| @ivyannnelson | 323 words | [attr="class","edreynolds"]“That would be… yeah, incredibly awkward. Or imagine if they were really great but snored all the time!” Knowing Ed’s luck, that’d be exactly who he ended up with.
Ivy laughed at his retelling of his power discovery, evidently amused by the mental image of Ed’s skull colliding with the ceiling and his subsequent inability to get back down straight away. She seemed even more amused by the idea of it happening again.
“Oi, don’t stab me with pins!” he protested with a laugh. “I’ve figured out how to stop myself from flying away now, thankfully, but I’m glad to hear that your first instinct is to burst me like a runaway balloon.”
Ivy joined him in grabbing some pizza for lunch, entrusting him with the drinks while she took it upon herself to carry both their food trays. Ed decided to be very sensible and hold the drinks high up in the area, swaying his arms dangerously above Ivy’s head until he chickened out – aware that he could actually accidentally spill them all over her if he wasn’t careful. Ivy probably didn’t want to ruin yet another pair of trousers.
“Does your mum make her own pizza? That’s cool, my mum just buys the frozen ones, but there’s nothing like a good takeaway pizza, I think.”
This canteen pizza was definitely a good alternative though. Just greasy enough to be satisfying without leaving a puddle on his plate.
“How long have I been at EMBA? Only like… a week or so. No one here has been here very long and, yeah, nah, sorry, I think we’re pretty much in the middle of nowhere from what I can tell.” Ed shrugged. “There’s games and TV and stuff in the common rooms but that’s about it, I think. Just a whole bunch of forest to get lost in! And the lake, of course, which might be worth checking out for you at some point.”

Ed protested when Ivy suggested popping him if he floats to high. She was only playfully teasing him. He teased back saying he felt safe knowing that her first thing to do was to pop the runaway balloon. When eating their food Ed asked if her mom made pizza because she had mentioned that her moms pizza was better then the school pizza. "Yeah, she does, its very good! Love it!" Ivy said as she went on to explain how it was made "She makes a thin crust, but its not round, she sticks it in a brownie baking pan, dribbles olive oil on it, then tops it with a cheese mix, mostly mozzeralla, I like it when she adds pepperjack to it, then any meats and veggies, she makes it different each time, then topped with hand made sauce, oh my, my mouth is watering just thinking of it! Maybe she can send some priority mail and then you can try it, its good even left over, but the fresh stuff is to die for!" Ivy smiled. She frowned when she heard that the school was far away from any city and or shopping and entertainment. Ed tried to reassure her that there was plenty to do and that she should really try out the lake. At that suggestion, she told him only he he kept watch over her towel and clothes. giving him a playful eyeing. "I'll make sure to have a bigger towel this time." She started to laugh. "Let's go burn some of these calories off." Ivy ask Ed as she cleaning up the table like if she was at home. "So you said you have been here about a week, what's it like being here and such? what subjects and how do they work with us to work on our abilities or powers what ever people call them." Ivy continued "I do not think of myself as having a power, but what I can do as an ability, do you know what I mean?" Tag: Ed Reynolds

| @ivyannnelson | 462 words | [attr="class","edreynolds"]In a bit of a state of pizza-overload, Ed sat and listened to Ivy talking about pizza while filling his face with pizza and imagining how much better the pizza would be with some sausage on it, and maybe a little barbecue sauce.
“That sounds delicious!” Ed wasn’t sure what pepperjack was, but Ivy’s enthusiasm made it seem like it was a nice addition. “You should definitely start guilt-tripping her – say you’re home-sick and the only thing that can help is an ungodly amount of homemade pizza.”
He grinned. “Also – pineapple on pizza, yes or no?”
Ed felt a little awkward at the suggestion that he keep watch over her clothes. He’d been trying to forget about the fact that her power usually left the lower half rather naked, not wanting to feel sleazy. “Maybe you need a whole bunch of hairdryers too. Can you get ones that don’t need to be plugged in?” He shrugged – his own hair maintenance routine was lazy at best. “But yeah, I can guard your stuff if you need it,” he laughed. “Or that could make for a long walk back to the boarding house.”
He checked his watch as Ivy suggested burning off calories. Still 20 minutes until Science… and it wasn’t like he had any qualms about being late anyway.
“Where d’you wanna go?” he asked, following her lead in tidying the table.
As they cleaned up, Ivy suddenly came out with a whole bunch of questions. He paused for a moment, thinking of how to answer. “It seems okay, so far,” he said with a shrug. He didn’t want to lie and say he was having the time of his life, quite frankly he was still dealing with the separation from his family, but there was nothing inherently bad about the school itself. “Feels like school, really. Normal lessons – the whole ‘not going home’ bit is weird to adjust to, but it’s not too bad.
“As for working with our abilities, I haven’t had that yet – I think you work with an individual mentor but I don’t know if that’s been set up yet. And yeah, powers, abilities, same difference. Power feels more superhero,” he added with a grin. “But whatever feels comfy to you works. Just don’t refer to it as a burden.”
Ed rolled his eyes at that. In the wake of the Event, there had been some people in the news who had definitely been negatively impacted by their powers, and after that you’d hear attention-seekers trying to claim that they too were suffering the ‘burden’ of a power (when in fact they had nothing to complain about). It just fostered further anti-metahuman sentiment, in his mind at least. And he’d had quite enough of that, thank you very much.

