Jacob was surprised at how many questions the younger girl asked him. He became a bit pale. He wasn't used to talk to people since most just stayed away from him. "M-my name is Jacob... Just got here this morning..." He wasn't going to tell her that he spent the night outside the house. That would be really embarrassing.

"Can I sit by you? I just came here yesterday. I have a room and a bed. I even have a new doll and new clothes. Do you have anything to play with." Mystique asked as she sat down next to Jacob.
"We could be friends, you know."

He looked away from her and focused in order to pick up everything she said and register it. It seemed he never had time to answer anything. "No, I don't have anything to play with... But it doesn't matter wither way..." he mumbled. He wasn't sure why she would like to be friends with someone like him, but he thought that she wouldn't take "no" for an answer.

"Awww that's too bad." she looked at her doll. Then she remembered that she had an old rubber ball up in her room."I'll be right back." She hurried off to her room and took out the old red rubber ball and hurried back to the kitchen.
"Here is a ball for you so you have a toy. I have three more so its ok. Besides if we are to be friends, we need to share and help each other, right?"

The boy looked away with a slight blush when the girl smiled and nodded in reply, a little unsure about giving or being given direct eye contact. Taking the tablet back carefully, he switched the voice back to the setting he usually used. "You're welcome."
The British accent he had become so used to hearing was oddly comforting after being unable to communicate as regularly even for just that afternoon. Perhaps he had become a little too dependent on the device, but it was just so much easier to have it around. "The rooms are just upstairs. I'll take you to them."
Turning back to the hallway, he slowly led them up to the stairs, trying to make sure that he didn't lose them on the way until he reached the upper landing. From there, he brought them down the dormitory hallway until he found two of the empty rooms still available. "These tow should still be open. We will be called to breakfast by the bell in the morning. Have a good night." Bowing his head slightly out of habit, he quickly left back down the hall to his own room to get ready for bed. The next day would likely be even busier, with the return to the normal schedule, so getting some rest sounded like the best idea in the world at the moment.
When he woke up the next morning to the sound of the bell, the dark haired boy blinked the sleep slowly out of equally dark eyes and noticed that somehow, he had gotten through the night without another nightmare. Shifting his head on the pillow to look over at the tablet sitting on the table near his bed, along with his bell, he stayed there thinking for another minute before getting up and starting to ready himself for the day.
Once again, he knew that he shouldn't keep the housekeeper waiting if he could avoid it. That was routine. He couldn't break it without permission.

Aaron did his best to get settled into his new room. It was not fancy like it had. been at the estate, but that much was to be expected. He took a seat on his bed. When he finally got there, tears streamed down his cheeks. He had made it; his trials were over. Aaron wanted nothing more than to finally be able to settle down, after all that had he had gone through on the streets.
After calming down, he opened up his bag that had be slung over his shoulder all day, and actually all years. Inside were his books. He had used them to keep himself busy, and calm, when he was on the streets. Other than his sister, they were the only thing he had fond memories of. He took out his copy of Lord Byron's Don Juan, and read it for a little bit, until Aaron was ready for that much-wanted sleep.
Aaron woke up to the smell of bacon. He was glad to be woken to the smell of bacon. Aaron thought to dress himself, but he then remembered he was wearing his only clothes. A little embarrassed about how he must look, he slowly got out of bed and went downstairs.

