(._. What? I...don't see anything saying you're not accepting Pet...

So confused! D: I don't want to be breaking any rules!)
Alexandria/Melanie Stryder
I walked out, following everybody else. I tried to stay on my feet and not give in to the temptation of just walking on all fours. How do humans walk on these stilts? Alright. The lunch room. Can't be sitting on my own. Time for another trick. This might be harder than the teacher, since I'm influencing three people. I picked out a table of three people chatting and started towards it after getting my tray of food. They looked popular and a quick but taxing scan confirmed it. They weren't too bright, though. I push against their will and make them more compelling to agree and ask, "Mind if I influe- sit with you?"
They agreed, as I thought they would despite my mistake, and I sat as the table grew in numbers. They started to gossip and I listened, only half interested. Time to use those thirty minutes of power. I took a deep breath to steady myself for such a large task. First, I connected myself to the mind of my bat plushy, which was in the bag next to me. Then, I took in the thoughts of the group sitting around me, learned how to use these appendages easier, and moved on. I blocked out the multitudes of thoughts trying to get into my mind and searched for walls. Somebody trying to forget something or shield themselves from someone. I opened the eyes I hadn't realized I'd been closing and glanced around me. The girls were looking a bit uneasy, a side-effect of my mind searching. I took in two more deep breaths, trying to maintain the connection to my bat. He amplified my powers, but here in the human world, he was limited, too. I kept searching, until I found it: the walls (Katie's). I pushed against them, learning only common knowledge: lunch and relief. Maybe I was falsely looking, but I feel insecure in this skin.
Deep breaths.. I took three more.
I also learned from my mind-searching that Torunn was here. I sent a thought to him.
Torunn. It is I, Alexandria. Did Death tell you to wait until he got here? I received no messages from him before coming here. My cover name is Melanie.(long post.. Keep coming to me, muse! >:D Then we shall take over the world!)
