Apr 02 14:58:15 <SarahH>	Saturday morning...Most people would be sleeping in and enjoying their weekend. Not Sam. No...She was up, had been up with the sun and done her early morning work out. Now she sat in the gazebo, http://www.stanleyharp.on.ca/babyjane.html in her lap as she practices on it. The 6' tall, alabaster skinned, ebony haired beatuy with the ruby in the middle of her forehead stood out even more than normal as she played: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhmDHTn83Rw with deft ability.
Apr 02 15:03:07 <Knave>	Callum was dressed for comfort as he wandered up to the gazebo - a plain tee and sweatpants. He'd decided to keep up his morning jogging routine through the weekend, and thought he might as well swing by the gazebo in case anything interesting happened, as usual. Hearing the sweet melody, he walked up and leaned his elbows on the fence, watching the girl playing serenely.
Apr 02 15:09:18 <SarahH>	Sam was, alomst the perfect image of a stereotype. The only thing the sngelic faced girl was missing were clouds and wings. She seems deeply focused on the song until it's finished. Then she turns shockingly Sapphire eyes to Callum...Had she heard him approach? WHo knew...But her eyes focuse on him none the less and she offers a tiny nod. "Mornin'."The voice that comes out of her is soft, smooth as silk, and richly accented with a Highland brogue, the tones clearly alot in nature.
Apr 02 15:11:24 <Knave>	"Morning." Callum maintains an easy smile, straightening up a little, "That was very nice, miss."
Apr 02 15:12:06 <SarahH>	(just noticed...that should read Alto...carry on)
Apr 02 15:15:42 <SarahH>	"Thank you." She looks at him curiously, as if taking stock of the boy before her. For a 14 year old she had eyes that were well beyond her yeas as far as wisdom went as she looked at him, trying to gague the new face before speaking again. "Have to practice or I'll lose the skill." She spoke simply, tone brutally honest yet friendly, welcoming even. She was dressed, now that he was closer, in a long sleeved white blouse, and knee length British public school plaid skirt. "Out for a run?"
Apr 02 15:18:51 <Knave>	"Yup. Not much else to keep me busy here." Callum says, walking around to the mouth of the gazebo and swinging around a post into it, "Not yet, at least. A friend of mine is talking about getting a baseball club together." He shrugs one of his huge shoulders, "What about you? You always spend your saturday mornings practising the harp?"
Apr 02 15:21:55 <SarahH>	Sam actually smiled, pushing a wavy lock of hair behind her ear to get it out of her peripheral vision. "I have a routines, yeah...I'm up with the sun, I workout, I practice at least three hours, then the day is mine. She smiled at him eyes rgiving an impish twinkle briefly and swirling slightly away from sapphire towards violet. "I'm Sam, by the way...WHo're you?'\"
Apr 02 15:23:38 <Knave>	"Callum." He steps closer and offers his right hand to shake with a broad, open smile.
Apr 02 15:29:07 <SarahH>	She offers him her own right hand...Sort of...She actually grabs his right forearm and holds it firmly. Her grip is surprisingly strong given her general appearance and he can tell she uses her hands for...something. "Nice to meet you."
Apr 02 15:31:47 <Knave>	"You too, miss." Callum says, offering no comment on Sam's curious lack of aim. After she lets go, he sits down on an adjacent bench, "Have you been at Sunnybrook long?" Callum asks levelly.
Apr 02 15:34:28 <SarahH>	"Just Sam is fine...And...A week as of Friday...Last transfer. You?"
Apr 02 15:35:51 <Knave>	"About the same, actually." Callum nods, "How're you finding it here?"
Apr 02 15:36:21 <SarahH>	"I like it so far...You?"
Apr 02 15:37:50 <Knave>	"It has its ups and downs." Callum's mouth tweaks up at the corner, "The students are nice, by and large. Class is okay."
Apr 02 15:39:39 <SarahH>	Sam regarded him curiously a moment. "Got some horrid teachers, did you?"
Apr 02 15:42:28 <Knave>	"Not exactly." Callum chuckles, "More like... the administration." Callum explains evenly. /More like handlers./
Apr 02 15:45:51 <SarahH>	"They haven't really bothered with me much." She looked at him oddly. "Hell I got here, got my room and they've pretty much ignored me since then." She offers a small smile, those eyes of hers still a hypnotic swirl of blue-violet.