[Leera]
Leera smiled after her little show of power, though felt considerably drained afterwards, and slowly started to drop towards the ground, just barely catching herself in a crouching position. Bironica came running over, kneeling beside Leera. "Are you okay?" Bironica asked Leera, already trying to grab her friend by the shoulders and lift her up. "Yeah yeah... I'm... alright." Leera said, almost about to push Bironica off, but didn't have the strength to do it. With Bironica's help, Leera stood up off the ground, and looked over at Josive holding both Leera's and Bironica's bags.
[Josive]
The orphanage lady, the one in charge Josive could only assume, announced demonstration was over for the day, and it was time to head off upstairs. Josive turned back towards Leera and Bironica, huffing over too them with his friends' three bags. "You didn't... have to pack so heavy ya know..." "And you... didn't have to... run from the orphanage... either." Leera managed to get out in-between breaths. "No no Leera, don't speak, you just exerted yourself... don't waste your energy more than you need to." Bironica scolded Leera, who simply rolled her eyes in response. "You two didn't have to come along at any point... neither of you received a letter, so you might just be sent back anyway." Josive said to his two friends.
The three of them walked after the crowd, following them up the stairs. "Well, goodnight ladies. See ya in the morning." Josive bowed to his friends, setting the bags at his feet and opening the door for them both. After they entered, he slid the bags in through the door, and closed it behind him before they could reply.
He walked off towards his own room, threw off his backpack, and tossed himself on the bed. "I could get used to this. My own room, my own bed... what next... my own meal?" he laughed to himself, before slowly dozing off and falling asleep on top of the covers.
[Bironica]
Bironica walked Leera over to the bed, setting her down on the side of it. "Alright, alright, I can take care of myself now." Leera waved her friend away. Bironica let out a small sigh, "Are you sure? I'll be right in the next room if you need anything." she said, standing up and slowly backing up for the door. Once she got there, she stopped, and waited for Leera to respond. She didn't. Bironica let out another sigh, and picked up purse, throwing it over her shoulder, and picking up her other bag, leaving Leera's bag behind. "Goodnight." she said, closing the door and walking next door to her own room.
Upon entering her own room, Bironica breathed in heavily, trying to smell the air insider her room. "Huh, no stinky cheese smell." she wondered to herself. She smiled, before leaping into the bed and grabbing the nearest pillow to terrorize. After she got her excitement out, she sat there for a few moments, taking in the room. It wasn't much... but it was much, much more than she had ever had. It would do nicely.
[Leera]
Leera woke up first, a change of pace in her life. It was usually Bironica who woke up first, all excited and hyper, ready to tackle the day with everything she got. But today, Leera was up first. She just woke up from a nightmare, a nightmare brought on from her dark powers... one outcome she had forgotten after not using her powers in a long time. She had already forgotten what the nightmare was about... but she didn't want to let it go. She wanted to remember what it was about, what made her so afraid... but she couldn't.
She shuddered it off, standing out of bed, and getting a quick change of clothes. After that, she opened her door and stepped outside her room, half-expecting Bironica to come jumping out at her. It was quiet. Almost too quiet. She slowly walked over to Bironica's room, and opened the door... to find her all cozied up in the blanket and all the pillows she could find in the room. Leera smiled a little bit, never having the chance to ever watch her friend sleep. It was adorable, almost like a puppy-dog chasing something in it's dream.
[Bironica]
"Wakey wakey! Rise and shine!" Leera screamed over Bironica, giving her friend a mighty scare as she leaped out from under the covers like a loose spring in the mattress. "WAH! OH! WHO? WHERE!" she screamed, holding a pillow in front of her like a shield from the attacking monster. Once she got a good look at the laughing-fit filled monster, known as Leera, she tossed her pillow menacingly at her, who didn't even blink at the horrible attack.
"Don't DO THAT!" Bironica yelled at her, scooping up the blankets around her and holding them tighter around her. "It gives me the heebie-jeebies... Bironica frowned at her friend, feeling genuinely afraid. "Ooooh, toughen up you! That was nothing." Leera bellow at Bironica, cross-referencing her nightmare as she said those words... but still not quiet remembering what it was about. "Come on, hurry up already. I'm never awake before you. Leera said to her friend, before walking out the door without her. "W-wait! I'm coming!" Bironica yelled out, quickly digging through her clothing and throwing something on as fast as she possibly could.
[Josive]
Josive woke up in his own bed, well rested, and refreshed. He leaned upwards, stretching after a few moments of just sitting there, then swung his feet over the ledge of the bed. He grabbed his book out of his bag, and quickly wrote down a quick draft of his dream, then closing it and setting it on the bed. He pulled out his little pouch out of his backpack, and put his book and pencil in it before zipping it up and leaving it on the bed. After getting dressed, he grabbed his book/pencil bag, tossed it over his shoulder, and walking outside his room.
The quick scent of bacon teased Josive in the opposite direction, but he continued onward towards his friends. By the time he reached them, he heard a bell ring off in the distance, signaling everyone else to wake up and come eat. "Good morning." Josive greeted, waving them after him and turning around to lead the way. "So, everyone have a nice sleep?" Josive asked his friends. He looked at Leera, who avoided his glare and question somberly.
"Oh, oh! I slept well! I had a dream, that I was outside the house, dancing with the grass!" Bironica leaped into the air with her enthusiasm. "Oh... wait... I did that yesterday. Nevermind! I can't remember what I dreamed about." Bironica giggled innocently. Leera grunted lightly, storming off ahead of Josive and Bironica. "What's her problem?" Josive asked. Bironica shrugged.
Leera smiled after her little show of power, though felt considerably drained afterwards, and slowly started to drop towards the ground, just barely catching herself in a crouching position. Bironica came running over, kneeling beside Leera. "Are you okay?" Bironica asked Leera, already trying to grab her friend by the shoulders and lift her up. "Yeah yeah... I'm... alright."

