As Agni was watching everyone and their conversations, someone suddenly talked with him. It was the guy that was playing blackjack on the train. At a first impression, he didn't seem to be bad or anything. Rather, his approach was different from what he had expected initially. Goes to show how you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, an important lesson that he already knew but forgot momentarily. The question, though: how his first impression would be. In all case, he decided to be sincere.

"I admit I do. The problem is that I wasn't sure of how I should approach you all since I'm... well, emotionless from the start. As a friendly advice, if you wish to believe in me, my face won't change from this and my voice will sound cold all the time." he explained. Yes, without a doubt he sounded and looked empty. But it's not like Agni wasn't used to this. Being alone and left behind was no longer a problem for him. It wasn't their fault his Alteration transformed him into a marionette. He took Aaron's hand and responded with a firm handshake.

"I'm Agni. Agni Blackheart. It's a pleasure to meet you, Aaron. I'm serious about this."

Aaron smiles, before clearing his throat. "Not a problem at all, Agni. Hell it'd be fun to see that face in different situations, don't you think? Well actually if you are emotionless I doubt you understand the feeling of fun, or if you do you can't experience it? Doesn't matter, good to meet you. So, what brings you here? Or what's your alteration? I know we're not meant to say, but I think Leaf over there gave away her's before we had a chance to ask and considering what's happening to the Asian girl it's easy enough to work out a guess, at least."

Aaron realised that he had become rambling and stopped himself, "Actually, never mind my spiels, better question, when are we getting to our school?"

Aaron had shot a lot of questions, which Agni felt like it would have no issues in answering. Well, maybe talking about his Alteration in specific would be disturbing, so that topic could be avoided as a safety measure. Either way, they would eventually know about each other's powers in the long run... seeing it might be better than talking about it. "According to the letter, the staff should be here to pick us at any moment. Once that happens, they will take us to the campus." He said, reading the letter once again.

"About the other two questions... you're right, I can't experience emotions. I used to feel them and simply not demonstrate it, but now I can't even do that. That brings me to my reason. I want to find a way of being emotional again, without my Alteration blocking them once again. Perhaps when that happens, my life can go back to normal." Agni spoke.

He gave his head a little shake and looked back at Aaron. "So, what's your reason to be here?"

Aaron smiled, it was funny seeing someone like this, someone new and exciting. "For fun, why else? My little cousin is planning to come here in two years, so I decided to check it out and I just so happened to pass the entrance exams, so why not?" Aaron was not being disingenuous, but it was such a casual reason for attending a school for the next two years of his life, it was almost hard for even him to swallow .

"Sorry if I offended you if I seemingly shown better control than you."

Lea tried to stiffle her chuckling.

"I guess it can't be helped then when things escalated quickly. I owe you one. Which reminds me since you're from Brazil, how many languages do you speak? It can't be helped, I dragged you all the way here with no consideration so I'll take responsibility for my crap. But don't get the wrong idea, it's not like I'm saying we're friends... Whatever, it really sounds like I'm making myself sound desperately to need a friend. HUH?! NEED/WANT what the heck? I mean if you want to be friends that's alright but don't come shedding your leaves crying if I'm too mean to you, I didn't bring you all the way here just because I wanted to save you from being the center of attention and eventually regretting it!"

Lea stared blankly at Reina, feeling the gears turning in her head until she realized what had thrown her out of whack. It was the mention of her being from Brazil. "I'm not from Brazil, I'm from Venezuela. I lived near the border to Brazil, though! So I speak Spanish, English and a little bit of Portuguese. All the tourists just laughed at me whenever I tried to speak, though, I guess my accent was funny." She stuck her green tongue out and grabbed Reina's hand.

"Don't worry, I promise I won't cry... Too much! Let's go to the others. Maybe we'll find a Brazilian boy in the crowd for you, Reina!" Lea smirked at her new friend, making sure she could stand by herself before pulling her towards the bigger congregation of people. "C'mon, if we talk much longer they'll think we're actual girlfriends like you said, dummy."

Gabriel

Gabriel turned, slightly startled as she felt someone tapping her shoulder from behind, and came face to face with a bundle of red hair, and a pair of imploring green eyes. Now, Gabriel didn't usually share her food, but that was mostly because nobody ever asked.

With a grin, Gabriel pulled out a ready-made sandwich, offering it to the girl. "Peanut butter."

