"So you have one of the more subtle powers?" Nikki grabbed onto a gym bag she had brought with her and pulled it closer to herself. "I got one of the powers people would call 'disgusting', heh."
Mark very slightly turned his head, as he kept his eyes on that bag. A small smile creeped up on his lips, as he briefly tried to think what relationship she had with the bugs in that little bag. It was obviously bugs: he could hear them. Not that it was his business to pry if she didn't want to expand on it further. He knew he didn't. But it was too late, and he had lost himself in his thoughts.
"So, what's your name?"
Oh dammit
He rose a palm to his head and with it obscured one of his eyes apologetically. He let out a small laugh.
"Sorry, sorry! I didn't mean to be so rude! My name's-"
"Hello Nikki! I hope I am not interrupting the conversation between the two of you!...", he turned to Mark, "...my name is Red Winston! Pleased to make your acquaitance!"
Mark dropped his hand back to his side as he looked at this new person.
...Just one more analysis. But don't you forget where the conversation is!
Red. Strange name. Was he born with it? I'd imagine so, and I have no clue what that speaks of his background, but I doubt that it is strictly 'ordinary'...
I tell anything about his powers just on looking at him.
Now why did he approach me? Well, we've got someone he knows here in the form of nervous Nikki, and he seems like the social type unlike the two of us. So if Nikki approached me because I looked normal, and she knows this person who also looks normal.. it would be safe to assume that he is either too social for her to handle all of the time, that he is a social butterfly, or that his ability is something that makes her feel uncomfortable around. As in, he has something that makes her not regard him as normal. Hmm.
I'm going to say that there is an 100% chance that this guy just wants to talk with people. There is literally no malice here. As for his relationship with Nikki.. I'm going to say its at 10% for him being too much for her to handle: why would she then approach me? Surely that would then just make more potential things to deal with. Social butterfly is seeming pretty likely. Thats getting a 55%. With someone like Nikki, from what I've seen anyway, it is quite likely that she will have been befriended, dragged along a bit, and then left on her own as he went off to different people. This is different from the first option, because that implies that she tried to get away from him.. That is almost definitely not the case if she went out of her way to greet me. Unless of course the final option is correct: she doesn't see him as a normal person. That would imply that she wouldn't be too against the idea of them being separated. But this is going to get 35%, because quite frankly, I can't tell what ability he has with a glance. That and he doesn't seem to want to show off, and being an extrovert, I highly doubt he would give up on that chance. But I just don't know, and I'm not going to dig. If I don't, then they shouldn't.
Now.. where were we? Ah, introductions.
With his thoughts in order, time snapped back to full flow.
"Hi! Glad to meet you!" He said this with as much enthusiasm as he could muster out of thin air. Which evidently wasn't enough to sound genuinely happy, but made sure he didn't sound sarcastic or dismissive.
"So I've just arrived today really. Did I miss anything important, like a safety drill or something? I don't know, this place is just far more insane than I was lead to believe!" He spoke to both of them, and this he said with genuine interest. He gave Nikki a slight smile with, as if to silently reassure her.
And although he had told himself not to forget where the conversation was.. he had forgotten to give his name.
