heartfelt-cody‌:

At events like these, Cody often felt like the chaperone rather than an actual attendee. He felt far too old for this, but showed up anyways due to the promise of free booze and the fact that he’d never be able to live with himself if someone got hurt.

In a way, he was like the paramedics on scene at a raucous concert: a safety precaution. “Hey, you uh- might want to slow down a little,” he said gently with a small smile on his features. “Get too drunk and it turns into a not so fun party.”

Rene had also been watching the other student smacking down shots like a day job they loved. But he certainly wasn’t going to say anything. His head turned towards the voice. “I don’t think their listening,” he said.

“I told you to get your ass out of my seat.”

Rene started down at his shoes. He blinked. He closed his book and took a moment to think. He nearly laughed. “I think this bench is property of the Academia, actually. Maybe you’ve misplaced yours?” Because he couldn’t quite grasp what the other was really saying.

“Wait, seriously? Huh. You need to watch it, or read it.” Shrugging her shoulders, Teagan pulled on her bottom lip with her teeth. “I- Yeah. You’re right. It has far too much power over me but I don’t know how to change that.”

Rene tilted his head. He thought over her words. And thought and thought and thought. At any moment he expected her to think he was never going to answer and either walk away or interrupt before he was able to finish thinking. Finally he said, “How come?” He looked to his pant leg, where on side was rolled up a little. That wouldn’t do. He slowly worked his hands to unroll the pant leg. “I don’t know how you can change it either.” Was this one of the moments? Where he said what he felt instead of what the other person expected? Was he supposed to say some sage words of wisdom or give advice? “Whose opinion don’t you care about?”

oliver-lincolns‌:

“Move. You’re in my space. I’m not going to fuck around here.” Oliver barked his orders, his face twitching with anger. He was always hot-headed, more inclined to throw fists first and never both asking questions.

Rene focused on his book for a few seconds more. For someone like him, stopping in the middle of reading because someone--quite loudly--was trying to interrupt you was not possible. He finished and then slowly blinked up at the other. “Hmm?”

teagang‌:

“Have- Have you never seen Peter Pan?” Teagan stared at him, dumbfounded. It had always been one of her favourites. “Not exactly powerful when how the perceive you is always negative.” Shrugging a single shoulder, Teagan furrowed her brows. “I don’t know. I’m just not used to it.”

A pause. Rene thought for a good long while. “I have heard of such a thing,” he said, though nothing really came to mind with the name for him. “Isn’t it?” He eyed the other without every meeting their eyes. “Seems to me like it’s got plenty of power over you.” Had he been more attuned to other people, that probably would have been one of those things he just thought rather than said. “I see.”

nirvanaess‌:

“You know,” Nirvana began speaking their thoughts aloud to no one in particular. “I’ve been thinking a lot about it since my arrival, but if a place like this exists, I’m beginning to believe more and more in Area 51. I’m not saying we should suggest it as a potential mission to carry out, but I’m not saying to completely toss it off the table either. You know? I mean, haven’t you always wondered? There has to be SOMETHING there.”

Rene leaned away slightly--hoping against all hope that maybe he could blend into the background and they’d forget he was even there. Aliens and space were interesting, sure, but he hadn’t even figured out the sentience he was surrounded by. He took a long, long time to answer. Processing every possible way to respond. “What do you mean believe?” He was mumbling--probably too low for them to probably even hear what he was saying. “We already know that it exists. Unless you mean that you question what the facility is for.” He kept his head so low that his chin was nearly touching his chest and his eyes were watching the knots in his sneakers.

“No,” he said. “I need not wonder. Not believing in the exists of life outside Earth is highly illogical.” He almost laughed. Almost. He was doing that thing again. The thing honesty thing that always seemed to get NTs all riled up and huffy. He flinched, wondering if they would be the same. They probably start fighting or ‘playing devil’s advocate.’ Rene braced himself for it.

kaykorvick‌:

Nodding slowly, Kays eyes went back to their book. They had grown used to a lot of silence growing up… at least from the times they could remember being present. It didnt quite mean they enjoyed it, especially on bad days when they remembered all the things they had done. Looking back up, Kay cocked their head to the side. “Hmm… why are you apologizing? You can’t change what I have experienced if you are apologizing for the past or take back anything you have done so far if you are apologizing for yourself.”

