[IC] Decisions decisions...

[Johnny Blair]

"I..." Her eyes flick between Interface and the rest of the gathered students. Then she looks down, seeming ashamed. "I'd just as soon sit this out. I can't bring myself to face Jack, right now."

Suddenly, darkness spreads from her hairline back, her skin gains a pale greyish cast, and her clothes become black. In fact, there is abruptly a completely different girl in front of them. "Chill, goldfish. You sit back. I got this one."

She looks at the assembled kids, her gaze stopping on John. "Hi. I'm Gloom, for those who haven't had the pleasure..."

Interface: The constant hum of voices from the mindlink suddenly stop, though you still feel the link, and Aurum behind it... She had mentioned that it's actually quiet when she's inside Gloom.

John raises an eyebrow at that.  Definitely very interesting.  Something weird about that transformation...wasn't that girl all ghostly just a few minutes before?  Something about this new girl is...kinda hot.  When 'Gloom' focuses her gaze on John, he pales slightly as he suddenly realizes he's wearing a goofy grin while looking at her.  Crap!  Telepath!  He looks away for a moment, trying to clear his head, before turning back and seeing her gaze still locked onto his eyes.  Ahh!  He turns away again, averting his gaze once more.

James had hung back from the group, not knowing what else to do.  He still didn't know where his room was.  Then the other kids started talking about sewers and looking for Jack.  Maybe he could help but the Professor did tell them it wasn't safe, that others were looking into all this.  Then....

~The beautiful girl just transformed into a beautiful girl.~
"Whoa."

John manages to look directly at James, who seems just as riveted to Gloom as he was.  He nods thoughtfully.  Yeah dude...definitely.
