"Ah, right." Nick said, remembering what Lucas asked him. "Hmm..." Nick ate another spoonful of cornflakes as he thought about it. Why had he come here in the first place? If he was honest with himself, he'd say that he didn't to die. It wasn't a bad thing, but it was kind of selfish, so Nick was somewhat reluctant to say it. But the reason he didn't want to die was partly because he didn't want to pull anyone into it. According to his parents, people who awoke strange powers had been dying in freak accidents, along with their families. House fires, car crashes, that sort of thing. Nick was reluctant to leave, because he didn't want to leave his world behind based on rumours, but he saw the worry in his parent's eyes. They didn't want anything to happen to him. Nick decided to leave, because even if he wasn't there, they could at least take solace that he was still alive. Ultimately, the reason he came to Riverwood was to live, but he didn't know what to do after that. What would he do? Would he spend his entire life in Riverwood? "Well..." Nick said slowly. "I just came here because my parents heard that I might get killed if I stayed." He decided that there wasn't anything wrong with saying that, because if the rumours were true, then there would be many in Riverwood with the same reason. But he had to confirm something. "Are the rumours true?" Nick asked. "That the government comes in to kill people like us?"

Pretty much everyone's waiting on steel. No idea where he is.

Nick watched the events unfold with some amount of incredulity, as another boy arrived with a vengeance, screaming about missing doughnuts. Nick stared on quizzically as Lucas tried finding the doughnuts and doughnut boy summoned a ball of lightning and then promptly passed out. Nick didn't know what was stranger, the lightning or the fact that everyone was used to it. The bacon girl had come back, and it turned out that she had wings. It would explain the other dragon like qualities (her teeth and claws) and it was certainly impressive, but Nick wondered about the lightning guy passing out. He took a quick look around and noticed that no one in the kitchen was really fazed. Lucas, the dragon girl, even Pam. They didn't really react. Perhaps this was something he'd have to get used to. "Um..." Nick said tentatively. "Does he... do that often?"

Oh, that's me... well, I won't be on for a few hours, but I'll try to do this

Riverwood Academy

Nick began listening as the bear boy took off his hat and gloves, but Nick didn't reveal that he already knew what was under them. First impressions count for a lot, after all, and ignoring their presence gave off a bad one, without adding the fact that he can see through walls and stuff. He didn't really want to be called a creepy guy, but if they knew, he wouldn't blame them for thinking that. As Nick listened to the bear-boy's speech, he poured milk onto his cornflakes, and then spread some sugar onto it. Still attentive, he started taking spoonfuls of cornflakes while listening to the boy's story. Nick began to think. The bear boy had mentioned some stuff that made think about people like Nick. And Pam, the bear boy, and the girl eating bacon. He'd only arrived at Riverwood 2 days ago, but he'd met a lot of different people of different stages of life, as well as some 'weird' stuff he'd never known. When Nick awakened his 'power', he thought that it was a good thing. It was useful, at the very least, to navigate his life without trouble. But on arriving at the academy, he met more people who were 'different'. It was clear that their new 'powers' were a gift to some, and to others like the bear boy, they were a curse. Nick kind of knew what bear boy went through, though. Nick's powers, while useful, were strange nonetheless, and if anythinng, people talked to him a little less when he had them. He noticed that, in the brief period he'd had them. He noticed that people feared strange things. It must've been a lot worse for people with... physical manifestations, such as the bear handed boy who'd been talking to Nick and Pam. Nick ate another spoonful of cornflakes as the bear boy finished. He crunched thoughtfully in the silence that followed, thinking of what to say. "You know, I get where you're coming from." Nick said tentatively. "You've probably heard it a lot, and I probably don't really know where you're coming from, but I think I get it a little bit." Yes, he did understand. One of the things he'd taken for granted when he had his sight was companionship. He thought that his life would always be the same, and when the accident happened, suddenly things weren't. "The isolation was bad, and the silence almost killed me." Nick said contemplatively. "But hey, I'm not afraid of me. And there are good people here." That statement was aimed at Pam, whether she noticed or not. She was his first friend in Riverwood so far, and he was glad to have her around. He liked friends, he liked companionship. One thing that people take for granted was the light and the noise. With the light gone, the noise stopped, and Nick's world had been painfully empty. Maybe he would find something to fill the gaps here in Riverwood, one step at a time. "With that in mind, let's be friends!" Nick said suddenly, grinning. "My name's Nick. What's yours?"

Nick watched the small girl clamp her hands over her mouth and run outside, quickly disappearing out of his range. He doubted she was doing it on purpose, and he was sure she had her reasons, but Nick was saddened that she didn't want the toast. He was genuinely sorry for ignoring her, and it appeared that his feelings didn't really go through. Regardless of that, Nick stared out in the direction she left, wondering what happened. "I've never seen such an adverse reaction to toast." Nick said, curious. He soon realised the stupidity of his statement, laughed to himself a little and put the plate down, toast and all. He grabbed the milk and started pouring it out, but he felt like he was forgetting something again. The 'something' in question placed a jar of something in front of nick and he remembered what it was. There were 2 people in the kitchen before him and Pam. One was the girl cooking bacon, the other had bear-like features. A little weird, but he'd have to get used to it. "Ah, sorry." Nick said, grabbing the jar. With a little effort, the lid popped off of the jar and Nick got a wiff of the contents. Peanut butter? He thought. "Were you here for breakfast?" Nick asked, offering the jar to the bear-handed boy.

<Snipped quote by Lord Santa> Oh! Well yes, that would be the idea. At the moment I imagine they'd probably eventually end up joining either the heroes, the reformists, or both, but it would depend a fair bit on how things end up going for them in the RP. Especially since they wouldn't be used to the idea of being a meta themselves, yet.

@Bastion

Well, dunno if any major incidents are coming up soon, though, but it's likely that it will. Thing is, before that happens, what would they do?
