Hello Arcee.

This is Matilda. I'm sorry that it has taken so long for me to get in contact with you. It took a while for the librarian's to trust me enough to use the computers.

I spoke with my family and let them know about what happened. They are all pretty capable people but they are worried about the situation and would like to get to know you.

I hope this finds you doing well.

Matilda.

How did everyone who possesses powers here come to learn of them? Are they something genetic, or is it possible that some people are just born with them with no identifiable cause?

From what I've heard and read it really seems to be all over the board but I do not know how reliable my reading material is. I've never really had much cause to research it before. My family hasn't been particularly helpful with helping me figure out how all this works nor have they tried to find anyone who can give me some sort of direction.

[Partly because Matilda had not told them about her powers, but she already knows what their reactions might be.]

I've read up on the Trailblazers, but I don't qualify for them. Are there any organizations for people who are younger than that age group?

((ooc; Originally was going to have Matilda start out after her family had left her, but though I might do it a couple days before, just to get some CR before she is on her own. If any plans are made they might not pan out since Matilda will be homeless in about 3 IG days but at least it could get some CR rolling.))
