Freak Out (Open)

[Kahlanai]

(This thread is open to a character of either gender. I don't mind who you choose to play. Surprise me <3)

Name: Leah Abrams
Age: 18
Height: 5'5"
Hair: Long and red, invariably left to hang loose over her shoulders
Complexion: Fair skin, a light scattering of freckles over the bridge of her nose, bright blue eyes.
Abilities: Leah is an empath. She feels what people around her feel and that is only magnified through physical contact with them. If she is not careful, she often transfers whatever emotions she is feeling to someone when they are in physical contact with her.

Whispers in the high school corridors were generally aimed at one girl in particular. Leah Abrams, the one they all thought of as a 'freak'. She was pretty, sure, with red hair and large, expressive, icy blue eyes, but pretty wasn't quite enough to make up for the strange things she did. She had a tendency to act on impulse, to do things without warning. Those urges and impulses that she acted on were not her own, but rather the impulses of the people around her. It was her big secret, something that she kept close to her chest, hid away from the rest of the world as a means of self preservation. Leah was an empath, a 'mutant' some people called it. It wasn't by choice, it was just something that she'd had forced upon her by fate two years ago. Now, as she passed through the halls, she felt what those close to her felt. Her emotions fluctuated and compiled upon each other. Thankfully, in the past two years she'd learned to distinguish between her own emotions and the emotions of other people. For the most part.

Leah had had not even been able to bring herself to tell her best friend or close friends, for fear that she would be cast out by the people who meant the world to her. She did not want to be the freak with no friends, being a plain old freak was bad enough.

As she passed through the halls on Friday afternoon, heading to her last class of the day, she clutched her books to her chest, concentrating on the floor as she walked in an attempt to drown out the emotions and feeling she was being bombarded with. Lust, anger, amusement, annoyance. Everything flashed through her in such rapid succession that she did not have enough time to process any of them before they were replaced. She avoided one of the boys as they ran by her, accidentally bumping into a couple leaning against a locker as a result. Her skin brushed against the guy's for the briefest moment, but it was enough to make his hormonally charged urges force themselves into her mind.

Before she could act on those urges, however, she mumbled an apology and moved off quickly, listening to laughter and a few taunts, heading for some place that she could sit quietly and sort herself out, just to regain her composure and her own thoughts. Pushing through the first door she found, she made her way into the gym, thankfully empty at this time of day, at least for the moment. With her back pressed against the wall, the cool surface teasing her skin, she lowered herself into a sitting position, her legs tucking in against her side. Placing the books by her side, she smoothed her mid-thigh length red skirt down in an attempt to ensure that she did not flash her underwear at anyone who might walk in and find her. The button-up shirt she wore sat snugly on her form, sliding up slightly as she sat, though she didn't bother to adjust it, far too concerned with relieving some of the strain on her head. Her slender fingers lifted to rub her temples gently, her eyes closing as she tilted her head back to rest against that cool gym wall.

 

[esmeraldaflame]

Name: Esmeralda Mendoza
Age: 18
Height: 5' 6"
Hair: long, jet black, done in a high ponytail
Complexion: evenly tanned, white skin, brown eyes
Measurements: 54E-26-32

Esmeralda did not want to have to go to class today. She was tired, bored, and most of all pissed off. It seemed only the dorky, nerdy boys were the only ones who gave her any respect around here for the simple reason she was out of thier league. Everyone else seemed to lust after her. She'd just passed a group of football players who cat-called out to her and mimed groping her enormous tits. She decided to hide out in the gym. No one would be using it at this hour. She slipped inside, hoping no one would see her.

It was quite and empty inside the gym. Esmeralda started looking for a place to hide, when she spotted someone. For a second, her heart stopped. Then she realized it was only another student - the wierd one at that. Leah, was her name, the one never spoke much to anyone, never touched anyone, and really had little to do with anyone. What was she doing here?

What is she doing here? thought Esmeralda.

