[[Waiting on profile conformation. If it's confirmed, Jeffrey will probably be the least spectacular of these characters. Oh yeah, screw the limelight, secondary characters are where it's at.]]

[[sorry for replying so late >________________< hehe holiday times too much fun @[email protected]]]

Miyuku followed the boy as he led the way to the main office. She looked at him he had thick tealhair and pretty blue eyes and he was rather tall compared to Miyuku she was only 5'2. "Ummm hi my names Miyuku what's yours?.." she said the silence was making her uncomfortable she would glance up once in a while to look at tall figure beside but just as quickly she looked away.

Genie's inner photographer smiled. "You mean 'dark room' as in photography, right?"

[[Gosh, I'm at a loss.]]

Kei nodded, then turned halfway before stopping again. He hesitated for a moment, this wasn't a situation he normally found himself in after all, "Would you...would you like to go with me?" Reflexively he held ou t his hand.

Genie blushed inwardly. She took a cautious step towards the boy, reaching out her hand grasping his. But as their fingers touched, Genie subconsciously sent a shock through her hand, jolting Kei. She jumped back and held a hand to her mouth as she doubled over. Oh my gosh, not again, please dear god, not again. Still doubled over as if an invisible hand kept her kneeling, she patted her coat pockets nervously until she found her prize, a pair of dark gray gloves. She hastily pulled them on before painfully standing up and giving Kei a pained look of distress. "I'm....I'm so sorry, Kei," Genie gasped. "Sometimes I don't have any control over my power."

[[Urg, total crap reply....]]

Kei flinched slightly at the shock but that was the only reaction he showed, he'd been through worse, "It's fine." He murmured, looking at the slightly blackened skin that had been burned when Genie had shocked him, "Are you still coming?"

"Rin," he replied loudly, turning the corner. They weren't too far from the office. "It's nice to meet you Miyuku.

|| And I'm waiting for Avolition, I believe.

"Ugh. Should have gotten here sooner." Jeffrey mumbles to himself as he eyeballs his new dorm, and then the luggage outside. He sports short light-brown hair and brown eyes, and he wears a generic navy-blue hoodie and jeans...he looks as a normal student of any school would. Jeffrey sighs quietly to himself, starting to drag his few possessions into the room. "I was told that I was sharing this dorm with someone else, but I don't see them. They must be out. I had enough trouble finding this place without a guide...I suppose I should learn the layout too." He mutters to himself as he begins putting his clothes into his wardrobe and setting up the rest of his room. He is of average height and build--in fact, he looks downright slim and his appearance gives no clue of his powers.

"Nice to meet you too," she nodded as he said they weren't much further. "So...what kind of power do you have?" she asked curiously looking at him trying to figure it out. She looked away and looked around the school, she picked up her hand and sprayed mists of water to a plant outside a door, she smiled as it perked it up a little bit.

"Well," Rin began, "I have the ability to control electricity. Like, shoot lightning bolts and stuff. And I've been working on communicating with electronics but it's not going too well..." He smirked. "What about you?"

Genie nodded self consciously. She'd probably blown all hopes of friendship with the boy, but since he had still offered even after the shock she quickly grabbed his hand. "Yes."

Her eyes widened, "wow that's cool!" she said laughing. "Me?" she said pointing at herself "I can control water" she said with a grin bringing her palm infront of her she blew gentle mists over the boy smiling. "I am also trying to learn how to make rain when I want it too....I can make it drizzle but....I'm way far from a full hardcore storm" she laughed. "Oh well...I guess that's why I'm here" she shrugged.

Keiichiro curled his fingers around Genie's and then pulled her to his side before he continued walking, eyes trained forward and one earphone in his ear, his other free in case the girl decided she wanted to talk. He would be polite, maybe not friendly, but polite, friendly was an issue with him, especially since he didn't generally like human company.

((now that was a really bad update >.>))

[size=1]Rin's eyes widened. Dramatically and urgently he somersaulted away from the mist, and away from Miyuku. He looked at her with urgency, standing slowly. "Don't do that. Water and electricity? Not the best of friends." He breathed heavily, leaning against the wall.[/siz]e

"Ohh..oops...I'm..I'm sorry" her eyes fell. "I forgot..." she whispered. "And don't worry, my powers don't unleash unless I want them too...so your perfectly safe around me...unless you think other wise" She was quieter now...he face apologetic. She closed her eyes and concentrated and drained all the power from her hand, not it would only be unleashed again when she allowed it to be unleashed.

"... I don't doubt your ability to control your power, Miyuku. Just... be careful." He resumed walking, jogging past her. Silently he turned the corner. "There's the office. Uh, do you have a cell phone?"

