Oh, we get superpowers that AREN'T linked to the appearance? Okay, Gamma's will be... destruction. She can deform and destroy the things around her.

Sebastian-

”Who are you?!?” I ask, screaming at the ghostly figure. Her eyes are beautiful... No! Don’t get distracted. This ADHD still doesn’t control you. “Yes, who are you?” My little sister says. “Naho, get the pistol.” She obliged, and got the pistol. Then the ghostly figure said, “I won’t give you my name, yet. You have to earn my trust. And there needn’t be bloodshed.” “Bloodshed?” As if I would hurt you, you can help with the spreading illness!!! “Bloodshed? I don’t want to hurt you. You—“ My words were cut off my my sister transforming into a red panda and covering my mouth with her paws. “MMMMPH.” I was muffled by her soft paws. Then I pried them off. “Anyway,”I said tossing her off. “I’m Sebastian, this is Naho. We're brother and sister. If we weren’t, I’d already be dead.” Dead, like Mom and Dad. No time to think like that. But it still hurts... Tears welled up in my eyes, and they fell. Down, down, down. Then they came like a river as I sat and cried. “Did... did I say something...?” The ghost asked. “No, he... saw our parents die.” Naho said, on the edge of tears herself. “Stop... talking about... that.” I felt hands on my back, so I turned around to see whose they were, and the ghost girl was actually TOUCHING me! “I’m sorry, I said, ‘the word.’” “Bloodshed?” I asked choking back tears. “Yes. That.” Naho said. “It’s okay, Sebbi. Just lay down and-“ Before she could finish finding her words, the ghostly figure said, “The wolves! I’m so sorry, just come with me.” Naho and I followed in our animal forms, running to our hearts content. When we got there, Naho sat on my head, as I transformed back. Ghostly figure, I wanted to say, your hands felt nice on my back, just please do it again, one last time? “Is this it?” Naho said, jumping off of my head, transforming into a human. “Yes. There they are,” We walked over to where the ghost pointed. “THE SPIDER!!!” Naho cried. “What?” I asked puzzled. “Look, a spider, doofus!” Naho pointed to the spider mutant the wolves were sitting on. “It’s a mutant. Look, it’s too big for an accurate black widow.” I said, stumbling over a root as we got closer. Naho pulled out a handkerchief from her pocket, handing it to me, I blew my nose. “Every time you cry, we have to clear your nose.” I felt dizzy. “Why are there 5 of you guys?” I asked seeing everything spin. “What?” Naho’s words seemed to ripple, like when you drop a stone in water, the ripples circle on and on. A ringing started in my ears. “Let me sit down, maybe that will-“ I fell to the ground before anything else was said, and I blacked out.

Silvia~

I stare around, wondering what the heck is going on. Furball's friend leans down to her and whispers: "Can we trust them, Karen?" Furball- no, she must be Karen, then, growls back,
"No. I don't trust any of them. Least of all Leg- Silvia, here."

@Sybill what is Asahi's answer? And also, when should we introduce them to other charries?

Naholily

“Sebastian!” I cried, “Wake up!!” He just laid there. “Is he breathing?” Asked Ghost Girl. “Yep, he must have gotten overwhelmed...”  I replied. “Overwhelmed? What do you mean…?” Ghosty said. “Well, he has PTSD on addition to ADHD.”  I realized that she was accually interested in him. “My brother is weak at points, so he needs someone to care for him.” I said, hinting to her. “Oh,” she replied. Oh? That’s it? Don’t you like him? Think he’s cute? I thought. “Pick him up, he’s all yours.” I said. “What?!?” Ghosty said, shocked. “Just carry him to the wolves and everyone else.” I said. “Not like I’m gonna give him to you...” “Oh, okay.” So she picked him up, and you could see little pink spots on her face.

Sebastian- 

I woke up to a severe headache, and yellow eyes. “Ugh, my head...” I said, rubbing my forehead. “Oh! You’re awake.” Naho said. “Yep. Do you have Ibuprofen in the backpack?” I asked. “Maybe.” She replied. Then who was carrying me...? I looked up, and the transparent girl was carrying me. I felt my face go hot. Not only is she carrying me, I have a crush on her now!!! Staring at her, mesmerized, I realized Naho was shoving a water canteen and ibuprofen at me. “Oh, right, thanks, Naho.” I took the medicine, and just as we got to the wolves, my headache cleared. “Okay, I got her. This is Naho, and Sebastian.” The girl said, just now realizing I was awake. “Oh, sorry.” She sat we down on the ground. “It’s alright. Just, how can we earn your trust?

