Classical red and white sneakers could be seen walking off a city bus. As the vision paneled up it reveals a young girl, wearing a simple green and white hoody, a pair of beige cargo jeans, and grasping a suitcase full of her possessions. Her green dyed hair swayed in the wind as she store at the gates before her... Her name is Luna "dolly" Highland- a mutant for about a partial year, and even though she acted as though she accepted it, her mind could not grasp that she had caused the death of her brother... yet still-

"Why am I even here?" Luna muttered to herself as she her unoccupied right hand clutched a piece of fabric in her jean pocket.. She really didn't want to be here... She really wanted to go back in time and never discover her abilities! Or better yet! Never even had gotten an obsession with her stupid dolls! The Asian girl shut her eyes before reopening them, her body tensed. There was no going back now- she was here... there was no turning back ever."But just this ONCE- I want to blow something up!" Luna growled angry with herself and the whole situation.

Blowing something up with a teddy bear may seem "kiddish" however you wouldn't be saying that when you're arm is blown off to kingdom come... Luna glared at the gates before her, as her face slowly softened... "Maybe.. I'll give this a try- Owen would want that... yeah- I'll try in his memory." She muttered as she stood in front of the gates. Now where in the hell was the person that was supposed to bring her inside at?! Luna huffed in annoyance... This would be quite the problem.

Sam’s mood could have never been better as he was walking to the main gates of the mansion with a sandwich in hand. This would be the first time he would ever have been on greeting duty. With a smile on his face Sam approached the gates. Curiosity fell over his thoughts as he saw a little girl in a hoody with green hair. Sam cleared his throat as he opened the gate, “Hello there, Welcome to the mansion.”

Sam got a good look of the small girl and thought she couldn’t have been very old which raised a question, ‘why was she all alone?’ Sam of course didn’t verbalize the question seeing as he was one to hold secrets as well. After the gates were opened Sam walked over to the little girl and leaned over a little so he was eye level with her. He then extended his hand and said, “My names Sam, what’s yours?” Sam tired to keep a smile on his face even though he wasn’t exactly sure if that was the correct way to start introductions at the mansion. But what the heck, he was a outside the box thinker.

Luna had a slight frown on her features as she awaited for someone to greet her! Lo and behold someone indeed had come out to see her and it was... a GUY?! Now did get Luna wrong she liked guys- guys were fun to beat up or taunt in sports,.. or beat up. But seeing as this guy was older AND a mutant, Luna took the "Beat up for making me wait" off her list of things to do. Watching as the male went eye level to her with a smile adorning his face- Luna couldn't help but fight down a blush! 'Stupid pheromones!' She mentally berated herself, as she calmed herself down as the older boy introduced himself as "Sam".

Not one to be too rude, Luna gave a small half smile to Sam, as she spoke in a quiet voice. "I'm Luna.. Luna Highland." She spoke a little louder hoping he would hear her. Shuffling her feet then hoisting her suitcase she asked in a tomboyish tone. "So! Are you going to show me around or what?" She asked with her show of shyness gone and in it's place lied brashness. Hm. Good first impression? Most likely- not.

"I'm Luna.. Luna Highland."

Sam smiled at her name, ‘never heard that one before’ thought Sam. He stood back to his full height still with a friendly smile on his face taken aback by her comment, realizing that she wasn’t as shy as she seemed before hand.

"So! Are you going to show me around or what?"

”That’s a pretty name.” he then again leaned down eye level with her and said, “I think I could show you around the mansion.” He then looked her up and down and coming to the conclusion, he had no idea how old she was. Sam took a look at her suitcase as she hoisted up and then motioned for the bag, “So where you from Luna?” Sam leaned back up and turned around giving the ‘Follow me signal’. Sam pressed the button as the gates began to close behind them. as he took a bite of his sandwich.

