The sheer variety and intensity, the explosions of color and light, shook [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/75166-alma-mater-maximus/char#post-2323135]Timothy[/url], and his eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. Trees that reached for the stars continued to grow to his left, and students that glided on magnificent angel wings described loops and arcs in the air to his right. He wasn't sure what facial expression to take, such was his incredulity, and the newness and intensity of what went before his eyes filled him with both excitement and fear.

"So this," he spread his arms out, as if to take the whole spectacle in their grasp and compress it into something more manageable, "is what I've been missing out on?"

"I told you, there's no sense in being a loner," a smug Aiden grinned. "Always holed up in your room. Why, man?"

"Well," Timothy still appeared to be dazzled, and didn't look back into his acquaintance's eyes. "The voice in my head doesn't want me here."

"Voice in your head? Does that mean you're a medium? You've haven't shown me your power yet."

Timothy mentally cursed himself for letting the hint roll off his tongue. Regaining his focus, he returned Aiden's gaze, wondering whether or not to dismiss him with another but purposeful and playful peek into his powers, but ultimately deciding against it. So it took him a moment to speak: "You'll see it when the time comes."

Aiden began to protest, but he cut him off. "Anyway," Timothy pointed at a healthy beast furred in immaculate white as he stepped towards it. "I don't think I've ever ridden a unicorn before!"
