"I know. And I'm sorry. Don't get upset your powers are reacting to that," he said softly.

"Do you think I'll ever be able to use them?'
"Of course you will. It just takes some time to get the hang of them kiddo," Lucas said with a smile.
"How long did it take you to get yours?"
Lucas thought back to the struggle he had controlling his powers, "it took me about a year to have them fully controlled."
"That just seems like such a long time....I'll keep practicing though "
He put his hand on her shoulder, "I'm sure you'll get it faster than me. You just that much cooler."
She grinned, leaning into him. "You're cool too!" She protested.
"Not as cool as you though," he smiled. "Now let's go home," he said seeing the girl was gone.((Sorry. I'm a bit rusty with rping.))
((You're fine :) And you post first or me?))
((Sure.))Jenna left with her brother.
((hey I'm here, late but here...))He found himself at a tall building and ran to the shelter from the smoke. He could find a corner and hide.
Mod
Cody was inside, trying to find books that weren't in too bad shape. He heard someone come in, and automatically loosened his sword in it's scabbard. "Hello?" He called out cautiously.
Park closed the door behind him, still panting from the running.Someone was calling to him.
He swallowed, closing his eyes as he quickly found a voice that felt trustworthy and used.
"Hello...Sorry for bursting in."
It occurred to him that he might look tragic, with tears streaking his face from the out of control running, and he wiped his eyes with his hoody sleeve, pulling up the hood in the process.
Mod
Cody always asked people if they needed anything when he saw them. That's just the type of person he was.
He nodded, not wanting to talk anymore. The guy seemed alright.Park walked further into the building, closer to the stranger. The place was oddly tranquil, and he couldn't put his finger on it. Was it the silence, the atmosphere? There was noises, but not like outside-subtler, richer noises. Creaking wood, hollow footsteps, dripping water. It was nothing he hadn't heard before...
"Who are you?"
He needed to understand this guy before he could take anything from him-or ask, more likely.
Mod
"Park." He replied, trying to keep what voice he'd chosen steady. He moved past Cody and further into the room, looking up at the windows around the sides of the building. It brought life to the room."I was looking for food. I'm sorry I stumbled on...whatever you have here."
Cody seemed like the guy who deserved most of Park's intentions. Something about him just felt okay, trustable.
Mod
Mod
((k, you're fine man , I gotta sleep too lol))
Park nodded, taking one of the bars and unwrapping it, biting into it slowly. These were...good...He ate faster, drinking the water and swallowing two protein bars before he remembered Cody in the room, watching him.
"...thanks..."
Mod
He gave a small smile in return, still nervous about being around the stranger."I'm not intruding on your space?"
He needed to be sure.
Mod
((Mind if I bring one of my characters in?))
"Mm." He nodded, trying to understand. He hadn't read in years, and it had never occurred to him that it existed as something to do besides just...survive. That's all he'd ever done anyways.He picked up his remaining water and protein bar and walked further in, looking around on his own volition. Cody seemed okay with him doing his quiet snooping, all things besides. He had an air of calm that surrounded him, something that washed over everything in the room and into every hidden corner and personality. It made Park feel included.
((yeah, you're welcome to come in anytime :)))
Mod
"I move around." He replied, raspy. His fingers went to touch the spines of the unharmed books, engrossed in their existence
Mod
He nodded, kneeling to look at the books on the bottom shelf. They were all fairly survived-he'd never so many books at once. This was an amazing place to live.He picked up a short children's novel and leaned against the bookcase, reading. Even though the message was silly and the title was about some time traveling kids, it felt...ethereal. Unreal.
Mod
He nodded, feeling tired and calm. Was it possible for a person to make an entire room feel so peaceful? Maybe that was Cody's secret power or something-just calm peacefulness everywhere. Park liked his company.He leaned back against the bookshelf, reading
Mod
For about a half an hour he listened to the breathing of the other man, calm and content with the atmosphere. He felt safer here than he'd been in a while, and it was making him drows-No. Nope.
This guy could still be planning to kill him, reading his book all nonchalant-Park may have just fallen into his calm trap. It was all an elaborate ruse. Was Cody his real name?
The thoughts filtered through him fast and unstoppable, and he kept his eyes open wide, pushing away the temptation of sleep. He hadn't slept more than a few hours at a time in the past few weeks, and he wasn't about to let this uncontrolled, swampy sleep strangle him for eight hours in a potentially unsafe place. No sir. Nope.
Mod
Park whipped around where he was seated, sending his book careening off his lap and onto the ground, pages bent."I um...I'm fine." He said in the still gravelly unchosen voice, the one he was still making up. He coughed, realizing he was being inconsistent, Cody would figure it out if he was inconsistent.
"Thanks for the offer though."
He got up to move further into the library, hopefully to find somewhere to nest up. IF he slept, WHEN he slept, it'd have to be safe, and definitely hidden. And if Cody was noticing he was tired, he may as well figure something out before Cody started grilling him about why.
Mod
Park wandered off into a corner of the library, rearranging things into a sort of hideout, tucked under a desk and near enough to the exit to be relatively secure. Snuggling into his hoody, he curled into a ball, trying to imagine being comfortable. He had to be awake in two hours. If he could wake himself up.
Maybe.
He closed his eyes and passed out, exhausted.
Mod
((lol yeah, I don't know where we want this to go quite so I was killing time. I'm good with waiting :)))
Jenna, slipped quietly into the library. she just wanted to find a couple books before running home. She was hoping not to run into anyone.((she's like 13 by the way.))
Mod
Her plan was ruined right away, Cody seeing her. "Um hey."
Jenna jumped, a bit of ice spreading from around her feet. "Um....Hi...." She was starting to gain a bit more control over her power, but it still wasn't that great.
Mod
((Elsa throwback XD))
