*Vera would walk out the exterior door from the premises, wearing a light green cardigan and a darker green t-shirt. Only having jeans and black combat boots. Not looking as she is dressed for the cold wintery outdoors a gust of cold wind hit her square in the face, her light porcelain skin immediately turning pink and blush around her cheeks. Walking forward in the cold dense wet snow, her teeth start to chatter, so in the cloudy light of the sun she whisked her hand and a small pinch of sunlight appears in her hand, flickering like a candle in ball form of bright light she held it close to warm herself. The sun's small amount of heat gave her warmth quickly, she pressed the small light ball into her chest and it disappeared, absorbed into her skin her cheeks were no longer pink and she did not chatter her teeth. As the warmth moved around her body the snow began to slightly melt around her steps but freeze as she left the track. Walking towards the stone bench she sat on the far side next to Lynn. Closing her eyes so she can focus on the warmth she just gave herself.*

Lynn looks up and at Vera with a very measured look on her face. She doesn't hesitate to pester her, despite the serene look on her face.

"Supernatural powers." She starts. Maybe a bit of a non sequitur, but she continues, her words almost as if recited. "Have you ever thought if anyone else out there had them, before you came to this place?" She asks. "Show me." She says, her tone halfway a request and not so much.

"Oh, my name is Lynn by the way." She extends her hand in an offering of a handshake.
Lori
*Looking over at the girl who's name was Lynn she only stared for a second inspecting the girl seeing she had a weapon, a sword at that.*
"I like to call it magic but yes it is supernatural. Fairy tales and myths were the only closest thing I can think of."
*In a calm tone explaining and answering her question, before turning her head back to the sky Vera turned back to her hand. Shaking it warmly her hand was not cold to the bone but warm and seemed to have a slight glow from the sun's light that traveled her body*
"Vera,"
Christina
"Same difference, is it not? A departure from what anyone else would call usual." She eyes her hand intently. She offers her a firm shake, before she pulls her hand back.

"So you think yourself a character from a fairytale of sorts?" She asks. "Or someone close to one, at least."

"I suppose if I had to pick a myth, I like the Lady of the Lake the best." She makes an idle comment.
Lori
"I see myself as a person in the side of the story not wanting this life only invisible to the ones who love it"
*Pulling her hand away she keeps her eyes on the girl and thinks more of her question, having been pulled away her story would been more of a villains tale how she caused damage and was sent to a prison like place.*
"Lady of the Lake is interesting I agree, giving Authur the sword of Excalibur correct? I'm more fond of the creatures than stories. Selkies are an interest for myths" *The stone seat would now start to become warmer and flow it's warmth next to her*
Christina
"How strange. You don't feel like the protagonist, even in your life?" She blinks. "Though I guess I'm not really one to talk, I suppose!"

Lynn nods. "Yes. That's the one. I wish to meet an Arthur in my life one day. It makes me wonder how long she waited to give it away, and I can't help but feel like I understand how she felt." She rests her hand on the heating stone.

"I forget, was that the horse that drowned you? Or just the water fae? They have awfully similar names, I believe." He says. "Would you have preferred water as a power over whatever it is you're doing right now?"
Lori
"Yup, just a side character, What do you mean you're not one to talk? From your story you seem like a protagonist on an adventure."
*Shuffling in her seat Vera realized she heated the stone too much and stopped heating it, letting it get cold quickly.*
"Sorry I wasn't focusing, the Selkie is a fae of sorts that has a coat that lets them turn into a seal. A siren or mermaid of sorts not a bad creature just cute as a seal. Kelpies are horses that drown you yes."
*Getting more comfortable with Lynn to talk about a subject she's interested in and enjoys. Never really talking with anyone before she came here*
"Sometimes I wish to have a watery power sure, beats bending light just to make a mistake and blind someone.."
Christina
Lynn lets out a hum as she ponders for a second. "It's only a story." She says. "I like it, but I'm no Lady of the Lake myself."
"I suppose we both have a lot to learn about each other, Vera."

"By all means, I don't mind." She pats the stone as the cold takes it once more. "I'm curious about other people's powers."
"Ah, but I've heard a lot of bad myths about sirens." She hums. "Maybe they're not bad, but good people can still be tricky, can't they? Myths have a strange tendency to fragments into different canons like that."
"If its about Selkies specifically, I don't know much. Tell me, Vera, do they trick people?"

