<div class="floatleft">(http://www.girlswithmuscle.com/images/full/746549258.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Brandt<br/><strong>Alias:</strong>Mantis<br/><strong>Dorm Assignment:</strong>2nd Floor, Room Three<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Auditorium<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>September 2nd, Early evening<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>Olive Drab Sweater, Light Gray Sweatpants<br/><strong>Tagging: </strong>Stephen, Arthur, Jean, Open<br/><hr/><br/>"Mantis," she stated as Stephen apparently sat down beside her. She could sense the unease he had and immediately decided she had clearly misread his approach towards her as she realized inexplicably the impetus for the conversation was suddenly on her all of a sudden. Mantis smiled a Jean, who unlike many of the people here, seemed rather genuinely friendly. In fact as her eyes darted around the auditorium, she was surprised that so many people weren't sitting at the table, even after Arthur's entreaties which struck her as odd considering they all came from generally the same cultural and social and political landscape and furthermore shared in common some manner of superhuman ability which should've made them even feel more close due to the shared experiences. But it wasn't having that effect, at least yet and she idly wondered if it was due to the individualistic mindset common among these cultural types.<br/><br/>Soon though, she dismissed such thoughts out of mind and turned back to Stephen, who was still rather quiet to a point. Mantis started to speak, when thankfully Arthur spoke up himself and saved her from having to address him or anyone. "I don't have any powers I think," Mantis then stated honestly. "From what I'm told, I displayed 'anomalous properties' when i was found, but everything I know can be learned by those with an open mind and the ability to follow the martial way., but I don't think there is anything truly strange or different about me physically. At least not in comparison with these 'heroes' that seem to keep popping up here in America every few weeks," she admitted with a shrug before turning to Stephen. "What are your powers?" she asked rather straightforwardly.