"Pineapple on pizza? You must be mad! Heck no!" She protested to Ed "Pizza is like one of my favorite foods, but I can't have it as often as I would like because I have to keep thin so I can do my proformances." Ivy then had an idea. "Let's go to the lake, right now!" Ivy was not joking. "Oh come on, it will be fun, I promise." Ivy egged Ed on to show her this lake. On the way down, Ed had told her about the school and the lessons and such. It was interesting that this was a new school. Ivy was impressed with the grounds, it was groomed well and was surprised at how quite it was was, one could here the gentle breeze sifting thru the tree tops, the chirping of different kinds of birds, you could also hear crickets, frogs and other noisy bugs that come out as the sun just begins to set. Once at the lake, her mouth dropped open and an "awww" escaped her lips. "I love it!" She exclaimed as she went up to but was careful not to get to close. "I could see myself down here a lot, it's well away from the school, enough so to have a privet dip, but more so for studying and just relaxing." Ivy would tell Ed. "SO, how would you like to see something? Something I could do even before the "Event"?" Ivy then bent backwards and started to walk around Ed like that. Standing back up she bent forward and stood on her hands, bending her back backwards so her feet were just above the grass, then she did an air split while she in her hand stand, then she walked about on her hands before laying down on her belly and bending her legs over her head so her butt was just about to touch her head, she dangled her feet, all while smiling at him. Standing back up normally she asked him what he thought of her contortionist abilities, one that she was self taught in and wasn't affected by the "Event" luckily for her. tag: Ed Reynolds

| @ivyannnelson | 376 words | [attr="class","edreynolds"]Ed raised his hands. “I see you’re clearly very passionate about keeping your tropical fruit and your Italian food separate. Which is fine. Now, me? I like a good Hawaiian every now and then to mix things up, but you can’t beat a classic meat feast for pizza toppings. Especially if there’s a bit of spice to it too – delicious!” He kissed his fingers with a flourish.
“So you’re still keeping up performances while you’re in school? What do you do, like, record them?” Ed could hardly imagine she could just casually leave the school grounds all the time.
He nodded enthusiastically. They could make it all the way down to the lake and back before the end of lunch, and it didn’t look about to rain. “Cool, yeah! But I hope you don’t fancy a quick dip because I am not carrying you all the way back to school!” His arms would probably fall off.
Ivy seemed delighted by the school grounds, particularly the lake. He was worried for a second as she drew closer to it but she held back from the edge so there was no risk of a sudden splash of water. Ed didn’t know how much it took to trigger Ivy’s transformation, but he wasn’t willing to test it out.
“It is nice,” he agreed. “Chilled.”
He wasn’t going to pretend that he’d be doing much studying by the lake. He wasn’t going to pretend that he’d be doing much studying, full stop.
It was one thing for Ivy to have told him about her career as a performing contortionist, but it was a wholly different kettle of fish to see her show off her strength and flexibility in the flesh. Ed wasn’t even sure he could touch his toes or hold a handstand, let alone do all this at the same time.
“Bloody hell, that’s so weird!” he exclaimed. “Doesn’t that hurt at all? I’m sure it’s not normal for a human to bend their spine in half.”
“I’m afraid I don’t have any secret talents of my own,” he confessed. Unless you counted a knack for Mario games and a somewhat adequate level of competency at the bass guitar which, compared to Ivy’s tricks, didn’t seem quite the same.

