"Well, I guess that-" Asa took the jacket gratefully, "I'm just getting sick from looking at your old, wrinkly face all day long." She said with a laugh, only to sneeze loudly once more. It was merely the teasing and playful banter her and Shane always had. "No, I'm just kidding. If you were old, I would respect my elders." She actually wanted to joke that he would have become camp leader long ago if he were a senior citizen, but she knew that it was a sensitive subject, so she refrained from bringing it up.

"Good thing we're in a hospital, you're gonna need a doctor when I'm done with you." He joked, Shane had wanted to continue helping the cleanup, which was going quite fast, but he didn't want to leave the hospital and not be able to thank Michael. "At least my age makes me look dignified unlike yourself." Shane had glanced out the window of the hospital, checking out the destruction that had been cleaned. I wonder if the others are doing alright... But that didn't matter as of now, what mattered was Michael getting treatment. "You may be young and attractive, but in my old age I've seen more things than you can imagine, my mind is full of knowledge, I'm like...A train of knowledge."

"I'm going to need a CAT scan, that thing's messing with my mind!" Asa was laughing hard now. "And seriously? 'Attractive?' Hardly! No one wants to go out with a beanpole. And guys like girls who are shorter than them, right?" She didn't mind making fun of herself when around others, especially Shane. If anyone was going to tease her, it would be either him or her. "Besides, I don't want to get in a relationship, anyways." Although she wanted it to sound like a joke, this time she was serious, and anyone close to her could see it.

Nathan looked at Ray, and scrounged his mind, Nathan's, not Ray's, to remember which ones he had seen. "Well.....I saw your father drive off to go save pope, during a storm....and him not coming back. And I also saw when you chased down those kids who had locked you in the room with that snake, and killing them." He finished, turning to look at Vi as she walked towards him.

"What did she do to you?" He asked her.

"Well, you are pretty hot when compared to me...Oh wait, no...I'm the best looking guy around." Shane could tell she was serious about the relationship thing, it was easy for him to tell she wasn't joking, but Shane, he wanted to find someone, and then he wanted to have a kid and name it next leader of the camp after Shane came in to power. "But seriously, don't be too hard on yourself, I've seen eight foot girls so ugly that you'd gag upon sight." he was lying of course. It was also easy to tell Shane wanted to find someone, but not just anyone, he believed in 'the one'.

"I guess old men can be hot, if that's what you're saying." Asa gave a lighthearted scoff. "Seriously? I'm the only eight-foot-tall girl you've seen. I'm hardly even human." She made a small noise, implying thought. "You have a better chance with someone around here. You're young, fit, and you can turn into animals. Girls like animals. Bears, cats, dogs, colorful birds and fish..." She grinned impishly, "... and lovebugs." she winked and nudged him playfully with her elbow.

"Shut up..." He blushed, embarrassed, and regretting his decision to remind her about the lovebug story earlier. Memories ran through his head as he stood there, good and bad, memories of his childhood that made him smile. "I wonder where Melody is nowadays, I haven't seen her in a few years." Melody was technically a shapeshifter like Shane, but she could only take on the form of something in her view, whereas Shane could shift into any animal he wanted, Melody's powers involved shifting into inanimate objects and other people aswell.

Vianne sighed, closing up the locket, and holding it in her hands. She stared down at it as she spoke. "It's more complicated than that...." She muttered. "She just..... My mom, she......" She trailed off, not sure how she wanted to word it. "She just abused her powers.... A lot.... Sort of daily, actually..... She just had a bad habit of reading everyone's mind... Manipulating their thoughts, their memories... Everything..... When my dad and I confronted her about it, trying to get her to stop, she....."A tear rolled down Vi's cheek as she clutched her locket tightly. "She used her powers on us.... She tried to make us forget we were upset with her..... She tried to mess with our minds, the same way she did with everyone else....." She muttered, voice cracking. She gripped her locket tighter as another tear rolled down her cheek.

Asa didn't shy from letting out a devilish snicker at the sight of Shane's coloring. "Nether have I. I wonder how she's holding up," she added with thought. "Maybe she moved away?" It wasn't unheard of, but outcasts rarely left camp once they have settled in, especially if they were born there like Asa was.

"Oh...." Shane didn't want to think that, he wanted to think he had a chance with her still, but he had no idea if she still lived in the camp, he didn't see any reason for her to leave, and she could've been anyone or anything because of her powers. "Well, I hope I can find her someday." Shane had never really had anyone other than Asa, and he wasn't attracted to her in that sense, so him knowing he had someone else he could hang out with and share things in common with made him feel better.

Nathan just looked at Vi as she was telling the story of what her mother had done to her and her father. "That's....,terrible." He said, wanting to give the girl comfort. By now, the purple had completely left his eyes. "I'm so sorry for you..." He said, sincerity in his voice.

