Quiet Please

Rozabella 'Rossi' Kennedy 22 Energy Manipulation

[warrenatkins-deactivated2022090]

    Cooper took the offered seat with a grateful smile, he was used to standing a lot as much as we accustomed to doing a whole lot of running while carrying heavy items—it seemed school wasn’t all that different to the military in this day and age. Though, he did quite prefer the cookware and supplies over the weapons any day “No need for apologies.” he says with absolute honesty, folding his hands atop the table and fidgeting with the ring on one finger “What are you studying for?” he questions, he had some extra courses to go along with his major here to catch him up the world in terms of history and technological advancements. 

   There was an awful lot to learn. Still, he smiles, flushing bright red at her praise—lord, he’d never been good at accepting praise from girls. Even if said girl in question was his great great whatever. “I always was a bean pole as a kid.” he muses, thinking back on his childhood was not a smart idea.

   Even so, he fidgets some more in her company uneasy with sitting still for any lengthy period of time. “Aw that’s…that’s mighty kind of you but I like cooking.” he says, stresses the factor of it “Helps me keep occupied and sometimes I make too much for one person to eat—even someone like me. Plus, I’m always happy to save a plate or three of whatever it is I make for you.”

[rossiken]

Rossi smiled at the boy in front of her. That's all he really is, a boy. Something she's constantly forgetting, again and again. He was a boy back when the war started, he was a boy when he was in the war, and he's still a boy now. She can only imagine what's been going through his mind while everything has been happening around him. She feels gross, to say the least, at the mere thought of how unsympathetic she's been towards him. Rossi herself has been tossed around a few times, to the point where she's been annoyed as hell, to the point where she's worried that she's going to lose whatever innocence she has left. Now here she is, standing in front of someone whom she's insulted mentally more than she's ready to admit.

Jesus christ she's a horrible person.

Smiling, Rossi pushed the thoughts from her mind and focused on the boy in front of her. "Physics, I want to be transferred into a higher class, if that's possible. Plus I don't want to be in Intro to Psychology anymore, I want to be in a real Psychology class." She explained, tapping the two large textbooks that had been pushed to the side. Setting the bag of cookies on top of the books, Rossi grabbed another cookie from the bag and started nibbling on it. 

[rossiken]

"You'd think with how well funded the school is they'd be able to afford good food."

[scarlettniles]

"Have to be in the right place at the right time. The force field thing is pretty funny though, I’ve seen people do that a few times. Have you ever seen someone with invisibility move people’s stuff around while they’re not looking? It’s like a slow ageing prank. Has to go on for about twenty minutes and you can see them getting super frustrated the longer it happens. Very satisfying when they finally snap."

[rossiken]

Rossi nodded, "Yeah, it's really funny, but not as funny compared to what I'm sure you've been seeing." She tried to remember seeing someone do something like what Scarlett was describing, but she ended up shaking her head. "No I haven't, See you're in the middle of all the fun stuff."

[rossiken]

scarlettniles: "Really? What were you referring to? Personally I struggle to think of anything that’s more entertaining than accidental fires and flying into walls. Maybe accidental freezing, that’s always fun.”

"You know, the people with telekinesis who de-pantsed people they walked by, or those who would put up invisible force fields and watch others walk into them. Well, now they sound boring compared to yours. I need to hang out where you do so I can watch those things happening."

[rossiken]

cooperkennedy:     His pleasure is obvious when she accepts his gift, even if he hadn’t made it with her in mind at the time; anything he could share with the woman was a gift all the same and honestly, the fact that she thought they were good was better than any grade this institution could offer him. And as far as he knew, his grades were excellent thank you very much. Still, he laughs at her words and presses a hand to flat span of his stomach under his pullover “If I were, I would be a lot more rotund.” he says with absolute honesty, and he wouldn’t mind eating everything he baked but that would hardly make a good baker or chef of him.      With an absent motion towards one of the nearby benches he slides over to seat himself “I was thinking of making some lasagna for this evening, I mean word has already gotten out about it so I’ll likely not be the only one eating it—side of caesar salad and garlic bread.” he glances towards her “Would you like me to save you a plate?”

Rossi could tell that she was making Cooper happy, and she was genuinely meaning all of it too. Normally she just said things, sure she likes blatant honesty, but her parents frowned upon 'harsh' words. Ever since she got here, blatancy is all she's got. Figuring that they'd be here talking, for a while, Rossi gestured to the chair across from her then said to Cooper, "Feel free to take a seat, sorry about my stuff, I was trying to study but boredom got the best of me." She felt a bit bad for not saying so sooner, he'd just been standing there while they were talking and she didn't even think about that, how rude. Taking another bite of the cookie, Rossi licked her lips and smiled, "I doubt it, even if you did eat a bunch of cookies I'm highly positive that you wouldn't gain a pound, god has a habit of picking favorites like that."

Her eyes widened at the mention of him making food, for other people none the less, but nodded eagerly. "Yes please, if you want I could help you out as well. You should get paid for making food for other people, especially since you're so good at it."

[warrenatkins-deactivated2022090]

Bundling his jacket closer to himself despite the general warmth of the interior he offers a shy smile forth "Good to hear you have such faith in me." he murmurs, honestly he hadn’t thought much on what he would do if he caught anybody, mostly he’d been a little miffed they hadn’t bothered to say hello before swiping his cookies. 

Speaking of cookies, he reaches into one of the large  pockets of his canvas jacket, pulls free the ziploc bag and offers them forth to his…while he was getting tired of saying all those greats before granddaughter and he felt even weirder putting granddaughter in connection to Rossi; mostly he called her his cousin to ward off any further prying questions.  "I did manage to save you some."

