He watched with mild amusement as she tucked the wand away. "Magic?" Of course he had a bit of his natural playful tone, but there was an underlying seriousness about it. To him, magic was real. But that's because people with mutant abilities could be considered magical. Though, he wasn't in any rush to see just what exactly she could do with that thing, save for maybe pulling a rabbit out of a hat.
Shifting to move again, he rested against the opposing arm of the couch. An inward grin tugged at the corners of his lips as he just barely caught her hues scanning over him. He would have returned the gesture but he had gotten quite the eyeful open her entering. No need to make her feel like he was checking her out. That was the last thing he needed. First impressions gone wrong were something Brennan chose to avoid at all costs.
Well. If he wasn't going to be the only one in this lounge he might as well try to strike up a conversation. Maybe get the layout and the cliff-notes version of why he was brought here. "So, exactly what is this place, and how, no, more so why am I here?" He trailed off as brown eyes flickered to the television set for half a second before returning their soft gaze to the woman next to him.

To his question, she tilted her head. "Mm. Why you are 'ere would depend on what you can do? Most people 'ere 'ave some talent or another - they are witches or wizards like myself, or they 'ave some other sort of magic or elemental control. Some are ..." she hesitated as she tried to recall the word. "Mutants?" She thought that was it. "And some are simply your average human with no extraordinary talent at all ... these tend to be catalysts for one of the more powered individuals. I am not exactly sure what they mean by that, so I could not explain it," she admitted - in case he'd intended to follow up with an inquiry about it.
"As far as what this place is, we are trapped within a bubble that exists outside of space and time. I am not sure 'ow that works, but we 'ave been assured that when we return to our own realities when it is over, we will not 'ave lost any time there, or gone missing or anything like that." She paused, then grinned a little. "So what can you do? Are you a catalyst or do you 'ave some powers?"

He rolled his against the pad of his thumb before once again returning his attention to the...witch
"So, while we're here, we don't lose any time in the realm from which we came.." He trailed off being that it wasn't an actual question, more along the lines of reiterating it for better understanding of what was being explained to him. Well, that means if Shal isn't here, and I manage to get some answers and possibly a location on her and the others; when I get back, I won't have lost any time. Excellent. That alone caused his features to ease, brow un-furrowing.
"I'm what's called a genetically engineered superhuman, or more accordingly, a New Mutant. I'm an Electrical Elemental." For more theatrical use, he held his hand out in front of him, and allowed small Tesla coils emerge from his fingertips before closing his fist to disperse the currents. "I can light people up like Christmas tree's." With that he blew a small puff of air into his fist to make a small cloud of electrical dust particle's hover in the air before them. Typical Brennan Mulwray. He just had to show off.

But Dani supposed she was biased; she happened to be from one of the futures a certain witch was trying to alter. Granted, Dani didn't really think her family would be at all affected, but she didn't like the idea either way.
"Electrical," she echoed, her head canting. That was new. "We 'ave ice and fire and we 'ave an earth elementalist 'ere. But this is the first I 'ave seen of electrical," she admitted as she watched the dust floating about. "It is useful, non?"
Reply
So, there was ice, fire, and earth. None of those fit the descriptions of his friends, which almost made him frown though he managed to shrug it off for the most part. He wasn't going to let him get his mood down. Not yet at least. It was bad enough each night he spent a few hours calling into his Comm ring, just for the slight chance he'd hear a familiar voice chime in. No such luck, he's been doing that every night for nearly three months now, and still no avail.
"So this letter, that was in my room, mentioned something about a struggle. That we're aiding the side of Order and Light..." He trailed off, piecing everything together, that if others like him were brought here rather than requested there was some sort of altercation thing going on. "..I'm guessing it's a good versus evil kind of...struggle?" He didn't really need an answer, he was smart enough to put it all together in his head. Though, again, hearing it from another person did help.

She tilted her head slightly. "'ave you gone to check in yet?" Though she wondered if that was as important any more since they had a psychic checking new people. Or so she'd heard, but hadn't the psychic been distracted once and that was why people had to check in?
Well, she wasn't going to worry too much about it. If he was a spy, he was a very good one. Or a very bad one, since he'd told her about his powers. He did seem properly confused though, so Dani nodded to the conclusion she'd drawn.
Reply
His head tipped, another look of confusion washed over his features as she mentioned the checking in bit. "...check in?" Was he aware that he was supposed to do that? Probably. Did he remember? Obviously not. "Mind telling me where, and point in the direction of which I need to head, to do so?" He'd probably end up getting lost since they were new surroundings, but hey, what better way to learn where everything is.
Running his hands through his hair, he slowly started to make sense of the place. Not that it was very much sense, but it was getting there. Though maybe this checking in thing would make it even easier. Hell if he knew. But if they needed his ability, then well as long as it were for the good side of things he figured helping out couldn't be to bad.

