Darkest Powers (Fallen Catalyst and HarpyAshe 5)

[Fallen]

Eden frowned slightly. She watched for a moment before heading after Vivian to make sure she was alright.

Jacoby glanced to Everett and came over to him. “Well. She flew an apple from the counter to her hand and then freaked out and messed with all the cabinets.. so confirms your theory..” he explained faintly.

Stella nodded. “Alright. That’s reasonable. I just thought I’d offer. Wouldn’t want you getting in trouble or anything.” She explained gently.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Vivian ran up to their bedroom and into the bathroom, closing the door behind her and leaning against it. There wasn't a lock for any of the doors so leaning against it would make it so no would could get it. Not easily anyways. She sobbed and wiped at the tears running down her cheeks, scared. It had been weeks since she wad accidentally moved something and that hadn't been around other people...

Everett raised an eyebrow at the explanation before he nodded his head slowly, motioning for Jacoby to follow him as he headed up the stairs. He wanted to talk to Vivian, from he reaction it seemed that she knew exactly what he had done.

Albany nodded, looking up when she heard a door slam. She was quiet for a moment before she just got up from her chair and went over to the bed instead.

[Fallen]

Eden frowned and followed her into the bedroom. She shut the door and came close to the bathroom. “It’s okay Vivian. I’m not gonna tell or anything. It was just a little surprising.” She explained softly, sitting on the other side of the door.

Jacoby nodded and followed after Everett. He doubted the girls would let them in but he trusted Everett’s judgement on the matter.


Stella frowned slightly. “That didn’t sound good. Think it’s Everett or who having a bit of a fit?” She asked, knowing they all could get pretty explosive.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Vivian sobbed loudly when she heard Eden had followed her into the bedroom, trying to calm herself down before she accidentally moved something else."No one here knows that I can do that...they don't know the full story of what happened before I got here....If I told them they would think I'm even crazier than they do now!"

Everett took two steps at a time to get up to the girls room, going to knock but he decided to give it a moment. He didn't handle people crying all to well so maybe it was best to give Eden a chance to calm Vivian down at least a little bit."So you said she messed with the cabinet, opened them up without touching them?"

"It's coming from next door. So either Vivian or the new girl," Albany said with a shrug.

[Fallen]

She nodded slightly. “That’s okay. Nobody will find out cause there’s no benefit to anyone telling on you.” She reassured gently.

Jacoby nodded. “Yeah. After she flew an apple from the counter to where she was standing.” He explained.

Stella shrugged. “Vivian is usually pretty chill. So probably Eden.”

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"I make things move with my mind Eden, that is not normal!" Vivian cried, sniffling and sobbing some more,"I don't know what's wrong with me, I don't know how to control it or stop it."

"Huh, interesting. I read her file, the reason that she's here is she supposedly tried to cut one of the kids from the orphanage she was at with a knife, even though she tried saying over and over that she didn't do it." Everett said, shrugging,"Maybe it was her powers that did it by accident."

"Yeah probably. I haven't been around the new girl enough to figure out what screw is exactly loose up there," Albany replied.

[Fallen]

“It’s okay. We’ll figure it out. And we all have some weirdness going on.” Eden assured gently. “It’ll stay secret. Jacoby won’t say anything and neither will I.” She promised.

“Maybe.” Jacoby shrugged. “That sounds possible at least.”

Stella nodded. “Hmm. Well probably something fun. Just like us.”

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"It's not just weird it's freaky. I feel like a freak," Vivian said, wiping at her cheeks. She was somewhat succeeding in keeping her feeling down, she did noticed something that when she was feeling off or her emotions were going crazy, that's when things started moving around worse.

"We can probably ask her about it, once we go in there," Everett said, giving it more time. He could hear the two of them talking in there, advanced hearing and all."We're probably gonna have to tell her what I told Eden."

[Fallen]

Eden nodded. “You’re not a freak.” She promised. “Come out here and we can curl up under blankets. It’ll be alright. It might be kinda strange but it makes you unique. I don’t know anyone else who can do that.”

Jacoby nodded slightly. “Probably. I don’t think Vivian will tel the docs. I don’t think any of us would honesty.”

(I love your new profile pic!)

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( Oh thank you hahaha you could tell that was me? I dressed up like one of my roleplay characters and I thought I looked pretty damn hot, for a girl cosplaying as a dude that is XD ))

Vivian sniffled and sobbed some more listening to Eden's words, after a little bit of hesitation she did open up the door for her, still crying though."I don't know what's wrong with me..."