"Hey, Leah," Esmeralda called out. "Special Ed got cancelled today?" Esmeralda strutted over, puffing out her large breasts to show off her bust.

 

[Kahlanai]

So sensitive after her walk through the halls, being bombarded by the emotions of everyone out there, Leah felt Esmerelda's emotions before the door to the gym even had enough time to swing closed. Boredom, a little fatigue and an intense frustration. So intense that most people would have chosen to call it 'being really pissed off. That was the one she knew she had to guard against most of all. She didn't want to allow that to effect her, not now, not when there was someone who could easily provoke a response from her lips so easily.

As she watched Esmeralda walk through the gym, apparently searching for the same sort of solace that she had, she felt her stomach lurch uncomfortably, nerves rising within her and threatening to embarrass her further by making her physically ill. For a moment, she allowed herself to worry that this might actually occur but, eventually, she realised that it was an empty threat and allowed herself to relax, if only slightly. Leah hoped, though she knew it was futile, that the girl would move on, preferably out of the gym.

No such luck.

She looked up at the other girl as she spoke, trying to keep her face neutral, trying so desperately not to look like the crazy person everyone seemed to think she was as she tried to sort out all the emotions that swam inside her head. Leah bristled slightly as she heard the girl's taunt, and the frustration that she felt radiating from her raven haired peer only served to push her closer to making some snappy comment. "What?" She frowned up at the other girl, rolling her eyes slightly and shaking her head. "Look, I don't need this right now, okay?!" Leah snapped, surprised that she had even had the guts to do so, regardless of the emotions that had been force upon her. Part of her screamed at her to tell her exactly what was "wrong" with her, to defend herself against whatever taunts were about to be flung her way, but there was a larger or at least stronger part of her that was more interested in preserving her secret. If this girl found out, she was sure her secret would become public knowledge around the school quite quickly, just another reason for them to cast her out from their social circles.

 

[esmeraldaflame]

"Oh, I'm sorry," Esmeralda said mockingly. "Guess I should guard my tongue, eh? I wouldn't want you to come to school with a gun, now would I? I'd hate to be responsible for all those deaths. Especially with my baby brother in the Freshman class." She walked right up to Leah and stamped on top of her books. Her giant breasts shook as she walked. "What's your problem anyway? You're always so quiet. Upset 'cause you can't get a date? Is it because you're so plain? Flat tits, flabby stomach, and stick legs? Maybe your name should be Jane, as in Plain Jane!"

((is this a uniformed school, or a free dress school?))

 

[Kahlanai]

((free dress schools are always so much more fun! xD))

And there it was, the first signs of Esmerelda's mocking and taunts. Leah's narrowed her eyes, frowning up at the other girl as if trying to comprehend just how she could be so cruel. "What the hell?! Im not crazy!" She pushed herself up off the wall to stand, as she watched Esmerelda stomp all over her books, her ability to ignore that anger fading away quickly. "What is your problem?!"

That was it, that was all she could take. "I don't care about dating the people in this school! How could I possibly care when all you people do is tease and taunt when you know nothing about the people you're antagonising?!" Her blue eyes flared with anger now, her ability to ignore the anger she was feeling, both her own and that which Esmerelda was feeling, completely gone by now. "You know, for a pretty girl, you're really ugly on the inside!" Even in her haze of anger, she felt an odd sense of relief, relief that she was finally saying something that needed to be said, something she'd wanted to say for a while now. "Do you want to know why?! Why I can't be around normal people?! Why I don't date!?" She reached out, pressing a hand against Esmerelda's right arm gently, allowing the heady mix of emotions to flow through her fingertips, and for the first time in her two years with this 'gift', allowing herself to pass those emotions on to another person, just enough that Esmerelda would be able to recognise that those emotions were not her own, but were coming from Leah. Anger, boredom, annoyance, confusion and even some residual lust. After a moment, she dropped her hand again. "Do you see now?!" She probably has no idea what I'm talking about..

