Something Spooky This Way Comes (Open to all at Xavier's)

[hauntingyou]

It had been a long journey, but finally, she was here. She wasn't tired, exactly, she wasn't sure she could get tired now, at least not in the same way as before. But, she was mentally weary and glad to have reached her destination.

She passed through the metal gates protecting the entrance and paused to admire the random and colorful pattern that appeared on the monitor embedded into one of the posts. She stuck an intangible finger through the screen and dragged it around, watching the pixels swirl and follow. It was pretty. Much prettier than the considerably lower tech ATM she was playing with... when was that? It was so easy to lose track of time, now. That ATM had bleeped and blooped and spat out a snowstorm of twenty dollar bills. Pity she couldn't use them now, or even touch them, but it was fun to watch the crowd of people scrambling for them.

She drifted away. The monitor flickered and flashed, then displayed a rebooting sequence. She moved further in to the mansion grounds, invisible and intangible. There were people here. Maybe she could make one of them see her.

Bobbi felt a cold chill, which was weird since she was one of the coldest in the school.

"Professor Drake, I really don't think that freezing up the library would be a good prank. Rachel would be pissed at the water damage." She turned looking for the other Cryokenetic...

And nothing there...

"Okay?" She went back the way she came trying to find Bobby, or whatever caused the chill. Setting her books on a table she decided to have her hands free just in case. "I'm warning you Professor I can drop lower than you and I don't like it when someone tries to scare me."

I'm not trying to scare anyone! Is what Julia thought to herself, but what came out was a faint, echoing sound. Like this:

"Ooooooooooowooooooo"

Yeah. Ok. That wasn't helping.

[iced_cherub]

She heard the noise and tensed a moment. "Okay even Professor Drake isn't that lame for scaring people. Where are you?" She's thinking it's one of the new students playing a trick on the little innocent angel.

She walks into the book stacks.

[hauntingyou]

Ok. She needed to try and NOT think, because that wasn't working too well so far.

Don't think, Julia... don't think, Julia... dammit, my head is killing me...

And what came out was:

"Doooooooon't.... oooooooleeeeee.... ooooooooooleeeee.... kiiiiiiiiiiill"

Shit.

[iced_cherub]

Yeah disembodied voice... Bobbi stood perfectly still.

"Okay I know threatening to kill is totally not allowed on school grounds." Though she was trembling slightly. "Where are you? Show yourself."

I can handle this... I can handle this.... Don't run away Bobbi, don't run away...

[hauntingyou]

Show myself? I wish! This is so frustrating. Aargh!

"AaaaaaAAAAAAAArrrrrrrrRRRRRrRrgh-h-h-h-h-h-h"

Shit. Times two.

[iced_cherub]

Yeah, that yell... you have a four year old running for the doors thanks.
