Re-introductions (Open)

[Waxillium Ladrian]

The car the school had sent to pick him up was now pulling up to the school. Wax had been here before for a short time while they were rebuilding the school in Canada so he told them he didn't need to have someone show him around again but they had insisted. They wanted to have someone show him around for a couple reasons. One was that the school had likely changed a it since the last time he was here and the other was to hopefully have him make a friend at the school right away. He had not made almost any friends at his old school and the administration at this one likely knew that and wanted to try to help him out. He didn't object as as he supposed he could use some friends, that always made things seem more fun and he just didn't want to be rude.

Wax stepped out of the car when it stopped and pulled his bag out of the trunk. He looked around for the person they had sent to show him around trying to spot them. The driver said they had arrived a little early due to traffic not being as bad as they thought it was going to be so the person assigned to show him around might not quite be here yet. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath in threw his nose in the mean time, taking in all the scents and getting used to them while he was alone and had the chance. Sorting threw scents while interacting with another person wasn't very easy for him but if he didn't it tended to be distracting so he liked to get it done before hand if he was in a new area and had the opportunity. Plus is would kill some time while he waited for someone to arrive to show him around.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn didn't understand why she had been called to show someone around Bellefonte Academy, when she herself probably was not going to be here much longer. She had already started packing up her room, but she had not really told anyone about it and as usual was keeping up her normal behavior. Minus the whole well a lot of what she did for fun and what she did to help her get over things. She had done well on the boat trip when it came to not drinking or smoking but now that she was back at the school the temptation was back.

It was not like she could take a smoke break or drink in front of this guy she was supposed to be showing around because she knew someone would likely be watching from a distance. They told her that it would help her remove some strikes from her record and that it was good for someone with her ability to show the guy around. She didn't get what any of that meant since they didn't tell her what the boy's power was and all she really got was what he looked like and his long first name. Devyn was a bit late, but that was kind of her style. Showing up to things a little late, it was fashionable after all. Or something like that.

"Yo! You Waxillium? Am I saying that right? Waxillium? I'm going to call you Wax-A-Million, that cool?" Devyn spoke up as she gave a wave to the boy as she walked over closer. She gave a nod to the driver before turning her attention back to the boy. Her green eyes already looking him over, sizing him up, and just getting a good look at him. "Oh, I'm Devyn by the way and I'm supposed to show you around the school." Devyn said once she remembered that she should probably give her name and tell him what she was doing here. She held out a hand to shake his, being all formal and what not.

[Waxillium Ladrian]

Wax turned his head in the direction he heard the voice come from and saw who he assumed was the person who was going to show him around. He gave her a quick once over while she walked up and then a smile. His hand extended as well and he gave hers a firm shake. "You can call me Wax, it's much easier and shorter to say. It's a pleasure to meet you. Thanks for coming to show me around." He inhaled threw his nose once more, taking the chance to catch her scent while she was near by. It was a very odd scent he had to admit, but that was something he was getting used to while around mutants.

"I've been here before a little while ago, right after the school in Canada burned down but I didn't stay long so they decided to have someone give me the grand tour again." He said trying to make conversation. That was something he was generally very bad at but he was trying to get better and any opportunity to do so was good. He picked up his bags, slinging one over his shoulder and holding the other at his side, ready to get going.

[Devyn Solway]

"Wax it is, then." Devyn said with a nod. She already knew she was probably going to end up calling him Wax in the end since even calling him Wax-A-Million was a mouth fall. Then again she was probably still going to call him that at least once every time she saw the boy. If she ever saw him again after this, she could not see into the future. She might not be here for another month and even then if she was who knew if they would get along. So far he seemed cool but this was just the start of the meeting and anything could happen from now to later.

Devyn didn't say anything about how she was basically being made to show him around, he didn't need to know about those details. She was here to show him around even if it was not her choice and that was all that matter. "Oh? Where did you stay after the school burned down then?" Devyn asked. This was another person she was meeting that came from the school up in Canada that had burned down forever ago and was not opening up. Odd that people were not going to that school now that it was being rebuilt, but BA was apparently the place to be.

