*guh*

Cody is in an empty room using the sprinkler system to turn it into a pool. He’s mumbling to himself about how he’s bored and hasn’t died in a while.

 *He's gonna drown himself*

 *He doesn’t like drowning*

 *Hmm... whats the pool for then?..*

 *Swimming. Duh*

 *Aww, I wanted something more violent :-(*

 *unmmmmmmnmm… remind me never to go hunting with you*

 *Marshmallow can always make something more violent*

 Jack gives a tight smile. “Arrabella. That’s a nice name. I might just stick with that if you’re okay with it.” He glances at the boy. “You guys look similar. Siblings maybe?”

 "Yes, though it feels like we hardly know each other these days. He's got... uhh... some friendship problems. Some pretty serious friendship problems."

 "Interesting." Jack pauses for a moment. "so...anomalies. That's why we're here?"

 "Yep. Don't ask me why exactly we've got them though. Mine is that I can amplify my voice to ridiculous levels, Xavier can channel volts of electricity through his body. What about you?"

 "I'm not completely sure." Jack closes his eyes. "I got locked up in some simulation thing for most of my life -- I had no real control over my life. This place reminds me of the one before. Is there a way I could figure it out maybe?"

 She thinks. "Uh, I don't exactly know. Maybe just, like, experiment a little? Try to do something. I don't really know, honestly."

 Jack sits down and sighs. "Hm." He thinks through his life, trying to single out anything that might count towards this whole 'anomaly' business. "When I was in the simulation I managed to manipulate it in such a way where I could locate the whole big boss or whatever. I blinked and all of a sudden I was in the room with him. He was so shocked, now that I'm thinking about it. The next thing I remember happening is that I was knocked out and when I woke up I was told that was all part of the simulation and that it didn't actually happen. I'm starting to wonder if maybe that was a lie and I actually did teleport to him."

Jack scoffs. '"I dunno though. That simulation thing was pretty wacky."

 Arrabella gasps. "That's it! Your anomaly is that you can teleport to things that you think about!" She takes out of of her hair ribbons and tosses it behind Jack. "Think of that. Then try to locate it!"

 Excited, Jack nods. He closes his eyes and concentrates. i want to go to a kitchen. 

He waits a little bit longer, trying to envision a kitchen, but nothing happens. Jack frowns. "hm, maybe I need to be using some electronic device to do it?"

 Arrabella goes over to her room. It has a toaster, or what might have once been a toaster, in it.

 Jack takes the toaster in his hands and examines it. He closes his eyes and imagines a kitchen. The surface of the toaster, shiny, begins to shimmer and morph, the reflection of his face changing into a kitchen scene. He begins to lean forward until his head disappears into the toaster, the rest of his body following.  

Devin is in his favorite place… the gym (it’s guaranteed an automatic fight.) He’s still battered and bruised from his fight with Xavier.

Cody is in the vent system’s fan room, looking for a way to shut off the large fans.

A figure shifts from the shadows. An irregular tapping noise comes from their direction, like marbles being spilled across a metal surface.