Rene shrugged. He shifted on his feet, keeping his eyes to one side--watching one particular blade grass just off to the side of the sidewalk. He’d worked so hard to remember all the things that made NTs feel comfortable. It caught him when what he’d learn didn’t work. “I don’t know,” he said, softly whispered--his loudest tone of voice. “It’s just what people say.”

corvushurley‌:

The truth was that sometimes he was a little too much. He read into things too far and he always tried to find the logic in things but that’s just how he had always been. Yet, he was never cold or arrogant to the extent that people feared telling him things. Corvus knew there was a thin line and he rarely ever crossed it. He listened to them speak as it was one of his favorite things to do. He loved listening to people talk about things they were passionate about. He then noticed that they had gotten a paper cut when turning the page to their book, “Here.. Let me help.” He reached over to grab their hand, the paper cut vanishing before their eyes. “Better?”

He was mumbling. Softly mouthing--whispering--every word he was reading in his anatomy text book. Rene didn’t realize this. He thought he was just reading, and he thought he was alone. It was only when he drew his hand back instinctively from a nasty cut and someone reached out to him that he realized he wasn’t alone. He stiffened up immediately. He wasn’t one for physical touch. “Uh...thanks,” he mumbled, quickly withdrawing and inspecting the now-absent wound. It was actually quite cool...if he hadn’t been touched. “Are you going to be a doctor?”

“Uh, tinkerbell is.” Teagan pulled a face, before shaking her head. “No, I don’t mean to be vindictive. That’s just how everyone perceives me.” She spoke softly. “You don’t?” A frown graced her lips, she was used to people instantly disliking her.. not many people were neutral.

“Who?” Rene asked, only briefly making eye contact before it overwhelmed him and he looked away. “Perception is one of the most powerful things we have,” he said. He frowned--just slightly--mimicking the other’s expression. He learned to do this. To mimic other’s facial expression to make them feel better. He used to blank slate, but apparently that made people uncomfortable. “Should I?”

aiden-alexander‌:

Aiden nodded, remaining silent for a few long moments. “It’s super annoying,” he admitted. “Especially when you have no control over it and you hear everything.” He was sure that it would have driven him to complete insanity if not for the academia and the patch.

When he said that they need to be brushed, Aiden slowly stood. “Maybe I can help you find a brush or something?”

Rene nodded. He could hardly stand hearing people talk all the time. He could only thank the universe for not sticking him with that power. He then started to wonder if powers were completely random...or if they were a manifestation of some inner aspect of the person. What did his wings say about him if that were the case? What did mind-reading say about this kid? “What’s the best and worst thing you’ve ever heard?” Was that impolite? Probably. Did Rene realize that? Not at all.”

Rene nodded. “Maybe.” His eyes scanned the place. “Clearly they’ve moved the brushes,” he said with a sigh. Everything had their place. Why couldn’t things just be left in their place? Without another word, Rene turned at headed out the door, not stopping to check if the other followed him.

#Aiden~

ghostly-brody‌:

Brody walked along the hallway. This was his first year in the mentor division, and he was rather nervous. While he always had decent control over his powers, he couldn’t imagine himself really helping another with that. Still, they thought that he would fit in well; he only had to have a bit of faith in himself.

“You’re gonna be fine, Bro,” Ella smiled. She was attached to him (why, Brody couldn’t figure out) and didn’t seem to ever leave his side. She called herself his ‘spirit guide.’

“Can you leave me alone for one minute?” he sighed, not realizing that there was another staring at him, another person who couldn’t see Ella.

Rene’s head snapped up from the book of horses he was reading. His ear, rather than his eyes, going towards the voice. He looked at the different parts of the floor in order to get a sweeping view of the nearby area. No one. “Are you talking to me?” Perhaps he had some sort of telepathy abilities. He’d already met one student like that. Maybe his thoughts were louder than his voice. It was entirely possible.

#Brody~

aiden-alexander‌:

“Oh,” Aiden responded, not quite sure what to say to that. That was until he actually sprouted those beautiful wings. He looked up at Rene in awe. “I can uh- read minds basically.” He glanced away as he rubbed at the patch at the base of his neck. “They’re beautiful.”

Rene stretched his shoulders, shaking out the new ache in his back. It was weird. Going from nothing to an ache in a new appendage. He fluttered them softly. “Mind-reading? That sounds annoying.” It wasn’t meant to offend. It was just his honest opinion. He could hardly stand a room full of talking people. Let alone the words they were thinking. “Is it annoying.” Rene reached back and touched the feathers. “They need to be brushed.”

devonherline‌:

“That’s understandable.” Devon nodded as she twirled a strand of hair. She looked around their surroundings and then grinned as she returned her attention to Rene. “It was actually rather fun. Mum and dad took their vacation time and we went to the beach and I got to see the ocean for the first time. Have you ever been to the beach, Rene?”