Oh, she should also probably get her to stop swatting the wasps. She was pretty sure that they were a person, or at least sapient. Hurting the bugs might be something of a health hazard to whoever was behind their consciousness.

"Yeah, you might want to stop doing that," she cautioned, placing a hand on the one Temper was using to bat them away. "I'm pretty sure that these wasps are a person. Or something. They can talk, so I'm pretty sure. Besides, they gave me honey, so they're fine in my book."

So his reason to be there was simply and only for fun. Like he said before, it was something he couldn't feel. If it was a normal person, they would feel envy. He couldn't. "I see. So you don't have a truly serious goal. Rather, you're doing this just for the experience..." Agni commented. He didn't know what to say anymore. He kept looking around, trying to see if he could find someone of the school staff, when suddenly...

*BANG*

"What was that loud echo? Did someone used a gun and shot someone else?" He asked. Another thing to notify: thanks to his lack of emotions, Agni's completely blunt. If he has an opinion of someone he might say it, with the risk of being mean, even though he never wanted to. "So this station is housing a murderer... where's the staff? We might die here." Agni commented.

The woman thankfully picked up the honey, before she began to spread it along bread and combined it with peanut butter - a delicacy that Henry himself had never tried.

"Uh ... huh. Hey, thanks. Can't tell if I'm actually lookin' at you, but thanks. You're a pretty swell ... uh, guy? Er, what's your name anyhow?"

It seemed that the offering had succeeded in "Breaking the ice." Now Henry would simply need to learn the woman's name, her hobbies, favorite color, and offer to let her copy his homework if she forgets. Then, they would be friends. Preparing himself to respond, Henry was interrupted as another person swatted several of the wasps that had pushed the succulent treat over to the women. Henry had saw her in the crowd earlier, but had just noticed her appear - while the swatting itself was easy to ignore, it had nearly crippled one of the wasps that had gotten severely hit - not too much of a problem, since there were 2000 more, but Henry still needed time to set up the new nest before he could risk having wasps die.

"Yeah, you might want to stop doing that, I'm pretty sure that these wasps are a person. Or something. They can talk, so I'm pretty sure. Besides, they gave me honey, so their fine in my book."

immediately, the intensity of the buzzing insects increased - excellent, she did recognize him as a friend! Perfect, most of the other steps could be skipped in that case. Simply learning her name would suffice. The woman who had smacked him suddenly swore in response, before beginning to stumble with her words. Henry realized this was an excellent time to establish a "cool guy" impression by kindly dismissing the rude action, but before he had the chance, a burst of wind dragged his form apart temporarily.

Luckily, no wasps were injured in the sudden shock wave, but as the air rushed to fill in places where it was somehow displaced, the force was strong enough to drag the wasps apart. It merely took a few seconds to return to their original positions, but it was still very disconcerting.

The girl seemed to have moved her original position, and was bearing a somewhat plain lunchbox containing a collection of insects. Henry had long ago forsaken the disgust most people get when looking at bugs, a necessity considering his situation, and listened to the woman speak.

"I'm terribly sorry for that. I didn't even consider the possibility you might be more than you seemed. Here, I got these for you."

"Thanks. Name Henry. Male. Nice meet both you."

Suddenly, a dilemma occurred - while the second girl was kind enough to use her abstraction (Some form of super speed? Having enough time to fill a lunch box eliminated teleporting.), Henry was not sure if he could lift the metallic box with only a few wasps. He easily could using his entire body, but that would freak the woman out, and he didn't want to scare away potential friends.

"Please, put on ground."

Charles would look around and notice many of the other students had formed into groups and he would sigh at that sight "This always happens in schools.." he says to himself "though not normally this fast" he jokes slightly with himself. before jumping slightly at the loud sound looking over to strangest group confused at what just happened but shakes his head. "this is going to be a long school year of randomness" he states outwardly, before trying to figure out if he should associate with a group or not.
He would scratch his head while he thought about what group seemed to fit him better just by the appearance. Talking to cute girls on a day to day basis would be hard, The other group would be easier thanks to the swarm person but also disconcerting. Then the final group of guys seemed like he would stick out like a sore thumb so he decides to just sit on the ground and sigh. There was one other person standing by themselves but they seemed like they wanted to be alone for the time being so he decides not to mess with them. He looks around to see if any figure that could look like a faculty member could be around.

