Rose O'Meara The snack had been just what I'd needed, and so, feeling much better, I was doing a little bit of exploring. I knew I should get back to bed, and all that, but I just wasn't going to get to sleep any time soon. Stupid nightmares. Anyway, the school. Exploring. Probably going to get into trouble, but I wasn't too worried at the moment. I wasn't going to get into anywhere where I shouldn't be, after all, just walk the hallways and all that fun stuff.

Deianira Athanasios I just got in from outside. Ever since I put Kurt in trouble, I keep my late night outings to a minimum. I don't want to disappoint, anger, or hurt him ever again. Plus, if I stay up too late, Alex pummels me in the morning. No, really. Pummels me. I smell of fresh air and water. I always do. It's just the way I smell due to the ice. Like someone who's just gotten in from a walk in the rain. I pause when I see someone, more to the point, I pause when I see someone that I don't know. So I put on my best grin, and I tug my pin-straight hair into shape. Tonight, again, I'm wearing a long gypsy skirt, and the top is a sheer one over a smaller tank top. All of it is very breathable. My feet are bare once more. "Um..hi."

Rose O'Meara "Oh!" A bit of a jump, and a smile. Because, well, I hope she's not a hall monitor, if there even are those, but anyway, I hope I'm not about to get myself into trouble for being up and wandering around. "Hello. I didn't disturb you, did I?" I obviously didn't wake her up, since, well, she was all dressed and that likely meant she'd been up.

Deianira Athanasios "Naw, was just headin' up to bed after enjoyin' some starlight. Or, you know, cloud light." I pause, and I give a slightly awkward smirk. "You know. 'cuz it's cloudy." Just in case. Because not all people are all that bright, and I don't know her from Adam. So. She could be on the dull side. "Didn't mean to scare you." I approach, as I get near she can feel the air cool, around me it's about fifty degrees. She can also tell that I don't really breathe, only to speak. That's the only time I draw in air through my lungs. "you're new. I'm Deianira." Pronounced 'Day-ah-near-ah'. It's pretty. Greek. "Or Dei is fine." Day. I like being called day. "Or Popsicle. I'm all three in one. Like a booster pack."

Rose O'Meara "Oh." Blinking at her. Thinking she's weird, cause, you know, clouds don't make light, but... right, it's a joke. "Is it? I haven't been outside since right after dinner." Smiling a bit. She seemed nice, at least. "Oh, you didn't scare me, just surprised me." Nodding, and noticing the temperature drop, though I didn't really realize she wasn't breathing. I saw she wasn't, and all, but, well, it just didn't 'hit me'. "Nice to meet you. I'm Rose." And a nod. "Yeah, I've only been here few days." Smiling a bit.

Deianira Athanasios I don't extend my hand. Touching isn't the best thing for me, especially people who might have higher temps than normal. Me, I have a very much lower temp than normal. I give people chills sometimes. Standing next to them. It's just my aura. "The clouds look like they give off light, with the moon behind them." I'm just filling out my thought. Cloud-shine. So I don't appear weird...er. "So Rose..what's your thing?" That's how I ask everyone.

Rose O'Meara And I don't either, because, well, touching people wasn't good. Well, it was, but it wasn't. I wasn't like the other girl, that one of the students had mentioned, I didn't hurt people, but it still felt weird, and, well, it was an invasion of their privacy to take their abilities without asking. It was part of them, and I always felt like a thief when it had happened accidentally. "Oh. Yeah. That's pretty. I like rainstorms better though. Especially with thunder." I don't know why I said that, but, I did. "Me? Oh. I, well, I'm kinda like a Xerox. I can 'borrow' someone's abilities." Shrugging. "How about you? I'm guessing something with ice?" Smiling. Not hard to guess, with a name like Popsicle, and the cold air around her.

Deianira Athanasios "Something. I survived a fight with Sabretooth." I lift my chin with pride, then I smirk and admit. "Of course...Kurt had to bail me out." I chuckle a bit, but my smile fades some. That had been a horrible scary night. I touch my cheek, I have faint scars in three rows there. "So um. Yeah." I glance around and then back to her, and I smirk some. "By the way, if you ever meet an 'Iceman' he prefers to be called Bob, being called Bobby annoys him, you know..a little boy's name. It's all...childish I suppose." I grin a bit. "Iceman is so tough, then there's Bobby." The last, his name, I speak in a high-sing-songy sort of voice.

Rose O'Meara Blinking at that. "Really?" Looking a little nervous. Okay, a LOT nervous. "That doesn't usually happen, right? Cause, well, I'd really really really like to stay away from people like him." Nodding, and then blushing a hint. There I go, rambling. "Well, good that he was there, then." "Bobby, huh? I'll remember that." And call him that. Maybe. If I get to know him, and can tease him. And, well, I'm giggling, cause it's funny.

Deianira Athanasios "No. Bob. Usually he likes being called Robert so Bob annoys him more than Bobby. Imagine an accountant, that's what 'Bob' brings to mind. Too grown up, and stuff. Boring." I don't want to snicker and give myself away. This'll be a prank, besides, it's not like they have chances at romance, Bob's got himself a human girl all to himself. "And yeah. I didn't recognize him at first. So he tricked me..to get me alone..and it was all sorts of scary horror film stuff. Rawring and clawing and blood and such." I shudder, I don't like to remember that.

Rose O'Meara I'd grin. "Oh. Ok. Robert." Snickering. "Bob the accountant who sits at a desk in a cubicle all day.... How boring." Snickering. "He sounds kinda stuck up..." Shrugging. Cause, well, he did, specially if he got all blah about his name. "Oh." Shivering, and not from the cold. "That's horrible..."

