Gemma listened carefully as Kenda explained her powers. She had thought it was merely invisibility, or maybe astral projection... but the truth was a lot more complicated than that. In fact, Gemma was impressed how complex the girl's abilities were, and with how much she already understood about them. Since they activated when she was asleep, it must have been quite the difficult process to figure out what she could and could not do.

>>"The other night, I was wand'rin round the hedge maze, and I got lost. I tried to concentrate on how to get outta it, but the harder I concentrated the more somethang weird happened. It was like the edges of the maze began to ripple and break apart, like someone dropped a stone in'a pond and the ripple slowly started getting bigger and bigger... It was pretty scary."

Gemma blinked in surprise. That did sound scare. She had heard rumors about mutant who could manipulate the fabric of reality itself... but those were powers too great even for a world where mutants existed, and she was not sure nature would allow such a thing. Still, she made a mental note to go out to the maze later and take a look, to see if she could find any trace of the events.

"That must have been quite difficult for you." she nodded compassionately "Your powers sound very complex. No wonder you don't understand all of them yet... but that's why the school is here." she gave her and encouraging smile "And you are not the first dreamwalker to come through our doors either. There's a boy... his abilities are different from yours, but they also activate when he is asleep. He also complained about being exhausted all the time... so I offered that he could sleep on the couch in my office while I was working. My aura canceled his abilities out, and he could get a good rest that way." she smiled "The offer is open to you too, if you want."

Kendra wasn't able to manipulate reality. She couldn't actually change anything about the world except for simply picking up a pencil or something equally mundane. She had the potential within her to craft dreams, but she didn't know this.   For now she simply seemed stuck in a limbo of wandering halls and restless nights. The waves breaking apart at the edges of the maze was a tiny hiccup.  What it actually was, was her mind trying to change what she saw. It was her crafting the dream she inhabited. 

She would still be inside the hedge maze only she would 'feel' as if she was somewhere else. Dream crafting wasn't something she even thought of as a possibility and when it started to happen the tiniest bit it freaked her out. She didn't want to try again. Kendra simply wanted to forget it ever happened. She wasn't even entirely sure it was her. It could have very well been another mutant wandering around in the maze or outside on the grounds practicing their powers whatever they might be. Heck she was probably just seeing things because she lives in a constant state of exhaustion due to her mutation. 

Kendra sighed and realized that she had been nervously tugging at the hem of her shirt as she listened to Gemma talk about another dream walker.  She said his powers were different from hers.  But his powers also activated when he slept.  Suddenly was interested in hearing more about it.  "There've been others like me here?"  She wondered what they were like.  What all they could do.  It would have been amazing to learn from another dream walker how to control certain things.  If anyone could explain it more to her they surely could. 

Kendra was sinking back into the recesses of her own mind.  She was considering the possibilities of actually learning how to deal with them.  Kendra smiled lightly when Gemma offered to allow her to sleep in her office.  That was awfully nice of her, but it still freaked her out a little.  She supposed it couldn't hurt to try, if there were other dream walkers and it had helped them sleep.  "Thanks." was all she said about it. 

Kendra didn't know much about her powers, for everything she did know there was a whole slew of things about it she didn't know.  She just knew it made her invisible and gave her the ability to teleport around at will.  She had invisibility and free time on her hands which obviously meant she had become a bit of a prankster. She had to find ways to entertain herself throughout the night.  Kendra smiled at Gemma. And accepted her offer of sleeping in her office.  "Well.  I suppose I wouldn't mind tryn'a get some shut eye sleepin round ya.  It would be nice to realize my brain has'a off switch." 

>> "There've been others like me here?"

"Yes, more than one." Gemma nodded with a smile. Mutations were so rare an unique that any time someone could encounter another mutant with similar powers, it was always a treat. Gemma could understand the excitement. It was hard enough to figure one's powers out that even if someone else's were not a complete match, it still felt like a godsend. "Most people at the Mansion come and go occasionally, but we have had some dreamwalkers around."

>>"Well. I suppose I wouldn't mind tryn'a get some shut eye sleepin round ya. It would be nice to realize my brain has'a off switch."

Gemma nodded. "Any time you need. I work in my office a lot, and I don't really have another job outside of the Mansion, so let me now when you need some sleep, and we'll make it happen. It's not really an off switch... as much as... a safe zone where your powers don't kick in."
