Realistic or Modern Power School

[pugsmith]

"How is this all similar to a circus?" Heather started to speak, bouncing on her feet. "Not that they're all silly, but in the sense that popcorn is being thrown. A lot of it, but the popcorn is stale. The popcorn is also that caramel kind." She continues to talk, blinking rarely, standing still in a hallway. Her inner-outter monologue had deteriorated over time in the past few months, now being rendered to borderline-word salad. "How is this hallway like an oboe?" She asked to no one.

Nat looks at Sol curiously. "Sol? Are you okay? Look, don't worry about Yayna. I don't know very much about her, but it seems like she's afraid of trusting somebody. She doesn't like me very much, and it seems that she's taken a liking to you. If you want, you don't have to stay with me, you can go to her." She says, no matter how much she hated Yayna, she didn't want her to feel as bad as she had when her friend from middle school abandoned her.

"its not that, I have my worry's about her.... and then i have my worry's about you" his eyes glisten as he looks at her, it does not matter if he has just met these people, they were to be his friends and he had already decided that to be so, he steps in front of her as if to stop her " and so far you have been slightly nicer and more considerate, but I still don't understand why your powers seem to get in the way of you and yaynas relationship........ really its none of my business, but try to be careful with the friends you got..... including me" he gives her a big unsuspecting hug as if to reassure her everything was fine, he did not want to loose anyone.

Yayna struggled with the regular bed mattress. She got it half way off of the frame before sitting down, exhausted. Alright, she'd admit it. She didn't have a whole lot of muscle. She say in the floor trying to catch her beneath and listened to the random rambling if another girl. "Odd." She said, poking her head out of the door before noticing anther girl. She narrowed her eyes and dat back onto the floor in the middle of the dorm, the mattress hanging off half way and her water mattress sitting in the or along with her.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Her eyes widen when he hugs her. She hadn't been hugged in.. A really long time, she never let her mother hug her because she didn't want to hurt her. "Uh." She says, tears brimming in her eyes. She lets go of the hug and blinks back her tears. "It's not, that I uh. Hate her because of her powers, I just hate her powers. I'm... I'm, uh. Uncomfortable around water." She says.

 

[pugsmith]

Heather keeps rambling, as if answering her own riddles and jokes. There's a pause before the answers and the questions, and she asks "give up?" every now and then. Finally, she shook her head and adjusted her overcoat so that it didn't hang to the left quite as much. She mumbled a few things under her breath, but it was too muffled for even her to make out audibly. She goes from door to door, peeking into each classroom. Unfortunately for her, she was forced to skip Specialized Superhuman Health (SSH) class so she didn't learn too much about the mind. It was only for a semester, so she'd be back to PE soon enough. Soon enough. Soon enough.

He winces when he see's her tears, it make's him want to rip himself to pieces " im sorry... dont cry. Hey dark rooms make me uncomfortable, and if water makes you uncomfortable, then so be it" he says this drawing her against him, his body raises in heat once his skin touches her's, as if in reaction to her power, it gives him shivers as his body heat keeps rising, of course her's does not rise, but she does not have a chaotic secret like him. "also if you have a problem with water.... we could always try to fix it." he says his tone soft but his eyes almost hard, examining. He notices an offset in the balance of the school, there another person here know.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"Fix it?" She asks, she'd never even tried fixing her 'uncomfortableness' with water. Some even wondered how she showered, she had to set her body on fire in order to, nobody understood how that worked not even Nat. "How do you suppose we fix it?"

 

[pugsmith]

She looks through the window that the two were sitting in. She had just the riddle of this occasion. She rummages through one of her overcoat pockets, examining sheets of paper, one after another. Finally, she finds one she thinks was quite fitting.

"Q: How is intimacy like human life?

A: It starts out small, gets big, and goes out with a bang."

​

She puts it on the window, making sure it stays up. She continues to stare.

 

[neverin]

Sol notices a girl outside a window...... holding up papers that is taking about intimacy, odd. he looks at natalie and gives her a gentle shove " with me" It was a simple as that, he believed he could fix anything, he mended a birds wing before, he was pretty sure he could mend the part of her that was causing her to be afraid of water. " nat, nothing is impossible, just remember that, fantasy in the past has become reality many times, so! we just have to break through reality." his words were very philosophical and deep, but he felt as if they came of wrong.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Though she didn't understand all that he said she shrugged it off and walked with him. "Okay, so how are we going to do that?" She asks, adjusting her t-shirt. She tends to fidget with her clothing when she's nervous and she doesn't have music, seeing as she'd left her phone in the dorm room, she didn't have music.

