The Smells of a New life (Open)

[Solkat Siun]

Solkat walked across the lawn, her claws digging into the soil slightly as she walked. She was unsure of this school as well as what had happened to her the past week. She looked down at her clawed hand's and shook her head. She knew she was going to have to get over and accept what she had become. The recruiter had mentioned the word Mutant and at the time it and monster rang as one. Letting the idea that she was with other's like her sink in  a bit she tried to relax. Their were positives to her new form. For one her hair had never been quite so shiny. 

SHe looked up at the school, the place was huge and while she had not really met anyone she had observed that their were at least some other and transformed as she was. She had never been good with just walking up to people and talking to them and even now it proved difficult.

She had to admit some jealously as well, some of the student body at least. Some were still Human looking and prolbely could blend in if they needed to. She glanced back at one of her fluffy tail's. No one was going to mistake her as human short if being blind. 

"Why me?" she said shaking her head again well aware she was falling back into feeling sorry for herself. SHe stopped under a tree and looked up at the branches. How many Mutants were out there and was their a cure were questions that rose to her mind. The idea of spending the rest of her life as the worlds biggest rodent was not appealing at all. "I would have taken talking to fish over this" she said to herself with a sigh. 

[Frank "Sunny" Laffont]

"Omigosh, you're like a giant plushie!" cooed Frank. She would appear to have come out of no where, having seen Solkat from some distance away and all but sprinted toward the girl the moment she was convinced that her eyes were not, in fact, fooling her. Sure, Frank had seen some visible mutations before; they had a few back in England, especially ones with fairy wings, especially Irish people with fairy wings (must be in the water), but she hadn't seen one in Bellefonte for a while now. and lo, there was one, and she looked like a giant furry animal.

"And talking to fish would be super boring. I mean, c'mon, would you really want that? You'd have to stick your head under water all the time and go 'blub, blub, blub, hello Mr. Fishy. Plus, you'd end up being aquaman after a while, and let's face it, even Aquaman doesn't want to be Aquaman, 'cuz talking to fish is a super lame power," Frank had, during this little spiel, entered Solkat's personal bubble. She was already poking and prodding a little, just a smidgen, and mostly moving to stroke the soft fur. "You're so soooooft," she cooed, "is that your superpower? Softness? Because that would make you, like, the cuddliest mutant ever. YOU COULD BE A CAREBEAR!" Frank waved her hands wide before moving to give Solkat a hug, again ignoring bubbles, discomfort, and most rules regarding people's personal space.

"You're just so soft and squishy!" she cooed.

[Solkat Siun]

Her less then stellar eyesight meant she did not notice Frank until she was almost next to her. She felt her tails twitch in surprise and she suppressed the instinct to turn and spray. She blinked and finally laid eyes on a rather attractive girl in front of her. She missed half of what the other girl said as she paid more attention to her movements, taking a step back as Frank advanced.

"Im not sure...tha....Carebear?" She stuttered overwhelmed. SHe barely processed the caparison in her head, to distracted was she by this encounter.  She tried to take another step back but was encased in the hug. She blushed a bit embarrassed at being hugged by a very pretty girl.

"Thank you? Who are you?" she asked patting the other girl on the back softly. She squirmed a bit trying to get free of the embrace slightly uncomfortable. "And i think my super power is being a walking skunk creature. What about you?" she said nervously. SHe was curious about the other girl's power but she was also hoping she would let go to do so. 

SHe assumed everyone at the school had a power and she wondered how varied they really were, having never met other mutant's other then the recruiter and this girl before. Still she had to admit the girl had a point, talking to fish would be lame and she never could swim anyway. SHe smiled slightly trying to relax.

[Frank "Sunny" Laffont]

"So fuzzy," mumbled Frank, continuing to pet the other person for probably was longer than strictly necessary. She dimly heard the words and looked up at the other, shier girl. There was the squirming, but Frank was used to that, and used to holding onto people that squirmed. They did that ever so often, especially when Frank was doing the hugging.

Ah, skunk powers that was... weird, but Frank was willing to roll with it. "Me? Oh, I eat stuff," she said, waving a hand, "which is one of those super boring powers I mentioned before. Your power is seriously to be a walking skunk creature? So you--you're a furry! Aaaah," Frank jumped up and down and moved around. This did mean letting go of Solkat, so the other would at least get some relieve from the hugging. Frank tilted her head and studied the tails. Her hand reached out to touch before realizing that there was something she really should be asking before actually doing so (and no, it wasn't permission; pfft, permission):

"Do your tails like spray stinky stuff?" asked Frank, leaning over to try and look Solkat in the eyes. "Like, do you have the skunk smelly thing or are you just super furry and cute?" This was obviously a super important issue. You could tell by the fact that Frank had put up her super serious face and talked with as sonorous a tone as she could manage.