"I could take you, if you were inclined?" Danielle offered. "If you wanted an escort, I mean. I do not believe it takes long," she continued with a little smile. "When I checked in, as soon as she discovered I was a 'ealer, I was sent down to the medlab to 'elp out. But I arrived on a day when some of the people 'ere 'ad been kidnapped to the other side. Some of them were in bad shape."
Reply
Brennan offered a small smile as she offered to take him to where he needed to go. Perhaps that would be best. Albeit wandering around did make you learn your way quicker, perhaps it wasn't in his best interest to do that just yet, at least not while he was this new. He didn't need people firing anything at him. Not at this given moment.
"..I'd appreciate that.." A low chuckle left his throat as he pushed himself into a standing position once more. Hands instinctively slipped into his front pockets as he cast a small glance in her direction. "After you, ma'am.." Was he usually this formal? Hell no. Maybe it was just his humorous side trying to poke through again.

Chuckling softly, Dani started out of the lounge. She was a little amused by the ma'am, and she thought about pointing out that his American was showing ... but there were a fair few Yanks here, so she let it go.
Outside of the lounge, she gestured toward the door to the pool. "We 'ave a swimming pool there. It is fairly new. I believe there are some 'ot tubs and another games room off to the side as well," she murmured before she pivoted to point down the hallway. "The cafeteria is there." Since those were the only two landmarks of interest in the dorms - besides the lounge, which he'd already seen - Dani continued outside.
Stepping onto the lawn, she pointed off toward the business district. "There are shop and restaurants there, if you need clothing or supplies, or do not feel like the cafeteria." Flashing him a smile to see if he was keeping up, Dani gestured him to follow as she started off toward the town hall.
Reply
Following her was like when he was given the tour of Sanctuary, granted there really wasn't a whole lot to his old home, but it still felt the same. That was enough to give him that small warm and fuzzy feeling on the inside. Dark brown orbs would glance in the direction of which she pointed, clothing did sound good. Though he could just as easily make do with what was provided back in his room.
Bren flashed a smile of his own back to her as he easily kept in stride with her. Longer legs were often an advantage when trying to keep up. "..Hey..thanks for showing me around and such. I owe ya', better than wandering around like an aimless lost idiot." He nodded to this. The last thing he needed was to end up wandering into the wrong part of town. That could either lead to something rather entertaining and interesting, or something detrimental to his health.
Reply
There'd been enough of that, and several of those sorts were still in couples, so she supposed it wasn't all bad. But he'd figure it out over time. Unless he asked to go home - but so far, not a lot of people had. Or so she'd heard.
Dani smiled lightly to him as she continued across the grass toward the town hall.
Reply
Now, not only did he have to be somewhat weary, well no, he didn't need to be weary of people anymore if they were that friendly. Instead, he just had to be on the look out for people hooking up anywhere and everywhere. Perhaps he should look into getting a digital camera, or recorder. He could make a pretty penny on some amateur adult content. Of course as long as they gave him the copyrights. Hey, public places are freebie's in his book.
He quickly shoved that thought from his mind. He wasn't in the porn industry and he planned to leave it that way. With a inward smile, Brennan just continued to follow Danielle along the grass. Coming out of his little shell was providing to be much easier than expected. Shocking himself to say the absolute least.

She continued to walk along the stretch of grass before she pointed him toward the town hall. "I will wait out 'ere, unless you want me to come inside?" she offered to him with a little smile. "The woman in charge, she can be a bit scary at times, but she is all right."
Reply
Again he followed into the direction of which she3 pointed. "Ah. There it is." Not like he was expecting it to be a different building, he just had a habit of stating the blatantly obvious. "Scary, huh? I like scary." He flashed a playful grin before he headed off in that direction; he didn't get to far before pausing. "I don't mind you coming along, it'd keep things interesting that's for sure." A low chuckle was given as he resumed towards the Town Hall, almost half wishing she'd tag along. Though it's not like he'd be heartbroken if she didn't.

The town hall actually looked as though it may have, at one point, been a residence of sorts. Three short steps lead to the door. Inside the foyer was a desk tucked into an alcove, and hallways branching in two directions. A stairway was set directly across from the door. A small sign bearing an arrow pointing up the stairs had the word 'office' in several languages - or one might assume, if one did not know all said languages.
