Calvin sighed a bit as a sudden grouping of guys gathered around him the moment he spoke to the girl. He hoped this would be the only time he'd be cockblocked so badly. "Hello guys, I'm Calvin." He said, before acknowledging the newest one's direct question.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just being around all these powers, it really gets to me. I'm a power mimic, all this stuff going through me at once is going to take some getting used too." He said, before shaking both Drake and Raines's hands. He shrunk his arm down to size to shake hands with Robbie, but as he tried to make his arm change to normal, his entire body spontaneously shrunk to Robbie's size before completely returning to normal. Calvin shook his head a bit as he processed what happen. "Sorry about that. Lost control for a second. I don't have as much control over a power as the original owner does, so I can kind of spaz out at times. That's why I'm not too keen on copying a fairly dangerous power."

Having sat by observing the team, Avery noted and was excited to see all except Phil, the only one she knows who isn't a Core member. He also looks somewhat familiar in some ways as well, but she can't quite put her finger on it, though she does note that Firehawk didn't sound too happy at his name.
After the speech was over Avery tried to find a roommate. Seeing that she was sitting next to Nadya she decided to take the chance to go through this quick and asked...
"Um... Excuse me? Want to be um... Roomies?"
"Little bastards. Don't know what they're in for. Well, see ya, Walt."
Giving Walt a pat on the shoulders, Phil proceeded to go lay in his Classroom, not wanting to deal with them until he had to teach them. He also had a glass of Bourbon and a book he had to finish if memory should serve him.

Theo was about to head over when he was distracted by a beautiful woman entering the cafeteria. Among the girls of the class, save maybe Chloe, there was a clear distinction between her and the others. Her air was just so dynamic and yet controlled, adventurous and mature. Unfortunately, not only was she a professor, she was with the Dean.
-----
Walt and Allison entered the cafeteria quite casually, as if they weren't professors amidst the students, or even the heroes they spent every day being. They had ditched their formal wear for far more casual outfits. Walt in jeans and a tee with "Forever, Fornever" written on it, a popular TV series, while Allison wear a skirt and white button up blouse, giving each a "girl/boy next door" attractiveness. They talked as they walked past the student body, some of them the students looking expectantly for them to address everyone.
"I've never even been to Iowa, Walt, let alone in that sort of-"
"We'll keep trying, I'm sure things will get better. Viera has her heart set on it," he said, interrupting her as he picked up a tray. She began placing items on it as they continued their conversation.
"You seem to be getting along well," she pointed out.
"You know me, that's just how I react in those situations," he said, feigning embarrassment.
"Ugh, you're such a golden boy."

Nadya looked at Avery for a second. Technically, she had nobody else to room with. She thought about it, smiled, raised her finger and said...
"Nope!" With that, she walked off, smiling.

Smiling underneath her mask, Avery told her...
"It's OK. I'll find someone else who's not a bitch."
She wandered around to find someone who would agree to be roomies, but really, who'd want to be roommates with Little Miss Disease? As she proceeded to get piled with rejection upon rejection (something she had forseen), she decided to just first get a room in the dorms before going to the Cafeteria.
Arriving at the first empty room she saw, she sat her stuff alongside and without anyone looking, she emitted some small acid from her hands to write upon one of the beds...
"Property of Typhus".

A couple of hours later, Nadya was about to cry. Everybody she asked had denied her; she even seriously considered asking that bitch from the bus. Sighing, she walked into a supposedly empty room, her head hung low. She took the bed closest to the floor and sat down, unaware of Avery's presence.

Looking at Nadya entering, she shrugged her shoulders and thought...
"Well, problem solved I guess?"
While still unpacking her stuff Avery asked...
"So... Something wrong?"

Surprise, she looked up with a dumbfound look to see Avery, the only girl who asked her and the only girl she originally didn't want to room with. "Oh, it's you... I'm sorry... I'll just leave." Sighing, she picked up her bag and walked toward the door, sobbing.

Sighing, she cleared her throat and told her...
"Look, you can stay here. I... Just come on... Now what's wrong..."

