Zahzi just sat in the cafeteria alone as usual, but with a finger in the air. Sparks were coming off of it, giving him illumination as he ate his dinner.
"...Never seems to be anything going according to schedule here..." he said to himself, his eye twitching.

(( Skreemer- no attack >>; The power just went out because of the weather. ))
Tess was chewing on a piece of steak when something was flung towards him, and he barely managed to catch the glimpse of it, before moving to the side. The water burst against the wall, soaking him to the core again, as well as dousing his food in water. A low growl rumbled from his chest and he stood, picking up the soggy meat. There were a few lanterns and some candles playing at the edges of his vision, as well as a boy who seemed to be glowing, but he spotted the standing girl well enough.
Wandering over to the girl, he held up his damp steak, baring his teeth a little. "Do you enjoy ruining peoples' dinners?" Tess asked with a growl. He'd finish eating it, no doubt, but only because he hadn't eaten anything all day. He slapped the meat on the plate he held and his fur bristled as he towered over her.

Marie gasped and backed away from the towering dog-ish figure. The strange lighting only made the encounter much more menacing. "Ah... lo siento, er, I mean, I'm sorry... I really didn't mean too, the light and--" her wet tennis shoes slipped out form under her. Stumping further, she fell into a sitting student and in her fall grapped at anything to stop her.
Ending up in this person lap, hands gripping, Marie got a good look at whom she was clutching.
Logan.

Logan had sat up to watch peoples' reactions, the mood of the cafeteria having turned calm somewhat while the Headmistress worked on getting things organized. More lights were being put up, though it was still pretty dark in the large room.
"Make sure you finish your meals, everyone! We'll have escorts to the dorms after everyone's finished eating!" Headmistress Sarah was keeping order... and then some disorder caught Logan's eye as he watched something hurtle at a figure in a corner... ah, the wolf boy Tess was going after the person... a girl from what he could see, nearby. And then he heard a familiar voice apologizing for something she obviously didn't do, as the dog-boy was still talking to the other female figure who had assaulted him.
As soon as his eyes had shifted to her, Marie slipped and landed in his lap. He was too stunned to think much of anything, let alone try and make sure she wasn't touching bare skin... And then things clicked into place when she looked at him, and he took a note of her hands... clutching his torso and a shoulder... inches from skin touching... and then someone near them nudged him a little, and the flush of his cheeks that had been turning a bright red quickly faded into a sickly pale.
Logan could feel the first onslaught of memories... His eyes were glazing a bit as they looked at something distant... And then he was fighting the memories, forcing them out of his head. He didn't want to know those things... they weren't his memories... not his, but Marie's... Well, some of them he might want to know later on, but not this way! With as much strength he could muster, and in a rather short amount of time, he pushed the memories from his head.
It was difficult- like pushing against a brick wall.... and then it stopped. He had his own brick wall in place, and he was gasping softly and sweating a bit from the exhaustion it brought him. Despite it all, Logan found himself resting his forehead against Marie's shoulder, one of his hands comfortingly resting a hand on her hip since, after all, she did fall into his lap and clutch onto him from fear.
"M-Marie... I've... I'm... blocking... them..." Logan mumbled, his mind still very pressured, but he fought to keep the wall there, fortifying it as much as he could. "I... don't know how.... but I'm blocking your memories...." his voice trailed off a little.

Marie's eyes widened in disbelief as she lay there. she wanted to jump up and away, but the atmosphere of the room and the current stress made her freeze up against Logan.
"M-Marie... I've... I'm... blocking... them..." Logan mumbled, as he seemed to be fighting with himself. "I... don't know how.... but I'm blocking your memories...." his voice trailed off a little.
Marie clicked for a moment, forgetting about Tess and thought quickly. She couldn't jump off of him without breaking his concentration of making it worse. Swiftly, Marie pulle dher sweatshirt sleeves over her hands, taking his from her hip with one and pulling her hood up with the other so her hair of neck didn't touch him. She gently and slowly moved from her lap holding the one hand still and using the other to help support his head as she removed him from her shoulder. She wanted to be away form him as soon as possible without making it any harder for him.
"Are you okay....? Logan? Stay with me... I'm getting away from you okay? Don't hurt yourself... if you feel faint tell me..." Marie spoke softly as she was almost on her feet, hugging him a bit to get her balance but being sure her sweatshirt protected him from her.

