jack turned to the new girl"its kinda hectic right now but things are calming down,i didnt arrive to long ago so i know barley anything about this place but i can tell you that the other kids are nice like the kid sliding on his rump,im jack by the way"

[Bironica] <Mystique> <Aaron>
@Aisling @ZB1996

Bironica noticed the boy had tried a better smile this time, but it somehow had managed to falter. It's the thought that counts! "My name's Aaron," he said. "Pleasure." "Hi, Bironica. My name is Mystique. Does anyone know exactly what we are going to do here in the gym? And I have more questions for the housekeeper too." the girl spoke as she walked for the gym with the others.

"Well... um... I got here just yesterday, and the last thing I saw was my friend using her powers on someone else. So, we might have to use our powers to fight. I sure don't like the idea... I'm not going to do any good indoors either." Bironica explained what little she knew to her two new friends.

As they neared the door, Bironica slowed down significantly. "Hey, what's going on? Do you see that?" She said, pointing at the ice slowly seeping out from the doors. She could also hear various talking,, yelling and other loud noises. "Um... I'm really not liking this idea now. Is it too late to leave?" Bironica stopped, looking at both Aaron and Mystique

She eventually shook it off, and built up enough courage to walk on and enter the gym. She attempted to push the doors open wider, but they were frozen the way they were. The left door shut, and the right one opened just enough to fit through for most people. Bironica squeezed her way through, slipping on the ice and flailing her arms through the air.

She looked onward, to see a tree had grown out of the ground, and tried to use it to catch herself, but nothing happened... and she fell to the ground. After the short bump, she managed to get herself up off the slippery ground. Just nearby, a kid on the floor, seemingly surrounded by a murder of crows... and other birds. Lots of other birds. She didn't do anything though, as it appeared they were under the control of the girl, and helping him.

Off in the distance were two other girls she didn't recognize, one seeming to be really upset and sending off ice everywhere. On the other side of the room she could see her friends Leera and Josive fighting off the ice as it attacked them. Back on the other side of the room, was the tall six-armed girl, along with a smaller girl, and a smaller boy. It seemed the smaller girl was trying to calm down the bigger, before running off.

Bironica waved to Mystique and Aaron to follow after her, and walked over to the tall six-armed girl. "Hey, are you alright?" Bironica asked, walking in front of her as the smaller girl ran off somewhere else. "Do you know what's going on?" she asked, and then just stood there. Bironica stood there long enough, that the other girl had came back and stood next to her.

[Josive] [Leera] <Jacob>
@Zatoshi
Josive, Jacob, and Leera arrived just before the chaos started in the gym. "Alright, good luck. You shouldn't have any problems... it's pretty painless to go through." Josive waved Jacob off, as he and Leera had already demonstrated, so they walked off to the right side of the gym and sat down.

Josive was busy drawing and writing in his book to notice the chaos erupting... and even when it wasn't so hard to miss, he just ignored it. Leera sat six feet from him, and played around with her magic, moving the shadows around her and forming them into balls and pictures. Josive was the first to notice, as he looked up to see the ice creeping up on them, having already taken over most of the room. "Leera, there's ice coming!" he yelled as he stood up. "What?" she moaned, turning to look at him and ignore his pointing at the oncoming ice. She leaned back and kept playing with her shadows as the ice came closer.

The ice started creeping up Josive's legs, so he quickly drew his legs with water around them, making the ice stop it's decent and melt. Shortly after, it started to freeze again, and climb higher once again. He then started to draw a fire on the bench behind him, and it slowly started up, melting some of the ice around his legs enough to get him free, and let him jump towards Leera. He knocked into her, sending her over and releasing the shadows she had gathered up. "Hey! What's the big idea Josive?" she yelled at him, before looking around and seeing the ice. "Oh."

Josive quickly stood, and helped Leera up, and watched as his fire was dowsed by the water, then froze over. Leera pulled some shadows around them, blasting them into the ice as it crept closer. "Leera, I have an idea..." he said, flipping his book to another page and started drawing. "What is it?" she asked, turning to him for a second, before turning back and blasting more of the ice. "Just keep doing that. I'm going to light another fire." he said. "That didn't work before! Why do it again?" she yelled back at him. "Trust me. I'm making a different fire." he said as he tried to concentrate on his drawing.