The place where people died, crazy people came to kill them, and recently had to deal with a fire. Devyn didn't know who was doing the advertising for BA to mutants but damn they were good at their job. "Since you have been here before, I'm just going to show you everything all at once from the best location to do that. First, let’s drop your stuff off at the dorm. Need any help with anything?" Devyn said, already having a place in mind for them to go. She then pointed to the bag he was carrying, offering any help if he wanted or needed it.

Dev would only wait a little for a kind of response before she would start to head off to the dorms where the boy was going to be living. She had already been told of which dorm style he had picked to live.

[Waxillium Ladrian]

Wax smiled a little at the question about where he stayed when the school was burned down. "I spent most of the time back at my dads house and then a spent a little time here at this school. I really liked the mountains and all of the outdoors stuff in the area so I decided to come back. I mean, we have most of that stuff up in Canada also but it's a lot colder up there. Plus overall I think I liked the people here more then up there. I didn't really seem to fit in much with most of the other students at that school." He thought that would be a good answer to her question and would possibly answer some other questions she might ask afterwards. He generally wasn't this chatty with people he had just met but once again he was trying to be more sociable and do all that small talk stuff he was supposed to be practicing.

Wax nodded when she explained how she was going to do the tour. "That sounds perfectly fine to me, I am assuming the school has not changed a super lot since I was last here anyways, but the quick refresher will be nice. And I am fine with my bags, I honestly didn't have much, I appreciate the offer though." He hefted his bags once more and began to follow her as she walked off towards the dorms. She looked like she knew where she was going so he didn't feel the need to tell her which room he was assigned to, they probably gave her that information already. "The air here also has a lot more interesting scents then where I am from. I suppose that is probably because I am not used to them yet but it is nice."

[Devyn Solway]

"That’s nice that you were able to spend time with your dad." Devyn said, looking away for a moment as she pushed down her feelings about her dad. This little interaction was not about her, none of them ever were, and she planned on keeping it that way. "Well, welcome back to BA and you made the right choice picking here over your old school. Sure things are a little more lax up there from what I hear, but this is where all the action is at." Devyn said, half chuckling at that. Some of the action had been good but a lot of it had been bad.

While she didn't want to be at BA anymore, she didn't plan on making it seem like a bad place for other students. It was a good place; it was just not her place anymore. That was how she felt about that matter anyways. Dev would not have guessed that the guy was not much of a talker by how open he was being and chatting it up with her. She didn't have any complaints, people that talked allowed her to be able to talk and have an actual conversation with them back. "You will fit in here in no time. Just make sure you get yourself out there. Don't be afraid to just go around and meet new people." Devyn said, a little of her usual 'wanting people to belong' desire coming out.

He seemed game for her plan and didn't need any help with his bag. Devyn gave a nod and was already turning off to head to his dorms. They could drop his stuff off to his room first and then they would head up to the roof. That location allowed them to get a nice view of everything from high ground, making for a quick tour. Devyn kept walking, but when he brought up scents she could not help but turn around and face him, while still walking backwards in the direction they needed to go. "Scents, huh? What’s your power?" Devyn asked. She assumed it had to be a shapeshifting based ability since they were the ones that often had heightened sense.

[Waxillium Ladrian]

Wax nodded at the comment about his dad and decided not to elaborate on that. He could sense the slight uncomfortable feeling about the subject of parents and knew from past experiences that it would be better just to let the subject drop or change. Not everyone had a good relationship with there parents, hell not everyone had both or there parents like Wax. So he could understand and didn't want to push the subject if it wasn't wanted. "Thank you I think I will enjoy it a lot. The school up north is a little to lax if you ask me, I like some structure in my life personally."

Wax gave her a smile when she said he would fit in. "I hope so, if I don't fit in with others of my kind I don't think I would fit in anywhere right?" he said in a joking manner. "And the going around and meeting new people has always been kind of rough for me. I have had to put in a real effort to be as conversational as I have been in this conversation. I don't generally talk much, was just never my thing." he said with a shrug.

