Ay Dios Mio

[Deleted]

Jogging down the hallway, now finally dressed in her new uniform - which she digged by the way. Granted, it wasn't nearly as colorful as she would have liked, but at least there was a skirt, and Adrian just loved skirts, Adrian wasn't really sure where she was going. God, there was so much to explore, so many new things to see, and of course, so many new people to meet.

Momentarily distracted by the various people walking by her and the labels on the doors, she didn't look where she was going, which explained how and why she felt herself crash into someone, causing the blonde to step backwards as she flailed her arms. Falling down onto her bum, the blonde's eyes went wide as she blinked, looking confused.

Looking up, she started at a pair of identical twins, which caused the blonde to smack her forehead with the palm of her hand. "Ay dios mio," she let out. "Gawsh, you guys, I'm terribly sorry." She continued sitting of course, because clearly doing two things at once was too much to ask for at the moment. 

"I didn't hurt you- well, of course I didn't. I mean--" she gestured at them. "-look at you. If anything, you'd be the one hurting me!" She grinned and let out a chuckle at that. "You could take out the world with those guns, and I'm not talking about your arms-- well, actually I was, but that's besides the point...Not really, but you know what I mean," she rambled, looking as if she was having an inner battle or maybe monologue with herself. Probably both.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

"I'm telling you, we could so pull off Akito and Agito from Air Gear as a Cosplay. We should so do it brother." Jasper said, sounding excited about the idea. He had been trying to convince his brother that they really needed to step up their game when it came to getting people’s attention. Jasper just missed the eyes that that had on them when they put on the show and he wanted that feeling back. It was so hard to get at the school with how many other 'special' people around. "I'll think about it." Casper said as he walked next to his brother.

Casper missed all the eyes on him too but there was something else that was bothering him a little bit more that had him distracted. It was Casper distraction and the girl's distraction that result in the collision that caused the girl to fall down and Casper to just take a step back to regain his balance. Had he been focused he would have reached out and likely prevented her from falling to the ground, but no dice. The girl seemed alright, seemed to be stunned more than anything as she asked if they were okay but then changed it around to giving them a complement.

The siblings were already starting to like this girl for having stroked their ego. "Well I hope whatever guns you were talking about didn't hurt you too badly." Casper said as he offered out a hand to help the girl to her feet. Jasper held out his hand as well but unlike his brother he already had a large smirk on his face. Yes, she was perfect. "What other guns could you have meant, if you don't mind sharing?" Jasper asked, really curious now.

[Deleted]

When the boys offered her their hands, Adrian accepted them with a huge grin on her face - though, she kind of always grinned, so it was hardly a surprise. Pulling herself up, the blonde brushed some dust off of her skirt before straightening up, facing the boys as she placed both of her hands on her hips, looking from one boy to the other. "Gawsh, for a second there, I almost thought I'd hit my head, because you two are like, soooo similar it's almost a little creepy- but not really, you know? Because I don't feel creeped out. Do you feel creeped out? Nah, why would you?" she continued rambling.

"Naaaah," she said, swatting her hand at them, grinning still. As if to prove it, Adrian checked her body for any wounds. "See? No wounds. I'm all okey-dokey!" Clapping her hands together, the blonde's head tilted curiously to the side as the other duplication started talking. "Wellll, there's so many to choose from! Gawsh, there's your noses, I 'spose they could be called guns, since...y'know-" she leaned in close, covering her mouth as she whispered. "-they can fire snot," she added, then pulled back. "And then there's your teeny-weeny's, because obviously they would need such a name for plenty of reasons! Though, not all of them have safety-- like seriously, some teeny-weeny's can like, shoot without a warning!" Lifting her hands, Adrian mimicked an explosion.

"...What else is there... WELL, I knew this girl back at St. Bethany's riiiight? And she could like... Shoot her nails off! So, I 'spose the fingers could be called guns too..." Putting her index finger to her cheek, she tapped it absentmindedly.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

The Emory twins helped the girl up onto her feet once she took their hands. The both of them didn't even hide that they were so checking the girl out. Hell, they never really tried to cover up when they were looking someone over and taking in what aspects of the body they enjoyed the most. How they were tempted to flip her skirt for a moment to check out if she was the type to wear shorts or what kind of underwear she was wearing. They were not that immature thankfully, and the thought of flipping her shirt just remained a thought.

