I was a little shocked at the girl's descent, and confused as to how she could have enjoyed falling out of the tree into the bush... I watched as she dusted herself off like it was no big deal, and handed me a sheet of paper. It was of me and Yuuji earlier. It was actually pretty amazing. Ha!, I have to show this to him. I wanna see his reaction to realizing someone was watching him laugh like that, other than me of course. Well, I guess I don't really count, since I was the one he was laughing at...I suddenly realize my thoughts have been wandering, with me just staring at the picture. "Right, sorry, um...thanks! This is really good! Oh, I'm Raiden. Nice to meet ya Ainsley!" I have a wide smile on my face. I turn to the other person she seems to be talking to, and I had to do a double take. "Woah...wait a second...are you two sisters or something?" I say with a confused look, pointing back and forth at them.
---------------------------
It sounded like Damon is having issues with his power's stereotype, which I can understand. (I'm not exactly the type to volunteer for, say a soup kitchen, unless I got something out of it.) "Actually, I am new here as well. I..." I had to stop my sentence partway. I guess I hadn't noticed it before, but all of a sudden I felt very nauseous. I could almost feel my face turning whiter, or maybe it was green now. My mind wasn't on the conversation with Damon anymore, and I made my way over to the closest school wall, leaning on it for support. I was holding my stomach, feeling a little faint, and of course having that first thought that I should have had more to eat, though I knew that wasn't the case. The worst part of it passed, and I could stand up straight now, my mind trying to figure out what had happened. Could it have something to do with the opposites of Damon and I? Damon. I will have to apologize for leaving him so suddenly.

Great he's new too. None of us know where to go. We're all lost, kinda like how I feel...wait, where did he go? I was too concentrated on my thoughts to notice he left. I see him touching his stomach and leaning on a wall.
" Let me guess, me being dark is doing that? This sucks. The one person I know here I cause hurt...great. Now everyone's going to think I AM evil. Are you okay?" I go to walk over, but stop realizing it may just make things worse so I worry from a far.

I smile at Dom’s response to my joke. A lot of students at D’albert’s wouldn’t have noticed it, or would have called me stupid for getting the saying wrong, or even call me stupid for making such a stupid pun. Not that I blamed them; with the grades I get, how could I be anything but stupid? But here I found a person who took my idiotic little joke for what it was, and appreciated it for it. I get the feeling Dominique and I could become very close friends, and so I allow the smile to linger.
I laugh as she makes a horrible pun in kind. “Might as well,” I reply, “It looks like he’s spotted us, anyways.”
As I start in the direction of the ice-user, I look back at Dominique and notice that she’s still ‘me’. “Hey! Cut that out, already. You want to make a good impression, right? You know what they say, just be yourself.” Some friend I’ll be, spouting hypocritical clichés at the poor girl. The truth is, it makes my skin crawl thinking that someone could be walking around campus imitating me, but I can’t tell Dom that, she’s nervous enough already.

Amelia: I look up at my sister hoping she will offer an answer for me. Then I come to a sickening realization. I can't always speak through my sister, eventually she will become sick of me, leave me, and I will be alone. I can already see it in the pages, if I hang off her like an incapable twit eventually she will leave me. She is too outgoing, to lighthearted, and defiantly to easy to trust. I look up at the guy, much taller than me, and open my mouth to respond. It's surprisingly difficult, I haven't spoken to anyone but my sister for a very long time. "I-- uh -- we..." I shake my head and start again. "Y--uhm...." The pencil in my hand grows warm and my fingers itch to write. I want to rewrite myself as brave and independent, but alas, it is not possible.
Bell: I get out the car and slam the door scanning the horizon of the school. I saw a small garden off to the left and consider starting there but immediately veto it. At my last school all the weirdos hung out there. Not the powerful weirdos like me, that fill this school, but the ones with serious issues. "Ah Miss Dee," Alan groans under the weight of the bags, "Where shall I take these?" I toss him the key and he drops a bag to catch it. I tut at him, "Careful Alan, there are variable things in there. Top floor please, the penthouse suit." He looks forlorn at the tall castle like building and I walk away with a smile. I can practically feel my eyes glowing yellow with glee. Around the front at the school I see two girls walking to wards a suspicious looking guy. I sense possible conflict but seeing no one else around I speed up my pace, trying to catch up to the girls. "Hey, hey you girls. Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum, slow down would ya? Do you know where the heck we are supposed to go. You'd think on the first day there would be some kind of signs, or maybe teachers..." As I get a little bit closer I recognize one of the girls as the freak who ran in front of the car. "You have a death wish or something?" I call to her.