Katherin woke to the sounds of kids. It was a nice sound. Better than some of the sounds she had woken to in the past. She smiled as she climbed out of bed. It took her some time to get dressed. She had to learn where everything was kept and that would take time. She hoped that she didn't look bad. The bad thing about being blind was that she had no idea what she was wearing. She straightened her clothing and hoped for the best as she headed out of her room.

Jacob looked confused at Mystique as she ran away and probably looked even more confused when she came back and gave him a toy. He accepted it and looked up at her. "Are you sure...?" he asked. He had never had an actual toy before and usually just listened to the old lady he lived with or were out playing in the woods near their house. He bounced it once and caught it when it came back up. He had seen other kids play with them so he knew how they worked. After he caught it he looked at it, amazed that it actually worked. He then looked up at Mystique again. "Thank you." he said smiling.

When Jacob asked if she was sure, Mystique nodded with a big smile for she was sure that he would refuse her ball because it was not a new toy. When he bounced the ball and it came back up to his hand, his face looked like he was delighted to Mystique.
"You are welcome. I have played different games with a ball so if you want to play a game, I'll play with you." she spoke warmly.

He nodded at her suggestion. "But wait a moment..." he said before he closed his eyes and turned his palm with the ball upwards. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes before wind started twirling in his palm, lifting up the ball. A mini-tornado with a ball flying around in it. He opened his eyes and did the same thing with the other hand and sent the ball flying between the two of mini-tornados.