"Yes, yes, fruit belongs in fruit salad and not on pizza in any shape or form" She teased with a playful smile of her face. "So would you put pepperoni into a fruit salad, Ed?" Who in their right minds would do such a thing she thought to her self as the pair walked and talking together.
"Am I still keeping up performances here? Well, I do not know yet. I was going to ask if I could, I haven't had a chance to even ask if it's ok to have a cell phone here." Ivy told Ed, she was serious this time, the laugher had stopped and her once cheerful face took a stern look to it. "I hope I can, the money I make making videos is going to help pay for college and goodness knows how much this place will cost my parents." Ivy told Ed "It's all I really know for the past few years, up to a year ago I did everything, but now with this stuff going on, I have to hide that side of myself, the side that reared its head during the "Event" that changed us, changed me."
Ivy walked ahead and when they spotted the lake Ed told her that he was not going to carry her back to the dorms. Ivy liked Ed, joking around, they had some kind of connection it was not just that they were both a product of the "Event" but something real, honest and true. No it is not a boy, girl relationship but a friendship that was sprouting from shared hardship.
I loved the lake and was so happy that Ed was able to show her it. Ivy was careful to stay well away from the edge and then she showed Ed just what she could do and she didn't need the bloody "Event" to do it.
Ed looked like he was shocked at just how flexible Ivy was yelling out 'Bloody h*ll' and 'that's so weird'. He asked if it hurt at all and that is was not normal for a human spine to do that. Ivy assured him that it did not hurt and with practice almost anyone could do it. She offered to teach him if he was interested. He did tell her that he had no secrets like her.
"Oh really no secrets? no ghosts in the closet? ah come on, you must have at least one secret?" Ivy pressured Ed.

| @ivyannnelson | 380 words | [attr="class","edreynolds"]Honestly, Ed considered Ivy’s joke-proposal of a pepperoni and fruit salad with more seriousness than she’d probably intended. His gut reaction had not been one of total disgust, maybe because his dad had been a huge of fan of paring Parma ham with melon and so meat with fruit was not a foreign concept to him. It wouldn’t probably depending on the fruit salad, but…
“You know what, Ivy. I would give that a go.”
He said this with an entirely straight face, but he knew that she’d probably be disgusted by his words. That was fine – maybe one day he’d surprise her by sitting down in the canteen across the table from her and diving into a pepperoni fruit salad. The dinner ladies seemed cool, they’d probably make it for him. …Or report their concerns to student support services, maybe.
He considered Ivy’s prospects at keeping up with her performances. “Well if it’s only videos, I don’t see how they’d stop you. You could make some quality videos out here,” he added, gesturing to the grounds. “Considering we’re in the middle of nowhere, I’ve tested the internet connection and it’s actually pretty solid so you could definitely try!”
Ed wasn’t really sure why Ivy felt so strongly that she had to hide her ability from the world – anti-meta sentiment didn’t seem nearly so bad on this side of the pond. It was why he’d come here, after all (that, and the convenience of his dual citizenship and a slight misconception that America would be just like the movies). Still, he had no idea what it was like to be in the public eye, so he couldn’t judge her for wanting to protect her image.
Apparently “almost anyone” could learn to be a contortionist with practice. Ed raised his eyebrows. “Trust me, you’re better of trying to tie a knot in a wooden plank than get me to do that.” He laughed. “Those compulsory ballet lessons are going to be an experience and a half.”
She started pressing him about secrets and Ed shrank back, visibly uncomfortable. He pulled together a grin. “Nah, me? Totally normal. Well… as normal as I can be, I think.” Ed chuckled. He definitely couldn’t claim to be your average human being – but who could?

