Fallen (fallencatalyst) Alright, so how detailed should the characters be?


message 4: by [deleted user] (new)

I prefer just going basic for characters but I can go more detailed if you want.


message 5: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Okay. I hope you don't mind, I went ahead and made my characters. Yours don't have to be as detailed as mine. Mine are only that detailed because I was bored.

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Idea 3:

Name: Phoenix (Nix) Cedric Marshall

Age: 17 1/2

Gender: Male

Appearance Pic: description
(view spoiler)

Appearance Description: 5’ 9”, Skinny with some muscle, blue eyes, black hair with portion dyed red

Scars: Due to Past, Nix has a large amount of scars across his back, like whip marks. Some of them curl over his shoulders and around his sides.

Tattoos: Collarbone/Across Chest: Quote saying ‘The Only Truth is Music’ (Font Like This: http://line25.com/wp-content/uploads/... )

Personality Traits:
• Quiet
• Shy
• Loner
• Caring

Powers/Abilities: Pyrokinesis- Ability to summon/control fire

History:

Early Life: Nix grew up with one older sibling, a sister who was normal named Jemma. Life was pretty normal except for his father who was an extreme alcoholic. When he was really drunk, he would get violent, throwing bottles or anything he could get his hands on. His mother was too scared of him to try and leave so she and Nix’s older sister did the best that they could to protect him. But that changed when Nix turned about 12. His sister was four years older than him and she had gone out to some party or something. The roads were icy and while she was driving home, her car was hit and she was killed in the accident. Life changed then. Nix’s mother became more closed off and didn’t seem to care as much. And well, his father blamed Nix and went after him more and more, using his belt as a whip sometimes on Nix. That is how Nix’s back had gotten scarred so badly, not that anyone would know because you never see him without a shirt. Nix’s powers appeared suddenly when he was 14. His father had gone after him again. Nix wasn’t exactly sure what happened. He remembered running up to his room out of fear and anger, then the next thing he recalls is a firefighter carrying him out of his burning home. He had somehow lit the house on fire. He wasn’t taken to the hospital, not having any serious injuries, well no physical ones that the paramedics noticed at least. He spent a few weeks in a mental hospital because he became a high risk to himself and others after his parents died. Then He was then put into a group home/adoption center for boys. He spent a year there before he was technically adopted by a counselor at the school after the counselor had thought that he might be gifted. He was brought to the school and has been there since.

School: Nix was immediately put with a roommate when he got to the school, mainly because they thought he would be a risk if left alone. Luckily, his roommate, Jasper had the same ability as him and was a few years older. Jasper had taught Nix how to use and control his abilities. The two of them became really close. Jasper got him more into music and books and just became like an older brother. Jasper ran a YouTube channel that was somewhat popular and started to get Nix into it as well, him making his own channel and gaining a pretty good amount of subscribers. Then a few months ago, Jasper just disappeared. Nix searched and searched, doing anything he could to try and find him but it was like he had been erased. After a while, Nix just told himself that Jasper was dead and everyone was just lying to him about what had happened. Now he’s in the same dorm room that he and Jasper once shared but now there’s going to be someone new there with him.

Other: His eye color shifts some with his emotions, the happier he is, the lighter his eyes are. If he’s more upset, they get darker.







Idea 19 (Tech Geek):

Name: Dylan James Stewart

Age: 22

Gender: Male

message 7: by [deleted user] (new)

Name: Bianca Anastasia Dibra

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Appearance:

http://24.media.tumblr.com/da4377b632...

Description: Bianca is around 5'7 " and quite thin. She has honey brown hair, pale grey eyes and tan skin.

Personality Traits:
⇾ Bubbly
⇾ Outgoing
⇾ Thrill seeker
⇾ Really open but doesn't usually get attached

Powers: Super healing (think Wolverine, Deadpool and Clare from Heroes)

History: Bianca discovered her powers when she was six and fell out of a tree, successfully snapping her leg. By the time her parents reached her, her leg was completely healed. They rushed her to the hospital where her leg had to be broken again so it be set properly. That was the start of her terrible habit of getting into trouble.

It was a short while after that when Bianca began testing herself, curious to see how far she could push herself before she wouldn't heal. She couldn't help but love the thrill of falling, jumping, of pain. She knew it was strange but it was exhilarating knowing that she couldn't get hurt. Over the years, her stunts got increasingly dangerous, mostly with her doing stupid dares and taking her health for granted.

