He supposed it didn't matter how she had got to be doing better so much as she was doing better. She wasn't acting anxious either, so he really doubted this Abel guy had done anything bad to her. looking Cheza over with his dull and human senses showed nothing new was out of order. He was a bit dismayed at how she had chosen to dress though. He had told her to try and layer as much of her belongings on her person as she could so that she could take them with her. The blue scrubs she was wearing were clothes given to her for lab experiments. He sighed internally. He supposed he knew starting off that it was a lot to ask of her.
Noticing the card in her hands he immediately recognized it as the same type of swipe card that the mad scientists used to open cells and get into restricted areas. Curious he slid it out of her hand and turned it over, examining it. It had her number on it, but also a second number. He owuld have been puzzled if Lexillia hadn't just been talking about the dorms. It had to have been the room key to Cheza's living quarters. It was likely important that Cheza didn't lose hers then, as she likely would if she just carried it in her hand. She dropped things all the time. Smiling fondly he reached over and slipped the card into the breast pocket of Cheza's blue scrub shirt.
Hearing Lexi speak he looked over to to where she was crouching. Hesitant, he stared at her visibly weighing his options before shaking his head. There was just so much he didn't trust about freakish power and he was unwilling to let a stranger get as far into his safe 'area' as healing implied. It was his body and it pointless to keep fixing something that would keep falling apart anyway.
"I don't want it. I uh, I'm sorry for your loss." he spoke awkwardly, not really knowing what to do about her admitting something as personal as her own struggle. He found it immensely sad that so much of her life had been taken from her.
Standing up with his hands on his knees, he pulled at his arms and stretched mildly before turning to help Cheza get up. She already had her hands held out for him expectantly and he smirked as he grabbed hold and pulled lightly. Cheza glided almost gracefully to her feet. She didn't really need his help, but it was almost something of a routine now.
"There's a pool here, Chez. Let's go swim." Letting go of one of her hands,he began to step away from the group only to be stopped by Cheza pulling him unexpectedly short. Jeez that was a rudely strong yank. She acted all feathery and dainty but when it came down to it she knew how to use her weight.
"No."One curt word as he should know better. He gave her an exaggeratedly puzzled look, asking for her to explain her craziness.

xxxxxx"I know more about you than you do..." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"...because I watch you all the time!"
Michael was staring at her oddly and Cheza had to work hard not to reach up and squish his face into a more appropriate expression. She didn't get why he was so confused. Or maybe annoyed. She couldn't decide but both were the wrong answers. For a fraction of a millimeter his eyes flicked down and before they his orbs had flicked back up she had already analyzed and decided his meaning.
"The tour's not over. If we leave he'll lose his job because we're the only tourists."
"He's not going to--" He pulled again, insistent. She tightened her grip denying his escape.
"We can't." her voice was firm, and her face was somewhat flushed revealing that i don't know what but she was getting worked up. As she talked her tone remains steady but Micheal was quickly clued in to her ruffled state.
"That's against rules and if we break the rules then there will be consequences and we'll be--!?" Michael had reached up and pinched her nose closed, startling her. Backing up and letting go of him she opened her mouth to continue what she was saying when he reached up with his freed hand and started rubbing her cheeks, squishing them under his palms like bread dough.
"Shushushush you. I want to go on a tour. How about we follow the nice man on his stupid tour?" His face showed he was exasperated, but she closed her mouth and he removed his hands from her face. Looking contemplating, she nodded. She supposed she wouldn't have to have a meltdown right then after all. Content, she shuffled over to Abel's side in her clean and dry socks and Mikey followed after, rolling his eyes when he thought she wouldn't see. She saw.
The tour went without a hitch. Micheal got his own card which was great because she forgot what she did with her card. She was too busy watching Mikey to really notice, He was smiling but she knew he was annoyed with her again. He was nearly fuming with...not so much anger but impatience? That rang right. She couldn't care though, because there was nothing practical that she could do for him. It still bothered her though. She squished it down in the back of her mind where it wouldn't get in the way.
Instead she analyzed the environment around her. The more she saw the more she could calculate and compile on her data. She knew just about the timeline (20 years) that this place had been constructed, and the more rooms she was shown the better idea she had of an exact gas volume the building contained. During all this, Mikey got his card and trudged all about, seeming particularly peeved when they passed by the pool with only a cursory explanation, but otherwise he was quite intrigued by the blue haired woman. Or more particularly a mark low on her waist. It was partly hidden but kept peeking every time the towel loosened as they walked.
As Abel walked off, Cheza began to follow, happy as can be, but Michael grabbed her shoulder gently turning her to face him.
