John raises an eyebrow as he asks, "Are you alright? This bench doesn't seem like the most comfortable place to sleep."

Devika shrugged lightly. "I... I'm okay. It's just... my powers are messing with me." An honest enough answer. She adjusted her lying down position into a seated one, to get a better look at John. "Nice of you to ask about my health." Her voice had a tinge of flatness to it. She was already starting to lock down.

Connor sighed. He really didn't like john. And it showed, because for some reason he just couldn't help but be like that. He grimaced.Connor went to his dorm with the papers first, looking at his clothes.Seriously, the only formal or fancy casual he had was a pair of black pants, a white shirt and a black jacket. So he dressed in that, running a comb through his hair.Five minutes was all it had taken. Six hours to go. He chuckled, and headed to the girls dorm with the papers, a lighter in hand as well. He knocked on kijani a door after figuring out which was hers, papers in hand.

Kijani threw open the door with a burst of girlish happiness. "Oh, Connor! Hi!" She grinned widely at him. "Isn't this whole dance thing a complete riot? I mean, after all this, they still treat this like a normal school!" She chuckled, obviously in high spirits. "...what's up with the lighter? You don't smoke, do you?"

Give Kijani an excuse to dress up and she will take it.

Kijani stared at herself in front of the mirror, turning this way and that. She was wearing a black and gold dress that hugged her body before flaring at the end. It accented her curves, showing her a body shape she hadn't had at the beginning of the year. A gold and diamond clip accented her elegant dreadlocked bun, and she was even wearing gold shoes. Her diamonds and bracelet matched, and frankly, she looked good. She'd dusted her eyelids with very faint gold dust eyeshadow, and was wearing minimal lipstick. She frowned, looking herself over. "What's missing?" She wanted to show off, and wanted to look perfect.

Devika opened her eyes as someone coughed above her. She found herself looking at a very tall, very muscular young man. "...can I help you?" Her eyebrows arched and she tipped her glasses down in a questioning way.

Devika: Great, now the teenagers are pitying me. *groan*

Who wants to drag Devika out dancing?!

Kijani was lounging in her dorm after class, her mind spinning. So, a dance. After all their powers, they really were expected just to be teenagers? She sighed. While she did love to dance, she wasn't sure getting all the students in one place was a good idea... "Well, at least I have an excuse to dress up." That did make her smile a bit. She went to her closet and looked through her best clothes.

Devika didn't do much the second day. She stuck to herself and didn't talk to anyone, but she could hear the whispers. The woman who'd made the teacher cry... By the time the dance was announced, she was completely withdrawn. Dancing seemed like a bad idea. All those people, all those emotions. Maybe she should stay away. She crashed on a bench and stared up at the sky.

Connor glared after john, running his fingers through his hair. He looked down, completely embarrassed now, his comfort gone. He looked up briefly when Kijani said his name. "Yeah?" He said trying not get back his comfort, and failing.

Kijani scooted over to him, and before she could really think about it, gave him a light kiss on the cheek. "...You can tell him you got laid if it'll put that asshole in his place." There was a trace of wickedness in her smile, that faded into pure nervousness. "I mean, that's not why I did that. I mean, I... I did that because..." She paused and realized she didn't even know. "...uh... well, damn." She sidled away in silence, going back to her food.

Wow, this guy's impressive. *eyeroll* Is there even a Hades in Marvel/DC lore?

Can you stop please? Thanks.... This was just thrown at me....

Stop what? o.o I'm not saying you're a jerk, I'm saying your character's a jerk.

You =/= Ryan

Kijani laughed. "You'd be amazing too, if you grew up here. New York has a way of maturing you." She was about to teach him, when John entered. Her golden eyes narrowed, and her fingers twitched in a way that would have set the paper in the room curling up around her. But since her powers were restricted, nothing happened at all. She was all but growling at his teasing, and only relaxed after he left. She looked toward Connor, the awkwardness settling around her. "...hey, Connor?"

Devika walked, walking around campus. Eventually she came to a bench near the dorms and settled on it, sighing. Had she made the right choice? Was she really going to be able to connect to these hero children? Especially if it meant she was expected to shove herself into other people's business. It wasn't right. Just because they were powerful didn't mean they were better.