About the time that she really started perfecting her pain tolerance, her parents decided that it was enough and shipped her off to the school, hoping that they could do something to teach her how to be more responsible or at least get her to stop being so reckless when it came to using her powers.

Other: She has a terrible habit of cutting her hand, not even realising that she's doing it most times because it just heals itself almost instantly.

message 8: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh yeah, they're perfect :)


message 9: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Yours look awesome too! :)

How do you want to start these off?


message 10: by [deleted user] (new)

Well I was thinking just when Bianca's moving in for the first one and then I wasn't really sure about the second. Any ideas?


message 11: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Okay. That works for the first one.
For the second one, maybe your character comes and talks to mine at his work?


message 12: by [deleted user] (new)

Alright, sounds good ^.^


message 13: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Could you start then?


message 14: by [deleted user] (new)

Of course :)

Where does Dylan work?


message 15: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Thanks.

I was thinking just at some computer/ gaming company where he is one of the head programmers... I didn't have a specific place in mind.


message 16: by [deleted user] (new)

Okay cool, just making sure I was getting a place right.


message 17: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Okay. :)


message 18: by [deleted user] (new)

Bianca ran her finger nails over her hand as she walked up the stairs, her eyes scanning the numbers on the door as she looked for the one she'd been given. There wasn't much that Bianca got nervous, she'd gotten over those types of feelings a long time ago. But as she walked down the hall with the key burning a hole in the pocket of her shorts, she felt that annoying jumpy sensation in her stomach. Stopping outside the door, she bit her lip and knocked on the door. She knew that she could use the key but she'd also been told that she had a roommate, an idea she was actually pretty excited about. Crossing her legs at her ankles, she waited awkwardly for someone to answer, if they were even there.

Scarlett knew she wasn't supposed to be there, she knew that it could come off as sketchy if anyone questioned her about it. But despite all that, she walked into the building like she owned the place. After a lot of chatting with people that weren't on the right side of the law, Scarlett had come to the conclusion that the best way to get the information she needed was to get this guy, Dylan, to help. After quickly charming the receptionist, she made her way up to an office and knocked on the door, closing her eyes and putting on her best smile before the door opened.

((Is that alright?))


message 19: by Fallen (last edited Dec 19, 2015 10:06AM) (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Nix sighed when he heard someone knock on the door. He had been told he was getting a roommate and wasn't very happy about it. He muttered something under his breath, walking over and pulling the door open. He didn't say anything to the person at the door, just glanced over her. There had been a tiny bit of him hoping that it was Jasper and this was just some prank Jasper had played on him. But this girl wasn't Jasper. He bit his lip and stepped back from the door, letting her in. He had been cleaning up the room, moving all of his stuff and what was left of Jasper's stuff back onto one side of the room. He and Jasper used to have all their stuff mixed together, because they were so close and they didn't really care about having just a side of the room. Nix sighed and shook his head, not allowing himself to think about Jasper as he walked over to his bed, grabbing his laptop.

----

Music could be heard playing through the office door. When Scarlett knocked, he turned the music down. "Come in." Dylan called out. He stopped typing with what he was working on and looked up at the door. He wasn't sure if it was his boss or someone else. Typically his boss wouldn't come talk to him unless it was about a new project or something that needed to be changed.

((Yeah. That's perfect. I'll try and match my post length to yours. If they get too short, let me know and I'll fix them.))


message 20: by [deleted user] (new)

Bianca smiled at the guy who'd opened the door, waiting for him to say something as he looked her over. When he said nothing and just let her in, she furrowed her eyebrows and walked inside, looking around the room, feeling more than awkward. Turning back to face him, she smiled brightly at him and held out her hand. "Hi," she introduced, noting the disappointment in his eyes. "I'm Bianca. Bianca Dibra. I'm your new roommate," she added, not noticing the cut she'd managed to give herself as it quickly sowed itself back up.

~

Scarlett opened the door when she heard him call out, hoping that she could manage to pull this off. Her case was coming to a close and she needed this information in order for them to win. "Hi," she said as she stepped inside, closing the door behind her and leaning against it. "Dylan right? I'm Scarlett," she continued, smiling at him as she pushed herself away from the door and walked over to him. "I heard that you can help me. You see, I need some information and you're the person who can get it for me," she expanded, her voice taking on a slightly flirtatious tone as she spoke.


message 21: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Nix sat down on his bed, his laptop on his lap. He looked over at her. His eyes seemed to be an unnaturally bright blue. That was because of the colored contacts he wore mainly so people wouldn't notice how his eyes shifted color. "I'm Nix." He introduced, his voice flat. He was doing his best to hide his emotions from her. His side of the room was painted a light grey but there were scorch marks on the walls too from when he had accidentally burned it. Nix noticed the cut on her hand and how it seemed to heal itself and figured out what her powers were.

