Finding a Room for Echo

[Scaleface]

((not open, because it seems when a topic is, a million people join lol))

Once they left the Living room, Scaleface let Tom go and they started down the hallway. She had a pretty good idea of where she was going, since she'd spent te better part of her first few days learning about every nook and cranny.

But now as they walked she stuffed her hands in her pockets and spoke; "So... why'd you run away?" she asked, her voice soft like it normally was.

"Well, its my parents. And don't get me wrong their great parents its just that they don't really see me as a mutant or a person." He paused for a second, "I grew up very normal, the only thing different about my family is that my little sister is deaf. And that wasn't much of a problem. They paid people to help her when she started school. Got me and my older brother to learn sign language to talk to her, but my brother really never got into it."
As they walked Echo peeked into the different rooms. "Me and my sister are really close, I once spent a Saturday, just me and her signing to each other. My parents just lived their lives not really giving her allot of attention, or none at all."
"When my mutation showed the they ended up just ignoring it. Unlike my sisters deafness. Even though they thought it was a worserer problem. I would have accidents, and my mom would just pretend they never happened. At dinner once I brought up me coming here to my parents. They said 'Don't worry it will go away.'"
Echo stopped, "It will go away. What kind of answer is that. But thats when I realized my parents just don't understand my problems. That night I packed my things and said goodbye to my sister. I've been wondering around for a couple days Intel I finally made it here."

Scaleface listened, nodding. So maybe never having parents wasn't a bad thing. Then again, she'd been through that; "Ain't the only one," she said, looking up from watching her feet. She thought about what she could say to that, and realized she could only be honest. "The orphanage I was at for a while, they pretended like these-" she pulled her lond hair back, revealing the scales over her temples; "-Were nothin'. Tried to get 'em removed, like moles," she let her hair go a she shook her head; "It was just ignorance. I wasn't gonna get adopted; they'd have me 'til I was eighteen. It was sad how they wouldn't admit it, that I was different. Kept forcin' me like I was just a normal kid. So... I ran, too," she shrugged.

"But here, here's different," she said; "People ain't got a choice but to realize you're different cuz they are too," she gave him a small smile then, a reassuring one.

Then, she stopped, having reached the Guests' wing of the Mansion. She nudged a door open with her bare foot, peeking in and finding it empty and void of personality. She sighed, walking in.

"Well, here's a room you could use," she said, looking at him; "I'm just down the hall, three doors but on the left, not the right. So... y'ain't alone," she shrugged again.

"I don't mean to be imposing but, want exactly is your gift. If you don't feel comfortable talking about it thats fine. My mutation is sound." He closes his eyes and makes a high pitched screeching sound only him and Bats can hear. "A type of radar sense is one," eyes still close, "for example, their is one lamp on the dresser, a box in the corner, and under the bead there is a book, and a sock that the previous inhabitant left." He opens his eyes and gives her a smile.

((remember, past tense!!! ))

"My mutation?" Scaleface asked, looking at him; "I turn into a giant lizard. I can breathe fire when I'm like that, too," she shrugged; "Ain't too pretty." she pulled out her hand, looking at her palms; "I don't mind it though..." flexing her fingers. she tucked hand back in her pocket and looked at Tom with her grey eyes. "So... I'll let you get situated. Like I said, I'm just down the hall if you need anything."

Giving him a small smile, she then started to leave.

Right before she left, "Hey. Thanks." Then fell asleep.