Apr 02 15:49:56 <Knave>	"You ought to hope it stays that way." Callum says, leaning forward on his knees and speaking quite seriously, "It's better to just go to class, make friends, and pretend this is a normal school."
Apr 02 15:53:38 <SarahH>	"Just feels like a waste, is all...I'm sitting here with abilities and not using them...Not really." She looks at him. "But you sound like you're unhappy...Want to talk about it?"
Apr 02 15:55:01 <Knave>	"I'm fine." Callum shakes his head slowly, "Don't worry about it." He raises his head, in curiosity, "What kind of abilities, if you don't mind me asking?"
Apr 02 15:55:52 <SarahH>	"Liar, but I'll let it slide this once." She smiled a bit. "I can show you, if you like?"
Apr 02 15:57:28 <Knave>	Callum smiled only a little uncertainly. "Sure."
Apr 02 16:00:48 <SarahH>	Sam holds out her hand. "Give me your hand...I promise I won't hurt you." Her voice is incredibly calming and gentle and full of honesty.
Apr 02 16:01:53 <Knave>	Callum reached out his hand, palm up, "I trust you."
Apr 02 16:03:59 <SarahH>	Sam places both her hands around his and closes her eyes softly. Her hands glow and she speaks in a ghostly voice. "Pick a spot, anywhere on you...preferrably one you can see."
Apr 02 16:05:39 <Knave>	"Uh..." Worry sneaks into Callum's voice and cocks his head to one side, "Why, exactly?"
Apr 02 16:09:34 <SarahH>	"You said you trusted me." She smirks and the power picks FOR her when he can't decide. A gem, much like hers only Emerald green, sparkles to life on his forehead. He would feel nothing...not physicall...what happens next is just..well kind of cool. ~This is the coolest one, I think...Mostly because it means entirely silent conversations...Never be bored again...For the next hour,
Apr 02 16:09:35 <SarahH>	anyways.~ Her voice sounds ecatly the same only...He didn't hear it with his ears it was in his head!
Apr 02 16:11:54 <Knave>	Callum jolts back at the voice in his head, withdrawing his hand. He breathes out heavily, then says, "Yeah, I think that's the kind of thing you ought to warn people about before you do it." He runs a hand through his short blond hair, leaning his elbow on his leg.
Apr 02 16:12:50 <SarahH>	She pulls a compact out of the hidden pocket of her skirt and opens it, letting hims see the result. She was right...it didn't hurt it was cool to the touch if anything. "You did ask me...And that;s not all I can do."
Apr 02 16:13:41 <Knave>	Callum furrows his brow and looks with slight panic at the gem on his forehead, "Uh huh, guess I did. You said this goes away in an hour, right?"
Apr 02 16:15:25 <SarahH>	Sam nodded. "Won't even know it was there." She smiled a bit, summoning a mote of flame into her finger playing with it a moment before it vanishes again. "You're colour is a surprise...Everyone is different...But you're my first emerald."
Apr 02 16:17:28 <Knave>	"Huh. I'm... honored, I guess." Callum says, pleasantly bemused. He touches at the gem with his fingertips tentatively.
Apr 02 16:21:00 <SarahH>	"Fair warning...this next one...Super creepy." Sam closed her eyes and her entire aspect glows...Bright enough to temporarily blind him...When is stops she now looks like: http://www.caferacer.net/forum/attachments/general/11163d1419050609-what-stuff-s-lousy-functionally-still-seems-cool-you-00-sexy-redhead-girls1.jpg even the gem is gone. Her clothes have not changed.
Apr 02 16:22:09 <Knave>	Callum blinks, clears his throat. "Huh." Callum's gaze wanders off to the right, self-consciously, "I wouldn't call it creepy."
Apr 02 16:25:12 <SarahH>	"I can do any face I've seen..." She closes her eys and returns to normal with less glow and more speed. "There are 2 others...One I daren't do unless I have to..The other...Requires more space."
Apr 02 16:26:19 <Knave>	"Huh." Callum says again. He decides not to probe those depths, instead saying, "Those are certainly some mighty impressive abilities."
Apr 02 16:28:05 <SarahH>	"I can summon my sword to my hand..Hence the more space...And I can heal myself...hence the only if necessary...And there are these." She moves...A lot...and a pair of 12' span iridescent monarch butterfly shaped wings unfold from her back and rest at her sides with a soft fluttering sound.
Apr 02 16:28:54 <Knave>	"Wow. Can you actually fly with those?" Callum asks dubiously, but not without some excitement.
