Lorelai, freshly showered and smelling of a light scent of lavender and vanilla, wandered around the mansion looking for the library. She knew there had to be one since it was first a school, and secondly mansions in general always had one. Her footsteps echoed in the halls as she made her way through the place, in search of the big room where the books live.
After a bit she had found it, and she was not disappointed. The library was as she imagined it; big, welcoming, and full of books. With a large smile she walked in and looked around, seeing aisle upon aisle of books and large wooden tables with chairs surrounding them for major study sessions and the like. However she caught a glance at what she was looking for: a comfy plush chair by the fireplace.
Now that she found where she was going to sit, she had to find a book to occupy herself with. An almost mischevious grin slid across her face as she walked off to find a book to get lost in. She searched nearby aisles for something of interest to her, and as she skimmed the titles, she found one that she had at home. She let out a small happy gasp as she slid it out and held it in her hands, it looked like an older edition of what she had. Running a light hand over it, she turned to go back to the chair she found.
With a sigh, she sat down, still full from the pizza she ate and still reminiscent of the meeting with Ian. She could just tell he would go off to bug the fiery girl or Heather, but that was okay since she had her book now. However, she started feeling the heat emanating from the fireplace, and though it would be pleasurably warm to anyone else, it was beginning to feel too hot for her. Getting up and closing the book, laying it on the chair, she faced the chair and pushed it away from the fire, the feet of it loudly scraping against the hardwood floor.
Wincing a bit at the sound, Lorelai deemed it now at a comfortable distance, she picked up the book and sat down again, tucking a leg under her as she leaned back into the cushioned chair. Opening her book again, she began to read, and as the pages quickly turned, she thus lost herself in the familiar world of the book she knew and loved.

Jumper had a lot happen to him lately and since there was some new developments in his ability, he wanted to try and read up on it a bit. So he walked into the library and began looking around. He had spent time in here when he had trouble sleeping. Strolling along the isles he found a book on molecular acceleration. Jumper was a very smart kid, but he tried to hide it.
Sliding the book from the shelf he was walkign to a soft seat and noticed the other student sitting there. He had seen her around before and heard her referred to as Frostbite. Being the usual Jumper and wanting to be socialble he approached and sat across from her. "Well hey there. how are you doing today?" He grinned looking to her. He took a moment to look over her form then back up to her eyes.

Getting deeper into her book, just about to plunge into the main plot that drew her to it, Lorelai was brought back to reality by a voice she had heard before but didn't quite recognize, and looking up saw it was the boy who had an issue at the party, Jumper, she thought his name was. She returned his grin with a smaller one and placed a hand in her book to not lose the page. "Hi," she answered, looking at him with a slight smirk, "I'm good, just was reading, yourself?" she asked, her voice kind.
She vaguely began remembering who he was; she remembered the infirmary, he was the flirt. She inwardly smirked to herself as she wondered if he'd pull anything on her.

"Am I interrupting? Ofcourse I am, your reading a book. Sorry Didn't mean ot bother you." He smiled as he relaxed into the chair more. "Well since I already interrupted, Im Jumper. Nice ot meet ya." He had seen her often and it always seemed she was in the company of Ian. So he didnt know if they had a thing together or what. "So I hear your code name is Frostbite. I can only assume thats because your ability has to do with Ice?" His brow raised a bit as he asked.

Lorelai's smirk grew as he asked a question and then answered it himself, and she laughed, "It's okay though, I'm not mad," she said, "And nice to meet you too, Jumper, I'm Lorelai," she said in turn. She found she didn't use her codename much, but she never forgot it was there, and knew she'd come to use it in time.
Nodding to his next comment, she let out a laugh, "Yes, that is my codename. Sometimes I quite live up to it, which always isn't the best thing," she said, looking off to the side for a moment before turning back to Jumper, and then smiled a bit. "Yeah, ice is my thing. It's pretty cool, so to speak," she said smirking. "What about you? What's your thing?" she asked in curiousity.

"Good, Im glad your not mad cause I have a habit of talking a lot." Tilting his hea da bit listening to her. She seemed to have a sense of humor, that was a good thing. And she seemed pleasent enough. "Ice powers huh? Very cool." He chuckled as that came out wrong. "No pun intended. So do you shoot ice? Or control it? As for me, I originally thought I was a teleporter, but it comes to be, that I am just very, very fast."
"So what are you reading?" Asking a bit curious. Sitting up and placing the book he held down on a table.

