[IC] The Orphanage for the Unusual

[Zerofighter]

David woke up panting. He sighed and said "fucking narcolepsy.." He stretched and drank another energy drink. He heard the house keeper and sighed got up. He thought *even of we have these powers now one will accept us. Your trying to make us act like everyone else but were not like them."

Arabella has been curled up on the window seat, leaning against the window as she stared at the outside world. She had been doing that for 11 years, having never really been allowed outside. When the bell rang suddenly she squeaked, jumping almost a foot into the air from surprise. With a sigh she got up and trudged to the testing room.

[Tarantulass]

Finally finding the test rooms, she took a seat on the hallway next to it, waiting to be allowed in. However, she wasn't sitting there by herself for long as Rebecca could see some more or less familiar faces coming around rather shortly. "...Being late too?" she asked from the two people that had tugged along, while still trying hard to remind herself to keep her thoughts gray, boring and clean while being under the watchful eye of that boy.

[KatherinWinter]

"Enough negative thoughts. No one said this was going to be easy, but if the benefactor can make a place in the world for himself so can you. Right now you have to decide if your willing to try. We can just give you room and board, but that is not the goal of the orphanage. These test are just like ones taken by ordinary teens to find out what careers they are suited to. If you don't want to take the test you can leave, but you will not be allowed any training or education." The housekeeper gave each student a large pamphlet of paper and a pencil.

[Zerofighter]

David sighed and said "I will take it..." He picked up his pencil and read all the questions first. He began writing his answers down. As he wrote he saw familiar faces from before. David looked at them all and went back to his test. He soon finished it

[XxLyraxX]

Arabella took a seat and blinked as she was handed a test and pencil. What kind of jobs are open for someone who's only good at freezing everything she touches? Heh, maybe if I learn to control my powers I could go into ice sculptures. She thought with a mental snort.

[Tarantulass]

Rebecca took the pamphlet and started filling it in, eyeing people on this later test. She was trying to be as honest in her answers as she could, even if they weren't so admirable to her... she just couldn't get the idea of a window cleaning out of her head, almost laughing at the thought of her walking across the outer wall of the empire state building with a mop. It took her some effort and time to finish, but she didn't have any major troubles, leaving the pen and paper in front of her on the desk as sign she was done, waiting further instructions.

[KatherinWinter]

"See that wasn't so hard. And it hardly even hurt. I know it is hard to believe there is a place for you. Believe me I was in your shoes many years ago. But more and more children are being born with abilities. You guys are paving the path for them. Your lucky the benefactor has already carved the path. You should spend sometime getting to know each other. Tomorrow we will test what your education level is. If you have any questions you can usually find me in the kitchen." The housekeeper said as she collected the tests.

With the slamming of the door against the wall, Adelaide made her grand entrance. She plopped herself into a chair and leaned back, placing her feet on the desk. "I missed the test again huh? Shame." She glanced around in disinterest. In all honesty she probably would've taken it but she found herself preoccupied with sleeping in and she was nursing a hangover. Her eyes were attracted to Arabella's white hair and she lifted one of her eyebrows at the girl. "Oi, that all natural? Must've took a toooon of bleach." She chuckled and fiddled with a pencil.

[KatherinWinter]

"You can still take the test Adelaide, but you know they're not required. The benefactor wants to make you a useful member of society, but he will not force you." The housekeeper barely acknowledge Adelaide's late arrival. "This is a safe place for all who are different."

[Zerofighter]

David sighed and ran his hand through his hair..He knew a lot thanks to his telepathy. He read the minds of teachers, and even college professors. He knew a lot but hated it. He hated reading any thoughts of people. David levitated a pen and made it spin. He made it launch like a dart.

[KatherinWinter]

"David I know it feels like you know everything. With your ability it is impossible for you not to know a lot. However there are still things for you to discover. You don't know anything about me or the benefactor. Plus the benefactor is working on a way to make your room so that you will not pick up the thoughts of others atleast within in that room." The housekeeper patted David fondly on the shoulder,before heading down the stairs.

[XxLyraxX]

Arabella glanced up when she thought she was being adressed and she looked over at Adelaide. She felt her cheeks tint pink. "I-It's natural." She said softly as she watched David levitate the pen. She looked back down and traced her finger softly over the surface of the desk though she jerked her hand away when frost began to spread where her finger touched.

[Zerofighter]

David thought *I will know about you both if I read your minds.* David got up and saw what Arabella did. He smiled at her "nice trick... I like it." He said "name is David."

[XxLyraxX]

Arabella looked up at David with startled eyes before she glanced down at the frost-covered desk before she blushed and hid her hands in her lap. "H-Hello. I-I'm Arabella. I-It's nice to meet y-you." She said softly, hiding her ice blue eyes under her snow white bangs.

[KatherinWinter]

As she rolled out the dough for bread the housekeeper wondered if the kids were getting to know each other. None of them came from positive background, so she couldn't really blame them for keeping to themselves. But keeping to themselves would not help them. If they couldn't interact with people who had similar problems how would they function in the real world.

[Zerofighter]

David smiled and said "your hair is lighter then mine. I'm jealous." He was trying to make small talk. Davidnsat and said "So where are you from Arabella?@

Kyo wandered around the halls, not entirely sure of where he was at the moment. He had heard the bells, but had succumbed to another trance before he could get to the testing room. After that, he just got lost due to being disoriented from his latest episode. He tried listening for voices in the surrounding rooms, hoping that one of them could give him a clue as to where everyone went. All the voices he could hear were pretty faint, though, so he continued down the hall to see if they would get louder.

[Nicias Askani]

Ashur was working on one of the heaters in the hallway when he heard someone coming. he glanced up to see kyo " everything alright Kyo?" he asked, while untwisting a screw with his telekinesis? he knew kyo's control wasnt all that great and was prone to hallucinations so he let out a small tk sonar pulse. his own way of checking his own reality while checking on Kyos as well.

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

Kyo looked up at Ashur, honestly very glad to see him. He walked right up to him and nodded, confirming that everything was okay. His power had gone back to a normal level after his last trance and hadn't started acting up again yet, so he figured it was safe for now. He thought to ask him about the others, but frowned when he realized that he didn't have anything to write with. He began to mime writing, hoping Ashur would understand that he was asking about the test.
