Katherin carefully climbed off the bus. She was going to college this year. She was excited and nervous. She was going to a college designed not only to give her the education she needed to succeed in the career she had chosen but to help her blend into the regular world. She couldn't really control her powers. She wanted to learn how to belong in the regular world.

Libby leaves her room in the dorms. The library staff has told her not to spend so much time holed up in there. Especially when she turns back into a book and 'naps' on the shelves. The whole point of being here is for her to learn to act more human, after all.

So, she aimlessly wanders the campus instead, wondering about the architecture and dedications.

College had not been in Brionna's destiny originally. She didn't have the money, grades, nor determination to really attend. Making this college experience more exciting than one could imagine for just an urban city girl from the big apple. Trailing behind a red headed woman on the bus, Bri felt a bit impatient at first. She had been used to taking buses and subways her entire life and constantly was in the state of rushing.

"Breathe..Bri." Brionna thought to herself as she let out a sigh and gave a smile. Side stepping the red headed girl she parted her lips, "Yo, are you new here too?" she commented, running her hand over her black hair smoothing out the random strands of curls. "I'm Brionna, but you can call me Bri."

Mikael dropped his bags on the dormitory floor. It was strange. He had become so used to his family's old rural house that here, he felt like an intruder. The irony of his being out of place in a university designed for people like him to "fit in" was not lost.

After claiming his bed and setting his things up, he decided to head outside and take a look around. This was his new home, after all: probably best to be familiar with it.

Sage stepped on to the campus grounds. "Wow! this place is amazing. she said to herself, she slowly walked across the quad. she marveled at the size of the collage.
“I hope there’s a map they give us, otherwise I’ll get lost in this place,” sage said to herself as she looked around the looked quad. So far she didn’t see anyone around her. "might as well explore while I'm out and about." she thought to herself, as she walked along the sidewalk.

Therris awoke to his fourth day of college. So far, no new developments had come from his powers, but of course that was to be expected. Being a normal adult was easy, it was just the whole controlling powers thing that baffled him. Each day had had at least SOME kind of disaster. Day 1 and 2, he managed to liquidise some sculptures, day 3 a wall and day 4 sucked a bus (an empty one) into the ground. If anything, maybe today would be better, so Therris got dressed and headed out onto the campus.

There were many people with white hair mulling around, but for some reason a girl, with... peculiar eyes and long white hair stood out to him. Well that's a face I definitely haven't seen around, but she is probably some senior... Therris thought, as he made his way in her general direction, hoping to strike up some type of conversation to find out if she was new.

"Good morning students. Welcome new arrivals. Please make your way to the gym for the welcoming orientation. You should have received a digital copy of the schools map on your digital devices. If you did not get one or do not have a digital device please see one of the instructors roaming the grounds. They will have bright yellow name tags so you know who they are." A voice said over the PA system.

Libby still isn't sure how she feels about electronic devices... they are very handy, but she feels like something of a traitor by using one. In any case, she's already learned the layout of the university. It was a simple case of having the map copied into her pages.

Maybe she can help out with that... people are supposed to help people, and books are all about having information on hand.

She approaches another student. "Excuse me. Are you looking for anywhere in particular?"

(This other student can be anyone. Go ahead and respond if you want it to be you.)

@MissCapnCrunch
Katherin tilted her head to the side the voice was going from. "Hello Bri. My name is Katherin. It's very nice to met you. Yes I am new here. I've come to learn how to control my ability and get my degree. I am looking forward to getting to know others like me. Do you know where we are suppose to be going?" she asked she had made friends at the orphanage she had grown up in. But many of them had gone their own ways once they reached eighteen. She stayed in touch with some of them but none of them were going to this college.

@KatherinWinter
"Hello Bri. My name is Katherin. It's very nice to met you. Yes I am new here. I've come to learn how to control my ability and get my degree. I am looking forward to getting to know others like me. Do you know where we are suppose to be going?" Katherin replied, as Bri's straight face turned into a slight smile. It was nice to have someone else who was new here, so she didn't seem so clueless.

"Nice to meet you Katherin. I'm still working on my abilities, but I'd say I'm not too terrible." she teased, sticking her tongue out playfully. Bri shrugged her shoulders slightly, "Yeah.. I'm not too sure about where we're supposed to go to the-." she paused being interrupted by the announcement:

"Good morning students. Welcome new arrivals. Please make your way to the gym for the welcoming orientation. You should have received a digital copy of the schools map on your digital devices. If you did not get one or do not have a digital device please see one of the instructors roaming the grounds. They will have bright yellow name tags so you know who they are."

"Oh, well there we go!" Brionna said with a chuckle, pulling out her phone and flipping through pages until getting to the map, locating the gym. "Well, we can walk together if you'd like?" Bri asked, raising her eyebrow towards Katherin.