"The tour ended." She gave him a weird look like he was crazy, but reviewed the man's body language anyway. It seemed that way...but it could have not been over. He didn't say for sure. She glances, quick as a whip around at everyone standing around. Abel was already out of sight but no one was making a move to follow.
"But the elevator just opened he needs to give another tour." She announced matter-of-fact. She decided she must have overheard it earlier because they were near the gym now. It had just come to mind just then.
♬♪♭She tensed as Micheal spoke, but only nodded her head. With that she stood up give them a smile as Abel in his normal monotoned voice told them it was time to finish the tour. Knowing he would be taking them back to the Pool, she tagged along. Lexi knew that Sean would follow at his own pace, so when they reached it, she didn't hesitate as soon as they were all leaving, to strip off the towel, and dive into the water. Cutting it cleanly with little splashing. As she kicked towards the bottom of the pool, she felt her lungs burn slightly from not taking a deep breath before entering into the water.
♬♪♭So when her hands touched the bottom of the pool, she rolled her body so that her butt bumped the bottom lightly before curling her legs up under her and pushing her self to the surface in one smooth movement. As soon as she broke the surface of the water, Lexi took in a very deep breath while throwing her body back, so she could float on the water. Her teal gaze on the ceiling above, thinking about having to do her 'testing' tonight and it having to be 'attack' mode. The president in her mind was a flipping sadist, always trying to harm her. Even if Lexi knew that part of it was her defiance to him, in more then one area. To her the only salvation would be that Micheal would be there to help do damage control. At that thought she let out a small sigh, her body relaxing as she began to lightly kick her legs to propel her body through the chlorinated water.

Sean Nomikaze, Exerpiment #11
Feeling a bit brushed off at Lexillia's actions, especially her ignoring he just swatted her back side, Sean just watched as she talked to Micheal. Raising his eyebrows while he was interaction with the girl named Cheza. The whole time just wondering how things were going to change with the new additions that were trickling in a bit faster then normal on a release day. When Micheal rejected Lexi's help, Sean started to open his mouth to say something when Abel spoke up, directing them to continue the tour. Causing him to step back out of the groups way, as he watched them file past, Lexi with the group. Deciding to give Lexi her space, Sean made his way into the Common room, plopping down on the far couch so he was able to see anyone passing by the doorway.
It wasn't too long afterwards when he saw Abel return with them, giving them the final low down on what his exact job was, making a small smirk curve his lips, before he walked away. Giving a small chuckle as he heard the interactions of the two younger ones, while Nacht remained stoic and silent. Though he stood up when he heard mention of the elevator doors opening. Not really sure what to do, since Abel had gone down toward the dorm rooms for his own reasons. But he knew that Cheza and Micheal didn't belong anywhere near the Elevators, or the staff that were bringing down the others would take it as a major act of disobiedence which would be punished more severely then what Abel could do. Giving a slightly annoyed 'Tsking' sound as he walked across the common room, leaning against the door frame.
Letting his dark eyes take in the site of Cheza making her way to a girl dressing in a lot of pink, with a cup in her hand. Narrowing his eyes a bit before pushing away from frame of the door, Sean made his way quickly with his long leg strides past Micheal, then Cheza. Placing himself between the new girl, or rather young woman and Cheza. "Hello! I am Sean Nomikaze or if you prefer experiment #11. You just missed the tour and it's guide. Uh, if you don't mind would you like to follow me to the common area? I mean until he comes back this way? As for you two, it would be prudent if you didn't hang around the elevator. The staff wont like it, and they are always watching and listening to us." he said, his voice dropping a few octaves on the last sentences with massive disdain coloring his voice. All the while pointing up towards the ceiling at a very obvious camera that was pointed in their direction with a red blinking light telling them that it was recording as they spoke.

xxxxxx"You yourself have to change first..." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"...or nothing will change for you."
Lexi had left and Sean had been in the common room for a bit. Cheza was staring at a painting hung above the bland looking couch with a puzzled look. Beside her was an impatient Mikey. He didn't get what was so interesting to her about a dumb painting. It was abstract art, and very colorful in its shapes and motion. To him it looked a bit like technocolor trees. He appreciated abstract art the same way he would have been appreciating the random shapes of clouds could he have the chance again to visit the open air. He wanted to know what Cheza saw in the piece.
"I wonder who painted it." He looked. It wasn't signed; at least not on the front. Cheza wasn't giving hints either.
"It's sure weird looking." Another attempt brought moderate success.
"It is. I'm not sure how many brush strokes it took. The layers are confusing." So that was her hang-up about it.
