[Kurt's also giving the simulation a good once over, a little cautiously, and wondering if maybe agreeing to this hadn't been the best idea ever] Uhh...as ready as I'll ever be.

[But he can't help but smile a bit as he enters the first room; this is an easy one for him]

Oh. Yeah, sure. What's up? [Casts a somewhat confused glance her way]

[queenwitha_j]

*Holly J wasn't showing much issue with the axes, and was moving past them at a good pace*

Well... it's- *she paused to let the axe in front of her swing, and sighed. Then moved past it and kept moving*

I've been avoiding you... since I found out that you're. I wanted to say I'm-

*If she paused because she was moving through axes, or because it's hard to say this word, is unclear* Sorry.

[thefuzzydude]

[Kurt could just teleport right to the end of the room, but that would be rude considering Holly J was trying to talk to him. He kept pace with her, 'porting along from one axe to the next, hanging from the arms they were swinging on]

O-oh [he looks surprised; definitely wasn't expecting her to go there just now]

Well, it's...alright [it isn't, really, but it does mean a lot that she's apologizing.] Just wondering...why have you been?

[queenwitha_j]

*She made it to the end of the room, and stopped at the door.*

It's your skin. Well, not really your skin. *Pause, sigh, breath*

I didn't want to make friends with someone and have to hide them...

[thefuzzydude]

[He stops next to her, listening to what she as to say. Ouch. He looks pretty crestfallen]

So you were...too embarrassed to be my friend?

[queenwitha_j]

*She looked insulted by that idea* No! I really like you, you're a great person. It's just- I-

*She took a deep breath* My parents don't- didn't know I was a mutant.

*She started into the next room. The door on the other side was closed, and looked heavy. Also the walls were slotted, and every few seconds an arrow (or five) shot from somewhere in the room.*

*She put the conversation out of her mind a moment to try to make a rush for the door, see if she could open it.*

sorry I fail :| work x.x

[thefuzzydude]

Wait--you mean like, not even when you cam to the school?

[he follows quickly after her, now wearing a pretty confused look]

It is fine!

[queenwitha_j]

It wasn't that hard, they didn't ask too much except the price. They really let me handle myself most of the time. *Holly J's voice said that wasn't something she liked*

However it would be hard to tell them about without mentioning some details. Like the nice shade of blue your hair is. *weak smile*

*Holly J was a bit too distracted by explaining herself. Or avoiding certain aspects of explaining herself. An arrow was heading right for her and she didn't see it.*

Re: It is fine!

[thefuzzydude]

Wow, Holly J I had no idea. I'm...really sorry.

[sheepish smile] Yeah, I guess I see where you're coming from there.

[eyes widened as he sees the arrow] Hey--look out! [no time, he grabs her and teleports them both to the end of the room]

[queenwitha_j]

It's really not that big a deal. I'm better off without them. *Yes, that sounded convincing. Holly J was definitely telling that to Kurt and not herself.*

Huh- *Oh hi teleporting. Weird sensation really.* Thanks. *She definitely doesn't look a bit awkward about the physical contact either... really, okay maybe a little.*

Maybe we should break from this conversation until there aren't anymore arrows flying around?

[thefuzzydude]

No problem. Sorry I didn't really warn you or anything--teleporting can feel a little weird the first time... [Oh yeah, definitely not awkward at all...but he should probably let go now huh? Right.]

[nervous chuckle] I'd say that's probably a good idea.

[queenwitha_j]

Yeah, just a little weird the first time. *What was that, is she blushing a little? Yes, yes she is.*

Well, since we're already at the door. *Holly J gives the door a once over, before lifting it open.* So... maybe the next room will be quiet and peaceful. Like the room with all the axes. *Not a statement she ever thought she'd make at school.*

[thefuzzydude]

[blush blush blush. Awkward throat clear and ok we're moving on now]

Oh yeah, that was really peaceful. And I'm sure this one's going to be like a walk in the park, right? [he's being sarcastic. In a nervous sort of way.]

[Steps into the room to find...nothing. Color him surprised.] Wow...and I was just kidding, too! Hey, what's that? [notices writing on the wall] It's in German! It says:

The man who invented it doesn't want it.
The man who bought it doesn't need it.
The man who needs it doesn't know it.
What is it?

Does a blushing Kurt turn purple?

[queenwitha_j]

Well, wishes are just horses today. *Something else to think about*

It's a riddle. *glances around the room* I never bothered to take time to do riddles, thought they were stupid and useless.

*Holly J sits down. At first she's just staring at the wall with the riddle. Then she looks down, something is bothering her, certainly.*

I...suppose so. Or maybe considering he has fur you wouldn't be able to see him blush anyway haha

[thefuzzydude]

Yeah, me neither. That sort of thing isn't really my strong suit. [stares at the words on the wall for a bit, trying to figure it out. But he's got nothing for now.]

[Doesn't fail to notice somethings up with her. He sits down behind her, giving her a worried look] Hey...What's the matter?

[queenwitha_j]

It's nothing! *I think 'sharp and defensive' covers how that sounded.*

*pause*

...Sorry. It's really nothing. *Yes, that's a lie. Obvious one too.*
