Sky High Role Play (In need of male characters!!!)

Wolfer

"Up next,Luke." She smiled again.

[JessieAm]

Luke clenched his fists and forced himself to walk to the platform. He stood there not really wanting to do this.

[JessieAm]

(I'm going have to do this in the morning, I really need to go to bed. Night all!)

[katyd]

((Sorry, everybody. I was unavoidably detained and couldn't make it online today. Hope I didn't put a crimp in anyone's plans.))

Melody forced herself to smile slightly. "Well, I'm actually only a freshman. I honestly don't know if I am immortal, but I'd say it's a pretty good guess. I might just have a really long lifespan, or I might only be immune to wounds. I honestly don't know, so your guess is as good as mine." She shrugged, brushing the hair out of her face. She made sure not to move the arm that Calvin had ahold of. She had never really told anyone that, let alone openly, so she wasn't sure if she was a bit woozier than she thought. Come to think of it, she was a bit dizzy.

Calvin was relieved when Melody confirmed she was just a freshman. He liked old people, but he was pretty sure he didn't want to date one, at least, not until college. "Well, me personally, I think the time for experimenting should be over," he said pointedly and smiled at Melody. She looks a bit pale, he then noticed, so he kept ahold of her arm, not wanting to let her go in case she passed out on him and he had to save her from hitting the deck.

He turned to watch a girl take the stage. "Here goes Zia," he said to the two at his side. His brief introduction to Zia, on the bus this morning, was fun. She seemed nice and pleasant, but he could still remember the feeling he got when he looked into her eyes, almost like she could see right through him, and it kind of weirded him out. Maybe she was just one of those people who are very intuitive. We'll see, he thought. She stood there and non-chalantly pulled a rose from the thin air, and then said that that was all she could do. But Calvin suspected there would be a lot more to come from her.

Zia left the stage and walked over to them. "Hello again. Nice power you have," he told her, avoiding prolonged eye contact. "I wish I could do it; sure would save me a lot of money on Valentine's Day." He sensed her disbelief, "No, seriously, it's a very positive power. People love flowers. You could be the Johnny Appleseed of flowers and just go around spreading love and happiness wherever you go."

[JessieAm]

(it's ok that you weren't online don't worry about it)

Zia snorted and rolled her eyes. Plucking a daisy from the air she waved it at Calvin and said in silly voice, "I smite thee, evil villain with the power of flowers!" She tossed the daisy onto the ground in front of her where it promptly disappeared. "Thanks for the encouragement but no thanks. I want to save the world, not grow a flower garden." Zia crossed her arms and decided to sit on the floor. She pulled her knees up to her chest, hugging them, with her back to Calvin and the others. Pulling another daisy out of the air close to her feet, she then began to pull the petals off one-by-one, in sadness or anger, she herself couldn't even tell.

Halo sighed and played with an electric current Between her fingers boredly.--Jason was wacthing the power placment carefully ,keeping a mental not of the heros and sidekicks.

Amber: "Good luck Luke" I mouthed the words to him and smiled

[Caskett]

Violet glanced at Calvin's arm around Melody, her face flushing a warm shade of pink. He seems like he really likes her. Or I'm just imagining things, she added, attempting to persuade herself that he wasn't actually in to Melody. No boy had ever cradled her in his arms like that. She sighed and sat down next to Zia, the floor hard and cold against her bare legs ((she's wearing shorts)). I'll just have to find someone else, she resolved, and stubbornly refused to acknowledge anything different. Violet decided to attempt to make conversation with Zia, to distract herself from Calvin and Melody. "Can you control what kind of flower you make? Like, could you make a poisonous one?"

[JessieAm]

Luke smiled at Amber and turned back to Wolfer.

Zia looked up as Violet sat down next to her. (I think they know each other already) "I think I can, but I have to know what the flower looks like to make it appear. It helps if I know the name if the flower too. Are there such thing as poisonous flowers?" Zia cocked her head to the side and looked at Violet.

[katyd]

Geez, these girls, they take things so seriously sometimes. Calvin frowned down at Zia and Violet from where he stood beside Melody. "I'll be back in a sec," he whispered to Melody, don't faint on me, he added, silently suggesting to her that she not allow her body's blood pressure to drop any lower. He squatted down in front of Zia, touching her ever so lightly on her leg. He looked into her eyes this time, a hard thing for him to do with her, but it was important to have that connection when he said this, "Zia," his tone was serious, he wasn't joking now, he wanted her attention, "That's what's wrong with the world these days. We do everything backward, we think backward. We wait until there is a problem to tackle it, when we should prevent the problem in the first place. Just think of all the people in this world who, because you looked them in the eyes, smiled at them, and magically produced that beautiful rose just for them, might not have a bad day, might not slap their child, might not holler at their employees, might not kick their dog, might not rob that bank; just because you took the time to make that human connection and let them know that they are valued and cared about... that they matter to someone. People all over this country are emotionally starving for just that sort of humanity. All they may need to keep themselves from turning to the darkside that day... is for someone like you to step in and say, 'You are a good person and I care enough about you to take the time out of my day to give you a moment of joy and delight'. Your power can prevent people from ever becoming villains in the first place, Zia. That's way more powerful than say Jazz's power or any other power in here. Don't belittle it. You are a very important person with a very important power. You can make a difference. The biggest difference." And with that said, he smiled at her, still holding that gaze with her. Inside, he felt like his brick wall, the one he had put in place to keep himself from ever revealing his true powers and his true self to anyone ever again, was slowly crumbling. It was a weird feeling - like a giving in, emotionally. Calvin stood up just in time to stop it from happening. What is it with that girl? he wondered, She gets to me so quickly, so easily. "So stand up and be proud of who you are young lady." Ugh! I sound like my mother!!!
