Image|| Name || Kano Mizushima

|| Age || 23

|| Gender || Male

|| Height || 6'5"

|| Weight || 180 lbs.

|| Type || Hydro

|| Physical Description ||
Kano has dark black hair, though at times it can appear a midnight blue. His eyes are blue- drifting in between grey's and darker blues depending on the day. He has a strong, handsome face- although his hair is kept messy and long so his defined features are not as noticeable. Though he slouches and has terrible posture, Kano is a very tall individual, especially for being Japanese. He is a very strong endurance swimmer and has the body to show- strong shoulders, muscular arms, and a thin tampered waist. As for clothing, Kano usually can be found wearing various sweatshirt, scarves, jeans, or wool caps- he is always very cold unless he is in the water, so he bundles up when he is forced to be outside of it. Although Kano would rather be naked whilst swimming, he is forced to put on a pair of light blue swim trunks, which he detests.

|| Personality ||


Kano's obsessive behavior towards water was always a bit more extreme then most of the other Hydro's. He would act listless and exhausted whenever he wasn't near it and usually refused to follow any orders if he wasn't promised at least some time. But that did not mean Kano was submissive to the scientists- on the contrary he actually enjoyed playing pranks and mischievous antics. He had a life about him that made even the coldest of the scientists enjoy their time together, even just a little. He did not hold grudges and for the most part was happy.

That is until Tatsumi decided he wanted to see what would happen if he removed Kano from water for an extended amount of time- allowing him to 'dry out' but not dehydrate fully. He was kept my himself, not in total isolation but without connection to the other Alloys for two months. He was given an IV drip to avoid him dying from dehydration, but other then that he was kept away from the pool that he spent most of his time at. At first he simple refused to cooperate, not realizing that they were performing such an extreme experiment on him. Then he turned violent, using his powers to attempt to escape, though Tatsumi had prepared the room accordingly and all his fighting only tired him out. Towards the end Kano's resilience faltered and he lost energy, slept often, and began to hallucinate. Although Tatsumi had intended to continue for three months, the extreme personality change that he witnessed in the usually happy and relaxed teen forced him to shut down the project.

Kano was removed and immediately allowed in the pool, where he submerged and stayed for four days straight. But after that incident, Kano was never the same. He was always a lazy guy, never doing more what he is told to do, but now he simply did not react to things unless addressed directly. Its as if his mind as always off somewhere else and he often looks lost or detached. Though Kano was always obsessed with water, after the experiment he is Kano is always uncomfortable outside of it. His own skin itches, he feels antsy, he has the constant urge to simply sit and wait until he can re-submerge himself in the cool liquid he calls home. Despite this, Kano is not an irritable guy. He is actually quite calm usually, preferring to keep his personal ordeal inwards rather then sharing them with the world. He is a very secretive guy in this regard and rarely shares much personal information about himself. But, to the people that live at the institute, Kano really doesn't have much to hide as they have all lead mostly the same life.

Kano always had a good, comfortable relationship with the scientists. While he did not love them, he got along with them fine enough. After the experiment though, Kano became entirely submissive to whatever they want. He does not talk to them when he is with them, though he follows everything they say without hesitation. Tatsumi believes this to be a good thing, as he essentially created a well groomed, obedient Alloy, but the other scientists see Kano's extreme change as sad. On a few occasions, usually when he hasn't been near water for a while, Kano may throw a sort of...tantrum. Though a tantrum for a fully grown Alloy with definite mental trauma means a storm of ferocious water that takes a sedative to calm him down from. But for the most part the scientists keep him happy and he keeps them happy.

Although Kano spends most of his time by himself- he likes the pool empty, though he doesn't mind as much when the other Hydro's join- Kano is actually a very kind and soft individual. He would rather sort things out with words rather then fight, though his size and power means he can even stand up to the most unstable of Pyro's. Kano is good listener, as he does not talk much, but he will give proper feedback when required. He usually takes a moment to respond simply because he always thinks through what he is going to say before he says it. After the experiment he started to zone out and cease paying attention much more often, so he sometimes seems rude and uninterested to the other Mutts.



|| Sample Post ||

ImageStrong arms supported his upper body, elbows on his knees and shoulder sagged forward as his head hung limply. Kano had only been given a pair of white scrub like pants to wear- Tatsumi wanted his chest exposed in order for the monitors to be visible at all times. At first he had been hold, goose bumps traveled up his arms and forced him to hug his bare chest, although that did not do much good to warm him. But it had been well over a month- one of Tatsumi's underlings had informed him- and he had grown used to the ever present cold.