Once Josive finished, a much bigger fire appeared, but this time raised off the benches with stones surrounding the fire, and dirt in the center with the fire on top. "Stand closer to the fire, and use your powers to push the water away after it melts." Josive said as he moved towards the fire. Leera moved next to him, and did as he said, using her powers to push the water away and then let it freeze on top of the other ice. "I can't do it, it's spreading too fast!" she said to him, turning to push away more water coming from behind them. "Hold on, I've got another idea." he said, drawing a trench around the fire pit. "Just don't let the trench fill up too much." he said. Leera nodded, and started pulling the water out of the trench and dumping it out onto the ice building up around them with her shadows. Josive drew the water floating out, and being launched into the rest of the gym.

"Alright. Let's calm down. Everyone be seated please. We need to get started. On the right if you have demonstrated. On the left if you havent. You will give your name, state your ability and then show your current level of control."The housekeeper instructed. "Katherin can you bring the ice back. We need the floor." Both Josive and Leera turned, and watched as Katherin started receding the ice from the gym. They continued to pull the ice out of their trench, until the ice receded from their area, and Josive scratched out all of his drawings and watched them disappear. He looked at the drawing he made of the first fire, and saw the page was wet, so he tore it out and put it in his pocket.

After the room seemingly returned to normal, the two sat down again. "Was that a test?" Josive asked Leera, but she just shrugged. "How should I know?" Leera added in her own shrug. Josive sighed, and moved back over to where he was sitting before, and continued drawing and writing like nothing had happened. Leera threw herself where she had sat before, and looked off into the rest of the room.

Jess finds herself upstairs following the group, the housekeeper was apparently showing everyone their rooms. When it comes time for Jess's room, she nods politely and goes inside. She shuts the door quickly and leans against it. Jess sighs heavily and sinks to the floor. Wow, is this actually the room we get to stay in? It doesn't look much different than others we've been in... She looks around, there's only one bed - she's all alone. Oh no, we can't do this. We're the only ones in here... All alone... We have to tell someone! Tell them what, idiot? That we're scared to sleep alone and to abandon their room to come with us? That'll go over *real* well... Jess hangs her head, grasps her knees to her chest and starts rocking back and forth. "You can do this." She mutters, "You can do this." Jess hears someone outside her door - she freezes. "Please no, not tonight." She pleads. Jess can hear his ugly voice in her head, "Come on Sweetheart, you're mine for the night. You do as I say." She shakes off the memory, No, we're safe now, the noise is just the others settling into their rooms. Jess nods and resumes her rocking, knowing she won't fall asleep tonight.

Jess can see the sunlight shining through her closed eyelids. She must have fallen asleep sometime in a morning hours. She blinks a few times, Where...? Oh, the orphanage! Jess scrambles up and reaches for the door handle, she twists it slowly, and closes the door quietly behind her. She can smell the old scent of bacon, but when she finds her way into the kitchen, it is empty. Everyone must be in the gym, check in there. Jess walks into the hallway toward the gym, the ground feeling cool to her feet. She notices some small puddles as well. She reaches the door frame to the gym and peers in.

"I'm alright myself," Aaron said to Bironica. "But I can't speak for Kyo over there. The feet are the worse thing that can be frozen. There were two new guys, newer than us. One does something with darkness and the other does something with minerals. Darkness boy said some demeaning things, and that caused her to lash out, as anyone would. Apparently, the two boys are friends, and the other threw a rock the size of her head at the tall girl. He could have killed her. Naturally, the girl with red hair was very angry, and started to spread ice. Kyo, he's done nothing but good, but he was put right in the middle. Please, excuse me for a second."

Aaron went up to Jack. While he knew he could attribute his attitude towards ignorance, he didn't think that was a good enough excuse. He didn't think he was like the rest of them here. Perhaps something had happened, that he would be sent here, and that was all.

"I see this all as your fault," Aaron said. "You're not funny, and your words reveal you to what you really are. You are no different than the people who sent us here."

Aaron's anger hadn't completely subsided yet. He blamed the other boy too. Josive had been helping out his friend; Max had caused damage. Throwing a mineral that size was dangerous, fatally dangerous. Aaron didn't understand how he took that other boy's side, and he did not why he would do so with a rock."