Luna tried her best to smile but found herself failing. It just didn't seem right to be nice to someone she didn't know! Watching his movements she watched as Sam opened the gates... 'That's all?!' She almost had the nerve to gawk at her stupidity! If she known that before hand, she'd just walk right in! Glaring at the mutant teen's back she took her suitcase, and began to follow him.

Though was taken aback at the question of where she was from... She smirked. "What? Want my number or something?" She asked sarcastically, as she didn't feel comfortable at the moment, in fact Luna felt down right afraid! So now she was covering it up with being rude.... nice- "Um.. look sorry, I'm just nervous that's all.." Luna confided hoping the male would not get too mad at her- behavior...'First impression SUCK!' She mentally bellowed as she frowned at her own attitude.

"Um.. look sorry, I'm just nervous that's all.."

Sam turned to her and started to laugh as he waved his hand, “Ha ha don’t worry about it, and no need to be nervous no ones going to hurt you here.” He waited till she caught up to him and then turned around to walk to the front door.

Sam tried again to pick up a conversation with her so he could fill out some of the application on his own so she wouldn’t have to do all out it. “How old are you Luna?” Trying to put her at ease he figured he would tell her a little about himself to hopefully break away her nervousness, “I am nineteen, and I have been living here for almost a year now, so if you need help with anything I think I should be able to help you out.” Sam turned his head to her and gave a friendly wink, one he tried to imitate off of Neena which he had seen so many times before.

The "Doll mistress" was shocked! How could someone be so nice to her after she just made such a rude remark? It was almost... no it was too weird. Luna shook her head out of her daze, as her past filtered through her head. "..." She was quiet for quite sometime almost missing Sam's question. "What? Oh- I'm from Cleveland Ohio!" She spoke up quickly and sharply in surprise.

Her eyes having a shocked expression as she snapped out of her mental thoughts. Having the decency to blush a little at her apparent "blank-out". "If, you need to know anything else- I'm 12 1/2.. and... I like dolls..." She trailed off as she spoke embarrassed of giving off such a thing at random. Trying to cover herself up, she clutched her memento fabric as she quickly covered herself up. "I-I mean! Their part of my mutation!"

She quickly spoke out in desperation in hopes she didn't sound "girlish". But for some reason she was spurting a bunch of random info about herself. Maybe it was because she was nervous and afraid? Yeah that was it... just nervous...

"What? Oh- I'm from Cleveland Ohio!"

Sam made a mental note of her hometown so he could fill it out on the resident sheet so she wouldn’t have to worry about that, no reason someone who just got here had to fill out a bunch of paper work. Sam hated paper work, which reminded him that he still hasn’t filled out his history/family on his paper work and there was no way he was going to remind Neena that was something he still wasn’t ready to talk about.

They were now inside the building and Sam was leading her to the kitchen to see if she wanted a bite to eat, there was a burning smell in the air and it made his stomach growl. Sam took a bite of his sandwich as he listened to Luna talk a little more about herself. Sam could still tell she was a bit nervous.

"If, you need to know anything else- I'm 12 1/2.. and... I like dolls..." "I-I mean! Their part of my mutation!"

Sam nodded and spoke, “That’s interesting, what exactly can you do with those dolls?” Sam had always been a bit nosey when it came to finding out what other mutants could do with their powers. Sam looked to the girl and waved a hand in her direction as a small ice sculptor of a ballerina formed. Sam smiled already controlling her to move into a bow and then made her dance in front of Luna, “I create and control ice, this is only a small bit of what I can do.” Sam snapped his fingers as the little ballerina shattered into tiny bits of ice that vanished away like dust in the wind.

Arriving in the kitchen Sam looked to Luna and said, “Right this is the kitchen, tons of food here and it’s always is open. Seeing as you just got here, I am sure you must be a little hungry, would you like something to eat or drink?”

Luna followed Sam into the building noting every little detail she could, this was a mansion after all! It could be easy to get lost... 'This is way different from a two-story house in Ohio!' The green haired girl thought in awe. Though her attention soon turned to what the older mutant was asking her again... "What can I do?..." She echoed quietly as the image of Owen's lifeless corpse entered her mind, as Luna shook the thoughts from her head.