He could hear voices on the other side of his door- shadows crossed over the small window as people passed by, though none stopped to look in on him. He assumed they had grown bored with him after he ceased struggling, he resignation to this situation making him no different then one of their lab rats.
But he didn't care anymore, he was too tired to. Every movement made his bones creak, his skin felt like it was stretched too far, his dark hair hung limply brown his head- he had not taken a shower in some time and he knew he smelled. A few weeks ago the thought of a shower would have made tears prick at his eyes, but he could not even conjure those up anymore. He was simple exhausted and resigned to whatever fate they deemed fit for him.

Kano sometimes contemplated death, though he did not truly want to die. His powers had stopped working two weeks ago, around the same time his joints started to ache and his body grew heavy. Now he either laid down on his too-small cot or sat like he was currently, only moved when someone came in to check his vitals. It had been a week since Tatsumi had visited- the man had come everyday in the beginning to watch him or ask him questions, but ever since he stopped responding the older man hand't bothered.

The robotic sound of the door opening made Kano raise his head slightly, just enough to see through his bangs who had entered. Yet another figure in a white coat- he was not surprised- though as he looked up... he recognized that familiar silver hair and sharp nose.

He had not seen Watanabe since the beginning, when he came to inform Tatsumi that he would take not part in his experiment on Kano. The Hydro remembered being grateful, thinking that his creator was planing to save him from the sadistic Tatsumi- but he had simply left the sadistic scientists to his work instead of stopping it.

"How are you today, Kano?" The older man spoke, walking closer to Kano's cot with a clipboard and pen in hand. Kano watched him, a blank expression on his face and his mouth closed tight, "Tatsumi has informed me that you have stopped responding, I came to check for myself. As you know, I did not agree to this...ordeal... but I have little control over what Tatsumi chooses to do in his field"

He crouched down in front of Kano, peering up through his glasses and giving an experimental half smile, "Your eyes are focused on me, that's good. If you could answer me back, explain how you are feeling..." Watanabe allowed his voice to trail off, waiting for Kano to give him some hint of a reaction. But Kano was far beyond caring and he knew that whatever he did had little affect on his own situation. He had stopped struggling, but that was only because he lacked the energy to do much more then stay awake.
Watanabe sighed, scribbling on his clip board for a moment, "Listen, Kano, if you cooperate and answer me, I may be able to stop this. Like I said before, I do not have control over Tatsumi, but you Mutts were my creations to begin with. I can help you, but only if I give some feed back"

Kano's eyes closed, a soft sigh escaping his parched lips. He coughed a few times to revive his dried up throat, then looked back at Watanabe, "Water..." His voice was graveling like sandpaper, "I can't do this for much longer, sir...please. My body aches, I can't move without pain, and my powers do not work anymore..." He hated that he was begging, but if what Watanabe said was true...he would do almost anything to escape this hell. If that meant total submission, then so be it.

Watanabe let out a sad sigh, reaching forward to lightly stroke Kano's dry and messy hair, "Thank you, I'll use my power to stop the experiment. If you would cooperate for the discharge process, I can insure that you will be out of here by the end of the week"

Kano smiled weakly at him, the first sign on emotion on his face in weeks, "Thank you" he replied, his eyes reflecting how grateful he was. Watanabe smiled at him, then took his exit.
_______________

On the other side of the door, Tatsumi stood waiting.
"Interesting, right?" He leered as the doors to Kano's room slid shut behind the older man.

Watanabe handed over Kano's chart, a deep frown etched into his face, [/b]"Thats one way to put it. Though I would have preferred you had not ruined yet another Mutt with your experiments. We agreed that if I payed him a visit to see the outcome you would stop this- I think you have enough data"[/b]

Tastumi nodded, taking the chart and glancing at the notes etched across it, "Yes, yes. I'll wrap it up tomorrow after some final tests- and he's not ruined, professor. I believe I just created a completely submissive mutt in there, one that doesn't complain when he is poked and prodded. Maybe a thanks is in order?"

Watanabe glared at him, shook his head, and strode out of the laboratory while Tatsumi turned back to the small window in Kano's door, watching the unmoving mutt with a satisfied smirk.

So begins...

