[u]Poppy Flanagan[/u]

The moment Theresa responded, Poppy tired to get a hold of herself. Or a better hold of herself. There was no way she was going to be comfortable until this awful 'game' was over. Even now there was plenty of commotion going on across the playing field. Especially the bright flashes from those with energy powers. Since they weren't nearby all they did was make it difficult to get accustomed to the dark, not that it'd help her all that much. She might have been able to see her roommate though. "Theresa? That you?..." she choked. Her words were cut off by an unexpected embrace, one that she didn't fight in her current state. Afterwards it would surely be awkward, but in the moment it was calming. Then she felt something she was sure she wasn't supposed to feel. [i]My neck, it's wet...[/i] What the heck was going on If it came from Theresa it was something she wasn't looking for from her, or anyone. That also begged the question of what exactly it was, and why. 

"Wha-" Poppy pulled away for a moment then relaxed. The world around her lost it's edge, her frazzled nerves took a rest. Even time itself seemed to be moving slower, which would have been a bad thing moments ago. However she now found that she was enjoying herself. It felt nice. Theresa's warning about feeling funny didn't click with her right now. "I feel different." She shifted her weight and felt something crunch underneath her. Feeling around on the floor curiously there were many more. Had she a normal mentality she would have freaked out, but right now everything was so interesting to her. Poppy got up a little shakily, then she stomped her feet in place feeling the pops and cracks underfoot. "Hey, what's all this crunchy stuff?" she asked in slightly nasally tone. Then she clomped her feet again and giggled. Unbeknownst to her they were insects, and her hair was full of them too. "Is capture the flag over? Maybe if I find out what my power is I can play next time... Where's Adam?" She remembered they were going to see him after class. "They should turn the lights on already."

[u]Karlie Davis[/u]

This was the moment Karlie had been waiting for, except she wasn't exactly sure what good grouping up was going to do for her. If she were to use her ability even a little bit she would blow past Deborah and this other girl. Speaking of which, there was something up with her. She could barely see her in the dark, yet she wanted to get friendly with her. Kristen's pheromones amplified her natural tendency, so she didn't question it herself. One moment she was half considering taking the lead, the next she was content to go at whatever pace she was going. "So what's the game plan? Is Kristen our secret weapon or something?" When it came to Deborah she was thinking the same as usual. [i]We won't be getting the flag with her power... but she must know what she's doing.[/i] There was the possibility that this plan hinged on her ability too. That prospect made Karlie equally excited. What would be better yet though is if it somehow involved both of them. [i]If I could grab the flag it would be awfully hard to stop me...[/i] Maybe rather than charging there she would on the return trip.

[u]Vespera Spindel[/u]

As she felt the vibrations from footsteps getting closer Vespera's lip curled. Not only had the new comer accepted her invitation, the game of capture the flag was turning out to be a bigger spectacle than she had anticipated. Valjean was doing his thing, nothing to see there. The one eyed chick from earlier was getting it on with flashlight girl using bright red lasers. If their displays of light were used to show affection she'd say they were quite intimate. Chihuahua was running over to them. Nothing significance from her observations. Yet. She gnashed the inner workings of her mouth in an inhuman fashion, but ceased once her company arrived. "Forgive me for not making proper introductions, I wanted to make viewing accommodations as soon as possible. I'm Vespera." She gave a few moments for the name to sink in, and so she could briefly turn her full attention to the proceedings bellow. Something littered the floor, but she couldn't tell what. [i]Two more bestial meta's. One looks to be aquatic, the other has a something growing out of it's back.[/i] Their threat levels would have to be accessed in person. Those who she knew well or weren't visibly displaying anything were paid little heed.

"That's good intuition. I have attended this academy for most my life. Certainly make's a good safe haven for those who can't fit in with society. Which is why I was surprised when Tetsuya left, even more so now that he's back." She wasn't going to ask directly, but she was very much interested in the reasoning behind his return. This morsel he'd brought with him made it all the intriguing to her. Of course she was going to treat her with respect, until there was reason to do otherwise. Many people automatically got off on the wrong foot with simply because of appearances. Considering that was not the case, in fact she deemed it quite bold her to have follow her into her makeshift lair. "And who might you be?" Vespera turned towards her as a courtesy, then she fixated her gaze once more on the playthings beneath.
