Autumn lay on one of the couches in the Rec Room while aimlessly throwing a hackey sack between her hands. "Could this day get any more boring?" she basically screamed as she sat up. She had been sitting in the Rec Room alone for the last four hours and she was more bored than when she had come in. "Logan's hunting, flying's boring, and this hackey sack is absolutely no help!" She threw the hackey sack at the opposite wall and buried her face in her hands. ((Yeah, she's being melodramatic again.... I'm gonna bring Jasper in soon though. ))

Chaosti wandered into the Rec Room, bored and unable to find anyone. When he spotted Autumn he started to smile, but it fell upon seeing that she was upset. Going to her side, he put a hand on her shoulder and said, "Hey - what's wrong?"

Autumn's head shot up when she sensed Chaosti. "Oh thank god," she said. "There is someone just as bored as me." She threw her arms around his neck. "You have absolutely no idea how boring it is to sit in this room for four hours with nothing but a hackey sack for entertainment?"

Chaosti wrapped his arms around Autumn and said with a little laugh, "I think I have some idea. I even did my Potions homework."

"Seriously?" Autumn laughed. "I don't think you've ever done your Potions on your own." She sighed and pulled back a little. "I suppose it could be worse. We could be swamped with work or invaded by a group of aliens or-" She stopped and tilted her head to one side, listening. "Huh... that's weird."

Chaosti raised an eyebrow and, knowing what that look of hers meant by now, asked, "What do you hear?"

"Nothing," Autumn said, thinking. "An empty spot.." Right then the door opened to reveal the amazingly adorable a teenage boy with large sunglasses and a backwards baseball cap barely covering his touseled blond hair. He had a gym bag on one shoulder, a baseball bat to the other, and a guitar strapped to his back. He looked around the room, not noticing Autumn and Chaosti. "You ask where you can have a bit of fun and they send you here. There isn't even a damn foosball table up here."

"There's darts," Chaosti said helpfully. "You must be new here."
[ooo, my brilliance on Benadryl.. >_>]

((Wonderful. I applaud you.))
The boy's head whipped around right before he heard Chaosti. Autumn watched this interaction and burst out laughing. "Oh wow," she said. "I should've seen this coming." The boy stared at her like she had three heads. "You're a telepath. You have to be. That's the only explanation." He still stared at her blankly. "I'm not sure what you're talking about. I just came here to find something to do. I don't understand where the telepath thing came from." Autumn's jaw dropped. How could this kid be so stupid. She looked to Chaosti, begging him to help. She didn't get how the guy didn't get it.

Chaosti looked just as confused at Autumn, and he asked her silently, *What's with him? Has he never heard the word before or something?* After a moment he said out loud, slowly and watching for the new guy's reaction, "What brings you to ADSGMP, then?" Just then, Elena entered the room with Carrie. They were chatting merrily and laughing now and then. Elena's hair has been dyed from its natural fire-engine red to pink with black undertones. Spotting Autumn and Chaosti, she grins and hurries over to them. "Dudes! Check out the new 'do!" She spins around to show her new hair off, then finally spots the boy. "Oh! Hey, new guy!" [And here is what Elena looks like, including the tiara but without the Sidekick: i12.photobucket.com/albums/a229/Starcrossed09/02.jpg]

Autumn waved at Elena, but doesn't really focus on her. She watched the new guy who now sat in one of the chairs, peeling off his layers of baggage. ((Yeah, that sounded cooler in my head.....)) "I'm here because I was told people here could help me," the guy said. "Isn't that why you guys are here?" "No," Autumn answered. "We're here because we fit in here." Then she jumped up. The guy raised an eyebrow at her. "You... You're a... Wait. Do it again," she said. "Do what again?" "The thing where you went from being an empty spot to someone with actual thoughts, duh."

Elena just watched the whole exchange with a raised eyebrow.
"What is it exactly you need help with?" Chaosti asked, trying to figure out what this guy's situation was. Was he muggle-born? But surely they'd explained to him..?
Upon hearing the new guy speak, Carrie grinned and said, "Hey, a fellow American! Where you from?"