 

[esmeraldaflame]

At first, Esmeralda thought Leah was going on the usual things emos and goths went on about. Then the girl touched her. Suddenly, Esmeralda felt confused. A whole slew of emotions ran through her. She was angry, bored, annoyed, and, for some reason, very horny. She shook her head and stepped back, her stilettoes clicking on the floor. "Huh?" she grunted, shaking her head. "What's happening to me? I..." She looked at Leah again, unsure of wether to slap her, punch her, ignore her, or kiss her.

 

[Kahlanai]

When Leah saw Esmerelda's reaction to the emotions she'd forced the girl to experience, she felt her anger begin to fade away slowly, and guilt rise inside her, just a fraction. She couldn't quite bring herself to apologise, though. Not yet. "That's what I feel every day. I… I can't explain it." Or, rather, she could give a small explanation, but she wasn't sure she wanted to. And then, mixed with her guilt, there was fear, noticeable as it screamed at her, trying to stop her from saying anything more about this. There had to be some way that she could get out of this, some way she could just go back to being the 'crazy girl'. But now that the doors were open and she'd started to tell someone about her secret, she couldn't stop herself from spilling all, no matter how hard she tried. She felt that confusion that she knew Esmerelda was experiencing almost every hour of each day. "You're confused. You don't know whether to punch me, walk out of here or kiss-" She cleared her throat quickly, not wanting to use the word 'kiss' while she was standing there with Esmerelda. Leah knew, somewhere inside her, that there was no chance that she would avoid being taunted for that. "That's why I can't touch people, why I walk around here looking like I have a headache most days. I feel everything that other people are feeling. I'm not crazy, I'm just… empathetic. If my skin brushes someone else's, I need to concentrate really hard to avoid pushing all of that onto them." She muttered, looking at the floor for a moment, embarrassed about her 'gift' for the first time since it had manifested. She slid her hands back into her pockets, feeling her cheeks flush slightly, just a light pink blush, as she lifted her gaze to Esmerelda again, surprised that she was still there, and that she hadn't been verbally abused or slapped yet.

 

[esmeraldaflame]

Panic started rising in Esmeralda. There were too many emotions swirling around through her. She shook her head, as if that might clear it, but it did no good.

"Make it stop!" she whimpered. "Make it go away! Please!" Above all, she was scared - scared of Leah, and what she could do with her "powers". Ordinarily, she would have laughed, but now that she could feel emotions not her own, she knew she couldn't pretend Leah was a nerd lost in her own secret world of anime, comics, and fantasy novels where she'd lost touch of reality. This was all too frightening.

 

[Kahlanai]

Leah's eyes widened slightly as Esmerelda whimpered, begging her to make it stop. It was so familiar to her, the fear and the need to make it all just go away. Unfortunately for her, however, she was never able to make it stop. Not for herself, but she could try to take it all away from Esmerelda. No matter what she'd done or said to Leah over their high school years, she couldn't torture her by forcing her to deal with emotions that were not her own. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!" The guilt finally flooded over her and she took a small step towards Esmerelda again. "Just… stay still, okay? I'm not going to hurt you or anything." She was far too kind hearted to feel anything but guilt for putting Esmerelda through this. After allowing the other girl a few moments to process what she'd said, She lifted both of her hands, placing her soft fingertips lightly to the sides of Esmerelda's face. "Don't move, okay?" For a moment, she stayed there, close to Esmerelda with her fingers pressed lightly to her skin, until she thought that she had managed to remove all of those emotions that she needed to. "Okay, is that better?" She asked, her fear now biting at her heels as she realised what had happened and how Esmerelda would react.

 

[esmeraldaflame]

Esmeralda stood stunned, at a loss for words. The alien emotions were gone. She stood in shock, staring at Leah, trying to process what had just happened. What was this girl? Esmeralda was at a loss for words. Had she really used some sort of wierd psychic powers to flood Esmeralda with emotions, then take them all away? What was going on.

