"I. Um." Adrik's face was completely blank. "I mean. If. You. Want to."

With a click of military boots, someone walked into the lobby of the hotel. They had shaggy blonde hair, piercing sky-blue eyes, and a confident smile. Their arms were crossed behind their head as they strode inside. "Hello, everyone!" they called. "Anyone home?"

A confident snort and smile, as they waited.

A girl stepped into the room.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds.

"Hey!" The blonde waved.

The black-haired girl hesitated. Then she gave a tight nod. "Hello."

"Nice to meet you! I'm Siera!" Siera held out their hand for a handshake. The girl moved to complete it. They yanked it back. "Ha! Too slow!" They grinned broadly.

The girl scowled.

And Siera's face went blank.

"Fine then." The girl tried to step past them.

"Not so fast." Siera seized her wrist.

"Hey- give that b-"

They jerked her forward and she stumbled a few steps. "What's wrong with you?" she demanded. Then her eyes widened, as a fist flung for her face. She ducked, and it passed above her head. She tore away. "What-"

"You little rat," Siera snarled. "Try me again, and get back here."

"Don't touch me!" she spat back.

And Isla took a step into the room. She paused. "The He-..." She cut herself off. "What's going on here?"

A head poked through a door. "A fight!" It was Alexander. "Come on in here, and watch!"

Siera whirled around. "Can't fight fair, huh?" Their eyes narrowed to slits. "Coward."

"I'm not on anyone's side," Isla replied instinctively. "And anyway, I don't like either of you. So just get out of my way. I'm looking for someone."

Siera and Priya scowled in unison. Alexander grinned.

"Look, if you want a free-for-all later, I don't care, but right now I'm just tired and want to go eat something before I pass out. Feel free to beat each other up in the meantime."

Isla tried to sidestep Siera, but they seized her by the throat and lifted her up. Her legs dangled off the ground. She stared calmly down at Siera.

Alexander applauded.

...

Wake up. Wake up. You have to get back... get back. Get back to your room.


All of the physical and mental energy she could muster as her eyes cracked open a peek... it all went into it. And then she found herself there, upon her bed, notebook in her bag. She'd just sit, sit for now. It was all she could do. Gisela gasped, struggled for breath. A mirror, mirror. Find a mirror!

So she did. Of course, her hair was - imperfect. That couldn't slide. She took it out of its ponytail, brushed and stroked it gently and carefully to its former state; only thing she really did gently and carefully. She recalled the events of the day...

Of course. That strange girl. She'd done this, right? No. She'd somehow woken and teleported here now.

But Kaden didn't hear him.

He'd covered his face and ran out of the room, embarrassed and scared. He sat down on a chair, hyperventilating.

-------------------------------------

Genya walked around idly, looking for chit-chat. She spotted some other girls, and walked up to them.

"Hello, all of you. Can one of you show me around? I've just arrived here and been greeted by a rude little girl who thinks she's so mean. Honestly, some people have no manners..." She let out a high laugh.

"Kaden-!" Adrik tried to follow him, and tripped over a loose brick. He faceplanted into the ground. He lay, stunned for a few minutes. Blood leaked from his nose, staining the dusty ground. Then he looked up. "K-Kaden-" But he was gone.

---

*From a alcove above Adrik a raven would caw and fly over his hand landing on a figure behind him that was not there a second ago* *The figure would kneel down and put a piece of gauze on his nose*

---

Adrik looked up. Bewilderment was reflected in his gaze- "H-Huh-?" He pushed himself up to a sitting position. "Who are you?"

---

Kaden sat huddled on a chair, shaking.

---------------------------------------

"Um, hello? Earth to everyone here?" Genya frowned.

*The figure would remove its hood to reveal a leather bird mask for its face and short black hair* *the raven would caw again and the figure begin to examine Adrik’s nose*

---

Seara whipped around to glare at Genya. "What do you want?" they demanded.

Isla crossed her arms. "To piss us all off, obviously." She clearly hadn't forgotten their encounter earlier. "Why don't you just crawl back to the hole you came out of?"

---

Adrik stared at the figure. "T-Thanks, but I'm really alright-" he hesitated. "Are you another student?"

---

*the figure would remove its cloak to reveal it as wearing a suit and skirt and would grab its school ID from it’s medical bag* “Dr.Grimm Peckington” the ID would read, in a different font it wild say “Do not worry if sh doesn’t speak, she is mute”. *Th doctoress would hand them her ID.

---

*The doctoress would nod to his question*

---

Adrik took the id. He absentmindedly fingered the edges as he read through it. "Oh. Alright. So you're like, our school nurse?" He handed it back to Dr. Grimm.

---

Genya frowned.

"I need some help. To get around. Please?"

I could...try to read their minds, to know what they are thinking....could I? No...that'd be mean....but....hmmm...

Seara and Isla opened their mouths to answer, undoubtedly in a snarky tone.

But Priya interjected with, "Sure. I can help you. What do you need?"

Seara and Isla both glared at Priya.

---

Genya took a step back.

"No...it's fine, thank you for asking. Your friends obviously don't like me...and I don't want to cause tension in your friendship. Thanks anyway." she said sadly, and hurried off, her eyes glistening with tears.

*The doctor would grab her whiteboard from her bag and would write “I am a student and the nurse”, then she would show it to them*

---

"Good riddance," Isla muttered. But her eyes glittered with some other emotion. She turned to Seara, and uncrossed her arms, instead placing them on her hips. "So. You wanna fight or what?"

Seara scoffed. "Fight? I'd massacre you, little girl, and you know it."

Isla's eyes glinted with malice. "Oh? Is that a threat?"

Priya, done with these lunatics, hurried after Genya. "Wait!"

---

"Oh-" Adrik's eyes widened. Then he nodded. "I see. So, you're one of my classmates? What's your power?"

---

*Grimm would put a hand on Adrik’s nose and it would heal instantly*

---

Adrik gave a yelp and scrambled back a few paces. His hands flew to his nose. His eyes widened. "You... healed me?" He felt it. It was totally straight. No pain. Only the blood remained. "That's..."

---

"What? Don't your friends need you?" Asked Genya, with more malice than intended.

She hesitated.

"S-sorry, I didn't mean to be rude..."
------------------------

Kaden watched Grimm and Adrik quietly, huddled in his chair. The embarrassment from earlier was fading, and he now felt stupid for running away.
