The tents were long gone, the cots packed up and put away, but Jaya didn't feel like she was ready to leave. She had healed, certainly, her hair had returned to it's vivid grass green color, her body was once more overflowing with energy, and she had managed to gain back all the weight she had lost during her, illness, from the Facility.

Jaya didn't understand what had gone on there, she didn't remember much, just that she had been taken, she had nearly died, and Geist had come to save her.

Geist. Where was he? After dropping her off here to get medical attention, no one had heard from him, he had just disappeared. She didn't know what to think of this. She didn't know where he was, when he'd get back. She just hoped that he came for her soon. She was in a spot she had never been before and she was afraid to go back home without him, what if he came here to look for her after she left and figured that she had abandoned him?

So she decided to wait, she would hold off until he showed up, he would have to eventually, he wasn't going to just leave her forever, was he? Jaya shook the thought out of her head as she strolled the grounds. She wished someone would be there to talk to, maybe give her a little tour of the school perhaps. She had never known that there was a school just for mutants, and she had to admit she was curious.

Kilala was stretching by a tree that was providing her good shade. At that moment, she happened to be in a split, legs spread to each side. She reached forward and exhaled, then pulled herself into a handstand. When doing this, she saw another person walking across the grounds. Mostly everyone was in the front yeards and not on near the sides, where she was. Kilala dropped her handstand and landed into a neat Indian style seat.

'Green hair...hmmm, I think I remember seeing her from the facility. Let's see...green...green for nature perhaps?' Kilala couldn't help but study every person she ever laid eyes on. It came along with her training. She decided to introduce herself seeing as the woman looked lost perhaps... Kilala cleared her throat, but continued her stretching routine.

"Hello! Are you new here??" Kilala asked, though she knew for sure the woman had been lying in one of the beds in the medical tents.

Jaya wasn't so much startled by the voice as by the awkward position its owner was holding, she could never be that flexible. She walked over to the girl, she seemed friendly enough, at least, she said hello, which was much more than most people here had said to her since she arrived.
"Uhm, yes, I'm not a student or anything, I just, I'm here from the, uh, facility," she answered, stumbling a bit over what to say. "I'm waiting for my, uh, housemate, to pick me up, I don't know when he'll get here though, I haven't heard from him in awhile." Jaya couldn't help but wear her worry openly, it was the first conversation she'd had in awhile and she had so much she wanted to know.

"Well, I'm glad to see you are feeling better from that incident. I actually helped on that mission and recognized your face," she said, standing up and brushing the grass off of her black leggings. "Your friend...what's his name? Was he part of the operation to help get the kidnapees from the facility? Maybe I know the person."

A small flame of happiness sparked up, then died again in Jaya. This woman might have met Geist on the mission, but he's not from here, why would she know him? With little to no hope, her reply came, "Geist." She paused, running her hand through her still-a-bit-scraggly hair. "He was the cold, purple type," she smiled a bit at her own joke, but then it was gone again.

Kilala's face turned to remembrance. "Oh yea. Who could forget the purple type," she started, recalling how he had tripped in the church and making himself known to everyone by his frustration level. "He seemed to be very concerned with getting you out of that facility. He couldn't wait to get moving."

She didn't want to say anything to revealing that may upset the woman. Kilala didn't even know where this Geist was. "I saw him going into the facility and coming out again. Though...I can't really remember him being here at the mansion again. All the people who participated in the mission came back to the mansion for sure, so I'm sure he was here at some point. Maybe he had to leave for some reason." She tried to lighten the woman's mood.

Kilala put her hand out for an introduction. "My name is Setsuna. What's yours?"

Jaya took in what the lady, Setsuna, what Setsuna said about Geist. It felt good that he had wanted so badly to get her back, why wouldn't he? But the pain of him not being there, the fact that he had disappeared and she had no idea where he was, or why he'd left, it still stung a bit, like maybe it was her fault somehow.

She realized that Setsuna was holding out her hand, waiting for a handshake. "Oh, sorry," she muttered, giving her hand a firm, but distracted shake. "My name's Jaya, it's uh, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too," she answered, finishing the handshake and playing with her long ponytail. Setsuna could still see Jaya was upset about not being able to figure out where her friend was. She knew all too well what it was like to fear for someone you care about, having no idea where that person may be or their condition. "You plan on staying here at the mansion then? I mean...until your friend turns up? He'll probably be looking for you here."

"Um, yeah," Jaya said, coming out of her thoughts. "Yeah, I figure if I stay in one place I'll be easier to find, when he comes, he'll come soon enough, I reckon." she tried for a grin and managed something of a smirk before giving up altogether.

"Problem is," she said, running her hand nervously through her hair, "I don't know a thing about this place." she tried to smile again and was a little more successful, but only a little.

"Ah, don't worry about that," she said, nudging the girl's shoulder. "I'll help you best I can. I haven't been here too long, but I think I know my way around pretty we..." just then, the alarms began sounding throughout the mansion grounds. "What the? This place never gets a break."

Setsuna heard Tricity's voice come over the loudspeaker informing everyone to head to the living room. "We better get going. Come on..." she said, starting to jog up the lawn and to the front of the mansion where several children were looking around nervously. She took it upon herself to usher them inside. "Everyone follow us inside, ok?"

Jaya jumped at all the noise. The alarms made her think of the facility - was she in for more trouble in staying here? The voice garbled over the speakers outside. Jaya didn't know where the library was, but Setsuna seemed to have an idea, so she started to follow her across the lawn, all the while looking around, worried about what could be happening now.

After all the kids had entered the school, Kilala pulled her katana from her back and followed everyone to the living room, checking behind her to make sure Jaya was able to follow. As people began separating into the Danger and War Rooms, she gave a slight smile to Jaya. "Well, guess we better head to the Danger Room. That's where my designated spot is and I know you wouldn't have one. Let's get down there..." she said as the large group of residents started exiting the living room. Kilala kept a close eye out to make sure they weren't all ambused as they moved through the hallways.