"Its not actual paint. It's not an original."And he should know, he was the one who practiced drawing. "It was printed on the canvas. That's why it has a uniform texture" He smiled warmly at her, feeling smart for teaching her something new.
"It looks like your vomit on the boat. That had a uniform texture." Mikey gave a strange look at her answer before rolling his eyes, amused. Well, at least he knew where she stood on that issue of artistic impressions.
Sean had gotten up a few minutes ago and was staring down the hall. When he started talking, Mikey looked away from the painting and stepped back into the middle of the room with a scowl.
"Don't tell me what to do. You're just as much a prisoner as us." He sneered, before his own curiosity took hold. Moving to stand behind Sham Kamikaze, he stared out towards the elevator, keeping himself as hidden from view as possible. A woman was kneeling down to pick a small cup up, something that he himself had not noticed lying there when he entered this new broom closet of a living space. She had a familiar face, and he had to smile that they had sent her down. Cheza too seemed to be curious, perhaps she had caught his reaction, but quickly she moved to stand in front of them, straight in the unconcealed middle of the door frame. Their cover was blown!
As soon as they were noticed, Micheal moved to disguise that he had been hiding. Gently pushing Cheza, they both walked out of the common room and to the middle of the hallway. Cheza wasn't so much looking at the Woman as she was, well, staring off dazely towards her, eyes flicking around. Micheal opened his mouth to speak, but his thoughts failed him, Instead, he shrugged and began pushing Cheza again, deciding that he didn't want to be talking to her in front of that Jerk anyway. With a grunt of a greeting, he and Cheza began a leisurely shuffle back towards the pool.
"And you can shut up about your precious numbers. I'm sure /she/ of all people has had it up to here with your stupid numbers." He nodded to the red headed foreigner whom he distinctly remembered had taken at least five tranq darts to make sure they had an inch of safety. Breathing calmly with relief, he put his arm around Cheza's shoulders in a brotherly way, another social motion that his friend did not reciprocate and continued shuffling down the hall towards the pool. If one was perceptive enough, they might catch on to Mikey relaxing a bit now that there was someone trustworthy nearby.
"There's a pool this way. Cheza said she wanted to go swim. I guess you are invited, too." He called back to the woman with an uncaring façade. He wasn't going to look back again. He was too cool to look back.

Nadia Kozerski #23
Mood: Getting steadily more cheerful Accent: Normal, very light and perfectly understandable Language: English Glass: Still half full
"I spoke out for those whose voices were not heard when they spoke for themselves..."
Nadia’s attention was drawn from the cup she was holding to a young man nearby, another like herself, who was introducing himself. She gave a small nod in greeting, a gentle and friendly smile curling her lips as she chose to ignore that he introduced himself by name and number, focusing merely on his name. It was certainly an interesting one in her opinion, she’d met a few Sean’s before but Sean Nomikaze just seemed like a strange combination.
However she didn’t let herself dwell on that very long, he’d said something about a tour and that she’d missed it. Well that didn’t seem very fair, just more proof of how poorly the scientists planned ahead. Left to their own devices they probably wouldn’t have sent her down for another half hour or more. But according to him there was in fact hope of catching the guide later, which would seem to imply the one who had given the tour was also one of them.
She was about to ask if he might be able to give her a tour himself but he was still speaking, addressing someone she had yet to see. Glancing in the direction he spoke she caught sight of the children, her smile brightening to see they were unharmed and appeared to be doing all right considering all that had likely happened to them that day.
She could tell Michael was trying to not be seen and so she looked back to Sean and pretended she hadn’t noticed them until they walked towards her, Michael pushing Cheza along. She couldn’t help but chuckle at his defiant attitude towards Sean, though his point was valid she chose to believe that Sean was only trying to be helpful.
Her kind eyes landed on Michael again as he seemed about to tell her something, but then he changed his mind and simply turned down the hall instead. Again she laughed quietly to herself, the pair seemed completely adorable to her.
She was a little concerned about how distracted Cheza seemed, but then when she compared that with how responsive the girl usually was she realized she was actually doing surprisingly well. She hoped this was because of Michael and not because someone had harmed her, as they knew they weren’t supposed to do. Briefly she glanced up at the camera that had been pointed out before, as if warning whoever was watching that she would find out about such things.
Once again her attention returned to Michael as he and Cheza walked down the hall and he delivered a parting quip to Sean that caused her smile to return with an almost mischievous quality. So he did in fact know at least something of her, in fact she thought he seemed to relax just a little bit though to think that was from her presence was probably just vanity.