[Solkat Siun]

Frank's explanation of her power left a lot of questions. "Eat things" she asked not understanding at all. The train of thought left however when the girl began jumping up and down and let go of her. She was very happy when the other very enthusiastic girl let her go. Though she knew a part of her had liked the pretty girl rubbing her fur. She gave a jolt as the girl reached toward's her one of her tail's.

" Yes, i don't have that entirely controlled...when i'm scared or startled it sometimes happens. The tail's are also.....annoying " She said honestly. It had happened a few time's and Solkat had never tried spraying it herself.

"You...you really think im cute?" She said with a happy but nervous squeal that left her wondering where it had come from. Those words taking a few seconds to catch up with her. She looked back into the other girl's eyes, only now realizing their color. To her she was a living peppe la pu from the cartoon, but maybe some girl's were into that? Looking away, she realized she was so very confused.

"Um your quite pretty yourself" she managed to squeak out. Instantly she admonished herself mentally for the fool's act of bravery. Frank really was gorgeous and Solkat found herself feeling better about the place.

[Frank "Sunny" Laffont]

Frank, not understanding that Solkat's repetition of her ability was questioning, simply figuring that this was the skunk girl sort of processing that idea. Frank was pretty much used to people not really believing that of all the abilities that were out there as potentials, Frank had ended up with the one that meant that she could and did eat whatever the heck she wanted. Even if Frank had noticed, she wouldn't have likely said anything, because there was a cute skunk to pet and poke.

She did step away from the tails, more toward Solkat's front, as the other girl admitted to the tails actually being able to produce scent in some form or fashion. She eyed them like the dangerous weapons they so clearly were. Frank didn't know if she'd call tails annoying, but she did figure that the girl who actually had the tails would know better than she just how annoying they happened to be.

Then came the little comment of cute, along with a squeal that only further amplified the inherent cuteness. "What? sure you're cute, that was a cute noise you made just then too! There is the whole smelly thing, but pfft,' Frank waved a hand, "that's nothing compared to what some of the people I've met can do. And thanks!" she beamed. "I am totally hawt, aren't I? People just don't say that enough," Frank sighed, putting her hands on her hips and looking far, far too content with herself and the universe sort of in general. "Name's Frank, by the way, not sure if I mentioned it or not. What's yours?" she beamed at the girl now. Frank was fervently hoping it was something French and pretty, or maybe just plain pretty.

[Solkat Siun]

She giggled at being called cute again, mentally she felt like a middle school but the bliss of situation washed that from her mind quickly. She nodded perhaps overly enthusiastically when Frank admitted she was hot. She had trouble believing Frank did not hear that all the time, but she kept that to herself and instead simply smiled.



"My name is Solkat, it's nice to meet you. Have you been here long?, I only arrived hours ago" she said never taking her eyes from her blonde friend. Frank was the first person she had met at the place.



Nibbling on the tip of her claw, she considered how much her life had changed in the past week. "Two weeks ago i was worrying about my hair and nails, now i might need a flea collar and a rabies shot in the summer. Is your power hard to deal with?" she asked still confused as to just what Frank could do.



It was hard to admit, but she was actually enjoying herself. She was really glad she did spray Frank now, though she had wished she did when they first met. She moved one of her tails to her side, still finding it weird her body did this at all. "You can pet it...if you want i mean" she said having noticed the girls enthusiasm before.

[Frank "Sunny" Laffont]

"Wow, only hours ago! So I'm, like, you're welcoming committee," said Frank, brightening at the thought. Poor Solkat, fated to run into Frank shortly after arriving. This was sort of like coming somewhere and having a parade thrown in your honor, only the parade was filled entirely with six year olds who had been given sugar and red bulls. It did occur to Frank that there were a few questions being thrown her way, but Frank was mostly interested in her fluffy new friend, not to mention the possibilities.

