Milo finally thought he was going to get some peace from people attempting to pick fights but he was quite mistaken. Next thing he knew he was on the ground looking up into some angry females face. He growled as he attempted to forget the pain now he felt in the back of his head. He quickly pulled himself to his feat and turned his attention fully to Danae deciding to ignore the new girl for a while.

"I am NOT going to take some answer from some damn annoying FEMALE!" He said staring straight into Danae's face and attempting to get as close as he could.

"Now why dont you lay off, for I promise you, I am NOT going to apologize to these busy bodies, you included." He said as a tiny spark came out of his finger. He felt like hitting the girl back, but he really didnt want to start a fully out brawl in a place like this, and especially with a girl. After all, even Milo had SOME limits.

"And as for the record, I am fully aware that i have a dirty mouth, so what does it matter to you? Am I stepping on some sort of pet peeve of yours? I can tell by your strength to throw me on the ground that you arent exactly miss goody-tissues there. I am sure she would have gone running home crying by now from all the bad words I have thrown out already." He said glancing and realizing he still had quite the crowd.

Meanwhile, as Milo's tirade of colorful language just proved her point further as he scrambled back to his feet, Annika just sipped on her smoothie with a wry smile. She swallowed and set her smoothie down to dig in her pockets her dark eyes betraying mischeif.

"Ah, Danae. Welcome to the world of the living. You're quite right about our friend here. But I do believe this can be solved in a peacful matter if we are quick to treat his very advanced case of BBS. I have just the thing!" the girl commented authoritively.

And so quickly she grabbed Milo's hand, putting what she'd rummaged out of her pockets into his palm, winked, then started to back away still smiling happily. "I do hope you two have fun!"

She'd given him a half used packet of Midol.

[Jaina]

Milo glanced at his hand curious what the heck the stuff was. He wasnt exactly the most experianced man with the ladies, being as though most women were afraid to talk to the 'weird guy' in High School. But then again there is always the fact he was barely there also. He read the name to himself whispering it slightly.

"mi-dol." He mumbled and glanced at the girl with confusion. "What the heck is THIS?" He asked her angry but yet curious at the same time.

"Some sort of chick drug? What the heck will it do? Suddenly make me into some quiet little meek guy with shit for brains?" He said tossing it back at the girl.

"No thanks, I am not trusting anything from YOU women." He said referring both to Danae and Annika.

[Selena]

"Don't worry your pretty red head over it," Danae replied to Milo. "It just removes the bitchy symptoms, if you get my meaning."

Danae crossed her arms, now feeling as if she was in complete control of the situation. This guy was nothing. Even though that spark from his finger had interested her somewhat. She'd barely noticed it, but the sudden movement had drawn her eyes down to his hands. So he was a magic user, then. Probably spoiled beyond belief in thinking that he was better than everyone else. An uberhuman that could impose his will on others. But not on Danae, he couldn't!

She then turned back to her roommate and managed a smile. "Midol, eh? A nice move, if I do say so. I forgive you for waking me up early, now. Wanna go get something to eat?"


Danae then noticed the other people that Milo had been entertaining, so to speak, and grinned. "Sorry about the disturbance. Nevermind little old me."

[Delphi]

Waving to the little group that had gathered and to their victim, Annika nodded to her roommate as she continued to enjoy her smoothie. Scooping up the offending pills, she stuffed them back in her pocket. Waste not.

"See you later...Bishi," she called back to Milo, waving over her shoulder.

"Well I could use something else that's not completely packed with sugar. Something with caffine maybe. Keep me awake. Lead the way, roomie." Maybe she could get along with the "vampire".

[Jaina]

Milo blinked a few times. It was the first time he could really say he had actually failed to win an argument and with women at that! He glanced back at the girls intrigued. He took a mental note of at least one of the girls names that he caught: Danae.

He glanced at them again and scratched his head. "Well, that was refreshing." He thought to himself thankful that at least he hadnt lost his temper to bad as if to cause his powers to lose control.

"Damn women." He mumbled and pushed past everyone to return to his food since after all, a good argument always makes him hungry

[Phoenix Reborn]

Rek grinned triumphantly to see he wasn't the only one standing up and out. He sat on the table he was violently shoved into, now hands at his side wanting to mess with this guy so bad.

He eased off the table, walking by this red head character grinning.

