[color=lime][i]Why in the hell did I not set an alarm?[/i][/color] He supposed it didn’t matter. He wouldn’t have heard the alarm anyways, he had a tendency to become so enraptured by whatever he was doing that he blind to his surroundings. And time, apparently. [color=lime][i]He gave me superpowers and I can’t be bothered to show up on on time?[/i][/color] Apparently not. He sprinted through the back roads and alleys, trying to use the shortest route to the Doctor’s. He found himself moving by instinct, as though he had trampled this route a thousand times. He was still new to the town, new to Straider. He had perused a map of the town, and he was shocked to realize he must have subconsciously memorized the map. He had certainly never been the type to memorize something on his first time looking at it. He wondered if this was because of Rohrbach’s pill. Eventually, he broke onto a main street to find a student he recognized as one of Rohrbach’s other chosen students. He saw him conjure up a skateboard and felt a pang of jealousy. [color=lime][i]Why does he get the cool ability?[/i][/color] Then he remembered. He saw him do it, he could use his cool ability too, if only for a time. He ran back over what he had seen in his head, the way the boy had done it. He felt his mind analyse the memory at a blinding pace and, before he knew it, he could conjure. He rode his artificial board about twenty feet behind the boy, whose name he remembered to be Ambrose. His board broke apart before Ambrose’s did, but he was expecting that, with his ability being a facade of the real thing. He leapt off the board and sprinted the few remaining yards. He stepped into the building and was greeted by a god-awful smell. He began to feel dizzy, and dodged outside and buckled to his knees. Then, he retched. He had never before regretted eating something as much as he did then. [color=lime]”I’m fine.”[/color] He called weakly to those inside the building. [color=lime][i]Yeah, just fine.[/i][/color]