--

Dylan nodded. "Yeah. That's me.." He seemed a little confused on why she would need his help. After all, she seemed like she was police or someone involved with that kind of stuff. He knew he could hack almost anything but that was illegal and not exactly something you would just tell people. "I'm just a programmer. I don't know what I could do to help you." He said with a light smile. Dylan almost rolled his eyes at her flirtatious tone but kept himself from doing it.


message 22: by [deleted user] (new)

Bianca tried to hide her frown as best she could as she walked over to her side of the room. She got the feeling that it wasn't her side of the room though, that it still belonged to the person who'd stayed there before her. She knew that Nix had a roommate before her but she hadn't heard anything about who it was. Eyes scanning over the room, she noticed the scorch marks on the wall and raised her eyebrows. "Do you have like fire powers? Because that's pretty awesome," she asked, trying to get him to open up at least a bit. She still had that overwhelming feeling of awkwardness and she wanted to get rid of that as soon as possible because she really couldn't live with that.

~

Scarlett raised an eyebrow at him, a small smirk on her lips as she leaned against his desk. "Oh I really think that you do. I'm not with the police before you ask. And I definitely don't wouldn't tell anyone because that would get me into some serious trouble. But I am desperate for you help so could you please do this for me?" she asked, taking on a slightly innocent role as she asked, making sure to get the desperation into her voice as seamlessly as she could. She knew that her lying was a problem but it just came naturally to her.


message 23: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Nix shrugged, silently biting his lip. He held his hand out and after a moment there was a nice ball of fire in it. He almost launched it toward her, wanting to see how she would react but didn't want to get in trouble for trying to kill or harm his new roommate. He sighed and the fire went out. Nix glanced down at his laptop before just closing it and setting it beside him. He wasn't going to open up to her. Or become her friend. She'd leave, just like Jasper did. Besides, he didn't want a new roommate. He wanted his friend back.

--

Dylan sighed, leaning back in his chair and watching her. "I'm just a programmer. I can't get information for you. He lied convincingly. Nobody really knew that he was a hacker. He made sure that it seemed like nobody had broken into any of the systems that he hacked, making it like he was never there. Dylan clicked something on the computer screen in front of him, making it go dark. If she knew what he did, then that meant she could turn him in to the police which would be extremely bad.


message 24: by [deleted user] (new)

Bianca looked on in amazement as the ball of fire ignited in his hand, finding it absolutely fascinating that he could do that. Sure it was pretty cool that she could heal but she'd always wanted a power that she could do something with. With healing, all she could do was worry her parents with all of her accidents. Sitting down on her bed, forcing herself to be comfortable with it even though she knew that there was something off about it. Crossing her legs, she unknowingly ran her jagged fingernail over her skin again. "Okay. That's absolutely awesome. When did you find out you could do that?" she asked, voicing her intrigue.

~

Scarlett would have believed him if she hadn't heard from a very trusted source of hers that he really could hack for her and get her the information that she needed. Fixing her hair so it was all brushed over one shoulder, she leaned over the desk, ready to do anything she could in order to get what she needed. She'd been tasked with getting it and she'd be damned if they lost the case over her inability to do something as small as that. "I think we both know that you're than just a programmer Dylan," she replied, a soft smile on her lips. "All I need is this one little favor and I'll do anything in return. I'll owe you. You can cash in a favor for whatever you want."


message 25: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Nix brought the fireball back, moving it between his two hands. It was something to do to keep his mind focused. He bit his lip nervously when she asked when his powers appeared. "When I was fourteen." He shrugged. "What about you? When did your healing abilities appear?" He asked in a low voice, figuring the best way to get this girl to eventually leave him alone was to learn a little bit about her. He continued to mess with the fireball, wishing for the hollow feeling in his chest to go away. He glanced over at her, still biting his lower lip.