Kokurai was actually playing the nice experiment for once. The doctors were really going to have to thank Kokurai for this rare occasion. In all honesty, the older alloy was playing nice simply because he didn't mind the tests currently being done on him. Surprisingly, he found the EEG (electroencephalography) scans fun. They were calming in a way. All he had to do was sit there. The actual set up of all the sensors that needed to be applied to his skin and head took about 30 minutes depending on how slow the techs were and they didn't need him to do anything until the actual testing started. Normally he let them go about this without hindrance but when the actual testing started? Yeah, he wouldn't be Kokurai if he didn't mess with them a little bit. He loved to make their data fuzzy by moving just a little too much or using his electricity to make the sensors go haywire. The cap itself was so finicky that half the time they had to re-plug things in or change the cap entirely and it still wouldn't read correctly because of him.

"Kokurai, open your eyes and look straight ahead for me please," one of the technicians requested from the older alloy who was just beginning to dose off. Kokurai opened his blue hues and stared straight at the woman's chest. Oh yeah, that was a bonus to. Whenever the research tech needed to apply the sensors beneath his eye to read the orbicularis muscle he got a pretty good view of her chest. It wasn't his fault the tech wore a lab coat instead of scrubs. And besides, he was a 33 year old virgin who already had several kids without his consent. He figured it was time they cut him some slack. A little treat now and then was nice when everything else in this world was sour. Maybe the nurse herself knew what he was looking at. She never complained but he had noticed she was wearing more supportive clothing. Maybe she realized this could very well be the reason why he was so compliant during the EEG tests and she didn't want to deal with him when he was difficult.

"There we are. Sensors comfortable?"

"As comfortable as sticky sensors on your face can be," he answered and glanced down as the other tech taped on the heart rate sensors on his left palm. Another fun thing about EEGs was that if you asked, they showed you a mirror and you could see the sensors on the zygomatic muscle of your right cheek, the sensors behind your ears to record the postauricular, and then those above your eye for the corrugator to accompany the ones below your eye. When the whole set up was complete, you had a few more on your face and arms to. It always made him feel like he was some sort of computer with wires sticking out everywhere. With all various the sensors done on his face and arms, they began to pull the cap over his head and tucked his dark locks beneath the cap and strapped it on. Whelp, that meant he could zone out again. Both ladies would be behind him after all so he would see nothing but the blank screen in front of him. He closed his eyes again and winced now and again when the techs pressed just a little too hard with their blunt syringes against his scalp. He shuddered as the gel was inserted into the various sensors. Ugh the electrogel was never a pleasant feeling. It was cold and leaked sometimes. He always felt nasty and disgusting afterward as if he hadn't bathed in weeks. At least water and soap got rid of it easily enough.

The techs then plugged all the sensors into the control board and started to record his habituation responses which would take a couple of minutes. While they waited, the nurses began to whisper to themselves about the various experiments and tests that needed to be performed on the other alloys when Kokurai was done. At first, Kokurai ignored them. He didn't much care about the other experiments going on after all. Besides, when talking about other alloys, they usually used number identifiers which Kokurai wasn't familiar with. Well except for two other numbers besides his own. He had memorized Hiro's and Sukoshi's identifiers so he'd always know what was going on with them. They were #0377 and #8770, respectively. The scientists thus far didn't know he had solved the mystery of who his children were which was just fine by him. Well, Dr. Tadoshi knew but there was nothing he could do about that.

"Dr. Tadoshi has some new experiments planned for all of the alloys, certain ones specfically," the tech with the nice bust mentioned then.

"Really? Do you know what they are about?" the other inquired.

"Something about pushing limits. Especially with some of the alloys with certain uniqueness's about them. Most of them are new gen. Right now he is actually going to start working on #0377 and #8770. He mentioned something about stressing them and looking at how far he can push them towards their breaking points. The doctor should have called them into the observatory already. I think he is doing pair work or something."

Kokurai's eyes widened then, the EEG monitor indicating the spikes in his heart rate and the changes in his eyes. The two nurses frowned as they monitored the strange spikes.

"Kokurai? Are you all right?"

Kokurai didn't respond at first as he stared at the wall in front of him. Dr. Tadoshi was going to do something to his children? Testing their breaking points? He remembered very clearly when the 'good doctor' had done a similar experiment with him. He would never forget the horror he had experienced those days. How much pain and anguish he had to live through and how broken he had been for years afterward and how that horror still haunted him now. No, he didn't want that for his children. He wouldn't allow it. How could he allow it? Kokurai sat up abruptly and started yanking at the fragile sensors. The techs gasped and reached for him to try and get him to settle down before he broke all of them. "Back off," he growled, calling up his energy and essentially tasering the women to get them away. He yanked some of the plugs which returned a smaller scale shock to Kokurai but he just absorbed the energy and it fueled his own desire and need to get the hell out of the room. One of the women ran to the button to call for back up, but Kokurai had already fled the room. In his haste, he still ended up having broken sensors clinging to his cheek and behind his ears so he must have looked like quite the mad-man as he ran down the hallway towards the observatory.

