Wonderland Academy for the Unique and Gifted (IC)

[AUH14]

Akari stopped humming when she heard someone scream 'no!' Whoever that was brought her back to reality before she started singing out loud. Akari stood up and saw that there was a boy her age jogging and an older boy walking towards the training fields. She wanted to interact, but her shy disposition deterred her from doing so and instead walked to the training fields to practice controlling her singing. As long as she sang a melody of "do rei me fa so la ti do" she wouldn't be heightening someone else's powers, however, she would be able to understand how her power works inside her when she did sign a melody. She found her usual corner, almost secluded from others who are training then she began to sing a melody. "Do rei rei me do me rei fa me rei do." she sung only loud enough for her to hear. She started learning that the rythm, beat, tempo, etc. have a large effect on the effects she will get by heightening abilities. For example, if the tempo is up beat and fast pace then the effect with quickly increase the ability, but will not have a strong/lasting bond. She continued to practice singing by herself, but she walked to the lobby while humming different melodies; trying to understand the feelings her powers made inside of her. It's no use unless she can practice on someone, so she hummed merely out of pleasure. She would understand better when classes started. She saw a pink haired girl being lead to the bathroom by someone she hadn't met. Her hand was bleeding. Akari felt entitled to help her, but she already has help. Besides, there's a first aid kit in all the bathrooms, so there was no need to intrude. She sat down on a bench just outside the lobby and looked out at the fountain and the tree across from it. She sighed "I miss home...and my friends." she said quietly as she pulled her knees to her chest. "No, I must be brave. This is a new start for me. I can become stronger." she said with a smile and jumped off the bench to attempt to make small talk. The first person she saw reminded a little bit of herself. She had a laptop in her bag and a stuffed animal hugged closed to her. She walked up to the girl and gave her a warm smile "How are you this morning?" she said in a soft voice

Lucille snaps to attention, noticing the girl was talking to her. Pulling her laptop out, she opened it, clicking several times before typing furiously. After a moment, she clicked again, and a sweet electronic voice, familiar to Vocaloid fans, spoke for her. "Hello. I am fine, thank you for asking. Might I know how you are? And maybe your name, too." The voice was a little choppy in the flow of the words, but otherwise it was easy to understand. Smiling a little shyly, Lucille looked up at Akari, arms raised in a questioning pose. This was not uncommon. Rarely speaking, it took something special to utter even a sound.

Thorn was familiar with the direction they were headed- many a person had lead her to the same bathroom to get her wounds fixed. It was a surprise that she hadn't learned from watching them this whole time- or perhaps she only asks for help because of the attention?
Once the two reached the bathroom, Thorn held her arms out in front of Elena, asking, "You're gonna fix me up then, right? You must be very smart to know how to do it- is that your unique gift?" That was Thorn assuming that Elena knew they were in Wonderland- there was one time where she met an older girl who didn't know people in this school had special abilities.

"Oh Chubbers," a young girl cried out softly, near Trinity. Water had splashed him when the toy landed into the water, but he didn't mind- it was but water, after all. "Is he alright?" Trinity managed to croak out. Hey, he was antisocial, but he liked his share of little kids. They reminded him of a happy child, something he had trouble remembering of himself. Always distracted with looking as the same Trinity.
He pulled himself out of his stupid thoughts, tugging what hopefully was a friendly smile towards the girl as he continued lowering the folds he'd made in his pants earlier.

Skie looked up at him with a frown on her face. "No, he's not okay." She said. "He's drenched in water! I shouldn't have used him as a testing dummy." She muttered, squeezing the water out. "Fifteen years he's been with me, never hurt one bit. But now I bet he is done for." She mumbled under her breath. She sat on the fountain and looked at him. He was damp, and his bow had come off. She fished it out of the water and rung it out too. Then she tied it back around his neck. "Atleast he still looks classy." She muttered, chuckling to herself. Chubbers seemed pretty okay. He was just wet. Maybe the place had a dryer? Or a someone who had a wind talent? Chubbers needed that, pronto!

"No," Elena chuckled. "It is not my unique gift." She took Ebony's hand and ran it under some cold water. Pulling out the white box labeled with a red cross, she picked out her tools. Some gauze, medicine, and bandages. "This may sting a little," Elena warned. First, she applied some of the medicine to Ebony's hand and dabbed it with the gauze. The blood and dirt were starting to clear away, and all that remained were some nasty cuts. Elena turned Ebony's small hand in her own. "This doesn't look too bad now that we've cleaned it up," she smiles at her. Picking up the bandages next, she wraps them snugly, making sure they're not too tight though, around Ebony's hand. After she's done, Elena cuts the bandage and secures it with some medicinal tape. Admiring her handy-work, Elena starts on Ebony's other hand.

Other girls walk into the bathroom through this slow process, and they whisper. Elena can't help but get sucked into their minds, temporarily losing grip of reality, and losing grip of Ebony's fragile hand. She forces herself to snap out of it and focus. Soon, the other hand is all wrapped up. "Well, not bad if I do say so myself." She tried her best not to make the bandages bulky, and so that Ebony would still be able to use her hands fully. From a distance, it might of seemed like Ebony was only wearing white gloves. Perhaps she would start a fashion trend.

