Thread Roulette: Ann, Avery, and Xander

[Xander Green]

"Hmm, an Empath? That doesn't sound too bad. I mean being able to possibly control someone's emotions, that could be cool."

He said laughing a bit. He found his powers interesting and all but felt most people had better abilities. Then again, odds are, most people thought that exact same thing. He smiled when Ann motioned for them to sit down. he sat down on the blanket and was joined by Nate who sat on the edge, still looking as though he were in trouble. But then, as was to be expected, questions began to come up about his powers.

"Nate and I have been friends for years, back when we were like 6 or something. And then he's just followed me around the whole time. Most of the ghosts here don't really follow me around. Well, there's a dog that comes and goes but in general it's just me Nate and Paul. But luckily Paul isn't around here right now."

[Ann Hudgins]

Ann didn't exactly want the conversation the three of them shared to involve a 'my power is worse than your power' but it seemed like it was unavoidable at the moment. She smiled to the both of them (and Nate) and then looked down at her fingers. "Oh, I wouldn't think hail is all that bad, I mean it happens naturally anyway, so what if your power just kinda fluctuates like that? I mean for me, I am always absorbing what everyone is feeling all the time. I mean all the time. It's really hard to just...ignore it all. So uh, really the two of you don't have it bad--and it shouldn't take you years of training to make little improvements either." Ann smiled a little at the both of them and hoped that they would just drop the subject completely.

"I wonder if someone took the fish out of the pond. I'd feel bad for them if no one did. Poor fish." Ann tapped her lip in thought as she looked at the ice over the pond.

[Avery Sainsbury]

Avery smiled. "If you would like maybe I oculd try to make it sunny and melt the ice. I mean I don't want you to be sad. I'm sure they are ok, but if you want to check I can try to make it sunny..."Avery blushed slightly. She wondered if she actually could make it sunny on purpose, or if she could melt the ice at that. Avery looked at Ann then to the pond. She looked to Xander to see what he would say. "Or maybe I could make it thicker so they don't get hurt or die. I don't know alot about fish."

[Xander Green]

He didn't want to be rude but he couldn't help but laugh a bit at Ann's question about the fish and the ice.

"Ann, trust me, I'm from Minnesota. The fish are just fine. I mean if they weren't ice fishing wouldn't happen."

He said with a shrug before looking over at the pond. he smiled a bit when he noticed a very water logged spirit commenting on the fish.

"Ah, here, this'll make you feel better. I have a spirit here...Bart, sorry Bartholemew, who drowned in this pond a long time ago. He spends a good deal of his time under the water and ice. The fish are just fine. Although personally I wouldn't mind it being sunny and warm, if you can. I mean sure I'm always cold but I like the sun."

He said with a smile.

[Ann Hudgins]

"Oh well that's nice of you--but you don't have too worry about it, Avery." Ann was a bit surprised that the girl was willing to do such a thing. At Xander's interjection, she nodded her head a little. "Oh, well that's good then." She liked to think he was correct, but the fish in the pond in front of them wasn't the normal river fish--they were Koi, which made them special, right? Ann wasn't sure so she just nodded her head to what he said.

Then he mentioned a spirit named Bartholomew (which was a very weird name) and she grinned a little. His power was definitely the coolest she had come across, hands down. "Thank you Bartholomew, and Xander." She grinned to both of them and nodded her head. "Some sun wouldn't be a bad thing at all. I think my toes are numb." Converse really weren't winter friendly shoes, but they were the only shoes she hand. She wrapped her fingers around the tips of her shoes and wriggled her toes to feel them.

[Avery Sainsbury]

Avery smiled "Ok..I will try. I'm not that good yet..just a warning" She gave a nervous laugh. She figured if her emotions triggered her ability then all she had to do was think happy thoughts. Avery closed her eyes and thought of her animals. Her dog angel and cat snowball. When she felt warm and fuzzy inside, how the memories made her feel, she thought of it being warmer out. Slowly she opened her eyes. Even though it wasn't immediatly the sun started to shine brighter and it started warming up. Avery laughed and secretly she couldn't believe that she actually got it to work.


Looking at both of them she blushed then smiled. "Is that any better? I guess you could say I kinda turned the furnace up for the world." Avery thought about that and that was kinda what she did. it got cold so she told the sun to come on so it would warm up, just like a heater in a house. Maybe her ability wasn't that bad after all.

[Xander Green]

Xander looked around and smiled before Bartholemew went back to his watery grave so to speak. He could feel it warm slightly and the sun begin to shine brighter. He closed his eyes and sighed a bit.

"Now that's nice."

He said before giving a big yawn. He then looked at the two women and smiled at them. He always seemed to smile, which most found weird. Especially given his ability and the draw back but he didn't care.

"See Avery your power is awesome. You're like Storm from the X-Men."

He said before realizing his geek side had just come out.

"Well there it is. You've found out I'm a geek."

He said laughing. He didn't really care too much if they had issues with it. Sure it was his little secret but it was who he was. He'd been into comic books since he was a kid. Hence why him and Nate still had discussions and sometimes debates, about comics.

[Ann Hudgins]

Ann felt happiness stirring the air around them, and it brought a small smile to her face. Avery looked like she was concentrating, so she figured that's where the happiness was coming from. Ann felt a bit of love towards something(s). The kinda love one reserved for an animal so she figured Avery was thinking about some pets of hers, when the sun started to feel warmer. Ann blinked in surprise. Wow.

"That is so awesome," Ann couldn't help but comment. "Really."

At Xander's comment about Storm, she grinned. "Storm usually used her powers as a defense thing, though, I thought? I haven't much read the comic books, but I did see the movie." Ann grinned towards Xander because he called himself a geek. There really were worse things than being a fan of X-men. "And there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a geek." Ann was a huge fan of the Harry Potter universe. Being a witch would be sooooo much cooler than being meta (especially an empath).

[Avery Sainsbury]

Avery shrugged "I would rather have a different ability. I just think mine is to dangerous to have." Avery was usually a sweet heart. She admitted how she felt in a soft tone that way it didn't seem to be like something would say to start a debate. "I still would like to maybe be invisible or something.." Avery laughed with a slight blush on her cheeks. She relaxed as looked up to the now bright and sunny sky. "I am amazed that I actually got it to work though."

Hearing Xander's comment Avery laughed. "Just because your a fan of x-men doesn't make you a geek. It's like I told my friends in my old school. They loved dungeons and dragons. They convinced me to play one year with them. I was so horrible. Then again I'm not one for labels. The only label I use is on my food." Avery giggled. "Then again there are those popular snooty kids in every school....which I guess that's a label so I use that label too." She gave a nod, mainly to herself in approval to what she said.
