"[color=c4df9b]Oh shit, I can finally live my dream of becoming The Crow.[/color]"

It was hard to take this seriously, [i]come on[/i], Abstractions and guardians? [i]Give him a break.[/i] He wasn't denying that this shit was weird and that weird shit usually had a deeper meaning behind it but this was starting to feel more and more like a bad joke. Not only was the journal explaining everything [i]very conveniently[/i] but their courteous host had dodged a few questions in its presentation. Also, he couldn't help but find it mildly insulting. 

[i]The powers reflected their users? What is that supposed to mean?[/i]
Was it pure [i]irony[/i] that had made him into a shadow-bearer? It would make some kind of hilarious sense that the loser goth kid had developed shadow based abilities, it would be [i]too fucking funny[/i]. Of course he'd end up with something like that, something quaint and unintimidating. Something so incredibly useless that it was almost not even worth having a power. [i]And what did the other kids have? How soon would it be before he found out?[/i]

His good mood from this morning had quickly diminished and now he just wanted to leave. He wanted to get away from these people, he wanted to get the hell out of this room. They were all so [i]tedious and annoying[/i], he had thought he was pretentious and annoying but [i]God, these people were worse![/i] He was starting to remember why he was better off when he just didn't say anything to anyone. 

When Penny had started to shoot off at the mouth, he could feel his patience wearing down to a thread. He knew that she was passionate, it was her nature to be unflinching about her opinions but it was also her nature to be a [i]huge asshole[/i]. Not only was she displaying that now, she was practically making it the center of the attention of the room. The things she was hurling at Claire were things that people shouldn't say in polite company.

Some big guy that he'd never seen before spoke up, mentioning something about guns. "[color=c4df9b]Sorry, I had to leave my shotgun at home before getting a dorm here.[/color]"

Then the foreign girl spoke up again, her voice coming out with concentrated fury. He could practically see her shaking and it made him want to move back a little more, if some kind of fist fight broke out then he wanted to take his ass out of here. He was already contemplating it. He would just have to gather Rita and go, if she'd even [i]want[/i] to leave with him. For all he knew, she wasn't half as annoyed with this mad house as he was. 

"[color=c4df9b][i]Rita,[/i][/color]" he said in an undertone, "[color=c4df9b][i]Can we leave?[/i][/color]"

It made him kind of sound like a kid who was getting tired of sitting in a restaurant. He was kind of feeling like one.

Aliana was getting sick to her stomach, she didn't support Penny's onslaught of insults to Claire but she didn't support Claire's reluctance to help out either. She didn't know why Britney had thought this would work, there were too many deep grudges to just be ignored. They were all destined to always be at each other's throats. There were people here that she would rather die than work with but. . . Britney was speaking from the heart. Whatever this was, she really believed it. 

She guessed that she believed it too.
Who better than to make things disappear than a girl who spoke about nothing deeper than surface level? She was hiding people and things just as much as she was hiding her problems. Sweet, sweet irony. She wasn't angry with Penny for being angry, she didn't want her to continue acting so nasty though and just as she opened her mouth, the foreign girl cut her off. She was demanding Penny to leave.

Aliana glanced to her friend worriedly, wondering how she might react.