She nodded silently as he jogged past her. "Thanks" she said looking at the office. "yeah..I have one..here," she handed him a slim blue cell phone. She waited leaning against the wall while he used her phone.

Rin clicked the buttons furiously before handing Miyuku her phone back. "If you need anything, text me." With that he walked off, leaving Miyuku at the recpetion desk.

Miyuku smiled and nodded "thanks for your help Rin!" she waved as he left. She walked up to the lady sitting in the reception area shyly and in a quiet soft voice she said..."Hi...I'm Miyuku, I arrived here a week late and I was wondering where my dorm was" She said smiling. She noted down everything the lady told her and she was off to find her dorm.

Harlo whimpered, trotting back towards him. She pawed at his face gently. A thin layer of dirt covered his face, he hadn't been able to wipe all of it away. Harlo began licking his face rather furiously and relentllessly in an effort to remove the dirt from his handsome face.

( I`m so, so sorry for the very very late reply. I didn't have net there for a while, and then was too busy to get on for a few days. Everything should be resolved now, however. Sorry, again. - Also, only quoting since the original post was pages back. )

The male scrunched up his nose as the dog licked at his face, shaking his head slightly and raising his hands to place them on either side of her muzzle. His fingers lightly encircled the length of her snout, to keep her mouth closed and keep her from licking at him and covering his face with icky saliva. A fond look crossed onto the male's face and he smirked happily, as if totally forgetting that he'd more or less face-planted the ground below them." Oi, you're like me nanny from when I was lil'. She'd do the same thing, take care of me when I'd fallen down or whatnot. "

The male did not, of course, see said nanny any longer - he was much too old for one, but that didn't mean he didn't wish he'd seen her more often in these later years. The male had enjoyed her company immensely, but had never gone after her, fearing she'd found him annoying. He had been, and still was, a spoiled brat. Luthien stuck his tongue out at the dog, pulling his head back while he let go of her muzzle, if she hadn't already shaken his hands loose, and went about cleaning his face off with the edge of his shirt after slipping it from underneath his jacket, since the later was covered in dirt and grass stains.

Letting his hands fall to his lap, the male cocked a brow at her. " Well, looks like I couldn't quite catch you after all, could I? " The male glanced around, his smile deepening slightly. " You know, then again, I bet it'd still count if I . . did this~. " With that, the male 'lunged' forward, but in a way so that he could just make an attempt to pick up the dog around her middle and haul her back towards him, totally intent on picking her up and cuddling her. She was absolutely adorable, and the male was quite sure that whoever owned her was no doubt going to be terribly upset with the disappearance of the canine.

Luthien would probably have to leave her sooner or later, as well. Sure, he wouldn't mind, but spending all his time with an animal - no matter how smart nor pretty, or charming she may be - was not what he'd come to do. Even while friend-making had been on the list, his education was important. So was eating and such other generally trivial things.

Harlo frowned. Thsi guy was getting way too attached. She had to end this, and she had to end it now. He would probably be angry or upset with her, but it would be better than being dispointed when she found out that there was no lovable dog.

She transformed so she was laying awkwardly in his arms, a very disapointed look on her face. Her frown grew as she met his eyes, her hair a little messier than she's like it. She was wearing a regular outfit, a black tee shirt and jeans. Harlo chewed on the inside of her cheek anxiously.

I'm sorry, she whispered.

The male held her quite close as she'd let him tug her up into his arms, and then winced as her shape suddenly started to shift. The male didn't realize what was happening at first, because while he wasn't a moron of any sort, he had convinced himself that she was an actual dog she'd played the part very well, and he'd been amazingly fond of her, in spite of their very short meeting and 'play' ). Then, as her features took a more human form, the male frowned, and the light of recognition/understanding flared in his eyes. He did not drop her, nor let her go. If anything, Luthien only held her a bit tighter, to keep her from falling or slipping out of his grasp.

In spite of the awkward position, holding her in the same way a groom might carry his bride out of a chapel, in that very cliche but seemingly charming way, the male kept a grasp on her, though shifted so that instead of having his hand on her rump ( considering he'd had it on her lower back when she'd been a dog ), and let her legs hang over his arm. While he wasn't amazingly muscular or strong, the male did a decent job of hefting her up against him a bit while he stood, with seemingly little strain.

Luthien gave little sign that he'd heard her whispered 'sorry' as he stood and set her on the ground carefully, a somewhat confused and thoughtful look on his face. He'd watched her at first, his mind working out everything that had just happened, and the new revelation that she was in fact a dog. The male wasn't sure what he was going to, or supposed to think about this. The school had been one for gifted kids, he'd known that. He'd even thought that she could plausibly be another student here at the school, though had let himself think otherwise.