Lorelai smiled as he talked, and laughed at his little pun, "Nice one, my pun was intended. It's always fun to use that when describing my abilities," she said, smiling again. "Er.." she said, thinking for a minute how to explain her powers, "Technically I can control it albeit not well yet.. manipulate it.. and yes, essentially shoot it too, as well as make the area around me colder. And your power is cool! You'd win any race," she laughed, now placing her bookmark in her book to keep her place as she could see she wouldn't be reading now, but she didn't mind.
"Oh, this," she said, looking at the book and then to Jumper, "This is only my favorite book. It's called Twilight. It's about a girl who falls in love with a vampire and I just love it," she explained briefly, placing her book in her lap and adjusting the way she sat for a second.

Riker walked into the Library, happy he'd found it. He'd have to remember and tell Lurai where it was. She'd never been to a library before, in fact she didn't go out much either way. When he got inside he saw a girl and a boy talking. He smiled to himself. Unlike his sister he liked speeking to people.
He looked at the girls book and recognized it as one of the books that his sister has read. "My sister's read that book. She likes it a lot" he said smiling down at the girl, his tail wagging behind him.

Lorelai had been awaiting a reaction from Jumper when she heard another voice come in. Turning her head a bit, she saw another boy there, and she returned his smile as she noticed his tail wagging--he had a tail. That caught her off guard for a moment but she quickly regained herself and continued smiling at him.
"That's cool, I absolutely love it. I wonder how I managed to leave my copy at home," she laughed, laughing at herself as she remembered how she was once so attached to it that it was ridiculous.

Riker chuckled. His ears perking as his smile grew his sharp k-9's showing. "She feels the same way, its interesting actually. She's more attached to books than people, except for me she's pretty attached to me too" Riker smiled as he thought of his twin sister. "I'm sure you'll meet her some time, she's bound to stop being a hermit" he said. "I'm Riker, or Riff~Raff if you must" he said with a wink.

Lorelai laughed lightly as she saw the boy's ears perk and saw his sharp teeth in his smile. "She has good taste in books then, because it's quite addictive," she chuckled, "And aww, she sounds sweet, but I think here she'll make friends. The people here are really nice," she said, and couldn't help laughing at his comment. "Ah, I used to be a hermit too, but I like how I am now," she said, smiling.
"Nice to meet you Riker, or Riff~Raff if I must," she laughed playfully. "I'm Lorelai, or Frostbite. Either one will do for me," she said, debating whether or not to hold out a hand for him to shake. It was a habit of hers, but she wasn't so sure she should since she knew she was colder than normal.

Riker smiled holding out his hand for her to shake. "Pleasure to meet you Miss Lorelai" he said with a smile. She was a cute girl and she was very welcoming. It was a nice feeling having someone be that welcoming. "Well either way if this is the case I'm going to stop trying to hide my accent" he said letting his thick Irish accent come through. He'd had people want to befriend him just for it so he was careful with how he spoke. He wanted people to welcome him because of him and not because he was from a foreign country.

Lorelai smiled back and extended her hand to shake his with a grip not as firm as she liked; she didn't want to come off as too cold to him, but she kept her voice its normal pleasantness, "Likewise, Mr Riker," she said, taking her hand back. She heard his voice change, his accent getting an Irish brogue to it, and it brought a smile to her face. "Ahh, so you're Irish," she said, grinning wide. "Very cool; I've some Irish in me as well, though sadly I don't have the amazing brogue," she said, shrugging a little with a giggle.
"So your power, it would seem to me that you're... wolfy?" she asked with a playful laugh.

Riker let his tail wag and he smiled. "It would appear so" he said smiling. "How bout you my dear, your body heat was below level, so I assume you have something to do with cold?" he asked. "Not to mention your name is Frostbite" he said laughing. The handshake only confirming his assumtions rather than opposing. His ears fell down as he relaxed and took a seat next to her.

Lorelai smiled, looking off to the side a bit as he voiced that she was bodily colder than other people and then nodded, "Indeed, my ability deals with and regards ice. So technically I'm cold in general," she explained, laughing a bit. She knew she had a slight tendency to act as such as well, but from what she had seen of Riker and even Jumper, she didn't think that she would be like that to them. They both seemed nice and interesting to her. She looked on as Riker took a seat and she smiled again. "So what team are you on? Everyone is assigned to a team, and as much as it brings us all together it sort of sets us off from others," she noted aloud as she looked at him for an answer.