Hope this goes well, Void, out. :3 

Kira~~

I could feel myself blushing as I carried Sebastion back to the fight scene with the wolves and spiders. His sister is really pushy, but I kinda like her anyway. Once I relieze he's awake I drop him rather quickly, I hadn't touched someone like that in ages and I was starting to feel weird. 

"Ooff." he grunts. 

"Oops. Sorry." I say.

He shrugs and takes acepts a pill from his sister. I struggle to hold onto my ghost form. Sighing in defeat I relax and allow myself to naturally take on the colors around me.

"How do we earn your trust?" he asks. "Hey... where did you go?" 

"I'm still here. It's just hard holding onto an outline like that for such a long time." I say, I blink and change my eyes back to yellow. 

"Oh... that is creepy." Naho says. "How do you keep invisible like that for so long?! I have troubles keeping it for five minutes.

"It's just natural, I relax and I change color. I don't know how well that would work for you though. And to earn my trust... well we'll see. This is really the first time I've talked to anyone in ages."

Naho blinks and looks a little surprised. I know why, she's such an outgoing person and she has her brother to keep her company. I must be strange thinking that someone would keep away from other people. I used to be like that, but now I stay hidden. Maybe I can change that.  

I look around at the ragtag group of people. So many people and everyone one of them is looking at each other with distrust. And then two more people step out of the brush and ask:

"What's going on?" 

"We're going to find the cure for the illness!" I say excitedly, "And save everyone!"

Everyone looks over at me and stares. I know what they see. Two glowing eyes. If our quest is ever going to work we need to trust each other. And how can they trust me? I'm nervous, but for the first time I completly shut off my invisibility. And everyone stares. Including me. It's been a year since I've acually seen myself.

My normally white skin has been tanned to a light shade of brown for the sun. My long dirty-blonde hair is tangled and full of sticks. I'm wearing a tight skin black shirt and leggings, with no shoes (I had no idea I lost my shoes. They were a nice pair). I have green scales around my eyes and across my face like freckles. And dotting the tops of my hands. I stand up straight and glare at everyone.

"My name is Kira. And I'm going to save the world." 

A bit overdramatic, but then I've always had a flair for the dramatics as my mom would say. Let's see what they say! I'm ready for an adventure... are they?

~~~~~

Ahhh.... that was fun! Indroducing Kira with as much flair as I could!  

Asahi~~

"You seemed like the type who is always checking behind their back." I reply with a slight grin on my face, though it fades quickly . 

The sound of voices reaches us and we investigate. 

There's a large group of mutants all bristling at each other, various expressions of distrust on their faces.  Gamma and I step towards them. 

"What's going on?" I growl.

A pair of yellow eyes--chameleon mutant, probably--answers excitedly. "We're going to find the cure to the illness, and save everyone!"

Gamma and I share a look of amusement. 

The eyes fade into the body of a young girl. She smiles.

"My name is Kira. And I'm going to save the world. "

"And exactly how do you plan on doing that?" I growl.

