[IC] The Orphanage for the Unusual

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

Kyo nodded. Truthfully, he was a bit nervous about activating his power, but he knew that would not help him here. Taking a deep breath, he began to focus. For a moment, nothing happened, but soon there was a scent of cinnamon throughout the air. The room darkened, eventually blacking out completely, before nothing was visible. A light blossomed in the center of the room, followed by several more until the room looked to be full of fireflies or fairies. Thinking hard, he managed to create a very faint sound of bells chiming. So far, so good, but he probably couldn't do any more without losing control.

[KatherinWinter]

"Wonderful. I am sure the benefactor is pleased with all of you. Feel free to spend the rest of the morning interacting. This afternoon we start with weapons training. With the exception of Roxy, I expect all of you to be there. The bell will ring at lunch time." The housekeeper left the room.

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

Kyo relaxed and dropped the illusion before sitting down. He still felt slightly buzzed from the release of energy, and hoped it wouldn't lead to any outbursts later. He looked around at the other children in the room, wondering who to interact with.

[KatherinWinter]

"That was lovely, Kyo." Liz praised the boy. "That was a beautiful illustrations."

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

Kyo retrieved the pencil and paper from his pocket. Thank you. I was impressed by your display as well.

[KatherinWinter]

"That was hardly a scratch. I have healed much worse." Liz blushed as she realized she sounded like she was bragging. She hadn't spent any time around people her age. Liz wasn't sure what to do.

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

It's certainly a useful ability, I'm sure. You get tired if you use it a lot though, right?

[KatherinWinter]

"Yes. The more I heal the more tired it makes me. " Liz explained. " I must use my own energy to heal. It can be a very costly power. Does your ability have a cost?"

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

It isn't easy to control... and it tends to cause a lot of problems when I can't control it. Which is a lot of the time. I'm not always sure how much of what I see is really there sometimes, either.

[KatherinWinter]

"That must but difficult. Never knowing reality from illusion. But I am not sure I understand what you mean by causing problems when you can't control it. Are some of your illusions less...harmless?" Liz asks curiously.

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

Kyo took a moment to think about his response. Yes. They tend to have terrible...psychological consequences. For the most part. And then there's the potential for physical harm it can cause in others. Not knowing reality can do that, I guess.

[KatherinWinter]

Liz wasn't exactly sure what Kyo meant. But she figured she would discover wharf he meant sooner or later if he didn't have total control. "Hopefully you can learn to control it."

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

Hopefully. The thought of just how bad it could get was truly terrifying to him. And then, of course, there was the backlash. He didn't even want to think of the things his ability had made him see.

[Vortex]

"Well that was embarrassing..." Julius said. He felt bad that he let everyone down, not to mention himself.

[KatherinWinter]

Katherin turned her head in Julius' direction. "I dont think they expect perfection. Now that we have time to kill what shall we do? "

[Vortex]

"I still should have done better..." He muttered he then turned to face Liz "Uh... I don't know what would you like to do?"

[KatherinWinter]

Liz considered the question. " I have never been free to choose my own activities so I really cant say. Anyone have an idea? "

[Vortex]

Julius looked around to see if anyone had a idea, he then turned back to Liz and said "Not me"

Cenhelm, when hearing that it was all over, just sat in his seat. He was sitting with his legs crossed and his hands behind his head. He was tempted to go and talk to someone, but he decided against it. He would wait for someone to come to him.

[KatherinWinter]

Roxy wanted to leave. On one hand she could, but doing so seemed cowardly. Roxy decided she might as well try to spend some time with her 'partner'. She stormed over to Cenhelm. "I guess we should try to interact. "
