"That wasn't cool, Eric."  Her voice was rough but not loud or overly angry.

I can't believe everyone was going along with that." He frowned. "I don't know why he is trying to make Clyde look like a fool."

Why waste time in costume? "He...I don't know." She hakes her head and falls silent again. At least he could see the destruction of his friend happening in the long run, rather than follow blindly. She frowns and adds, "But that's not what I was talking about."

Not that she normally did, but hte bluntness carries in her voice. "I don't like being touched, Eric. Especially not in a huge group of people like that. Too many bodies." Too many unknown factors and overstimulization.

"I'm sorry. I didn't really think about it." Now he felt bad. "I wasn't trying to put you on the spot or anything. Shit..."

Still, she accepted the apology with a nod. She didn't doubt that eric was sincere, just overly excited, and yet that didn't excuse him from his actions having consequences. "Just...don't do it again, alright? I don't know if you've met other metas or people who don't like or can't stand it, but I'd appreciate it if you remembered from now on." She lets her lips flicker in a smile to lighter the situation. "I don't cover myself head to toe for kicks, you know? With all the people there, you're lucky it was you and not someone else."

And yeah, I mean. I knew other Metas. There were a ton of them in my special ed classes." He paused. "Not the kind you might think." He added quickly!

So she just looked at ERic and waited for him to explain.

He said with a shrug. "Most public schools weren't equipped to deal with it. My folks sure weren't." He said with a laugh. "So I got shoves into all of those special needs programs for metas growing up. And therapists." He kept his tone light to try and avoid any awkwardness with the subject. "Not cause I was crazy or anything. Just to like, teach me that I can't use my power because I'm upset. Or to go around my parents. Ya know?"

She mulled over a thought in her head, looking down at the floor as she did so before remembering that Eric was still there. Her cheeks flushed momentarily, but she pretended otherwise. "You know, it's really too bad that we have Paradigm, but nothing solid for smaller towns and kids growing up with powers. Not every place can afford it, I know, but it still feels like it's just sort of accepted."

It's there now. Nothing like this sure, but there are specialists all over the place if you look for them. It's getting more and more common everyday. I mean it has to. You and me. We're the next generation. The new normal." He shrugged. Back to Top   Eric Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

She stretches her arms forward, entwining her fingers and pushing them to let them pop. Her farms fell back to her sides, fingers playing with the folds of her skirt. "There were...a lot of specialists. A lot. When it was pretty clear I couldn't control my powers, parents went from pity to scared I'd end up hurting their kids. So, no special education classes for me." She shrugged. "Maybe they were right. Either way, I was home-schooled for a long time. Too much risk and too many school days missed trying to get things sorted out. "We lived near a playground back then, so I was still stuck with e bullies and jerks. I went back when we moved, but that wasn't going to last much longer, anyway." « Last Edit: Oct 17, 2015 22:06:44 GMT -6 by Rebecca Jefferson » Back to Top   Eric Phillips Hero Intelligence A man of many hats [send pm] Joined: October 2015 Posts: 5,490 Walking Talking Dead (Eric/Open) « Oct 17, 2015 22:07:16 GMT -6 » Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top "Guessing they didn't try to beat you up though right?"
