<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/c/c3/A4nLJFspAiEF.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Janie-Lynn Dough (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=200335.msg9981657#msg9981657)<br/><strong>Alias:</strong>Mist<br/><strong>Dorm Assignment:</strong>Third Floor<br/><strong>Location:</strong>The Quad to Dorm Building, Heading to…<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>September 2nd, 20:00<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Professor Charles Xavier, Emily, Douglas, Open<br/><hr/><br/><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">With her nose pressed against the glass, Janie-Lynn was enthralled with life! Oh sure, she would find herself crying herself to sleep for the first little while, having never been away from home in her life! But for now the homesickness was at bay. She was far too excited to have finally arrived after what felt like ages stuck no place special! Her first plane ride had not been the best experience. She had felt sick to her stomach at first as the nervousness mounted. <br/><br/>Ginger Ale had done wonders to calm the queasy feeling, but Janie-Lynn hadn’t been able to eat a single thing out of fear that it would soon be revisited in a manner most unpleasant. But a day without food wasn’t going to harm her any, at least that was what she imagined Nanna saying. After all, Nanna’s idea of a balanced diet was a cookie in both hands, preferably homemade. She didn’t trust the prepackaged stuff with a list of ingredients she couldn’t pronounce that filled the grocery stores. <br/><br/>She had only gone invisible once during the flight, right before the plane went down. Though it had taken longer than normal to recover, she figured that it had a lot to do with her being nervous than out of control of her powers, so she tried not to worry. She still had a lot to learn, but Janie-Lynn had worked hard on  her own to learn how to come back into view whenever she seemed to vanish, but for the clothes on her back.<br/><br/>One good thing had come of the delay. The time spent doing nothing much had given the three students time to get to know one another. Janie-Lynn was normally a very talkative girl, though she was inexperienced in the game of flirting so there was no way she was going to compete with Emily.  Douglas was a sweetheart though, making sure she was okay when she had felt sick and making her laugh when she had gotten scared. All in all they were both great kids that made it a bit easier to pick up roots and be thrown into a school where she knew absolutely no one. <br/><br/>It was very true that the chances were high when it came to the students all pretty much being in the same boat as she. However Janie-Lynn had come for a small farming town named Cottonwood Falls in Kansas, with the population of just over 900 people, give or take a death/birth.  Most people knew each other, families had lived there for generations, her own in fact had gone back so far that the family name appeared in the very first record books, marking them as founders. She was the first Dough to go away to high school, and not surprising, the first to hold special powers. The first would be widely known throughout the small town, the latter a closed tight secret. <br/><br/>Stepping clear from the ramp, Janie-Lynn was all wide eyes, and in awe of everything. Her smile was open and friendly and her blue eyes bright with wonder. As the Professors approached Janie-Lynn couldn’t help but be drawn by the man in the wheelchair introducing himself as one of the Professors. She smiled wider when he shook her hand, introducing herself politely like she had been taught. Janie might be naive in many ways, but one thing she was never, was rude. Janie-Lynn was convinced that if she ever was rude her mother would somehow learn of it in some hidden sixth sense and hunt her down to tan her ass but good. A Dough was never out of line! It just wasn’t done!<br/><br/>Janie-Lynn offered Emily a smile when the news broke of them being in the same dorm floor. She hoped the pretty blonde was feeling better after the flight. She hoped that Emily was looking forward to getting to know Janie-Lynn as much as Janie was looking forward to getting to know Emily. Though the flight had caused its own problems among the group, Janie was hopeful that what embarrassment factor there might be between them would be left behind and soon forgotten. After all, they were there to learn to control their powers, right?  Janie-Lynn suspected the plane ride would not be the only time she would vanish but for the clothes upon her back, or suddenly repel balls that accidently head in her direction. <br/><br/><strong>”It is very nice to meet you sir. Thank you for inviting me to your school, and… well coming to pick me up in that fancy plane of yours. It sure beats bumping my head on the yellow school bus everytime we go over the crook stream bridge. I swear, y’all aint felt nothing quite as hard as the ceiling of that bus.”</strong> feeling the top of  her head with her fingers, Janie-Lynn smiled when she found what she had been looking for. <strong>”I still got a bump from sixth grade. Knocked me clean out, and gave me a concussion.”</strong> She was rambling… Janie-Lynn knew this well enough. She always did so whenever she was scared. Normally if things didn’t settle down she would slowly fade into nothingness until she was able to find a quiet, unoccupied room to recover in. <br/><br/>What she needed was a new plan.  And just like that her tummy growled. Apparently it was done being starved and now wanted food!  Janie-Lynn’s hand moved to cover her tummy and giggled (somewhat nervously) <strong>”I guess I’m a little bit hungry… is there a place I might get some cereal, a muffin or some toast?”</strong> </div>
