Lets start something - open

[Luke Pyrrhos]

Crunch, crunch, crunch. The snow was nearly ice underneath Luke's feet as he paced on towards the Training Field outside of Hammel. For what he wanted to do today, it probably would be safest if he did it in a wet environment, far away from fire alarms. And out here, not only would he be able to be free of those, he'd also be able to breathe; not many people were around and he could whatever he pleased, but knew that even if his intention got out of hand, at least no one would get hurt, or at least that was his main aim.

Two more paces and he was onto the dry field, his shoes melting the snow that had stuck to them from the journey there. But no worries about that, that wasn't where Luke's concentration was. He pulled the bag off of his back, grabbed a piece of paper, and continued to fold it into a paper airplane. Trivial, it seemed, but there was a purpose to it, and it wasn't to throw at some nerd's head. Instead, he took it, inspected the final product, and after deeming it acceptable, he tossed it high in the air, sending it sailing for feet and feet, until it started gliding down and across the field. Now was the time. He took his arm out in front of him, calculated the angle mentally, and shot at it. From his palms came fire, like a torpedo through the air, heading straight for the plane.

Bingo! He had calculated right, and within a matter of seconds, the plane was incinerated into smoke and tiny ashes, floating down towards the field's surface. Now that he'd accomplished this, what would he shoot down next? And how could he use this skill to work with others? Luke walked around in search of something, or someone to help him work with his newfound ability.

[Tamar Harris]

Tamar kicked the snow with her boots as she walked, her hands jammed in her pockets. Being from Oregon, around Portland, she wasn't used to this kind of weather. Before she'd left for Hammel they'd had to buy her new, warmer clothes. That had been pretty cool, actually getting to go buy new clothes for herself. However, she wasn't very excited about the snow. She'd always thought that snow was always great for making snowmen and snow forts, they were always doing that on TV, but now that she was here she discovered that there were different kinds of snow. Today the snow was all icy and not good for anything, which was quite the disappointment.

Tamar didn't really have anything to do, hence why she was wandering around the grounds. Well, she could be doing homework she supposed, but she didn't really feel like it. Tamar definitely wasn't the hardest working student, though she was looking forward to the power classes. Perhaps it was this thought that carried her to the training fields.

Tamar didn't notice the boy until she got onto the fields. She stopped at the edge to watch what he was doing, curious. Before her eyes he incinerated a paper airplane. "Wow." She muttered, impressed. When she'd first come to Hammel she'd expected to see this sort of thing every three minutes, but as it turned out the students here were like most of the students in the rest of the country, which was underwhelming.

As the boy walked in her direction Tamar called out "Nice trick." She tried to hide that she was impressed by his ability, she didn't want him to think she was an awed little kid.

[Luke Pyrrhos]

Ah, just when he needed it, there she was. No, this wasn't going to be one of his stories that he tells all of his mates about about after he meets the cutest girl (of the moment) and how they kick it off after their brief acquaintance. Instead, this girl was indeed quite young, and looked like she could be a preteen, but considering that she's at Hammel, he figured that she'd just come on to the meta-boat. Maybe that explained why she looked so awed for one moment, and then tried to conceal her amazement with his 'little trick'. It was cute that she'd take notice, but then again, he probably looked like a magician to her. Still, what had she done to him to have her tease her for her reaction. Maybe just today he'd be nice and kind and sociable to the wee ones on campus.

Luke turned to look at her, and nodded with affirmation of both her comment and her expression, "Thanks." He stopped looking for something to set afire, and went back to the starting spot where he initially came. This was an awkward part for him. What should he say to a youngin' like that? Well, he could start off with, "I'm guessing you're pretty new to Hammel. What brings you here?" Maybe she had a bit of a show to show off herself. Hopefully she knew well enough how to control it if she did decide to use, so that he wasn't either frayed and laying on the ground, or forced to use some form of self defense to block whatever she might accidentally send his way. But he didn't want to hurt her... Oh goodness. Hopefully she'd tell and not show.

[Tamar Harris]

Tamar nodded at his question. Yes, she was definitely new to the school as well as her powers. She wondered how long he'd been at Hammel, from what she'd figured out she had developed her powers at the normal age, so she supposed he had most likely been here for a few years. He seemed to have a good hold on his powers, too, from what Tamar had just seen. This was reassuring, she didn't want to have to spend years and years developing her powers before she was able to do anything interesting. Hopefully he wasn't some sort of prodigy.

"The same reason as everyone else, I guess." She wasn't trying to be sarcastic, she just tended to say what she thought. "My power" it still felt a little weird to call it that "is teleportation. I'm not very good at it yet." She explained. The first time had been an accident of course and after that Tamar had only experimented a few times. She was smart enough to realize that this sort of thing was dangerous. She had managed to teleport across the room, but that was as much as she'd tried and it had still taken her several tries to figure out how to "activate" it, so to speak.

"How long have you been at Hammel?" She asked, walking over to where he was and looked over at the ashes which had previously been a paper airplane. Though she thought her power was pretty cool, making fire balls was definitely more bad ass than teleporting, in Tamar's opinion anyway.

"Oh, I'm Tamar." She added, realizing that she hadn't introduced herself yet. Maybe this boy could tell her a bit about the school that the teachers and officials wouldn't. Every time Tamar changed schools she had to listen to an identical description from some adult, it was the students who could give an accurate account of what the school was really like.
