children see magic (rp thread, sign ups inside) because they look for it

Lucie had hesitated a moment too long to reply to Callum, her eyes glued to the figures. She'd been a little bit caught off-guard when a pair of green eyes had connected with hers, though she wasn't someone easily intimidated by just a stare. Whatever powers the girl threatening their headmaster had, Lucie had been training longer and was within comfortable territory. Clearly everything here, on the other hand, was uncomfortable and unfamiliar for the dark-haired girl who stood in the garden. It reminded Lucie a little bit of a declawed cat, something lashing out in fear. She had to admit, if nothing else, that this was more interesting than the normal new arrivals, kids or tweens who showed up in often a confused, curious stupor, not quite sure of their decision to follow but still a little too inquisitive to leave. But her heart rate sped up as she watched Mx. Lenore, their headmaster who Lucie had almost never seen bested, slowly turned to stone before her eyes. "Hell, the girl's a modern-day Medusa," she muttered, mostly to herself though loud enough for Callum to probably hear. "I don't like not doing anything, but I don't like that 'power' of hers either." Her shoulders were tense, her clear blue gaze focused intently on the scene in front of her though she dared not leave the front porch, assuming that the teachers would prefer it if the students stayed out of the way of a potentially dangerous new arrival, especially one with an innate ability as strange as this. "Do we do something? Or let it be?" Lucie asked Callum, feeling an impulsiveness that she'd often been warned against acting upon creep up on her.

Mercy smiled, thankful for the reassurance she was doing well. When Beau stood to hold the door open for her, she muttered a thank you after walking through and started off towards the garden. Once they stepped outside, Mercy arrived just in time to see Mx. Lenore turned to stone. ”Oh my God!” she exclaimed in surprise, then exhaled slowly. Mx. Lenore would be fine. They would turn back in no time, Mercy was sure. A stern look crossed the woman’s face as she rounded on the new arrivals. ”First rule of the Gregory Linwell House that you need to know is no unprecedented magic outside of the classroom.” Mercy cleared her throat, ensuring she was calm before continuing with a straight face. ”All three of you are here because you are magically gifted. We will teach you to control and hone your skills while keeping you safe. I’m Ms. Mendoza, this is Mr. Davies and Mr. Howell, and the person you just turned to stone is Mx. Lenore, our headmaster.” Mercy gestured to the stone statue now stood beside her.

Callum watched as the teachers began to file out, and he waved his hand dismissively. ”We don’t need to do anything. Besides, they’d probably just get mad at us for getting involved anyway. Better if we stay out of it,” he answered. Truthfully, Callum was quite enjoying the show. Why ruin a perfect show? Besides, it seems like the teachers had it handled.

Megan looked shocked as this Lorelei girl turned the nice person to stone. ”What the hell?!” she shrieked. Her healing powers would do nothing for this poor person! Megan had begun to panic, but the arrival of adults who didn’t seem all too rattled about the situation calmed her down a bit. After Mercy’s explanation, Megan’s curiosity was definitely piqued. ”A school for magical kids?”

Reece sighed and nodded. ”Alright, I’ll be down in a minute,” he responded, shrugging on his signature bomber jacket before heading out his office door and down the stairs. He met up with Mercy and Beau at the entrance, acknowledging the two with a nod before they approached the new arrivals together. Reece might have spoken, but instead only waved when Mercy introduced him as Mr. Howell.
