"You too," he replied, mumbling and fiddling with his hat.

"I just love your hat, by the way," Marie says, "It's cute."

tommy kept his mouth shut, not daring to interrupt this time.

Theresa's parents had made her go on the tour with them and so she was thoroughly bored by the time they cut her loose. Her boredom had the side effect of making the air immediately around her completely still. She approached the largest group of students to see what was going on.

A redheaded, mousily-dressed girl was quietly perusing the refreshments at that time.

"I know, right?" Jason agreed.

Figuring food was better first, Theresa wandered over to the refreshment tables. "Got anythin' good over here?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 8:13 pm

"Er, well, there's these... little sandwich things? I think they're turkey." Her accent was difficult to place.

"Doesn't exactly qualify in my book, but when in New York do as the... whatever they're called... do." She put a few things on a plate. "Name's Theresa."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 8:20 pm

"Brigid. I don't think they were going to serve us anything really fancy, anyway."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 8:25 pm

"I wouldn't imagine so. Just students and parents, not donors or anythin' like that."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 8:26 pm

"And I think they're assuming kids our age will eat anything. Not that they're wrong," she said as she eyed the crowd.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 8:29 pm

"That's true. Of course, back home it's not a get-together without somethin' fried," she said with a laugh. The air around her had begun to move again.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 8:29 pm

"You've ah... kind of got a thing going on, there."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 8:39 pm

"What?" She looked around and then dabbed at her face with a napkin.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 8:40 pm

"...maybe I'm just imagining it. Mutant school, you expect everything to be a mutant power, you know?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 8:43 pm

It was only then that she seemed to notice the air movement. "Oh yeah, that. Yeah, that's probably mine lettin' up."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 8:43 pm

"Oh, guess I'm not going crazy then. That's kind of cool."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 8:45 pm

"I suppose. Until it starts rainin' on my head. Then it ain't."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 8:48 pm

"Hope it doesn't do that indoors, huh?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 8:54 pm

She cringed, "Sometimes. I try to go out when that happens though."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 8:57 pm

"So it does? I wouldn't think there would be enough air moving around. That's really a bad deal."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 9:11 pm

"I have to be in a really bad way for that to start happening though. And usually it contents itself with rainin' on my head and just my head."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 9:13 pm

"Seems like that's something that would get better though, right? There's some really famous weather controllers, like Au- er... Storm you can look up to."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 9:16 pm

"Once I figure out how to make it stop when I want, then I can look up to someone."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 9:17 pm

"They're really good with that here, from what I understand."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 9:20 pm

"That's what I'm told. That's what I sold my parents on."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 9:21 pm

"Oh yeah. Talking parents into going to this place is totally a pain, isn't it?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 9:27 pm

"Oh hell yes. Mine wanted to keep me at home. I think it was when Dad lost a second TV to a lightnin' bolt that they decided maybe they couldn't handle it."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 9:28 pm

"Yeah, and mine were all 'oh, but your brother didn't need to go to school away from home' and I was just 'but my brother is a dork.'"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 9:30 pm

"I'm an only child, thank God. I didn't have to fight against that stream."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 9:31 pm

"Yeah, it's not like anyone should be expected to want to stay home forever."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 9:38 pm

"Preachin' to the choir," she laughed. "Where's home for you?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 9:42 pm

"It's ah... kind of far away. You probably haven't heard of it," she said with a fidget.

by **Aisha Khan** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 9:45 pm

A carrot stick floated up from the tray, landed in a bowl of dip, and then vanished.

by **Thomas Bowen** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 11:09 pm

Tommy had moved over to the table, trying to slink away from the two scary twins. girls were tough. Floating carrots were easier.

"Hello? Is there a TK nearby?" he asked loudly, no sure where the psychic controlling the carrot was located.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 11:11 pm

"Probably not," Theresa agreed.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 11:12 pm

"Sorry. It's just... kind of hard to explain."

"...and I don't think telekinesis makes carrots eat themselves?"

by **Thomas Bowen** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 11:14 pm

"Maybe TK and teleportation?" he replied, a bit more comfortable with the mousey girl.

by **Aisha Khan** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 11:15 pm

"No, I'm right here." Aisha replied, her mouth still slightly full.