[Josive] [Bironica] [Leera]
Josive lead his friends into the cafeteria... kitchen... dining room... whatever it actually was, he wasn't perfectly sure. The orphanage lady said it was the kitchen before... But who eats in a kitchen? He shrugged, and walked on in. He looked around, but didn't see anyone eating yet. "I guess we just have to wait to eat." he said, leading his two friends off to a nearby table. "Well, this is nice! Much better than the five chair, one broken chair, table we were used to." Bironica said, plumping down on the bench and lifting her legs over a bar so she could face the table. "I'd still prefer something softer." Leera said, her arms already folded. "Come on, just sit Leera." Josive said, sitting across from Bironica. "I'm not going to stand here... just prefer something softer... not something too bad to say, is it Mr. cop?" Leera rolled her eyes, taking a seat next to Bironica.
"So, what do you think of this place so far? Suit your taste for fancy delight?" Leera asked Josive, leaning forward on her arms as she talked. "It's not about how fancy it is... it's... it's about fitting in. Having other's like me- like us... that understand us. People we can fit in with, will actually like us, and not be afraid of us whenever we make a mistake to show our powers." Josive replied. "So, what... we don't count as people who 'actually like you'? Is that what you're saying?" Leera said, feeling a little hurt inside, but not showing it physically. "Wha- no... that's not what I meant. Of course you two are my friends, and I'll love you both forever because of that! It's just..." he started to say back, but couldn't think of how to finish his sentence. "-you want more? Two just isn't good enough." Leera sneered, almost ready to stand up and just leave the table... but something held her back.
Meanwhile, while Josive and Leera were busy yacking back and forth, Bironica was staring over at a white-haired kid with bright blue eyes. He looked... familiar... for some reason. "Hey, is that... Jacob?" She said, but not daring to take her eyes off of him in case he moved. "It's not like that! I just want to fit in for once in my life! Can't you see that Leera?" Josive fought back at Leera, his voice getting just a little louder, but not loud enough for anyone to overhear. "Well, if you could just stop being a spoiled pr-" Leera started, but Bironica bumped Leera in the arm and started, "Hey! Guyyysss! Who is that over there? It looks like Jacob. You know, for the orphanage we just came from?" she said, continuing her stare at Jacob... whether or not he noticed. "Come on, let's go see!" she jumped up, and started for his table as her two friends just sat there.
"Hey! You are Jacob!" Bironica yelled in Jacob's face through the ball he was whirlwinding with his powers. "I didn't know you had powers! And, you ended up here too? Did you follow us or something? Come on, tell us your story!" she interrogated Jacob, leaning closer and closer with each question. Josive came up behind Bironica, standing on her left. Leera came up, arms folding across already, and stood right of Bironica. "Sheesh Bironica, think you could cool down for a second? You might give him a heart attack or something." Leera said to Bironica, while trying to avoid Josive's stare from the other side. "Oh, right... sorry." Bironica said, turning her head down and taking a step back. It only took a second before she looked up again, and had another smile on her face. "So, who's this? You two... hanging out together, or what?" Bironica asked, looking at the red-haired girl.
[???]
The lady and the child that had walked straight into the police station, pushing the doors open into the main area all the officers worked. The phones were ringing, voices yelling, doors being slammed opened as cops rushed out, or rushed in. Almost no one noticed the two strange sights walking in like they owned the place, except for the new kid. The young man quickly bolted into the chief's office, and notified him immediately.
"Thank you son. For that, your're getting a promotion." the chief said to he greenhorn very cherry-like. "W-wait, really? This soon?" the young man said, honestly shocked at the offer his superior had just offered him. "Of course not! Now out, scram! Go clean the cells or something." the chief yelled, waving his hat at the other officer, sending him out of his office and downstairs to the cell rooms. "Bloody waste of time that roach is..."
"Who are you, what are you doing in my department?" the chief asked the lady and child as he bolted over towards them. "I can have you thrown in these cells just for disturbing our very busy workforce!" he threatened. The other officers were starting to notice, one by one, and slow down the production line the chief had gotten in place. "What are you all looking at! Back to work!" he yelled at them, waving his hat before putting it back on his head.
When the chief turned back to face the lady, he bumped his nose in her identification card. He snatched it out of her fingers greedily, holding it up close to his eyes, before pushing it slowly back until he could read it properly. "F.B.I. are ye? Since when do they send mama's with their children? And, with the way you look, I wouldn't take you much more for a s-" he started to say, hardly changing his attitude towards the two.
"We're here on official business. There has been a runaway as of late, and we need a warrant to get her back." the lady replied, cutting the chief off at the end. "An F.B.I. agent on the case of a runaway? Ha!" the chief laughed, handing the card back and turning back to his office. "She crossed state lines, and she's much more dangerous than any of your men." she said, standing there as if she still had the upper-hand somehow. The chief waved his hands back at her, continue his strut back to his office. "Yeah yeah, just send it up the line, your'll get a warrant... but not from me! I'm too bloody busy to bloody care." he said, stepping one foot into his office. "Lucy." the woman smirked, stopping the man instantly.
Some of the officers stopped their work, and turned to their chief in command, who was stunned where he stood. He quickly turned back, with obvious fear in his eyes. It didn't take long before they turned into anger, and he charged the lady and the child, pushing them outside. "I don't know what your game is, but this is considered harassment, and I'll take you in for it!" the chief yelled, holding his hands up in anger.
"So? Sue me. I'm sure your'd be happy I get finned, fired, and whatever else would happen, especially after your wife leaves you. You know she knows just as much as everyone else in the department. So, why don't you just make this easier on yourself, and give us what we want, capiche?" she said to the man. The man started to sweat, his fear boiled away by this time. His hands started to shake, before he tossed them to the side and stormed back inside, the woman and child smiling.