[rossiken]

Rossi's own smile widened a bit, enjoying this side of Cooper, not the side she sees whenever he's mad at her or anything in general. She knows he's a gentle spirit, at heart at least, it was just the war that gave him such a harsh, strict temper. Pushing away the thoughts, the girl refocused on the man in front of her and was surprised to see a ziplock bag of cookies in his hands. God, she forgets how, well, adorable Cooper can be.

Smile widening even more, she accepted the bag and couldn't help but open it now. When was the last time she smiled so much her muscle's hurt? Shrugging away the thoughts, she took a cookie out of the bag and took a bite. "Oh my god, these are so good. You need to bake more often, or at least share with me more often. I swear you just like to keep them to yourself." She rambled, licking her lips and looking at Cooper with a mock accusatory expression. 

[scarlettniles]

"I know, right? I haven’t seen anyone accidentally set something on fire or fly into a wall in days. I’m sure I’m having some kind of withdrawal thing."

[rossiken]

Rossi raised an eyebrow curiously but couldn't stop the smile from coming onto her face. "That sounds a lot more exciting then what I was referring to."

[warrenatkins-deactivated2022090]

“I think I’d be more stressed if they took my bracelet  away from me. And then I’d probably catapult  myself forward another hundred years.  So, I like it; it’s quiet and I don’t have to question  where half my baked goods go when the students  can’t go invisible or…or, teleport in anymore.  How..how are you taking it Rossi?”

[rossiken]

Rossi smiled at Cooper, figuring that this wouldn't have much of an effect on him. At the mention of his baked good's 'suddenly' disappearing, she couldn't help but smile in amusement. "That's good, but what will you do when you find the culprit?" She asked with a raised eyebrow, knowing Cooper as a gentle spirit who wouldn't really do anything to harm someone, except for the war, but that's something else entirely, "It's, it's weird, if I'm being honest."

[rossiken]

"Things are much calmer now that no one has their powers, but they're also much more boring."

[holly-chameleon]

"Trust me sweetie pie, I have not been offering you tea. This place has gone crazy, and I think your also crazy."

[rossiken]

"Crazy? Whatever, deny it all you want, I don't give a shit anymore."

[deliawalker-deactivated20150522]

"I have tea?!"

the girl looked down at her hands, seeing nothing and quickly frowning. she should have known and a part of her did. but she still believed it.

"I do not have tea.But you think I do. You dense?"

[rossiken]

Rossi rolled her eyes and groaned, "You have to be kidding me." This person was wearing colorful clothing and balancing things on her head like a mad woman. It was annoying, and Rossi has just been trying to ignore her. "I don't think you have any tea, it's right there, balanced on your head as if you don't follow the laws of gravity."

[holly-chameleon]

"For the first time, what the hell are you talking about? I didn’t offer you any tea, but, um whatever you say."

[rossiken]

"Don't play dumb, you've been offering me tea for the last ten minutes. I'm tired of it! Just get out of my face."

[rossiken]

"For the last time I don't want any of your damn tea!"

[scarlettniles]

"Hey! Can you just — I need to get over there.” Scarlett called out, clambering to the other side of the couch and reaching out to grab the person who was walking past. For a second her footing wavered and she was sure she was going to fall off, an almost inaudible squeak of fear leaving her mouth. When she managed to steady herself and return her attention to the person in front of her, she looked somewhat stressed. “I need a piggy back. I can’t touch the floor.”

[rossiken]

Leaving class is not something Rossi likes to do, but she also likes large, spider-like creatures even less. The fact that no one else was even acknowledging them made her feel extremely uncomfortable. When she heard someone calling out to her, she immediately reacted and glanced in that direction, not expecting to see a floating cat. The words that came out of the cat's mouth was even more confusing. "Why do you need a piggy back? You're already floating off of the ground, I don't see why you'd need my help."

[dxgny]

Dagny lay on a patch of grass with her hands resting upon her midriff, concentrating so hard on the sky that she was frowning. She’d awoken today with the strongest urge to spout secrets both minor and — problematic. Such a feeling actually terrified Dagny; there were some things she simply didn’t want anyone knowing. Not now, not ever. As a result, the earth beneath her was shaking gently, like a miniature earthquake, as if she channelled her nervous energy through it just then.

[rossiken]

Rossi couldn't concentrate in class, there were things crawling on the walls and everyone's face looked like someone smeared paint on them. The teacher was the worst, his head kept spinning, like an owl, it wasn't fast but it wasn't slow either, it was just confusing. Thinking she needed air, Rossi left class and went for a walk. Of course when she walks outside the ground is shaking, if only slightly, something she's sure is only another part of her mind playing tricks on her. Though, when she sees a woman just laying there on the ground in a gorgeous gown and fabulous hair, she's more than confused. "Excuse me, aren't you worried about ruining your dress?"

[giselle-hopkins]

Giselle sighed, scribbling a message onto her notebook and holding up, hoping to catch the attention of someone passing by, “Please talk to me. I know this looks desperate but I promise I’m not.”

[rossiken]

Rossi wasn't entirely sure what she should do. The creatures were still behind her, just large bugs that didn't try to hurt her, but she's allowed to be nervous of them. The girl looked upset, not incredibly sad or anything like that, but enough to make the college student pause. "Okay, is there anything specific you want to talk about?"

[rossiken]

For the next two days you will experience intense, vivid hallucinations and won't recognise anyone you come into contact with. At times you'll mistake those around you for Alice in Wonderland characters.
