It's okay Ruby, since I haven't posted either

Magik, that art makes me want to go to the Alphonse/Kyle scenes already

I love it. Who's the guy as Alphonse (I forgot to ask earlier)? I wanna make arts too!

Sorry its taken so long. I've been completely stuck as to what to post.

TESS

“So, now what?" Michael asks.

“Well first you can loosen that grip you’ve got on my arm.” I state and Michael quickly lets go. I can’t help but wonder where he disappeared to just then. He was so lost in thought. The fact that his grip had tightened on my arm suggested that he was thinking about Nicholas. I’m tempted to use my powers to see if I was right but dismiss the idea straight away. I would never use my powers on my friends just for the sake of it.

My thoughts are quickly filled with Samuel, my very own darksider brother. Its hard to believe that one womb could produce such different children. Samuel and I are as different as night and dark, we always were. He took after our father and I took after our mother. I sometimes wonder who got the better deal. A part of me longs to see Samuel again, to make sure that he is okay and then the other part of me, the smart part, knows that he is forever lost to me.

Shaking away thoughts of my brother, I shrug in reply to Michael’s question. “I don’t know. Maybe we should find Max and Isabel.”

ooc: Anna, it's either Jeremy or Jason London. I can't remember which one, I've got pics of both but since they are twins, I guess it doesn't really matter

But yes, it does make me ready for their parts

I'll post Michael later Ruby

Kyle

"So, what makes them wierder than a faceless woman?" Alex asks and I let out a small laugh. Oh, something really forbidden. At least it would be if I'd think like that. I actually... didn't know how to feel about it. I had always liked Alphonse a lot.... Even after he turned evil. It wasn't normal...the liking. It was something else. Something brothers shouldn't feel.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Alex asks. Did I? Yes. 'Only if you want to hear about a dream where I kiss my own brother in the middle of flames' I imagine myself saying, but I don't say it, because I didn't want to seem like a freak.

"It's just... Fire and some hot kissing with a cool looking person. That's all. Listen, maybe we should go find Maria. She hasn't returned yet..." I said and got up. "You know, it's not safe in the city, since the dark-siders might be anywhere."

I don't want to talk about seeing dreams about kissing my own brother, so I need to change the subject. I hope that the dream-subject will stay away for a while. At least until I stop seeing those dreams.

Tamara later.
Thanks magik! I'll have to search a bit

Michael

“I don’t know. Maybe we should find Max and Isabel.” Tess responds to my question of what to do.

I sigh and look around the marketplace. It's bustling with energy and people. Normally, I would roam about watching those around me. Watching happy families spend time together selling and buying goods. Watching them and wishing I'd had grown up with a family such as that. But today, I felt restless. My usual habits refused to bring peace.

"Yeah, I guess we can do that. Isabel is at the library. Max...he's the one that we must find. Which way?"

Tamara

"Let's get going and find the others," Alphonse announces and I look up. That was faster than I thought. I get up and follow him - calmly, because I don't want to seem like a pompous little dog. It wouldn't be fun if he'd think I was annoying...Or maybe he does think I'm annoying, but doesn't show it. Hmm... What a complicated guy. I don't know what's in his mind.

"Do you have something in your mind that bothers you?" I ask. Hey, this was a great opportunity to practice my powers. I didn't need to talk when I manipulated other people. I could just ask him things and he'd tell them to me. I focus on using my powers. "Would you like to tell me about it?" I ask and slowly use my powers.

Soon he would tell me what's bothering him. I was sure something was, since he was all quiet all the time - well we hadn't talked all that much, but he was still too quiet.

'You can trust me your secrets,' I assure him through my powers.

Erica

I watch the town from a roof. All those people who had no idea what was going on between us and the chosen-bastards. Every child was unaware that there were people with special powers - well, I would be happy to show them that people did have powers like I did. Even if I can only heal myself and jump.

'One day this city will be ruined' I think and jump to the next roof. There has to be familiar faces in the city... Somewhere. I just need find them and let them know about the gathering. Damn it, we needed some way to communicate...

I jump some alley and sigh. I hope that one of the dark siders is near me - the one who can read other peoples thoughts and close my eyes.

'Samuel, I hope you can hear me. We're meeting at Restora for a planning. If you hear me come to an alley near the Inn....I'm here.'

- - -

Erica is in an alley near the room where Samuel is with the girl, so he's able to hear Erica. He doesn't have to come, of course :p.

~Alphonse~

I begin walking down the hillside, heading toward Restora. I know Tamara is right behind me. She always is, but soon she catches up and keeps pace with me.

"Do you have something in your mind that bothers you?" She asks giving me a glance. "Would you like to tell me about it?"

I swallow hard. Her voice is soft yet...there's something about it that beckons me to speak. I'm not one to share my thoughts with others. Kyle was the only one I'd done that, but only when we were very young. He knows me better than anyone else on this planet.

I shake my head. "I was just thinking of my brother." I start but stop. I never talk about Kyle. Those thoughts stayed within me, never spoken.

'You can trust me your secrets,' I hear inside my head but it was more of a brush of wind. Not really spoken but sensed.

"These dreams..." I stop again wondering what is wrong with me. That's when I realize that there are other forces at work. I stop walking and turn to Tamara. My eyes bore into her as I try to keep the anger from my expression but not my voice.

"Tamara. Don't ever...use your powers on me." I take a deep breath and calm my anger. "My thoughts are private. If you try this again...I shall not be so kind as to warn you again."

I turn and continue my trek down the hill. I should keep her away from me, possibly even bann her from the group but I don't. In fact I have to admire her for trying to coerce my thoughts out of me. Only a darksider would dare to use their abilities on another of their group.

Tamara

"I was just thinking of my brother," Alphonse says and stops. Yes it's working. My powers are actually working on him. "These dreams..." he continues but stops again. Hmm... He's resisting it. How can that be possible? Oh wait - Maybe he guessed I was going to do that. Damn it...

He stops walking and turns to look at me. His eyes watch mine and I swallowed. Now he's angry. I just hope that he won't use his powers... I'm not really good at standing heat.

"Tamara. Don't ever...just your powers on me," he says and sounds really angry. "My thoughts are private. If you try this again...I shall not be so kind as to warn you again."

He turns and contiues walking. I sigh silently - and I was glad that I was still in one piece. Alphonse is scary at sometimes... but it was worth it. Something about a brother... Funny, I didn't know Alphonse has a brother. I wonder if he looks as handsome as Alphonse does. Probably so. I smile and continue walking behind him. Part of me wants to apologize for using my powers, but I'm sorry, so why should I?

"Do you think we should go the regular rote to Restora or a short cut?" I ask as I keep my distance.

ooc: Love the new siggy Anna

*Alphonse*

Tamara keeps her distance now. I'm sure I've scared her, which is good. It's always the best to keep your friends and enemies a little scared of you. They will think twice before turning on your. Of course, whether I would have actually used my fire on her....what am I thinking? Of course I would. We all have secrets. And Kyle is my biggest one. Not many people know about him, and I want to keep it that way. The last thing I need is someone seeing my worst weakness.

"Do you think we should go the regular rote to Restora or a short cut?" She asks, still keeping her distance.

"You know as well as I do, that 'shortcut' is not really faster." I say without a glance back. Everyone knew that. But sometimes it was more fun. The 'shortcut' went right through a small village that was fun to terrorize when the mood hit. I guess you could call it our own private practice grounds to play around with our abilities.

"We have no time for that today. Let's find the others. We can play later."
