"Alright children. All the bedrooms are upstairs. You will get your own room. You can do whatever you want with it. Those who havent demonstrated will do so tomorrow. I will ring a bell to call you to breakfast. Try not to be late."The housekeeper stated before heading up the stairs. She would pass the first dozen rooms or so before she started assigning rooms to the new arrivals.

@Aisling
"You brought stuff right?"The housekeeper asked. In the confusion of so many new arrivals she had lost track of who had what. "If you have your own stuff I will make sure it gets to your room. If you dont have your own stuff see me tomorrow. I have lots of clothing that was left behind. There should be something that fits you."

Kyo stood out of the way and prepared to follow at the back when everyone was lined up. He didn't need to be told where his room was since he wasn't a new arrival, but he could at least make sure they didn't lose anyone. Besides, it was getting late, and he figured that he would have to go back to his room soon if bedtime was approaching anyway.

Aaron followed the Housekeeper alongside the other students, lugging his bag over his shoulder. He was a little anxious about getting his own room. He felt like this would be the final step, and then he could finally settle into a routine and everything would be normal.

"Thank you....." Mystique spoke as she looked at everything on her way. She only hoped that she could remember where everything was. This place was much larger than any other orphanage she had ever been in.

Katherin waited until she heard most of the other kids near the door before she stood to her feet. She would have to find her cane tomorrow. She was sure that the Benefactor had simply for got he had it. She slowly made her way towards the sound of the others. Without her cane she couldn't tell what was right in front of her. Her power helped some. Over the ears she had learned to use her ice like sonar. She sent it out in front of her hoping that would keep her from bumping into anyone.

Since he was already near the back of the group and waiting for the rest, Kyo felt the chill coming from further inside the gym fairly quickly and turned to see one of the new arrivals still slowly moving toward the exit. He cocked his head to the side to a moment, thinking that it was the same girl who had borrowed his tablet for a moment. Her hair was also a bright, fiery red, wasn't it?

He soon recognized the difference after another few moments of observation, however, and began to wonder what she was doing so far behind everyone else before he noticed her eyes.

They seemed different, didn't they? Not like most peoples' eyes.

As he approached to walk with her so she wouldn't end up separated from the rest of the group, the bell on his wrist chimed a bit faintly. It had been there all morning, but he had become so used to the sound, he hardly even noticed it anymore. It jingled a bit louder when he raised his hand to push a few strands of hair back into the tie where it was supposed to be, however.

@KatherinWinter@YamiCuoreLaroux

After what seemed an eternity, someone from the crowd of children seated in the hall did stand up. A girl with raven colored hair, no taller than her and about her age as well. She seemed to draw in all the shadows in the room to power herself and blend in with them. It surely was a very attractive and awe inducing power unlike hers.

After she seem to concentrate all the shadows into a ball much like a football, shaking with pure violent energy of what seemed like darkness and hurled at her, with a cackle to boot. Brigit had made the right choice of keeping her tablet away from her in the meantime, it wasn't hers so she wanted to keep it as she was given. She went and stood in line of the incoming ball of energy, hitting her square in the chest and sending her flying into the back wall.

The impact alone would have killed most of the people, coupled with the crash in the wall it was certain death for even those with powers. Most would just be splatters on the wall after the powerful display by the raven colored hair. It was impressive to say in the least, to draw such power on such short notice. After a few seconds of eerie silence, Brigit walked out of the hole her form seemed to have made waving her strands out of her face. Her red curly bangs still obscured most of her form as she walked to the center and picked up the tablet. Before she could thank the girl however, the housekeeper came in to announce the end of proceedings for the day. The crowd seemed to have shaken off their shock and walked out.

Brigit looked for Katherin and found her slowly finding her way towards the end of crowd. She seemed to emit a winter-y coldness around her so as to warn people of her presence. The silent boy who had helped her with the tablet also came towards the back intending to help the blind girl out. The bell on his wrist chiming gently as he walked. Now that she looked at him closely, he was kinda cute. She walked over to the duo while typing in a reply.

"Thank you, mister. For the pad. Would you mind me leading you out, Katherin?" the tablet read out as she neared the redhead.