"Well, there are a lot of people living here. Maybe she's just lives somewhere else in the camp." Asa liked being around Melody; she was a sweet, lovable girl, and they all got along well. She would feel upset to realize that she left, if that ever happened. Shane seemed to feel the same way. "Are you still sweet on her or something?" It was obviously a joke, and she grinned mischievously once more.

// Well damn, we're gonna need a Melody at some point.//

Shane had been lost in his daydreams of him and Asa and Melody playing in the fields, using their powers to have fun, laughing and playing and jumping around. "Yea....Wait, What? No! I mean...Maybe, but, what, no! You're sweet on her...Hmph." He crossed his arms and scoffed, very sensitive at his feelings for the other shapeshifter.

OOC: He's starting to remind me of Morph, being all "flustrated" and all.


Asa's grin dropped immediately. Oh... she never actually considered any truth behind her silly comment. He thought that Shane had been over his little crush on the girl, but judging by his flustered reaction, that clearly wasn't the case. Either way, Asa's remark hit home. "It was merely a joke, Shane. I didn't mean to insinuate anything, but I'm sorry if I did," she replied slowly, clearing her throat awkwardly. It only ebbed the soreness on.

//I suppose.//
"It doesn't bother me, I picked her flowers once, but was too afraid to give them to her, granted I was six and I couldn't grasp the meaning of love anyways." He stared at the clock intensely, he sat on a chair and his leg began to bounce up and down rigorously, he did that often, he enjoyed it. "Why are you so sick? Did a little rain do that to you?"

Vi leaned against him, wiping away tears from her eyes. She still clutched her locket tightly. "The thing is...." She sniffled. "She wasn't always like that..... When I was little, she was nice, you know sorta like any mom would be..... She used her powers, sure, but sparingly.... She never used them on other people, just to communicate with me and my dad..... It was like a comfort sometimes, knowing I just think and she would could hear me, calm me down if I was having like a bad day at school or something..... But she just like changed one day, and I never really knew why....." She muttered.

Is it too late to join?

Name: Gavin
Age: 12
Personality: Kind, adventurous, funny, laid-back and relaxed
Appearance: about 5 feet, freckles across face, brown eyes, brown hair, always wears red sweatshirt
History (Hopefully this is where I can come in): Gavin was born with the power to shapeshift into any non living object. He was an orphan, released by all his foster parents after they found out. He grew up running away from government officials trying to catch him. One day, he ran away into a forest and saw a camp. (Can I come in here in the story?).
Power: Shapeshifting into any living object

OOC: I would recommend making Gavin's shapeshifting ability slightly different from the other characters. There's already one who can shift into living things, and that's Shane. Maybe he can only shift into forms of energy or certain states of matter (gas, liquid, solid)?


Asa was grateful for the subject change. She didn't like bringing up subjects that were sensitive to Shane, like his grandfather, and now, Melody. "Oh-ho, a little rain? I was practically drowning out there; why I was even out there's beyond me."

Vi was quiet for a moment. She then put her locket back on and looked up at Ray. She noticed he spat blood out of his mouth. "I'm sorry about that, I wasn't really trying to hurt you or anything, I just.... You know, I didn't have a lot of options...." She muttered.

Michael sighed softly. He was teetering on the border between consciousness and unconsciousness, shutting his eyes every so often only for them to open again moments later. His mind was too muddled to really even realize the pain in his forehead, though if he was going to be honest with himself, he'd rather deal with the pain than the disorientation.

His eyes were slowly closing shut again when his breath hitched, eyes flying open again. Rage. He was angry. He didn't know why he was angry, but he was furious. Get away from me. I want you out. GET AWAY! Fingers finding the closest thing they could reach, he immediately flung away the offending object, the glass of water shattering as it hit the opposite wall.

You did this to me. You did this to me and you're going to PAY! The empath glared across from him, at nothing in particular, only knowing that he wanted it gone, away; that he was furious at whatever it was and he wanted it away from him.

Suddenly it stopped. The hatred, the rage... Gone in an instant. A fire doused by water. Michael leaned back in his spot again, a sad expression on his face as he realized what had happened. He shut his eyes again, this time not out of tiredness but out of the desire to escape the world. Escape these feelings brought unto him so easily.

//I don't think you read all the rules, I explicitly state that I won't allow anyone with powers that are the same as others, so no light-benders, shapeshifters, enviro's, pyro's, telepath's, or empath's. Also, i would very much recommend making your Character sheet a bit more detailed, and making him older as there will be a lot of stuff later on that would not be for kids, such as killing and blood and all that good stuff.