Jacob?" She said, but not daring to take her eyes off of him in case he moved. "It's not like that! I just want to fit in for once in my life! Can't you see that Leera?" Josive fought back at Leera, his voice getting just a little louder, but not loud enough for anyone to overhear. "Well, if you could just stop being a spoiled pr-" Leera started, but Bironica bumped Leera in the arm and started, "Hey! Guyyysss! Who is that over there? It looks like Jacob. You know, for the orphanage we just came from?" she said, continuing her stare at Jacob... whether or not he noticed. "Come on, let's go see!" she jumped up, and started for his table as her two friends just sat there.
"Hey! You are Jacob!" Bironica yelled in Jacob's face through the ball he was whirlwinding with his powers. "I didn't know you had powers! And, you ended up here too? Did you follow us or something? Come on, tell us your story!" she interrogated Jacob, leaning closer and closer with each question. Josive came up behind Bironica, standing on her left. Leera came up, arms folding across already, and stood right of Bironica. "Sheesh Bironica, think you could cool down for a second? You might give him a heart attack or something." Leera said to Bironica, while trying to avoid Josive's stare from the other side. "Oh, right... sorry." Bironica said, turning her head down and taking a step back. It only took a second before she looked up again, and had another smile on her face. "So, who's this? You two... hanging out together, or what?" Bironica asked, looking at the red-haired girl.
Sometime yesterday...
[???]
The lady and the child that had walked straight into the police station, pushing the doors open into the main area all the officers worked. The phones were ringing, voices yelling, doors being slammed opened as cops rushed out, or rushed in. Almost no one noticed the two strange sights walking in like they owned the place, except for the new kid. The young man quickly bolted into the chief's office, and notified him immediately.
"Thank you son. For that, your're getting a promotion." the chief said to he greenhorn very cherry-like. "W-wait, really? This soon?" the young man said, honestly shocked at the offer his superior had just offered him. "Of course not! Now out, scram! Go clean the cells or something." the chief yelled, waving his hat at the other officer, sending him out of his office and downstairs to the cell rooms. "Bloody waste of time that roach is..."
"Who are you, what are you doing in my department?" the chief asked the lady and child as he bolted over towards them. "I can have you thrown in these cells just for disturbing our very busy workforce!" he threatened. The other officers were starting to notice, one by one, and slow down the production line the chief had gotten in place. "What are you all looking at! Back to work!" he yelled at them, waving his hat before putting it back on his head.
When the chief turned back to face the lady, he bumped his nose in her identification card. He snatched it out of her fingers greedily, holding it up close to his eyes, before pushing it slowly back until he could read it properly. "F.B.I. are ye? Since when do they send mama's with their children? And, with the way you look, I wouldn't take you much more for a s-" he started to say, hardly changing his attitude towards the two.
"We're here on official business. There has been a runaway as of late, and we need a warrant to get her back." the lady replied, cutting the chief off at the end. "An F.B.I. agent on the case of a runaway? Ha!" the chief laughed, handing the card back and turning back to his office. "She crossed state lines, and she's much more dangerous than any of your men." she said, standing there as if she still had the upper-hand somehow. The chief waved his hands back at her, continue his strut back to his office. "Yeah yeah, just send it up the line, your'll get a warrant... but not from me! I'm too bloody busy to bloody care." he said, stepping one foot into his office. "Lucy." the woman smirked, stopping the man instantly.
Some of the officers stopped their work, and turned to their chief in command, who was stunned where he stood. He quickly turned back, with obvious fear in his eyes. It didn't take long before they turned into anger, and he charged the lady and the child, pushing them outside. "I don't know what your game is, but this is considered harassment, and I'll take you in for it!" the chief yelled, holding his hands up in anger.
"So? Sue me. I'm sure your'd be happy I get finned, fired, and whatever else would happen, especially after your wife leaves you. You know she knows just as much as everyone else in the department. So, why don't you just make this easier on yourself, and give us what we want, capiche?" she said to the man. The man started to sweat, his fear boiled away by this time. His hands started to shake, before he tossed them to the side and stormed back inside, the woman and child smiling.

He was about to thank Mystique yet again, but suddenly a girl jumped up in his face, causing him to fall backwards with his chair. Luckily he managed to stop by blowing some wind behind him at the last second. How did they know his name? They certainly talked like they knew him. He recognized them, but couldn't place their names or where he had seen them. "E-excuse me, but who are you...?" he asked. He didn't really hang out with the other children at the other orphanage, so he didn't know them. The only one he really "hung out" with was the old lady that took care of the orphanage.