Kokurai reached the room in record time and tried to open the door but it was locked from the inside. Peering through the window he could see Dr. Tadoshi and a couple of his assistance in the room along with his two eldest children. He growled in his desperation and slammed his hand against the lock and zapped it, short-circuiting the mechanism as he barged into the room.

"Get away from them you perverted asshole!" Kokurai growled. "I won't let you corrupt them with your psychotic tests. You'll have to go through me first." He was their father after all. They may not know that but they didn't need to. All that mattered was that he was here and wasn't going to let Doctor-psychopath-pedophile-sadist traumatize them for life or kill them without a fight. They were his precious little ones. He would let the man flay him alive if it meant that Sukoshi and Hiro would remain untouched by this malicious doctor's figurative scalpel.

It was warm. Comforting warmth that spread over him like a silent blanket, covering every nook and cranny with a tenderness that he could not experience anywhere else. It lapped at him, pulled has body where it wanted, but allowed him to control if even though it held so much more power then him. People say that you aren't supposed to trust the ocean- never turn your back on the receding waves- but Kano felt the opposite. Water was the only thing he could trust, it was the only thing that contributed to his survival in every way, shape and form.

And he never wanted to be apart from it again.

He was staying extended hours in the pool, hours that were privileged to him because of his severe stress over being without it more any extended amount of time. Currently he was floating in the middle of the glistening blue body of water, eyes closed and held afloat without even the use of his powers. Control over the water was not something Kano liked to exert- he could do so much with it without using any force. Water wanted to help- its cleanses, gave life, provides comfort- he did not need to do much in order to get what he needed from it.

The room was entirely empty, except for himself and a guard at the door. A guard who'd didn't used to accompany him Before, but now seemed to be there every time Kano turned his back. Special attention, monitoring, just in case something happened. He was a red listed name, dangerous to others, possible cationic....even though he had yet to hurt someone or cause any sort of disruption. Kano just didn't speak, followed orders, meekly allowed the scientists to do what they want- as long as they allow him his requested time in the pool. Thankfully, his extreme shift in mood and 'calm before the storm' demeanor earned him special attention- which means the privilege of being here alone, without the mass of other bodies that frequent the water. It wasn't as if Kano disliked any of the other Hydro's, he generally harbored no ill will towards anyone at the institute sans Doctor Tatsumi, but he needed time to simple float here and listen to the water rather then others.

He caught the noise of the guard rustling his uniform, possible checking his watch, before he moved toward the pool and whistled, "Times up, Mizushima, I gotta lock up"

The water rustled, vibrating around him as if to say 'don't go'. He sighed, eyes falling shut as he sank from the surface to the pool floor, his motions smooth like a creature born of the water. Liquid torpedoed around him of its own will, carrying him towards the edge of the pool that the guard stood at. Kano surfaced, pushing his dark hair from his eyes and he hefted himself out of the place he knew to be home. Not a single word passed from him and the guard as he toweled off, pulled on a pair of shorts and a plain white t-shirt, and followed him down the corridor to exit the pool room. Kano cast one last glance towards the liquid before he exited, a wordless promise that he would be back tomorrow passing between him and the water.

The doors slid shut behind him and the guard, who quickly set to locking up the numbered key pad and thumbprint reader. Kano glanced at it, his mind wandering towards possibly using the device in order to break in... he'd done so in the past, back Before everything changed. But now....now he wanted to sit, possible in the common room. He disliked his room immensely- cut off completely, he felt the confines of prison walls when he sat in there alone. Although the entire institute was a prison, at least the common room shared the wealth of captivity with others.

So he turned, arms loose at his sides, and walked towards the common room with a far off look of mild disinterest and longing.

In rare form, the day had started off well - peaceful even as Vance took his grand time preparing. Meager clothing supply picked through with a careful eye. Humming to himself as he tidies the few objects in his cell of a room. He had a book laying out across the floor, spine cracked and cover too dirty to distinguish its title; he bent to retrieve it and finish off the final few pages with greedy eagerness. They had yet to come for him, and he was unsure if they would at all today. Sometimes he would be left to his own devices for hours, sometimes for days. It was only when they really needed him that they saw fit to deal with him, he was just too much of a pain otherwise.

