It was the beginning of a new year at the Genetically Evolved Adolescent Academy, students were buzzing about campus as they searched out their new dorms and roommates or determined where their classes were.
Anita Tolkien stood conversing with several of the other staff members as they came and went, observing the new students as well as the familiar faces from years prior. She always enjoyed determining how much of a challenge each child would be based on their appearance, and she was almost always correct.
Daniel Masters, the teacher of Basics of Ability Control, as well as the Representative of Teachers, stood with her. Appearing far less confident or self-assured, despite standing half a foot taller than her, the two were discussing several of the students they remembered from last year.

Kano and Kenji were among the kids. His age gave the false impression that he and his brother were among the students. The only difference is that they didn't look like they were exploring like the new students; they knew where everything was, and knew where they had to be and when. Kano had a consistent smile on his face, a soft one that looked almost tired, unlike a beaming face. Kenji looked concentrated and somehow cold, clicking some buttons on a device that looked similar to some kind of game program, though it was far from it.
"What're you scanning?" Kano asked his brother. His brother merely turned the screen to him, and he read it, they said nothing more to each other.

Elly stood silently off to the side. his gaze was focused down towards his feet. He didn't wear shoes.. at all. Green eyes looked almost said, but large blue and green bangs hid most of his face. His left arm was hid behind him, and he was leaned onto it slightly, up against a tree. It twitched slightly, before it soon rose up, and seemed to look around on it's own.
Elly shot his head up that instant, and pulled it back behind him. Sighing, he studied the area for a moment, maybe he could get lucky and just get straight to his class without much talking, or gawking at that arm of his like normal kids did at the foster home. Rolling his eyes to himself as if he annoyed himself.
Getting off the tree, he started to walk through the crowd, avoiding bumping into anyone or talking, his hand was constantly twitching and turning the whole while.

Anita spotted the two twins as they walked amongst the crowd, recognizing them from their profiles used when hiring them, as well as the initial interviews. "Ah, Kano, Kenji!" she called over to them, attracting the attention of many students who were grateful it wasn't them she was calling on. She glanced to Daniel who was standing beside her, "These are the new teacher assistants I told you about."
Daniel nodded his head in understanding with a small, pleased smiled, "Oh, wonderful.." he spoke softly, but still loud enough to be heard. As Anita attracted the twins' attention, the young teacher glanced around at the students around them. He took notice of one boy with elaborately colored hair and an oddly disassociated arm...His right arm seemed to pulse as he saw the boy, clenching his fingers that were covered in a black glove. 'He's like us..'' the voice hissed in his mind, and while that fact intrigued the teacher, he was long since used to ignoring the demonic presence within him.

Kano blinked and stopped, looking around before he spotted the headmaster, smiling and nudging his brother, "Arigato, Anita-chan. Need anything?" He asked smoothly as he walked over. He sounded oddly tired, perhaps didn't get used to different time schedules too well.
Kenji didn't look up at all. He merely walked over and lowered down his small analyzer. His gaze was slightly off to the side, and his icy blue eyes gave the distinct impression that he may be blind, which wasn't the case at all.

Elly kept walking, his head had directed it self to his feet, he had a habit of staring at his feet while he walked. His arm twitched again, and soon rose up, nearly jerking Elly along. The boy squeaked, then planted his heels into the ground, and grabbed his arm, putting it back down. He looked around, almost pathetically, hoping no one saw.

Daniel observed Elly's tormented attempt at walking carefully, able to tell just how much trouble he was having with his arm. He could relate to that. Anita smiled to the twins as they came over, not too phased by Kenji's lack of social skills since she was more than used to dealing with all types of characters. "Hi boys, I just wanted to introduce you to.." she trailed off as Daniel walked away from them without a word, seemingly distracted with something else, "....Daniel Masters." She sighed, shaking her head and glancing back to the twins, "Don't mind him, he does that sometimes. But he's the Teacher Representative, so if you ever have any issues you'd like resolved you can go to him if I'm not readily available." she explained, "Are you two settling in okay?'
Meanwhile, Daniel made his way over to Elly, never the best at starting up a conversation, but made his best attempt. He was always better with students than those his own age. "Excuse me.." he began, not speaking very loudly, "Are you alright?"

Kano blinked when the male walked away... Well, that was strange. He hesitated in calling it rude, watching a bit as he was talking to a rather desperate looking kid. He didn't judge, figuring that something may have happened. He knew Kenji didn't care.
"Its fine. And yes, we are settling in fine. You're campess is very charming." He said, easily mixing politeness with honesty. He knew the school couldn't be too old, yet the campess looked like new. Kenji didn't seem to move much at all.

Elly held his arm down, seeing no one was making a big deal out of it, he just wanted to go find his dorm. Then he heard the male, glancing over, he blinked a few times, looking uncomfortable.
"..Hi.." He mumbled quietly, his arm twitched again, then tried to grab at Dan's demonic arm, but Elly stopped it, and stepped back, looking down. "I'm sorry.." He said quietly. He was naturally soft-toned in speech.

"We strive to maintain a certain level of effectiveness and comfort here on campus." Anita explained, as if she were in an infomercial or something. She glanced curiously toward Kenji, but wasn't going to call him out, she figured he just wasn't very talkative. "I'm excited to have you two here, especially after everything I hear you've done. Very impressive."
Daniel was not entirely surprised by Elly's behavior, relating to the inability of control from his own experienced. He was surprised by the fact that this boy seemed to have a similar ability as him, though, and that intrigued him very much. "It's alright...my name is Daniel Masters, I'm a teacher here. Would you like to go sit and discuss...this?" he offered, referring to the boy's arm.

Kano nodded, smiling, and he soon rubbed the back of his head, "Thank you, but some things can be over exaggerated..." He explained simply, soon diverting the subject, "When was this school built? I find it fairly fascinating." Kenji had moved finally, looking over to his brother, giving a look that would appear strange to others, but Kano merely shrugged at him, so he turned and left his brother to talk.

Elly stared up at him, then blinked. His head tilted to the side curiously, why did he seem to both so much with his troublesome arm? Glancing down, he wasn't sure how to answer his question, but his arm seemed to answer him, since it was constantly tugging towards him.
"Um... Yeah.. sure.."

Anita was somewhat surprised by the sudden topic change but didn't hover on that feeling, she knew plenty of people who weren't interested in speaking about themselves, herself included. She glanced around them at the beautiful campus as he mentioned it, "1967, so it's been around a little while, but it's young by British standards." she explained with a teasing smile, looking back to the twins, "We update the facilities every summer to keep things in working order. Are you interested in architecture?"
Daniel nodded his head a little before briefly glancing around them, spotting a picnic table near a small gathering of trees that was unoccupied, "This way." He told Elly, leading him over to the table and offering for him to sit down, taking a seat opposite him, "Your arm isn't normal, is it?" he decided to get straight to the point, it was why Elly was at GEAA after all.

Kano tilted his head, "1964 huh?" He mumbled, seeming to wonder on that, "Its well taken care of then... Well my brother is but..." He mumbled, trailing off as his brother simply left them, walking to another building that he assumed was where the classrooms were in, "Well he's a bit difficult."

Elly followed him, still holding his arm down, which was starting to get more difficult as it struggled. When he sat down, he was a little shocked he dragged on straight towards it. He never liked to admit it when he was talking about his arm. He exhaled deeply, and nodded.
"No.. It's not, though.. kinda obvious." He mumbled quietly, letting the arm lay it's self over the table, making grabbing motion for Dan.