“I’ve been to this beach,” he said, watching the sand beneath him. “And the beach near my house.” He pictured the waves back home. “Never been in the water, though.” Truth was, he’d never really learned how to swim. He preferred watching the waves. Especially now after the day he first got his wings.

selfmadetalia‌:

The NO SERVICE sign taped to the closed doors of the elevator was put there specifically to taunt Talia, she was certain of it. What a great start to classes. Talia wanted to suspend herself up on her crutches and kick the doors, as if that would solve all her problems. Instead, she forced herself to remain calm, draw in a deep breath. There was no time for bitching.

Stairs it is.

Backpack snug to her back, she tucked both crutches under one arm and wrapped the other one around the handrail. This would be a pain, but it was preferable than missing the first day of class. Good thing she’d arrived twenty minutes earlier. Talia supported herself on her crutches, keeping her bad leg extended behind her, and, stomach churning, hopped up on the first step, only then bringing her crutches onto it.

Talia might have learned how to ascend stairs without bearing any weight on her bad leg, but that did not make the situation any less uncomfortable.

Rene glanced at the sign and, without much fanfare, proceeded to the stairs. He usually took the stairs anyway, so why he even looked the the sign in the first place was anyone’s guess. He wasn’t purposefully being slow on his way to class, but he wasn’t making an effort to get there on time either. Which left him just on the cusp of will he? Won’t he? He pulled his thoughts out of his head when some loud thunking came from behind. He turned and listened as it came closer and closer--unable to focus on anything but that sound. A face recognized soon appeared with the sound. “You’d think with all the powers here,” he said softly, not looking at her. “They’d be able to keep everything running properly.” It wasn’t a criticism for him, only an observation.

teagang‌:

“Would you prefer fairy boy?” Teagan retorted, arching an eyebrow. “Oh, because I’m a cruel, vindictive bitch, haven’t you heard?” Scoffing, Teagan gazed out across the lake, a frown appearing on her lips, “Besides, it doesn’t look like you like me very much for some reason. Not that I’m not used to that.”

“I don’t think fairies are usually depicted with wings,” Rene said, but it was soft, just more than a whisper really. He was teasing or mocking her at all. Truthfully, his tone was more whimsical than anything else. He was thinking, processing. “Ah. I see.” Perhaps he’d missed the sarcasm and bite in or words, or perhaps it didn’t matter. “Well...I suppose if you’re going to be vindictive, you might as well leave a mark.” He shifted him legs to lay flat out in front of him. “Mmmm...” His thought caught. For years now he’d been working on not letting that happen. When he was younger, his words would catch so often and for so long that it was hard to have a conversation with the boy. You’d ask him a question and he’d have to think over every possible way of responding to said question for minutes before reply. This time he knew what he truly felt, but he had the feeling that maybe it’d be rude to say so. He’d always struggled with these sort of things. Truth and politeness. This time, he went with truth. “I don’t really have any particular feelings about you one way or the other.”

#Teagan~

aiden-alexander‌:

Aiden glanced at him for a moment before shrugging. “Oh, okay.” He wasn’t quite sure what to say now. He was never that great at talking to people he didn’t know. Usually when he talked too much he’d get shoved into a locker or worse. People… didn’t like him for some reason and he didn’t understand why.

“I have wings,” Rene amended. “Not a bird or anything like that,” he said gently. “Just the wings. Like, well, like an angel.” He never really quite liked the connection all that much. How could anyone live up to that kind of reputation. Unsure what to do, Rene focused and suddenly two pearlescent white wings sprouted from his back, nearly taking up the entire room. “So, uh...yeah. What can you do?”

#Aiden~

max-gerard‌:

It took the boy a few moments to recognize Rene. He was someone that he knew from the academy, although they weren’t close by any means. It was more that they tolerated each other. Still, it was enough of a warm presence for Max to calm down some, his breathing becoming regular. He nodded softly, letting the former conversation die out. “M-My summer was good, I-I didn’t do v-very much. W-What about y-you?”

Rene’s head tilted to one side. He was used to the stuttering. And used to the way Max’s breathing would occasionally hitch. With his desire to work as an EMT, he understood, quite quickly, why. “It was fine. I tried working at a department store,” he said, “but that didn’t last long. So mostly I just flew around the city.”