Then Solkat held out her tail, and Frank practically pounced no it. she wrapped both arms about it and rubbed it against her face. "YOU'RE SO FLUFFY!" she cried, giving the tail a shake. She sighed, then seemed to remember the questions: "I went to the British school first, then begged my mom and dad to come back here. They let me, like, a month ago, so that's how long I've been here, which is pleeeeenty of time to have made all these super cool friends and junk, which counts you too, Solly," she gave the tail another squeeze and pet, rubbing her face against it. "My power's just stupid. As long as, like, I get to constantly eat stuff, I'm pretty much okay," which did make Frank hungry, come to think, and she nommed a little on Solkat's tail. Just a little, mind, and she wasn't really biting down. But this was clearly part of how Frank said hello.

"Mu aste ood," Frank said around the tail, which did block a lot of her mouth and thus interfered with her masterful speaking with food in her mouth ability.

[Solkat Siun]

Her welcoming committee was a good way to put it. She winced slightly as Frank almost pounced on her tail. The rough handling did not hurt as much as SOlkat was unused to people wanting to be this close to her much less this excitedly.

SOlkat was trying to figure out what to say when she process that Solly was likely a nickname for her and that she had been called a friend so quickly. " heh well, umm your the first friend iv'e met here. She said honestly.

"I think mother nature was drunk when she chose our powers" she said running a clawed hand over her almost cat like ears. She was very glad and mystified when the other girl started playfully nibbling on her tail. With a smile she brought her other tail around behind Frank attempting to rub her other cheek, this also required her to step closer to her new friend. It still was not the most comfortable thing for her, but she was trying.

"My Parents saw me as monster. Brought ina preist to get the demons out" she said considering her parents. They had been less then supportive of her new form. It was hard to blame them, she was a five foot rodent or something like a rodent.

[Frank "Sunny" Laffont]

"That's 'cuz you just got here," said Frank, shrugging. If nothing else, she'd force Solkat to interact with her own section of friends. Most of said friends probably wouldn't engage in much of the tail nibbling, though Frank could not say this with absolute certainty. Like did draw like, after all. For now though, she was contending herself with nibbling.

The drunk mother nature comment made Frank giggle (not that this was particularly hard). It certainly did make as much sense as any other explanation for why they had such utterly random mutations. Frank usually liked the explanation that there was some kind of crazy Fate out there controlling people and giving them all this weird stuff, but that could just be someone writing that to make a pun. Frank was, after all, a good deal more concerned about chewing on the fluffy tail. Then she was more concerned with petting the new tail that came up to her face, thus positioning her between two tails.

The mention of parents did make Frank drop the tails for a moment, putting her serious face on for several seconds. "That suuuucks," she said, sounding sad and sympathetic. "My parents just decided that it was a good excuse to send me out of the country for boarding school, but man, priests and exorcisms... oh, oh, is it like the movie? Did you get sprinkled with holy water and have the priest be all like 'I command you to leave this child!'" Frank gestured, then grabbed Solkat by the shoulders, shaking her enthusiastically. "And did you projectile vomit at them? That's totally what I would've done; would've been all like muurgggh," and she gestured, making the face and sort of pretending that she was, well, vomiting all over Solkat, even rubbing at the other girl a bit. This did lead to more giggling, of course.

[Solkat Siun]

"It was terrifying, then by body decided to spray him in the face. I got away then and eventually ran into a guy recruiting for this place." She said closeing her eyes as she recalled the event. Before she opened her eyes she found herself being shaken by the shoulders. Solkat wondered if apart of Frank's power was a permanent sugar high or some other high energy inducing thing. The fake vomiting and giggling, made Solkat laugh a bit as well.

"You seem really calm about all this. Your not scared of what we are? What people might think of us? People are going to dislike us.....More so those like me" she said with a sigh. She had no idea how the other girl seemed to deal with this so easily. SOlkat knew she was terrified and scared of it all. Scared it would never go away.

SHe had no idea the vast array of powers that might be out there in the world but she knew people would not be to accepting of their differences. People could barely deal with each other much less some strange new force.

With a soft smile she pressed her fury body against the other female in a hug. Frank was by far the best thing that had happened to her in the past week or so. Frank had even made the skunk girl feel somewhat normal. She had certainly neven been ambushed by attractive girls before hand.

[Frank "Sunny" Laffont]

"That. Sounds. Awesome!" said Frank, letting out a little cheer. She raised her hand to give Solkat a high five and, instead of waiting for Solkat to return like a normal person, she grabbed Solkat's hand and slapped it against hers, adding a "boom" because everyone knew that sound effects were always necessary.