@Diabolicalrhapsody@YamiCuoreLaroux
Katherin looked up at the sound of bells. She was glad that someone was coming to help her. She tilted her head when she heard another set of footsteps."I would like that Brigit. I need help until I learned my way around. How did your demonstration go?" she asked. She was ready to call it a night. She was looking having a real room.

@Diabolicalrhapsody@KatherinWinter

Kyo was almost next to the slowly moving girl when the other redhead he had lent the tablet to suddenly showed up nearby. A little startled, he backed up a little and froze with a somewhat flustered expression until the sentence fully registered in his head. Nodding in acknowledgement, he moved to the side to let them pass, since it seemed that the other girl, Katherin, was already receiving assistance now. They would be fine walking together. With that settled, he turned toward the door and waited, trying to make sure that they wouldn't end up too far behind the group. And if they did, he would just have to show them to the rooms. He had been there long enough to know where they were, after all, especially considering that his room was on the same floor.

@YamiCuoreLaroux@KatherinWinter

"I don't think the housekeeper saw it. But I can always do it again tomorrow." Brigit typed quickly into the tablet. She placed Katherin's hand on her shoulder and walked a few paces ahead of her. They were like identical sisters, well unless you deliberately looked closely. The silent young man waited for them ahead at the door. He seemed reserved and well-cultured or atleast Brigit thought it was what it meant. He was a really helpful and agreeable person to be with.

"Also, thanks for the tablet." she typed as they neared the door. She smiled brightly at him, perhaps the first time in an year before typing her last query.

"Do you know where the rooms are? We both are new to this place." she let it play out as she handed over the tablet to him.

Down the dark streets of night walked a hooded boy with his head hanging low. He had just lost the person that meant the world for him. To think that she had even made it able for him to come here, after her death. He was supposed to come earlier, but he had been caught up with trafic and other stuff. He was now standing outside the building that was supposed to be his new home, hesitating to if he should knock or not.

@Diabolicalrhapsody@YamiCuoreLaroux
Katherin nodded and allowed the other two to help her to her room. The housekeeper showed each child their room. She made sure that they had what the needed. Katherin was glad to have a quiet place to lay down. She had never had a room of her own. It was sort of an overwhelming. She laid on the bed once she found it and closed her eyes. She was asleep within minutes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EARLY THE NEXT MORNING
A bell rang through the building calling the kids to breakfast. The smell of bacon filled the house.

Jacob had slept outside the door that night since he was nervous to disturb someone. He was now standing in front of the door again and took a deep breath. He raised his hand and knocked on the door. He was shaking a bit because the sun stil hadn't warmed up the morning yet. He could stand heat, but not coldness. He had heard a bell so the others were most likely awake. At least he hoped.

@Zatoshi
The housekeeper headed to the door at the sound of the knock. She hoped today wouldnt be as crazy as yesterday. She was going to have a hard enough of a time keeping up with the new arrivals she already had. She opened the door to see a boy there. "Come in. Go sit in the kitchen please."

He tensed up at the sound of the door opening, but then he saw an old lady. She seemed nice and had a warm aura about her. "U-um... Okay..." he answered nervously and went in. He took off his shoes and looked around the room. It really had a homey feeling about it. It looked quite new despite how it looked outside, but he might be wrong since he had lived with an old woman that liked old things. He found a room that he thought was the kitchen and sat down.

Mystique woke up to the smell of bacon frying and hurried put on her nicest clothes before she brushed her long hair. Once her hair was brushed Mystique hurried down to breakfast. She a boy come inside with the housekeeper but she couldn't quite hear what the housekeeper said so she follow the boy to where he went. She walked into the kitchen where the bacon was being fried. She smiled at the new boy.

Jacob saw a girl that seemed to follow him to the kitchen. She was like him, right? She smiled at him and he attempted to smile back. It probably didn't look very good since he forced himself to do it. He knew no one there and felt really insecure after all. He didn't attempt to start a conversation with her. He took a deep breath and noticed the smell of bacon. He almost started drewling at the smell.

Mystique shyly walked to the young boy.
"Hi. My name is Mystique. I am new here. Are you new too? I think that bacon smells so good that I wish that I could have a whole plateful. What about you?"
