Sep 10 20:08:37 <Knave>	In the corridors of San Fran Hall, Austin whistles tunelessly as he goes about his work – he's carrying a stack of A4, and every half dozen paces he stops and takes the top sheet off the stack and tapes it to the wall.
Sep 10 20:10:13 <Knave>	The sheets - all hand-written - vary in exact content, but most bare a shoddy self-portrait of Austin smiling, and they all command "Vote Austin for San Fran Prefect"
Sep 10 20:13:42 <Complete_Zero>	Jonathan strolls down the hall, just getting done with his last class. He's wearing 19th century style clothing, making him look like he should run a general store in the old west. In his vest pocket hangs a gold chain over the lip, it beats against his vest as he walks along. He's a slim boy with an underwhelming stature. He stands around 6'2 and it appears
Sep 10 20:13:43 <Complete_Zero>	as if something is trailing off of him as he walks... is that /mist/? Jonathan notices Austin and stops about ten feet away from him. "What's that?" He looks at the paper taped to the wall. "Vote Austin?"
Sep 10 20:16:53 <Knave>	With a rustling of papers as Austin dumps the stack, the Sultan of Slide glides across the floor and puts an arm around Jonathan, "That's right, amigo, vote Austin! Because with Austin," Austin pats Jonathan's chest to stick a badge - in fact, a scrap of paper with a bit of tape - reading 'Vote Austin!' to his jacket, "Everything runs smooth!"
Sep 10 20:22:04 <Complete_Zero>	"Is that right, friend? Well, I'll have to meet this Austin first before I vote for him." He gently slides away from his arm.
Sep 10 20:23:24 <Knave>	Austin rolls with Jon's movement, doing a half-spin across the floor and ending up a couple feet away, facing him, hand extended, "Austin Silver, pleased to meetcha." He mugs, his grinning face mirroring the doodle on the poster beside his head
Sep 10 20:26:26 <Complete_Zero>	Uh... huh. This guy seems too smooth for his own good. "Jonathan Aeris. But you can call me Jon, if it's easier. The feeling is mutual." He takes his hand to shake it. Jon's hand is a little wet.
Sep 10 20:29:32 <Knave>	As he takes Jon's hand, Austin drops the act and his whole body relaxes from the rakish leaning and cocked posture he'd been assuming, and his smile becomes more relaxed and genuine, but no less broad. "Good name. Good handshake." Austin pulls his hand back and doesn't wipe it off on his jacket, because he's ever so slightly too polite for that, "Anything I can do for you, Jonny?"
Sep 10 20:33:11 <Complete_Zero>	"If you don't mind, I'd rather you don't call me Jonny. And uh.. no, not really." He pulls on that gold chain hanging out of his pocket and pulls out an ornate pocketwatch. He clicks the top and it opens up. Then, he flips the cover back down and stuffs the timepiece back into his pocket. "Just getting used to the school. I feel like I can get lost so easily
Sep 10 20:33:11 <Complete_Zero>	in these maze-like halls. I'm very new. Came in just yesterday."
Sep 10 20:34:49 <Knave>	"I've not been around much longer, you get used to it." Austin reflected on that for a moment. It /was/ strange how quickly weird became normal, "If you don't mind me asking, Jon, what're you in for? Time traveller? Laser eyes? Secretly a dragon?"

