Kurama became utterly annoyed with someone crushed his flowers. When he looked up he saw Angel staring at them and knew it was her who had crushed his flowers. He stroked the dead flowers and sighed, "don't worry, you will get your revenge, for there are those of you who can make her powers cease," He said with a sly smirk as he noticed someone walk up to Azalea and lay a hand on her forehead.

This intrigued Kurama because not only was the guy sexy and cute, but what he was doing made him even more attractive. After the guy had finished, he came walking towards Kurama as Kurama was sitting on the steps that led into the Academy. He heard the boy when he said "Stupid Girl" and simply smirked.

He stood up quickly and followed behind the guy, "excuse me, you didn't give your name, I'm Kurama and you are?" He asked in a kind and gentle voice. The boy already looked pissed and Kurama didn't want to upset him more than he already was.

Chloe almost immediately felt overwhelmed from everyone’s input. Things would be simple if they could just follow Kurama’s advice; advice that Angel soon repeated after it was ignored the first time. The first of them to do anything after the water was Zane, doing some odd ritual with rocks and dirt. Are you kidding me? Rocks aren’t going to save her! Rocks haven’t done anything for anyone except get them crushed or skip across water. But Chloe wasn’t about to say something like that. It was way too early in the game to get her actual personality out on the table. She just needed to stay in the background and keep the attention away from her persona. Luckily, she was the one with the reflection ability, not anyone else.

A red-head spoke up behind them, claiming that Azalea was stupid. Chloe shot him a look that was often considered a dagger in the chest, but she was almost certain that he wasn’t paying attention. So much for everyone trying to make their best impression on everyone else. Apparently he didn’t care to respect those who could wake up any moment and turn hostile. Luckily on his part, he started heading towards the Academy building instead of hanging around. Why aren’t we in the academy yet? They had already been there almost 20 minutes and they already had a black-out on their hands. Sure, this probably wasn’t all of the students, but it might be a good idea to bring in those who had already arrived.

Then, of course, another arrival had occurred. A girl, no older than her late teens, joined the group, asking what had happened. However, before she could be responded to by anyone- including Chloe- a man in monk-like robes entered their gathering, annoyed. He had been doing something that all of their frenzied panic had ruined. Assuming that he was trying to fill the “monk” persona, Chloe derived that he had been meditating. That might be a good idea, especially before going into a school. Being calm in any situation was usually ingenious.

The monk, although she originally was annoyed by his presence, seemed to make her more uneasy than anything. His essence was just conflicting with her own. But there was no time for that. Arisa burst in as soon as her voice was prepared for it, declaring that a breast inspection had to be done. Chloe felt a little awkward, being around so many people who were comfortable with their sexuality, regardless of those around them. Jealousy would’ve accompanied such an emotion, but Chloe knew better than to be so open. It usually only got you into trouble. “We should just bring her inside. Honestly, she’s just unconscious. Her pulse and breathing patterns are normal. She should be fine after her body’s oxygen is replenished.” Chloe grabbed Azalea’s arms, then motioned for someone else to hold on to her legs so that she could be lifted into the Academy.

What a way to start out the school year! Already, she was sure that she didn’t like a few of the students- those who were a little too open about everything, though some of them had a personality that only conflicted with her own on a tolerable scale. Already, someone had fallen unconscious and their powers had been introduced. Well, most of them, that was.

Zane was zapped with a powerful vibe when a new girl traipsed merrily out of the forest, distracting him from the fainted girl.

"What happened??" she asked.

"She fainted!! She passed out when she was trying to use her powers.." Zane kind of just blurted that out without thinking that it may have put the new girl off a bit. But he dismissed that thought as he was pretty much accepting by now of the fact that everybody here was not your ordinary teen.