The siblings exchanged a glance with one another as the girl began to speak and could not help but to smile a little but they were already wondering if they were dealing with one of those crazy types. "That’s what comes with a pair of super identical twins. We only think its creepy when we start syncing up and talking at the same time a lot." Jasper informed her. So yes, they did sometimes get creeped out by themselves but that was mostly when they would mind meld. She assured them that she was fine, even checking her body to prove a point.

"That good to hear. I would have felt bad if I had hurt you." Casper said, and part of him would have felt bad if he did in fact end up hurting her. Then she started to answer Jasper question, which Casper wished he would have stopped him at least a little bit. It was too late however and the girl was not even hesitating in telling what she thought could be called guns. The brothers only made a face when she said teeny-weenys. If she was talking about what they thought she was talking about, they hoped she did not think they were teeny.

She started talking about some girl at another school she had apparently come from but Jasper went to interrupt. "Wait, wait. By teeny-weenys do you me our pen-our male parts?" Jasper asked, being hit halfway through what he was saying by his brother so quickly changed up the word he had planned on saying.

[Deleted]

"I suppose you're right," the Brit nodded. Yeah, she could totally see what they meant. Kind of made it seem like those twins in the Shining. Or, they could seem as them, anyways. Though, Adrian could also see them having a lot of fun with it by creeping other people out. She wasn't going to mention it, because she wasn't too sure how she'd feel if two ghost twins standing next to her bed when she wake up. Then again, she wouldn't feel too good if anyone did that without her knowing.

Furrowing her brows, Adrian looked at one of the twins as he interrupted her. "Yeah, what else would I be talking about?" she asked, grinning. "I mean, there's plenty of words to use... Teeny-weeny, pee-pee, banana, snake, hot dog, bread, pole, pillar, stalagmite-- ooh, and there's so many for the female parts too! Hoot hoot, va jay jay, hootsie--- you know, when I think of it, there's probably more names for genitals than anything else..."

Shrugging, Adrian looked back at the boys and pursed her lips. Boy, was this a strange conversation to have with someone she didn't even know. Not that she really minded, of course, but still. It felt weird. It was a good thing Adrian liked weird. "I'm Adrian by the way! Wait... Did I already introduce myself? I don't think so... Maybe? Did I? Does it matter? Nah, probably not. Hi I'm Adrian!" she grinned and reached out her hands to shake theirs.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

The twins did sometimes use the whole looking and sounding alike to their advantage when they messed around with people. It was fun. It really showed if someone knew them for who they were or was just guessing or didn't even bother to tell the difference. Not that the twins really cared all that much if one of them was mixed up with the other. They liked each other, they had one another back, and if one of them was in trouble they both were. It was just how things worked out for the two of them and they currently didn't want it any other way.

The girl made it clear that she was talking about what Jasper thought she was talking about. He was about to say how he didn't want her saying teeny-weeny around them when she was talking about such an important part on their bodies. Yet then she started to go into the different names she knew you could call the part on a human body. She even started to talk about the different names you could call girl parts, which was enlightening for the two siblings. "Hoot hoot? I don't believe that one." Jasper pointed out as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Well...hooters is a place and what they call boobs right, so maybe hoot hoot could be that?" Casper said but he sounded doubtful as well. It just didn't really seem like a good substitute words. Yet...hootsie did to them. It was indeed a strange conversation to be having but this was Casper and Jasper she was dealing with. Such a conversation was not all that weird to them since their minds often spent time in such a guttered location. There had been no introductions however, but now Adrian was providing her name, along with some extra chit chat. Someone is hyped up on sugar today. Jasper thought to himself. "I'm Jasper and this is my brother Casper." Jasper did the introduction, pointing a who was who.

"It's nice to meet you Adrian..." Casper said before his voice trailed off. She if she had gotten on their bad side they would have pointed out that they didn't think her name was very girly, but she was being nice so they were going to be nice.

[Deleted]

"I think hooters refer to women's boobs.." she trailed off, furrowing her brows. That was what the place was known for, right? Girls with massive boobs. Looking down at her own boobs, Adrian wasn't sure if she'd be able to pull it off. She wasn't flat chested, but it wasn't much to brag about. Ah well, it hardly matter. The twins introduced themselves, which had the blonde nodding. "Jasper and Casper," she repeated. "That's really cute. The matching names, I mean. Boy, must people get the two of you confused all the time. Like, I see no visual differences whatsoever," she said shaking her head. "Must be so cool too. Having someone who looks exactly the same as you!"