"Well, since you seemed to have enjoyed my oatmeal more than I did, I think I will go get some more lunch." He laughed as he bent down, picked up his bag with his sandwich in it, and started to walk out of the restaurant. He turned at the last second to add a quick quip to the situation once more.

"Oh, and don't worry about how much that oatmeal cost, you don't have to pay me back. It was on me. Well, on you now." He grinned happily, completely satifgied with himself now.

[Selena]

Danae walked up to the counter and looked at all of the foods available to her. She raised an eyebrow as she thought. Maybe a nice apple turnover, or something so simple as a donut? Alas, so many choices, so little time. She finally settled on a cinnamon bun.


"Give me one of those please," she said to the person on duty, and then handed the cash over. She grabbed the pastry and clutched it possessively.


Danae then took a step to the side so that her roommate, whatever her name was, could choose something. What was her name again? Anna? Anakin? Something like that. Oh well. She'd hear the name said again later on. Until then, she'd be using pronouns and 'hey you.' At least she appeared to be witty. That was tolerable. Or at the very least, she wouldn't have to kill her for being preppy.


"So, you seem like a mild smartass at least. You have that going for you," Danae said in a cool tone as she took a bite of her food. "Well, might as well get the boring introduction part over with quick. I'm Danae. I'm a pyromaniac and a bully. Well, an anti-bully, I suppose. Depends on how you look at it. My favorite movies are generally anything involving samurais or violence."


Danae then smiled. "Your turn."

[Jaina]

Milo decided his best plan of action for the moment was just to ignore the morons comments about him paying for the oatmeal. He glanced his eyes over at the guy as he left with his sack of food. He wondered why the heck the guy would have TWO meals? Oh whatever floats his boat, or maybe he just had a mean appetite and was attempting to conceal some rolls in his side with an overly large shirt.

He glanced over at the ladies listening to their introductions finding them much more amusing then crazy oatmeal guy. He bit into his danish and listened quietly glancing once and a while at the crowd hoping they would get the idea to all leave by now.

[Delphi]

Annika ordered a small coffee and cheese danish as she tossed her empty smoothie cup into a trash bin. She offered her debit card in return and as she wait for the receipt to print to sign she leaned on the counter.

"Good taste in movies. Though I have to ask: did you enjoy seeing Tom Cruise get the crud beat out of him as much as I did in The Last Samurai? Totally worth the 8 bucks even if it was fake," she commented as she grabbed the receipt and signed it quickly in scrawling left handed cursive and took back her card. She grabbed the nearest seat and sat down with her food and waited for her coffee to cool down.

"Well now about me...I'm Annika, a military brat who's lived too many places. I have an older brother trying to get into the Navy Seals, I believe is what he said. I've nicked named him the emo-jock. So as you can probably tell, I've had much practice torturing people like our last victim. Mom's a scientist, and Dad is naturally in the military. I played soccer in highschool and did some martial arts but that's about as into sports as I get. And whaddya know, I'm a pyro too. Oh, and the superiority complex between ALL the houses makes me sick. I watch just about anything but chick flicks...unless stuff blows up in the chick flick. Then I may find it tolerable. That's about it. Everything you may or may not have wanted to know about your new roommate."

She gave a "ta da" gesture and decided that was enough talking. That danish was calling to her.

[Phoenix Reborn]

After just a glare from the perturbed red head, he turned around, still happy about the outcome, and took his leave. He left the building through the front doors. As soon as he got out, he noticed the guy who introduced himself as Tony a bit earlier talking to someone who wasn't there.

He walked over to him casually. As soon as he closed in on Tony, he was overcome with the familiar feeling that someone was there, but couldn't be seen.

"Good call on that..." He simply said to Tony, refering to transporting him and the real culprit out. He grinned. "Sorry for kinda leaving so quickly, I had to see what was going on with all the shouting." Rek added, wanting to make it clear that he wans't trying to avoid conversation.

"So is he going to show himself or not?" He asked kindly.

"Don't worry, the hot head has been defused for now" adding jokefully. He smirked, remembering the group of people standing up to the bully.

[Toan]

Toan sat in momentary silence as the surrounding actions unfolded. Oatmeal on one person, another one disappearing, another admitting to the oatmeal, another two appearing and tossing around a package...

Toan's eyes followed the package, which landed on the red-haired fellow and opened up, exposing on small blue-

Candy! Toan thought excitedly. Scooping it up, he almost put the blue delight into his mouth when a voice woke up in the back of his head, whispered "They helped you, y'know" and promptly vanished.