~~~ 

Sebastian-

I finally got her name. Kira. What a lovely name. “Well, if we want to cure the illness, we will have to get moving.” Naho said, bluntly. “Hate to be a pain, Red-Panda-Raccoon-Thing, but, you are pushy.” One of the wolves said. “Don’t call my sister pushy.” I said, drawing my sword. Are you watching, Kira? I would do this for you after you revealed yourself to me. “Oh, what are you going to do about it, hm?” The wolf said. “Don’t push my buttons, fluff-nut.” Naho said, protecting me. “Fluff-nut, now?!? It went from, Furball to Fluff-nut. Wow.” The female wolf laughed. “Just this once, we won’t kill you on the spot.” I said, putting my sword back. “First of all,” Kira started, “we have to move it, as Naho said.” She replied. “Let’s go in groups. By age, I guess.” Naho suggested. “Great idea,” Kira and I said in unison. We both blushed as red as cherries.  “Are we going, or not?” The spider mutant said. “Everyone needs rest, we’ll go at sunrise.” I said. Then I teleported to our camp to pack up. I saw everyone wondering where I went. I started packing, and about 15 minutes later, everyone appeared at the packed camp. I launched the backpack on my back, and started to walk. “Sebastian,” Kira said, grabbing my shoulder. “Ow.” I replied. “That hurt.” I said, rubbing my shoulder. “I’m sorry, but, we are going to have to walk now.”  She said. “Ewwww!” I heard someone cry. “What?” I said, as they pointed to my leg. “Oh.” I said, looking down at my bleeding leg. “It happens after I teleport. I’m fine,” I attempted to smile throughout the pain, but it still hurt. “Uh, no you’re not.” Naho said, grabbing the backpack. “Band-aids, Band-aids... Ah-ha!” She said, as she stuck a giant band-aid on my leg. “Problem solved.” I said, “Let’s get going. Everyone break into their groups. 11, 12,13, go with Naho. 14,15,16, come with me. And the rest of you follow the male wolf. “Hmph.” Naho said. “I’m all alone.” She started to pout. “You can go with the male wolf.” I said. Her face lit up, “Yes!” She exclaimed. “Okay, go catch up with them.” I pushed her along. Then she transformed, and ran up to them. —————————————————————————————————

I hope that we get their names, and I will insert Gamma and her love interest in this. It’s just how I saw it, that as they are leaving, they come out. :3 

@Nyx - sure! I'd say probably Namir, though he'd be super awkward about it... ;) 

~Namir~

Ari glanced at him. "Do we trust them?" he kept his voice low so the others wouldn't hear. 

They were at the back of the group, waiting to set out. Ari had his staff in hand, leaning on it like a walking stick. Namir felt a growl rumble in the back of his throat. "Trust them? No. But I say we go along with them. A cure to the sickness would be good for everyone." Ari nodded agreement, scanning the group. They were clustered in twos and threes, casting uneasy glances at everyone else as if wondering who would be the first to stab them in the back. Wolf-boy and his friend- what was her name, Karen? were sitting as far away as possible from the spider-girl. Kira was standing near the boy and the younger red panda girl from earlier. Kira seemed nice enough, but idealistic. She really believed this rag-tag group of mutants who didn't even know each other's names would save everyone from the sickness? Ridiculous. 

A voice in his head whispered, Then why are you following them? 

He ignored it. Ari was saying something. He blinked. "Sorry, what?" 

His friend rolled his eyes. "I said, maybe we should introduce ourselves instead of just standing here like these other idiots." 

Namir shrugged. "Your lead."

Ari snorted. "Like you would ever lead a social interaction," he teased. 

Namir crossed his eyes at him. Ari grinned. "C'mon, you'll miss all the fun." he turned and headed toward spider-girl. Namir followed somewhat reluctantly. 

The spider-girl looked up as they approached. She made no hostile moves, but her eyes were wary. "Hi," Ari started simply. She offered a nod in return. "I'm Ari, and this is Namir." 

"Silvia." was all she said. Ari nodded and they all stood there awkwardly for a moment. Namir's instincts tingled. He disliked talking with strangers. It made him feel unfocused and jittery. 

A slight noise in the brush off to the left. Namir turned towards the sound, his claws unsheathing instinctively. Ari's head whipped around, his ears swiveling to find the source. Two more mutes crashed through the brush into the clearing. Everyone turned. A wolf-headed boy and a girl that looked like a wolf... sort of. behind her head was a colorful hood or a frill, something. Sprouting from behind it were several long tentacle-like protrudences with spurs of bone at the tips. 