Now she opened her mouth to finally respond to Sean but was interrupted by Michael as he mentioned a pool and invited her to join them though he didn’t look at her. Ah but of course, he was at that age wasn’t he? The age where it was important to be cool like that, the thought made her smile again and once more she looked to Sean to answer him.
Finally no one interrupted her and she was able to speak, holding out her hand in greeting. “Nice to meet you, I’m Nadia Kozerski. A tour does sound nice, but I believe I’ve been invited to the pool, perhaps I could wait for this mysterious tour guide there?” she suggested, already starting to move in the direction the children had gone, though she remained facing Sean while she spoke to him.
"...Now I have become one of them and my voice has only grown stronger."
Sean blinked his eyes lazily as he watched the girl, interest showing as she seemed to be taking things as a easy pace. Though he let his violet colored orbs narrow at Micheal, with a small shake of his head. The boy would either be one of his good buddies or an annoying pest that he loathed to be around. Which would not bode well for him with Lexi. At that though Sean let a small sigh escape his lips, before lifting a hand to run it through his unkempt hair. There was so much he had to watch and wait for, the biggest was his plan to get the hell out of there. But he was watched just as diligently as the stealth types, since his ability let him be a hacker that was damn near untrackable. Meaning he was kept away from anything that had electricity rushing through it, that was exposed enough for him to jack into.
Coming back to himself, silently cursing in his mind for letting it wander, Sean watched as young lady smiled fondly at the two young ones that were heading Lexi's way. Making him smile since Lexi probably wasn't expecting anyone to interrupt her swimming. But then again, Lexi loved kids and even still dreamed about having a family of her own, of course on her terms. When the young lady focused back on him, introducing herself as Nadia. Sean pushed away from the wall taking the three or so odd steps towards her. Grasping her hand and giving it a firm shake as she finished speaking. Tilting his head to the side in mock contemplation, allowing a playful smile to curve his lips, Sean just gave a nod of his head in the direction the two younger ones had gone. "I don't see why not! I mean I was originally gonna swim when Micheal happened upon Lexi, the Mr. Wolf popped up. And I am sure that the tour guide, Abel is his name, will find you. Cause I have no doubt that there might be more newbians coming down. He wasn't happy that you guys were released one at a time, then in a mass rush."
After he finished talking, Sean gave a small bark like laugh at the thought of Abel actually seething in his room. There was no possibility at all that he would be doing that, since the man never seemed to show any of his emotions. To Sean, Abel was a mentor since he was a first generation, a friend though he was sure the man didn't see it that way and lastly a rival, though he probably didn't know it. Or hell if he did, why he was, cause as far as he was concerned, Abel had never done anything other then be his self around Lexi, to make her like him. "This way my fair lady Nadia! The pool awaits our fun! Also you can meet Lexillia, she is well.. you get to see for yourself." Sean spake again with a foppish grin on his face, before he started down the hall skipping lightly.

Lexillia 'Lexi' O'Conners Experiment #13
♬♪♭Loosing track of time as well as how many laps she had done, Lexillia continued her swimming. Using various strokes to glide easily through the water as her mind continued to wander down the various paths. Each though being analyzed and filed for a later time. At least until it came upon certain people, making her flush dark red in the cheeks. She realized that Sean was being possessive in his actions when he had spun her around with a swat to her back side. He wasn't like that except for rare occasions, knowing that she didn't like it at all.
♬♪♭Rolling onto her back, Lexillia puffed up her cheeks in irritation that was slow to rise, but would never reach anger. Before her mind slipped to the two knew children, making her heart feel heavy. She knew what it was like to be there at that age, it sucked. But that the two seemed to be close and rely on each other, made her somewhat happy. Giving a snort as her mind tried to focus on the next person, Nacht, who didn't seem to stand out, but had a particular aura around him. She was sure she would be able to get along with him, that there was more to him then most thought at a glance. With that she chuckled until the next person popped into her head.
♬♪♭Red hair handing slightly into red eyes, Lexillia became very still, just floating on the water. She knew she had made a idiotic a** of herself in front of him. Growling audibly as she suddenly rolled her body, so her face was in the water, where she screamed her own self inflicted frustration. Once done, she straightened her body so she was treading the water with her legs in a up right position. Her back to the entrance to the pool, Lexillia summoned her power in a small amount to her. Allowing herself to feel the small vibration signatures that sound gave off in everything. Focusing it, she placed her hands on the waters surface, willing it to become a physical field under her hands.
