IC: Lyris was back at the shelves again, stacking more stuff. It seemed like all she could do that day. Her mind kept wandering back to that morning with her co-worker. Every time they got close enough to speak, Lyris would turn her head and pretended no to notice her. It was sad to do that to her, she was really nice, but she just couldn't talk to her at the moment.
Lyris was plunged back into reality as Matthew made his re-entrance. He grinned broadly and called her name as he jogged down the aisle. Lyris frowned. “Come on, come on. Pick up the pace.” He said as he stopped in front of her. “I want to go do something today.” “I already told you, I have to wait until I finish my shift--” But she was cut off buy a man clearing his throat behind them. They both looked over at the man. He was a very thin man with glasses and a business suit. He held a clipboard in one hand and an envelope in the other. “Lyris Swanson. Correct?” he asked in a bland manner. Lyris nodded and he continued. “This is for you.” He said handing her the envelope. “You can leave with your friend now. I’m sorry but we no longer need you.” With that he turned and left.
Lyris stared at the envelope in shock. “I’m…being let go?” she asked slowly. “Well…Hey! At least you got your check first.” Matthew said trying to cheer her up. She said nothing, but staggered a little before sitting down on the floor.
Matthew looked down at her then looked away biting his lip. He turned around again with a bright look on his face. “You must be hungry. Let’s go get lunch, my treat.”
“Ya, lunch sounds nice.” She said in the same slow voice. She put the letter away but didn’t move from her spot on the ground.
Ooc: Welcome! =D

Lyris was smiling to herself as her boss went yelling back to his office. Matthew walked passed him as he made his way toward her. “What are you doing here?” She asked frowning.
He shrugged “I just thought that today was a boring day and I came to visit you.” He knelt down and moved some of the things on the shelves. “What’s up with you today? Even I can tell this is in the wrong spot.” Lyris said nothing. He poked her. “Come on! Pick up the pace. I don’t want to sit here all day.”
She gave him a funny look “I still have to finish my time frame. You should know that.”
“Ya, but I think that you need a new job anyways.” He said grinning
Lyris pushed him aside with a playful smile. “I’ll play hooky after the fifteenth, I want to get my paycheck first.” She went back to her cart of food that need to be put away. “Blarg I don’t care.” She began to shove the food into random spots.
“Hey! Do your job slacker!” Matthew said standing up.
“You’re the one who wants me to quit!” she argued back.
“Ya well, if you want to keep it, then do it right!” He said with a smirk. Lyris scowled and muttered darkly to herself. “What was that?” He asked leaning over. A smile played on his lips.
“If I wanted you to hear that I would have said it louder.” Lyris said matter-of-factly “Now go find something to do until I’m done!”
Ooc: heh heh heh Oh, just so you know, Lyris is a total coward. She will act all tough but sh e is so not. > ) It makes her really fun to play.

Lyris was still drownding in thought when her boss came storming down towards her looking over the rows of missplaced food. She didn't really notice it was him until he yanked the box of pop-tarts she was putting away and set it on the proper shelf.
"What is taking you so damn long?!" He yelled. He's face was very red and a small blood vain was pulsing on his temple.
She gave him a blank look before ansewering. "I...don't feel well" she said slowly. Her boss still looked angry but stopped yelling.
"Finish that up then go home. I dont want you to get my other employees sick." he said with a displeased look. Lyris started to put things on shelves again but he didnt leave. She looked at him but he just looked right back at her. She turned back to the shelves but it was just so distracting having him watch her. She closed her eyes and let har mind reach out to everything on the shelves. Up on the top of the shelves one of the cookie bags was slightly over the edge like some kid had tried to get it, and Directly over her bosses head. It was too heavy for her to push herself. She moved the air above it back and forth and made it swing down and knock the bag of cookies off the shelf. They fell and landed square on her bosses head breaking open. Lyris stifled a laugh as he stormed about curseing. She was much more awake now. Putting down the boxes of food she cleaned up the cookies and rearanged the shelves.
Ooc: I like cookies!