The silent, odd looking kid in a monkish robe came over and started saying something about everybody yelling. Zane stood up and kind of eyed him up and down, wondering desperately who his fashion consultant was, because they really should be fired. His one eyebrow raised inquisitively at the strange kid, and then he was drawn to Chloe who had mentioned somebody helping by carrying Azalea's legs. Zane ran over eagerly to Azalea and swept up her legs. "Come on! Let's get her inside.." he said to her.

"Oh!" Powers? glad im not the only one! Shay thought, but as she looked around again she realized that there was something unusual about all the kids, an aura they all shared despite their differences. They all probably had powers! Finally she wouldnt be the strange girl who talked to her pet. Maybe she'd be considered 'normal' here! She'd have to wait and see. Realizing she was smiling Shay quickly wiped the look from her face, it might have came off looking like she was smiling at the misfortune of the unconcious girl, and she didnt want to send that kind of vibe.
"I can help carry her stuff." she said, looking around to see if the girl had any. She grabbed the luggage closest to where the fainted girl had been and followed the boy and girl into the building.
Tila finished her inspection of the group, but somehow she'd missed the monk-like boy. Geez he sure had his underwear in a wad. Was he always that up tight? She sniffed his feet, sneezed, and took off to look for good hidey places.

Vrise stopped and blinked once as he heard footsteps following along behind him. “Great…” He simply muttered beneath his breath, glancing at the boy behind with a skeptical surveying look. His frown deepened as he moved to hold his hand out to the other, “….Vrise. I’d say it’s a pleasure, but I’m having doubts on that idea.” He stated simply, rolling his shoulders in a shrug before turning his back to Kurama and the other’s to continue on inside. If they had even the least bit common sense, they should know how to walk in themselves, so he didn’t feel the least bit bad about walking off. Though.. he couldn’t help but suspect that the odd one who introduced himself would be right at his heels, and much to his surprise, he didn’t mind the idea. Wrinkling his nose at the thought, Vrise shook his head, You’re here for schooling, Enno. Nothing else. He thought to himself as he habitually reached a hand up to run it through his red locks.

At the very least, however, he was very glad to have arrived much earlier than everyone else. The earlier bird gets the worm after all. And so, he had picked out his favorite room from the Water dorms, which easily could have been big enough for two or even three people to share. Plenty of room for all my stuff.. Vrise thought with a dark chuckle as he made his way there. As he actually entered the Water dorm, he hesitated a brief moment to glance over his shoulder with a fron; as if making sure no one, no one being the plant boy, had continued to follow him. Sure, he wouldn’t mind a follower but not when it was meant literally.

"Do you see what you get for trying to be nice?" His inner Virgo told him as Kurama stood there looking oddly at the boy. It took a while for Kurama to process the guy's intentions but he was quite sure he was playing hardball. He was locking himself away, trying not to get close to anyone in the school. Kurama laughed a bit, "Interesting, someone who actually came to school to only learn and nothing more, I am sure I can fix that problem."

Kurama followed behind Vrise silently and soon found himself in the Water Dorms. It was beautiful here, and He found himself wondering exactly what the Earth Dorms would look like. He made a mental note to check it out as soon as he was finished with Vrise. As he followed Vrise he noticed Vrise look back a couple of times to see if he was still tailing him, and each time Kurama waved happily at him.

As he stood at the door of the guy's room, he simply laughed when Vrise turned to see if he was tailing him.

"Yep, I'm still here, I'm not going anywhere until you open up young man," Kurama said as he placed a hand on his hip and stared at Vrise. He smiled and stepped into the room, "Until you open up and start being accepting will I go away and stop bugging you, but from the looks of it you might enjoy me bugging you," He said as he leaned against the wall.