Whereas Adrian had no siblings at all, the twins had A TWIN. Was she jealous? Maybe a little bit.

"You're probably wondering about the boyish name, right? WELL, my parents expected a boy, right? And well, when I was born, they found it too cute or something to change, and thus I would forever be known as Adrian Brody Kosta-- oh, the last name? That's Greek," she flashed them a pearly white grin. "My dad's from Greece, you see, and my mom's a Brit-- hence the accent, and well, I 'spose that's the history of my name." Did she care that they hadn't asked? Of course not. Besides, she liked her name. She liked how it was so boyish, and short. It was cute, and fit her perfect, obviously.

"Have you been students here for long? I just transferred. Needed to get that good ole American experience, you know?" Folding her hands behind her back, the blonde rocked back and forth.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

"Yeah, that’s it!" Jasper exclaimed when Adrian clarified what hooters was. They were pretty sure that was like a place you could eat and what you called people's boobs when they were really big. The brothers had never been to the place but they would have liked to. A place where all the workers had a large pair of jugs? Talk about a paradise, but the brothers didn't want them too big. Yes, even the twins were picky sometimes, depending on a whole lot of other criteria.

Since they were talking about boobs it was only natural that the twins look at the girl's chest and she seemed to be doing the same thing. No harm no foal then, right? They thought she had a nice set and she had a set so that did prove that she was in fact a girl with a boy’s name. "That be our mother's doing. Wherever she is." Casper said a slight hint of bitterness there. The brothers did enjoy their names, but they still were not going to forgive that woman that just left them with little to no memory of her. "Well...if we were in a few less layers, I'm sure you could spot out at least one visual difference." Jasper said, giving the girl a wink.

Yes, he was flirting and Casper could not help but to smile a little since he thought that was pretty smooth thing to say. They were indeed wondering about it but didn't want to be rude and ask. Yet now they were worried she was a mind reader since she was telling them about her name. They practically got her whole life story with her telling them about her full name. If they were identity thefts they felt like they had everything they needed. Good thing they were not and they were still very much interested in the girl who was from across the sea. "Wow. Guess when you have a kid you are going to have to come up with a really good name for them too." Casper said when she was done with that bit.

"A few months, long enough that we could show you around if you like." Jasper offered up, putting on the charm already. Hey, a guy’s got to flirt when there was a chance. That and well he figured if he did it the right way he would get his brother to slowly get involved as well. "You left your home behind just to get the America experience?" Casper asked, sounding really confused. He didn't understand that.

[Deleted]

Tilting her head curiously to the side, Adrian wasn't too sure she actually understood what the boy meant. Then again, that was hardly a surprise. Adrian wasn't known for being the sharpest knife in the drawer, and she was absolutely fine with that.

When she finally did understand what he'd meant, a slight 'oooooh' escaped the blonde's lips and she grinned. "One of you have a tattoo!" Yes, she completely missed the point. "That is soooo cool! I have one too!" Turning around, Adrian buttoned up the first few buttons of her shirt and pulled it down by the shoulder, along with the cardigan. Pointing at the tattoo of the three birds on her shoulder blade, Adrian grinned. Once she figured the boys had seen the tattoo, she reversed the process and buttoned her shirt back up again. "Pretty cool, huh?"

Tapping her chin, Adrian pursed her lips. "You know, I never thought about that. I mean, it's waaaay to early for me to have kids- or even think about kids, but you're right. I have to come up with something super cool and really special!" Like... Like... Okay, so maybe she didn't have a single clue what she was supposed to name her kids, but whatever.

"Really?" she beamed excitedly. "I'd love that!" Gawsh, people were so nice here. Turning towards the other twin, Adrian nodded. "Yep! I guess you could say I'm adventurous. England's all great and all, but I wanted to see something new, you know? Like, explore new places and see all the wonders the world has to offer!" Besides, she was a singer. It was sort of in her blood, or something.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

Jasper smirk went away when Adrian said that one of them had a tattoo. Was that what she had assumed he was getting at? He could not help but feel a little disappointed now as he let out a sigh. Jasper then held up his hand and high-five his brother, that was their little tag team swap now. It was just Jasper giving up on any more flirting from this moment on. She had not gotten that one so he didn't think there was any hope that any other kind of flirt that he could come up with would work on her. So it was up to Casper to work his flirting skills on the girl if he so dared to give it a go.