Sep 10 20:37:08 <Complete_Zero>	"Oh, I uh, I can turn into mist. I can create it too." He waves his hand in the air to demonstrate. A wispy cloud of fog trails off of his waving arm. He drops his arm, mist continues to trail off of it. "What about you, Austin?"
Sep 10 20:39:34 <Knave>	"Friction control." Austin steps to one side, then pushes off ever-so-lightly with his right foot. "Making things slide. Sliding around. Keeping things from sliding. That kind of thing." He says as he slides across the floor at a snail's pace from Jon's left to his right, both feet planted on the floor and his body in a relaxed, still pose.
Sep 10 20:40:15 <Complete_Zero>	"That's uh... cool. I suppose."
Sep 10 20:41:14 <Complete_Zero>	"Lately, I have found out that I can enter someone's body and control them. It's... weird. Do you want me to demonstrate? The mist thing, not the body thing..."
Sep 10 20:41:44 <Knave>	"Sure," Austin says, halting in place and rubbing the back of his neck, "Not in a rush to see the possession."
Sep 10 20:47:19 <Complete_Zero>	Jonathan nods and kinda looks around. "Well, uh. Hopefully it works..." He clenches his fist and shuts his eyes. A transparent veil of mist begins to project from his body and swirl around him. It starts to condense and become more opaque before it envelops him entirely. Soon, it becomes transparent again and where Jonathan was standing, now floats a cloud
Sep 10 20:47:19 <Complete_Zero>	of swirling mist. An incorporeal, echoing, distant-sounding voice seems to come from it. It sounds like Jonathan's voice. "Well... would you look at that? It's not always from reaction." The mist cloud floats around Austin. It doesn't appear to move very fast.
Sep 10 20:48:46 <Knave>	"Woah." Austin observes, ever the poet, "You could, like, totally ninja your way into and out of places with that."

Sep 10 20:54:10 <Knave>	"I told you, man," Austin smiles his huge, jackass smile, "Things always go smooth around me."
Sep 10 20:55:37 <Complete_Zero>	"You..." Jonathan covers his face with his hand. "You jus- wow.... Now /that/ was smooth." He laughs a bit. "Anyway, I plan on practicing. I wonder what other kinds of things I can do with it."
Sep 10 20:58:21 <Knave>	"Honestly, aside from sneaking, I got nothing. Maybe if you could do it real quick you could, like, use it to dodge stuff." Austin strokes his chin as he thinks, "How do you feel about the name Vapor?"
Sep 10 20:59:15 <Complete_Zero>	"Vapor? Why does everyone want to give me a name?" He looks at him questioningly.

Sep 10 21:03:46 <Complete_Zero>	"Well, uh. Okay." He shrugs as well. He doesn't really mind codenames. Now that he's thinking about it, Madeline also had a name for him, but she didn't tell. He might try and find her later. "So, what's this thing you want me to vote for?"

Sep 10 21:04:50 <Knave>	"Oh, you didn't see the announcement on the notice board? It's for dorm prefect. Just a little responsibility, it involves representing the dorm to the staff and stuff." Austin gives an encouraging smile.
Sep 10 21:06:50 <Complete_Zero>	"Ah. Well, I'll want to meet everyone who's participating before I uh.. vote." He takes a clance at the poster, then out of the blue starts thinking of nicknames again. "Hey, you know what? I have a nickname for /you/." He smiles as he says it over in his mind. "What do you think about Quicksilver?"
Sep 10 21:08:29 <Knave>	Austin seems somewhat struck by the thought. "Quicksilver..." He says aloud, rolling it over his tongue, "It hadn't occurred to me. I like it." He pulls a scrap of paper - evidently he has more "vote Austin" badges prepared - out of his pocket and scribbles the name on the back.

Sep 10 21:11:12 <Knave>	Austin smacks himself on the forehead and then announces, like Archimedes leaping from his bath, "MY NAME IS SILVER! That's brilliant!"
Sep 10 21:12:26 <Complete_Zero>	Jonathan bursts out laughing. "Bahahah! You /just/ figured that out, huh?" He holds his belly as mist starts swirling around him.
Sep 10 21:13:39 <Knave>	"I can build up a gradual speed, but I'm pretty slow." Austin jokes, chuckling at his own idiocy.
Sep 10 21:14:43 <Complete_Zero>	"Oh, that's rich, man." He pats him on the shoulder. It leaves his shoulder with little spots of wetness. "Well, I'm going to get a bite, see you later?"
Sep 10 21:15:40 <Knave>	"Catch you later, Jon." Austin smiles warmly and throws up two fingers in a peace sign.
Sep 10 21:16:19 <Complete_Zero>	Jon continues down the hall, the swirling mist stops and now trail behind him as he walks along.
Sep 10 21:18:27 <Knave>	Austin picks up the stack of posters he'd left. There were still plenty and San Francisco Hall was all but wallpapered. As he pondered what to do about this predicament, it occurred to him that there was plenty wallspace in the library, and people inclined to read. With a determined grin, he sets off across the courtyard.