--

Dylan sighed, somewhat annoyed. This girl seemed like she wouldn't give up. He grabbed a notebook from the backpack by his desk and flipped to a blank page. "First, how'd you find out about me?" He asked, needing that information before he'd be even willing to think about doing anything for her. Dylan ran a hand through his hair, watching her. He knew that he could always agree and then give her false information if he didn't trust her. She could try and accuse him of it afterwards but then she would be admitting to using a hacker to get the info to begin with.


message 26: by [deleted user] (new)

Bianca stared at the ball of fire that he was moving between him hands, completely and utterly mesmerized. She wanted to touch it but that was weird and she didn't think that freaking out her new roommate was a good ideas, especially since it didn't seem like he wanted her to be there in the first place. "Oh I was six. I fell out of a tree and my leg snapped but it healed before I could get to the hospital. Then I had to get it broken again because it healed completely wrong," she answered, her hands moving around as she spoke like they usually did. She felt a bit of hope in her chest because he'd asked her a question. Maybe there was a chance that it wasn't going to be so bad.

~

Scarlett forced herself not to let out a sigh of relief when it seemed like he was going to help her out. "Frank told me not to tell you that he told me," she answered with a shrug. "It was Frank. I don't actually know his last name, I just know him as Frank. Tall, black hair, beard. He told me that you could help me out," she added, giving him as much information as he would need. She did actually know Frank but it was better for the three of them if she said she didn't. It felt less incriminating that way. Biting her bottom lip, she prayed that he would agree and it could all go smoothly from there. It was the only nervous tick that she allowed herself to have because it could easily be taken as flirting rather than nerves.


message 27: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Nix nodded, listening to her say how her abilities showed up. He considered her lucky. Her abilities were normal and appeared just like that. Her abilities didn't kill two people when they appeared like his did. He didn't say anything, looking back down at the flames in his hand. He continued to move it around, taking a deep breath. His mind was trying to go back to what happened and he was trying not to let it. The flame gave off more light and turned a deep red. Nix quickly made it disappear again, biting his lip. His hands shook so he stuck them in the pocket of the black hoodie he was wearing.

--

Dylan swore under his breath, knowing exactly who she was talking about. He sighed, mumbling something that sounded like a threat to Frank. "Alright, what info do you need?" He asked, giving in. He still didn't trust her but at least wanted to know what he was going to look for. "And why do you need it?" He grabbed a pen from his desk and scribbled on the top of the page to make sure it worked. He looked over at her again, waiting for her explanation of why she needed the information


message 28: by [deleted user] (new)

Bianca frowned again when he didn't say anything else. The awkwardness so was thick you could cut it with a knife and she hated it. She knew that he didn't want her here, that much was obvious. He probably wanted his old roommate back or the room to himself. She had been so excited about having a roommate after being an only child her entire life but the last few minutes had made her rethink her decision. "So other than playing with fire, what do you like to do? Is there much to do around here?" she asked him, tilting her head to the side as she did. She was hoping that an innocent question like that could get him to open up. She would have asked him about his powers but she imagined that not much good could come from uncontrollable fire.

~

"I need any and all dirty laundry you can find for Kenneth Wren. Specifically police records and anything around the seventh of November," she answered, quickly thinking about the best routes to search in order to get the incriminating evidence that she needed. "And why? I'm working on the defense for Catherine McEvoy. Our last chance to win this is in just over a day so I really need anything that you can get," she replied, knowing that she'd just given away any chance of anonymity that she'd had because the case was pretty big and so was her boss. All it would take was a quick Google search to find out exactly who she was.


message 29: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Nix bit his lip. "Reading, listening to music, making YouTube videos." He shrugged. "There's a lot to do around here. Didn't they show you around?" Nix asked. He watched her carefully, still unsure how he felt about her. The school had a ton of stuff to do because they had students of all ages and abilities. There were the regular classrooms, along with gyms, dance studios, pools. Basically if a student had a certain power, there was a room designed to help them learn and control their abilities. "If they haven't, I guess I can show you around." He offered.

---

Dylan took notes as she spoke, writing down who he was supposed to search for and what specifically. Including the date she mentioned. He bit his lip lightly. He also wrote down why and how much time he had to get the information for her. Dylan smirked when she mentioned the person she was defending. Now that he knew about the case, he could figure out who she was as well. "Alright, how do you want the information to get to you?" He asked, looking up at her from the page he had been writing on. This seemed like it would be easy for him, taking him maybe a few hours to get all the info.


message 30: by [deleted user] (new)

"You make YouTube videos?" Bianca asked, delighted that she'd managed to engage him a bit. She just hoped that he'd remain as open as he was then. He'd even offered to show her around and because of that, she was over the moon. "And no, they didn't show me around. I got here, they talked to me for a couple minutes, handed me a key and sent me on my way with the promise of sending my things up as soon as they could. I don't know. Is that usually what happens around here? And if you'd do that, it would be absolutely amazing," she replied with a friendly grin.