Aaron listened to Agni's question and as he was about to answer the loud explosion sound, caused by Temper, disrupted him and suddenly sent his mind into a frenzy. Was it a gun, can't have been no bullet, was it an explosion, no burning, was it a signal, no were the only ones around. He scanned around seeing Temper and noticing she had different items in her hands than when he last saw. He put his hand into his pocket and grabbed a 10p coin, just in case.
"Either this is a test or someone here has a massive downside to their power, that will annoy me to no end."

Gabriel

Gabriel snickered, clearly amused by how flustered Temper was. The girl clearly felt bad, but was also tripping over her words. She was able to settle down just as a loud bang echoed around the girl. Gabriel jumped a bit, the loud sound startling her, even as she pushed the hair out of her face to see Temper smiling, arm outstretched and holding a lunchbox full of insects.

Clearly, this was her way of apologizing to Henry, as the swarm of bugs identified himself. Well if her way of making amends normally involved food, then that was a-okay with her!

"Hey no problem," she replied, before grinning and reaching out to pluck a beetle from the pile, right before she could put it down, "so long as you don't mind sharing." She promptly tossed the thing into her mouth whole, and was rewarded with a satisfying crunch as beetle juice flooded her mouth.

"You don't mind me havin' one, do you Henry?" she said, still chewing on the bug. "I've got a bunch of other snacks to spare, in return."

@Genni@Duoya

What was that? Reina's thoughts on queue were a legion, after hearing the loud noise not so far from her direction thus giving her plentiful of assumptions, she immediately assumed that it was probably an outside event and completely irrelevant to their cozy situation inside therefore dismissing whatever probability of the root cause. Spanish and Portuguese, a multilingual huh? In that case....Reina's thoughts started processing the languages and makes her attempt to test it on Spanish first, surprisingly she's able to communicate it well; "No me gustan las chicas, simplemente no sabía qué decirte en ese momento. Bien por mí, vamos a ver a los demás y establecer camaradería." To put it blunt, no one could tell what Reina is thinking right at the moment and it's either she still wants to know about the loud bang or not.

The way Reina picked up the language was all thanks to her dictionary app in her smart phone by simply looking and saying a word from Spanish/Portuguese.

Reina grabs Lea's hand again. "I'm bored now.." Immediately she loses interest hanging out in one place "Vamos tentar sair com aqueles viciados em comida, estou com fome, afinal, e você?" Then suddenly she tried Portuguese on Lea after Spanish, her accent still shows sign of Asian and grammar lapses but for someone who have the ability of Mirror Shadow compensated for the learning process. "Sheesh... my tongue is all tongue tied now." She tried to say a couple more lines but her thought process lagged and forgot the said languages. "Oh well, I guess I can't be a master of all things overnight! HASHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" She laughed out loud. Reina takes out a bag of potato chips from her bag , consomme flavored, I'll take a potato chip and eat it! The most noticeable thing would be, Reina's eyes are not glowing purple anymore.
@TheHangedMan @Duoya @Frettzo @Genni
Out of curiosity, Reina with Lea approaches the good looking group.
With no sense of space Reina threw her bag of food in table, to some it means she doesn't have manners or just plain rude. The food she have were her 3 Lunch Boxed Bento, lots of rice, sushi, sashimi, salmon and tonkatsu. Good enough for sharing.

"You guys~ Don't mind if we join you?" As always, even back in Singapore, Reina flaunts her spoiled brat manner of interrupting people's conversations. Not to mention since she comes from a wealthy family, her logic is the vast amount of material things would impress people automatically. This goes without saying that she mocked one of them a while ago, the girl with the nice body.

"I see. So it's an downside of an Alternation. I'm sorry, I rose a false alarm for nothing. We're not getting killed on purpose then." He said. Looking at the direction Aaron was aiming, it was the girl who ate a lot, the girl who looked bored to death and the wasp. Possibly one of the Alterations had something to do with the *BANG*, but investigating wasn't the idea that came up. Rather, Agni felt as if Aaron was bored to talk with him.

"If I am bothering you with my coldness, just say it. If I am, I'll do what I can to not bother you. If you want to meet the others, I have... no problem with it, I guess." He said.

