at 04:57 | [Side] Under The Surface (Saturday 9-5-15 Morning)"Hey now, that's speciecist!" Blake says in a mockingly aggrieved tone.
"I kid, I kid. But, yeah, the whole mutants and military thing's gonna get real messy. And that is an issue for another time." He dismisses the matter as a distasteful subject for the conversation.
Blake is quiet for few moments, then asks, "So, you said yesterday that your powers had something to do with ice. What sort of stuff can you do with it?"

at 05:08 | [Side] Under The Surface (Saturday 9-5-15 Morning)"Not to mention my competitive shooting career is over until they stop thinking my ice powers give me an unfair advantage." Johanna snorts, visibly irritated by the subject, nodding solemnly when Blake decides to change the subject.
"Well, I don't feel the cold anymore, not that it bothered me anyway." She chuckles "I can lower the temperature around me, make walls of ice and shoot icicles like bullets."

at 05:38 | [Side] Under The Surface (Saturday 9-5-15 Morning)"Well forgive me for saying it, but that's pretty cool." Blake says with a grin.
Looking about at the hilltop they find themselves on, the dense trees of the forest at the edge of the property ahead of them. "Let's stop here for now." With that he takes a seat, and gestures for Johanna to do the same.

at 05:47 | [Side] Under The Surface (Saturday 9-5-15 Morning)Johanna grins right back at Blake.
As they sit down to Johanna looks at the forest with her hands lazily lying on top of her lap. "Blake can I... Uhmmm... As something from you?" She smiles shyly at him.

at 13:31 | [Side] Under The Surface (Saturday 9-5-15 Morning)Blake goes still at that, a series of conflicting emotions clearly playing across his face for a moment, before he regains control. He smiles, and says, "Nobodies asked that since, y'know..."
He draws a deep breath, steeling himself, and carefully offers out his arm, "Go ahead, check it out."

at 14:02 | [Side] Under The Surface (Saturday 9-5-15 Morning)Johanna's cheeks flush a bit with Blake's admission, giving him a nod and a friendly smile. She looks at his arm and reaches her hand, slowly and steadily placing it on top of it and begins to brush her hand along the skin of the arm back and forth "So cool."
A brief moment later she is satisfied and she withdraws her hand, placing it on top of her lap once more. She turns her head towards the forest before she speaks "Always wanted a pet Lizard, you know? Heck, I once tried to bring home a... we call them Sisilisko back at home, I don't know what they are called in English. Small little things. Freaked the crap out of my mum." Johanna demonstrates the size with extending her thumb and index finger and giggles at the memories of innocent childhood.

at 23:47 | [Side] Under The Surface (Saturday 9-5-15 Morning)Blake gives the girl a long, strange look, clearly trying to stop himself from saying something stupid. After a few moments, he finally says; "Thanks, for not being all disgusted and all, but could you ixnay the lizard talk? It's a little... disconcerting."

at 23:56 | [Side] Under The Surface (Saturday 9-5-15 Morning)"Ix... Nay?" Johanna looks puzzled by the word but falls silent, seemingly able to decipher what he meant, rubbing her neck "Sorry." She sighs and smacks her lips couple of times "I guess I still miss home and was compelled to make a connection to it... as stupid as it was, You know?"

at 00:20 | [Side] Under The Surface (Saturday 9-5-15 Morning)Johanna shrugs "A lot of forests and lakes. Rainy summers and extremely cold winters. Apart from that, pretty normal, I guess? Even if at times I feel live in two worlds." She joins her hands together on her lap, chuckling a little as she feels the need to elaborate further "My mum is a Swedish and I live with her in Wasa. My dad is a stereotypical Finn and lives in the country. Finns tend to think of Swedes as a bit... Snobbish, and I tend to agree. Finns in other are antisocial bipolar alcoholic hillbillies, like my Dad. He and Granpa were the ones who taught me how to shoot and hunt."

at 01:06 | [Side] Under The Surface (Saturday 9-5-15 Morning)"Duh!" She giggles "Rabbits, Pheasants, Ducks and Moose... Wish I could hunt a bear, but permits to shoot one are hard to get."
Johanna hums curiously "Speaking of Bears, I wonder what others are doing?"

at 03:09 | [Side] Under The Surface (Saturday 9-5-15 Morning)"Bears..." Trying to follow the train of thought, Blake chalks it up to cultural differences, and continues, "Well, its coming up on lunch time here, so I suppose we ought to head in, but some of us are getting together after lunch."
"We've been trying to puzzle out what's up with the school here. Some of the stuff we've been told doesn't seem to add up. Maybe you'd like to join us, since you were at the military one for a bit?"

at 05:18 | [Side] Under The Surface (Saturday 9-5-15 Morning)Blake rubs his chin for a moment, as though deciding how much to tell her. "Alright, but keep this quiet, we're not trying to advertise what we're up to. I'll give you the broad strokes version."
"So, I'm not sure of the circumstances of how you wound up here, but doesn't it strike you odd that this place was so willing to take us in? Without seeming to ask anything in return? Where I'm from, that's a huge red flag."
"There's been an assortment of other stuff, like how Dennis almost let Tammy get killed in our first PE class, that kinda, let's say, rubbed some of us the wrong way. So we're seeing what we can find out about the situation we now find ourselves in."
Again, Blakes starts with the hand talking, "Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that they aren't out to help us, it really does seem like they are. But there's some... concern, about what's really up here."

at 05:45 | [Side] Under The Surface (Saturday 9-5-15 Morning)Johanna eyes widen and her jaw drops a little from the things Blake is telling her. She nods along his revelation in agreement, things are indeed somewhat fishy.
"I-i see." Johanna swallows, running her fingers through her hair as she gathers her thoughts. "I guess I can help, don't know how, though." She says in unsure way.

It's a lot to take in on your first day, and I won't hold it against you if you'd rather stay out of it." He shrugs, "This does hold the potential to get us into a lot of trouble after all."

Johanna gently takes hold of Blake's giant hand and lower it with both of her own. She offers him a gentle smile "Shit's weird, to say the least. So... I'm in. What do we do next, then?"

After lunch we'll meet up at the greenhouse and see if the others have managed to find anything out so far. We'll figure out what's next from there."

"A-anyway" She combs her hair back and hums for a bit "I guess we should go grab lunch before we don't get any?"