~

Scarlett barely stopped the frown from forming on her lips at his smirk. She knew she'd given him too much information but she had to or he wouldn't have gotten her what she needed and it was desperately needed. "I'll come back tomorrow. You're good enough to have it by tomorrow right?" she asked, tilting her head to the side slightly and raising her eyebrows at him. It was a weight off her shoulders having him agree to this. She could deal with pressure, that was no problem. It was still a relief to hear him asking the questions and knowing that he'd get it done for her.


message 31: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) "Yeah." Nix nodded, smiling faintly. His smile faded quickly though. He shrugged. "I'm not sure if that's what normally happens or not.. I came here under special circumstances.." He stood up, hoping she wouldn't ask about the circumstances. He grabbed his keys from his desk and putting them in his hoodie pocket. Nix adjusted the hood of his hoodie to hide the back of his neck where the edges of a few scars were visible. "Come on, let's go and I'll show you around." He told her, walking over to the door. He didn't have an issue with showing her around because that way she would at least know where to go.

--

Dylan sighed and dropped the pen on his desk. He flipped the notebook closed, setting it on his desk as well. "No, you are not coming back here to get the intel.. The last thing I need is to get fired from my job." He told her. "I'll have it done by late tonight so we can either meet up somewhere tonight or early tomorrow morning.. Do you want the intel in a flash drive or in a file and printed out?" Dylan asked, running a hand through his hair.


message 32: by [deleted user] (new)

Bianca hopped up from the bed, tossing her hair out of her face with a casual flick. She walked over to the door after him, hoping that they could continue talking. He seemed like the kind of person who would just clam up and not talk anymore if she said the wrong thing so she made sure that she was as careful as she could be. "So what kind of videos do you make?" Bianca asked, figuring that it was a pretty safe topic to start with. Her nail dug deep cuts into her hand but she was completely oblivious to it as she followed Nix out of their room. She was more than excited to see the place, she hadn't heard anything about it. Her parents had literally just told her that she was leaving and the next morning, she was gone.

~

Scarlette scoffed at his question, shaking her head at him. "I thought you were supposed to be smart," she said jokingly, watching as he ran a hand through his hair. "I can't have physical evidence. If someone found out I obtained this illegally then the whole case would be scrapped. It has to be all hearsay that can be mentioned in a line of questioning and easily be retracted," she replied, biting her lip as she thought about their options. "If you can let me see if on your computer I'll have it memorised in minutes and we won't need any solid copies that could leave evidence," she suggested, tapping her fingers against her thigh in impatience. It was taking a lot longer that she thought it would have.


message 33: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Nix pulled open the door and let her walk out first. He stepped out of the room and Locked the door before walking down the hall with her. "Some covers of songs and then just random videos about whatever." He said with a shrug, biting his lower lip. The school was made up with 3 main buildings. The dorms, the academic area for normal classes then a giant building for all the special rooms such as gyms, fireproof areas, areas tall enough for people to fly. He began to explain the buildings to her and what basically was in each one.

---

Dylan rolled his eyes. "I typically avoid doing work for law cases." He said, clearly annoyed with her. He sighed, "Fine. I'll get the info and let you see it on a computer or tablet or something." Dylan muttered. "One more time, do you want it tonight or tomorrow morning?" He asked since she hadn't given him an answer before. Dylan wasn't sure that he even would get her the info she wanted. It didn't seem worth it to be used by this woman just for some information she could probably find herself. It was a waste of time to him. Dylan noticed her tap impatiently.


message 34: by [deleted user] (new)

"You sing?" Bianca asked, smiling brightly at him as she walked down the hall with him. It seemed to be going well between them so far and for that she was glad. It had seemed like it would continue to be so awkward when she first met him but she felt like they were getting over that. There was nothing that Bianca hated more than that awkward tension that some people seemed to emanate. It wasn't their fault or anything, she just did whatever she could to get rid of it, something that hadn't turned out so well in the past but she didn't dwell on that. She listened intently as he explained everything, looking around in fascination at the place.

