"Nice one," laughed Theo, not getting that he was in part the butt of the joke, he gave an innocent shrug and laughed with everyone else.
-----
Ooc: I think when moony-sweetie is around well be moving on to....
TEAMS (this is your cue to pee yourself with excitement)
Oh and PM ME YOUR CODE NAME with your characters name in the title please. Or send it to Moon. Make it good, cause everyone is going to call you that. Also might want to consider a costume, it don't have to be spandex or anything, you don't need a full on description (although those are nice for you to post sometime), or a pic.

oOc: Can't you do teams the next day? Dividing teams after making everyone demonstrate their power and sit through an Orientation is overkill and frankly unrealistic considering everyone just got off the bus, lol.
_________________________________
As more students went, Chloe remained against the tree. She didn't really like displaying her powers, Chloe often compared it to pulling her on stage and stripping all her clothes off. Still, Chloe wanted to get settled in and if Ace had already gotten in her room-heaven knows how he had pulled that off, he'd had to have stolen a key from the student center-there was no telling what was going on in there now.
"I'll go..." she suddenly piped up. When the crowd turned and looked at her, she suddenly felt hot and the tiny burst of sweat droplets under her arms. She took a deep breath, coolly eying the stage.
"I am Chloe Sorel, no?" The French girl introduced herself before reaching behind her and clamping her hand to the giant oak tree. Chloe kicked off her feet and cartwheeled on to the trunk before swiveling around and effortless scaling it as she were completely horizontal. Chloe pushed off the trunk and caught a hold of a skinny branch that was protruding out of the thicket. She flipped around before finally planting her feet on it and gracefully spreading her hands as it bended under her weight. A few freshmen sucked in their breath, expecting the branch to snap but Chloe continued her fluid motion by leaping into the air. She seamed to soar from the tree over the stage before softly landing right on the professor's soldiers.
"Bonjour Professor!" She sang as she sniffed Professor Samson's hair. She imprinted his scent in her memory before climbing down, quickly swiveling around his body like a snake and skidding back on the floor in a squat. Chloe then popped up, deciding that her quick display of athleticism was more than enough.
"Le chat grande," she cryptically announced in her breathy voice with a shrug.
"BRAVO!!!" Vera cheered as she and Nik clapped furiously.
Chloe rolled her eyes as she jumped off the stage and made her way back to the tree. She'd been far from flashy and Chloe was quite sure that most of the new students were confused to exactly what her power was: the ability to climb trees? What?
Hell, even Chloe herself wasn't quite sure of the extent of her powers, but that's what excited her about them. But that was hardly important. What was important was that she'd re-familiarized herself with most of the Professor's scents and would be able to sense them for miles. That would come in handy, especially for tonight.
She smiled a little to herself as she made her way back to where she'd been standing.

Dividing teams after making everyone demonstrate their power and sit through an Orientation is overkill and frankly unrealistic considering everyone just got off the bus, lol. Ooc: That's what time skips are for. Besdies, being on a team doesn't mean you're being jetted off on missions yet. It means people will have a chance to lay foundations for arguably their most important relationships. But alas, don't worry, I don't think Moon and I will have it together (or will want to move too fast) before people get a chance to socialize (although that's all we've done, remember the chaos of the cafeteria/auditorium?) but we soon want to give people an opportunity to actually do things. ----- Theo held back the desire to applause. He paid a great deal of attention to Chloe, but he wasn't sure why. There was something mysterious about her. Still, Theo wasn't one to get caught up in those types of thoughts - he lacked the reflective nature required. He looked around, figuring almost everyone had stepped forward. There were only a few students left. Theo also wanted to ask Ace about his plans for the evening. |

And then, a blond haired student stepped forward. He was wearing sunglasses and chewing a toothpick, his hands in his pockets. As he approached the front of the little gathering, he turned around, observing everybody.
"Huh." He said, spitting out his toothpick. The boy; or man, whatever he was, slowly took off his sunglasses, revealing his blue eyes. "My name... is Genji. Genji Hiroshi... and my power is..." Within an instant, he disappeared within a flash. Just like with Robert, everybody thought a teleporter, but they were skeptical. Within a few seconds, Genji reappeared, his stomach noticeably bigger. He held it closed, and everybody couldn't help but wonder why there were many things pointing out of his shirt.
"My power... IS SPEED!" He yelled, giving the crowd two peace-signs. Without support, his shirt loosened, and at least 60 different wallets, watches, Roberts, necklaces, rings, earrings, and... wait, Roberts? Sure enough, at the top of the pile was Robert, the shrinking boy from earlier. He had gotten picked up by Genji, mistakened for a valuable.
"I'm so much faster then you all, none of you can touch me!" He let out a hysterical laugh, fixated in his own world. In the presence of the boy's ego, everybody felt slightly retarded, and slightly pissed. They wanted their stuff back.

oOc: All I'm saying is slow the pace a little and let everyone get a chance to let all the information being bombarded at them sink in before you split everyone off into teams and cart them somewhere else. That was pretty much what Kai was talking about in the other thread.
The interpersonal relationships are important but come in time, no reason to rush or force it.

Drake kept looking over at Chloe. "I'm not completly sure what her powers are..anybody else know? You know what I'm just gonna go ask her..." He walked over to where Chloe was standing being all angry looking, but when she introduced herself she revealed she was French so it made sense. He cautiously approached her. "Um..hey..I was just wondering, what's your power?" he gave off a little smile.