"What's going on here?" Wolf-head growled. 

~~~~~

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I guess I'll leaave it there since I don't really know what order exactly things are happening in........ 

Kira~~

I frowned and itched at my ear. Something... something... what? I closed my eyes and slowly disapeared, focusing my concentration. The itching got worse until I relize, east. We should head east. As we broke off into groups I stumbled, trying to decide which group I should join. 

This is what happens when you look and act younger than you acually are. 

I joined Sebastain's group and I don't miss the dopey grin on his face when he saw me. Just as I was about to say which direction we should head in, a wolf faced person and weird girl with a hood jumped out of the bushes. 

Great, more surprise people. 

"What's going on here?" the wolf headed person asked.

"We're going to go find the cure for the sickness." I said with a sigh, giving myself an outline so they know where I am.

They looked shocked and I quickly continued, "You can join us if you want to. I think we should go east, that's where we'll find the cure."

"Why should we go east?" the wolf girl asked.  

"You have a better idea?" I snapped.

She opened her mouth and sighed. "No, I dont'." 

"Well, if no one else disagrees I say we go east. Following the rising sun."  

I feel so bad. I haven’t posted in a day! Usually I post twice a day. I am so sorry, there’s been drama. (Quite literally! I was at my acting class.) So, I might post an extra long comment. Here goes~!

~~~~~~~~~~~Naholily~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gotta catch up to that wolf, Sebbi told you to. “Hey!” I called to the wolves. “Wait up!” The wolves just looked at me. “Wait up,” They said, mocking me in a high voice. “That’s not funny.” I said, holding my ground, “Do you want to know what’s funny?” I asked them, staring them down. “That you’re cowards. You haven’t even told us your names. So... tell me. Or, you have a new name. I’ll give you a hint. It’s Coward.” I could see them gritting their teeth. “I’m Logan,” Said the silver wolf. “Silvia.” The spider girl said. “And that leaves me,” The female wolf said. “Karen.” I got all of their names. “Okay, keep moving.” I said. Pushing them all along the path. Where are Kira and Sebastian…? That thought had just crossed my mind. “Kira... Sebastian?” I called, running along the path. They were talking to a frilly black mutant and a wolf-headed-boy. “Um, guys?” I asked. Kira grabbed Sebastian’s sword, and swung it at me. “Woah,” I said, ducking before she could get to me. “THAT IS NAHOLILY!” Sebastian screamed at Kira, snatching his sword back, and putting it away. “Oops, sorry.” Kira said, helping me up. “I’m alright.” I said. “I just came to check on you. and grab the pistol. These wolves scare me.” I said digging through the backpack. “I got their names, I bribed them.”  Just then Sebastian whipped around. “OW.” Kira and I said in unison, Sebastian had smacked us in the face with my backpack. “What’re their names?!” He said excitedly. “Karen, Logan, and Silvia.” I said, counting on my fingers. “Now, I’m going to them with this,” I held up my pistol. “Cya.”~

~~~~~~~~NeXt AcT~~~~~~~~ AcTiOn.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

>>>>>>>>>Sebastian<<<<<<<<<<<<<

“Kira! We got their names!” I said, and just as a instinct... I hugged her. SHOOT!!! I let go after about 10 seconds. “Sorry...” I said, and I could feel my face getting hot. “I... it’s an instinct.” I felt light-headed. “It’s okay...” I heard her mumble. “Really?” I said, feeling not so dizzy. “Ahem.” The people we were talking to were still there. “Oh, sorry.” Kira said, and went on talking with them telling them all about the what-not we were doing. I sat down to catch my breath. Phew... I thought, Maybe she’s single... WHY AM I THINKING THAT!?! “We should get going. East.” Kira said, “Sebastian, go get Naho and the others, we will all go in a group.” So I got them, and about 20 minutes later, we all were off. A band of dis-trusting people. Kira walked right beside me the whole time. And the wolf boy, and Frills were with us. Kira’s hand brushed mine, and we almost held hands. Please, please, please. I prayed. Her fingers twined with mine. YES! We walked along for hours like that. “We should rest now.” I said, digging through the backpack. “Books?” Kira said. “Yep. Naho, your turn to set up camp.” She nodded. “Can I see what you have...?” She asked. “Sure!” I said, handing her the backpack. “One is in Japanese. That’s mine.” I said. “Wow.” She said, picking out a book titled, Twilight. “Do you like romance novels?” I asked her. “Not really. I like mysteries, and fantasy.” She said, her yellow eyes looking into mine. We just looked at each other for a while, and our hands touched again.~

—————————————————————————

I feel that romance is sparking! @Moonfrost, should they kiss now? Or should we wait? I’ll let you post and decide.
