Used to be that something like this wouldn't have had Alex seen or noticed, or at least not fondly. If he'd bothered to show, he would probably have been too early, or almost late, and then sat shyly in the back, probably with his face buried in a comic book or something. Not anymore. Something about the change made him come out of his shell. Maybe it was hearing the actual surface thoughts of those around him, and realizing just how nervous, neurotic, and scatterbrained everyone else was too. Maybe it was the swing in his hormone levels, with the testosterone surging through him and making him feel like the king of the world most of the time. Really, it just didn't matter too much to him. Back then he was just a wallflower geek that couldn't talk to girls. Now he was the guy that could get any girl to do anything, anytime if he really wanted, and even without his powers, he still had pretty decent luck with them. He'd even had some luck with the boys, and he somehow didn't mind that, even though at one time the very thought would have just grossed him out. He still prefered the girls of course, they were prettier, and softer, and...<br/><br/>"HEY!" she yelped, and smacked a tentacle away.<br/><br/>"Oops, sorry!" Alex called back blushing and smiling, as he pulled the tentacle reluctantly away from fondling the woman's ass. At first, indignant anger surged through her, but then seeing Alex,<em>Mind Melter</em>to her mind, the thought ran through the thirty-something woman's mind that she still had "it" if his tentacles were seeking out her shapely ass. She was right, and she was shapely, dispite the coat of fine cat-like fur that covered her. Her next thoughts were just a little randy and racey, thinking about all those tentacles, and a brief electrical look passed between the two of them before she remembered that he could read all the naughty thoughts on the surface of her mind. She was instantly horrified and embarressed, and then the only thing Mind Melter could read was the alphabet song running through her mind as she quickly turned away. He watched her perfect ass for a moment, before returning to work setting up chairs.<br/><br/>Mind Melter, or M & M as he called himself sometimes, liked being around people now, getting out and rubbing shoulders so to speak. Sometimes having the tentacles got him in trouble, but they always made things interesting. He just hopped that he didn't unconsciously fondle any of the leaders again today. As always, he intended to sit right in the middle of the crowd, just to see who was brave enough to sit near his appendages. They were mostly harmless, and just wrapped around people or rubbed up on them. It wasn't like they worked their way into people's clothes. Well, not often anyway. And all it took was a little slap to get the sensative, probing things to retreat.<br/><br/>Of course Mol wanted him here today, but he wouldn't have missed this anyhow. He<em>loved</em>the crowds.
