Torri looked up slightly at the boys voice, she raised an eyebrow a little, wondering if had been her specifically that h had spoken to. Pointing to herself shyly she spoke in her usual quiet voice, "I'm To- Shimmer, I'm Shimmer...." she said, looking back down again and blushing. Finally, her stomach gave way and she reached forward to scoop a small spoonful of vegetables onto her place, poking at it with her fork before she slowly raised a piece to eat it.

Heather looked toward her food, yet looked at Torri from the corner of her eye. She was happy that the timid girl was finally conversing and joining groups, although she still needed a lot of work. Heather couldn't help but smile when she heard Torri use her mutant name. Shimmer. She wondered what that meant about her power. Heather also wondered if Torri was able to control her power yet, as Heather still couldn't summon it, let alone control it.
Bringing herself back to the present and reality, Heather forked a piece of turkey and dipped in into the soup of gravy on her plate. Gravy tasted great with everything. She took the large bite and closed her eyes, savoring the juicy taste. Colossus could cook, she thought.

Between bites and drinks he cleared his throat. " So we got a Aqua, a Shmiiner, and a Jumper. Interesting mix so far." Looking to the others here. Obviously the others were the teachers. Wondering if more students would be showin gup. He dug into more food, he couldnt help it, the food was great. Using his fork to motion around. "So anyone here wanna share what makes them special? All of you have already seen me."

Heather winced and held her giggle inside. Indeed, Jumper's power was unique. Her's however, she didn't even know what made her special. She so far turned water into ice and made water levitate around her without realizing it. What did that mean? Ms. Frost was kind enough to track her down and bring her here. She told her that she possibly had the ability to control and change the forms of water; hence the name Aqua.
She shook the past from her mind and looked to everyone sitting at the table. Torri wouldn't say anything unless provoked, that much was certain. She decided a true ice breaker, no pun intended, would be to speak first.
"Well," she replied softly. "I'm Aqua because, I'm not really sure yet." She blushed at her embarassing power. "But so far all I know is that I can convert water into different forms, like gas to liqud, or solid to gas, stuff like that."

"Hmmmm thats an interesting gift indeed. I can only imagine what you could accomplish with that." Nodding more as he chowed down on more food. Still looking around at everyone. He had always had a family, but not one so interesting, or that shared his uniquness. Being here with these people made him feel a bit norml.

Torri looked down once more and sighed, thinking that she needed to try and feel included in the conversations. So, sitting upright a little, she spoke kindof louder than usual she did. "Mine is something similar to shapeshifting i think, but i don't understand it much."
Sitting back a little Torri hid herself again, hanging her head in embarassment from speaking.

Tilting his head towards Shimmer, he nodded holding a fork full of turkey. "Shapechange huh? In what way?" He asked honestly as he then ate the turkey still listening.

Torri shook her head slowly, "I.....i don't know. I've only been told about it recently and....well.....i don't really understand how it is meant by shapeshifting, all i know is i can shift my body shape a bit, not much, but still...." she looked down a bit further and sighed, "Unlike you, you've got yours down to a tee!" she said, laughing a little to herself.

Shrugging and eating a bit more. Then he smiled as he actually heard Shimmer laugh. It may have been a little one, But it was noticed. "So now we are getting soewhere. You can smile and laugh. But......." He looked to Shimmer and winked. "There si a difference between our abilities. I can only pop fromone place to another. But to alter your shape. And change your body. That has to tke a lot of concentration and power. But it will come to you more with practice."

"As for me well, you saw my 'gift' just then when I bumped the table. I have this forcefield and it wont turn off - LOOK!" Haven reached for the serving dish of mashed potatos and before her hand got to it the dish started to slide along the tabletop. "I have to concentrate really hard to 'peel it back' and that's anytime I want to eat or bathe or whatever. Some safe haven- cute play on the word Ms. Frost." Haven looked down to the end of the table.

Looking to Haven and shakin ghis head. "Awww its all in yoru head Haven. Its just a matter of perspective. I mean think abotu it. Your force field doesnt keep everythign out. So it has to have a way to let things in. " Raising a brow waving his fork around a bit. " Besides if yoru forcefield kept everythign out. you wouldnt be able to breath."

Heather smiled when Torri actually laughed for the first time she knew her. Listening to Jumper and Haven's conversation, she couldn't help but feel a sense of home. Eating dinner and actually being accepted in this new "family" was refreshing. She took more turkey and mashed potatos from her end of the table and drowned them in gravy.

Torri sighed a little at being told her power would be hard to controle, it was bad enough in the first place.....but having to try and controle it would be torture. Lowering her head again, she stretched her arm out in front of her and played with the small salad on her plate. Not ever really feeling hungry, even more when there is alot of food around her, but there was a part of her that wanted to seem better of a social person today, for some reason unknown to her.
Leaning forward she made to take a small piece of white meat from the turkey and placed in on her plate, along with alot more of the vegetables. She didn't bother taking anything else, as she knew she would finish what she had anyway. Sighing again she spoke, "You seem very in the know about powers jumper, how so? i mean, were all just new here....how do you know so much already?" she asked innocently.

Enjoying her meal and finally gettin full, Heather couldn't help but smile to herself. Hearing Torri's question however, made her listen carefully. "Yeah, Torri has a point. How do you know so much already?" She leaned into the table to hear Jumper's explanation better.

Laughjing a bit as eh was put on the spot. And then shrugging as he ate some more. " I try and learn all I can and have spent the better part of two years playing with my ability, a lot of time because I dont sleep much. I also listen a lot. I mean unlike some others, I dont look at my ability as a curse or something bad to hold back and be afraid of. I embrace my abilities. . And I like who I am because of it."
