Katerina was deep into the information on the tablet, eyes wide and heart pounding in her chest as she read about the research that had led to the experiment that her apparent powers was a result of. It was truly remarkable and she found herself wondering if she would be allowed to partake in the actual research or if she would just be another student at this school. As she was halfway into finally reading about the school itself – wondering what this training that was continuously referred to meant – one of the flight attendants came to her side with a soft smile on her face. ”[color=f9ad81]Excuse me, miss,[/color]” she was soft-spoken, with a light tone to her voice, ”[color=f9ad81]Would you please come with me?[/color]” Katerina quirked one of her perfectly manicured brows at the timid woman, but gave no verbal response as she packed away the tablet into her purse. The flight attendant just stood by, looking a bit unnerved. Although the thought was only in her mind for a few seconds, Katerina had briefly wondered whether the woman really was this nervous, or if it was Katerina's own nerves that were rubbing off on the poor thing. How did her powers work? What could she do? Was she, like, an opposite empath? She gave a light shake of her head; this was not the time for that. ”[color=f9ad81]This way, miss,[/color]” the flight attendant said when Katerina rose from her seat, ”[color=f9ad81]Please, follow me.[/color]” And so she did. The woman led her through to the first class section and into the flight attendants quarters and while Katerina looked around a bit – something was off about this – the woman fiddled with something in one of the cabinets. “[color=a187be][i]Eto plokho[/i], (This is bad)[/color]“ Katerina muttered under her breath, feeling that queasy sensation in her stomach again. The woman let out a small giggle, ”[color=f9ad81]Not at all, miss,[/color]” she said, handing her a weird-looking backpack, [color=f9ad81]“We're just ready to disembark.[/color]” A few seconds of awkward silence passed before Katerina realized that she had been handed a [i]parachute[/i]. With eyes that size if saucers, Katerina began fervently shaking her head, repeating the word ”[color=a187be][i]net[/i], (No)[/color]” over and over again. She had the rational thought that maybe she was having a panic attack, but before it came that far, the co-pilot hurried in and began putting on a parachute of his own, which effectively distracted her enough to rattle her out of her train of thought. ”[color=f9ad81]Relax, miss,[/color]” the flight attendant said in a soft tone, ”[color=f9ad81]We'll be jumping with you and the tablet will give you instructions. You'll be fine.[/color]” Although she desperately wanted to wake up from this nightmare now, Katerina allowed the flight attendant and co-pilot to help her into the parachute. She was still breathing a bit too fast and she was a little light-headed from the hyperventilation. Suddenly, the door was thrown open and the sheer force of the wind caused Katerina to grab for the nearest object in order to not fall over. The nearest thing happened to be the co-pilot, who simply chuckled at her. ”[color=f9ad81]I'll jump first![/color]” the flight attendant yelled over the roar of the wind, ”[color=f9ad81]You follow me![/color]” she added, pointing to Katerina. And without further explanation, the woman jumped from the plane. Katerina immediately rushed forwards to see where she was and when she saw the woman diving into the unknown, she took a deep breath and followed. It felt like the wind had been sucked from her lungs and the wind whipped at her entire body. She felt instant regret and had to try her best to not literally piss herself with both the force of the wind on her entire front and the sheer terror she was feeling. [color=ed1c24]> You are doing well.[/color] Once the shock passed, Katerina recognized the voice in her mind as the one from her tablet. The flight attendant [i]had[/i] told her that the tablet would tell her what to do. [color=ed1c24]> Aim for this.[/color] Really, this was not the weirdest part of all this, so Katerina just followed the red triangle that somehow appeared in her very vision, as if she was a freaking robot. [color=ed1c24]> Deploy parachute. [/color] All right, Katerina thought, but how do I do that? Well, now that she really thought about it, she did know how. It was as if she had done it before. Without missing a beat, she did as instructed. The parachute opened up behind her, whipping up with a resounding ”whoosh” and for the brief moment where it was out, but not yet open, Katerina wondered if it even would. The harsh tug on her restraints answered the question and she was soaring gracefully in the sky. [color=ed1c24]> Now all you have to do is land. [/color] Great. Easy as pie, Katerina thought sarcastically. She managed to, rather ungracefully, tumble onto the ground, rolling around a few times and managing to get herself tangled in one of the lines that attached to the parachute. The flight attendant rushed over and helped her free. She was saying something, but Katerina could not hear. Her ears were ringing so bad. Her entire body felt like it was made from jelly and she really wanted a nap right about now. The look of the flight attendant's face let Katerina know that the woman was laughing as she pointed towards some metal stands with a banner that read ”Welcome Freshmen”. Katerina nodded her thanks and went there. It looked like something was about to begin. Her hearing returned just in time to hear the speech. The whole thing just left her with more questions that answers and as she wandered towards where the tablet had told her to go. She was deep in thought when she stood in front of the door and barely even knew the voice of the tablet from her own thoughts when the wall swallowed her shoes. The same was the case when she opened the door, using the insignia on her hat. As soon as she was in her pod, she looked around for a few moments before realizing that she was not alone. ”[color=a187be][i]Privet[/i], (Hello/Greetings)[/color]” she greeted with a tired smile.
