Welcome to Gaia! ::

Marcus kept his hands tucked into his jacket pockets and his hood up. "I travel a bit. Only when I really have to though, you know, when I get into trouble. But the cities always feel the same to me, different faces and buildings but nothing new." The reason he would get into trouble varied. It could be he got too comfortable using his powers and because he was careless, he got caught using them. Or just leaving to avoid the police. "I can see myself staying here for a bit though, maybe not permanently, but for awhile."
Marcus looked to the fountain, catching a glimpse of himself in the waters reflection and quickly looked away. He felt awkward around Akido, as he felt around most woman, finding it difficult to make eye contact. Though no one could see how he really looked, he could see his true appearance and it made him self conscious.

"Yeah, I can't say that I plan on becoming part of the staff" He chuckled. "Can't say I'd be a good teacher..." Marcus paused for a moment in thought, "Security might not be so bad..." Marcus shook his head slightly, getting the thought out of his head before he actually considered it. "So what do you plan to do when you leave here. You going back home or just gonna keep with the traveling?" Marcus's eyes were gazing at the flowers as they passed them. He couldn't smell them however, his entire nose was practically removed in the accident. His new -and fake- nose left him with no sense of smell.

Marcus stopped and watched Akido enjoy the flowers. After living in the city for so long, Marcus grew used to the lack of flowers and really didn't care for them much anymore. He couldn't smell them, they were just another plant to him. But when he watched Akido, obviously finding some beauty in them, a bit of a smile formed. But the sudden change in her tone faded that smile, there was some issue with her and home, she made that obvious.
"Well, I suppose that plan doesn't sound too bad..." Marcus couldn't help but notice it sounded alot like what he would do. Though there was some definite differences between Marcus and Akido, their also seemed to be some similarities.

Marcus was a bit amazed as he listened to Akido, she was just so optimistic and full of life, much different then the people Marcus was generally surrounded with. It was then Marcus realized he had completely forgotten about trying to figure her out and had simply been going on a walk. This could be problematic.
Crawling out of his head, he looked over to Akido sitting in the grass. Planting himself down next to Akido with a sigh and folding his legs. "What are you making" He asked looking at what she was crafting then at her.

Marcus grunted in response and inspected the bouquet with his eyes. His mind raced with thoughts of how Akido's appearance didn't match at all with her personality, but Marcus has seen stranger. It was then Marcus gazed down at Akido. Maybe it was the way the sun hit her or just the fact that they were out in the fresh air surrounded by a fantastic garden, but Marcus all at once noticed how beautiful she was. What ever the reason, Marcus didn't like it. Not wanting to stare, Marcus averted his gaze, but not for long. His eyes almost unnaturally drawn to her.

Closing her eyes she snuggled down into the grass, "I love the outdoors." she said in quiet contentment oblivious to the fact Marcus was watching her. Folding her arms behind her head she looked up into the sun for a moment happy that it had lasted this long though part of her knew times like these were brief. The silence didn't bother her as her mind wandered before she opened one eye to look at Marcus with a smile, "I'm boring you to death aren't I? First I make you listen to Biology talk, then I interrupt you nap, now I am dragging you into a garden just because."



It took every ounce of her self control not to say what was on her mind but it couldn't stop her from calling back, "Well they can't be that smart if they can't take out a group of teenage outcasts." Stalking to her room she slammed the door dumping her bag out onto the bed begging not to have a room mate since in her mood she had missed Teddy completely. Digging through until she found a pair of jean cut-offs she slipped them on pulling on her boots afterward. Digging through the bag until she found the black tank top it was tighter across the chest than it used to be but that was a fact of life she had learned to deal with. Still scowling as she laced up her boots she didn't unpack. If everyone at that school was like Luke she'd either have to kill someone or leave.

As BJ laced her boots, a trail of ice slid under the door a note frozen to the end. The note stopped at about eye level in front of her, reading:

Actually they would have killed us. It was the real wolves that saved our asses. That and from what one of them was yelling, the generator thingy broke down at some point. Probably fixed by now though.

Looking up when the ice entered she tried to scowl at it, but it was kind of amusing to see ice work that way. Tying the last knot in the hiking boots she stood up saying through the door, "That's why I am not planning on getting caught. It's not like I am going to ring the bell and run. I just want to take a look." Opening the door she looked out for Luke wondering just where the ice had come from and hoping they were not neighbors. Looking from side to side she wondered the easiest way to get out back. She had a basic idea where the stuff was from the pushy office woman but actually getting there was always different.