~

Scarlett grinned at him, straightening up from where she was leaning against his desk. "Perfect. That's absolutely perfect. We can meet up at the cafe on sixth, a couple of blocks from here later tonight. Here's my number. Text me when you're ready," she replied, picking up a pen and scribbling down her number on a piece of paper. Walking around the desk, she kissed his cheek quickly. "You're a life saver. Thank you," she said, looking over her shoulder as she walked back out of the office, not waiting to see his reaction to anything.


message 35: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Nix shrugged. "Yeah. Probably not music you'd like though." He commented when she was talking about him singing. Nix walked down the stairs and let her out of the dorm building. "Want to go to the actual school building where normal classes are or the specialized classes first?" He asked her, looking around. He bit his lip lightly. Luckily, there weren't many people around outside so it was easy to see how big the campus was and the different buildings. Nix sighed softly.

--

"Okay." Dylan nodded. He watched as she scribbled her number down on a piece of paper. He muttered something under his breath. He turned his computer back on. Dylan rolled his eyes when she kissed his cheek. Flirting with him wasn't going to help her get the info she needed. I haven't done anything yet that is worth thanking me for." He said as she walked away. Dylan turned the music in his office back up as he went back to work. He'd do her research tonight when he got home.

((Skip..?))


message 36: by [deleted user] (new)

Bianca shrugged, agreeing with him completely as she walked with him. "I'm not actually really into music. Is that weird? I mean I'll listen to it if it's on but I'd never go out and look it up myself. I've just never really been bothered with it," she replied, glancing at him from where she was looking around at everything they were walking past. The whole place was amazing, so much better than what she'd expected it to be like. "Oooh. Definitely the specialised classes. Normal classes are terribly boring," she answered with a grin, sliding her hands into her front pockets.

~

((We'll just skip to the night right?))


message 37: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Nix shrugged. He didn't think that it was weird for her to not like music. Everyone was different. He sighed and nodded. "Alright." Nix led her out of the dorm building and to the largest building which was where the specialized classes were. Nix took his wallet from his pocket and grabbed his ID. Each ID was a specific color based on abilities. It made it easier for kids to be organized if needed. The ID looked like a mix between a regular school ID and a driver's license.

-

(Yeah. Could you start?))

Bianca couldn't stop the small frown that tilted her lips when he just said one word to her. She knew that he obviously had his own past and his own things going on and she really didn't know what happened to his roommate but she had still thought that they were getting somewhere and then it all broke. "Oh right, the ID," she remembered, patting her pockets and sighing in relief when she found it. "I nearly left that in ou-the room," she laughed, correcting herself just in case he didn't want to call it their room just yet.

Scarlett was sitting down at one of the table in the cafe, a cup of coffee cooling in front of her and a frown leaving a small crease in between her eyebrows as she typed quickly on her phone, switching between conversations as she tried to sort yet another problem out. She didn't mind being a bit of a fixer, in fact she quite enjoyed it. The only thing was that she was only doing it to impress her professor so she could get paid, she didn't really care how these things worked out. Her wild curls were brushed over one shoulder and she didn't look up as the bell chimed every now and again as people came in and out of the cafe. If he was coming then he could find her. If not then she was really screwed.

((Sorry this took so long! =/ ))

Fallen (fallencatalyst) ((It's alright.. :) ))

Nix typically didn't say anything unless it was important or it needed to be said. He glanced over at her. "What color? The back of it, what color is it?" He asked, flipping his ID over and showing her the back which was red with a thick black stripe down the middle. The red meant he had fire abilities. The black stripe meant that he was sometimes a risk to himself or others. He didn't think that she'd have a stripe on hers like he did. He held his ID up to the scanner and the lock clicked, unlocking the door. Nix pulled it open and held it for her, biting his lip.

It was almost midnight when Dylan finally texted her. 'Got the info you need.' He sent to her. He had gotten all the info that she would need and had moved it to a laptop that he could wipe clean once she had seen the info. Dylan closed the laptop and put it in his backpack. He walked outside to his motorcycle and put on his helmet before starting it and driving toward the cafe. Dylan didn't think he'd have any trouble finding her at the cafe. After a few minutes, he parked his bike, took off his helmet and walked into the cafe.