Looking at the small blue treat in his palm, he hear "Sorry about the disturbance. Nevermind little old me."

Toan looked up and noticed the two girls had walked away, back up to the River Wide Bakery counter. He stammered for a second, uttered a quick "See ya 'round" to Daniel, and stepped past the red-head, his eyes, for once, concentrated on something: the two chattering girls.

Standing aside them for a moment, he glanced somewhat nervously, gulped, and said cheerfully "Hey, thanks!" The zora held out his hand, palm open with the small, and now hovering slightly, blue jelly bean and said "You dropped your candy." He looked at them with a tint of apprehension, daresay fear, in his wide eyes.

[Delphi]

"Eh?" Annika looked at Toan's hand and the "candy". For a moment she just stared at the floating pill, a puzzled look on her face. Then she snickered. Then her shoulders started to shake as she bagan to start laughing hysterically. It took a moment to calm down and she hoped she hadn't scared the zora off. Still snickering she plucked the pill from the boy's palm.

"It wasn't a problem," she answered, a few gigglings following. "But well...this isn't candy. -snerk- It's-Well let's just say men don't have to worry about taking these pills. I certainly wouldn't take it if I were you!"

Finally gaining control of herself again, Annika held out her free hand.

"I'm Annika."

[Toan]

"I'm Toan!" he said, shaking her hand as a wave of relief rushed over his body, revealing itself in a grin that flashed across the Zora's face.

He turned to the other girl and politely inquired, "What's your name?"

[Selena]

Danae was about to reply to her roommate, please that she was also a pyromaniac. They could definitely have some fun with that! Perhaps they could do some late night arson when all the good little children were asleep. But before Danae could really manage a reply, they were interrupted.


And from that point on, no matter what this new individual did, she could only stare in awe. She'd never seen anything like it. No, not the Midol! Just... him!

Danae muttered something at long last, but all she could say was, "....Talking fish."

[Toan]

Toan looked in amazment - never before had he heard such a unique name.

"Well, I'm Toan, and I hope we get along, Talking fish!"

Toan thought for a second and asked "So where are you staying? I'm in the Tides....or... Ocean..." He trailed off and frowned to himself. What was it called?!?! x_X

[Ken the Wandering Soul]

Daniel gave a small nod/bow to Toan and muttered a quick "Good-Bye" as the zora left for the counter.

Daniel then thought over what had just happened. He took in all of what happened, cause, effect, and everything in between. Daniel did not like messing with other people's affairs, but he felt to obliged to do otherwise. He took a napkin and pulled out a pen, writing on it.

It takes more to make an ally than it does to make an enemy. Expect to recieve what you give.

Daniel then got up when Milo was not looking, and dropped the napkin at the red-head's table. He then promptly walked out the store and went on his out of the food court and stopped mid-stride when he passed Rek.

"A lie is foolish, no matter what the context."

He then continued on, starting to extend his wings in preparation of going to his next class.

Tony was wating for the boy to fade back. It seemed that this kid was even more shy than he was. But at least there was someone else to talk to.

"Thanks for taking the blow for the kid. You couldn't 've known what was going to happen. I had the easy job. "

This guy seemed like he was nice. Come to think of it, they were all nice, if a little bit overemotional. Apart from that bully. Tony wouldn't have to deal with him though, he had friends now. Bullies hated groups.

"Sing us a song your the piano man..." He started to sing, not knowing why.

[Dan Smith]

Vincent faded in, after several minutes of effort. His face was swimming in sweat, and he was breathing heavily. His hair, while normally unkempt, was wild, sticking in at least five different directions. Adjusting his glasses, Vincent looked from one unfamiliar face to another. The sick, unpleasant feeling in his gut came back for the first time since the train, and the urge to be sick was only rivaled by the urge to fade again. In a remarkable show of courage, Vincent managed to do neither, and attempted to speak.

"I... thanks..."

Lowering his head, Vincent propped his elbows on his legs, pressing his glasses into his palms. He knew it would leave marks, but smudged glasses were the least of his problems at the moment.

[Goose]

"Dont worry. Anytime. I'm Tony. One of your fellow Hawks. Thats why I could see you. We 're alike you and I, Stick by me and I"ll stick by you. Deal?"

He held out his hand.