"We both have tattoos. Similar ones and in similar places." Casper spoke up as he chuckled a little. Perhaps that would be enough of a hint for the girl to get it but if she didn't Casper didn't mind. It was almost entertaining that she had missed that. At least she was not getting upset about it and that was the important part of the whole interaction. They both did get a little excited as she messed with her shirt and pulled it down to show off her tattoo. "It's cute." Casper spoke up. Both the siblings agreed that it so fit her. "We show you ours but we have to do a little more than just tug out shirts down." Jasper pointed out.

The main tattoo was on this shoulder, but it was on the side and showing it would require them to remove their jackets and long sleeve shirts. Then she was on the rank about naming her kids, and Jasper was giving his brother a look. Casper chuckled a little and took the silent blame, not minding at all how the girl was. Jasper didn't mind it too much but it was always hard to get that right balance with him when it came to a person. They didn't comment on the kids bit, focusing on the whole offering her a tour. "Awesome, we shall escort you all gentlemen like." Jasper said, half flirting but in a more innocent way as the siblings both offered their arms for her to take.

Casper was pleased that she did explain why she was willing to leave home, but he still didn't completely understand it. He figured he would think some more on it later or perhaps ask a few more question. They twins still moved to walk with her at least showing her around the school would give them a chance to get to know her better. "Not worried you will miss home?" Casper asked, making conversation while they walked.

[Deleted]

"Oooh," she said, nodding. "Gotcha." She wasn't about to ask the poor boys to undress here in the middle of a hallway. No, that would hardly be appropriate. Besides the fact that they said that made it sound a little ominous, so Adrian wasn't sure if it was the best way. Not that she would have stopped them if they actually wanted to show her, of course. As any normal teenager, Adrian's thoughts wandered; She wondered where their tattoos could be if they had to do more than tug down their shirts. Was she reading too much into it? Naaaah, of course she wasn't.

Taking their arms excitedly, another beaming smile formed on the blonde's lips. "Gawsh, people are so nice here," she mused. Back in England, they had all appeared a lot more snobby, but here, there was so many different people, all from different cultures. It was really exciting, and Adrian couldn't wait to find out more about everyone at the school, including the twins. "Yay!"

With her own arms curled around theirs, Adrian looked up at the talking twin. Shrugging slightly, she offered him a lopsided smile. "A little," she admitted. "Like, I'll miss my friends and being so close to my family, but I think it's a very important part of growing up. Being independent, I mean." She shrugged again as she finished. "But I think it'll help me grow as a person, you know? And it's not like I can't go back either. After all, I could just file for another transfer if I don't like it." No, Adrian wasn't too worried. Sure, she was homesick and all, but so far, she actually liked the school and the people here.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

The brothers were not really certain if she got them or not. Still, they were not overly concerned with it at the time. It was not like they could strip down in the hallways and start showing off their tattoos and bodies to her. Well they could but that would attract a lot of attention. Now that they were thinking about it, it seemed like a good idea. They wanted all eyes on them and to attraction attention. If stripping would do just that then they were tempted to go ahead and give it a go. The only problem was the whole more than likely getting in trouble by someone on the staff and that was no fun. "Were people mean to you back home?" Casper asked, curious.

The brothers could see her possibly getting bullied if she missed like everything like she had missed what Jasper was getting at. Yet she seemed too happy and 'yipee' about things to actually be bothered by anyone bullying her. Perhaps she was just expecting people to not deal with her because she was a transfer student or something. The siblings didn't know and that was why Casper had asked. Jasper didn't particularly care and was more so pleased that they currently had a chick holding onto their arms. "How old are you Adrian?" Jasper asked after a moment. Age was not that big of a deal to him but he was curious if this was an age behavior thing or just a personality thing.

Casper looked at her as she spoke of how she missed things a little but then ultimately concluded that if she missed it too much she could always just transfer back. The siblings wished they could just transfer back to the circus but things didn't work out that way. "Well I hope you come to like it here so we can see that cute smile of yours more often." Casper spoke up, doing a tiny bit of flirting now. Just a tiny bit. "So basically all around here is just classes. Some teachers you are going to be stuck with if you stay here for years cause I hear some of them teach multiple grades." Jasper spoke up as he pointed to a few classrooms that they passed by.

[Deleted]

With furrowed brows, she looked at the boy for a moment. "Mean to me?" Had she made it seem as such? "No, not at all. People were very kind," she said with a soft smile. "I didn't leave because of the people," she added. No, it had nothing to do with them at all. She just wanted to see America, and well, she wasn't exactly known for thinking before acting. It had more so been a decision made in the heat of the moment than anything else. She wasn't sure how to formulate that properly though.