Bianca flipped her card over to look at the colors. "It's white with a black stripe going down it," she answered, not knowing that it meant but figuring it just meant that she had healing abilities. "Is there a black stripe on all of them?" she asked as she walked inside, thanking him when he held the door open for her. She didn't know what to think of him. He seemed reserved to the point of standoffish but then still asked her questions and did nice things like give her a tour a hold doors open for her. He was confusing but she was determined to figure him out.

~

When Scarlett's phone buzzed with a text from Dylan, she was honestly surprised that it only took him that long but she didn't tell him that. Instead she sent him a text saying 'Took you long enough' and continued to text about the case that she was trying not to freak out about. It was difficult not to but she knew that she had to learn to deal with it for when she was finished school. She glanced up at her phone when the small bell rang above the door but only looked at Dylan for a second before she went back to her phone while she waited for him.

Fallen (fallencatalyst) "Hmm." Nix was silent a moment, thinking. "No. It means they've catergorized you as a potential risk to yourself or others. The thicker the stripe, the worse it is." He explained, the stripe on his was wide enough that there was barely any red. Nix bit his lip, following her inside. He put his ID back in his wallet, then in his pocket. "Since you're a healer, you have access to pretty much any of the rooms in here." He informed her quietly.

---

Dylan didn't get the message until he arrived at the cafe. He rolled his eyes and didn't answer it. He walked inside the cafe, glancing around. He was wearing black jeans and a black leather jacket over a white t-shirt. He saw her and walked over. Dylan sat down across from her, taking out the laptop from his bag. He opened it up, setting it down on the table facing her.


message 42: by [deleted user] (new)

Bianca nodded slowly as she looked at the stripe on her card. It wasn't that wide but wide enough that she knew they gotten everything in her record with no details spared. Sure her powers weren't harmful to others and it meant that she could recover from anything but she got more than her fair share of people injured in her escapades. For some reason, her willingness to do whatever the hell anyone suggested gave people the confidence to do the same which was why over sixty people had ended up in hospital because of her. "Ah, that makes sense. So what kind of rooms do they even have here and why can I go anywhere?" she asked him as she looked around.

~

When Dylan set the laptop down on the table, she started scanning through the information, her eyes darting around the screen as she memorised all of the necessary information. Memorising things had always been a skill that Scarlett had been great at, she could just do it in moments and have it forever. It came in handy in school and tough times like these. After only a few minutes of scanning through everything, she turned the laptop back Dylan. "Thanks. I think I've got what I need," she told him, crossing her legs and adjusting the wine dress she was wearing.

Fallen (fallencatalyst) The stripe on Nix's ID took up more space than the red. He was more of a risk to himself to himself than others though. "There's all sorts of rooms, it's easier for you to explore and just look than for me to try and list them all." Nix told her, biting his lip. "But since you're a healer, to use your abilities, typically you or the person you're helping has to be injured. All these rooms have different risks in them." He looked around. It was somewhat loud in the hallway due to all the people that were around In the different rooms.

----

Dylan looked around the cafe while she looked through the information. He was somewhat surprised that it only took her a few minutes but didn't say anything about it. "Alright." He immediately reset the laptop, her info the only thing on it. "So why is this info important?" He asked out of curiosity as he put the laptop back in his backpack. He wondered why she needed him for it, considering any good hacker could get the info that she wanted. It just may have taken them a little bit longer.

"Oh well I can't heal people, just myself," Bianca told him as she glanced into rooms as they passed by, smiling and greeting a few people as they walked. "So what rooms do you use?" she asked casually, hoping that he didn't close up on her and just let her get a way in. She figured that it would take a long time to get close to him but that was what she wanted with her new roommate. She wanted to get close to him.

~

Scarlett set her phone down on the table and looked up at Dylan with a raised eyebrow and slight quirk upwards to her lips. She was surprised that he was interested since he had seemed to done with her up in his office and when he had walked into the cafe. "Have you ever been in court? All the fun stuff happens outside the courtroom. All you need is one sentence to break someone before they walk into that room. And it's my job to make sure that the person can be broken before they go into court so someone can tear them apart make them break into hysterics. All this evidence is inadmissible court so it's only useful outside," she answered with a shrug, ignoring her phone when it buzzed with a text.


message 45: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Nix nodded, biting his lip. "I'm only allowed in one of them. I'm not allowed in the other ones because of.. Reasons." He replied. His abilities weren't something that he liked to talk about, with anyone except for Jasper. He was closing off from her, like he did when anyone tried to get too close. Nix didn't mean to do it, it was habit and it kept him safe from others. Getting close would only end in trouble.

