Pretty odd.

Shelby Sater, seventeen. I manipulate darkness, telekinesis, too.

[violetuniverse1]

In the flesh. It has. So, how have you been?

[shelbysater]

Well--almost every possible thing went wrong when I was gone, but other than that, I'm just really surprised by the number of new people when I got back.

How were you and the academy while I was out?

[ofstarshine]

I live for being obvious love. Makes me have to answer less questions..

[shelbysater]

It's an interesting way of thinking, I suppose. It actually does makes sense.

[hcrcwitz]

Sorry about that.

[shelbysater]

It's no big deal. Hey--you look familiar, not to sound creepy or anything. I think we have a class together.

.

[dracoreaver-deactivated20140623]

That’s one terrible getup you’ve got there.

[shelbysater]

What--are you the fucking fashion cop? Since when did my pajamas need to look good? 

[traceatwood]

Not to be alarmed, but I might have set my bed on fire.

[shelbysater]

Jesus Christ, what were you even doing to set it on fire?

[ofstarshine]

Sorry you just have a great body. Honestly.

[shelbysater]

Well, uh--thanks, I guess.

Ha, just a word of advice, next time you stare at someone try making it less obvious.

[jfc-calvin]

You’re just so stunning Shel, can’t keep my eyes off you.

[shelbysater]

Not going to work on me, Cal.

[xavier-cavan-deactivated2014112]

No I just think you’re beautiful, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the pleasure of looking at beautiful people

[shelbysater]

Beautiful? Ha--thank you, but I don't really respond to comments like this well.

[hcrcwitz]

What? No. I just spaced out, sorry.

[shelbysater]

Oh, well--if that's the case then it's alright.

I tend to space out a lot, so, I get it.

[violetuniverse1]

No, you just look familiar.

[shelbysater]

I do? Oh--wait--Diana? Jesus, it's been a long time.

[ofcxterina]

A s-spider. I w-was debating w-whether to flick i-it off b-but some people d-don’t like p-people touching them.

[shelbysater]

A spider? Ha--you could've just said so.

[shelbysater]

You've been staring at me for the past two minutes. Jesus, is there something on my back, or what?

[violetuniverse1]

She slowly awoken from her slumber in the garden she mumbled 

I do…

[shelbysater]

You do? Hey--uh, are you okay?

[reedcharlies]

Goddamn, she saw it. His hands ran through his messy hair, and his gaze averted to the floor. “Y-Yeah, that’s pretty much some of it.” She probably thought that he was more of a fucking soft-ass wimp, but the idea of an opposite of himself—who was probably more powerful—rattled him more than it should. Reed watched as the girl effortlessly, or so it looked, dragged the small piece of darkness she had grasped. “No light, no elemental manipulation. That’s simply how it goes.” 

He had never seen darkness manipulation before. In some odd sense, it was art—well, at least to him, that’s how she made it appear as. He quickly snapped back to the current awkward situation he created, “Yeah, sorry about that.” His balance shifted from one leg to another. “God, I, uh, haven’t asked for your name yet.”

[shelbysater]

Shelby was simply intrigued by the boy's manipulations. "Some if it." She repeated. It was obvious that he was nervous. While his words were calm and seemingly collected, his body language gave it away. He'd try to avoid most eye contact, but she felt his burning through her while she toyed with the shadow. He was powerful, she could tell that much. She knew that by his accidental water controlling. Accidental manipulating was the same thing that happened to her when she was nervous, and that took power.

"It's alright, I guess." A short laugh escaped her lips at his awkwardness. "Hm, my name?" Giving her name away wasn't her style, but she made this an exception. Merely because there was something about him that she found interesting. "It's Shelby. Well, Shelby Sater. And yours?" 

[jfc-calvin]

I bet you would have loved to be there. So basically what you’re saying is that you did miss me.

[shelbysater]

And get accidentally killed--not really. Me? Miss having an irrepressible cheeky prick around? 

[derrek-white]

Oh… I dunno. I’m used to changing. I don’t think much is weird.

[shelbysater]

What do you usually change to, then?

[jfc-calvin]

It was. Oh c’mon Shelby, you know you missed having me around.

[shelbysater]

I could imagine the whole thing play out in my head, really. Missed? Hm--let me think about it. I was gone around the same time you were, I just came back and you weren't here.