Zane held Azalea by the legs, carting her into the temple-esque school while Chloe had her by the arms supporting her head. The newest girl who had showed up walked beside them, carrying Azalea's luggage. He was happy that the new girl had decided to help out, and he was definitely feeling comfortable around her for being so helpful, unconditionally. But more than that, he found himself eager to get to know her. Despite his curiosity, he actually found her a bit mysterious... as if he couldn't quite put his finger on her. It bothered him in some ways because he has a love for reading people - its all a part of his judgement process - and oh how he loves to judge! In fact, he had already decided who he had liked of the group, and who he didn't. So far, he was really liking Shay and Kaida. As they entered the academy, Zane made sure to adjust Azalea's body properly so that she wouldn't get hit against any walls or doorways. Looking over at Chloe, he decided that he didn't really have any problems with her, in fact he admired her honesty.

He thought back to the boys in the yard; there was Kurama.. he seemed nice, but slightly arrogant and seductive, and what was up with when he first made eye contact with him?? It was almost like his powers backfired; that was the only way Zane had decided how to describe it. Then there was the weird quiet boy... what was up with his outfit? And why was his behavior so strange... Oh, and the perverted girl, Arisa. Zane tried to just turn the other cheek in her awkward moments; it's not very graceful to show embarrassment, Zane figured. Although, he couldn't deny that she had a very good - albeit very ODD - sense of humor.

Zane almost dropped Azalea when a sudden voice startled him out of his thoughts.

"Greetings, young ones." He heard the wise voice say.

"MY GOSH.... You scared the ripe out of me!!!" Zane said, trying to reinforce his hold on Azalea so she wouldn't fall. He turned to see an old, almost ANCIENT looking man wearing robes similar to Sensei's.

"Oh, my apologies" the wise man embarrassedly retorted. "I am the Elder, welcome to my academy. Oh my.. What is that you have there? An unconscious girl, perhaps?"

"WOW, so THIS was the elder!!!" Zane thought, excited to meet him although he couldn't really show it considering Azalea's condition.

"Ummm yeah.. heh" Zane's eyes formed high arches trying to not seem like a fool in the presence of one so wise. "She over strained herself during a little tissy outside.."

"Well, we need to get this one to the Earth Dorms right away. Please, young ones; follow me." The Elder spoke with such gentleness and peace.. Zane felt serene around him. The three students carried Azalea along the many ornate hallways of the academy. "This certainly doesn't seem like a school" Zane thought to himself, observantly taking in the multitudes of ancient tapestries, statues and architecture.

By the looks of it they didn't need her help anymore. She was walking the hallways when suddenly she felt as if something was pulling her. It was a force, one that was embracing her. When she finally came to a room she found out it was the dorms. It looked like she was in the fire dorms. There was fire everywhere. The walls were red, there were candles scented as well. And then there was the fire in the middle of the room. It made the place seem peaceful. For some reason it relaxed her. After all she was always happy with the sun wich was close to fire.

She picked the best room out of them all. It was a king size bed the covers were red. It felt good."Looks like I got the best room" she said as she placed down her luggge.

Mizu listened intently as each individual revealed their abilities, what really interested him was Chloe's abiliity to see a person's past just by looking at their reflection. 'I'll have stay on guard with her and her abilities,' he thought to himself when he heard some people talking about how Azalea has fainted from over using her abilities. Not knowing what to do, Mizu watched helplessly as everyone did their best to tend to the girl.

Mizu continued to watch, and stay out of everyone's way, just as someone walked past them and placed his hand on Azalea's forehead just as some sparks appeared.

"...Stupid girl" was all the red head said before he stood up and walked into the school, not even giving them a chance to thank him.

Just then he heared a new voice shouting at them to stop panicking, demanding an answer from them explaining why they were running around and shouting. When he heard Angel's answer, he resisted the urge to role his eyes. "How like women to get all moody," he whispered silently to himself as he recalled how his mother reacted like that for no real reason. Deciding that he was going to be of no use, Mizu picked up his belongings and turned around to see Kurama following the red headed student. 'What a flirt,' he sighed to himself then proceeded to leave the group and head towards the school. He didn't get very far when he almost suddenly ran into an elder man wearing long robes. Avoiding the elder man, Mizu walked past him and entered the school, deciding that he was going to go and look for the water dorms.

