Mood: Confused, amused

When I realized that I had slipped into Japanese, I mentally slapped myself. Then I smirked at Anastesia. "Oh, don't worry about that. It won't actually burn you. I can control it." I held up a hand and instantly, the fire from the roses swirled up into a giant fireball then condensed into a small flame that hovered over my palm.

"I suppose you guys think I'm a bit of a freak, huh? I figured that if we're stuck here I might as well just get it over with. I'll probably be locked up for this..." I dissipated the flames and sat back down on the grass. "Oh, and Avery, do you speak Japanese?" I waited for a reply to see if he did. He probably didn't. He didn't seem like that type of guy to me.

I'm gonna have to drop out of this RP...sorry guys :(

[[ No way. Your name's Danika, too? I have never met a single soul with my name before. O.o You are awesome. ]]

Name: Avery Kyle Moore
Sin: Pride
Power: Lie-detector

Avery could see by the two girls's expressions that they were pleased to see him, like people usually were. They saw a handsome, Australian devil. Just like everyone else. When the white-haired girl started saying something in what would be gibberish in his eyes if he hadn't watched so many movies in his time (he somehow managed to identify it as Japanese or something like that), he noticed that she sounded a bit angry towards the end. Well, it wasn't his fault, whatever had caused it.

Avery chuckled when she caused the rosebush to catch on fire, always enjoying a show. Yeah, he should probably freaked out, but he couldn't find it in himself to be like that. He just took it in stride because, after all, he was a human lie-detector. He wasn't going to tell them that, yet, though. He wanted to see if they would lie to him first. Was it some sort of coincidence that they were both here and they could both do...weird things?

He was amused by his own actions. Here he was acting as if it was totally normal for a girl to be able to set roses on fire. Not only that, but in front of him were two girls that were obviously talking to him, but he couldn't understand a word they were saying. And yet, he just let them keep on talking, grinning the entire time. He was entirely sure of himself even though he couldn't speak whatever language they were speaking in.

Avery had no idea what question Danika (that was her name, right?) asked in a different language, so he just shrugged at it, hoping that would be an appropriate answer. Then he turned to the blue-haired girl whose name he had to acquire. He asked with mild curiosity and it was clear from the tone of his voice that he didn't really care why she had a British accent - he was only saying it in an effort to be polite or to start a bit of small-talk, "You're a Pom, miss...?" he added a questioning note to the end, attempting to get a name out of her.

.<< Anastesia >>.

Anastesia smirked at Avery. Clearly he was the playboy type. Should I give him my name? Inwardly, she shrugged. Why not? He doesn't seem to be the stalker type. "I'm Anastesia Shozu." she said with a pleasent smile. She motioned to Danika; "..And she's Danika." Anastesia shuffled awkwardly. She wasn't sure what else to say to Avery, everything she wanted to ask would probably make her feel more awkward. She never was completely comfortable with strangers...
I guess that's why they're called strangers.

{alright, well see ya then}

Sin: Pride
Feeling: Annoyed
With: No one
Crush: Well...

Zoe smiled slightly as he caught onto her look and answered with his name. Jonah, a nice name she supposed. Her eyebrows rose with amusement as the other girl called her Zoe-Zoe. She held back a chuckle with great difficulty and just grinned at the girl. She found the name entertaining though irritating at the same time. Her shoulders shook ever so slightly with silent laughter at the name.

"Just one Zoe will do fine Akira-Chie, oh and nice to meet you as well Jonah." She added inclining her head to both boy and the girl standing on the steps. She smiled slightly at both, looking them over. Jonah was kinda cute she decided after a moment, and Akira-Chie seemed like she was a nice girl. She ignored the thoughts that filtered into her mind for Erika and mentally rolled her eyes at the silly girl.

"I believe I am correct in thinking you are Chinese?" She asked Akira-Chie, though her question was more statement oriented than a question. She could tell both by the girl's name and her accent.

[Placebo Effect]

"One Zoe. Not Zoe-Zoe just Zoe?" She continued walking down the stairs, knowing it was rude to stay stood up there out of the way when she way having a conversation - it was making poor Zoe and Jonah have to look up to talk to her. She stopped at the foot of the stairs, hanging back slightly with a slight fear over these new people. Akira was a little shy until she knew someone properly - then she'd trust you.

