001 - Oli's first dance [Action]

[There is a guy sitting in the middle of the quad. He looks incredibly happy to be there and he's not hiding it. He's got his legs crossed, a can of soda in his hands and he's smiling to himself.

He hums a tune as he pours the rest of his soda into his mouth, swishes it around before swallowing. With his continued beaming, he crushes the can in his fist and throws it diagonally cut across the entire quad, before it bounces off of one of the walls and lands into the trash can.

He pumps his fist before standing up, If you saw him standing, you may see a fairly faint trail of sparkles. If you watch him walk towards the cafeteria, with a particular spring in his step, you may notice some definite glittery sparkles as he half-skips to the door.]

[Arches an eyebrow and tilts his head curiously. No one sparkles around here, except him. This is intriguing.]

Yeeeeeeeees?

[He turns to face you with slightly exaggerated movement.]

Can I help you?

[Waves a hand.]

Nope.

[He wasn't staring damn it! OH WAIT.] You always do that, or just when drinking? [Gestures vaguely to the sparkles with a small trail of his own. Marco's are all BLUE though.]

Not always.

[He looks you up and down after the sparkle show.]

How odd. I've never met anyone that could do that quite as well as me. But no, I don't do it when I've been drinking. It's... a talent of mine.

[Evasive instructor is evasive.]

Likewise mate. [Grins and doesn't explain it either.]

Although I usually save it for special occasions.

[Or when he just can't stop it. WHICHEVER.]

I don't think I'm supposed to let students call me mate.

[He grins]

Instructor Westcliffe if there are other instructors around. If not, Oli. Now. Tell me about these special occasions.

[Waves a hand. Whatever. Getting Marco to show any signs of respect is rare and on a has to be earned basis. Although it's amazing this doesn't get him dragged in front of the Headmaster.]

Ah you know. Parties and the like.

[Except not really.]

See, that might work on people that don't have any inkling of what the pretty sparkles can do, but for people who can be sparkly themselves it doesn't quite cut it.

[He sits down on the nearest slightly flat surface. He starts to stroke the grass.]

I'm guessing you use them for the parties that turn sour?

[Nope. See, now you've lost him. Marco's sparkles are a byproduct of being a phoenix. So after a brief pause when he tries to figure this out...]

Not exactly. [Holds up a handful of blue flames, with some of the sparkles inside and on the edges.] They're "down," eh?

[Trying to figure out if someone else is a phoenix by assuming they are and thus would know what you're talking about by using such psuedo-code words is probably not the most practical of methods.]

Hmmmmmn. Not what I was expecting.

[Where his hands have been on the grass, the grass has lost it's colour and looks wilted. Oli's skin is glistening rather brightly. He puts one hand on the bench and lifts it effortlessly. No effort. Like he just picked up a gum wrapper.]

So... don't be offended by my question, But are you a mutant by any chance?

Mutant?

[Amused glance, and shakes his head.] Devil fruit user. It's something from my world, no one else here ever seems to have heard of it.

[Relaxes in the grass like it's perfectly normal to have this sort of conversation with a guy who sucks the life from plants.]

Huh. Well. That's a new one.

[He puts the bench down and hops back up to where he was sitting.]

I'm a mutant. Not many people have heard of that either. Other than the whole scientific thing. They've never met someone with the X-Gene. Like me.

"X-Gene?" [Tilts his head a little at a loss again.]

Ah, so your sparkles aren't -- eh, healing related?

They can be. My power lets me absorb energy from living things and use it to heal myself, increase my strength, agility, dexterity. And it looks awesome too.

[He puts his hand back on the grass. The grass looks a little less wilted now. He puts on an uncanny sounding Professor Xavier, not that Marco would know who that is.]

The X-Gene is a gene found in select few individuals. This gene is responsible for the ability you have. Ahh yes, We know about your ability. Rest assured that your secret is safe with us. The X-Gene is a mutated gene which is unique to everyone it evolves within. Each ability produced by the X-gene is unique. Blah Blah Blah.

Absorb? Definitely different.

[Stares at for a moment.] Mate, [Yup, using that term after just being told not to.] I'm pretty sure you don't know my ability. Devil fruits are unique too, but they come with a curse, and ah, never mind, eh?

Nah. Having the ability to throw cars has pretty much outweighed any negativity. And a Curse? Ouch.

[Yeah... he's ignoring the mate thing. He's just going to stand up again.]

Most of us come side-effect free. Only person I know that doesn't is Rogue. She can't touch anyone cause she'll absorb their memories and if they have powers, powers.

What, automatically? She can't control it at all?

Nope. It's sad really...

[He looks down then springs up on his feet.]

I kind of get it. Before I could control my power, anyone I touch would wither. I could feel it. It was creepy.

Huh. Usually only logia users have that kind of problem in my world. Ace did at first, but he got it under control eventually.

Mostly. [There's a sad distant look for a bit.]

Ace a friend of yours?

[He offered gently. He knew sensitive topics all right.]

Yeah. My best friend. It's been awhile since I've seen him though. And I've all but given up hope of it happening again.

Well this world is like an upside-down banana cake right now. Never know what could get chucked out of the freaked up time and dimensions.

[He offers a smile.]

But hey. You could also get fire breathing dinosaurs with a taste for things that sparkle.

Isn't that what T-Rexaurs are for?

Possibly. But hey, I think those things are more fun than what I described.

They're supposedly tasty if not really my thing.

Tasty? People cook them? That's totally disgusting.

[Shrugs.] You'll find people who will eat anything really.

[

[Catching the reflection in the water he nearly b'awwws aloud. But instead, he allows her to follow him before stopping abruptly, doing a handstand, and pulling a funny face at her through his arms.]

'Ello there.

[]

...hi! I saw you sparkling, so I want to know why!

[He grins, cartwheeling back onto his feet. He grins.]

Well. It's something I was born with. I can absorb energy from things, and it causes me to sparkle.

[He smiles kneeling and putting his hand on the floor spreading his hand on the ground. He concentrates for a moment, the sparkles appearing on his arms and across his body. The grass around him had wilted and faded a little bit.]

See?

[]

It makes stuff die?

No, it doesn't make them die. Well, it has the potential.

[He crouches down to her height.]

Energy is a cycle. When you eat food, you chew it up and then it gives you energy right? So I can take energy away.

[He puts his hand back on the ground. The sparkles channel out of his hands and back into the grass and plants that perk up again.]

See?

[Larsa's on his way into the Quad when he notices the trailing sparkles, and then stops to blink and tilt his head curiously.]

Ah- sir...

Yeeeeeeees~?

[He turns, the sparkles dropping from him like... incredibly pretty flies.]

How can I help you?