As for the other part, Frank shrugged. "I don't worry about stuff like that. People loooooove me," she nudged Solkat, grinning wide. "And who cares if people don't like us? They're the stupid assfaces that are missing out on the awesome, not us," Frank then shrugged and then moved into a hug. Frank softly stroked the, well, soft parts of Solkat, cooing a little as she did. So soft, so huggable. Frank was half tempted to ask if she could just drag Solkat into her room so they could cuddle or something. And since this was Frank:

"You are so soft and cuddly; I want to just stuff you full of squishy and take you into my bedroom," she cooed, giving another squeeze to the hug. see, a normal person might have stopped and thought about how that could sound creepy (it really didn't, because Frank said it in a semi-non-creepy fashion) or how that could possibly be taken the wrong way. But Frank wasn't big on the whole "thinking before speaking" thing. So she just sort of went with it.

There was some more petting too.

[Solkat Siun]

Awesome was certainly not how she would have described it. Scary and terrifying seems a better description, but she was sure Frank was tougher then she was. Solkat was more adept to hide from issues and let them go away then she was confronting them head on. The forced high five and the boom sound was unexpected and made her laugh some. Solkat had never met anyone like Frank and was a bit overwhelmed by the girl's sheer amount of energy.

Frank seemed the confident, brave and beautiful woman Solkat had always wanted to be. SHe was certainly more aggressive then Solkat as well. Was it really better to be on this side of the fence then still human? Solkat had trouble seeing how other then the one shining example in front of her.

Solkat's mind fetched several extremely perverse images of Frank and herself as the word Squishy pierced her mind. SHe had no idea what the term meant but Solkat's mind only interpreted one way. And her bedroom? Was Frank asking her for something more intimate? Solkat was confused and was glad her fur hid the blush on her cheeks, or she hoped it did, her fur was thinner on her face. Solkat had never actually been with another person not off the Internet and within ten minutes she had met a woman who wanted to sleep with her and cuddle. "That Sounds wonderful!" she said with a bright smile. SHe had never been asked such a thing by a girl and in a rare show of confidence she was determined to see it threw. This place might be awesome after all. Most of what Solkat knew of the furry term related to sexual thing's as well, though she had never looked to close into it.

[Frank "Sunny" Laffont]

Frank giggled as Solkat sounded enthusiastic. she pulled away from the other girl, though not without petting her a few more times. "That does sound awesome, but I don't think people can survive being stuff. I mean, I probably could, but that would mean, like, eating all the stuffing, and I don't think that really counts as being stuffed in like, the most literal sense. I dunno. But it's totally cool of you to offer! Oh, oh, oh, where were you going?" Frank turned around and looked all about, trying to figure out if they were in a particular area or if there was hints at a particular direction that someone could be going. Frank had interrupted Solkat, well, more or less, so she figured that there might be something that she'd interrupted the other girl at doing.

"You just got here, right? So, like, were you looking for the dorms or the food place, man that reminds me, I'm hungry," Frank dug about in her pockets, humming a little as she searched. Soon enough, she was pulling out a packet of beef jerky. It looked like a dog or other animal had gotten to it and nibbled at the sides. Frank took another chunk of it, eating plastic and meat alike. Apparently she had no difficulties chewing the jerky either, since she gnashed at it like a machine. "But yeah, I could totally help you get where you needed to go, or show you some places or something. I so know this place like the back of my hand already."

[Solkat Siun]

"Oh you meant that kinda stuffing...." she said surprised and embarrassed. SHe needed to get control over herself. SHe was still unsure what squishy meant and she was more confused then ever. She had a feeling she was missing some kind of signal somewhere a long the line. Her next question was preempted by her friend asking where she had been heading.

"Nothing in particular i was really just wondering" she said not actually recalling if she had a destination or not. Further thoughts were lost as her friend began eating beef jerky including the bag. It was interesting to watch as the girl had little trouble at all. Solkat's teeth could get through the bag but her stomach was unlikely to be able to digest plastic.

"I have not looked around to much but I'm up for whatever, spending time with you will be great" she said not really caring what they did but wanting to spend more time with frank if only to pine the mysteries of the girl. Every time she seemed to suggest something sexual in nature it seemed covered up the next moment. Looking back at the Academy the place really was huge, she wondered how many students were actually there and what happoned to them after all of this went down. Frank might blend in but solkat knew she never could.