"Oh, Boo-hoo! I'm all wet from the rain!" He imitated her in a joking manner, "Did you forget I nearly got blown away in a tornado and I acquired a large gash in my head from a beam? And you're complaining about some rain? Actually, yea...The rain did suck." A smile upon his face, his teeth were a bright white color, practically glistening from the sun's reflection through the window.

((OOC: Yes, it did. It would've happened earlier, if the person roleplaying him had been online. ))

Vi was quiet and gave a slight nod of understanding. "Yeah, sleep sounds good right now..." She muttered. She wanted to go back to her cabin and go to bed, just relax and take a break from all the stuff that happened that day. It had been a pretty eventful day.

"Oh, how dreadful! It ruined my hair!" Asa whined, playing along. "Yeah, it wasn't too pleasant. I was afraid that the sun would never come back," she said wistfully, standing over by Shane and looking out the window, at the sunlight.

((OOC: I was talking about myself. Michael's reaction was a bit delayed because I wasn't online at the time that Ray lost it.))

Vi sighed and slowly began making her way back to camp, while fiddling with her locket. She was tired and she wanted to go to bed. She hoped she would be able to get some rest, and wouldn't be up all night wondering why her mother abused her powers the way she did.

Opening his eyes again, Michael sighed miserably. He really wished he wasn't alone right now. There had once been a time when he had someone to go to, when someone would come to him when he needed them most...


"Hey there, Mikey. You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm... I just..."

She wrapped his arms around him. "It's okay. You don't have to try to explain. I understand."

"Laurie..? Thank you..."

She ruffled his hair with a smile. "No problem, Mikey."



He shook his head, sighing again. Those times were long gone, now.

Vianne opened up her locket again, looking at the pictures as she walked. She wondered what her parents were doing right now. Sleeping most likely, she thought. Vi then yawned. Sleep sounded good right now.

Shane had asked the nurse permission to go see Michael, she nodded her head and showed them to where he was. Slowly the door crept open as to not wake up the already awake Michael. "Hey, Mikey." Shane said with a smile. "That was quite a bruise you got...Oh wait, I was the one who got the bruise, you stole it from me." He joked. "Thanks, by the way." A chair was next to his hospital bed, Shane took a seat.

Michael flinched slightly upon Shane's arrival. He'd gone from enraged to saddened to nostalgic in such a short amount of time that everything in the outside world seemed so distant. He hadn't really even noticed his appearance until the other boy spoke his name. Mikey...

Blinking, returning to reality, he nodded in acknowledgement and, in his way, a sort of, You're welcome. Lifting his head a bit, Michael glanced over to where he had thrown the glass, feeling guilty for whoever would have to clean that up. Leaning back again, he looked to the boy sitting next to him, giving him a soft smile of thanks; thanks for being here with him.

Vi made it back to her cabin. She yawned as she opened the door and stepped inside, closing the door behind her. She headed to the bedroom, taking her locket off as she walked over to the bed. She set her locket down on the nightstand, and then kicked her shoes off. Too tired to even bother changing, she plopped down on the bed, face first. Vi buried her face in a pillow, gripping the sides of it.

Nathan had just stayed there, watching as the two walked away. "Well, that went well." He said to himself, messing with some stones. "I hope we all can still be friends." He muttered to himself, fake happiness in his voice. He knew that he probably blew it with the two, and that they'd probably be leaving soon. All because of him. "All my fault." He kept on saying to himself, getting angrier and angrier, to the point where the purple started to come to his eyes.

((Can't finish right now.))

Ooc: Ok. How about he can turn into any non-living object

((Nathan for ya.

Time to finish that post.))

Asa quietly strode in after Shane, relieved by the nurse's invitation. She gave a welcoming, thankful smile to Micheal. She wanted to do something in return for the boy's kind, selfless act. Shane could have gotten a terrible concussion, and if that were the case, Micheal would have had it instead.

Gavin didn't know where he was running. He just knew he was running. He stopped for a second to catch his breath. As he looked up at the forest ahead of him that he had been wandering in, he saw a giant camp in front of him. He hoped they could give him food or water, if he just kept his talent hidden and pretended to be normal.

((When you say turn into any non-living objects, what do you mean? Like, explain it.))

Never mind is telakinesis taken?

//@Gavin My replies keep disappearing o.O I'd really appreciate if he was not a shapeshifter, it also wouldn't benefit him being able to transform into non-living objects anyways, this is like my number one rule, also I didn't say accepted yet, friend. (Even though you will be accepted no doubt.) So get creative, think of a different power. I really hope that isn't too much to ask. I just really want diversity, hopefully you understand.

Also, I'll reply later today.//

((Yeah, I already have telekinesis. Also, how bout......I dunno....think of something.))

Is telakinesis taken? I think that would be really cool
