[/center][hr][hr]	[i]Did he have magic?[/i] He must have. Right? Why else would he be here at Strange Academy if he didn't have any magic? Was he supposed to know what kind it was? Connie with the red hair seemed really upset, maybe even scared. Maybe she didn't know what her magic was either. The thought that he wasn't alone in not knowing relaxed him slightly. Maybe that was part of this exercise - this Door 12 or whatever it was. Maybe they were going to figure out what kind of magic they had there? Oh! That must have been the mystery! A grin broke out on Jake's face. He was doing well in school!! This was incredible!! 

	He cocked his head as Connie went on about how shifting forms was how to be free. For a split second, his body felt clumsy and awkward, its controls something that he could barely understand. But the thought made his head ache, so he let it go, dismissing the uncanny sensation. [COLOR=9A5B8A]"Hi, Pedro!!!"[/color] Jake practically bounced. Pedro for short, Pedrito for long he noted. [COLOR=9A5B8A]"It's so cool that you all have multiple names!! How do you get them? Can I get one? My name's just Jake, I don't think I have any other names - unless you know if I do? Do I?"[/color] he then asked, looking at Pedrito with all the trust in the world. 

	However, at Barty's revelation Jake gasped. [COLOR=9A5B8A]"A curse! ... What's a curse? Is it cold?"[/color] Cold things were bad. Jake knew to avoid them. Were his eyes fresh? How did he know how old his eyes were? Did everyone else here have ancient eyes? He cocked his head in the other direction. [COLOR=9A5B8A]"What magic do you think you're going to get?"[/color] he then asked Connie, hoping to be friendly. He was so happy to have sisters!!!