"Have you accidentally blinded someone in the past, then? Well, you don't have to answer my question if you don't want to." She tilts her head. "But I take it you can go much stronger than you're doing right now. You're hardly brighter than a lightbulb, as it is."
Lori
"Definitely a lot to learn about one's self," *She places her hand on the stone and it warms up again with her hand now glowing a bit brighter as the light and heat moved to her hand*
"Sorry, didn't mean to take the heat from you," *She let out a little smile and a quiet chuckle at the end of her sentence. Her hand still on the stone it was now comfortably warm,*
"Well from what I've read about Selkies they are mermaids of fairy creatures called "Seal folk" And they save the lives of children or fishermen if they've fallen into the sea. They are very nice and can have human form when on land."
*Vera formed a small smile before she asked about the blinding and her neural face was back*
"Well not blinding them exactly but I did reflect light into someone's eyes and they couldn't see for an hour... Temporary blindness but it still worries me.." *Seeming to sulk in her seat Vera removed her hand from the seat and put them in her cardigan pockets.*
"Does not mean I wish to be brighter but yes I can be a "Beam of light" Some call me. Physically not mentally heh" *Making herself chuckle to rid of the past memories that were bringing her down*
Christina
"Ah. Rarer we see benevolence when it comes to myth." Lynn notes. "Makes you wonder if they keep any secrets."

"It happens." She reassures her. "I'm sure a few toddlers have done the same with a particularly powerful flashlights. Maybe some careless adults too."
"They've made weapons out of those on purpose, you know? Flashbangs and what not. You're hardly a dangerous person."

"Really, anybody can pick up a gun, or a flashlight." She shifts the sword strapped to her waist. "Even a sword. Maybe we wouldn't even win in that contest."
"But I suppose the supernatural part of it all would be a curiosity. But then again, I don't think they do experiments here in Newton's Cradle."
"Well, if they say its to keep us safe, I'm willing to play their game. Do you believe we're safe here, Vera?" Again with the awkward questions.
Lori
"A mystery all myths keep, never though I wanted to find out but you peaked my interest in that."

"You just explained my power is of a dangerous person..." *A bit annoyed she finds a way to redeem her "Dangerous" Power* A gun and a sword need sight to use them it so I could use my dangerous flashlight to a defensive sort. Shine it in their eyes. I think we could win, don't doubt that."

*Shuffling in her seat the warmth still in the stone while snowflakes melt as they hit her skin*
"I think they brought everyone here because they were scared of what we can do. I always keep my guard I never felt safe when I became a human flashlight of sorts.."

*Looking down at her hands as they glow with the warm light, she hides them away with her cardigan sleeves acting if she were cold but Vera just didn't want to look at them.*
Christina
"Certainly." She says. "I just don't think it's that big of a deciding factor, in the end."

"Are *You* Scared of what you can do yourself?" Lynn prods a little bit. "It sounds a little bit like that, I think."
"Even if a human flashlight is hardly sounds like a threat. Personally, the people in my life always sought after my power."

"Do you think you are being rightfully held right in here in a detention center far from home, then?"
Lori
"I'm not scared, I mean in a way I could be scared of them in the future." *Stuttering her wording*
"Don't think people wanted my power, I was gone so quick I didn't know what happened. I don't like it here that's for sure, just want to go home but I'm so new here and they forcefully took me..." *The situation was getting uncomfortable as she removed the heat from the seat and back to her body.*

Lynn taps her chin. "Ah, you have family waiting for you outside then?" She prods. "How were you taken?"
"Me, personally, I have no one else. And I came willingly." She shrugs. 

"To get out... It seems like the only way is 'graduation', from what I hear. It doesn't seem to follow a strict curriculum... It could be early as tomorrow, so long we prove that ourselves having learned enough. Who knows how they might deem that, though?" She shrugs, again.

"Have you ever tasted independence, Vera? Ever spent a night alone at home, or somewhere else? I know some people our age with rather strict parents." She hums. "It seems we're here for the long haul. Better get used to it."
"If you have hopes of getting out from this place?" She hums, posing it as a question.
Lori
"I had no choice, I may of injured someone... My parents wait for me yeah. Not sure if they'll ever let me out" *Looking down as she held her hands together the heat increased there along with light, frustrated by the subject*
"I've been alone yes, my parents are lovely people never strict" *A small chuckle as she thinks about home* "I do wish to get out of here, as quick as possible if I can. My only fear is they'll put me in a dark box and keep me locked up..."
Christina
"Well, Vera." Lynn starts, as she looks around. "I doubt it'd stay dark for long if its you." She cracks a... Joke? Though her neutral expression doesn't convey it well.

"In all seriousness, I don't think they'll do that if we behave ourselves. I've read up on our policies- at worst, its prison. Of course, prison is horrible. But its not a dark box."

A pause, as she eyes her. "I don't think you're quite the troublemaker, so you should be fine." She hums. "Just focus on graduating I suppose, if I had any advice at all to give you."
Lori
"Yeah, I've just always had a fear of these places, the shows about the supernatural locked up... Then it's all a misunderstanding." *The light emits from her fisted hands and grows in light* "I want to focus but I cant get out of my own head staying in a reality that can never be," *The light became too bright from her thoughts and emotion that it burned and made her flick the light out of her hands and hit one of the stones on the side walk and burn the top of it making a black burn spot on the rock, cooling off from the snow the smoke fades* "Ow, oh poor rock..."
Christina
"An overactive imagination, I see."

"Well, speak with people. Your fellows are on the same boat. The staff seem nice enough. On the surface, at least. If I squint hard enough, I might even be able to see how they could be akin to parents to some people."

"We might just get out of this one alive."
