"No purrs. I didn't have to wear make-up, but I did have to dye my hair every two weeks, wear contacts basically twenty-four seven, always wear some sort of headwear to hide my ears, and sit on my tail. God, I swear I will never even look at a contact again, and my poor tail was so abused after even a few days of school, I could barely twitch it and it hurt." She said while listening to Huntin play. She picked up her piccolo and played a few lines of music that fit in well with it.

"Yeah, I got the hair dying, full body makeup, I wasn't supposed to talk a lot because of my tongue....youngin days weren't my favorite...." He hit a wrong key and flinched but continued on anyway. He listened happily as her piccalo accompanied.

"Three years ago my plant powers manifested. My grandparents, who were the ones who were overly strict about my mutant powers, kicked me out of their house and shipped me off to my dad's. Although I was almost drowned, I was much happier living with him. I kept dying my hair and hiding my ears, and I was able to hide my tail much easier by wrapping it around my waist." She said before picking back up in the music with her piccolo playing.

"I've had my powers since I was ten, seventeen now, so I pretty much have it mostly under control. Left home when I was about fourteen. Dropped out and everything...." He continued playing softly.

"I'm 16, although I'm pretty short for my age." Kat stood 4' 9" at the most. "I never had to drop out; my dad suggested it once, I refused. I love learning, that's the only reason I stayed, even though I got bullied almost every day. I guess you could call me a bookworm, or a nerd, because I love books and band." She asked quietly before fading out to nothing in her playing and sat her piccolo down in her lap.

"I am fifteen." Artemis added, his french accented voice smooth and sultry. He shoved the Cheetos back into Huntin's hands, bringing his knees to his chest and watching the two while licking his fingers. He was tiny, especially for a boy his age. Normally he was took for younger or sickly, with his deathly pale skin and pale blonde hair. "Cannot say I 'ave ever 'ad problems with skin color or ze such. And my parents were very... tolerant?" He said, pondering the correct use of the word, "When zey found out. I am very lucky."

Kat looked over to Artemis and looked him over. "Yeah, you're one of the lucky ones. What are your powers?" She asked lightly.

"I'msixteen.... and liquifiacation..... " She paused. "It's really annoying...." She added quickly. "Are you from France?" She asked Artemis. Looking over at him from her spot on the arm of the couch.

"Cool." Kat said while messing with her beret. She fixed it to where it was almost covering both of her ears, but was still tilted to one side. "Do you know how to play an instrument?"

"Cool. I learned how to play soprano sax, flute, piccolo, keyboard, and drums. " Kat said while messing with the black trench-coat she was wearing.

"Musical eenstruments 'ave little value to mutants een today's world..." Artemis said non-chalantly, stealing a Cheeto, "What eez valuable eez the ability to fight. Playing an eenstrument, zough very admirable, eez useless when a Sentenial comes knocking..." He shrugged, popping the Cheeto into his mouth. "And, oui, I am from France. How did you guess?" A bit of the boy's old sarcasam hinted in his voice.

"Actually, playing an instrument is very useful. It gives us something to do to relax and, I can control my plants by playing my piccolo." She said before getting a seed from her trench-coat inside pocket and placing it on the ground. She picked her piccolo up from her lap, and started playing "Stars and Stripes Forever" a fast-paced song. The seed started to grow slowly, but in a minute it was a full sized geranium. As she neared the end of the song, Kat made the plant reverse its growth process, and it was back in seed form by the end of the song. "I love doing that."

Artemis snorted in laughter. "Yes, but would you really carry around an eenstrument with you everywhere? And what eef eet were to get destroyed by an enemy, or you run out of seeds? What eef your abilities were rendered useless by an opponent? Zen what would you do?" He c.ocked an eyebrow, "Could you protect yourself or your comrades een close combat?"

Kat looked at her piccolo before glancing at Artemis. "If it got destroyed, I would just use my hands to control my plants. I virtuaye can't run out of seeds, because there are roots everywhere underground, I could just call up one and use that. If we're high up in a building, I could just use another one of my plants or resort to my cat abilities. That is if I don't go crazy from seeing my piccolo destroyed, of course." She answered with a small Spanish accent, she pronounced double L's with a 'y' sound. "I have been trained in some martial arts, though I'm not all that great. But I can use my size to my advantage." Kat was starting to get a little angry with Artemis's tone. She glared at him a moment before she realized what she had said. She blushed a bit before appologizing. "Sorry about that. I'm normally not that outspoken."

River smiled, she'd been silent and looking at her hands as she changed them from water to human. She gave a sigh and shook her head lightly. "Music calms people and it makes you good with your hands..." She said looking up from under a few strands of her red hair that were over her eyes.

Artemis snorted again. "Unless you can hit an opponent over the head with it, musical instruments are useless in battle. And," He added, standing, "Being good with your hands doesn't help either if you haven't been trained to use them."

"Well.... I bet you haven't been trained to be annoying and yet.... You are!" She siad with a sweet smile. Tilting her head to the side, daring him to do some thing about what she just said.

Kat chuckled at River's reply to Artemis. She was eager to see what he would say next.