The "Doll Mistress" stopped and looked in awe and fascination of Sam's ice manipulation abilities. It made her wish she had something more... "Useful" "Well- I can make my dolls explode..." She confided once more, as she found a random wall very interesting at the moment... Better to hide her bitterness, and her envy of not having a "cool" power like Sam's. As they walked into the kitchen Luna listened to what the Ice teen was saying about food. And at that moment her stitched stomach began to growl... Talk about ironic!

"Um.. yeah- Sure! What'd ya got?" She asked with a mask of a tomboyish attitude back on. Slowly her nervousness began to disappear if only slightly. Besides why be scared when you're hungry?

"Um.. yeah- Sure! What'd ya got?"

Sam smiled as he could her tone changed a little, “well…” Sam turned as he took another bite of his sandwich as he walked and opened the fridge, “Whatever you like, probably could find almost any food you can think of here…” Sam paused for a second as his stomach growled a little, “think I am going to make an omelet you wan one Luna?”

Sam pulled the ingredients out as he turned on the stove. He pulled out a carton of eggs, a bag of shredded cheese, and one onion a green pepper, a red peeper, and some tomatoes. Sam looked to Luna and pointed out a chair at the table, “feel free to take a seat, if you want something else besides eggs let me know and I’ll make it for you.” A knife made of ice appeared in Sam’s hand as he twirled it around and then brought it back down onto the vegetables he was preparing for his meal.

After the ingredients were chopped and their was butter on the stove Sam went back to the fridge and pulled out some bread to be toasted along with a jug of milk, “So Luna, tell me a little more about yourself, or your powers, why did you come here, your pick, today is all about you!” Sam looked to her and smiled trying to assure her that there was nothing that she should be nervous about in the mansion.

Luna nodded as she went to take a seat, she smiled lightly as she felt herself warming up to Sam. "Um... an omelet sounds good! Um, could you have some bacon as well?" She asked shyly, apparently even though she was getting used to Sam, she still quite shy towards him. And once again Luna cursed her 'coming of age'.

The green haired Doll Demolition girl watched with slight awe as Sam showed his prowess in his skill with his ice manipulation. 'About me..?' She thought with a mental grimace, there was nothing else to note about her other then murder on her list. Luna became silent for a few moments only the sound of Sam's cooking could be heard, until she finally spoke up with a little more life in her voice. "Well... for starters- my powers are based on my dolls." She spoke in an explaining manner to Sam.

Running a hand through her dyed locks she gave him a glance before looking at something else as she continued. "But I can't make them out of thin air, I need some sort of material..." Luna paused.

"The material required is the basics that make up the doll." She said. "Thread or fabric does the trick usually, though even though after I make the said doll I still have throw it- which my range is limited as well due my lack of strength." explained Luna as she store at Sam, "Though.. I don't like harming people.. or getting hurt." She finally finished her monologue, as the Doll Mistress fell silent once again.

"Um... an omelet sounds good! Um, could you have some bacon as well?"

Sam smiled as he said, “you got it,” Sam turned his back to the stove as he went to rummage the freezer and fridge for any bacon. With some luck Sam found an unopened package of bacon and pulled it out as he put another pan on the stove.

"Well... for starters- my powers are based on my dolls." "But I can't make them out of thin air, I need some sort of material..." "The material required is the basics that make up the doll." "Thread or fabric does the trick usually, though even though after I make the said doll I still have throw it- which my range is limited as well due my lack of strength." "Though.. I don't like harming people.. or getting hurt."