"You were just helping your friend, weren't yoy?" Aaron said sarcastically. "A good friend is willing to die for their friendship, but you're willing to kill for it. You'll understand if not everyone sees your way. If you throw things that can kill, people will throw back things that can kill. You know, your minerals are a good defense against the four elements, but not so good against the fifth. At breakfast I tried to be the peacekeeper. I am done trying."

That was all Aaron was going to say. He guessed they would get it, but maybe they'd sense that he was serious. Aaron's anger would soon subside. He took a seat on the bench, where those who had already demonstrated sat.

"SIT DOWN!!" The housekeeper ordered. She scanned the room. "We are going to finish the introductions and start our regular schedule if we can. Who would like to go first?"

@KatherinWinter@KatherinWinter
Oh no. She grimaced as she watched Kyo try to walk and how obviously he was struggling with it. She wasn't big enough for this. "Housekeeper!" She called out. "I need some help. I think we need to get Kyo to the washroom. Just give me someone who's gone already. I won't be able to catch him if he falls."

At least the ice was receding, that would at least make it easier. She wouldn't be falling on her face again, at the very least. She glanced over at the newly blue girl as the birds hanging off of her alighted on the now safe ground and made a mental note to stay far away from someone that dangerous and stupid. Then she went and inserted herself under Kyo arm, grabbing him around the waist to give what little support she could. "It's probably just pins and needles," She said, "but just to be safe we should go run some water of over those."

jack stood up "mind if i go first?"he said to the housekeeper and readied a ball of shadow in his right hand
"And as for you"(ZB199)I'm not sure what your talking about maybe later we could deal with this but for now I'm gonna think nothing of it,and another thing:no one sent me here I sent myself here and I had no intentions of making the six armed titan girl angry"with that jack ended his little comeback and

Mystique was so frightened that she stayed put. She began to think very hard to Bironica and Aaron.

*I need someone to be with me....I am so scared.......*

@Teknonick@Gentlemanvaultboy [/yamicuorelaroux]
"Alright. I'm sure Kyo is fine but Josive help Alfredo take him into the bathroom and warm water over his feet. Slowly. Don't warm them up too fast. Jack you can take the floor." the housekeeper instructed @Blizz

"Thank you"jack walked down to the floor and stood in the center"my name is jack mills,And I have the power of umbrakinesis:shadow manipulation"

Jacks eyes began to glow a bright shade of indigo as he remembered to show how much control he had over his power

Jack encased himself in a suit of armor and in his right hand,shaped a ball of shadows into as scythe just a bit taller than him,he then constructed a pair of demon like wings and flew into the air,he then constructed a test dummy that looked like a monster,it was twice his size and had four arms,"this is my power!!"jack announced in a loud voice,

Jack raised his dark scythe and swung it so hard he spun around uncontrollably,this sent forth a spinning disc of shadows that cleaved straight through the shadowy test dummy,with that jack floated down,dispelled his shadows,making all but the scythe disappear"just don't make me mad at night or this gets ten times more hectic"jack walked to the nearest seat he found,laying his dark scythe in the floor in front of him"that's my turn up"he said as he sat down as if nothing happened"weren't expecting that were you?"

jack looked around for the boy who mentioned a fifth element,after a minute or so he found and approached him"hey,i belive you had something to tell me"

@Gentlemanvaultboy@Blizz@Teknonick

Kyo shook his head as the young girl tried to help him, not really wanting to drag people away from the demonstrations for this. Besides, the door wasn't that far, was it? He could probably make it... No, who was he kidding, this was taking far too long. As the other boy who was called up arrived to help as well, he gave in and just accepted the assistance. It was a bit surprising how easily he handled the weight; even if he wasn't quite at the weight he figured he should be yet, he hadn't thought he was that light. Then again, there were two people supporting the weight, even if one of them was significantly smaller.

As they were leaving the gym, he found himself distracted by the newcomer showing off his ability. Turning his head granted him a glimpse of the shadows he hated so much. The ones that kept him from sleeping so often when he was younger. A demon somewhat reminiscent of the ones that had haunted him in his previous home seemed to form around the kid. Let me out! I don't want to be here, let me out! Auntie!

But even that old fear completely vanished at the sight of what else had been made with that power. That figure he sliced...like some sort of twisted parody of the crying goddess...