Logan's brows furrowed a bit as he continued to focus. Eventually, he felt Marie covering her skin and shifting away from him. Out of his lap... and then there wasn't any pressure anymore. It was so surprisingly sudden, he gave a low gasp, his eyes opening. And then his head swam. He made a low noise, though there was a definite grin spreading across his lips. "I... feel like I'll pass out if I get up anytime soon... but.... I did it, Marie.... I could block them...." his eyes shut tight as he tried shifting a little.
He could feel that she was on her feet again, and he lifted a hand and gently nudged her hands away- not at all in a harsh manner that might say 'Get away!' He was still grinning, even as he leaned forwards and rested his arms back on his jacket, burying his face and waiting for the dizziness to stop. The deep thrum of a headache was starting to bloom, but those he could handle. Finally, he took a deep breath and lifted his head again, peeking his eyes open to look at her. "All I got... was a boring trip, and a small conversation during a meal. Not that I can understand it..." He wouldn't let his grin fade.

Candice stood with a flashlight up to her face shivering with fright. Her knees locked and a picture of fear on her face. "Why me!? I hate the dark!" She bellowed loudly sitting on her bed and grabbing Shirotabi and hugging him. "I want my mommy!" Candice pulled the blankets over her head and turned on the flashlight that was shaped like a rabbit's head at the end. She poked her head out every now and than crying every time she saw it was in fact still dark.
A scared to death Candice bravely stood up squeezing the pet tight and walked over her door opening it slowly and looking out into the hall starting to cry again. "There not even any light from the vending machines or the street lamps around the campus." Candice whispered crying again.

The rest of Will's day had been a large blur, whether because he was tired or bored, he wasn't sure. He was now in the cafeteria and had been napping when the screams sounded. The cafeteria was dark, and something large and furry seemed to have come in through the door. The musician put his head down again. He was still tired. Woe to the one that woke him up.

Marie was finally able to release him, relying on his gestures to do so. If he were to pass out, she would have try to protect him from hittin ghis head of falling out of her chair. That was the reasoning for holding onto him.
Now he seemed pained, but okay. That big grin on his face in the dim lighting made her face redden and her heart skip a moment. "Well, you know... you didn't really have to do that... I mean, I have nothing to hid, really," Marie voice trailed away with a loss of strength.
"Should I get you some pain killers, or maybe, at least, some more tea?" Marie said more purposfully, over riding anything else she had said a moment ago.

"I'd rather you tell me about your life then to pick it up through my mutation." Logan murmured, the edges of his grin fading lightly. "It's not nice to force your way into knowing someones' past... and it's just plain rude that I can by just simply touching someone." His eyes examined her a little, trying to tell the time between the memories and how old she was now. It was a match, and he sighed in relief that he'd only taken in some recent memories- maybe a month up to a few, ago.
At the offer of tea and pain killers, Logan shifted to sit up. His head throbbed more but he ignored it and paused to let the dizziness pass. "I've got my own pain killers with me... however... another cup of tea would be nice." He looked to the cup at the edge of his jacket on the table, noting it empty. "Maybe you should get something for yourself? Have you had dinner yet?" He was still practically shining with his accomplishment, but traces of his weariness were quickly returning. A hand shifted to rub at a throbbing temple.

