“I’m not very creative so I don’t think I’ll be very much help with coming up with a name.” Terra said sheepishly. She stared down at her plate while she thought, but nothing came to her. She was about to quit brainstorming for now and continue eating when an idea came to her. It wasn’t huge and she didn’t have a good feeling about it or anything, but it was an idea. “You speak Spanish, right Marie?” She paused for a moment as if she was going to wait for a reply, but then she continued, “Is there any words in Spanish that relates to our powers that would sound good together?”

Mal laughed a little and stroked Lucy's neck, shrugging.
"Lucy's the only real home I've ever had," he said. "Sure, I've lived in the same place practically my whole life, but I never felt at home there. She's really the only friend I had and that's what my home was." Shaking his head he sighed. "I think of this place as a refuge from the crazybin." He paused for a moment, thinking, then turned back to Sergey.
"I've always been a freak," he said. "I've always been afraid for people to see me because of the way I look and the things I can do. Coming here and seeing people like you and Tess was a good thing for me. I feel more at home here than I did where I used to live and probably because of you." He looked Sergey in the eye and smiled at him. "I know you didn't do much," he continued. "But thanks." Smiling even more, he laughed a little. "Just....thanks."
((sorry for the wait. my internet's been wonky))

Lite emerged from his room; with him came an enormous amount of smoke that wouldn't seem possible to most. Just because he was at school again this year, it wouldn't stop him from actually smoking, rather than being Smokey. Though he usually waited until after the initial first days, Lite had forgotten that it was, in fact, the first day. He had had enough to give him a comfortable high while still having much left over. Though in the process of him hot boxing his dorm he had somehow forgotten he took off his shirt and wasn't aware of his status as he toured the dormitories and eventually started walking around campus once again. It wasn't too much to think that he'd already forgotten where he was, but he had absolutely no clue about anything other than his newly refurbished desire for food and adventure. He looked to his shoulder, and somehow the gecko had remained unaffected from the entire situation. The only difference was Bear suddenly talking back to Lite in discussion, though no-one else could hear him.
"Bear! Look over there, a dragon of ultimate doom! We must avenge our fallen allies!" Lite exclaimed to Bear. "It's time for Smokey and the Bear to take out the foes of humanity!" Lunging towards a tree, Lite readied himself as if he were a knight from the medieval ages. Bear spoke wisely in response, "You idiot! What are you trying to do, get us killed? That's not a dragon. What are you, beyond all reasonable definition of stupid!? That's obviously a hydra! Can't you see the multiple heads?" The two of them argued extensively as to whether the tree in fact was one or the other mythological creature. Not two minutes later Lite had climbed the tree, trying to slay it with his fists. "Damn you, you behemoth. Release the princess!"

((Meh, I guess I missed the entire group interaction...))
He thought about the reason for the team divisions, when Huilliame came up with a logical answer. All of them exchanged glances, each wondering about the others. Suddenly Huilliame flashed a bright pink. Well, I guess we all know his power now. Huilliame, apparently outspoken in a good way, then suggested the group all demonstrate their powers. He had obviously already displayed his power, though he continued to change skin tones. Aki then displayed her manipulation of cold. Okay, nothing too unusual. Candice finally revealed the nature of her power when urged too. That's really unique, though I don't feel abnormally attracted to her right now. Maybe I'll ask about that later... Aki then chilled the room rapidly, which made them all a tad uncomfortable until she loosened her grip on the temperature.
Through this, Matthew had remained relatively silent, intruiged by by their abilities. Besides, he was never one to show his powers unless requested; he felt it was 'showing off.' Since nobody asked, aside from when Candice had before the other joined them, he didn't mention it.
Candice then requested a picture be taken of them. Matt looked toward the photographer as she took a step back from them. He chose not to smile, merely showing a straight face. Because of Huilliame's explanation, the group picture was put on hold. It was then that Matthew remembered the issue of team names, "Hey, I think the headmistress said we were supposed to pick a team name. So, any thoughts?"

As the rays of the sun faded ((A.Correct me if I'm wrong, please)), and at that moment, a helicopter found its way to the helipad of Yamori Island. As soon as the blades of the machine stopped turning, the door on the right opened up to perpetual darkness, out of which a suitcase fell, followed by Mark Anders, in all of his anti-glory, stepping out.
"Thanks for gettin' me here, and have a safe trip back to the mainland," He said to he gathered up his stuff and walked out of the way. As the chopper took off and away, Mark looked towards the sunset ((B. See A.)), he trenchcoat waving in the wind as he listened to a nearly century old rock song on his Mp3 player. As the breeze left, he pulled a map out of his coat pocket and glanced at it before putting it back. He started walking towards the rest of the buildings as he remarked," I love this place already! ... Dorm C, Multis... beautiful..."
Adjusting his glasses and tightening his cap, Mark walked the halls in search of his room. He reached a door with a large "26" stamped onto it, and he walked in. There were several boxes on the oposite wall, all with "Mark Anders's Stuff" written on them. This was the right place. He almost immediately collapsed onto his bed, and as the sounds of "Hotel California" ringed out of the Mp3, Mark powered it down and put it into his pocket. He dropped his backpack on the floor and removed the map again, doing a quick search for the cafeteria.
" Stupid airplane packing peanuts," he mumbled as he put the map back and left the room, locking it behind him. "I hope this place has something decent to eat..." he continued as he walked the lawn, wondering what they could possibly be feeding the students.