"Yes. Chinese." Such a liar. She was born in England but moved to China a few months later. She also prefered to say she was Chinese since the English language was such a hard thing to grasp hold of for her. She wrapped her arms around herself with a faint smile. "And you are?"

Everyone is entitled to an opinion it's just that yours is stupid.

When my name was mentioned, I nodded my head and said nothing more. I didn't think it was necessary to add anything else. However, I was pretty curious to see if I was the only freak. "Hey, do you guys have any like.. odd abilities? I mean, I can control fire. Am I the only one with a power?" If I was, I would feel even more alone. No one got me anyway.

(Sorry for the shortness.. >.< In pain from my ankle.)

Name: Avery Kyle Moore
Sin: Pride
Power: Lie-detector

Avery nodded, still smiling, to Anastesia and Danika, each in turn, when Anastesia introduced both herself and Danika. Danika definitely seemed like the quiet type, but he didn't think that bothered him very much. It only made him more curious - he lived by the saying that the quiet ones were the ones that you had to look out for. They were the ones that, when alone, made his heart beat the fastest. Anastesia was clearly a bit uncomfortable, which he found amusing. Most girls were like that when he was around. They were either a giggling mess or an uncertain, shy person. He'd learned long ago to take both reactions as a compliment.

Upon hearing Danika's question, Avery's attention went directly to her. What a brave soul to announce to them both that she had an ability. He supposed that her demonstration with the rose bush was enough, but he knew that he'd never told anyone about what he could do. He wasn't ashamed of it because he thoguht it was actually very helpful, he just wanted to keep it a secret so that no one could take advantage of him (although he'd be flattered if they tried to) and so that he could continue to practice it without people knowing why the charming young man before them knew every lie they were telling them. It drew people in, made them interested in him. Not that he really needed much else besides his appearance.

Despite his moment of uncertainty, Avery made up his mind within a second. It wasn't a big deal to him, really. It only made him think even higher of himself. "I can tell when people are lying," he informed her with a shrug, feinting modesty. He knew it was fake because, inside him, there was a roiling, crazed sensation that indicated pride that was free to run loose without any restraint. He was unable to hide his self-satisfaction for very long and he grinned, tacking on more information. "Every time. One-hundred percent accuracy."

.<< Anastesia >>.

Anastesia raised her eyebrows in suprise. "Really? That must be pretty useful." she said with a small smile. She couldn't help but state the obvious. She scratched her head and tried to think of a more...delicate way to talk about her power. It was beyond weird, nothing as heard-of from comics or movies as fire or as subtle and simply unique as a lie-decetore inside your own head. Anastesia sighed. " I uh... I'm not really sure about mine. I have one, it's just.. Really hard to explain." She tried not to laugh at herself, she felt totally ridiculous talking about it. "Unique" is not a strong enough word to talk about what's going on with me. Anastesia started to bite her lip as she thought about how exactly to word her power without making it sound totally and completely stupid.

"I can like...well when I'm hurt, and my survival instincts kick in or I go totally off the map emotionally, my blood shoots out of my injuries like...well, bullets. Pretty intense right?" She was giving probably the most nervous smile known to man, if these people even thought she was a freak, there was no way she would ever be normal again. She discovered her power when she went joy riding in her step-father's car. She crashed into a tree, hard, and nearly killed herself. A couple guys she owed some money to tried dragging her out to get "some payment" from her, but it didn't work out. Her fear of those guys and adrenaline from the accident mixed with the fact she was in so much pain from the collision, she exploded. Or rather, he blood did. She passed out after the incident, and when she woke up on the sidewalk, both guys where either passed out from bleeding so much or they were dead. Anastesia didn't wait around to find out though. She ran all the way back home with a bleeding forehead coupled with a concussion, a broken left hand, and cuts and gashes all over her legs, chest and arms. Just thinking about it made her heart beat so much faster. After that day, she never got enough of adrenaline. It was worth it though...right? She tried to convince herself it was true, but logic always had to be the elephant in the room.