As Devyn turned around and started walking backwards Wax tilted his head curiously. "I can turn into a Grey Wolf, nothing to spectacular if you ask me but I enjoy it. The running is what I enjoy the most. Might sound dumb to enjoy something like that but I do."

[Devyn Solway]

"Agreed. If everything is too lax then there is no fun in breaking the rules." Devyn said as she chuckled. That was part of why she broke rules, because someone would do something about it. Well, at least that used to be why she used to break rules. She wanted attention, practically needed it when she was younger and suffering from the loss of her father all those years ago. People seemed to get an idea of what was wrong with her but no one had ever actually figured out the right way to help her through it. So she always handled things alone and that was how she planned to do it for the rest of her life.

Devyn tilted her head a little to the side as he spoke to her about how he hoped he fit in with his own kind and how going up and talking to people was not all that easy for him. He seemed to be doing a pretty good job at it so far, even if he admitted that he was having to push himself a bit in order to do so. That was what he needed to do in order to get better at it so the sooner he got used to forcing himself to be a bit more social, the sooner he would get better at it. That was Dev's belief on the matter. "Well, just keep doing what you are doing with me and you should be fine. Plus there are a few kids that do a lot of talking so you should be able to make a friend easy enough." Devyn said as she gave him a friendly smile.

She was going to say that she would even be his friend but with how she planned to leave she didn't want to say such a thing, leave, and then him feel like it was his fault. Then again she could just make it all clear to him and she should have been able to understand that she had made the choice long before she met him. When he spoke up about being able to turn into a wolf Devyn had stopped walking backwards and walked right up to him, indeed invading his personal space. "Dude, you can turn into a wolf? Like a full out wolf? No wonder they wanted me to show you around." Devyn said as she was getting why she had been told to show this guy around. "You the type that has to deal with pain when you shift?" Devyn asked, needing to know the answer.

[Waxillium Ladrian]

He couldn't help but let out a small laugh at the rule breaking comment. "I suppose that's one way to look at it. I'm personally not one to be breaking many rules myself but I can see the appeal in why one might want to do so." He said with a small nod. He didn't like breaking the rules himself. His dad had been the one who taught him that. Rules were important in the relationship they had since it was just the two of them so he kept that to heart.

When Devyn stepped into his personal space he couldn't help but take half a step back. He nodded slightly at the question. "Yes I can turn into a full Grey Wolf." He then raised a brow when she said that was why they wanted her to show him around. "Why would they want you to show me around for that reason?" Though he assumed it was cause she could also turn into a wolf. He then grimaced. "Unfortunately yes, it's a pretty painful process to change. I am hoping that I can eventually make it less painful but I am not sure if If I can."

[Devyn Solway]

"Ah, a good boy huh?" Devyn asked but it was more of a rhetorical tease then it was to get an answer from him. She had no problem dealing with those who didn't really like to break the rules, because it was all the more fun when she got them to break a rule. Most of the rules she broke were not really hurting anyone but herself in the end. Some rules she just felt were too stupid to be actual rules while others just got in the way of doing what she liked to do. There were very few things that she enjoyed anymore and if a rule was all that stood between her and something that she still liked, well that rule was going to get broken.

She had been taught that rules were important and she used to have a lot more respect for a lot of them, just time changed her. Well less time and more so events were why Devyn was the way she was but that was just how things in life went. Devyn could not help but to feel a little pleased that he backed up when she moved closer to him, her inner alpha pleased that in a way he submitted; even if that was not his intention. "Dude, that is awesome." Devyn said when he confirmed that yes he could indeed turn into a wolf. Part of Devyn wished that she could turn into a simple wolf but then recalled that he power was her tie to her father and that she felt a lot more...special because of how she had ended up using her shadow based power.

"I can turn into a sort of wolf. A shadow beast that takes on most of its appearance from a wolves." Devyn explained, already resuming her walking backwards after checking behind her. She did have a disappointed look on her face when he spoke up about it being a painful process to shift. That didn't mean she was not going to ask him to show her what he could do, that just meant she was going to wait. "Just keep using your power and I'm sure with time you will get used to it. All about practice." Devyn said, turning around to walk forward now as they got closer to the dorms.