'Someday, little bird, you will learn to spread those wings.'

Vance sets aside the book, lips downturned slightly. Nothing but boring sentiments, teach a broken bird how to fly - and yet, how could fluttering uselessly around a cage even manage to measure up to the freedom of wilderness?


Alas the Alloys were not birds, they didn't exactly get the chance to learn to fly no matter if its in a gilded cage or a rusty one. Vance hated that, could feel his blood heat beneath pale skin at the very idea that he'd spend his entire life here. Would die here. Wouldn't even get a funeral - something he had only read about in books - because they were unnecessary. Alloys died all the time, it was nothing new. Not to him at least. Sure, he was biased, he got to live beyond some preconceived expiration date. But he also knew that the only way that things would ever change would be to do it by force.

'Make them pay for every poke and prod.' His thoughts drift so quickly to his sisters final words that he doesn't have time to brace himself. Collapses on weary knees and grits his teeth in a frail attempt at getting that anger to subside. Don't overheat, don't overheat. He pulls his legs into a crossed position, finds a focal point on the adjacent wall and just stares until everything stops. No longer thinking, just barely seeing, simply staring and breathing until his body goes back to a regular temperature. Still sits there for a while because he knows there's a chance to work himself back up into a tizzy if he doesn't let go of everything at once.

Eventually, with boredom growing, Vance decides that if today is going to be devoid of human contact he may as well do something productive. Perhaps stare at walls in the common room? Not that he was doing anything other than observing, quietly watching the daily going-ons and catches bits and pieces of conversation here and there. He rarely associated with the other Alloys in a friendly manner, and had no inclination to do so today either. But he had a feeling that if he didn't get up and do something he would be sorely regretting it. As much meditation as he suffered through he knew that there were simply times in his life were he had to move, lest he get antsy and nobody wants an antsy Pyro walking the halls. He's already itching to do something - anything. Which is pretty indicative of the mood he's caught hold of for the moment.

The hallways are silent, empty save for the guard posted for safety purposes - Vance himself was a flight risk or so a few of the more cowardly researchers liked to claim. Seeing him as a threat when really, his anger was the only thing they had to worry about. He disliked the idea of ever killing anyone, and he saw no reason for meaningless death if it meant anything other than freedom from this place. "I'm going to the common room." He informs as the nameless, faceless guard turns to look at him. Vance doesn't bother getting to know the guards on any form of personal level, something that only a few have taken offense to in the past. Despite his ability to properly co-operate with them. He waits a few moments as the lug processes his lack of request - another thing he saw no reason to do. He was the one who lived there, prisoner or not this was where he had been from the day of his birth.

"Stay out of trouble," The guard says, a bit grumpy for Vance's liking but he bites his tongue and moves on. Can feel the guards eyes on his back the entire time. "Oughta burn his eyes out," Vance mutters under his breath, barely containing the coy smirk sliding onto his face; only to drop as he nears the room and catches sight of another Alloy. Damn, well, he couldn't expect his day to continue being a good one through and through now could he? This Alloy in particular wasn't one he knew on any sort of basis other than him being a Hydro, and therefore his very existence is detestable,and that his name is Kano.

If nothing, this could be entertaining. "Kano." Vance barely mumbles as he bumps past the Hydro rudely. Bait, set, now get ready to trap. Anything resulting from this little show would just be another mess for the researchers to clean up - and that excited him.

In the common room of the laboratory, curled up upon a grey beanbag, was a girl with a book dangling precariously from a limp hand. Light blue hair covered the fair girl's face and shoulders as she slept blissfully, and though her cheeks were damp her expression was peaceful. However as the book finally slipped from her hand and fell onto the ground with a soft thud, the bluenette's gentle slumber came to an end as she stirred at the noise, eyelids fluttering open to reveal deep blue eyes like the ocean. Pushing herself up with her hands, the girl's face was partially hidden by her light blue locks again as she wiped her eyes sleepily before reaching her arms up in the air to stretch and giving a big yawn. Really, it was a adorable - like a puppy waking from a nap.

Raelyn brushing her light blue bangs out of her eyes she looked around, blinked a few times as tears sprung to her eyes (which she wiped away out of habit). 'Huh, I must've fallen asleep on one of the beanbags in the common room,' she thought, her eyes coming to rest upon the book on the floor beside her and she bent down to pick it up, tenderly re-reading the cover as she closed the book. 'That's right, I was reading as I waited for Dashure to finish his testing.' she recalled, walking to the shelf and putting it back where it'd come from, and slowly a whimsical smile grew upon her face - an expression so natural and fitting it almost looked (and felt) strange when it wasn't there.