It made him feel more numb than his own legs at that moment. A goddess, an actual goddess, had deigned to descend to this place where those gifted with no other fortune were lucky enough to have ended up instead of a ditch somewhere or worse. And yet people were still depraved enough to do nothing else but threaten her further after already having thoroughly upset her somehow. It was heartless. Heartless and unwise.

As he was dragged out of the gym, he couldn't help but feel something colder than the melted ice sprout within him. Demons did exist outside of his mind. And they were here now, too. It almost kept him from hearing the two helping him down the hall completely, though he did eventually manage a slow nod to Josive when he finally registered the statement regarding his name. It was hard to offer a shaky half-smile back, but he was able to focus long enough try pointing to a door a little further down the hall away from the stairs. At least his legs were starting to feel something again.

@YamiCuoreLaroux@Teknonick@Gentlemanvaultboy

Jess watches as three of the kids go by, two helping a boy walk, obviously in pain. She had heard the housekeeper yell for everyone to sit down, so she walks into the gym near the back and looks around for a place to sit. Everyone was divided, sitting on opposite sides, Jess hesitates, wondering where to sit.

Jack sees a new girl at the door"hey if your new you go to the left then to right after you show your power"

@YamiCuoreLaroux @Teknonick

"There's one on this floor. You're supposed to use it after gym time. This way." She said, gently dragging the procession in the direction that Kyo had indicated. She had pointedly ignored the first part of Josive's question, but as they made their way down she started to feel bad about that. After all, wasn't he helping out.

"Alfreda, Alfredo, is doesn't really matter. I don't really have a name but Mr. Hemlock, the man in charge of my old orphanage, didn't like calling me Jane Doe." It's something you put on forms, my girl, she could hear him say, No character. No soul. No je ne sais quoi! Not a fit name for a child at all. "He settled on Alfreda because..." She shot a grimace back at the little hopping flock following them down the hallway. "Because I like movies." She said through her teeth.

The bathroom would have been a good sized room if it weren't for the wall segregating it by sex. Entering through the boys door, momentarily basking in the feeling of being somewhere forbidden that swelled up in her chest, she led the boys past the lockers in the front and toward the line of enclosed shower stalls standing along one wall. "Hold on." She said, extraditing herself slowly from Kyo so she was sure Josive had him. She walked into the stall and threw aside the shower curtain before standing out of the way of the nozzle and turning it on. She stuck out her hand and felt the water, adjusting the temperature until it was just right. "Okay," she called, her voice echoing. "Get those shoes off and slide your legs on in here."

Destiny ran through the unlocked gate of the tall orphanage, it reminded her of a small castle with all of the towers. She quickly and swiftly jogged up the steps to the front door and stopped to see if she could hear anything but she couldn't. She knocked on the door hesitantly and then took up the courage and yelled out," Hello? Is anybody there?"

@Aisling @Blizz

Aaron thought perhaps that maybe he had been overexcited. Nonetheless, he did not regret acting as he did. That boy had deserved it. Sitting on the bench, he looked back towards Mystique. She was afraid, something which Aaron did not want, so he went and talked to her.

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong now. It's all over now," Aaron said. "Even I got excited over this, but now there's nothing to be afraid of."

When Jack demonstrated his power, Aaron admitted he showed a good deal of power. It was, however, not enough to daunt Aaron. He had seen many things, and there were worse things than darkness. Aaron was still angry at Jack, and his insensitivity and callousness.

Jack went up Aaron and said, "Hey, I believe you had something to tell me."

"No, I didn't have anything to tell you," Aaron said.

If he was trying to intimidate him, he would not succeeded. Even if he was up there showing off his power, it was not as if Aaron was impressed.

Jack didn't really care,he tried to help a friend and it ended in chaos,he never expected it to end that way"ok but if the floor freezing and crystals flying made you angry,I was just trying to lend a hand,literally it would seem,I had no intentions of making things chaotic"with that jack went back to his seat,picked his scythe up off the ground and sat next to hi

@RavenTLark
"Altpright thank you Jack. You may be seated on the right. Who would like to go next?" the housekeeper asked.Go ahead and get started. I'll be right back."she headed to the door. She opened the door to see a young girl there. "Follow me."
