[u][i]Amanda, Nikki, Gabe, Jake, & Jaska.[/i][/u]

Gabe and Jake chuckled at Red's super ego comment that was directed at Amanda. Amanda was an attention whore, plain and simple. Nikki seemed like the cooler one, while Amanda was just a try-hard plain and simple. 

The twins looked at each other with annoyed looks on their faces. Before reluctantly giving up their names to the girl...

"Jake Valos, nice to meet you." Jake awkwardly said

"Yeah, yeah, name's [i]Gabe.[/i] Don't lose it. Because I'm only givin' it once." Gabe hissed.

"Lizard-man, I'm [i]never[/i] late." Henry's pun went clean over Amanda's head as she kept her toothy grin going. "Because the second I arrive, it's automatically on time. Because that's when the party gets started." Poo. It seemed like little Red and his friends weren't too receptive of Amanda. Well, that wasn't the point of coming over here. What was the point is getting Nikki's name out there. Other that comment towards Henry, Amanda kept her mouth shut, and let her take the lead.

The situation wasn't going too well for Nikki. She's awkward! Everyone seemed to be taking jabs here and there at Amanda. Worst of all, one boy wasn't paying attention to Amanda and was talking to her. A cute boy, wearing a suit and all. The young Korean girl didn't know of Red's intentions, but she was going to be nice as she can. "Yeah... Nice to meet you too, Red." She shook his hand, very hesitantly. She whispered to Red, "I'm new here and... excuse Amanda, she's always been like that. But, I'm glad she helped me meet some people... In all the wrong ways..." Nikki topped off that statement with some awkward laughter.

[u][i]Deborah Lillian Termellio, & Shannon Jacqueline Balore.[/i][/u]

Along with some of the other returning students, Deborah was already on the island ahead of time to get ready for classes. She was already in her assigned room, idly brushing her hair. She was waiting for the speech to be over, because she was tired of hearing that speech over and over again. Fortunately, she knew when it was over, as she heard a mass of sounds not too far away from her, and made the connection that everyone is heading towards the cafeteria. Perfect. She put on the rest of her outfit, which consisted of rather tight black jeans, and a black low cut tank top. She was quick to head to the cafeteria, arriving a few minutes after everyone else. She knew Shannon would be here, and she would certainly want to hang with her friend.

Like she usually did, she slowly walked through the crowds of people, observing them one by one to get as much information out of them as possible.

Deborah walked by a young girl, easily in the fourteen range, looked rather perplexed. [b]New student. Having a hard time adjusting to the Academy and it's people. A fish out of water. Craves attention, has been pampered and ignored most of her life.[/b] Not too interesting to Deborah. It was the typical reaction for people who were new here. Eventually they would get over it and blend in. 

Another girl that caught Deborah's attention was a Gothic girl. [b]Very vindictive, wants to go unnoticed while she schemes. Obviously a returning student.[/b] Not exactly the type she would associate herself with. She would keep her eyes open for this girl.

Finally, there was that trashy girl with what had to be more food than her stomach could hold. [b]Didn't eat often before coming here. Lived a rough life. Does not care for anyone and wants to be left alone.[/b] Another person on Deborah's avoid list. She didn't want to cause any trouble with her.

The table full of people was what made Deborah stare. All of them was a hotpot of information, being able to be read like a card. 

The first girl was the daughter of the esteemed Adam Blackmore. Deborah has read the girl like a card time and time again. So many times that she probably literally knows the girl inside and out. This time, there was something clearly different. Enough. [b]The Asian girl is her cousin, and she took herself to introduce the girl to some people. Amanda wants to be the center of attention. But legitimately wants to help her cousin.[/b] 

Deborah turned her attention to Nikki, catching the flies swarm around her. [b]Shy, definitely uncomfortable with being here, and even more uncomfortable around other people. Has a control arthropods, possibly only lesser arthropods.[/b] Maybe this girl will be interesting to Shannon. She did want to practice with spider silk, and maybe make an outfit.[i] I wonder how I would look in a dress made out of spider-silk...[/i]

There was the boy with the obviously animal features, claws, teeth. [b]His power has made him primal in his thought process. He has a touch of the wild in him, and is innocently ignorant to social norms - but just wants to have fun. Is in the process of domestication.[/b] Hm. People like him pop up in the Academy every now and then. The bestial types that actually become animal-like in their mindset. The boy started off young, and is fighting the impulses in his head. Perhaps once he gets older, he'll get over them.

The boys in the suits, one white, one Latin American, certainly caught her interest, but there was one problem. [i]Fuck. They're both Cerebral types.[/i] Deborah cursed in her head. She couldn't read them as clearly as other people here. Merely because they produce a mental 'static' that interferes with her own ability to read them. Well, they looked like more reasonable people in this crowd.

The Latina girl was missing her eye, and looked like she's been in more fights than she could count. [b]Scars and other injuries imply a very violent background. Either she's a violent one, or there was an unseen conflict. She shows a bit of contempt towards everyone. Supports either theory.[/b]

By reading all of them, she managed to come to one final conclusion. [b]All three are siblings, and new here.[/b]

Then there was a giant lizardman who was basically a teacher. Deborah has seen Henry for herself a few times, but never interacted with him. She managed to pick out his motives. [b]Wants to be the cool guy among the students. Really just a tool.[/b]

Hmph. That was all the students that really caught her eye. It was about time that she moves on before anyone starts asking question. She reached into her jeans and pulled out her handkerchief, the one given to her by Shannon, and cupped it with both hands, closing her eyes and focusing. She was reaching into her lover's head, and contact her....

[i]Heya.[/i] Deborah's voice appeared in Shannon's skull, it was so unexpected that it nearly rattled the redhead. It took her a moment to realize it was Deborah and not anyone else.

Shannon returned the message, [i]I told you to warn me next time you start poking into my head, Deebs. It startled me.[/i]

[i]And I told you[/i] that [i]was the warning.[/i] Deborah replied with a chuckle. [i]Where are you? I want to talk in person.[/i]

Shannon raised her hand up into the air and started waving it around. It didn't take anymore than a second for Deborah to catch it outside her peripheral, and make the instant connection that it was Shannon. The two girls walked over towards each other, and met at a small table not too far away. 

"So, what did you get on the newbies?" Shannon leaned forward on the table, folding her hands together in front of her face. 

"A few things..." Deborah started her explanation.

The two girls talked alone with each other for the duration of their meeting.

[u][i]Theresa Sindel Obott, & Dana Lucile Alcott.[/i][/u]

At the corner of her eye, Dana spotted a girl sit down alone. Obviously a new girl, since Dana has never seen the girl before in her life, and Dana has seen plenty of students. Either most of the new kids stay here, or leave. "See her? We should go talk to her." Dana pointed at Sydney.

Which made Theresa look at Sydney, and say, "Sure."

Theresa rolled Dana up to Sydney's table, and the wheelchair bound girl was the first one to speak, "Hey, can we sit down here? I'm [i]Dana[/i], and this is my friend [i]Theresa[/i]."

(Crappy POV, I know. I didn't have much steam left)