Azalea splutters, water in her mouth and being rocked by...someone. "What the..." she says to herself, getting out of the person's embrace, one of the newcomers. She shakes her head, angry at herself for letting herself get the the best or her. She wasn't that way...but she was lonely. If there were others, they weren't anywhere clear to her. She's been here for what seems like a few lifetimes...although in reality it had only been a couple weeks. Constant training, tactics lessons and just time to "meditate" had left her feeling a little bit more than totally iscolated. "Thanks for the help," she mumbes, grabbing the bag from another girl, a blush on her face. She nods to the Elder, and slips away from the group, heading back towards the rocky interiors of her section-her shared section now, she supposed-of dorms, correctly named the "Earth Dorms".

She goes into her room, shutting the door, and gently laying on her bed, a large block of stone with a mattress pad on top. After flinging herself on top of it once, she knew not to do it again. She smiles. She likes her room. It used to have a wooden bed, before she used it as firewood, insteading willing the stone to compose her bed. There was a dresser, made out of wood, and natural stone walls with polished floors. A gust of wind picks up, and she lets it cool her.

"Mmm..." she says to herself. "Maybe I'll go back later..." She picks up her discarded pad and paper on her nightstand, and starts to draw, doodling really, absentmindedly unwinding from the hype of new students.

Shay watched with relief as the girl got herself together, seeming to be fine. "Here's your stuff." she waved at her as she beat a hasty retreat, though doubting she saw it. Someone should really check on her later. "Huh...Well that was awkward...." She said turning to the boy & the girl. "I'm Shayabell, by the way. But you can call me Shay for short! And this is....Tila..? Err..I guess she ran off..." Through the bond she could tell Tila was underground, probably digging a hole which she'd use to squirrel things away in, or jump out at people. You never could tell with her.

Chloe looked at Azalea expectantly as she ran off. So much for common courtesy... But she was okay, and that was the best part. Then came their introduction to the Elder. He was an old man, and certaintly looked down at them as such. He was probably waiting for all of them to be polite and greet him one at a time, but that was all in vain. Several of the group had already disbanded in search of the best rooms in their dorms. Chloe, not really fitting into the four main categories, assumed that she was going to join the water groups- as her power dealt with reflection and gained power when the moon was full, especially around her birthday.

Shay introduced herself, also bringing up Tila- who must have been the animal previously observing them with the greatest curiousity. Chloe smiled at the girl's optimistic attitude, though deep down, it annoyed her. How could someone be so pleasant all of the time? Didn't she realize that they weren't there to be students? There was something else going on here and she felt like she was the only one who knew it. "I'm Chloe." She nodded with a smile, then turned her attention to the Elder, "If you'll excuse me, I'd like to go find my room."

Before any response could be heard, she had gone into the hallways leading to what she presumed to be the Water dorms. They were lovely and covered with intricate designs that looked thousands of years old- yet still preserved and refurbished constantly. There was a large river passing through, and Chloe made a notice not to get too close to it. She didn't want to relive some of the past she had endured. While she was here, no one was to know about it, and no one was to see her wince at her reflection. She'd just have to get used to it.

Her room was much larger than she had anticipated, but poorly furnished. There was a dresser, a desk, a bed, and a nightstand. The room itself had a sunroom built off the side, with blinds to close it up. The walls were a light sea foam green tone while the carpet mimicked the colors of the varieties of sea coral and other ocean plant life. Her bedspread looked like the machine that had sewn it together had exploded and all of the tones got intertwined. It wasn't unattractive, but would've seemed overwhelming when doused in sunlight. She immediately started unpacking, humming an unfamiliar tune that just seemed to come to her. Chloe was sure that something interesting was going to happen soon. It just had to. You couldn't leave home without it, and all of the books she had read in her entire lifetime proved her theory- regardless of the difference between reality and fiction.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Shay!! I am Zane." he said, eagerly shaking the girl's hand. He watched as everyone left to go find their dorms. "So, that thing I saw outside was your pet?" he asked. "What exactly is your power?" he giggled slightly in anticipation.

