Just Jump (Open)

[kari]

Kari didn't know why he was doing this, he just felt that he had to, the idea's buzzing through his head.
He was standing on top of a tall building, about five stories off the ground looking down at the alley below him. He bit his lip softly as he begun to think about what he was doing.

Lately his powers had become more and more active, just going off on their own whenever they felt like it. He wasn't the kind who was going to ask for help about it, so he figured that if he was going to control them he had to lean how on his own.

So he had decided to do just that and try and get his powers under control, although he still didn't have any idea what they were exactly, after all they had just seemed random and erratic every time they went off. So he figured he ought to get them to work the same way he had in the first place. He decided he had to scare his powers out.

Slowly he closed his eyes, trying not to think about what he was doing as his foot began to move forward off the ledge. It hung there in mid air for a moment before Kari felt himself tipping forward, falling off the building.

His eyes snapped open as he realized what he was doing and he yelled as the air rushed past him. Suddenly he stopped, after falling four stories down, his body suspended in the air. The molecules around him becoming less dense and making him float there, he breathed heavily before looking around and realizing that there was nothing holding him up, the ground looming one story beneath him his only way back to land, but he had no idea how to maneuver himself.

He gulped and cleared his throat, trying to move his arms a little like it would help, but he continued to stay floating there. Suddenly he heard someone coming and he gasped, his body floating in air and he didn't know what to do.

A man in a business suit started to walk and saw that there was a boy floating in mid air. He wondered what was happening and simply stared at him. The man waited for the boy to come down or what not. This man just kept on staring at him, and then suddenly an invisible force would start to push Kari down slowly towards the ground. This force was pushed down by the business man, but would Kari notice that such a normal looking man could do that.

This businessman was Viator and he started to walk towards the boy, "Seems like you were having some kind of gravitational trouble?" he asked, not mentioning anything weird. It seemed Viator knew of mutant powers, or he was just an open minded civilian. Viator looked at the boy and read his thoughts, he noticed that Kari simply wanted to control his own powers.

(Just to mention, it would take a incredible amount of force in order to pull air molecules down closer to earth, they are in constant motion and are almost unaffected by gravity)


Kari looked upward suddenly to see a man walking toward him from down the alleyway. He grumbled, really not needing a situation like this to happen, after all he came here because he thought it would be empty.
He tried again to move himself but only spun a little, his body floating as if in zero gravity. The calmness of the man after Kari had started to float shocked him the most, as he didn't seem the least bit fazed that Kari was floating off of the ground. Although this usually only meant one thing, and that was that he most likely had some kind of secret as well. His mind started to race when he though of different possibilities, although seeing someone with powers in this town wasn't something completely out of the ordinary.

Kari noticed the man looking at him and he grumbled and turned his head, thinking the man was mocking him, but then again how would he know that Kari was stuck. Slowly he reached in to his pocket, pulling out a cigarette and placing it in his mouth.
"You can go no-" He found himself being cut off from finishing what he was saying because as he reached to grab his lighter he found himself flipping over and floating there upside down, his legs straight up in the air.

The cigarette that was in his mouth slowly fell to the ground below him and he looked back toward the man, only to notice him still standing there calmly, asking if he needed help.

Although he was currently stuck in quite the odd position, his head pointing toward the ground with his legs upward, his shirt halfway up his chest showing his abs. But even through all of that he didn't want to ask for help, figuring that he can get down soon enough anyways.

(Well enough gravitational force would bring down an air resistant object/person. But it is your character so I wont tread that far if you don't like it.)

Viator simply watched the kid as he attempted to spark a cigarette in mid air. It was then his balance in the air was turned upside down. The tall male walked closer to the boy. He picked up the cigarette that was on the ground and handed it to the boy. Viator did not simply hand the cigarette he extended it out on his palm and let it float up beside the boy.

"There's no need to worry, your secret is safe with me, I'm Viator the Executioner, but you can just call me Viator," the tall man said as he looked at the boy. The boy seemed to be wanting to control his ability, and he seemed to want to do that on his own.

"So what's your name, kid?' Viator asked, as he leaned against the wall that Kari jumped from. Lately, Viator had been simply wandering making conversations with random people, but mostly mutants. He was more interested in the mutants and their powers. He could sense mutants and the ones with powers, but he didn't know what kind of power they had. The power to know people had abilities, but not knowing what it was, made the man more curious. Viator did not know what kind of power the boy held, whether it was gravitational manipulation or aerokinesis.