"Why not..." Candice put her finger to her lip and had an expression of over thinking. "why, I know! Why not the bunny rabbits?" She smiled. "Because we're cute and cuddly, but if you get peanut butter stuck on your hand, we'll rip your skin off." She laughed. "I was just kidding, why not the extremely awesome cool kids with great hair." She smiled.
Candice pulled her hat off. "I am not sure what a good name would be." She thought for a few moments before the best word she could think of came to mind. "Why not team styrke, that's German for strength."

Not long after the fight between Sergey and Tess ended, Sam overheard some kids deep in conversation.
"...and apparently, she just collapsed without warning."
"Really? Yikes..."
"Didn't that just happen?"
"Yeah; they just got her to the infirmary a few minutes ago."
Something made him feel uneasy about their discussion. He strode over to where the boys were talking and asked, "What are you talking about?"
One of the kids responded, "I don't know her myself, but they said her name was Aya or something."
Aya! "Thanks." Sam darted toward the main doors of the cafeteria, but stopped dead in his tracks, remembering Rozen. "Oh," he said to no-one in particular, "I hope he's not mad at me." He walked to Rozen's side. "Sorry I kept you waiting, Rozen. Come on, I'll take you to our dorm, but then I have to go check on something."

Aki shrugged. "Works for me, I don't particularly care one way or the other." she said, silently relieved she could escape the picture for now. She didn't have much to offer, nothing they would understand anyway. Rabid turtles... Cheezits... But that's just begging to be struck by lightning, and I doubt they'd go for it... she thought, smiling faintly. Her few friends had been one of a kind, and completly crazy.

As soon as Mark strode into the cafeteria, all doubts he had about the food there had vanished, just by smelling the place. He practically ran to the line, and one bowl of chicken fettuccine alfredo and a bottle of water later, and he was a very happy camper. Finding a seat at the nearest empty seat at the nearest empty table, he bagen to eat. 'I'll introduce myself later,' thought Mark as he ate,' Or maybe someone else'll greet me. Either works for me... food first though...'
'Of course, I wonder what they're all talking about,' came to mind as he glanced around. He heard some stuff about team names and someone passing out, none of which seemed out of the ordinary anymore, especially not here. If Mark wasn't the halfway decent kid he was now, he would've tried to see what they were thinking, try to get a grip on this place at the snap of a finger. But he knew he wasn't able to do that just yet, and moreover, that would be cheating.
"Of course it'd be cheating... I bet we're all being tested right this minute. I bet this alfredo's a test..." Mark stared at his food for a short time, then chuckled to himself. " Maybe I'm just ridiculous and paranoid. Yeah, that's probably it..." 'But then again, I look around, and everything seems ridiculous now...' Sighing lightly, he took another sip of water and continued eating.

Harmony listened to Alwyn's suggestions. When she was down, Harmony brightly smiled. " That idea can work! Hm, either one of those could work..." She commented, putting her finger to her chin to think. " Sib, strong invisible bubble or an abriviation for sibling." Harmony mummbled just barely clear enough for the other two to hear. It was somewhat of a thought out loud and somewhat of a suggestion, using Alwyn's idea.

"I only like rabbits if they're in a gumbo." Huilliame said reverting to the usual blue. "No offense by the way but strength dosent exactly look like our teams characteristic. Anyway, outside my powers I'm a musician, a hunter and a cook. The first one I picked up at the Darwin Institute, the others from my cousins Hercule and Cedrique. I spend my leisure time playing Doom 4 and practicing drums, bass or banjo. Or playing pranks." He shrugged after that and pulled out a dried fruit bar that he started chewing on.

Candice turned a ghostly pale white. "Wh-What, you eat, RABBITS!" She said covering her eyes not to show tears. "That's awful how could you do that?!" She yelled sadly before fainting and falling to the ground.

Huilliam now felt really bad. He had made a team mate pass out. He turned a sullen black before his eyes darted around the room, looking for a quick exit or a distraction. No good.
"Uh.... I can honestly say no ones ever had that reaction before." He guessed he'd be reviled by the others for this.

"I got nothing against that. I'm not all that great a creative thinker, so."
Riley shrugged. Thinking "outside the box" was never his style. He just did what he had to do to get by. And that was that. He shrugged, leaning forward on his chair. His hands hung at his side, though, just as a precaution.

"This is going to be difficult. I mean, our powers vary greatly, their only similarity the fact that they're all dealing with the five senses," sighed Lois.
He sighed, running a hand through his hair in thought. What else did they have in common? Man, I'm like brain dead!
