A Mind-Reader's Guide To Socialization

[Kale Allerion]

Miki shrugged, hands in pockets. "Yeah," she said. "Guess so." A short, awkward pause. "What's up with you?" she continued.

[Black Wings]

Dawn dwelled on this question. "What's up with me? Uh... Nothing... I think?" Dawn looked behind Miki, saw the halls mostly blank except for Caleb leaning against the wall, starring right back at her. She looked back at Miki. "Uh, do you know him," Dawn pointed at Caleb.

[Kale Allerion]

Miki wrinkled her nose in disgust. "Kind of," she said. "He's in my art class. Ugh, he's such a creeper!"

[Black Wings]

"Yeah," Dawn nodded. "He really is... And he's creeping me out... A lot..." Dawn bit her lip and felt a shiver run through her veins.

[Kale Allerion]

"Me too..." Miki said, feeling an odd sort of chill remembering their encounters. She sensed such a strange power about him, although she barely knew him, and at the same time a burning desire to know if he was like her - if he really did posses supernatural abilities, were they somehow similar to hers?

Did Caleb, unlike Miki, know how to control his powers?

"So...." Miki began again, trying not to sound overly interested. "Yeah...is it just me, or does he have this creepy way of, er...influencing people. Like, when he lies or whatever. People just go for whatever he says, right?"

[Black Wings]

"Uh, To some people maybe. I just stray away from him. I know he lies and I don't believe what he says most of the time anyways. He does have an odd feeling to people I think, and it's kind of bugging me, and seems to be bugging you as well, huh?"
