Watching as the coffeepot slowly dripped it's way to completion, Anna was seated on the ounter, black-painted nails tapping against the countertop absently in no particular rythm.
It was almost done. Finally.
She'd been intent on having coffee since being awakened early this morning, by some random spirit that thought she seemed like a friend. She wasn't, and she wouldn't be, and she'd brushed it off, like she always did.
The coffeepot sputtered, and she smiled, hopping off the counter to go get herself a mug. Returning with one, she poured coffee into it, and added sugar, stirring it in absently, as her eyes shiftd to the doorway.
Someone was nearing. She could feel another mind coming closer, though that didn't mean she heard their thoughts - her mind blocks were still in place, but the presence could still slip through.

Jubilee walked into the kitchen, her mp4 player playing "Rooftops" by Lostprophets at full volume, she walked straight to the fridge and took out a small bottle of water. She took a long sip before putting the lid back on, she then danced round the kitchen, using the bottle as a microphone "Screeeeeeaaaam youre heaaaaaaart out!" She was oblivious to Anna, hadn't seen her when she walked in, she was in a musically-induced trance. She then bumped into Anna and realised that there was another person in the room. Jubilee took the earphones out and turned a very dark shade of red. "Erm... hi, I'm Jubilee, its nice to, erm... meet you." She estended her hand, and looked at the ground as her face turned the colour of beetroot.
Typical Jubilee, she gives of the first impression of a schizophrenic bipolar, way to go, she thought to herself, another person thinks youre crazy!

As the mind entered the room, Anna could tell she was unaware of her presence. She moved straight to the fridge, got a drink, and used said drink as a microphone, belting out a line from a song, before even relizing the girl stood there - and that only because she stepped into Anna.
"Erm... hi, I'm Jubilee, its nice to, erm... meet you."
The girl extended a hand, obviously embarassed. Anna smiled, shaking the other girl's hand.
"Hi. 'M Anna." she responded. "Ah take it y'really like y'music..?"
With a smirk over her mug of coffee (which, she was grateful hadn't spilled when she'd been bumped against), she took a drink from it.

Jubilee burst out laughing and sat down on one of the stools, "Well... Yeah, what teenager doesn't?" She took another sip of her water. "So, I guess you're kinda new here, right?" Jubilee tried to change the subject, the bright neon red on her face beginning to fade.
Jubilee, looked at the girl, she was failry pretty, she looked like she'd be popular with most of the boys round here, she watched the girl's body language, trying to get a sense of who she was, the girl was very skinny, Jubilee envied her, the way she held herself, and the way she held her cofee mug, it indicated that she was somewhat codependant, how un-Jubilee like of her, to be pyscho analyzing someone, she made a mental note to have a giggle about that later.
"So..." she said, twirling a few hair like strands of coloured energy between her fingers, "What's your power then?"

"Well... Yeah, what teenager doesn't?"
"Point thare." she responded with a smile. She liked her music - it drowned out the voices she heard at all hours of the night, even though they were in her head, and the headphones only blared into her ears. It was the only thing that really worked.
"So, I guess you're kinda new here, right?"
"Kin'a. Ah w's here a year o'wo ago - but Ah lef', got "cured", recov'red, an' came back. Ah'm jus' not aroun' people much." she shrugged slightly, and took another drink from her mug.
"So..." [Jubilee] said, twirling a few hair like strands of coloured energy between her fingers, "What's your power then?"
"Telepathy. S'kin'a...differen', though. Talkin' t'dead people's part'a it. An' Ah c'n turn int'a...some kin'a ghost-thing."
Yeah, okay, so her descripton of her powers needed work - she didn't really do it often. But it made some semblance of sense, so it was okay, she reasoned.
"An' Ah take it tha's got t'do with y'rs?" she asked, motioning to the colors weaving their way between the girl's fingers.

Jubilee looked at her, another person srewed over by the so called cure.
Ah w's here a year o'wo ago - but Ah lef', got "cured", recov'red, an' came back. Ah'm jus' not aroun' people much
"Well, I try to be kinda sociable and whatnot, but sometimes, i just wanna be alone. I've kinda changed alot in the last few months, but I try not to let anyone see... It's easier when you can get through you're own shit without everyone watching. D'ya know what i mean?"
"Telepathy. S'kin'a...differen', though. Talkin' t'dead people's part'a it. An' Ah c'n turn int'a...some kin'a ghost-thing."
"Cool, does that mean that you can walk through walls and stuff? We have a girl here who can walk through things, her name's Kitty, you should talk to her sometime."
"An' Ah take it tha's got t'do with y'rs?" she asked, motioning to the colors weaving their way between the girl's fingers.
Jubilee stretched out the strands of energy and let go of them, she made them twirl around in the air, they twirled round the kitchen and then dissapeared. "Yeah, i can create this multi-coloured energy, i like to call 'em fireworks, cause i can make 'em go boom. Well, i can make the fireworks do alot of stuff, the boom is just one of those things. I can make a pretty light show..." A small group of sparklers appeared behind her, "I can shape them too..." the sparklers melted into each other and formed a giant X, "Or i can just make bright flashes..." The X exploded, it was just a flash of light, well, more like a strobe light. She giggled, she loved showing off her powers.

"Mhm." Anna nodded slightly, "Makes perfec' sense t'meh."
She hadn't changed uch in awhile, not since her powers returned, but she still knew the feeling well. Heck, even now she tended to try to get to be alone more often than not, just so she didn't feel others' minds around, or hear dead thoughts.
"Cool, does that mean that you can walk through walls and stuff? We have a girl here who can walk through things, her name's Kitty, you should talk to her sometime."
"Yeah, Ah can' touch nothin' - everythin' goes through meh, like th' "ghosts" they show, in movies, o'TV shows... Ah c'n fly, like tha', too..." She gave a small grin. Flying was one of the best parts of her powers. Even though she always felt freakishly tired and drained afterwards, she loved it.
Watching and listening to the display put on by the girl, she kept the smile on her face. The power was unique from any others she'd yet seen, and had practical uses, yet was fairly novelty at the same time, with the color and general fireworks-ness of them.
"Nice. Play with 'em a lot when ya're bored? Ah would, Ah think." she said, then took another drink from her mug.