 

[pugsmith]

She stares and stares. She doesn't even bother listening to their words as all she cared about was immediate reaction. She saw a confused look and that was all she needed to smile at them and get going. She left several more riddles on the window and walked off, looking for someone or something to interact with. As she left, she said, almost yelling, "what is this school's worst nightmare...? Shadows over water, of course!" She laughed casually and continued walking.

 

[neverin]

" repetitive encounters with what you fear, and a bit of magic along the way" he tries to make it sound as natural as when the sun comes up, but he knows that this will be hard, he promised something and he would stick with it to the end. Looking back over to the window he see's more notes, but no girl, maye she went away.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Nat follows his gaze, then looks at him curiously. "What are you looking at?" She asks, then shakes her head. "Never mind. What do you mean by repetitive encounters with what you fear? You mean you're going to dump water on me?" She asks, the tips of her hair igniting a bit, she wasn't angry, she was scared.

 

[pugsmith]

She keeps scanning the halls, bored. Peering into classrooms, she finds nothing more than kids being taught. She leaves a few riddles here and there. Finally, she decides to go back to where the other two were, knocking on the door, taking the riddles off the window -- most people never read them as they were cryptic in nature. "Hello!" But no one was there. Was it just another little blackout in her head? Probably. She grumbles to herself, a little sad. She needs to confuse someone.

 

[neverin]

"no, im going to let you do what you want, but I will ask of you to jump into a pool, until you no longer fear it, and if its to much.... I am here" sol's face flushes a deep crimson as he realizes how devoted he is to natalie, he tries to hide it, turning his face. He did not think it possible for him to like someone to the point where he was embarrassed just by acting a certain way to that person.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

(@pugsmith Solarice and Natalie are outside at the moment.)


A deep blush covers Nat's face and she takes her hair down to hide it. "Um, thanks." She says, then shuffles her feet a bit as she fiddles with the tail of her shirt even more.

 

[pugsmith]

[Ah, I apologize. My memory tends to spazz at times. Once again, sorry. I'll edit the post.]

 

[neverin]

"alrighte then" he says with a heave, and he picks natalie up and hefts her onto his shoulder, he wanted somewhere they could practice and also talk, and within an instant he was running to the back of the school, were a small stream lay out all the way across the country side, it was a beautiful site, but he was not here for that, setting her down, he gave her an up and down glance " ok take of your shoes, only your shoes though!" his voice is once again gentle and soothing, as if he knows what he is doing, really he is making it up as he goes.

 

[pugsmith]

A feeling hits her. Maybe there were people outside? That was a frabjous thought. She leaves the main buildings, looking up above her. They were in a glass bubble, nothing more, nothing less. It was entertaining to see all the animals, though. Whales, jellyfish, catfish, pretty much everything you could wish for. When it comes to aquatic life that is. She continues to roam the site before seeing two figures near a stream. She has a quick debate with herself over whether or not she should greet them -- out loud. Very loudly.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

She laughs as he carries her on his shoulder, and when he puts her down she couldn't hide a smile. She obediently leans down and unties her converse, then slips them off along with her socks. "Weird. I didn't think they'd have a stream, seeing as its well, underwater." She says, looking up at the top of the dome where fish elegantly swim by. She then shudders as she looks back at the stream.

 

[pugsmith]

She stands there still, zoning out and forgetting what she's doing. She drops a few of her riddles onto the ground, getting them wet, just like the entire school is. "Hello!" She tries to greet them again, hoping they're not just figments of her imagination. "How are you doing?" She looks over at them, awaiting a response for her to come over.

 

[neverin]

"yeah, but they added it to make us fell as if we were not, kinda like hiding what your really in by giving you a smaller version of it... if that makes sense" he lets her untie her shoes, and he unties his as he steps toward the lake, as his feet touch the water his muscles relax. Then they tense as a girl tries to speak to them, its a far off person. And its a female, he wave's her over as he looks at natalie " we have a guest... Hey come here, not into the water, but beside it" as he says this he hides a mischievous smile.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Her heart beat gets faster and her breath catches in her throat as she slowly walks towards the water. Just the moisture on the grass beside the stream made her tense and her hair ignite. "Crap." She says, trying to make it go back down, but it doesn't work.

 

[pugsmith]

She runs over to where the two are, smiling at them. She looks down at the stream, examining each rock. After this initial scan she asks "how is this creek like this school?" She picks a pebble off of the ground, holding the cold mass in between her hands before tossing it in. "A single pebble cant stop it. Many people building a dam, however, can." She got into a shallow part of the stream so that only her feet were wet, and started to pick up rock after rock, getting to work. "You can help me block this if you'd like. Unless it's important to the school, of course."