Lyris thought quietly to herself as she walked along the side walk to her work. A cold front from the ocean was sweeping through the town chilling every thing. She pulled her arms closer to her sides and walked faster. As she turned the corner the supermarket she worked at came into view. Lyris ran up to the door and pushed it open. The door opened with a small beep and a rush of warm air. The door closed its self behind her as she walked in to the back room to check in.
Lyris shared greetings with a few people as she put her uniform on but otherwise was lost in her own thoughts. She put things on shelves not really thinking about what she was doing or noticing that most of the things she put away were not in the right spot. A few people even stopped to tell her that the things she was putting away were on the wrong shelf. Lyris responded to them with a blank look and a quick sorry before seeking out the proper shelves.

By the end of the conversation Lyris was standing up strait with a cold look on her face. 'What was the point of me even tring to be nice?' she thought to herself 'I knew that they wouldn't accept me.' She put her hands in her pockets and turned to the girl from her work."I'm sorry for being late and interrupting you. I'll see you at work." Lyris gave a small nod of her hear to say she was leaving a walked off.
The girl from her work frowned sadly and waved her good-bye. "Lori, you hang out with her at work?" one girl asked rudely. Lori turned around slightly insulted "Yes! she's actually a very nice person when your not looking down at her critically." she jabbed the last part at them with a harsh look. The girls exchanged glances and shrugged going on their way.
Lyris walked slowly back to her apartment building. She climbed the stairs and opened the door, she hadn't locked it. Being carful to lock the door behind her Lyris took a quick look around the room to make sure nothing was stolen. Not that she had anything of value in her room anyways. She walked into the bathroom and shut the door. She washed herself off, scrubbing under her finger nails and making herself all around presentable.
Lyris came out of the bathroom much later feeling refreshed but still very tired. She checked the clock before leaving her room again, locking the door behind her. Time for work, she wasn't going to be late today. Maybe tomarrow.

Lyris rushed down the stairs of the appartment complex and out into the street. She ran onto the side walk across the street and sprinted one block, two blocks, three blocks, Lyris counted in her head.
Lyris' breathing came in gasps as she neared her destionation. A small cafe on the coner of the street stood out from all the rest with its vivid paint job and colorful flowers. A group of six girls came out laughing with each other, Lyris had missed it. After a long time of talking between breaks, a girl fom the store she worked at finally invited her out to a social event for girls only: breakfast.
Lyris hung her head and began to walk away. But the girl saw her and called her over. Lyris turned and hesitated, but walked over to the mass of girls. A few comments were passed as she aproched them.
Suddenly Lyris became very self consious about how she looked, she hung her head slightly and gave a nervous smile. "Hi." she said in a meek voice. The girls sent her harsh looks.
"You look like you just woke up." said one girl
"I did." Lyris muttered the smile dissapearing from her face. More looks were excanged.
Ooc: oye, kinda short............. -shurgs- oh well

Ooc: Oye. I'm just gonna butt in here...>.> hope thats not a problem.....^ ^()
Ic: Lyris sat at the table in her tiny apartment with a glass of water. She hadn't been able to sleep all night. She took a drink from her glass and continued to stare strait ahead. Her eyes were half open and baggy. She wore a white tank-top and blue pajama pants. With a small thud Lyris' head fell forward and she layed down across the table. She moaned and pulled herself back up. In a clumsy movement Lyris tried to stand up from the chair and knocked the glass of water to the ground. It shattered sending glass and water in every direction. Lyris cursed and picked up a rag from her sink. She mopped up the water and carfully swept up the glass. Throwing it away, lyris went over in her mind what her manager had said to her before she left the store where she worked.
"You come in late again and your fired." His musky voice flashed through her mind. "What the hell ever." She thought with a scowl. "Like you know anything." Lyris flung herself onto her bed and pulled a pillow over her head. "Sun.....go away..." She muttered. Suddenly she leapt out of her bed. "Oh my God! Oh my God!" She shouted throwing on clothing. SHe grabbed her bag and ran out the door shouting all the way.
Ooc: Okay so Lyris' mind can go out and feel over things, thats why she couldn't like read a book are anything. so she can move stuff but she cant like lift stuff very well, like at all. But she can like bend air and water stuff that doesn't have a riged form.