Apr 02 16:29:59 <SarahH>	Sam nods. "I can." The answer was simply given and 100% honest
Apr 02 16:31:31 <Knave>	"I'd like to see that sometime." Callum said with mild awe, sitting back in his seat.
Apr 02 16:34:24 <SarahH>	Sam nodded "Next time I fly...Sure...I usually do it at night when no one is watching...It's...Some people get a little freaked out."
Apr 02 16:35:37 <Knave>	"At this school?" Callum says in mild disbelief, "You're not even the first person I've met with wings."
Apr 02 16:36:05 <SarahH>	"Not here...Where I came from."
Apr 02 16:36:32 <Knave>	"Ah. That makes more sense." Callum nods, "Where is that, by the by?"
Apr 02 16:38:27 <SarahH>	"Edinburgh by way of Glenfinnan."
Apr 02 16:38:59 <Knave>	Callum chuckles, "I've heard of one of those."
Apr 02 16:39:50 <SarahH>	"I'm guessing the first, aye?" She laughed and those eyes of hers wamr a bit more towards violet...literally the colour just changed a bit
Apr 02 16:40:58 <Knave>	"Yeah." Callum nods with a smile, "I'm not so great with general knowledge."
Apr 02 16:41:34 <SarahH>	Glenfinnan isn't exactly big, Callum...I'm not offended.
Apr 02 16:41:51 <SarahH>	Glenfinnan isn't exactly big, Callum...I'm not offended." (totally derp on quote marks)
Apr 02 16:44:35 <Knave>	"Fair enough." Callum laces his hands behind his head.
Apr 02 16:45:03 <SarahH>	And you? From whence do ye hail?"
Apr 02 16:45:45 <Knave>	"Kansas, born and raised." Callums says proudly, a wide smile on his face.
Apr 02 16:46:30 <SarahH>	"Is it nice there?"
Apr 02 16:47:40 <Knave>	"Yeah. Really nice." Callum says, "I liked it, anyway."
Apr 02 16:48:53 <SarahH>	Sam nods and thinks. "So...May I ask what you can do, then?"
Apr 02 16:51:48 <Knave>	"Not much useful," Callum says, rubbing the back of his neck, "I can lift heavy stuff and take a hit pretty good."
Apr 02 16:56:28 *	Sarah-food is now known as SarahH
Apr 02 16:57:25 <SarahH>	That's still useful, you know." Sam spoke gently, her tone encouraging.
Apr 02 16:58:04 <Knave>	"Yeah, I know. It's just nothing spectacular, is all." Callum says evenly, "Not that I really mind."
Apr 02 16:58:46 <SarahH>	"Yeah it means you don't have to take extra precautions just to go out in public, for one."
Apr 02 17:01:28 <Knave>	"Yup." Callum nods, "That's a plus." His voice grows concerned, "Is that a problem for you?"
Apr 02 17:03:49 <SarahH>	My wings hide easily and hats exist...So not really?" She smiled a bit. "The hard part is I'm -tall- for my age."
Apr 02 17:05:08 <Knave>	"What so hard about that?" Callum asks with a laugh.
Apr 02 17:08:48 <SarahH>	"I'm 6'...Know any girls who are that tall...Let alone only 14?" She grins impishly at him
Apr 02 17:10:34 <Knave>	"Still, it's not exactly a problem." Callum says, "There's nothing wrong with a girl being tall."
Apr 02 17:21:46 <SarahH>	Sam laughed softly. "You think so...really?"
Apr 02 17:22:43 <Knave>	"Yeah," Callum said with quiet conviction, "Of course. We can't help how we're made, and it'd be a strange world if we were all the same." The way he says it makes it clear it's a quote he brings out a lot.
Apr 02 17:25:06 <SarahH>	Sam nodded. "Puzzle pieces...Each one of us is a cut differently but eventually we all fit together...I get it."
Apr 02 17:26:08 <Knave>	"That's a nice way of putting it." Callum smiles.
Apr 02 17:32:23 <SarahH>	Sam smiles. "Thank you."
Apr 02 17:33:58 <WyrmKnave>	"I don't have much of a way with words myself, but I know it when I see it." Callum smiles back, getting up, "I should probably get on with my jog, and leave you to your practise. It was nice meeting you, Sam."
Apr 02 17:36:04 <SarahH>	"Same...I'll...See you around?" She smiled and starts back...playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U7TDOtfxts with a cheeky grin as he heads off...Okay there was a sense of humor on the girl, clearly.