Esmeralda felt weak in the knees. She slumped down to the floor, her breasts heaving as she panted, trying to regain her composure.

 

[Kahlanai]

That feeling of impending physical illness began to rise in her stomach again when Esmerelda slumped to the floor. Leah's immediate reaction was to run, to just get out of there before she could do anything else, make any more stupid mistakes. But, at the same time, she knew she couldn't just leave the other girl sitting there, scared and confused. She lowered herself to the ground too, sitting on her knees in front of Esmerelda, biting her bottom lip for a moment before she finally said something. "I'm really sorry. I just got… I got so mad. And I haven't told anyone about this, and you were saying all those things… and I just wanted someone to understand. I wanted someone to know i wasn't just some crazy goth chick." She thought for a moment, fighting back the prickly rise of tears, before she held her hand out again, placing it briefly to Esmerelda's upper arm, careful to ensure that she wasn't allowing any of the emotions to transfer to her again, though she did feel a strong dose of the other girl's confusion. "Look," She began, lowering her hand away again "I don't do it all the time. It only happens when I get mad or distracted. I'm really, really sorry I put you through that. I promise not to do it again." She felt awful, and she felt a couple of tears break past and roll off her cheek, though she quickly swiped a hand across her eyes. There was another short pause. "It's just hard, you know? Keeping the secret from people. And you… you make is so hard to cope. Every time you're around, people go.. stupid. People can't think straight. I have to feel everyone's lust for you, every time. I just…" Somehow, she didn't think anything she said would make any of this any better.

 

[esmeraldaflame]

Esmeralda looked up at Leah. She was calming down a little bit now. She looked up at the other girl, suddenly feeling overwhelmed with pity. She didn't know why. Perhaps it was because for that terrifying instant, she knew what it was like. There was also curiousity. This girl could sense what Esmeralda knew every boy, and freaky lesbian girl was thinking towards her. It was curious to know what she made of it.

"You just what?" Esmeralda asked softly. There was no malice in her voice, only placid curiousity.

 

[Kahlanai]

Leah felt that wave of pity radiating from Esmerelda. She didn't know whether it was worst than the fear, or better. She hated that people had to pity her or fear her. It was one of the reasons that she hid her secret so well. She just want to be normal. "I guess.. you know what it's like. In a way. I mean, you have to know how everyone feels, and it must drive you crazy to think people can't look at you as anything more than someone they'd like to get in the pants of, you know? It's been the same with me for the last two years. All people think when they look at me is that I'm insane, or secretly planning to kill everyone because I have strange, gothic ways or something. It's driven me crazy that I couldn't tell anyone the truth about my.. strange habits." As long as she was on the path of confessions and truth, she figured she may as well go all the way. "You know, when people thought I was crazy because I kissed that random football player earlier this year? That was not because I wanted to. It was because his bloody girlfriend shoved me and, because of the skin-to-skin contact, I felt all the things she wanted to do with him, magnified. It was just lucky that I managed to realise what was happening or it would have been rather more embarrassing." She laughed quietly. "I think you're just lucky that I've learned to control it all a little more now. I probably would have kissed you at some stage if I hadn't." She realised how that may have sounded and her cheeks flushed. "I mean… because every one else out there in the hallways has a similar urge when they're near you. That and worse." Not that she herself did not find Esmerelda to be a very attractive young woman, but, until now at least, her abrasive personality had all but taken care of her perception of the other girl. After a slight pause she bit her bottom lip slightly. "You..uhm.. you won't tell anyone about this.. about me.. will you?"

 

[esmeraldaflame]

Esmeralda fought the urge to want to reach out and touch Leah. In lieu of these revelations, that would not be wise. It would be akin to exploiting Leah's weaknesses.