With another yawn she wiped her eyes again and turned towards the doorway, tugging at her simple white dress to unwrinkled it. This wasn't actually a dress but in fact it was her "testing uniform" as the doctors said, but it made her feel pretty and she liked the way it billowed whenever she ran, so she more it far more often than any of the others wore theirs. She did not fully understand why the others were so opposed to the doctors and their experiments. She didn't like the needles and testing and everything of course, but it was all she'd ever known. It was normal, expected, and they'd never been outright cruel to her before so she had no ill will against any of the staff. If anything they were kinda like family; always there, taking care of herself and the others.

It was possible that, if Raelyn saw her own file, she'd feel differently after them. "She is so sweet and eager to please, like an innocent little child; an excellent candidate for the program," - was a note written in regards to her - "it will be all too easy to get her to follow through with plans. However at this point it is only a matter of time." Raelyn, however, did not know of these plans and smiled at the guard - Mr. Joe Frederick - as she skipped out the common room door, who gave a slight nod and smile to her in return. She did have an effect on people that simply made them smile - it was one of her most defining characteristics, and if someone only knew one thing about her it was her friendly, loving aptitude she held towards everyone. Skipping down the hall she saw two familiar figures passing each other and her smile grew.

"Good morning Vance! Good morning Kano!" she chimed happily, wrapping her arms around his waist and hugging affectionately before letting go and doing the same for Kano, "Kano, you're all wet! Did you just get to go swimming?" Raelyn said with a giggle as she let go, beaming up at him before something seemed to occur to her. "Oh no, does that mean that the pool is closed? Darn! I accidentally feel asleep in the common room and missed swim-time." she said with a giggle, then suddenly another thing seemed to occur to her, significantly more alarming than her previous revelation as she glance up at a wall clock and paled a little bit. "Oh no!" she said with a horrified gasp, her hands having found their way to her mouth, "That means that if I don't hurry I'll be late to meeting Dashure!" Quickly wiping away the tears that'd run down her cheeks (a feature almost as well known about her as her smile) she turned to Vance and Kano and smiled at them both. "Sorry, but I've got to go! Bye Vance! Bye-Bye Kano!" she said cheerfully turning over her shoulder and taking off down the corridor, giving a frantic wave behind her as the faint padding of footsteps faded away.

Within a minute or two Raelyn had reached Dashure's door, pausing a moment before knocking their secret knock. "Daaaaaaaashuuuuuuuuure!" she sang happily, reaching for the handle when suddenly something smacked right into her and Raelyn flew a few feet, landing on her butt with an undignified "Oof" sound. Shaking her head a moment to get her bearings again, Raelyn looked up to find none other than- "Griswald!" she exclaimed happily, jumping up and wrapping Dashure's younger brother in a bear hug with a giggle. "Hi there! Have you come to see Dashure too?"

"Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. "

Waiting outside would get her nowhere. She heard some clamor from where Kinjuro went. She went to enter and a nurse stepped up to stop her, glaring she whipped her hand in his direction, using his own shadow Kimiko tied his ankles together and he crumpled to the ground as Kimiko brushed past into the Observatory.

Once inside, it was quite crowded. People were standing around but no Kinjuro. She stepped up to Hiro and winced.
"Hiro. . . Where's Kinjuro?" She asked, ignoring the man who wasn't familiar to her. Darkness at her feet, her own shadow twitched disliking being near Hiro. "I came because I am worried about Kinjuro. He. . . He is dangerous to those not like us. Not bathed in the shadow. He might get carried away and. . . Harm someone." She looked around the room, she was never called out of her small area. Th scientists could never get her to fully release her abilities. Nor would she. The full extent of her abilities would warrant extreme measures on their part. Her powers weren't as direct as Kinjuro, no her powers crept into someone, like a disease. However they'd never know that until it was time.

"But first, tell me what's going on. I am unfamiliar with this area." Again her shadow twitched, however this time it was because she was fully stocked with energy and it was aching to be used. Her full powers wanted to emerge. It whispered over and over, attempting to sway her to killing them all. She tucked it away for now. It wasn't time to use her abilities. For all they knew all she could do was turn off lights, move from shadow to shadow, and shield herself. Best keep it that way.