♬♪♭As soon as it became a solid barrier between her hands and the waters surface, Lexillia lifted herself up and out of the water into a hand stand. Precarious as it was, she continued to manipulate it through her whole body. Once she felt it shielding her body like a barrier, she let her legs drop so that her feet were resting above the water. Closing her eyes and syncing her breathing with the small movement in the waters surface, Lexi began to right herself until she was standing on the water, albeit a bit wobbly. Then with eyes still closed so she maintained perfect concentration, she started to go through a simplistic martial arts kata, each movement slow, percise and like a dance.
Mood: Getting steadily more cheerful Accent: Normal, very light and perfectly understandable Language: English Glass: Still half full
"I spoke out for those whose voices were not heard when they spoke for themselves..."
When Sean had grasped her hand Nadia had smiled at his firm handshake, hers matching it. Since she was a little girl she’d always been taught the importance of a proper handshake. Not too tight, not too loose, it was the second thing you were judged on the first being your appearance. A limp handshake spoke volumes about a person, it marked him or her as weak either physically or mentally or both, probably not someone you would want to depend on a great deal. Likewise one too tight implied arrogance, someone who desires too much to be in control and show just how powerful s/he is, not the kind of person you want to work with most likely. No it was the Goldy Locks handshake that that gave one the best impression of a person and this was what she had practiced and looked for in another person.
She blinked realizing her mind had wandered in the brief space between her asking a question and him giving an answer, she’d actually begun replaying one of many scenes in her head of her father explaining the principle of proper handshakes and making her practice until she had it just right. Luckily it was a brief scene and she didn’t miss any of his words, returning to the present just in time to hear his response.
She smiled again when he agreed and then jumped in surprise at his bark of a laugh, looking at him a bit startled for a moment. Had he told a joke and she missed it? Uncertain, and not wanting to seem foolish for not getting the joke, she let out a short quiet laugh just in case. He didn’t seem to mind though as he simply went on speaking telling her to follow him to the pool.
As she followed behind him she couldn’t help but to giggle at the way he’d addressed her and his happy-go-lucky skipping down the hall. He was certainly…energetic, she didn’t know if she’d go so far as to call him eccentric, but he was certainly closer to that end of the spectrum.
"...Now I have become one of them and my voice has only grown stronger."

[apologies, I shall use the darker color for speech from now on. I'm definitely looking forward to writing Nadia's reaction to watching Lexi walk on water btw haha]

Sean Nomikaze, Exerpiment #11
As he partially skipped, Sean replayed the girls reactions to the handshake and his talking. Taking note that she seemed to space a bit, not that it was unusual for new experiments to display that kind of behavior, but hers seemed as if she was thinking of multiple tangents all at once. Keeping the smile on his face as he took the long strides down the hall, Sean felt a odd tingling sensation wash over his body, making him slow down and look around almost warily. Unable to use his powers because of the insulating they did in the walls, he instead just focused on the direction it felt strongest. Soon enough his senses supplied that it came from the direction of the pool.
With a small smirk transforming his features into a mask of amusement that was mixed with annoyance, Sean shook his head and continued on towards the pool at a more sedated pace. The two little ones should be there already, but one could never tell. So as the hall came to an end, showing the double wide doors that lead to the changing area and a brief glimpse of the pool. His suspicion of who was using their powers was confirmed. There on the water going through a martial arts kata was Lexi, her eyes closed, her face serene except for the srunched up skin between her brows, indicating that she was focusing on not falling back into the water.
Her movements were swift and graceful, like one might see from a professional dancer, as she shifted and glided over the water. Which rippled outward from her powers displacing it in a vibrational density field. Unable to help himself, Sean stopped at the door, leaning on the frame watching her, jaw slightly slack in amazement..
♬♪♭ So into what she was doing, Lexi wasn't aware of the small audience that she was building at the moment. Instead she kept her body going from one movement of the kata to the next. In her mind it was like dancing ballet, flowing and shifting. After a few minutes of this, she opened her mind, feeling it start to strain from the concentration she was using. Letting out a small sigh of contentment she stared blankly at the wall in front of her, before deciding that it was time for her to leave and get ready for her 'exam' upstairs. As she slowly turned around to walk on the water to the farthest edge, she saw the two children, Sean and the new girl.
♬♪♭ If this had been a cartoon, her eyes would be popping out of her head and her jaw to her feet as from her shock. Instead it cost her a bit of her concentration, which in turn caused her power to go unstable under one leg. So she tipped over and fell into the water hard on her side. MAking her hiss, as she immediately righted herself inthe water and began to tread it. The whole time her liquid colored eyes stayed glued to the four people at the door way. Her cheeks starting to turn a rather interesting shade of maroon, as red was no longer in her books for the day.