Once she was placed carefully on the ground, the male let his gaze travel from the ground ( where it had stayed once she'd fully shifted into her 'normal' shape ) to her. Luthien watched her face for a long moment, and noted her expression. Right hand coming to rest itself on the back of his neck, fingers digging at his scalp ever so slightly as he twined his hair in his finger,s the male shook his head and smirked a bit. " Oi, no. It's fine. Shoulda figured you were too smart to be a pet, anyhow. " The male let his head lean to the side a bit and he smiled at her, eyes closed.

Luthien wasn't sure what to say at this point. " You uh. Make for a very fine beagle though. Thanks for.. err. Messing around with me for a while. " As he finished talking, his eyes traveled to the ground and he turned around. His feet, as if they had a mind of their own, started moving in the direction of the school. Luthien was running over what he'd said, and the girl, and trying to figure out what he felt about the situation. He wasn't mad, thought perhaps quite a bit disappointed and downhearted. The male wasn't sure what else to say to the female, as he'd had the assumption he was talking to and messing around with a pet - and they were so much easier to be around than humans, who were so complicated.

Harlo opened her mouth, but then closed it. She could taste the metallic taste of blood in her mouth from chewing on her lip. She blushed as the man turned and walked away. He was cute, there was no doubt about it, and she felt horrible for playing him, even though usually these things brought her joy.

She realized what she had to do, and she had to act fast. Grabbed the nearest rock, she dug in her pocket for some paper and a pen. Luckily, she happened to have it. She jotted her number and Text me on it before sitting on the ground and wrapping the paper around the rock. She put it between her feet awkwardly and transformed into a raven, the rock in her talons. Gracefully she took flight, flying over the boy's head.

Careful so as not to drop the rock on his head, she dropped it a few feet in front of him and continued to fly. she looked back every few second to see if he had gotten it.

Luthien just couldn't figure out how he felt about this whole situation. While he didn't look back at the female once, figuring that it would probably just spark some unwanted feeling in his gut, the male sighed slightly and let his hand drop to his side. It wasn't every day the male found and animal that he liked, and then found out it was actually a human girl. Well, actually, the male doubted anyone had that happen to them on a frequent/daily basis, unless this school had more kids like the girl previous.

Trudging along slowly towards the school, figuring he should probably head back to his dorm and crash for a little while, or maybe get something to eat. suddenly quite tired ( both physically and mentally ), the male paused as something falling through the air caught his attention. Watching the snail/rock/bit of something hard that landed a few feet away, Luthien screwed up his face in a confused look before glancing up, watching the bird ( raven? crow? ) fly off in the direction he'd been walking, Luthien stood straight. He turned around and glanced around for the girl from before, and then turned around to look at the bird again, squinting slightly.

A shape shifter that could change into the shape of any animal, then? Interesting, as well as somewhat scary.

An instant thought of ' I`ll have to be careful of any other animals around ' wandered through his mind. Shaking his head, for he knew the thought and rude and very cynical, the male jogged the few feet from him to the rock, bent over, and scooped it up. Unwrapping the paper, surprised it would have stayed on, the male palmed the rock in his left hand and read the quickly, and messily scrawled letters and numbers. 'Text me'. Luthien was, once again, not sure what to think about this.

Taking in a deep breathe of air and looking behind him again, the male slipped his hand into the right pocket of the legging of his pants and searched around for his phone, fumbling past whatever odd contents were inside ( candy wrappers, rubber bands, an MP3 player . . ) and slipped out his phone. Sliding the screen up and glancing at the paper, he memorized the number and slid both the paper and the rock into his pocket before 'typing' in the number, thankful for his skills on a full-keyboarded phone.

Once the screen for a text popped up, the male stared at it for a long moment, starting to walk towards the school again. What to say? Luthien frowned. He wasn't even sure if he wanted to say anything at all, he was still confused. Typing a few random words, then deleting them, the male kept this up for a moment or two before typing in a simple ' Hello? '. It took him a good minute before he hit 'send' and stopped walking, intent on standing there until he got a reply.

Lan stood in front of the gate with a gym bag and a suitcase slung over his shoulder. "This place is huge, it's bigger than the orphanage anyway. I hope these people keep their end of the deal. Well, it's not something I'm gonna think about out here." He walked slowly through the gate and made his way to the door. He put the suitcase down in order to open the front door.

Once he opened it, he picked up his suitcase and went through the threshold. He scanned the halls for his room. "It's room 2, it should be ... right here." He opened the door silently and looked around the room to see if anyone was around. "So no one is here right now, huh? I guess I have some time to myself." He pushed his stuff under the bed and climbed onto it to sleep off the jet lag.