"No I don't either. Cause if any of the tell on us, well, they're telling on themselves too," Everett said with a shrug.

[Fallen]

((I dunno how I could tell it was you but it just clicked in my brain somehow. xD You did a pretty awesome cosplay.)

Eden got up for a moment and brought over the soft blanket she'd been allowed to get at the store. She offered it to Vivian. "It's alright. I don't know what's wrong with me either. But we'll sort it out."

Jacoby nodded. "exactly. It's our insurance basically." He agreed quietly. He heard the girls calming a bit and glanced over at Everett.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( Haha, it's probably pretty obvious if you give it a closer look xD but thank you! ))

Vivian took the blanket when it was offered to it, liking how soft it was. She wrapped it around her shoulders, wiping more at her tears with her hands and nodding.

Everett heard this too and knocked a few times on the door, actually trying to be polite. Normally he would just swing the door open.

[Fallen]

(You’re welcome xD)

Eden glanced at the door and stood when she heard the knock. She glanced to Vivian to make sure she’d be okay before heading over and opening the door slightly to see who was there. Everett and Jacoby certainly weren’t who she was expecting. “Uhh. Hey. What’s up?” She asked, not going to just let them in.

Jacoby waited until the door opened before speaking up. He figured he could be a bit more gentle than Everett and that might be necessary. “Hi. We just came to talk to you both for a few. That alright?”

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Everett looked when the door opened, keeping his mouth shut so Jacoby could talk to Eden first. Vivian wasn't afraid of Jacoby like she was of him so it would probably be best if he be silent for as long as possible.

Vivian looked at who it was, shrinking back when she saw Jacoby. She just hated that he had seen what had happened with her, he probably thought she was a freak or something...Well, she pretty much was really. She did nod after a second of hesitation though."You can come in."

[Fallen]

Eden glanced to Vivian and stepped back to let them in once Vivian had given the okay. She looked back to the boys, shooting a pointed glance towards Everett as she wondered if this was about what he'd been talking to her about earlier. She shut the door behind the boys.

Jacoby thanked them and stepped into the room. He glanced over at Vivian. "Are you feeling alright?" He asked kindly, coming over and sitting on the floor of the room near her.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Everett walked in with Jacoby, staying by the door though and not going in much further. He wanted to ask Vivian a lot of questions, but he was holding back so he didn't scare the girl off.

Vivian looked back at Jacoby, sitting on the edge of Eden's bed. She was afraid of what he was going to tell her...was he gonna tattle on her? She shrugged at his question, not saying anything.

[Fallen]

Eden frowned a bit at Vivian's lack of a reply. She went over and sat by her, glancing at the guys quietly.

Jacoby sighed quietly. "We wanted to come talk to you cause what happened downstairs, it kinda is further proof that what they say is wrong with us isn't quite right and that there's something kinda strange happening." He explained.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Vivian listened to him, furrowing her eyebrows at his words and she looked over at him."What do you mean? You don't think what they tell us is right?"

[Fallen]

Jacoby nodded. "Pretty much yeah. We've figured out that what they said isn't right for us. And we've got some theories about most everyone else here too." He explained. "They've told you you're crazy for whatever reason but that doesn't add up. Crazy doesn't let you move stuff without touching it."

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Vivian furrowed her eyebrows as she listened to Jacoby, looking around in between the 3 of them."What sorta stuff do you mean? Like...what theories do you have about everyone?"

[Fallen]

Eden nodded. “Well. Everett hinted to me earlier that I’m possibly a necromancer.” She admitted faintly before glancing to the guys.

Jacoby nodded. “Correct...” he agreed. He glanced to Everett to see if he wanted to be the one to share his theories.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"A what?" Vivian said, having no idea what that was and she, again, looked in between everyone.

Everett saw Jacoby looking at him and he stepped forward a bit, not too much though. He could practically smell the fear coming off of Vivian whenever she looked at him."I don't think any of us here are here for the reason they say we are. You're not here because you had some kinda fit at the orphanage and accidentally hurt a kid, you're here because you can do the things you do with your mind."

Vivian's eyes widened when she heard Everett's words, blinking at him."You read my file."

Everett shrugged his shoulders at her words."I read everyone's."