Sam smiled as he put down the bacon on the stove as a loud ‘sizzle’ sound was given off. Sam then cleared his voice and said, “That sound’s like a very interesting ability, haven’t heard of any one with a ability like that, and to top it off you don’t like to abuse it, I think you’ll fit in great here.” Sam tossed in the ingredients to the eggs and then flipped the eggs in the pan as he then went to the toaster and hit the toast button as four pieces of toast began to cook. He then went to the bacon and flipped them and then motioned for the plates, silver wear and glasses. After everything was together Sam split up all the food evenly as he set Luna’s portion in front of her and across from her Sam sat with all of his food.

“So Luna, do your parents know you're here? Sorry for all the questions but it’s part of you becoming a resident here. If you don’t feel like answering it you don’t have to I have a few other question I have to ask you as well before I can get you a room set up.” Sam smiled at her and then gave a comforting wink. Right after Sam dug right into his food making a sandwich out of the bacon toast and eggs.

"It's not so great when you're ability killed a loved one..." Muttered a saddened Luna not realizing if Sam heard her or not.Blinking from her stare at the table up towards Sam, she gave a small half smile again. "Ah. Thanks for the meal!" She thanked as she took the plate and slowly took her time eating the food. Listening to what Sam had to say, she swallowed a portion of her food before answering.

"Yeah.. they know, their the ones who decided to bring me here after-" Luna cut herself off refusing to delve into that again. "After something happened with my powers." She said vaguely as she took the fork in hand once more and took a small stab at her bacon. It has always been a habit of Luna's to eat her bacon with a fork, a weird quirk but she couldn't help but like it- it was what Owen would do...

Luna blinked away the oncoming tears as she smiled at Sam, before putting her utensils down. "Um... once again thanks for the food." Thanked the green haired doll user, as she nodded her head to what Sam had said. "I understand- important info and stuff, to make sure you don't get a bad person or something, right?"

She inquired as she patted her stitched stomach underneath her hoody, before letting a quick belch. "Excuse me." She pardoned herself at her rude gesture. Before she looked at Sam awaiting for anymore questions.

"It's not so great when you're ability killed a loved one..."

Sam picked up the muttering but decided to hold off on the questioning about her ‘loved one’ until she was more comfortable at the mansion. Sam himself still wasn’t comfortable enough to talk about it so why would she have to. ‘She’ll talk when she is ready’ thought Sam as he took a bite of his sandwich.

"Um... once again thanks for the food." Sam smiled and waved hi hand, ”Don’t mention it, only right I set your meal up, not to long ago I was sitting where you were and some one was interviewing me.” Sam thought back to the leftovers he ate as Neena questioned him as she filled out the form that was required for all residents.

"I understand- important info and stuff, to make sure you don't get a bad person or something, right?"

Sam nodded, “Well from what I can tell you don’t look to bad, the form…” Sam pushed himself away from his meal as he went to a drawer and pulled out a folder. He brought the folder back to his seat and then grabbed a pen on the table; “this is juts personal contact information if something were to happen, and also asks if you’re allergic to anything and your abilities. Sam filled out the age and hometown slots on the form before sliding it to Luna, “fill out what you can and we can go from there.” He looked at Luna’s suitcase and said, “after that we can get you a room picked out, and then get you set up for some classes here.”

Sam finished his sandwich as he was doing his and Luna’s dishes in the sink. After he was done he walked back to his seat and sat down to see how Luna was doing.

Luna simply nodded as she looked at the sheet, it was pretty much basic and straight forward.... She took the pen held by the board clip as she began answering the questions.

Who may we contact in case of emergency?

That was pretty simple, - 'Yuri Highland(Father), Rachael Highland(Mother)'-

After writing that down she scanned the rest of the questions.

Are you allergic to anything?

'No'

What is you're basic Mutant Power?

Luna smirked at this, this would sound funny... 'Exploding Teddy Bears'

After answering the small list of questions she sat back as she turned her whole body around to speak to Sam. "Um- Well I answered the questions, so... now what?" The green haired twelve year old asked inquisitively.

[Sorry short post >.< I'm hoping to get this thread done soon... not to be rude or anything.]