"I'm seventeen," she replied with a chuckle. "And yes, I'm aware that I don't act my age," she added with a wink. No, she was a little too childish, and perhaps too overly excited. She often heard people tell her she was like an overly excited puppy that needed constant surveillance. Not that she really minded either way, because Adrian wasn't the type to feel down about, well anything. If people didn't like her, she'd either change their minds or leave them be. It wasn't worse than that, really. "What about you guys?" They didn't seem too old themselves, actually. Maybe around her age? Maybe a year or two older?

Laughing, the blonde elbowed the twin playfully in the arm as she rolled her eyes - not maliciously so, of course. "Oh stop it," she grinned. "You're gonna fluff my ego so much it'll blow up." But as always, Adrian took the compliment as it was meant, and if it was at all possible, it made her even more giddy than what she was already. Then the other brother talked and Adrian turned her attention back to him. "Ooooh, I see," she nodded. "Are they nice? The teachers, I mean?" Back at St. Bethany, she had found most of the students to be somewhat snobby and stuck up. She wondered if they were the same here.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

Casper felt a little better at hearing that the girl had not been bullied over here or anything. He and his brother assumed as much but Casper had been worried for a moment. He was unsure why. Perhaps he was going soft when it came to dealing with girls or people in general. Perhaps he was actually worried about his brother but was projecting that worry on everyone else. Casper didn't know and Jasper most certainly didn't know what was up and was just going with the flow. "Well that is good to hear. Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to understand." Casper said. That was really the heart behind his questions, he just didn't understand.

"...are you a mind reader?" Jasper asked after she informed them of her age and then pointed out that she was aware that she didn't act her age. She either had to be reading their minds or dealt with those kinds of questions or looks a lot that she was used to it. Jasper was willing to believe either one of those since he could not really guess what the girl's power was. There was nothing about her that really screamed certain ability or anything like that. With the siblings people tended to guess it involved them being twins or physical and they were right on the latter. "Sixteen." The brothers said at the same time, answering her question on how old they were.

Jasper was so giving his brother a look now, smirking ever so slightly at how Adrian was reacting to Casper's small little flirt. A playful elbow and warning him about if he was not careful he would make her ego explode. Casper did his best to ignore his brother’s looks and just gave a smile to Adrian. "I don't see anything wrong with fluffing up an ego with the truth. Your smile really is cute." Casper responded back. He also had the desire to pinch her cheeks but he was not going to share that with her because he felt that desire was a little on the weird side. "Well some of them are. There are a couple who are no nonsense and take the fun out of everything, but there are a few that I would say are nice. You should have no problem with them." Jasper said with Casper nodding in agreement.

"Next up the cafeteria. Where you can pretty much get something to eat through the day. It was a little bit damaged a while back but they fixed everything up and it looks good as new by now." Jasper added as he and his brother led the way to the cafeteria.

[Deleted]

"Mind reader? No," she laughed as she shook her head. "My ability is... It's called a psychic barrier. I block out mental powers," she explained. "Like, if someone tries to read my emotions, or even my thoughts, I can block it out." Yeah, she was used to dealing it it quite a lot, and ironically, it wasn't the first time anyone had asked if she was a mind reader either. It seemed to be one of those things that popped up wherever she went. "Oh sweet sixteen; Enjoy it while you can, boys. Soon we'll all wake up old and grey," she said, grinning.

Laughing again, Adrian would have swatted her hand, hadn't her arms been interlocked with the twins'. "Well, thank you." What human being didn't love compliments anyways? She was a performer. She basically lived on compliments. After all, people didn't perform if they didn't want to be noticed and loved. It seemed to be a shared pet peeve between all the people she had met who had some kind of performing fantasy, be it singing, dancing or something else entirely. "So... Just like anywhere else then," she nodded. "Though, the teachers at St.Bethany was really snobby!" she grimaced at that. "Not everyone, of course, but you know what British people are like," she added with another wink.

"Oh, yeah! The fire!" she said, nodding. "I heard about that. It was during the whole IMAC event, right? Gee, I wish I'd decided to come then, because it sounds like I missed a lot of excitement!" Of course, the fire was widely known even at St. Bethany. It seemed to be roaming around the mutant community. Though, that wasn't too weird, with Bellefonte basically being the mother school of all the other mutant academies.