"Have you had breakfast yet? I am quite famished," she says to Ebony. "Would you like to accompany me to the dining area?"

Akari was taken aback at how fast she pulled out her computer and was a little humored by it. She thought it was cute that she was so shy and she wasn't afraid to let a little giggle escape her lips. "I'm having some home sickness, but other than that I enjoy it here. Oh and my name is Akari, but you can call me Rii. What's your name?"

[LetterA]

"At least he still looks classy."
Trinity raised a hand to stiffle a small laugh before coughing it off. The kid was cute, admittedly. "You know," he started, "there're dryers around the ground floor, when you need your stuff cleaned." Usually, said washers and dryers were only used by the older division, but surely the girl could take care of herself, right? After all, she *was* gifted. Albeit not in the mental way that some parents may have percoeved the word "gifted" to be, but gifted nonetheless. Trinity continued, "If you ask an older girl, I'm sure she'll help you dry Chubbers." Fifteen years, huh? That made the girl to be at least fifteen- so two or so years younger than him? She looked pretty young- then again, so did several other girls. Perhaps gifted girls simply aged slower?

"Oh no, I ate the roses earlier on, I'm full," said the short eighteen-year old girl raising a hand to wave off the question about eating. The movement of her hand got her noticing the well done bandaging, releasing a gasp from Thorn. "Woah, you're awesome at this," she said, her eyes brightening, "you gotta teach me this!" She observed the craftsmanship of the bandaging before pursing her lips and her thin pink brows furrowing.
"I've got it! As thanks for the brilliant bandaging, I shall escort you to the dining area~!" She lended an elbow for Elena to hold on to, having noticed earlier the way she suddenly seemed...faint. Poor girl, was she anemic? It mattered not! Super strong Thorn would help her out in any way she could!...given that Elena give her those bandage wrapping lessons she had inquired about moments before.

Skie furrowed her brows. "Ask the older girls? How old do you think I am?" She exclaimed while laughing. "I'm fifteen, not twelve. I know how to work a dryer." She said frowning. What did this boy think? That she was not capable of doing things on her own? Maybe seeing Chubbers gave him the wrong idea. His stifled laughter made her frown even more. She looked down at her bear and sighed. Maybe she was too old for stuffed animals? But not chubbers! He has been with her forever! Ever since her mother gave it to her, it never left her hands. Even if she had to go to school, those teachers tried to pry it out of her hands, but she wouldn't give it up.

A while has passed after the twins arrived. Aurel has been missing a lot of stuff, starting with his razor. He opened the window and blinds for the 9th time. "AURELIA!" "WHAT IS IT NOW?!" Aurelia put down her magazine, for the 9th time. "WHERE IS MY FLASHLIGHT?" "HOW SHOULD I KNOW?" "UGH!" Aurel then shut the blinds and window, for the 9th time. "Irresponsible idiot." "Useless fool." The two had fought various times before, and no matter how intense the argument was, they still loved each other. Aurelia went back to reading her magazine, while Aurel searched deep into his bag for his belonging, each time being futile. Aurel then opened the window and blinds. "Ok, I am leaving now." Aurelia put down her magazine, again. She had a questioned look on her face. "Where on Earth are you going to go? You do not know this area well. I can bet that you will get lost." "Lost? Who here is 45% ice?" Aurelia then raised her hand, pointing at her brother. She took in a deep breath and sighed, though as if she has done this before. "That guy.." "Who saved the town bank from a robbery?" "Aurel, first of all, it was not a town bank, it was the town's first Italian Ices. Second, people wore ski masks because it was Winter, cold, and you were playing with your powers. Third, they had a bag so their ice cream would not be stolen, because it was too popular. Do not self-proclaim yourself as a hero." "You, are useless." Aurelia returned to her magazine, which she became bored of, and Aurel closed the windows. He put on his black coat and stepped out of the room, with a book in his hands. The book contained many techniques of manipulating ice, such as freezing water, freezing water vapor, or forming an icicle and use it as a weapon. The book also had a symbol of a snowflake on it. Aurelia stood up from her bed, took a bag of make up from the table, and went into the bathroom.

Akari was taken aback at how fast she pulled out her computer and was a little humored by it. She thought it was cute that she was so shy and she wasn't afraid to let a little giggle escape her lips. "I'm having some home sickness, but other than that I enjoy it here. Oh and my name is Akari, but you can call me Rii. What's your name?"

Settling Ziau inside her laptop case, she began typing again. "Hello Rii. I am sorry to hear that you miss home. I am Lucille Misey Laurence." She smiled shyly again after she hit enter, listening to the message herself. It was obvious she communicated this way much better than she would have if she spoke. She wrinkled her nose as the program mispronounced her middle name, and realized she hadn't spelled it correctly. Typing again. "Lucille Maisey Laurence. Typed the last too quickly and made a mistake. Haha."
