A New Day [[Open]]

[Panther]

Panther peeked in through the open doors of the gym, seeing it was empty she padded into the room. She was still barefooted, she hadn't gotten shoes since she arrived at the institute yesterday morning. Hours of uninterrupted sleep and a couple of good meals had restored her equilibrium, and she had finally shifted back to fully human. After breakfast Nightcrawler had given her the grand tour, and then left for parts unknown.

The gym was large, with an assortment of different sections walled off by large plastic curtains, which could be retracted to form larger sections. They were all rolled up now, and Panther looked about her as she headed straight for a line of mirrors that reached eight feet in height. She smiled to see this one constant in her life, a ballet studio. Or an approximation. She sat on the floor and began stretching.

The dressing room was quiet. Most people preferred to be hanging out around the pool when they had free time but Cham was a little different. usually, she went to visit her mother, but because she had recently awoken, she didn't have to do that as much. Of course, she still went down to check on the much loved teacher, but she had a little more free time now.

She changed into a pair of stiff white pants and a black and white striped tight 'under-armour' style shirt. If this where a full training session,s he would have gone with the full uniform, but because of her fathers prolonged absence, she usually trained by herself. There where few people that matched his skills. Even if those people did live in the mansion, she preferred to stick to one teacher. Unless it was a specialty trainer of course.

Cham made her way out to the gym where she found it was partly occupied. A single girl whom Cham did not recognize was stretching on the floor close to the mirrors. Now, one good thing about being the daughter of the two most known mutants, is that she pretty much knew every one who went to the school, weather they liked her or not. Because this girl was unfamiliar, she guess she was new.

Cham looked down at her hands to make sure she wasn't blue before jogging up to the older girl. Of course, it was impossible for Cham to sneak up, not that she was trying, but the mirrored walls definitely gave her away.

[Panther]

Panther's nose was touching her knee, and her arms were streteched in front of her, holding onto her pointed toes. Hair hung in her face, but the arrival of a new person did not go unnoticed. A reddish furred ear rotated, locating the tapping sound of shoes on the wooden and rubber floors.

She lifted her head and upper body slowly, before twisting to face the girl behind her. Her legs followed her upper body, curling themselves from a split position to a more relaxed cross-legged one.

"Hello." She curled her tail around her legs, looking up at the standing female.

**She isn't wearing shoes**

Cham watched silently as the girl before her released the tnsion from the streatch. She switched positions before speaking.

"Hello."

Cham nodded in reply, before sitting on the ground. "Zivjo." Though the word was foreign, the tone was not and it was easy to tell she was saying hello. She started to do some of her own stretching, never letting her eyes leave the other girl.

She was curious. Who was she and why was she here? When did she arrive and did she plan to stay? By the look of her garb, she was stretching to do some sort of dance. Hopefully that wouldn't create a rift. Cham wasn't much of a fan of dancers.

She dipped her head before speaking again. "I'm Chameleon." She disliked giving her full name to new students. She didn't want them to know her solely as The Summers' kid.

[Panther]

"Zivjo."

Panther tugged on her jean hems, looking down at her lap where she twisted her fingers around her tail tip, which she'd pulled into her lap. Her ears tried to hide themselves in her hair. Aside from her parents, no one had ever seen her with tail and ears before. Kurt had, but she'd been partially morphed then, where she felt more confident.

"I'm Chameleon."

"Panther." She said, looking up again and flashing Cham a friendly smile. She wasn't shy, just unaccustomed to her mutantness being apparent.

[[Oops. Put the "pad of bare feet" in there mentally then. ^^" And she's just wearing jeans and a tshirt. ^^]]

Cham stood a few feet away from the girl. She could tell be the way she let her hands fall to her lap that she was trying to hide something. Her mutation, most likely.

"Panther."

Having lived at the intestate her entire life, Cham had met plenty of people who weren't sure about their new abilities. With a soft smile, she closed the gab between them and bet down. "It is nothing to be ashamed of. Here, mutations are the normal."