I look down at the other equally small girl, waiting for her response. I finally realize that she looks a little uncomfortable in talking. I really don't want her to feel awkward around me, so I decide to break the silence myself, and spare her possible embarrassment. I laugh. "Haha, well that was a stupid question...I guess it's pretty obvious you two are twins. That's actually pretty cool." I show a warm smile, directing it more at Amelia, hoping that she understood. I hear more cars arriving. Hmm, must be almost time. "Hey," turning to Ainsley, "thanks again for the picture. We should probably start heading back....Are you both new here like me? I'm hoping I won't get lost...probably will though. Eh, oh well." I shrug. I hope that Amelia warms up to me, and others, and that I get to know both of them more. I feel like I'm going to need good friends here.
--------------------------------------
I see Damon keeping his distance, most likely worrying about what would happen if he got too close. I conclude that it wasn't being near him that caused me to feel sick, since I would have felt so sooner when I passed him. No, it was probably when I touched his shoulder. I wave him over, feeling much better. "No no, I'm ok. You don't have to be so far away...well, unless it's because of what I might do to you...but anyways, I should be fine close to you. I think it was just because I touched you that I became sick. I feel much better now." It was strange, I had never felt like that before, or had that kind of reaction to darkness. I would rather put this incident behind me, and I also see that people are starting to file into the building. I straighten my glasses and put my hands in my jacket pockets. "So, should we get going?"

I stand up, dusting myself off. Hopefully the twins didn't see me.
Wait.
They're not twins; that's right. One is a shape shifter... I'm going to guess the one on the right. That is, of course, assuming myself to be correct in the fact that they are not twins... but how could I be wrong.
After I finish cleaning the dirt from my knees and face, I look about the garden; The hedges are perfectly trimmed, as should be, from a school of this caliber at least. A little farther ahead - in the direction opposite the 'twins' - is a small flower garden. From what I see, it seems well made and well taken care of. It's as beautiful as can be...
Without being encased in ice, of course. I think I'll work on that. I begin to walk towards the flower garden; as I do so, I snap my fingers. The clouds that have been forming above the school prior begin to let snow fall.

Typha's smile causes a similar reaction with me. Which of course looks funny, as we must look like one of us is looking into an invisible mirror or something. Be myself? I guess that's easier said than done...i don't know who I am. I revert back to my blue skin and red hair. I see a nearly albino girl storm over towards Typha and I. Did she just call me a Tweedle? Wait...she's the one who almost ran over Typha?
" Girl, don't even. You're idiot of a driver was the one who almost hit her. Maybe daddy needs to pay for the driver to get an eye exam. And you could probably use a spanking. darn rich people just march in thinking they own the place, and can give anyone attitude. I mean really? Really!? God, get over yourself honey."
I'm shocked at my sudden rush of empowerment, I don't stand up like that too often, but it's not like she didn't deserve it. So I guess it's okay.
--------------------------
This is just fantastic, first person i meet I make sick. Not a shock, but definitely not the way I wanted to start the school year. Wait, why is he waving me over? I can be closer? Okay, good sign, he isn't afraid of me. He has a point though, how close can I be without harming myself? I cautiously take a few steps closer, not much change. I take another couple steps and feel a very faint flicker of pain. I take one last final step and decide the pain is enough that I can stand it.
"Yeah we should probably get going, need to drop off my stuff in whatever room I'm placed in." I create some shadow tendrils which grab my bags and follow me as I begin walking towards the door.
"You coming?"
-----------------------------------------
Great. Some idea has made it snow. I hate the snow, I hate the cold. So whoever did this offically sucks.....majorly. I look around and see tons of students standing around. I decide to walk inside. There are no lockers in the hallways, which I guess makes sense as it's a boarding school, but definitely odd to me. I walk down the hallway and follow the signs to the school's 'common room'. Coomon room? Sounds like I book I read....I wonder if we'll be sorted into some sort of house system or something.... I hope it doesn't involve talking hats.....or talking anything for that matter.

“That’s better,” I say as Dominique reverts to the appearance I first met her as.
I notice a girl talking to me several sentences after she started, and all I catch is ‘maybe teachers- you have a death wish or something?’. Her bluntness shocks me. Then I see her, and it makes sense; a rich kid. Of course, just another thing that never changes in life. I seethe with quiet anger, and already a rebuttal is forming in my head: ‘maybe I do, maybe I don’t, how is that any of your business?’. I run it through my head a few times to make sure it sounds right, but before I can speak up, Dominique does. I look at her with surprise and respect.
“Hold on, Dom,” I say, putting a hand in front of her. “I’m sure she didn’t mean anything by it.” I don’t need you to protect me, but I’m too scared to say so. I’m just glad you’re not a mind-reader.
I turn to look at the rich girl with my best street-tough glare, “You didn’t mean anything by that, did you? I’d hate to have to rough you up. I might tear your pretty dress.”