[Phoenix Reborn]

Rek, who has turned his head to reply to the comment the quiet man with wings had said, now turned back around to what was now going on. He figured it wasn't worth the effort.

The "thing" had now faded back in, and he realized it was a guy.

"Well, nice to see you have joined us again." Rek smiled after the kid had murmured thanks, indefinately awestruck at all that had just happened.

"I'm Rek. I don't have much special about me except a good head on my shoulders." Rek lied, trying to force himself to think it was true. Who knows, maybe some people here could read minds or feel thoughts and emotions like him.

"I live with the regular students in highly overrated normal dorms." Rek smiled. Something told him that these kids would be some of his real friends here at school.

[Goose]

Maybe Tony had judged this boy too harshly, he was afterall, just trying to fit in as well. Still, he would have to be guarded for a while, because Tony didn't trust everybody.

"I"m Tony, a hawk. I hope we can get to know eachother better, you seem like an interesting guy."

[Jaina]

Milo glanced down at the note and grimaced. "Pfft, he makes it sound like I should want friends." Milo thought to himself and shook his head taking a long gulp of his bevridge.

"I dont need friends.." Milo thought to himself thinking back to his past. "I didnt need friends then and I dont need them now." He said nodding his head. It wasnt to say that there wasnt a time when he did have friends, it had just been years..since. He had every since he was around 8 that he just moved away from his childhood friends and never bothered or desired to have anymore. He had his big sister to keep him company until he was 9 or so and decided once and for all he didnt need anyone but himself to keep him happy. He just no longer cared what other thought or did. He gazed over at the little group gathering outside the bakery and shook his head.

"I swear human civilization doesnt even realize they are creating their own doom." He muttered and finished up his breakfast. He gazed over at the girl and pulled himself out of his chair.

"Later girls." He said winking before heading out of the bakery making sure to throw a glare at all four of the guys out there before heading to his first class.

[Selena]

Danae snapped back to reality for a moment and then shook her head quickly. Okay, the talking fish wasn't that big of a deal. She'd just... never seen one up close before. He was just a human... with scales... and gills. It was nothing! Certainly not something to stare at. She could handle this. So long as she just stared right in his eyes and avoided all the fishy body parts.

"No, no, my name isn't... well, you know already," Danae muttered. "My name's Danae. The term I think you're looking for is a 'Wave' I think. Which makes more than enough sense given your, um, species."

Danae then glared a bit at the retreating form of Milo, but gave him a mild nod in response. At least he was leaving. And with the other weirdos now outside, things were finally peaceful. She consumed the rest of her cinnamon bun within just a few bites, and then replied with her mouth still full of food.

"And we're not really a part of that whole element clique thing. We're living in the dorms for the normal folk with no powers. Some dude called me a Terror, if that means anything," she said.

Danae turned her head to the side, facing Annika once again. "And you're a pyro, huh? Awesome. We'll go blow stuff up later, maybe."

[Delphi]

"Naturally," Annika replied, snacking on her danish. "We don't need no stinking powers to make pretty explosions. We'll just do it the old fashioned way!"

Catching the exit of the red head out of the corner of her eye, she gave a decidedly false coy smile to his wink.

"Something tells me that several people are going to be bloodied up by the week's end," the devious girl replied before grabbing her coffee and chugging it quickly.

"Sorry, but I gotta go. Classes and such. Gotta at least try and keep my scholarship," she offered, shrugging. "Nice to meet you, Toan. I'm sure we'll see each other around. Oh, and Danae? See what molar the chemicals are once you the chance. The weak stuff isn't any fun."

She really wasn't a trouble maker in the traditional sense. Applied Chemistry for the Real World as she liked to called it was just too much fun to pass up.

But right now wasn't the time for explosions. Nope. It was time for history. Annika wasn't a geek persay...She just had an appreciation for actually learning something in life. Whether that was learning how to mix chemicals correctly for some home made mayhem or reading a text book, it didn't really matter. If it was new to her, she wanted to know more.

[Toan]

Wave! Of course, it had something to do with water!

"Well, see ya later then Annika!" Toan waved goodbye frantically. Turning back to Danae, he followed her and continued the subject of dormitories.

"Terror..." His mind had a momentary lapse, slightly recalling a basement and a charge card, but a moment these thoughts were miles away. He shrugged and said, "I can do telepathy, legimency, and telekinesis stuff, so that's why I'm here. You're lucky; my roomate is mean. What are you here for?"

