[cadenceshea]

So ... hi, everyone..

[kaiushughe]

Ah, that’s nice to know. I’m an, um.. Apollo kid too. Not exactly the best example of one but.. kinda still am one I guess.

[cadenceshea]

Oh. So we're siblings. That's cool. 

[cadenceshea]

So ... hi, everyone..

[kaiushughe]

Yeah.. Oh i know all about… um, not controlling. -Kaius sighed and let it go, sooner or later she’ll see the pranks people do pull off with their powers.- True, and that is quite fascinating isn’t it? -He stopped himself before he let himself babble on.- I mean.. so uh, are you a demi-god too?

[cadenceshea]

Fair enough. Yeah, actually, I am. My dad is Apollo.

[cadenceshea]

So ... hi, everyone..

[aj-goldmane-deactivated20141202]

Well, what’s your major?

[cadenceshea]

English. Would be creative writing but I want to make sure I can find a job in my field.

[cadenceshea]

So ... hi, everyone..

[aj-goldmane-deactivated20141202]

I understand. My apologies.  Sure, what would you like to talk about?

[cadenceshea]

Thank you. I don't know. Anything. 

[cadenceshea]

So ... hi, everyone..

[aj-goldmane-deactivated20141202]

No big, it’s fine. No harm, no foul. Just remember, more often than not, I’m on your side. And if I ever piss you off, let me know

[cadenceshea]

You were the catalyst but not the cause. I just... can we switch topics, now?

[cadenceshea]

So ... hi, everyone..

[aj-goldmane-deactivated20141202]

I’m sensing a good bit of, well, undue hostility…

[cadenceshea]

[She takes a deep breath, forcing the look off her face.] Sorry. I shouldn't have snapped. ... Sorry.

[cadenceshea]

So ... hi, everyone..

[aj-goldmane-deactivated20141202]

Well, I mean, you’re more than welcome to say it’s not fair. I mean, after all, it’s not.

[cadenceshea]

I don't get an opinion on it, at least, not yet. I'm the new kid, remember? I still have that lost look on my face.

[cadenceshea]

So ... hi, everyone..

[aj-goldmane-deactivated20141202]

That’s what they say. Dad once told me in my instance, it was a gift for putting up with my mother as long as I did. Though I’ll agree, it’s weird

[cadenceshea]

I'm just going to withhold my comments because I'm not looking to start anything, nor do I know enough to form a proper opinion.

[cadenceshea]

So ... hi, everyone..

[aj-goldmane-deactivated20141202]

Oh yea, totally.  Thank ya. Well, from what I understand, it’s rare, but I believe Kaius can do it too.

[cadenceshea]

So, it's a child of Apollo thing, but only certain children can do it? That's a weird way to have things, I guess.

[cadenceshea]

So ... hi, everyone..

[aj-goldmane-deactivated20141202]

Well, that’d suck, really. But I hear ya. Oh, no way! I’m your brother, then! *He held up his hand, bright lights glowing in his palms*

[cadenceshea]

Seriously? That's awesome. [She raised her eyebrows.] But that ...now that is pretty impressive. Is it just you that can do that, or..?

[cadenceshea]

So ... hi, everyone..

[aj-goldmane-deactivated20141202]

Yea, the lost look. Like the place is still blowing your mind. Could be, but I doubt it.Likewise. So, Cadence, you a demigod too?

[cadenceshea]

Like I said, it could just be my face. I could look perpetually confused. I don't, but it's entirely possible. But yes, I am. Daughter of Apollo. You?

[cadenceshea]

So ... hi, everyone..

[aj-goldmane-deactivated20141202]

A little bit. You have the look, still. Hi, I’m Ajani, but feel free to call me AJ

[cadenceshea]

The look? For all you know, that's just my face, thanks. It's nice to meet you.

[cadenceshea]

So ... hi, everyone..

[aj-goldmane-deactivated20141202]

Oh, hey, there! You new?

[cadenceshea]

Is it really that obvious? I'm Cadence.

[cadenceshea]

So ... hi, everyone..

[kaiushughe]

Oh you’ll love it here, just maybe… uh, stay clear of some of the… -he lowered his voice, not entirely sure she knew or not- demigod tricks. I mean, well, people are nice and all but often things go south when the powers kick in too hard.. 

[cadenceshea]

I'm sure it's not intentional. Sometimes, people can't just control their powers or they get angry and things happen. But if it was out of frustration that something happened, you can't really blame them. [She shrugged, playing with the edge of her sleeve.] Everyone handles things differently.

[cadenceshea]

So ... hi, everyone..

[kaiushughe]

-Kaius managed a small smile,- Kaius.. Nice to see a new face around here.. -He waved slightly before shoving his hands back into his pockets.- Um… So, how’s settling in this place? It can get kinda weird sometimes…

[cadenceshea]

It's interesting, so far. I haven't seen much yet, I've only just gotten settled, but ... [Cadence shrugged, looking around.] I like it. 

[cadenceshea]

So ... hi, everyone..

[kaiushughe]

O-oh.. um, hi… Are you new? Haven’t uh, seen you around before..

[cadenceshea]

Yeah, I am, actually. I'm Cadence.

[cadenceshea]

So ... hi, everyone..

[vasilisaalkaev-deactivated20141]

[ The girls enthusiasm was actually contagious, that the corner of Vasilisas’ lips twisted up into a small smile ] I can tell, Cadence. I’m Vasilisa. 

[cadenceshea]

[Cadence's grin widened.] It's so nice to meet you!