Discussion rose all around him, breaking like water. But it was somewhat interesting at least. If his ears and general sense of what was going on did not fail him there was a student who's body consisted of wasps. Samson wondered what that was like. Could see through hundreds of eyes and feel through hundreds of bodies? It would certainly be something incomparable to any human experience. Suddenly a bang rang out across the assembled students, drawing the eyes of many and a flurry of discussion. Samson twitched irritably and adjusted his dress clothes slightly before he turned to the source: his blurry vision informing him of nothing, but his red eyes probably uncanny to look into all the same. Although compared to a human made of wasps, perhaps not so uncanny. "Would you mind keeping the disruptive noises such as that down please, such noises can be rather distressing, especially when unexpected. And given the situation, it's likely best to wait for a staff member from the academy rather than causing a ruckus. " Samson said in the general direction of Temper before closing his eyes and returning to his pseudo-meditation, or perhaps attempts to sleep as it would look to anyone observing him.

Suddenly as everyone is talking a loud horn can be heard, as a minibus pulls up next to the platform. Callum walks out "Alright kids, pack your stuff up and comeo n, time's a wasting." His faint Scottish accent prevailed and his bus had "Mana-Script written in bold on both sides.

Charles looks over and grins as the bus pulls up. "about time" he would state as he stood up and immediately gets onto the minibus taking a seat in the 2nd row taking the window seat, as he looks out to the other students as they had begun to climb aboard. He'd wander what this school had ready for them after all this. He'd look up to the roof of the minibus and closes his eyes allowing himself to fall into a semi-deep thought about his own ability wonder what else can come from it. He hasn't played much mmorpgs since they was to similar so he normally gets bored easily with them, after a few minutes he'd pull out a PSP Vista and start playing it.

Once he finished speaking, the hungry woman responded to Temperance's thanks with a few words, and by snatching one of the escaping beetles from the lunch box.

"You don't mind me havin' one, do you Henry? I've got a bunch of other snacks to spare, in return."

"Negative. Sharing foundation of Friendship."

Excellent - Henry was officially friends with at least two other people, and judging by the various kids splintering off into separate factions, he was also part of a 'group,' or 'clique.' Excellent.

Speaking of factions, both the girl that was rude to the hungry one, and the leaf girl had returned. Henry briefly contemplated whether aggressiveness would be appropriate, considering the Asian girl was somewhat mean to his new friend, but he chose against it. He didn't want to make enemies, since that would simply bothersome and take up time.

"Would you mind keeping the disruptive noises such as that down please, such noises can be rather distressing, especially when unexpected. And given the situation, it's likely best to wait for a staff member from the academy rather than causing a ruckus. "

Henry silently decided to follow the statement, doing his best to lower the intensity of his buzzing. He knew that he must have been a bother to most of the kids here, especially considering his strange physiology. Avoiding conflict and trying to pass with as little resistance as possible was the best course of action. Almost immediately, however, this request of silence was broken by the resonating sound of a horn, coming from a bus that had just arrived. Temperance was kind enough to use her sped to secure the group a spot in the back of the bus. With another loud bang, Henry's form was once again scattered.

Rather than waste the time and gather back into a humanoid form, Henry instead had the majority of his form follow several other students onto the bus. Only 100 remained, and they moved all of Henry's luggage onto the bus - right next to the lunchbox that Temperance had made for him. In all, the space on the seat wasn't even completely filled, and while he could have sat down right there, he didn't want to cause his new friends discomfort - his form was rather intimidating, especially for those not well acquainted with him. Sitting down would simply cause the others to feel uncomfortable. Instead, all of Henry's wasps flew and collected on the roof, landing and being as quiet as possible. Only a single wasp remained on the seat that he had planned to sit at. Occasionally, the lone wasp would kill one of the insects, before carrying it and switching places with one of the wasps in the corner of the bus.

Samson frowned at the curt dismal he'd received. Well it didn't matter, the bus had arrived as signaled by the loud horn and person talking, so as long as-

*BANG*

...

He had a feeling whoever was doing that would cause him no lack of irritation in the future. He would simply have to do his best to avoid them, which would be easier once they weren't all herded into the exact same spot. Rather than rushing onto the bus for prime seating, as was inevitable, Samson simply waited for the others to board. He had no intention of shoving and pushing against others when he had no preference for his seat and could just wait regardless. Samson would likely be last to board the bus unless some student had a fanatical obsession with being last or the staff member planned on waiting and would simply take whatever seat was available.
