Rebecca falls in line beside Mike as he joins her, the ruckus from earlier having died down. She chuckles a little as she remembers the conga-dancing robots. "Definitely makes a first impression." Her hands are in her pockets again, taking up as little space as possible as they walk. She's more relaxed now that there are fewer people around, and Mike not acting like a pompous ass earlier was a big plus.

Far be it from him to go invading her space for no reason. "Yeah, not really what I expected. Though it was kind of nice to see so many people willing to jump in. Makes me feel better about working with these people. Ya know?" Back to Top   Mike Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

She's well covered, sure, but accidents happen and she doesn't know Mike all that well. Better than anyone else for now, though. She nods at his comment, remembering how he went into the scuffle with the others. "Yeah. Most of them seem like they'll have our backs." A couple looked more like they were more likely to push you in front of the danger, but she held back that observation for now. "So what do you do, exactly?"

"Soul energy manipulation." He grinned. "Go ahead, take a swing. Just... don't hurt your hand." Back to Top   Mike Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

She tilts her head to the side, curious now. Not that she thinks he's lying, but the word "soul" caught her attention. That coudl be really good or really dangerous. She lets him get his glow on before nodding, a hint of a smile showing as she removes her gloved hands from her pockets. She rotates her shoulders, letting the bones pop and msucles stretch before taking a punch at his upper left arm.

It was like punching a tree. "Built in armor for one. I'd show you the offense but I'm not really looking to hurt you." Back to Top   Mike Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

Rebecca shakes her hand as it stings with her grin still in place. She couldn't really say for certain what she expected of other metas, but it wasn't this. "Nice, and fair enough." She lets her hands slip back into their usual place with another nod. "I think we've had enough things busted up on the first day without adding me to the list."

He said as he let the glow fade away. "What about you? What's your gift?" Back to Top   Mike Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

"I don't know that I'd call it a gift." She shakes her head and nods in the direction of the door. "Let's go outside and I can show you."

"Alright." Lead the way! Back to Top   Mike Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

Once they're outside, Rebecca looks around the campus lawn, squinting against the sunlight until she finds what she's looking for. Walking over to the remains of a plant, she positions herself so that Mike can see what she's doing and peels off one of her gloves, just enough so that the base of her palm is exposed. With a quick, deft motion, she reaches out and snags a leaf, breaking it off from the plant so she doesn't kill it off entirely. She holds up her hand, letting him see how the long foliage begins to turn, then wither and curl in on itself. Once it's done, she pulls her glove back into place. "Behold, my death touch."

That's both cool, and super shitty." He takes a small step forward. "That why you wear the gloves?" Back to Top   Mike Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

It would be safe as mulch. At least he was honest about it and not telling God had a plan or anything like that. She'd heard that nonsense before. "If it's organic, I can kill it. Not so good against robots, though." She wiggles her fingers at him. "Gloves and everything else." A grimace as she recalls the taste of food, if you could call it that.

She can see he's expecting the line already and does him a solid by not saying anything. He respected her personal space, after all. "That's cool. Big city or country town?"

She makes a face and gestures to the city beyond Paradigm's gates, away from Mike. It's the first full gesture she's done since she arrived, but it's also fairly open space. "Big dreams for a rusted out town that's too stubborn to die. Illinois."

Lots of it." She pauses, remembering some of the things the townsfolk talked about. "They wanted to revive it and make it a big cultural center. Good schools, good hospitals, the whole thing. It was okay for a bit, but died out before I was born. It just sort of exists now." Her words were a touch factual, like she'd read it in a history book or heard it several times, but no nostalgia.  It sounded more like pain. "Guess you could call it a ghost town. I was glad when we moved." Enough talking about herself! She looks to Mike again, curious. "So are you the only meta in your family?" « Last Edit: Oct 13, 2015 0:10:44 GMT -6 by Rebecca Jefferson » Back to Top   Mike Daniels Mentor Defense I don't need you to believe in me [send pm] Joined: October 2015 Posts: 1,882 You seem cool (Rebecca/Open) « Oct 13, 2015 0:11:18 GMT -6 » Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top "Yeah, there weren't really a lot where I'm from.
