chuckled and said with a grin, "Well you've never had a dashing sidekick to act as your partner in crime until now!" With a clap of his hands, Sid set off down the alleyway in the direction of the street, "I know just the place for us to go." ((Conveniently the same hotel that is currently occupied by the other group of characters. :3 ))

(So, should I put Cassie somewhere along their path to the hotel so they run into her and I can finally do something?)

Mili followed after Sid, every now and again surveying the area with a quick glance to make sure they weren't being followed. She didn't notice any suspicious people- at least, not yet. Quickly, she took another step closer to Sid, trying to look inconspicuous. "How much further?" she asked, a slight twinge of nervousness inching its way into her voice.
(Sorry it's shorter. I'll be on again later.)

"It should be just a few more blocks now," Sid replied, disguising his nerves a bit better than her, wanting to put on a tough front. He felt more confident remembering the knife that he had strapped to the underside of his arm. "There's no need to be worried. After you dispatched those guys back there it should take a bit of time for them to regroup and go out on the hunt again," he said, glancing back at her with a reassuring smile. Stopping at a crosswalk Sid pointed across the street at a fairly fancy hotel with around 20 stories. "We're going to stay at that place," he said grinning.

(I kinda want to give Misty a chance to jump in before we enter the building. Or while we're in the lobby or something. So I'm going to hold off responding until tommorrow.)

Cassie was sick of running from people and being suspicious of them. As a young woman of twenty-one, she was pretty much on her own, and, more often than not, it wasn't a good thing. She had no one to rely on for help, let alone anyone like her. It might have been nighttime, but the darkness didn't make her feel any more secure. In fact, it only made her more suspicious of people. Growing up, she had been told that nothing good happened at night, and she had learned that the hard way. While she hadn't found any trouble on this particular night, she felt it was only a matter of time. Her power, at times, could be difficult to control, and it often resulted in her feeling flashes of others' emotions and her eye color briefly becoming the same shade of navy blue as her hair.
The young woman had been alone for a majority of the evening (somehow - she had heard the gunshots from earlier), and she was tired of all the walking and jogging she had done. Cassie came up to an intersection, and before looking to see if anyone else was around, leaned against the pole for the crosswalk signals as she let out a sigh. She dropped her head for a moment before looking up and spotting Mili and Sid. She quickly stood straight and turned her attention to them, but not enough so that she was staring at them. The last thing she wanted was for them to become suspicious of her because she didn't want to deal with trouble.

"T-there?" Mili asked, shrinking back slightly. She couldn't help but be intimidated by the huge building. She hadn't seen something that big in... well, a long time. "Are you sure we shouldn't try someplace... You know, smaller?" She glanced around quickly, searching for another possible hotel. Her eyes briefly alighted on a girl watching them from across the street, but she quickly passed it over. "I'm sure there's another one... somewhere..."

Glancing across the intersection, Sid saw a girl looking back at them. Something seemed off about her in the same way as Mili. He wondered if she could possibly be like them. Hearing Mili's comment, he looked back at her. "Yep! That's one of the fanciest hotels in town," he said nodding assuredly. "Awww, come on. It's so nice! They have massive tubs... and free room service... and the beds are sooooooo comfortable... please can we stay here?" Sid said, begging like a child and giving her puppy dog eyes.

Cassie glanced down at the sidewalk and let out a sigh to herself as she pushed a hand through her hair. As she looked back up at Mili and Sid, she couldn't help but be jealous. To her, they appeared to be good friends, and that was something she hadn't had in a while. The young woman let out another sigh as her thoughts began drifting to her childhood when things had been simpler. She recalled a time when she had been afraid to jump off a somewhat high diving board at the community pool. The height intimidated her, and her childhood best friend had encouraged her to jump. As she thought of that, she began to pick up on Mili's intimidation of the hotel and her eyes began to glow navy blue. She swore to herself as she mentally pushed aside the memory and the feeling, but it was too late. Her powers had been exposed, and she prayed that the duo hadn't see that.

"Well..." Mili caved in at Sid's pleading face. "Alright." She cut off anything Sid might have said quickly, insisting, "Just a few nights! I don't want to-" A flash of navy blue caught her eye, and Mili sharply turned towards its source. The woman. Across the street, the faint glow in the stranger's eyes was already fading. But Mili had seen it. "I don't want to get caught," she finished hesitantly, looking to Sid to see if he had seen it to.
