Down for a good book

[Riff~Raff]

"I'm in the New Mutants group with Shadowkat" Riker said with a smile. This girl seemed interesting as she obviously had a good handle on her powers. "So what exactly is it that you can do? That is with ice?" Riker asked raising an eybrow. His ears purking up as he became focused solely on the girl.

[Frostbite]

Lorelai nodded as she heard his group, "I'm in the Acolytes with Colossus," she returned, smiling. Riker seemed interesting and the ears and tail were something different but cool to see. "I can control, and manipulate ice, and it would seem shoot ice as well," she laughed slightly, "Also make the area around me colder, but that's only happened when I've gotten angry so far," she explained, turning herself to face him better since it seemed as if the conversation was only between them now.

"And you? How exactly are you wolfy, besides the ears, tail and teeth?" His power was interesting and she was curious to find out more about it.

[Riff~Raff]

Riker smiled. "Well I'm extremely fast, though Lurai is far faster, and I have a very heightened sense of smell as well as hearing. I can speak to wolves and some other animals, but nothing too big. I'm really good at hunting too, but Lurai is a better tracker. I lived with wolves for a while, because we were so young when our powers emerged that we just kind of got adopted by a pack." Riker looked down a little nervous, he'd never actually told anyone about him being raised by wolves. He'd always had to make up a story so that no one would get suspicious of him.

[Frostbite]

"That's awesome," Lorelai answered, smiling at Riker. His abilities were different, but it made him unique, which is always great to be. "And really?" she asked, looking at him with a slightly tilted head, "Raised by them? Or just lived with them? But that's still wicked awesome," she said, letting out a little laugh, but her smile faded a little when she saw Riker look down. "Something wrong?" she asked.

[Riff~Raff]

"Well I was raised by them, like I was a part of the pack, and well I've just never actually told someone the truth. It's a little odd." Riker smiled. "Really its just nice to actually get to be myself around someone" his ears lowered as he closed his eyes and smiled. He blushed slightly, she was a pretty girl too, and he could already tell they'd be great friends.

[Frostbite]

Lorelai smiled as he explained himself, and she couldn't help feeling a bit special when she heard how often he told people what he told her. "Ah, that's cool, to be part of the pack, to have your family. And I know what you mean regarding being yourself," she said, remembering how she once was when she first came here; she was quite timid, and then as she made some friends she felt herself returning to her normal self. Thinking about her friends, she thought about Torri, who she could tell would be a great friend with a little more confidence, and Ian. Ian was great, and as she briefly thought of him she couldn't help blush a little.

She was thankful Riker didn't see it since she saw his eyes were closed, but she did see a little blush on him as well. "Hmm," mumbled to herself as she thought for a moment.

[Riff~Raff]

Riker opened his eyes. "What's on your mind?" he asked. He'd hoped he hadn't offended her or overstepped his boundary in any way. He smiled at her as his ears stood up. His tail moving back and forth slowly.

[Frostbite]

Lorelai snapped herself out of her thoughts, and looked to Riker. "Oh, just some random things is all. I have a tendency to think a lot, even if what I'm thinking about is completely irrelevant. It's a bad habit," she laughed slightly. She knew she'd have to think things over later; there were things that kept popping up in her mind that needed to be sorted, but for now she'd remain talking to Riker. She liked talking to him, and she thought he'd become a good friend to have, and she couldn't help but laugh playfully as she saw his ears perk up and his tail swish around with his reactions.

[Torri]

Torri walked a little begrudgedly through the school, she was still getting used to her unirofm which never seemed to get any looser. But she was determined to make it so. Although, even when she tried to change her shape so she was smaller, the uniform moved with her body, which was most aggrivating to her, as she hated anything tight. Unless they were her jeans, but these were like...leather? which wasn't Torri's favourite material in the first place.

Finaly finding herself in the library, she decided to pick up a book at least. She had fallen behind in such since she got to the school, and it wasn't very nice for her as she loved her books, they were her favourite thing before she came here. And now all she ever seemed to do was swim and mope. At least back home she was able to mope in silence, but knowing she was known to be moping made her want to even defy that.

As she walked into the room, rolling her bent arms in circles to try and loosen the never giving outfit and waved a little, if shyly at her team mate and one of her few friends Frostbite. She would need to find out her name eventually, but for now their codenames would suffice. "Um.....hello...." she mumbled gently.

[Frostbite]

As Lorelai awaited a response from Riker, a small timid greeting reached her ears. Turning her head revealed that Torri had showed up, and a smile came across her face. "Hey Torri! How are you?" she asked, happy to see her friend, and smiled wider as she saw that she was wearing her Acolytes uniform. "Love the uniform! It looks good on you, but I can see you're unused to it. Neither am I, really, so that's why I changed out of it for a bit," she said, using her head to indicate that she should take a seat with the group that was forming.

"I'm sure you know Jumper, yes? This is Riker," she said, lifting a hand to politely point out the cool wolf boy sitting next to her. "So how are you Torri?" she asked, still smiling.

[Torri]

Torri shyly walked over and took a seat which was technically within the group, but not really within their own group. She smirked gently at the comment about he uniform and nodded her head slowly. "Aye, even when i make myself smaller its really tight, i don't like it." she grumbled slightly. folding her hands lightly over her chest. "And it just means im really cold all the time, i hate leather, give me cotton any day." she mumbled, looking down a little and smirking to herself.

At the indication to the others she nodded her head, "Hey Jumper," she said with a small wave. Not sure if he and her were still on good terms or not. But as she was introduced to the other boy, she seemed to shy away more than usual, a small blush streaking over her scarily pale cheeks and her scottish accent seeming to come out thicker. "Um, hey Riker, it's nice tae meet you..." she said, blushing again and looking down to her lap as she pulled her legs up to her chest, hiding her face.

[Hardlight]

He came into the librabry and saw the group talking. He was new. He wanted a book about biology because that what he was studying in his other school. He was shy so he just went looking where he thought the science books would be.

[Frostbite]

Lorelai couldn't help smiling a bit at Torri's apparent slight dislike for her uniform. "We'll all get used to them in time," she said, watching as she took a seat, and laughing lightly at her comment about preferring cotton. She saw her greet Jumper, and then watch with a slight smirk as Torri seemed to clam up even more at being introduced to Riker, and heard her accent thicken greatly as she drew her legs up to her. How cute, she thought with a slight smile as she looked on.

She heard someone else walking around in the library and saw a boy she hadn't seen before. He didn't look as if he wanted to talk so she just glanced at him as she debated saying something anyway if he wasn't going to approach them.

[Fleet]

Jumper had dialed his control disc up as more people showed up, He had moved so fast that no one had seen him disappear. He needed to excuse himself for a moment. But he was back in a blur and noticed there were more people here. Smiling wide he slipped back into his seat and nodded to them all. "Well ey there. It seems I missed something. What's your name?" He asked to the wolk boy.

Then he turned and looked over to Shimmer and smiled wide. He remembered their last conversation didn't end so well, but Jumper never held a grudge. "Hey there Shimmer. Miss me?" He grinned and winked, relaxing back in the comfy chair.

Facing Frostbite and grinning he waved to the others. "It seems I am so popular I draw a crowd where ever I go."

[Frostbite]

Lorelai's eyes flashed to Jumper as she realized he must have moved so fast that he left, did something and then came back. She returned the smile and smirked as he looked to Riker and then acknowledged Torri. She continued smirking as he turned back to her and spoke to her, and she couldn't help but laugh at his comment, "Sure, of course, you are so very popular, and that's why they've all been talking to me," she said, laughing again, seeing that he was being himself, which she had to admit was amusing.