@MissCapnCrunch
Katherin was glad of the information. While she had a phone that had probably recieved a digital copy of the map it wouldn't do her any good. She s,iled and nodded "Thank you Bri that would be able to find it on my own." she indicated to her cane. For reasons that she hadnt managed to figure out yet most people didn't notice her cane. So she had to Mae sure they knew that he was blind. "Do you mind if I put my hand on your shoulder? It oukd help me follow you easier."

@KatherinWinter

"Thank you Bri that would be able to find it on my own." Katherin mentioned, motioning to her cane. "Oh." Brionna let out in barely a whisper. She suddenly felt a wave of guilt run over her for getting upset at how slow the girl was getting off the bus.

"Do you mind if I put my hand on your shoulder? It would help me follow you easier." Katherin said within the moment of silence. "Yeah! Of course, of course!" Bri gushed, taking Kat's hand and placing it on her shoulder. She laughed nervously as she began walking, "Sorry if I'm a little sweaty, I had to run to catch several buses this morning."

Brionna began leading Katherin and herself towards the gym for welcome orientation. Her eyes glancing between the map on her phone and at Katherin making sure she didn't stumble or trip. Usually she wouldn't have been so kind, but she felt obligated in a sense after their first encounter.

Jericho stood outside of the gym watching the other students pour inside. He had never been around other magic users before and the sheer number startled him.
He looked down at the wilted dandelion in his hand. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath. The flower uncurled itself as his breath filled his lungs. Exhaling, the flower curled itself back into the slightly browned wilting thing it had been a moment before. It was a focus technique that he had made up in middle school. He repeated this twice more before dropping it on the ground and heading for the door to the gymnasium.

@MissCapnCrunch
"Don't worry about it Bri. I don't mind. I have touched worse things then a sweaty shoulder."Katherin assured the other girl. She was glad that someone had been willing to help her. She would have tried to find it on her own but this was a lot easier. She tried to be as independent as possible. She hated being a burden to others. She was looking forward to making new friends this year.

Looking over his shoulder, Jericho noticed two women coming towards the gym. One walked with her hand on the other's shoulder. As this isn't something you see everyday, he paused at the opening to the gym.

"Are you two OK?" he said as they came within ear shot "I don't usually see people being lead in quite that fashion."

"Don't worry about it Bri. I don't mind. I have touched worse things then a sweaty shoulder."

Brionna let out a hearty chuckle at Katherin's sentence. "Oh trust me, I have too." she retorted, a smug smile crawling across her face. Peering down again at the map on her phone it appeared the two we're very close by. "Almost there Kat. Do you mind if I call you Kat?" she asked looking back at the fair skinned girl, with a warm smile. She knew Katherin couldn't see her, but perhaps she had senses or powers that could.

"Are you two OK?" a boy asked only a few feet in front of them "I don't usually see people being lead in quite that fashion." "And, I don't usually like getting asked questions about my business." Brionna snapped back. The girl had rough feelings about men after being cat called several times in the busy streets of New York City where she hailed from. Dropping her glare to a smooth smile, Bri shook her head full of curls before speaking again, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so harsh." she cooed. "I'm Brionna and this is Katherin. Katherin is blind so I am helping her to the orientation." she stated, waiting for the boy's response.

Though he tried to keep his expression relatively neutral and friendly, Jericho realized that he was wearing a surprised look. He hadn't expected the first woman to respond in such away, but maybe he'd come off as too intrusive.

I should work on that... he thought.

He gave the women a weak smile and replied, "Jericho, my name is Jericho. It's nice to meet you."

He glanced behind Brionna towards Katherin and now saw the cane she carried.
She's carrying it out in the open, how did you not notice that?
You're not as perceptive as you think
I didn't think I was very perceptive in the first place
Good because you aren't
I... wait stop talking to yourself, get out of your head

Jericho shook his head a little and realized he had been standing awkwardly in from of the two women for a good thirty seconds without speaking.

"Sorry, we should probably get inside. I think the orientation is supposed to start soon."

@Sanuine
Katherin tilted her head and listened to the two talk. Apparently one of the male students had been curious about what they were doing. He didn't blame the guy. They probably looked pretty odd. She frowned at Bri less then nice reply. "You're right. We had better get inside. From the sounds of it they are about to get started." The talking in the gym had started to lessen meaning that orientation was about to start. She didn't want to miss anything. This could be her only chance to get a real education.

Agreeing with both Jericho and Katherin, the trio walked their way inside the gym for the beginning of the school year orientation. Brionna placed her hand softly on Katherin's removing it from her shoulder and bringing it out and around her so she could help Katherin sit down in one of the many folded chairs that were available. "I'm sorry again for my outburst." she mentioned to the two of them, "I tend to lose my temper quickly." she admitted, taking her own seat in the auditorium. It was amazing how many students were present, both young and old. Hopefully they were all eager to learn as she was.

"Welcome to college supernaturals. We hope that you all will thrive and grow here. You will have one supernatural class then a regular followed by lunch. After lunch you will have a supernatural class and another regular class. Each of you will learn the skills you need to get the career you choose and to blend in with the human world."The principal announced.