(Sorry for short post.. not much to work with right now XD)

(( LOL Yeah i'm scrapping the barrel here too hehe))
She smiled at the two of them, shaking Zane's hand. So far he was the only one who seemed nearly as excited as she was to be here. "Yep! Thats her. She'll keep you on your toes too so watch out." She paused, appearently powers were normal here! Yes!!! "I'm an air user! I can change the air tempeture, thickness, ecetera ecetera." She looked down at Zane's hand. "May I?" She flipped it over to face palm up, and slowly begin to move her right hand over it in a circular motion. Almost instantly a small tornado appeared in the center of his hand. She gave him a quirky smile waiting for a reaction, they were always fun to watch!

Zane watched as Shay took his hand and created a small tornado in it - he was expecting a shake, but he figured a tornado in the hand was just as good. It felt really weird and tingly, but in a good way; and the wind that came from it was highly refreshing.. he hadn't felt the breeze since he had been here, which had been a major disappointment. Zane loved the wind and always felt "empowered" when it blew against his skin. "THAT is an awesome power!!!" he exclaimed, laughing uncontrollably and clapping at her display. "Do you and Tila share a special bond?" he asked, kind of figuring that there was more to their connection than meets the eye. He had realized by now that Tila tended to do what Shay expected her to do, even without Shay having to verbally express herself. It appeared to Zane that Tila was just as unpredictable as his master.

Shay's smile widened "Thanks! It definitely has its advantages. And yeah we share a bond, I mean I can't control her or anything, she's her own free spirit, but we communicate." Constantly. It's hard to hide stuff from someone who's in your head all the time. That was a downside to being bonded. But once you got past the annoyance of having no privacy, it actually became rather fun. "So what about you? Do you have any powers or bonds??" She asked excitedly.

"Well, I don't have any bonds, but I do have powers." Zane said as he watched the soaked Sensei waddle down the hallway, leaving wet marks on the floor and wringing out his robe. He muttered something which sounded like a curse under his breath as he walked past Zane. "Hmm.. Watch this." Zane ran up to the Sensei and circled around in front of him, so as to make eye contact. "Hey Sensei!! I think you should go jump in the pond!" Zane said, smiling eagerly. "You're on about that AGAIN?!?!?!" Sensei angrily exclaimed. Zane activated his powers, a silver gleam glossing over his eye and then over Sensei's eyes as well. "I SAAAaaaiiidddd.... Go jump in the pond!!"

"RIGHT AWAY, SIR." Sensei gave a soldier's salute, and then ran out of the academy at full speed and hurled himself into the pond again. Zane began laughing hysterically as he heard the distant splashing sound and looked back at Shay.

"See?" his eyes formed high arches in amusement.

((why does it feel like were the only ones talking?? lmao XD ))

Kaida was going to try to talk to Zane again, but she saw he was talking to another girl.
"That you for everything you'll be teaching us." she said bowing to him and grabbed her stuff rushing to the wind dorm. She got to a room and smiled. It was pretty empty, so she was going to have loads of fun making it her own. She opened her bag and took out all her little things. She brought out a little mermaid figurine that her little sister gave her and put it on her dresser. With it she put her lucky braclet and her angel figure collection. On her desk she put scissors, hair dye of multible colors, staightener, curler, and hairclips. She then took out spray cans of every shade of blue, green, blue-green, and black. She got to work spray painting the walls of her room sky-blue.

Angel left the dorms and wandered into the hallways. There she saw Zane and another girl Shayabell. She walked up to them but for some reason when she got close to Zane she had this weird feeling.As if her heart was trying to tell her something. Then she noticed that she was hungry. "Hey there guys. I was just wondering, are any of yall hungry, I was just about to head to the cafeteria or kitchen. " she said as she looked at them smiling.