Kari spun around in the air, helplessly trying to find a way to land himself. Although it seemed hopeless, after all he didn't know how to control his powers so why would the work now of all times. Kari grumbled again and worked to hold his shirt up so his chest was no longer exposed.

His other hand just dangled there like it had no idea what to do. He looked up to notice the man kept turning around and then looking back toward him, although why he didn't know.
He grumbled, not sure how to really explain what he was doing, after all it seemed to idiotic to him now that he wondered why he had even though of it in the first place. Although at least he had succeeded in keeping himself from going splat.

He had all but forgotten about the cigarette that he had dropped by now, his attention focused on the man who was trying to help him down. Although the two had soon became one as the man picked it up, before causing it to float into the air right toward his grasp. Kari snatched it and looked at the man, who he know obviously knew was a mutant.
"My name is Kar-" Kari was cut off by a slight hissing sound around him, his eyes becoming bright blue.
In almost the same moment Kari found himself falling to the ground as the air became normal around him again, his body getting closer to the ground.

[grace3]

The large man had a smirk on his face as the boy snatched the cigarette. The boy seemed independent and wanting to be alone. He seemed to not be really open, and from the thoughts he was reading here and there, it seemed the boy didn't like his company that much. Viator really didn't care about privacy when it came to his powers and would openly read other's thoughts. "Kar?" he simply said, as the boy suddenly stopped talking. It was then the boy started to plummet to the ground. Viator knew it would hurt the boy if he fell on his head, so he simply manipulated the gravity around the boy. The gravitational force became much more lighter, as if he was in space.

Kari would be able to move around freely like on the moon. He did this until Kari would position himself upright. "Now what were you saying, kid?" Viator asked about his name knowing he got cut short. Viator simply wanted some allies, or acquaintances.

[kari]

Kari felt the wind rushing past his head as he felt the inevitable crunch of the ground getting closer. Although this wasn't really the way he planed to go.

But then he found himself being clutched, by what or who he didn't know. And then there was the thump he had been waiting for as he made contact with something quite a bit softer than the ground. He was a little dazed at first but none the less he was happy that he had stopped again. But this time it seemed different, everything was much lighter and yet he seemed in control. He was sure it wasn't his powers, after all they didn't seem to help him much the first time.

He spun slightly until he was able to stand on the ground and he felt himself touch down on solid terra firma. He quickly popped the cigarette into his mouth and lit it, rather nervously. After all he had just survived jumping off a building without a scratch. Not something that many people could say.
He took a few slow drags before he looked back up at the man.
"Kari..." He grumbled softly.

[grace3]

"Kari.. huh? Well I'm Viator the Executioner." Viator said with a casual tone. "Can't you lighten up a little kid? Stop being so uptight, let loose thats part of what you need to if you want control over your powers," the larger man said. Viator took out a pack of cigarettes, Marlboro, and popped one of the cigarettes in his mouth. He checked his pockets and took out some matches. He lit one quickly and sparked his cigarette. Viator let the match fall to the ground, as he took long drags out of the cigarette. "So, are you from that Mansion for gifted youngins?" Viator asked, curiously. Everytime he saw kids around her, Viator assumed they were probably from that school.

Viator motioned for Kari to follow him. "C'mon kid, you hungry? A near death experience takes a lot out of you, y'know?' Viator suggested. The man was willing to buy the kid some food. Viator basically had all the money in the world... since he was basically here since money was invented. It was easy to invest in something there was so much of.

Kari took another slow drag of his cigarette and turned his attention out toward the street. Although he was instantly brought back to the man when he started trying to give him advice on his powers.
Kari glared and turned back around.
"I can use my powers just fine....."
He scratched the side of his head and tried to ignore the man who was obviously now intruding just because he was a mutant as well. So far every one he had met always had something to say about his lack of control, and even now they still all annoyed Kari to no end.

He looked over at the man when he mentioned something about a school and he raised a brow.
"No... I live with my parents, but why the hell do you care?"
He took another slow drag from his cigarette before he flicked it into the street, watching as it tumbled off of the curb.
"Honestly man.. I just met you but that doesn't mean I want to go to lunch..." Kari probably thought that the man figured that he had saved him. Even though in Kari's opinion he was doing fine before the guy even showed up, after all he had managed to save himself.