Marie nodded at his reasoning. "I'm glad you're developing... going through a life without touch can do alot of things to a person." Marie remeber Psychology and how touch was not pyhsical, but actually psychogical... your growth hormones studed and depression and many chemicals that are realized in your brain from touch that you need for a healthy life.
"Yes, I am hungry... I'll go get me something and get you some tea while I'm up." Marie nodded a bit embaressed and walked to the line up that was deserted of people. She got cold foods for herself, a sandwhich and salad, even though she knew she need hot foods. Marie was soaked tot he bone and the cooler room made her shiver a bit. It not like there was anything she could do though. After she ate she woulg go back to her room and take a hot shower... if the power would come on soon.
The tea was still nice and hot though in the thick thema machine that held hot water, hot chocolate, and other warm drinks like apple cider and such. Marie got herself a hot chocolate and returned to Logan, sitting diagonally from him like before and using the sleves of her sweat shirt to cover her hands as she picked up his tea and placed it before him.

Logan watched Marie head off, and while she was getting food and such, some candles were brought over to the area. The cafeteria was relatively well illuminated, now. Rubbing his eyes a little as the light worsened his headache, he pulled out his pain killers and snagged two, closing his eyes and burying his face in his hand to wait for Marie to return. He could feel sweat on his forehead.
"Ah- thank you." Logan murmured as he heard Marie sit and watched her hand over some tea. He smiled at her and blew at the tea, taking small sips before taking enough of a drink to swallow his pain killers. It was rather hot, but he could let his mouth cool in a moment. When both pills were down, he sighed softly and let himself relax a little. He glanced up as the lights flickered on for a few moments, before going out again with a chorus of 'Aww!' from students all around.
A wince had been given with the light, but Logan was back to relaxing in the dark. "Seems like they didn't check the backup generators before the storm blew in." He murmured to Marie, taking a light sip of tea.

"Well, they are running an island full of mutant kids... things are bound to be over looked," Marie laughed. she shivered as the air conditioning came back on. She sat, slipping at she hot chocolate a moment, warming herself up slowly. Sighing audibly form the warmth, Marie began to eat her food.
"With days liek this happening in the beginning, this is going to be one crazy year."
Marie's food soon dissappeared. Despite the Hot chocolate she was getting colder and colder feeling. She ate faster so the sooner she could get into dry clothes and fight any sickness that might come onto her. She shivered more as she started to get up to take her tray to the washing area. "Need me to t-take any of your finished things?" she attempted to say warmly.

Logan idly worked on his tea while watching Marie and the other students near them. "Crazy, indeed." he murmured with a flit of a larger smirk. He was already having trouble comprehending some of the things that had already happened, let alone what would happen later on. As Marie got up to take her tray to where it could be washed, he noted the chattering tone of her question.
Frowning, Logan slowly shifted to stand, shaking his head a little. He'd had enough time that the dizziness wasn't overwhelming. "You sit and I'll take our stuff up. Here- wear this." he nudge his jacket over to her, knowing he wouldn't have a place to rest on the table after she touched it, but at least she wouldn't be as cold. "I'll get some more to drink for us, too." he winked lightly and leaned over, snagging her tray from her and picking up his cup in a gloved hand in the process.
"I'll be back momentarily, Miss Marie." Logan smiled lightly at her before carefully making his way over to accomplish his tasks, after pulling up his face mask to block out the wafts of body perfume from the people he would pass. The pain killers had kicked in, though he was still wary, achy, and had to concentrate a little to keep his balance. He busted Marie's tray, before going over and getting himself some more tea, and her some more hot coco. It wouldn't be good if she caught a cold...
Making his way back, he yawned a bit and let it out with a bit of a sigh, setting her drink in front of her. "Good thing they're still hot." he murmured tiredly, but with the smile still in his tone.

Marie looked at the jacket a moment before tenativly taking it and wrapping herself in it. She was a little more dry and the jacket was helping keep in her body heat that was being sucked out by wet clothes.
Marie watched the rain out the window quietly as she waited for Logan's return. When he did, she smiled, blushing despite her chills, and sipped at the warm liquid. "I'm glad. This will do until the rain lets up a bit more. I need to change my clothes... a nice hot shower would be nice... and my blanket covered bed. Its been a long day. I'm sure you're tired too."
Marie wrapped the jacket tighter in her and blushed a bit as she did so, smelling his smell in the appearal.