Turning around, Avery could see Nadya was in tears. Nadya, in response to her peer's kind words, walked back to the bed and sat down, continuously trying to stop her crying by rubbing her eyes.
"I've been here for a while, back when I was ten. the young ones are separated from us teachers, so we didn't get to pick who we slept with back then. I figured this year, I'd be able to room with one of the cooler girls, and then I'd be popular. I'm not... I don't have many friends... here." The girl corrected herself, continuing with her story. "I'm sorry I told you no... I guess I don't appreciate people like you enough, I probably made you feel horrible, right?" Her crying came to a close, with a sniffle all two all that was left was her sore, red eyes.
"I guess we're in the same boat then, huh? I got denied, too... heh. What's your name? We never traded names... jeez, I'm so rude. My name's Nadya Starosta. I can manipulate gravity. What about you?"

Happy to have her cheering up, Avery told her...
"Avery here. I already chose a field name. Typhus. I'm... Sort of a Human flu I guess and I can make acid."
She indicates to the writing she made with said acid on the bedpost, indicating "Property of Typhus".

She chuckled, smiling at Avery. Suddenly, she began rubbing her head. All the crying had given her a headache.
"Hey, whaddya say we go to the cafeteria? I'm kinda hungry." Nadya said, standing up. She was pretty hungry, and she'd guess Avery was too.

Feeling quite peckish, Avery said...
"Yeah, I want to see what they have. It's not going to be like other cafeteria food where pizza tastes like rubber with tomato sauce or something, right?"

Wow guys, way to totally fuckin move on without me. Very nice. Alright so now I have no idea wtf i'm rooming with or anything.
________________________________________________________
After the assembly, out of pure boredom and confusion, Fayth decided to head to the cafeteria, although she had not even bothered to check who her roommate was yet. Also she would not have minded at all if Drake would show his face somewhere. However instead of finding him there, she seemed to instead find the attention of several boys at once, the first of them being that boy who seemed to be in pain all the time.
The girl smiled at him nervously, all of the sudden attention embarrassing her just a little bit. "Oh, hi!" she responded to him, right as a second boy came up, getting right in both of their faces. To him, she merely responded with a sort of "Uh.." sound. It was then that she heard her brothers voice from somewhere in the forming crowd of testosterone.
"Drake?" she called out, gently pushing past one of the boys to see her brother. "There you are! Where have you been? I've been looking for you this whole time!"

Drake gave off a smile, "Looking for you?" he asked in question. He knew his sister would hit him for ditching her, but he'd buy her a present and everything would be good again. "I checked out my room, my roommate is someone with powers like mine but he uses his hands instead of shadow." he smiled even bigger ready to be smacked any time. "So have you met anyone interesting?"

"No, Drake," Fayth quickly snapped back, her bright blue eyes glaring at her brother slightly. "I've been so busy looking for you this whole time that I haven't even found out who i'm rooming with yet... You jerk."
Just as he expected, she then gave him a weak little punch in the gut that, due to her small frame, he probably hardly even felt.

OOC: Student + Professor? You crazy, son! They live in different dorms anyway. She can either hitch up with Yun, Chloe, or an NPC girl she could make up (or this Jennifer).

"Hey, you guys have been here before, right?" Theo asked, poking his nose into the business of the Shadows siblings. He grinned widely and expectantly, like turning him down would hurt his feelings.

Drake kept smiling, "I'm so sorry." He said giving her a hug. He then rubbed his stomach. "You're getting stronger." He knew she'd get over it, she always did.

Fayth couldn't help but smile back at Drake as he apologized and gave her a hug. "Whatever," she giggled slightly as she heard a boy she had also noticed before speak to her and Drake. She turned towards him a little more, stuffing her hands into the pockets of her hoodie. "Yeah, we came here sometime last year after we uh..."
The paused, her eyes drifting towards the ground as she started thinking about what had happened only just a year ago. For the moment she even forgot she was talking to anyone as she became lost in her own thoughts, a thing common for her these days.