The hedges are coated in a fine layer of snow, as is the ground. Fantastic! But simple... What we need now is...
A blizzard.
I look up into the sky, and intensify the snow fall. The snow is falling lightly, but it appears to be picking up. I don't enjoy being frozen, so I head inside. I'm outside of the entrance, so it's not a long walk.
I've already place my bass on my back by the time I enter the school. I look around, blinking. No lockers. Hmm... I wonder why it's changed, although it doesn't really matter... As long as I have my Bass and a shower, I'm fine. Except, maybe one thing that has been picking it's way in my mind...
I hold my arms outstretched as I look up into the falling sky. Each snow flake that comes down is like a small diamond, completely perfect and unique. Now if only I had a place to sit. Ah, but of course. I command some fallen snow to gather, and it does. It compacts as I say, and folds and bends as told.
I step back, and admire my work.
The ice chair I've made is beautiful; amazing. I walk up to it, and sit. A chill runs through my body, and it feels great. But one thing still bothers me...
When does class begin? When does class begin?

“It’s fine, actually I can’t believe people say we look alike,” I said straight faced and then laughed a bit, “Just joking. Smiling sadly at Raiden I replied, “Unfortunately yes we are both new. You could technically say we’ve lived under a rock until now.” Contemplating, we probably should figure out what to do, “Well getting lost with more people is fun but I guess we could find your friend from earlier? And then maybe go find our rooms?”
Turning to Amelia I thought to her, come on cheer up he seems nice and I think you two could get along well. Giving her a quick sisterly hug, I spun around covered my eyes and pointed. “Let’s go this way!” I said pointing in the direction where I had stopped spinning.
Once again bounding off in the direction, I had to admire the school it was pretty breath taking, minus all the snow which was making walking (running) a little more difficult. I wondered if I could sketch a bright summery day and it would get rid of the weather. I was lost in my thoughts when I bumped into someone and fallen back. Looking up I saw Raiden’s friend Yuuji? He was also with a guy with purple hair who I had bumped into. “Gah I’m so sorry!” Way to go Ainsley what a way to make a first impression. “Hi,” I said cheerfully. “Uh you’re Raiden’s friend right? I think he may be looking for you.” Turning to the guy with him I just had to comment, “Your hair and eyes are sorta epic. I’m a bit of a purple fanatic.”

One minute Ainsley was talking, the next she was off, heading towards the front of the school. "Huh, well she seems excited." I was left with Amelia, so I might as well walk over with her. I was about to follow her sister when all of a sudden snow started to fall...snow? Since when was it winter? It was actually kind of cold now, since it started getting heavier. "Um...ok then?" I guess this kind of thing is expected in a school like this....but who would make it snow?! I mean really... I hate the cold! Ugh... I would usually say this outloud, but I didn't want to scare Amelia off. The cold white stuff falling from the sky was now gathering on my shoulders and head, making my clothes wet. Oh great... if only I had brought my umbrella....ah! I wouldn't need to say that if it wasn't snowing!!! I am lost for ideas of how to fix this problem when my eyes stumble upon the metal bench from before. Hmm, maybe if I... aha! "Yes, that will work nicely." I say to myself, not realizing that I said it outloud. I have a habit of doing that. With more snow covering me, I immediately take the bench and warp it into the item I had in mind: an umbrella. A heavy and non foldable umbrella, but an umbrella all the same. With the new object in my hand, I walk back to Amelia and place it over the both of us. "That's better." I dust myself off, smiling at her.
-------------------------------
I was about to answer when I suddenly felt something cold and wet fall on my cheek. I look up and around me. Snow. Well that's peculiar. I barely had time to think about the new scenery when I felt someone bump into me from behind. A small girl with bronze hair. "Hello there. It's ok....oh ok." I say with a surprised expression. I wonder how she knows who I am, and Raiden...I guess he's made a friend already. Well, so have I...at least I hope.

Better, really? She thinks I look better as a blue freak?
"I'm sorry Typha..just can't stand people who act like that." I wonder why she stopped me from sticking up for her. Maybe she didn't want me to get myself into trouble. Maybe she wants to deal with it herself. Who knows. All I know is this new chick really gets on my nerves. I notice it's starting to snow. And I'm pretty sure it isn't winter, probably some ice guy. Fantastic idea to get on everyone's bad sides. Make it snow. Brilliant plan.
" Typha and spoiled brat, I think we should head inside."
------------------------------------
This girl has so much energy, it's...insane, in a good way I guess, but still insane nonetheless. I have epic eyes and hair? Epic's good last time I checked...
" Thanks. I happen to love my purple...ness."
I wonder what Yuuji thinks of her. More so...I wonder what Yuuji thinks of me? He seems nice enough,and it would be lovely to have a friend.
" Shall we go inside, go where ever we need to?"