[Fallen]

Eden shrugged. “That’s just what they told me. I dunno.” She mumbled. She watched them all quietly.

“He even read mine. It’s annoying but he understands it all pretty well.” Jacoby assured. He didn’t answer as to what his abilities were.

(For Jacoby as an angel, what abilities besides healing might he have?)

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( Mhhh, I don't play angels too often haha flight? He could have wings? And maybe be able to control light maybe, like bend it in a way? ))

Everett shrugged at Jacoby's words, motioning to Eden."Necromancers basically are able to see and hear spirits and, more powerful ones, are actually able to raise the dead. So like stuff you see in some horror movies."

Vivian listened to that, looking over at Eden. Then it clicked in her head."You said you heard people the day that they sent you to the hospital."

[Fallen]

((Ooh, okay. Maybe for right now he's got healing and the ability to bend light but in the future he could possibly end up with wings?)

Eden nodded slightly. "I think I probably tuned them out before and then it suddenly clicked I guess and I could hear them. It got worse when I went to the hospital." She explained. "Then they put me on drugs that muffled it a bit but made me feel foggy."

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( Yeah that could work! (: Albany is gonna have wings too, so we're gonna have two fliers! :D ))

Vivian listened to the explanation, nodding slowly afterwards."So those weren't voices in your head, those were ghosts?"

"Kind of," Everett said with a shrug of his shoulders, leaning against one of their desks slightly.

[Fallen]

(Yay! That'll be fun! :D )

Eden glanced over at Everett. "If you already seem to have theories about everyone, why would you want me to try and help?" She asked him curiously, tilting her head.

Jacoby shrugged. "We're not super sure about all the theories, they're just possible. But if half of us have strange abilities, I'd think it's likely that all of us do."

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( It will haha ))

Everett listened to the both of them and nodded."I figured yours would be the easiest to crack. Everyone else when they came here had seemed to buy what the doctors told them, you didn't. So I figured I'd start with you rather than them. And I have no idea what everyone else is, I'm trying to come up with ideas in my head on what Vivian could be based on what I've seen her do."

Vivian squirmed a little bit in her spot on the bed, having stopped crying finally so she was just wiping the tears that were still there off of her cheeks.

[Fallen]

:D

Eden nodded. "Well, yeah. I don't buy bullshit when they're just looking to match me to a piece of paper and stick the label to me." She commented quietly. "Well, apparently there are still 4 of us who have something going on. So it shouldn't be too hard. Make note of possible things the others have happening and then find lore that fits. Just like diagnosing us with craziness except with more fantasy stuff."

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Vivian listened to Eden, pushing her hair behind her ear as she spoke."Wait so, what are you guys?" She looked over at Everett and Jacoby when she asked this, tilting her head curiously.

Everett frowned when that was asked, clearing his throat and shaking his head. No way.

[Fallen]

Eden rolled her eyes at Everett's sudden reaction. She could understand wanting to keep it under wraps but at the same time, he was labeling everyone else.

Jacoby glanced to Vivian. "From the lore we've found, it's likely that I'm an angel or some variant." He replied, not admitting he was sure of it.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Vivian nodded at Jacoby's words, thinking that was kinda crazy. An angel? Wow. She then glanced to Everett, wondering if he would tell.

"Not a chance blondie," Everett grumbled, adjusting the way he was standing,"So we know what 3 of us are, question is now is what the hell is Vivian and the others?"

[Fallen]

Jacoby shrugged at her. "It's weird, i know. But we're just gonna roll with it." He commented.

Eden nodded slightly. "I'll read through the rest of that book and see if anything adds up for anyone else. Do you have some things you've noticed about any of the others yet?"

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"Well I read everyone's files, most of us have a similar experience to get here: did something in front of people that were labeled as an outburst. From what I read on Albany's record, she had a similar sorta experience to what happened with Vivian, she lashed out at her parents and, according to the file, her mother flew across the room after Albany pushed her. But Albany said that she never touched her," Everett said with a shrug,"Payton's was a little different, his parents apparently brought him to the hospital claiming he was possessed? After some analysis on him, they deemed him having some sort of emotional disorder and shipped him here. Which makes no sense to me cause Payton is the most put together person here."

(( I don't know about your characters backstories...haha ))

[Fallen]

Eden nodded. She got up and made a few notes in one of her notebooks. She wrote in shorthand though so the doctors hopefully wouldn't understand her scribbles but she felt like she had to try and mark everyone's down to get a better idea of their stories.

