Misty lead Roddy to the staircase that lead to the upper floor where the bedrooms were. "Oh, me..." She gave him a sly smile then lifted her hand. Her eyes took on a bluish/greyish color and she made a swirl with her hand and it was suddenly snowing on them, "...I create weather patterns. Still learning how to really use it. For now it is mainly small shows like this one." Then she made another gesture and the snow stopped. "Oh, and most of us don't care for the term, 'muties', that will get you beaten up real quick. Mutants is the term used around here or gifted. I prefer gifted. What about you? What can you do?"

(Roddy)

He watched as the girl Misty demonstrated her weather control power, drawing snow from the air around them.? It was barely more than a flurry, and a small one at that, but he thought it had a certain charm.? "Impressive," he said.
?
Roddy scowled for a moment when Misty suggested that using the word "mutie" could get him beaten up, muttering "I'd like to see 'em try."? But he quickly calmed himself, remembering that he needed to make a good impression if he wanted to stay.? And with the alternative being sent back to jail and possibly prison, he very much wanted to stay.

When asked what he could do, the young mutant hesitated.? "I can... focus electrical charges," he said finally.? "I can cause them to build up on a target until lightning strikes it.? It's not something I could show you in here though," he said, glancing around the upper floor where they'd ascended to.? "At least, not safely.? Maybe later.? Somewhere outside."? He winced a bit as he added "I'll probably have to demonstrate for your head honchos or whoever runs this place.? I can show you then."

Mia looked over the roster and everyone seemed to be there that was listed. Everyone was settling in. She decided to go and find Del and see what her lady was up to.

Del looked up as Mia came into their office.? "Oh, hi, hon," she said, standing up to give her co-head - and lover - a quick embrace.? "I heard we've got a new arrival, courtesy of the PVPD.? They didn't mistreat him, I hope?"
?
"I was thinking," she went on, returning to her desk, "that we could expand our plans for a gym/training room.? We have the land for it.? It's just a matter of coming up with the funding." She unrolled a set of architectural drawings for Mia to look over.? "What do you think?"