[Selena]

Oh, great. Now she was stuck with the walking, talking aquarium escapee. And one who apparently had magical powers. Stupid magic. He sounded like the fish version of Carrie, from his description. Now was Danae's challenge. Could she make friends with a magic-using fishman who probably hadn't had to work a day in his life because of his abilities? Or would she just end up punching him like she would a geek?


"What am I here for?" Danae echoed. "I do not have your flashy powers. I'm a normal human, and one who has enrolled in this university because it was the most logical choice location and money-wise."


Danae then took a look around for a kind of clock, and saw that she still had much time to spare before her English class. Which meant that she was still free to do what she wanted for a little while longer. Video games were one options, but she supposed that hanging out around campus to observe the population wouldn't be a bad choice either. Maybe she could slingshot rubber bands into the backs of cheerleaders' heads.


"Well then, Aquaman, you wanna go walk around and check out what freakish qualities the other students have? It's a like circus sideshow out there. People fading in and out, kids flying, people shooting fireballs out their arse. Why, in my day, if we wanted fire, we bought a flamethrower!" Danae ranted. Then she returned her gaze to a calm look. "Provided you have no classes at the moment."

[Toan]

He thought for a moment, and looked at the same clock. No classes for another hour and a half...

"Oooooh, sounds fun! Where do you wanna go?" Toan asked excitedly. "I've been to the Rec Center; it's really big! Have you been there yet?"

He grabbed her hand with his own and made toward the door, unsure if she would follow or resist, but attempted nevertheless.

Daniel had long since left the dining hall and hovered to where his class would be. However, as he looked up at the building, he sighed knowing that he was far too early. He sat on a bench on opened up his laptop, which had been the source of his impaired flying.

He stared at the start-up screen, wondering why he made that promise to make more friends in the first place. He immediately reminded himself that it was because Athena told him to--and whenever she told him to do something, it was as if he were bound by holy law to do so.

So far the only solid possibility seemed to be in the fish-like Toan. Everyone else seemed too extreme in personality. Daniel heaved another sigh, realizing he would definitely have to go outside his preferred realm of comfort. Folding up his wings, he started tinkering around in his computer. He opened up a word document “LAUJournal” and started making additions.

"As I live more at LAville University, I am glad to find that people in the certain houses will act outside their expected personalities. The "Waves" archetypically are vain and very much upper-crust material--however I have made an acquaintance with Toan, a Wave who could be best described as a human mixed with fish traits. He is a bit of an oddball, but he seems to the type one could be friendly easily. We had met at a restaurant, and before I could talk more with him though, a red-haired individual whom I suspect is another one of the gifted students interrupted us. Shortly thereafter, another guy accidentally spilled some oatmeal on him and panicked, disappearing into thin air. The red-haired one then went on a tantrum, and was figuratively shot down by two other girls who were there. Another guy who had walked in teleported the invisible person out of the restaurant, while another come up and took the blame for the oatmeal.”

Daniel stopped there, and decided to save the file and shut down the laptop. He tucked it into the cloth case it came with and started looking around for something else to do. He decided to just walk this time, enjoying the scenery as he walked along.

[Jaina]

OOC: Ken..you character would not have SEEN that person become invisible..because yeah..they were invisible. That is the reason I didnt have Milo KNOW who it is >.> he certaintly cant see invisible people. I believe Goose can see them because he himself has that power? o.O

Also..sorry havent posted in a while I have been housesitting for my grandma and she has no net..I wont be back officially tell tomorrow



IC: Milo walked slowly his shoulders hunched down as he made his way to his first class. English, he hated English but in order to actually graduate from this hell hole of a school the gen ed requirement said he needed it. He had no idea why he was actually showing up so dang early maybe it was because he was bored, angry, or maybe just because his meal had been ruined from shame and embarassment and he could hopefully hide from them all in his class.

He glared furiously out the window as he plopped himself down into a seat in the back row. He didnt know where the stereotype came from that all the stupid kids who didnt give a crap about school sat in the back, but for the moment he decided to follow it.

"At least in here I will be safe from those damn girls Danae and Annika, I cant believe I didnt have SOME sort of comeback from them, damn my mom for not educating me about girly shit like Midol and tampons." He muttered to himself as he opened up his notebook in attempt to try and think of a comeback for future references.