Lyris sat at a picnic table out side with Matthew. She looked slightly irritated as she ate her sandwich. "For the last time." She said through a mouthful "I don't know."
Matthew sat across from her also eating a sandwich and holding a deck of cards. "Sure you do. what is is?" He asked looking at a card.
Lyris rolled her eyes and reached out to the card with her mind. In her mind she could see them and the table just like she woudl have if she was looking with her eyes but it was in the form of white light, not color. She could see the sound from matthews speech but could not tell what he was saying by just looking at them. To her the card was blank, she could see the tear in the card and the place where she bend it, but all the patterens on the card were missing. She pulled the card toward her with her mind and Matthew gave out a shout of protest. Opening her eyes Lyris looked at the card. "Four of hearts." She said smiling Matthew plucked the card from her mental grasp. "Thats cheating." He said shuffling the card back into the deck. "Not really." Lyris said taking another bite from her sandwich. "Use your power to find out what it is." Matthew said holding out another card. "I did! Didn't you see me?" Lyris asked "Thats not what I ment and you know it." Matthew said. Lyris snorted. "Look." She said "I don't quite think you understand how it works. I see things because my mind is reaching out and touching them, thats why I can move stuff around. I don't see colors or patterens." "I see, so you couldn't like, read a book or anything with your mind right?" Matthew asked putting down the cards. "Right" Lyris said finishing her sandwich.
They were silent for a little while as Matthew finished his sandwich and put away his cards. Lyris looked at the ground thinking about her ability. Matthew looked at her for a minute before speaking. " So can you like--" "Can we please get off the subject?" Lyris asked annoyed "Yes, but just one last question." Matthew said. Lyris grumbled "Okay." she said at last. "Alright, I've seen you make water move, how does that work?" He asked "How in hell should I know?" Lyris shouted "Well how do you do it?" He asked "I dont know I just twist it. I cant lift it very well so I just....move it." She said shrugging "Could you, say, crush a pop can?" Matthew asked leaning on the table. "I could use air to crush the can, but I couldn't pull the metal out of shape, it's to rigid." Lyris said standing up. Matthew stood up as well. "I see, so you could--" "I thougt yo said that was the last question." Lyris snapped. "Heh, ya sorry." Matthew said "Oh wow, look at the time. You have to get to work." Lyris shrugged "It's a short walk. I'll see you later."
She walked down the hill of the park where they had been sitting. Matthew was all ways like that; curious. She smiled as she walked out of the park and onto the sidewalk; Matthew, as annoying as he could be, was her best and only friend.
OOT: Ya so they live by the coast. >.> (although I didnt really mention it yet.) so It can be the east coast or the west coast I really don't care. Oh and tell me if you want me to explain Lyris's ability better, I have it all worked out. ^ ^

OOC: whoa this looks really good! I think I might join!.
IC: "Do you know whats wrong with it?" Lyris asked. "No, thats why I asked you to look at it" Matthew replied. Lyris looked over the computer. Although is was new it had stopped working a few days ago. She touched the computer and closed her eyes. As she did she reached out to everything around her. She felt inside the computer, moving around inside of it, almost like she could see inside. Quickly she found the problem, two wires had not been properly put in and had fallen out. Moving her had across the computer case she pulled the wires back into place. The computer turned on with a small noise and started up. Matthew sat down in frount of the computer "You are a miracle worker, you know that right?" He said smiling. Lyris smiled back "You tell me that every time I come here." She said. Lyris was thin with dark brown hair and grey eyes. She had a hard, serious face and only smiled for Matthew, her best friend sense forever. Matthew was tall and had muscular arms. His dark thick hair layed across his head and would never be tamed. He typed somethings into the computer and cheered. Rapidly he began to type, as he did so Lyris closed her eyes and reached out with her mind. She felt over the things in the room, closing her eyes tighter she slowly turned the sink in the room next to them on and let the water fall. She pulled at the water and twisted its shape making it look like a lizard. Carefuly she let all her attention pass on to the lizard. It jumped out of the sink and pushed the handle until the water turned off. It crawled up the wall, ever so carefully as if it might fall on a seconds notice. It slinked through the door frame and into the room where Lyris and Matthew were. It climbed down the wall and walked across the floor leaving little puddles as it went. Lyris was losing it. Concentrating harder lyris forced the water to roll back into the lizard as it made it's way across the floor. "Lyris. Lyris!" Matthew said looking at her. Lyris snapped her eyes open and the lizard fell into a large puddle on the floor. "Oh sorry." He said standing up. Reaching for a towel he said " I didnt see what you were doing just that it seemed hard." He mopped up the puddle and tossed the towel into the sink. Lyris said nothing, simply reviewing what had just happened. Matthew looked at her. "Have your powers changed again?" he asked quietly. "No." Lyris said " They haven't changed for quite a while. I think they finally stopped moving all over the place." Matthew looked at her with a smile. "So can you like read my mind?" He asked Lyris smiled "No, all I can do is move stuff." "Like what?" "Like......" Lyris picked up a book. "Like this." She said "Could you like tear it to shreds with your mind?" He asked with a grin "Well I suppose but, why?" She asked giving him a funny look. "No reason." He said "I just saw somthing on the news about your kinda stuff and I just wanted to know." Lyris put the book back down and said nothing, clearly in deep thought.