The guy decided to ignore the crazy girl who'd jumped off the couch and turned to Carrie. "Boston," he said. He took off his hat and turned it around to show the Red Sox symbol. ((Dude, totally make her a Yankees fan. Instant drama.)) "Southie, if you want to get specific."
Autumn looked between Chaosti and the new guy before groaning loudly and sitting in mid-air. She took a few deep breaths before she calmed down and looked at Chaosti. "Am I gonna have to spell it out for him?" Her eyes were pleading for help from the shifter.

"Aaah," Carrie said. "I'm from New York. Manhattan. My ex was a huge Yankees fan." [The closest I can get her to that, lol! Because Carrie? Doesn't even know what sport they're talking about. xD]
Chaosti gave her a little helpless 'I have no idea' look, then said to the new guy, eyebrows furrowed, "You.. do know what a mage is, right?"

((Right.. that sucks... It would have been hilarious if it would have worked though...))
"Ah," the new guy said. "I don't suppose you broke up with him on those grounds alone?" Then he turned to Chaosti. "The headmistress or whatever might've mentioned it, but I'm wicked jet-lagged so I didn't really retain anything."
Autumn listened to the guy and furrowed her brow. "Wicked? What the hell is he talking about?" ((Sorry, had to put that in... I remember how people hated me saying it.))

"Your hair looks great, Elena. How innovative, Elena," Elena mutters to herself, plopping down on a nearby couch.
"Actually, he was extremely overbearing and paranoid. But sure, coulda been the Yankee thing too," Carrie replied with a grin.
Chaosti took a deep breath and said, "Ah, well then.. Do you know that everyone in this school is, essentially, a superhero without alter egos and costumes?" Elena's eyes widened at that and she exclaimed, "Oh my god, I would love a costume."

"Logan has a costume," Autumn said. "Have you seen the cape?" I haven't been ignoring the hair, Elena. It does look good. I'm just preoccupied with Mr. Wicked over there, she thought to her sorta, kinda, maybe, almost friend.
"Superheroes?" the guy said. Then he saw Autumn and stepped back. "Okay, I thought she was crazy before... Now I'm thinkin' the therapists were right..."
"Oh, come on!" Autumn said. "I'm only like... two feet off the ground.. I'm not even moving. And what do you mean by the therapists? Of course, if you would let up on the shields for like a second I'd know..."

Elena smiles to herself, tossing her hair over her shoulder, and thinks, *Why, thank you.*
"Well, that's what a mage is. A witch or wizard with an unusual, wandless ability - such as Autumn's telekineses, telepathy, etcetera, or my shapeshifting," Chaosti tries to explain. "Albus Dumbledore School For Gifted Magical Persons is a school for mages. Get it?"

The guy ran a hand through his already messy hair and sat on the chair behind him. "Not really, but I guess I have to. Even if it's wicked screwed up." He sighed.
Autumn groaned and stood back up, on the ground. She walked back over and sat next to Chaosti. "This one's gonna be a handful," she muttered. "Okay, let's go to less confusing topics. We get that you're from Southie, Boston, America. Wherever that is. But what's your name?"
The guy cocked an eyebrow at her before bursting out laughing. "Okay, first of all. Let's get that location thing fixed. I'm from Boston, Massachusetts. It's the capital of the state. I'm from the southern part of the city. Mostly Irish and black kids. All huge Sox fans." He indicated the hat again. "And I'm Jasper. Jasper Hale." ((I thought about which last name to use, but I'm still not sure..))

Chaosti automatically put his arm around Autumn's shoulders when she sat next to him, then thought sympathy to her [if that made sense..]. Out loud he said, "I'm Chaosti Sohma. Welcome to ADSGMP, Jasper."
"Elena Jade."
"Oh, I'm Carrie Bradshaw," Carrie said, realizing she hadn't introduced herself either. "What house are you in, Jasper?"