Deianira Athanasios "It is. See this? Scars. From it." I point to the three slim lines on my cheek. "Mosta the time I got my ice to protect my skin, but he caught me off guard. Though if he can't breathe, he panics too." I grin grimly. I then shrug Bobby off, the more people I can get to call him Bob the better, because then I win. What? I dunno. But I win. So there. "He's a butt."

Rose O'Meara "Oh." Scars aren't fun. Well, it could have been worse, I'd not really have noticed them unless she'd pointed them out. Ice shields, cool. "Oh." Not really wanting to know how she knows that, because, well, no scary details, I did want to sleep, after all. I'd snicker. "Yeah." Well, I'd just have to tease him. It would be fun.

Deianira Athanasios "Ice..all up in there.." I motion, hand swirls around my face a couple times for emphasis, because she may not have wanted the visual, but she got it. I smirk again and then shrug. "You had to be there...to know how scary it really was. Just, if they tell you not to go out of the school grounds at night..just listen. I learned the hard way." I then outright laugh. Yeah. Bob the Butt. "But seriously, Bob's a good guy, he's a good friend, and funny. And hot...and.." I blush, I didn't just say that. No, I have no designs on Bobby Drake, I just can mention that he's hot..right?

Rose O'Meara "Oh." Nodding. Yeah. Scuse me while I freak out cause of claustrophobia. Well, not freak out, but my eyes would widen, my breathing would increase a little bit... I'd feel sorry for the guy, except, you know, Sabertooth. "I won't." Nodding. I don't want to run into anyone like him. "Oh, is he?" Grinning a bit at the blush. And of course.

Deianira Athanasios Wow. I was a role model! Me! Ohmygosh. Kurt would be proud of me. I can't help but grin a bit. I can handle myself somewhat, but against Sabretooth. Nu-uh. Give me a Toad any day. I could freeze his tongue to the ground and use him like a weeble-wobble. But anyway. Yeah. "He's got a girlfriend though." I bite my lip. "But she got cured." It's apparent that I don't' know how to feel about that.

Rose O'Meara "Oh." Well, of course, if he was hot. Not that I cared, as I didn't know him or anything, but she seemed upset about that- I'd blink again, though, looking a little... not exactly sick, nor angry, but, well, I guess disturbed. "Cured. Ugh. Eww." That seemed so wrong to me... Though I'm sure she had her reasons.

Deianira Athanasios "I know." I make a face. I met Rogue a couple of times. And sure, yeah, not touching is hard, but hello...I deal with it, though I suppose I won't die and the people I touch won't die. "I don't mean to sound..well...mean, but. I don't think she even belongs here anymore...at least, a little part of me. This place is for us." I shrug, and sigh. I don't want to sound like a horrible person. "I mean, I can't touch people really ...and you don't see me running for the cure." I chuckle. "running for the cure, sounds like the title to some cancer awareness marathon."

Rose O'Meara "Yeah." Nodding a bit. I don't really know what to think about that, and it shows. She doesn't really belong here, but I don't think she should be kicked out, either. "No, no I don't. But... I don't even know." A shrug. "Where'd we be if monkeys made a cure for humanity way back in the day?" Giggling a bit. "It does. It probably is, too. Or a slogan or something."

Deianira Athanasios "yeah...Yeah!" I blink at my own enthusiasm behind the second one. I shake my head then. "Exactly. It'd be like curing humanism back then, or something. You're wicked smart, chick." I grin bright and then shrug. "run for the cure. I can see posters already. Mutants with scales running toward a doctor, coming out smooth-skinned...or something."

Rose O'Meara "Thanks." Nodding, and trying to hide a blush. "Well, at least most of us are smart enough not to take it." Pausing. "Or, well, able enough. I don't know if I could deal with not ever touching anyone again." "Yeah!" Snickering. "That would be hilarious!"

Deianira Athanasios "I can't..really. It hurts me though. Burns me almost." I shrug. "I live with it, then again I don't got some boyfriend throwing pressure on that stuff, and ..stuff." I shrug and then snicker. "Yep. She could be their spokes woman." Wow, that came out harsher than I thought. I bite my lip at that.

Rose O'Meara "Oh." Blinking at that. "That's terrible." I'd frown. A pause though, and I'd look at her. "Yeah..." It's bad enough that she got cured. But to be cured because someone else wanted you to be? That's terrible. "Heh. Probably."

Deianira Athanasios "I dunno, though. I know Bob better than that, I don't think he really pressured her. It was probably all in her head or something. Bob doesn't seem like the pushy type. He's...nice." No crush here. Absolutely not. My crush is elsewhere, higher up, darker blue. "I dunno, I just sort of feel weird around her now."

Rose O'Meara "Oh." Nodding. Yeah, I'm a bastion of intelligent communication here tonight. "Cause that would be a horrible thing to do..." "I bet..." I haven't met her yet, though, so... Well I probably would feel weird too.

Deianira Athanasios Knowing she was, but isn't. Knowing she did that. Gave up. I think that's it. She gave up. For me, I couldn't imagine giving up. I shrug then. and I smile. "Well, it was nice meeting you Rose, but..it's late and I'm exhausted..and my little brother'll make my life difficult tomorrow if I'm not up in time." I pause. "And if you see a rug-rat, about this high who looks like me. He pulls pranks...trust me." I hold my hand up to about Alex's height.

Rose O'Meara "Uh-oh." Smirking a bit. "I'll remember that. It was nice meeting you too Dei." A smile. "G'night."

Deianira Athanasios I wander off toward my room, taking in a breath every so often to hum as I go. There's a pep in my step. I m ay have a new friend. And I may have played a prank of Bob. I also warned of my brother's wrath.