Lyze sat quietly looking at his hand as the other people argued over ethics. It didn’t please him that he was pale and would probably never tan well again but he was alive. They were all alive, given a second chance at life. Maybe that was a curse. There was no other alternate than to go out at try again. They had no where to go, and nothing to do other than give up or try and stop this disaster.
The scientist standing over him was trying to explain what they did to him over the noise the other people were making. Lyze wasn’t listening. He stared off at the blast doors that sealed off the lab. “Where’s my wrench?” He asked finally. The scientist paused. “It…may not have been recovered.” “Oh, okay.” He said getting up. “I’m gonna go get it. I’ll be right back.”
ooc: Lyze is just a little OCD. =3

Ooc: Dude, this sounds awesome.
Ic: Name: Lyze Code Name: Robin redbreast Abilities (2 max): Evasion( He avoids danger and the like by becoming translucent, which means things pass through him.) Courage( he gets short burst of adrenaline that let him move faster and jump higher, but only if he is the one that has to be brave. ) Age: 24 Gender: male Brief Personality: Lyze is a mechanic, not a fighter. He isn’t cowardly, his talent just lies in fixing machinery not breaking it. He’s easy to get along with and like to help out the only problem is all he can do is fix stuff. Appearance: He has a thin quick appearance. His short blondish hair has bleached to an almost white color and his once blue eyes are drained of pigment as well leaving an odd reddish tint to them. His skin is also a pale color making him look albino but not as frail. Weapon (If Any): his favorite wrench
Little Robin Redbreast sat upon a tree Up went a*****cat down went he Down came the*****cat and away Robin ran Says little Robin Redbreast “Catch me if you can.”
Lyze was still in a daze from his death experience. He stood up from the floor and took several steps forward to try and get his wits back. His head throbbed painfully making him stumble. “Sit down. Sit down!” someone shouted at him. He did what he was told and sat down on the floor squinting upward to try and see who he was looking at. “I thought good people were suppose to be greeted by beautiful angels when they went to heaven.” Lyze said grumpily. “Your not it heaven, your back on the space ship. Now hold still, you weren’t suppose to come out of your tube tell later.” “What tube?” Lyze asked running his hand along the back of his neck. “The one you just walked through.” It took a minute for it to register that what the scientist has said didn’t make sense. “What, what do you mean?” Lyze asked “Hold on, I’ll answer your questions in a sec.”

ooc: O__O you are amazing! I will!
Ic: Hayate was completely ignoring the two as he gazed blankly at the TV screen. One paw was hanging off the arm of the couch as the immages on the screen flickered to another angle. It was mind numbing a driving him crazy. Of all the things to do this was the most boring, but he couldnt open the heavy back door and so he was stuck with the TV and two hyper cats until someone was kind enough to let him out.
Hiyate sighed glancing at the cats before returning his attention to the flickering screen. "Need to run building..." he groaned.

I think this sounds like a lot of fun. I would join too but, ya no one else has. If you think it could work with just three people would could get this started and see if anyone else picks up on it. I have a couple of premade characters that would fit in here very nicely.
