"ACHOO!"

The ground sunk under his feet this time, and he quickly yanked his feet from the sidewalk before it cracked beneath his increased weight, knowing the softer ground would be more forgiving to outward appearances. He mentally muttered a cuss word and glanced to the building he'd been heading to. Looks like he was missing that meeting with his professor. Oh well. His slacker reputation would remained, it seemed, untarnished.

Uneasily, his eyes flickered around, and the forward momentum of red hair caught his attention. She was saying something and looking at him. His eyes clouded in confusion for a moment--yeah he could read lips but distance didn't help, and he wasn't sure he'd caught everything--but what he caught made enough sense. She was asking if he'd seen...something. He could guess what that 'something' was, and successfully squashed the impulse to flinch. Best not to acknowledge, right? He could feign ignorance, buy himself time, but that perpetuated a picture he didn't care for, so a response was necessary.

It was lucky, he often thought (with no small amount of arrogance), that he could think quickly. Maybe she simply meant her tripping. He decided to go with that. It wasn't exactly nice to point out, particularly since he was well aware it wasn't her fault, but...well, he liked his place under the radar. Schooling his features into some approximation of innocent concern, he stepped towards her and offered a hand, signing with the other and forming the words with his mouth though soundlessly, See what?. His lips twisted sympathetically and he shrugged gently, and added, You trip? Yeah, hard to miss. His fingers in the proffered hand curled slightly in gentle invitation, eyebrows raising to ask, You OK?

Who else had seen? The hair on his neck prickled, heart pounding. Had anyone been looking out windows? Someone else called out that he hadn't noticed? It took more willpower than he thought capable to avoid looking uncomfortably around and over his shoulder and very purposefully smiled.

Nothing out of the ordinary here.

Samantha Adams paused in midstride as her run was interrupted by… a momentary loss of gravity? Often she wasn’t exactly aware of her body in space, an unfortunate side effect of her rampant ADD, but this was just enough to be noticeable.

And she almost fell flat on her face because of it.

Manipulation of nonliving matter is completely not useful when you’re trying to stop yourself from smacking the concrete. As she pushed herself up she couldn’t help but get a brief glimpse of things thudding back to earth.

Shit, did I do that? She wondered uneasily. Looking around, she sees no one that would be the wiser, except for one young man nearby who looked as uncomfortable as she did. He also kind of looked like he needed a Claritin.

“You didn’t see that… did you?” She asked, blinking.

Mutation Malfunction | closed

Ugh.

Pollen.

There were innumerable perks to being in cities. To JD’s way of thinking, the general dearth of plant life as a whole was one of them. Green stuff was fine most of the year, but then annually at this particular season, it collectively decided (like some kind of hive mind) to just arbitrarily douse the atmosphere in noxious yellow dust, all at once, and get in anyone with lung’s way of breaking. He abhorred it with a vengeance. With a mournful scowl at the flowering trees on campus, out of place amongst the tall, sprawling metropolis that otherwise surrounded campus, he signed a moderately rude phrase in their direction. As if in direct response, precisely when JD’s hands ceased movement, a breeze, bearing the offensive substance in question, picked up. JD felt his eyes water, something innate flickering in defensive response that had no connection whatsoever to membrane nerves–though they fired as well.

“ACHOO!”

For a moment, just the briefest time it took to take a breath and exhale it, the bike racks lining the path abruptly lifted off the ground, chains rattling and helmets wafting into one another to bounce gently back off. Just an inch or two, no more, slow and quiet and drifting gently. Loose leaves, trash, even the bench that wasn’t bolted down lifted off–up–from the ground, suspended for a moment by the lack of force to hold them down. An unwary passerby, too close, would, perhaps for only a single or half step, feel a curious weightlessness, miss the sensation of foot hitting ground for a step, of pressure and stride. JD pulled a face, shuddered, and fished for a Kleenex, scowl deepening as he saw it floating out of his pocket. He snatched it from the air, and bikes and leaves and benches came solidly, enthusiastically, back to Earth from their brief and slight flight.

It wasn’t polite, he had to admit, to startle people. But it was a little bit funny. Nonetheless, as the girl jumped, his hands moved to steady the books, though she quickly got a handle on them herself. He watched her face closely, getting the gist of her words, and nodded, tapping the books and raising his eyebrows in silent question. He grinned and shook his head at the next question and shrugged, hand returning to the side of the books as he signed, mouthing the words slowly; They look heavy. His grin broadened and he added, Not saying you can’t handle it...but he pointed to himself and the direction he was headed. It just looked like they were going to the same place.

She jumped at the sudden appearance of the other, so much that the books she’d been struggling to hold almost fell out of her hands completely. Brows furrowed in confusion, studying his hands. Great, she’d never learned much sign language, and now she was startled and embarrassed. “You’re asking..something about helping right?” Niya inquired, biting her bottom lip while she balanced the stack in her arms. They were mostly art books, one on evolution, and one or two were simply children books.”Or, do you need help?” She gave a small laugh, shaking her head. “I’m sorry, I’m really bad at this.”

A gentle tap on the shoulder was JD’s preferred method of getting people’s attention. For one, it was sort of pleasant to sneak up on them the way folks tried with him at times, and for another, it just seemed more polite than shoving a hand in front of their face. He wasn’t one to call out. After he had their attention, he tapped their task at hand, and signed, You look like you could use some help. Give or take whether they’d understand, so he schooled his expression best he could. ‘Looking helpful’ was universal, wasn’t it?
