Paulina Benson
Paulina's grin widened as Korie arrived. "Why ever would we deny ourselves the pleasure of your company?" she jokingly asked as she quickly embraced the other girl. "The day is already brighter. Ready to have some fun?" And it was true, though not necessarily just because of Korie's arrival. Paulina was happy to see so many people coming together already, and she was looking forward to seeing all the newbies' powers in action.
In response to Alister's question, she winked and smiled as she released Korie. "I'll take a closer look at it today when I get the chance. Thanks again."@KiritoAsuna
When she felt a hand slip into hers, Paulina glanced down, then up the arm of its owner, and gave Ash a reassuring squeeze. It didn't surprise her at all that her friend was having difficulties; she’d probably been in close proximity to more people in the last two days then she had been in the past six months. And while it probably didn’t compare to the actual experience, Paulina likened Ash’s power to being like standing in the middle of a crowded room with everyone talking as loudly as possible. It would wear on anyone. So when Ash announced that she needed to step out, Paulina gave her friend’s hand another reassuring squeeze and quietly said, ”Take as much time as you need.”@Caits
It surprised her a little to see one of the newbies, Jason she seemed to recall his name being, follow Ash out, a look of concern on his face, but Paulina decided to let the matter sit. When Ashleigh needed a cool-down period, the last thing that would help was a bunch of people crowding around her and unintentionally making things worse. She did, however, keep an eye on the door.
Turning back to Liam, she smiled almost evilly as she walked up to him, drew a folded piece of paper out of her pocket, and slapped it onto his chest. “Oh, no you don’t, Spooky Boy. You don’t get to tease me like you did yesterday and then leave me on the edge. I demand satisfaction, so you are all mine.” Her lips curved into a flirty, daring smile as she gestured to herself. ”If you think you’re man enough to handle all of this.”@Themerlinhawk
Turning back to Korie from the now flushed Liam, she gave the new girl an apologetic smile. ”Sorry, cutie, but I got an offer yesterday that I just can’t turn down. But, I’ll definitely be watching, and I can save you the next spot on my dance card.” Paulina tilted her head. ”Unless you’d like a one-on-one session later,” she asked in a semi-flirty sort of way. @Dusksong
At the approach of Zach, she gave him a friendly wave. ”It’s pretty simple actually. This is your chance to practice with your powers. If you need a partner to do that, there’s lots to choose from. The faculty always places a few experienced students in with newbies, since we’ve all done this before. Plus, they have a few ways of keeping things from getting out of hand, so as long as you don’t try to purposely hurt somebody, this is your chance to show off and embrace what you can do.”@Natsu
Spying Ashleigh and Jason’s return, alongside Vedika, Paulina smiled warmly and approached them. ”Hey. Do you think you’ll be okay? If it’s too much, I’m sure we could convince the teacher to let you use a different room.” Glancing at Vivi, she nodded gratefully. ”I gonna be seeing what Liam has in store for me, but I think the two of you partnering up would be a good idea. Vivi’s weird, but you know you can trust her. And I won’t be far away, okay? Vivi, why don’t you take her through your meditiation stuff?”@Caits@Stern Algorithm
