Her hydrolizer was the only real comfort Kat had, it drew in moisture from the air, and kept her from drying out. <br/><br/>"Thank you, Ma'am." She stared off into space, flinching at the snap of the collar-like contraption. She placed her hands on the arm rests of her wheelchair, and hefted herself into the seat. Not an easy feat considering her extreme weight. While Katina wasn't overweight, the weight of her limbs, and mantle added up, totaling her weight at around three hundred pounds. She placed a blanket over her lap, her legs writhing beneath it, and wrapped her scarf around her lower face, and draping it over her mantle. Little more than her dull red hands, and silvery blue eyes were left visible. She pressed on the control stick, and the wheelchair hummed softly as it propelled itself forward. <br/><br/>She was going to be late for class, but once every three months, she had to get a new one, as did many aquatic ferals. She considered herself lucky in the aspect that if her hydrolizer crapped out on her, she would be able to survive for a while before drying out and dying, it would just be a pain in the ass. She wheeled through the halls, she had gotten too used to the stares she received. <br/><br/>"Sorry I'm late, Ma'am., I was at the nurse." She looked up at the teacher, her large eyes flitting around the room. A new student? <br/><br/>"Welcome back then, Miss Katina, please, take your seat." She motioned to the terminal that had been altered to dis-include a chair, Kat's wheelchair slipping comfortable behind the terminal. Seated near the back, Katina's eyes stared at the new student, What was he? On the bright side, he may garner more attention than she did, making this year easier for her. She smiled beneath the scarf.</div></blockquote>