Name: Luna Hawkins
Age: 17
Height: 5 ft 4
Weight: 125 lbs
Detailed Appearance:
Complexion- not pale, but not tan....so average? Hair- Short, layered pixie-cut. Black, with some silver and even less blue highlights. (Very minimal) Messy style. Build- Small, but not too thin. Eyes- Bright blue (even in animal form) Other- She usually has the ears and tail of a black cat.
Personality: She can be shy, but tries to be more outgoing once she warms up to people. She is very friendly, kind and loving toward others. She is more comfortable in her animal form, especially when people don’t know it’s her. She accepts and believes in just about anyone, and likes to encourage people. She is confident in who she is.
History: She has loving parents, a baby sister, and a nice home. She has always loved animals, so she sometimes shapeshifts into one and joins them. She considers herself very fortunate to have such a good life, and will miss her home while going to D’Albert’s.
Clothing: She likes wearing comfy things, especially sweaters. A grey off-the-shoulder (usually off both shoulders) sweater with large, long sleeves. She just wears a black tank top underneath. Baby blue shorts. Black flats. A silver necklace with a moon on the end, and is under her sweater.
Powers/Abilities: Is able to shapeshift into any animal. She can also change just part of her body, like just wings or claws, and can even combine more than one animal.
Weakness: Since she usually keeps the ears of a cat, they easily show her emotions. Is not good at hand-to-hand combat—better at stealth, but still depending on her form.
Other: Loves being a cat, or any type of feline, and taking cat naps.

Amelia: I hear the words come on cheer up he seems nice and I think you two could get along well go through my head and all the sudden I’m being attacked from the side. My breath shooting out of my lungs as my sister wraps me in a quick hug. It is kind of nice, and familiar, but I glare at her anyway. Then, true to her nature, she bounds off somewhere else, leaving me with a stranger. I could strangle her sometimes. It starts to snow, big cotton ball flakes. I look up to the sky, sticking out my tongue and squeezing my eyes shut, catching the flakes. Then I hear the boy mumble something, then the sound of metal scraping. The snow stops and I open my eyes to see an umbrella over my head. “Hey! What did you do that for? Snow is the best!” I say, stepping out from under the makeshift umbrella.
((OOC:Will reply for Bell tomorrow or next day.))

Raiden: I was slightly surprised at Amelia's response. There's that assertive voice! "Haha, well ok then, suit yourself. Off we go I guess." I then walked from the garden to the front, getting colder by the minute. I usually don't mind the snow, but that's when I'm prepared for it... I see Ainsley with Yuuji and another guy, who seems to like the colour purple...that's cool. I walk over and hope to join the conversation. "Hey guys! What's up? Jeez it's cold..." I turn to the guy with purple eyes. "Uh, hey there. I'm Raiden, you?" Hmm, this umbrella of mine is getting kind of heavy...
Yuuji: I was about to head inside when I see Raiden almost shivering over to us....with an umbrella made of metal that resembles the bench in the garden. I internally facepalm. Of course. "Hey Rai. *sigh*, I'm not even going to ask about what you're holding." I turn back to Damon. "And yes, we should probably get going." I pick up my two medium sized bags, ready to go, if only Raiden would stop his chattering. I do have other things to bring, they're just being brought later. While standing there, I fix my eyes on a patch of snow beneath me, and get an idea. Concentrating, I manipulate the patterns of light interacting with the snow, changing it's colour to a light purple. Of course, the conversation of Damon's purpleness fresh in my mind. I decide I want more, and expand the range of purple, but then adding other colours in different spots. In the end, the once plain white snow around us resembles a patchy rainbow, but this is only extending about 5 feet away from me. I don't want to get carried away.
Luna: *Sigh* I'm late, and on the first day. I silently plead for the taxi to go faster, and before I know it I finally arive at D'Albert's. Yes! I fumble in my pocket for money, a million things on my mind, and quickly hand it to the driver as I get out with my heavy bags. I actually had to carry a small, light one with my tail. "Thanks!" I yell back as I run towards the school, struggling under the weight of my luggage. At least I've been here a year already, so I won't get too lost. I wonder who I'll be roomed with. Last year it was, well...I just won't talk about her. She left anyway. I hope it's a good year! I almost slip on some snow while consumed in my thoughts....snow? I suddenly stop to admire the little crystals falling from the clouds. My eyes take me to a patch of almost rainbow snow. I can already tell this will be a very interesting year.