Mystique frowned at the girls and their line of questioning and was have trouble controlling her anger. If anyone of care to notice, a small cloud was beginning to form of her head.
"You don't have to be so pushy and why do you need to know about us any ways? It's not like you are a friend to either one of us. I doubt that you really care about us but what you could get from us. " Mystique spoke softly as the cloud grew larger.

"E-excuse me, but who are you...?" Jacob asked, obviously shocked at the sudden barrage of questions by the hyper girl. "Oh, yeah... you probably don't know us. We didn't really hang out with anyone else in the orphanage... I just remembered your name, and that you were the caretaker's favorite." Bironica said, leaning back and feeling a tiny bit sad about not having been remembered. She shook it off, and pointed at Josive. "That's Josive," then at Leera, "Leera," then at herself, "And Bironica!" she said with a raise of her arms, closing her eyes and tilting her head in an innocent manner. "Glad we could formerly meet now!" she added.
The moment the redheaded girl started fuming, Bironica took notice and stepped back a foot or two. "You don't have to be so pushy and why do you need to know about us any ways?" the girl asked, fuming with anger and forming a cloud over her head. "Wah? Pushy? I-" she started, being cut off as the girl continued. "It's not like you are a friend to either of us." she said. "No... but-" "I doubt that you really care about us but what you could get from us." Mystique continued in her extremely powerful, yet quiet, whisper. "No no... we just... I..." Bironica tried to speak, but she couldn't find any words. Bironica looked at Jacob, then back at the girl, and back at Jacob again. The second time she looked at Jacob, tears started to form in her eyes...
"Hey hey now, you can't talk to her like that!" Josive said, grabbing Bironica's shoulder to try and calm her down. "Who do you think you are, accusing our friend like that!" Leera jumped in, grabbing Bironica's other shoulder and lightly pushing her behind her, while holding onto both of Bironica's arms. "She wasn't being pushy, first of all. And we don't have to be a friend to just say 'hello'. And what would we gain from asking you questions? I mean really, what kind of person would just instantly accuse someone of something like that?" Josive said. Josive had already forgotten his argument with Leera just moments before, but was now even more angry at this here girl than he had ever been with Leera. No one speaks to my friends like that!

@KatherinWinter
The shy boy gallantly led them to their rooms. After helping Katherin settling into hers, Brigit just gave her a small peck on the forehead and went to her own room. Opening the door, she was surprised. A bed, a dresser and a cupboard. They were luxuries that she hadn't thought would be granted to her in this lifetime.
Spending most of her childhood rummaging through trash and sleeping on the streets, the linens and the mattress were something that wouldn't help her sleep. Plus, the room was filled with a homely warmth something that made her feel dizzy. So she opened the window to let the cool night wind come in. She was used to the harsh coldness of the ground, this warmth was a bit stifling. She had been in the cold so long that such warmth was overwhelming.
Finding more like her, then making a friend and then finally finding a bed. It felt like she didn't have many more things left on the bucket list. For the first time in her life she was happy and so she climbed the window and sat on the ledge outside it. Slowly relaxing into a sleep as she sit huddling her arms around her, the cold night wind hitting her and making her feel alive.
It was around five in the morning that the songbirds started singing which broke her reverie. Over the night she had changed postures and was now literally on the edge of the ledge. She helped herself up and went inside the room. Looking around for something to pass time. The power from last night was still raging on inside her, that hit from the girl was really something. She could go around without food for atleast month on this. But she was here to help channel this power into a better activity.
After she tried to copy what she saw old men in Chinatown do for their morning exercise. It was time for the breakfast, signified by the bell. She dusted herself off and went outside to sit in the hallway. Waiting for Katherin to come out. Once she did, she went upto her and put a hand softly on her shoulder to signal her presence.
It would have been better had she kept the tablet but she felt like she shouldn't misuse the good nature of the kind young man. Taking Katherin's hand and planting it on her shoulder, they walked down to the kitchen or atleast where she hoped the kitchen was judging from the squabble that was coming from one of the rooms.
Walking in they found a group of three in a verbal tussle with another group of two. It seemed like a normal settlement now. The girl from yesterday was in the three person group as well. Brigit gave her a long glance before finding a seat for Katherin and herself looking at the people from a distance.