"No," whispered Esmeralda. "I won't tell. No one would believe me anyway." She was a bit surprised Leah was telling her all this; especially the part about feeling the same lust that consumed all boys, from the dorks to the jocks. A vague thought entered her mind: what would it be like to get kissed by another girl? Especially one who lusted over her?

 

[Kahlanai]

A wave of relief washed over Leah when Esmeralda's whisper snaked it's way to her ears, promising her that her secret wouldn't be spread throughout the school like wildfire. She supposed the other girl was right, who would believe such a crazy story? She was sure that the only reason Esmerelda believed her was due to the way she had been forced to experience it herself. Leah knew she would never be able to do that to the entire high school population, nor would she want to. She hated that she was able to do it at all, hated that she had done it to Esmerelda. She'd never be able to live with herself if she'd done it to everyone else. Her abilities didn't extend that far, anyway. And then her relief was tainted by something else, something she quickly realised was coming from Esmerelda. Mixed with the remnants of her confusion as she tried to process what was going on, Leah could feel her curiosity. While she couldn't read where that curiosity stemmed from, as she was no telepath, she wondered if it had something to do with the idea of Leah kissing her. All the talk of the lust she was forced to endure every day made it harder to ignore, pushed the lust she could still feel faintly, snaking from all the people in the school at the moment closer to the forefront of her mind, and she wasn't sure whether her next action was driven by that or a desire of her own. It was always easy to blame you own lust on something or someone else anyway. Leaning forward slightly, she allowed her lips to brush over Esmerelda's lightly, just barely touching her, trying desperately to control the flow of emotions, not wanting to force them onto Esmerelda all over again. While the force that had encouraged her to take this action was not totally clear to Leah, she managed to recognise that she didn't want to force anything onto Esmerelda. Thus, she placed one soft light kiss to the other girl's lips and waited, prepared to pull away, fighting her urge to run away as it began to grip her all over again.

 

[esmeraldaflame]

Esmeralda's eye's widened when Leah kissed her, both in shock and surprise. So this is what it felt like to be kissed! It was very light and delicate. Esmeralda had only ever been kissed by her parents on her cheek and forehead, and occasionally by her baby brother (also on the cheeks, though only after bugging him about it). Those kisses were brief pecks. As for herself, the only kisses she'd ever given were to her family members, also light pecks on the cheeks and forehead. She had never before kissed or been kissed by anyone on the lips before, much less a girl. For a brief second, Esmeralda was confused. For one thing, she was actually enjoying this! Her heart was pounding faster, and she kinda didn't want this to end. But did it mean she was a lesbian for wanting it?

Esmeralda decided she just didn't care. She'd always dreamed about her first real kiss, but she was too disgusted to solicit it from any boy. A girl seemed more harmless. Forgetting Leah was an empath, Esmeralda reached up and grasped Leah's cheek, and deepened the kiss.

 

[Kahlanai]

Leah wasn't the sort of girl that people wanted to lock lips with. Being 'crazy' meant that people, boys and girls alike, were more interested in keeping away from you in case you did something insane than showing any sort of affection. She'd only had one real kiss, before her life had been interrupted by her stupid 'gift'. All the ones since didn't count, not as far as she were concerned, because she'd been acting on other people desires rather than her own. It had been at sixteen, right when she'd first discovered her gift. Needless to say it had been interrupted and highly uncomfortable when she'd pushed her nerves, her confusion, her excitement and all her other conflicting emotions onto her then-boyfriend. Naturally, that had been the end of the relationship. And, if she were to be honest, she would admit that she was scared to get too close to anyone. Afraid that she'd force all of the emotions that she had to endure onto them. No doubt that would put a huge dampener on any relationship.

