Welcome to Gaia! ::

Marcus was kicking himself on the inside for having made such an obvious lie. Marcus took a quick look around the room before responding, "We'll talk about me when we get to the room." Marcus's plan was to be open about himself -for the most part- and hopefully that would lead to her being open as well.
Yet another surprise from Akido. At least now he wouldn't be afraid to drink in front of her. A bit lost in thought, Marcus hadn't seen her begin to leave and took a few quick steps to catch up after she called to him. All the while being sure to keep his meal balanced.

The entire walk back to the room Marcus was deciding what he would tell her and what would be left out. When they final entered the room, Marcus shut the door behind him and set his lunch down on the desk. Making his way to his bag, he pulled out the bottle of orange juice and vodka, quickly drinking the remainder of it. Inebriation would hopefully come quickly, these kind of conversations were easier when he wasn't sober.
Setting the bottle back in the bag, he sat at the foot of his bed, his eyes to the floor. "Well, I can create these sounds and pulses that mess with peoples brains depending on the noise I make." His eyes shifted upwards to meet hers, checking for her reaction. "It all started when I was in a plane crash. Somehow I lived, but the doctors pretty much had to put me back together like a puzzle. That's how I ended up with the plate in my mouth, along with several other plates and such." Of course, he left out the reason he was on the plane to begin with. "So when I woke up from a month long coma, I discovered my gift..." His eyes were back at the floor after he finished.

Marcus couldn't help but let his mind drift to the parts he had left out. Murdering his girlfriend, the jail escape in which he killed most of the inmates and security guards and living on the streets for the past few years using crime as a way of surviving. All these things Marcus felt could wait. The idea was for her to feel comfortable around him, not scare her off.
"I suppose your right, I just still feel like an outcast and not quite comfortable talking about my abilities. Guess I've just gotten used to that mindset, you know..."
After Akido's next statement, Marcus couldn't help but think to himself, If only she knew... Though most of the plates themselves weren't visible, they did leave quite unsightly scars. "Yeah, doctors can do some pretty amazing stuff these days." Marcus had almost forgotten about his meal. He grabbed the tray off the desk and sat back down on the bed. He took small bites, not wanting to have a full mouth and make a slob out of himself.

Marcus continued to eat as she spoke, eventually finishing his sub. Marcus thought back to how when he first had arrived, he hoped he would be without a room mate. However, now that Akido was here, he felt her company might be something he could get used to.
"Why'd you leave? Sounds like you had it pretty set at the hospital." Marcus asked before taking a sip of his Coke. He felt that it was time he learned a bit more about her having given his side of the story already.

Marcus once again sat quietly and listened, but when the topic of children came up, his heart sank. The topic of children was always touchy when it came to Marcus, his mind always drifted back to Sam. His eyes again dropped, his mind swimming through painful memories. Marcus raised his hand over his heart and gently held it there. After Sam was born Marcus had gotten a tattoo of Sam's name on his chest, right over his heart. Amazingly, when he had gotten in the plane accident, that tattoo was spared and was still very much visible, framed with scars. But to every one else, all of his tattoo's were still visible.
Marcus couldn't seem to bring himself back to reality, his mind was stuck on the memories of his son. His laugh when Marcus would make funny faces and noises, the way he would sleep so soundly, never waking during the night. Most painfully of all, Marcus remembered his hand limply laying over the pillow that was being pushed against his face. Marcus was filled with so much sorrow and anger, but he would do his best not to show it.

Marcus's eyes kept locked to the floor, but then slowly closed them, "There's nothing to be sorry about..." his tone low and obviously full of pain. Akido's touch sent chills throughout his body.
Marcus opened his eyes and looked into Akido's. "I'm uhh...I'm kind of tired..." he said, nervously scratching that back of his head "I'm going to take a bit of a nap. If you need anything don't be afraid to wake me up." Marcus kicked off his boots, each one making a loud thud as they his the floor. He then laid down on top of the covers, his back to Akido.

Luna quickly shifted into a ball, that looked like a dog's toy and stared at the guy, I wonder what that he is doing here. She realized that she couldn't talk to Cole in this form but if she transformed now she would attract detection to her and Cole. She started to move herself away by rolling to the building and transformed quickly into a board that blended with the wall.

Eve ate her food rather slow but she didn't want to cause herself to get a build up of gas nor did she want to binge and seem like a pig... to a cat. What Evening was thinking she didn't know but for some reason she wanted to act nicely just in case the cat's owner came by.