Fayth slowly walked back into the crowd, thanking baby Jesus along the way that those extremely creepy kids had jumped in before someone asked to actually see her power. However as she walked through the crowd looking for her brother, a few people she passed seemed extremely interested in it.
"Hey! Laser girl!" one boy yelled over to her. "I wanna see you shoot one off!"
Fayth continued looking for Drake, the blush that had formed earlier on her face still very visible as she pushed through the crowd.
"Hey come on, why don't you do it? It sounds pretty cool," one girl said to her as she walked past. Yet again, the only response Fayth gave her was a quiet, nervous chuckle. Where the hell is he?? the girl thought to herself, now searching a bit more frantically before a whole mob formed demanding that she shoot a laser at something.

"Haha that girl is like a kitty!" She said pointing to the one who had just climbed up a bunch of trees. "Everyone else seems so strong....Makes me feel weaker, but maybe that is just the lack of blood, hehe...." She said giggling a bit. They both walked under a tree and just leaned there as they watched all the people show their powers.

"Um..hey..I was just wondering, what's your power?" he gave off a little smile. Chloe pushed her hair behind her ears and eyed him coolly before replying, "I'm a big cat," A few people found her description to be comical but she was very serious. She slightly turned towards him and leaned her shoulder against the tree. He'd been popping up in her life a whole lot since their first encounter...or maybe they'd met before? "I'm sorry...uh...do I know you?" she asked, lowering her already soft voice as if she were attempting to save him some face. |

They both walked under a tree and just leaned there as they watched all the people show their powers. A few moments after drinking Lillian's blood and feeling her up, he found himself sitting next to her against a tree. The wound he inflicted on his hand earlier had disappeared due to drinking her blood. He wasn't tired no longer, he just wanted to rest anyway. "A cat, huh?" |

Genji looked down on his pile of wallets and crouched, picking up the small Robbie. "Huh? What's this? A midget?"
"Hey." Walking up to meet Genji was Raines; he had noticed Robert disappeared from his shoulder as soon as Genji finished. "He's not a midget."
"Then what is he?"
"A fairy."

"Finally!!" He panted, making it to the back of the group in the auditorium.
It seemed everyone had showed their power since no one was jumping up on stage. Throwing his shades over his eyes, he made his way through the crowd, walking up the stairs to the stage.
"How you been doing Sammy?" He smirked, walking up to the mic brimming witth confidence.
Ace was not afraid of such things as standing before his peers, teachers, or anyone for that matter.
"Yo, the name's Ace Spade." He started, pushing his sun glasses up to the top of his hair, thinking it would be best for the babes to see his eyes. "I'm eight inches....soft, the endurance of an Ox, and experience that shadows everyone else here....oh and I can control and use ice. It's cool I guess, especially when I want to play hockey in the summer. Peace, love and honey buns." With a peace sign he walked off the stage.

"I'm not either!" Robbie yelled his hands flapping in frustration although at his height (or any) it was hard for the boy to come of as intimidating.
As Ace finished Samson walked up to the mic and forced a smile "Thank you for that short and, I'm sure, highly exaggurated self description Mr. Spade." he looked around at the crowd "Has everyone gone or are their still a few stragglers?"

Calvin snickered a bit at Ace's speech. Mostly because he used the Indian girl's mind reading powers and learned of the exaggeration for himself. He honestly didn't even really mean too. It was just powers like that were prone to going off without him wanting too, so he needed something to focus on or have the entire student body's thoughts going through his head. Which he could imagine wasn't a good time.
Meanwhile, Sora was in the back, watching Kung-Fu clips on his iPod Touch. He then realized that he still had to go. "Oh, wait, I haven't gone yet!" He shouted, jumping up, shoving his iPod into his pockets before any teachers noticed, and ran on stage. "Hello, my name is Sora Sonic. I have the power of adoptive muscle memory. Basically, anything I see that I can physically do, I can do it. Of course with anything, it'll deteriorate in time, so sadly I can't instantly become an expert in anything."
He then took the opportunity to show off a bit, performing various martial arts and parkour moves with ease, he eventually began what could only be described as monkeying around the stage, climbing up and jumping from place to place with ease, before finally jumping directly into an isle, rolling to soften his fall.

Avery, while quietly sitting by noted the fact that most of the students had iPods. Then again she remembered that they were quite common in her old school as well. Feeling a ring and a vibration, she checked her pockets and took out her iPhone, seeing that it's her mother calling.
"Mom? Yeah, I'm at the school. No, no one's hurt me. No, I haven't hurt anyone. No, I'm not in class, we're still doing introductions and stuff. Yes I've eaten. OK, love you, bye."
Ending the call, seeing that most were seemingly plugged in she decided to follow along, taking out headphones and finding a decent enough song to relax to.

"Oh I'm sorry. No, I'm Drake Shadows.." he said holding out his hand smiling. He really wanted to get to know this girl for some reason, he knew he must appear to be some sort of psycho stalker with the way he's popped up in front of her several times since they've been here.

Chloe stared at his hand as if she didn't understand but suddenly took it and pulled him closer to her. She leaned up and kissed him on each cheek and replied, "Nice to meet you, I am Chloe,"
She introduced herself besides the fact she was quite sure he knew her name. She then pulled away, hooking her thumbs on her jean's belt loops and slightly arched her back in a stretch, "Are you a...transfer?"
Despite her usually obliviousness to everyone else, Chloe did have a great memory when it came to scents and she'd never came across his until today.

Ooc: I believe we're down with power introductions, so if that's true, we can release the students to go to their dorms or explore campus, perhaps? I'd say its evening in the story. I can also explain the buildings and locations that you'd find on the campus, so if nobody has objections....

"Nah, I was here last year, just not very sociable or happy for that matter." he said looking off to the side slightly. "To be honest this is the first time I've seen you around as well, strange..." he put his hands in his pockets. "So a big cat huh? What all can you do?"
