[likeseggos]

[what's up it's just eleven chillin' in her cozy basement room. she's sitting on the couch in front of a coffee table where there are some d&d miniature figures and whatnot.]

I met people like me here. Are there more? [she turns her attention to the miniatures, and they levitate off the table, then go flying sideways into the wall.]

I want to meet more people like me. I thought I was alone.

[He recognises her - Dustin's friend. He knows what Dustin has told him about her and so it doesn't actually shock him to see the figures floating.

Gone.

He remembers that too.]

Think you'll find a couple people like that. You're definitely not alone.

We call it "metahuman" where I'm from.

[goeth]

You're not alone. [ bonnie smiles brightly, fondly. ] What's your name? I'm Bonnie.

[divaricate]

A telekinetic? No, you're not the only one.

[She focuses the camera on her hand, where red wisps start to dance around her fingertips, and then picks up a pen on her desk and turns it around and around with her own powers before setting it back down. Then she focuses the camera back on her face.]

I can do that.

I'm Wanda.

[deathlessness]

I think mine is slightly different, but ...

[Freya's broadcasting from her room, and while she's not in the frame directly, there's one hand held out in front of her in the direction of a candle, which is the focus of the image. There's a murmured incantation under her breath, and the wick of the candle lights, without a lighter or match.]

I can move things as well, but my power is wider than that.

[backpacking]

Whoa - that's so cool!

[ Like a real-life superhero!! Ellie is supremely jealous. ]

I can't do anything like that, but I know there're people around who can.

[endingpoint]

[ Jane is completely mesmerized by what she sees, but no child should ever feel alone. That's the only real feeling she can remember from her childhood. That, and fear. ]

Even if people aren't like you, I don't think you'll ever be alone here.

[ Henry's tried to be on the lookout for her ever since Dustin mentioned Eleven, but the dream event and then the holidays kind of side-tracked him. But he's here now! ]

Hey! I'm friends with Dustin and he told me we should meet. Because...

[ He zooms the camera out and the objects on his desk (pens, comic books, a bottle of water) all rise and circle lazily, though he's using his hand and every which way he motions, the objects go. ]

I'm Henry.

[ With a grin, everything drops. ]

Metahuman.

[she repeats the word, like she's trying it on for size.]

I don't know what I am. At home. The word. There was just me.

[and like ... maybe 1-10??? but she never met them, so they don't count. maybe they died. who knows.]

[likeseggos]

[she smiles back.]

Eleven.

[it keeps making people uncomfortable that her name is a number, but it's her name so that's what she gives.]

video

[likeseggos]

[she smiles brightly, so pleased to find another person like her. yay!!]

Eleven. [she says her name in introduction, but she's more interested in wanda's telekinesis because it's like her's but different.] Yours is red. Your nose doesn't bleed?

[likeseggos]

[her eyebrows raise in surprise, since that's not exactly something she can do herself.]

I can do other things. But not that.

[deathlessness]

Well, we all have different skill sets. It depends on the world we're from.

[And she'll adjust the feed so now it's mostly Freya's smiling face.]

Where I'm from, they call us witches.

[needlebearer]

[Arya grins at El's display, thinking she couldn't have gotten even cooler before and being proved wrong.]

There are lots of people here who can do things like that. You're not alone.

[catchacold]

Doesn't really need a word, unless you want one.

[Certainly no need for her to make it a priority.]

You're Eleven, right? Dustin's friend.

video;

[walkingheroin]

Making a few new friends, are we?

video;

[likeseggos]

Friends are good.

[said like DON'T JUDGE ME YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD also i've never had friends before :'( ]

video

[likeseggos]

[a nod.] You're Dustin's friend too?

video

[likeseggos]

[aw yay, her friend with the cool room fort!! she smiles.]

I never met anyone like me before here.

[likeseggos]

Witches. [she repeats the word, considering.] Where I'm from, there's only me.

[deathlessness]

[Her head tips to the side.]

Are you sure? Sometimes people with abilities like ours can be hard to find.

[likeseggos]

[she smiles at the praise, but is curious about exactly how many special people there are around here:]

A lot?

[likeseggos]

[she considers this with a short nod.]

I have friends who aren't like me. Like Dustin.

video

[likeseggos]

[the dream event and the holidays were hard times for everyone, ok. and el usually spends a lot of time keeping to herself. BUT SHE IS VERY PLEASED TO MEET HIM as is her usual response to people like her. and apparently he knows dustin!!]

Your nose doesn't bleed.

[expatriates]

[ she's good at restraining her surprise by now. ]

That's quite the trick.

[likeseggos]

I can do more.