(Okay, we've got Eden's. And Jacoby's I'll figure out later. For stella, maybe she convinced someone to harm/kill someone so they just think she's nuts and psychopathic or something. For shane, maybe similar to Payton with sorta being possessed, multiple personalities sorta thing, could've shown up at home covered in someone's blood or something and been sent there? How do those sound?)

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( Oh okay, yeah I remember Stella is a silenti, I just can't remember which character that was from the book...Oh man, which character was it, what was the silenti? Haha for Shane, that sounds good though! ))

[Fallen]

(I haven't read the books yet lol so I dunno! But cool! We've got backstory now)

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( I found it hahaha silenis are able to see visions! ))

[Fallen]

(Ah. Okay!)

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"As for Shane, same kinda thing with Payton, just worse. He came home one had with a shit ton of blood on himself. His parents called the police right away and Shane was trying to explain what had happened, that he hadn't done it on purpose, but his parents thought he was possessed. Now here he is. And Stella got shipped her after, according to her parents anyways, she convinced someone to cut themselves and her parents thought she was crazy," Everett explained everyone elses deal.

"That doesn't sound right at all. Stella wouldn't make someone hurt themselves...And I don't talk to Shane a lot, but I certainly have never thought he was dangerous," Vivian said, surprised to hear how the others got here.

[Fallen]

Eden nodded and made a few more notes at all their explanations. She didn’t know what they all were quite yet but she was curious to do more research and find out.

Jacoby nodded. “Yeah. It doesn’t really add up. Shane seems too quiet and nice to be so violent. And it’s hard to picture Stella harming someone.”

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"Well it's the same kinda thing as you blondie, you're here because you hurt some kid right?" Everett asked Vivian.

Vivian frowned when Everett asked that, sighing heavily and rubbing her forehead. She figured she should probably tell them why she was here."When I was at the orphanage, I had gone to see what my real parents looked like after managing to track them down. They...hadn't been excited to see me. I was in the courtyard of the orphanage a few days later when a few windows around just broke, for no reason. The caretakers said that I threw a rock at them but I didn't! And a few days after that, I was managing sandwiches with the younger kids when one of them reach for the knife. I reached over to stop them, but when I did....she just went flying back into the cabinets. I hadn't even touched her though..."

[Fallen]

Eden nodded. She made a few quick notes about Vivians story. “That sounds terrible. I’m sorry that happened to you.” She commented quietly.

Jacoby nodded at her explanation. “So yours seems to be triggered a lot by stress. And when you do it, it stresses you even more?” He guessed.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"Thank you," Vivian replied to Nora's words, looking at Jacoby and shrugging,"I guess so. That's what happened in the kitchen. I did it by accident and then when I started getting scared, it just made it worse."

[Fallen]

Jacoby nodded. “Besides when you get scared, are you able to just do it without thinking or do you have to focus on getting things to actually move where you want to?” He asked curiously.

Eden glanced over at Everett, wondering what he thought about this all.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"I've never done it on purpose before. I just kinda...happens," Vivian said with a shrug, looking up at him. It was still kinda hard to believe that this was happening. She knew something was up with her, she just didn't know it was this.

"Probably just need practice with it," Everett said.

[Fallen]

Jacoby nodded. "Yeah, probably. Though here isn't the best place to really practice. For obvious reasons." He commented. "Hopefully someday though. Cause that could be super useful in the future."

Eden nodded slightly.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"She can try to lift small things," Everett said with a shrug,"As long as you doesn't, you know, throw it against the wall or something like that."

"That's my problem, almost everything hits the wall," Vivian grumbled, sighing heavily and just trying to make sense of everything that was going on right now. This was all a lot of information to take in.

[Fallen]

Eden shrugged. "Then I'll help you practice in here. If we use small or soft stuff like a balled up shirt, it won't make much noise if it hits the wall or anything." She suggested.

Jacoby nodded. "That might be worth a shot, let you start to control it a bit."

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"I guess," Vivian said, voice sounding skeptical. She just wasn't sure how that would go. It seemed like a very hard thing to control, she hadn't been able to do it since she realized it was happening after all.

"You'll get it," Everett said, crossing his arms over his chest,"As for the other ones, I don't even know who to start trying to talk to first. I don't even know what everyone else is."