---

Dylan listened to her explain. "That makes sense I guess. And no. I've never been in court." He responded. "Being in court would not be good for me." He sighed softly. Dylan seemed a lot more approachable and easier to talk to sitting there in the cafe. He wasn't at work so he wasn't as worried about getting in trouble with his boss or the police about his other line of work. He ran a hand through his hair, lost in thought.


message 46: by [deleted user] (new)

Bianca opened her mouth a couple of times as she tried to figure out what to say next. She could see him closing up again and she really didn't want that so she quickly tried to figure out how to continue the conversation without prying. "Oh that's pretty cool. So what else is there to do around here?" she asked, nearly cringing at how awkward she sounded as she tried to change the subject. She was usually so much better at this but she was so worried about getting Nix to like her that she was messing up.

~

"Oh I can totally see you in court," Scarlett replied as she ran her eyes over him in a scrutinizing way. "You wouldn't be the type of person to break, you're too quiet for that. If you were going to slip then it would be an accidental slip up that someone like me would pick up on. Then you'd get called out on it and there'd be a fumble before you ultimately give everything up," she decided with a nod, leaning forward and resting her chin in the palm of her hand.


message 47: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Nix didn't mean to close up on her but he didn't want her getting close to him. He had let Jasper do that and look what happened there. Jasper is gone. Nix doesn't know if he's dead or just moved on or what. He's just gone. "The campus is mainly just academic stuff. But there's a lot of stuff nearby that you can go visit and explore.." He shrugged. The only place that he really went outside of the school campus was to the book store and sometimes Hot Topic for more band shirts.

---

"Yeah, right. I doubt that you'd or anyone would get me to give up much, if anything." Dylan replied, smirking. He still never wanted to go to court. Especially if it was about him hacking. He hacked some places that were extremely illegal and could get him in a lot of trouble. "I've never even gotten a ticket, let alone anything that would require me to go to court." He grabbed an energy drink from his backpack and opened it, drinking some.


message 48: by [deleted user] (new)

Bianca ran her fingernail over her hand, cutting herself but not even realising what she was doing. She was just doing it out of nerves, feeling like she messing everything up as he closed off from her. She really didn't know what she was supposed to do and that scared her and for someone who never got scared, it made it all that more scary. "Well what's you favourite place?" she asked, hoping the question wasn't too forward and made him close up on her again.

~

Scarlett raised an eyebrow at him and shook her head slowly. "I got you to hack for me with the mention of a common name and the promise of a favour. You're totally underestimating me. If I wanted you to have records that would require you going to court, I could totally get that done," she replied with a shrug. "It's unethical and you could get disbarred but lawyers probably work outside the law more than the people they represent." She watched as he took a drink, feeling the need for another cup of coffee but she'd had way too many that day.


message 49: by Fallen (new)

Fallen (fallencatalyst) Nix looked over at her, biting his lower lip. "I really don't go off Campus. Except for the bookstore or to Hot Topic sometimes.. I go to class and then back to my, our dorm." He shrugged. "I don't have a favorite place. I used to but it's gone now." He rubbed his eyes, his contacts bothering him. He brushed the hair out of his eyes. "Do you want to keep walking around here or go somewhere else?" He asked.

---

Dylan rolled his eyes. "Yeah, whatever." He replied. "What you wanted was easy, it took me less than an hour to get it all together. You got me to hack for you because I wanted to. It was something easy to do.. If I didn't want to do it, I wouldn't have done it. And I probably could've gotten you fired in the process." He set his energy drink down on the table, watching her.


message 50: by [deleted user] (new)

Bianca nodded as she listened to him, making sure that she wasn't smiling too wide at him. It felt strange checking everything she was saying and doing but she was just trying to get Nix to like her so she didn't want to freak him out or have him close up on her because she was being too forward. "Oh I don't mind. I'll go wherever," she answered with a wave of her hand, narrowing her eyes at him. "Do you wear contacts?" she asked when she noticed something different about his eyes.

~

Scarlett shook her head, shrugging her shoulders at him. "You wouldn't get me fired. It wouldn't work. But you go and think you can. But thank you for getting that for me," she told him, fixing her hair over one shoulder. Picking up her phone, she groaned as she read the text, running her hands over her face. "Is there any chance you could do something else for me?" she asked, biting her lip as she hoped that he'd agree because her friend had just gotten them in a serious jam.
