James Dunbar, HP 5/5

James

If the girl is bothered by James’ intense stare or his awkward questions, she does not show it. “My name is Rose. Hello James.” She paused a moment, before gesturing for him to come closer. “Would you like to sit with me? This garden is quite soothing. It might help you to calm yourself.”

For a moment, James looks...well, taken aback. He frowns, and seems ready to deliver a curt refusal, but then stops and looks down at his feet. After a moment, he looks up again, seemingly slightly uncertain. "I...I used to like flowers. I'd..." On James's face, confusions mingles with uncertainty. "I'd...forgotten that." 'How much else have you forgotten, James?' Still appearing wary, James moves closer to Rose and sits down. He looks around the garden, his face a curious mixture of a frowning confusion and an odd remembered joy - very faint, as if coming from very far away.

"If it were just for me, I would have less concern. However, if certain things become public my family would be poorly affected. You ask me to have trust but there are people in this school who should be under the care of doctors, not in a school where secrecy is vital," Hoshiko says, trying to keep a normal tone and not sound upset.

Marcus Stevens (Proton) HPs: 5/5

"I think Cloud's raised some good points," Marcus tossed in, " . . . trust . . . secrets . . . bonding. I think the bottom line is . . . risk. Ya gotta be willing to accept some risk, ta achieve . . . anything, really."

"So . . . what's next?" Marcus asked.

 

[Rybaer]

"Yeah," Cloud says. "What's next on the agenda? I'd like to see some more of this place...learn about the program."

“I do not wish to sound unsympathetic,” Wes said at last. “You have some valid concerns. However, if you do not want to trust us and the members of your group, then perhaps you would be better served finding a mentor outside the walls of this school.”

Wes’s words were met with a look of annoyance from Siren, though after giving him a long glare, turned to answer the question posed by Marcus and Cloud. “If there are no more questions, I think it would be nice to take a tour of the school. I heard that a number of students had some difficulty finding their way last evening, so I hope we can alleviate that before the semester officially starts.”

Rose smiled as James moved to sit near her. “I am glad you could join me, James.” Around them, a soft breeze stirred, bringing with it the scent of worked earth and flowers. Rose took a deep breath, before burying her hands in the dirt near the base of an azalia bush that appeared to be wilting. “What do you think of this school so far?”

Jonn Birkey (Rumble)

Wes’s words were met with a look of annoyance from Siren, though after giving him a long glare, turned to answer the question posed by Marcus and Cloud. “If there are no more questions, I think it would be nice to take a tour of the school. I heard that a number of students had some difficulty finding their way last evening, so I hope we can alleviate that before the semester officially starts.”

Jonn looked around quickly at the others and then down at the floor. Slowly, he looked up in the general direction of Wes and Siren. "Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing some more of the grounds."

"What do you think, Marcus? Is this place worth it or is it gonna turn into more trouble than it's worth?"

 

[Calinon]

Wes' response frustrated and further upset Hoshiko. She stayed silent, but her mind did not.

Why didn't this get explained during the initial interview! she thought to herself in exasperation. Scholarships for people with special talents sounded like if we let someone study us we'd get an education. But now to expose myself to people I don't know? I can count the people who I trust with my secret on one hand and they want me to just give up my privacy without any consideration! Why did they bring us all the way here without telling us that part!

She caught herself wringing her hands again in her lap and grinding her teeth together, but just couldn't bring her frustration level down enough to stop.

"What do you think, Marcus? Is this place worth it or is it gonna turn into more trouble than it's worth?"

"Probably more trouble . . . but hey, I got nothing better going right now," Marcus replied. "Besides, it's definitely going to be a learning experience."

Marcus stood up from his seat and looked at the others. "Guess it's time for a tour," he commented.

Rinea piped up, "I would welcome a chance to see more of the facilities. As to the issue of trust, I can assure each of you that I will not share any private information given in confidence for as long as you wish the information to remain private... and probably longer. By the way, how long does your species live?"
