Evie had escaped her Pod for another cigarette, thoughtfully wandering the campus grounds. She had put the butt of her cancer stick into the empty pack she carried with her - littering is bad! - and kept wandering, aimlessly.

The tall, thick tree had caught her attention. It looked almost regal, standing so strong. She took off one of her thin gloves and placed her bare skin against the trunk.

Her chains started to lightly move from her back, her pupils dilating and the rest of the world fading away from her. She took a deep breath and smiled, one of her chains beginning to wrap around the trunk and sink into the wood.

There was no soul, no memories or thoughts she could touch, but there was something... pure. Something beautiful. There was a life force. There was no need to grow... It existed, which was exactly what it was supposed to.

Without really realizing what she was doing, she leaned forward, resting her forehead against the rough bark, and smiled. Two chains were wrapped around the tree in a kind embrace, the other two seeming to wiggle behind her.

"What are you doing?"

Mike asked with a cocked brow. A baseball in one hand and a bat made of dark glowing blue energy in another. The same energy that surrounded his whole body.

"Can you like, talk to plants or something?"

Though that wouldn't explain the chains.

She jumped slightly, startled by the sound of a voice. Her chains stayed connected, the peace of the tree still washing over her.

She smiled at the stranger, giving a shake of her head. "I was actually testing that," she said. Pulling her hands away, she pulled her chains off of the tree and let them wrap around her.

"They are alive, but they dont... really have thoughts. Not that I can understand, anyways."

"Well. They are plants."

He shrugged.

"What do they have to think about?"

"Existing," she said with a dreamy sort of smile. "Just being. They're totally confident... just being. They don't NEED to think."

She turned and brushed her fingers across the tree bark. "Isn't that beautiful?"

He'd slowly reach to touch the tree with a frown.

"I'm not feeling it."

But she wasn't wrong.

"That's because you're just touching the tree. You're not feeling it."

She was continuing to smile, looking between the tree and the stranger.

"Don't touch it. Feel it. You're touching the tree with your hand... You touch things with your body."

Then, one chain reached forward to touch the tree, seeming to sink through the bark. "You feel with the soul."

"I am touching it with my soul."

Literally, he was still glowing.

"And I still don't feel it."

She obviously startled at that statement. She stepped closer to him with a furrow brow.

"You are?"

He'd hold up his glowing hand for her to see.

"Yes."

"Is that your soul?" She asked with obvious excitement.

The tree momentarily forgotten, she closed the distance between them to examine his glowing hand.

"Soul projection."

He'd let her examine him.

"That's so cool!"

She didn't touch him, but she was obviously excited at the prospect. She hadn't met anybody else who used their soul for their power.

"I use my soul, too," she said, her chains wiggling to prove a point.

"Is that what the chains are then?"

Huh. Go figure. Small world.

She nodded and stepped away from him, letting the chains move towards him. Her pupils were still dilated and her body looked paler, her skin cold to the touch.

"Yeah. I can't project my soul in other ways, but I have these chains. They come in handy."

Her fingers trailed along the links and they seemed to quiver delicately under her touch.

"Mine shows up as this aura shield around me and objects I can make."

He held up the bat.

"But I can also project it into you with a touch."

She tilted her head to one side, curiously, as her chains began to retract back into herself.

"Doesn't that... leave your body vulnerable?" She asked curiously. "I mean, my soul stays mostly in my body, and I still have affects from it."

"It's never been an issue. It could be because my soul can't go that far from me. I have to touch you."

"Can I... see?" She asked, leaning forward with a wide smile.

Another person who could use their soul... Fascinating!

"You said you can transfer your soul. Can I see?"

Once her chains retracted, her skin flushed again (even though she was still abnormally pale). Her eyes returned to normal, despite being wide and curious.

He'd shake his head no.

"I don't want to hurt you."

"So it hurts?"

She knew her chains could cause quite a bit of pain, especially if somebody tried to fight them, but she wasn't used to pain.

She didn't really have a strong endurance, but what she did have was naiveté. She didn't know much about powers, especially not hers.

Could she put people in a coma, then? How interesting.

"I assume those people didn't have complete control of their souls, though, right? With both of us being soul manipulators... Maybe it won't be as bad?"