It was her turn to be surprised, but pleasantly so, when she felt Esmerelda's hand cup her cheek gently as she deepened the kiss. It took Leah a few moments to realise what was going on, during which time she was so engrossed by the kiss, her own heart racing, that she'd let her concentration wander slightly. By the time that she had realised that Esmerelda had placed that hand against her cheek, Leah wasn't sure whether she'd remained in control of the emotional transfer or whether she'd let that control slip and pushed something on to Esmerelda. She still wasn't quite sure about her limits there. For a moment, she thought against pulling away, maybe she could act like there was nothing to worry about, but being the kind-hearted girl she was, the kind-hearted girl with the secret worth worrying about, she pulled away from their kiss gently, biting her bottom lip as she looked at Esmerelda, fear clear in her pretty blue eyes as her fingertips lightly grazed the back of the raven-haired girl's hand. She knew she should probably have moved her hand away before something she would regret occurred but for some reason she didn't want to. "I'm sorry! I didn't… I didn't do it again, did I?" She couldn't help but remember what happened last time she'd chosen to kiss someone.

 

[esmeraldaflame]

"Do what?" asked Esmeralda. Suddenly, she found Leah very attractive - she couldn't put her finger on it, but for some reason Leah seemed at that moment to be the sexiest thing alive. Being the center of so much attention for her massive tits, Esmeralda was too busy defending herself to bother gauging who was hot and who was not; but now she found herself staring into the eyes of the most beautiful girl in the world.

"Kiss me again." At first, it sounded like a question, but Esmeralda meant it more as a statement. Without waiting for a response, she leaned in, and locked lips again with Leah.

((what's your character's measurements?))

 

[Kahlanai]

Relief, again, when Esmerelda questioned her about what she thought she might have done. She opened her moth to say something, to explain, but closed it again. Obviously she hadn't transferred anything, at least, nothing wholly unpleasant, so she decided to just let it go. No doubt, if something happened, if she did lose her control and release it all, Esmerelda would make it known. At least she knew what it would feel like now. Blinking a few times, blankly, as she heard Esmerelda's question - or was it a request? - her mind raced to process it. Before she had a chance to respond, however, Esmerelda's lips captured her own again and she found herself respond immediately, pushing into the kiss, deepening it somewhat. Slightly more relaxed about this than she had been originally, especially considering her triumph with the lack of emotional manipulation with the last kiss, she allowed herself to raise one of her hands, placing it gently at the base of Esmerelda's neck, pulling her into the kiss softly.

The anger and annoyance from before had all but dissipated, replaced by more positive emotions. Elation at finally being able to kiss someone she actually wanted to without someone else's emotions getting in the way or her ability ruining it, relief at having finally told someone what she went through daily, and even a gentle case of nerves. But it was all good. All positive. Except for, perhaps, that near constant baseline lust that, no matter where she was, seemed to radiate from one person in the general vicinity, but she was becoming accustomed to ignoring that one.

Who'd have thought it would feel this good? That she'd enjoy it so much? She'd never expected that she'd ever so much as have a nice word from Esmerelda, the person that everyone else in the school wanted too, let alone a kiss. She didn't want to stop, and she'd completely forgotten that they were still on the floor of the school gym, one unlocked door away from being interrupted. Nothing seemed to matter. Swept up by the kiss, the tenderness and the taste, she allowed herself to take a bold little action, flicking her tongue across Esmerelda's lips gently, almost teasingly, following her instincts and what little she'd been able to learn from her spontaneous kisses with various members of the school population since her abilities had awakened.

(oops, I forgot about that xD 37D-25-36 ))

 

[esmeraldaflame]

((cool, tits almost as big as Esmeralda's))

Esmeralda was filled with the desire to keep up the kiss. She didn't know why. If she'd been thinking straight, she might have questioned why she was suddenly drawn to Leah. It wasn't like her to normally be so attracted to anyone in this way. Yet she couldn't deny she was greatly enjoying this. She reached out with both hands, and placed them on Leah's shoulders. Then she slowly and sensually slipped her arms around Leah, and pulled her into a warm embrace, cuddling the other girl against her massive breasts.