"If someone gets so close to a person's face that it seems like he or she is nearly nose to nose, then in my book he or she is being pushy and rude. Also you interrupted our conversation which is rude. I don't want to seem mean but none of you even tried to be friends with me before so I simply happen to be suspicious. Particularly when Jacob didn't seem to know you either.
I am sorry to have made you cry but you could try to come up to someone a bit slower and more dignified if you wish to be friends or even if you wish to ask questions." Mystique calmed down a bit and the cloud stayed the same size and didn't get any greyer.

Jacob just looked at the other people when they started to argue. He wasn't used to it and probably looked a bit panicky. It seemed that they really were from the same orphanage, but he didn't really get along with anyone there. Some even bullied him for one reason or another, but he never told anyone that though. He didn't like to trouble anyone. And to think that Mysique was so aggressive about this. She actually intimidated even him.
He looked at Bironica and noticed that she actually started crying. He paled when her friends started to come closer, looking quite pissed. He stood up between Mysique and the other group. "C-can we please not fight..." he mumbled nervously. He didn't want to get into a fight on his first day, nor did he want to hurt them. He was pretty sure that they weren't going to listen to him though since Mystique had made her cry and they seemed quite close, so they weren't going to forgive her that easily.

[Josive] [Bironica] [Leera]
Bironica tried pulling out of Leera's grip to run away, but Leera held her firmly and spun around to face her, pushing herself and Bironica away from the others by a foot or two. "Hey hey, shh, shh... it's alright, they just don't understand." she whispered softly.

The red-haired girl said, trying to make amends at the end, showing signs that she was calming down a little.
Jacob stood up between the girl and the three friends. "C-can we please not fight..." he mumbled nervously. Josive just looked past him at the girl, pretending Jacob hadn't even stood up. "I'm sorry you have a short temper, and don't understand not everyone is like you. Yes, Bironica can be a little overbearing, but that's no reason to jump aboard the train to crazy town over something as little as an introduction! Plus, she didn't say hi to you, because she was busy trying to talk to Jacob, who she recognizes from where we were before. Not trying to be your friend has nothing to do with this... maybe we would have if you smiled and shook hands or something... but after this, I'm pretty sure that's now an option." Josive growled back, not getting any calmer.
"B-but... why would she- she just yell? I- just wanted to say hello..." Bironica sobbed to Leera. Leera held both of her arms and stared into her friend's eyes, "It's alright... she just thought you were being a little-" Leera stopped, trying to think of another word other than aggressive. "-can be a little overbearing-" she heard Josive just say. "Overbearing." She whispered back to Bironica, attempting to put on a smile. "B- but- but-" Bironica tried, but couldn't manage to think of anything else, so she just continued sobbing more. "There there Bironica... it's alright." Leera said, embracing her friend in a hug.

After finishing his preparations for the day, Kyo went back to the bedside table and placed the worn leather band carrying his bell around his wrist. He could never go anywhere without it, especially not if he was at risk of having another particularly bad episode. Once it was secure, he shook his wrist a could of times and smiled slightly at the chiming sound it made. It was always quite comforting to hear, even during that time before he arrived here.
Picking up the tablet and making sure that he had a spare hair tie in his pocket, the pale boy exited the room and closed the door softly. He walked down the halls at a calm pace, a little surprised that he didn't see anyone on his way. He didn't think that he had taken that long to get ready. Perhaps the others were just very quick.
But that meant that he was probably late, even if just by comparison. He couldn't keep everyone waiting, especially since he had been late just the day before. It was true that he couldn't really help it, but still...
Unfortunately, as he approached the dining area, he could hear sounds of arguing issuing forth. The boy hesitated, not sure that he wanted to get involve in any sort of argument, and definitely not this early in the morning. Whatever was going on, someone was already crying and someone was still sounding very angry. Eventually, he managed to build up enough courage to just peek around the corner. A few people were just sitting and watching, but one girl seemed to be trying to comfort another while another boy was growling loudly at another girl. A second boy looked on anxiously, and it seemed like things might be about to go out of control. About to panic himself, he looked around frantically to see if the housekeeper was anywhere nearby. If they weren't stopped, people could get seriously hurt. This wasn't likely to be a normal fight, no here.