"Next time we go to the cafe, I dare you!" Referring to Ed's claim he would try pepperoni with fruit salad, h*ll Ivy would try it also, who knows it maybe the next 'big' thing and it would be because Ed liked pineapple on his pizza! "I do not know what the schools policy is on recordings here, I would want to check. I know I have to get written permissions from others who are shown in my videos, like if I was to have you in one, you would need to sign a release. It's called cover your butt insurance. Even though it's not solid clad but still it does help." Ivy explained to Ed that over the years of doing her stuff, people would claim they did not have permission to film them and all they wanted or even was looking for was money. Ivy learned the hard way in the begining. So after a second person claimed it. Her father hired a lawyer and had a permission slip drawn up. She is careful now where she films and who she films. loosing a couple thousands a clip on people who just want to get rich quick. Trying to build a college fund off her videos helps her parents and now that they have to have a lawyer in the mix, the money earned from those videos mean even more to her. Of course she isn't going to get rich off doing videos but when one can possibly go to college just off video money, that's nothing to sneeze at! Ed explained to Ivy that she would have more success in tying a knot in a piece of wood then trying to teach him anything she does. "Oh, you think so?" Ivy smiled. "Come here, stand in front of me." She waited as he stood in front of her. Ivy put her hand on his hips and instructed him to bend backwards with his hands over his head and when he sees the grounds have his hands touch, laying his hands flat on the ground. "There, you are now in a back bend, try to walk like I did." Ivy said to him. When it came to the secrets, he may not have any now, but life has a way of puting ghosts into everyone's closet and it was only a matter of time. Ivy would think that to her self. Tag: Ed Reynolds

| @ivyannnelson | 408 words | [attr="class","edreynolds"]While Ivy didn’t seem to gag at the idea of Ed sampling some pepperoni and fruit salad, she also seemed to consider it enough of a challenge to be the worthy subject of a dare. Ed was quite happy to try it, in fact, but he was always willing to push his luck.
“Okay, I will – what’s in it for me if I finish it?”
He was happy to do it for free, but now that Ivy was daring him he might as well try and get some kind of profit out of it.
The talk about having to get written permissions for her videos wasn’t entirely surprising if Ivy was as famous as she seemed to suggest. Ed would have reassured her that he wasn’t about to sue her – Americans were way to fond of that, in his experience – but he was sure that she could already tell that he wasn’t the type. “It sucks you’ve had to learn that the hard way, but at least you know now. Feel free to recruit me if you want someone to stand in the background and look cool.”
He flipped his hair, looking decidedly not so.
Ivy seemed to think she could somehow extract a human with any degree of flexibility from him which, while admirably optimistic, was a fool’s game. Still, he did as he was told, standing in front of her and raising her hands up into the air. She simply told him to bend backwards, hoping for a miracle.
Ed’s body couldn’t betray its own physics. As he leaned back, she announced rather prematurely that he was in a back bend. Instead, Ed’s feet slipped out from under him, his spine refusing to curve back with any level of enthusiasm, and he shot downwards. His power kicked in, suddenly forcing him up, and Ed spun a little in the air as he rose 20 feet into the air before regaining control and floating sheepishly back down to earth.
“Nice try, Ivy, but I think I might have to sit this one out. Or take a much slower approach…”
He was sure he could do it in time, but definitely not like that. Ivy’s approach assumed a certain level of strength and flexibility that Ed’s years playing the bass and sitting at the computer just didn’t provide.
“Who knows, maybe ballet will whip me into shape.”
He pulled a face. That was certainly going to be… interesting.

"What's in for you?" Ivy repeated what Ed said. "Well, Hopefully not food poisoning." she teased. "You can watch me swim, how bout that?" Ivy asked with a playful smile. Ivy was really hoping he wouldn't try that but if he did, she would too, it would be a fun challenge to boot. Ivy could tell that Ed had a sensitive side of him when he showed concern with the video permissions saying it sucked and all and told her to feel free to add him to the background to make her video's cool. Ivy smiled and poked him lightly jokingly. "Thanks I will keep that in mind, but I want 'hot' videos, not cool ones" Ivy again teasing him as she stuck out her tongue at him. Ivy liked Ed, he sure made a good friend and was very happy to have met him, was there something else between the two brewing? Maybe. . . Ivy had made an effort to try to teach Ed about contortionist. It was the first time, she failed to help someone do such an easy move. Ivy watched as he floated abit in the air. "Where is my pin when I need it the most?" Ivy playfully yelled out to Ed. Ivy told him "I guess your position would just be laying down on the ground and doing nothing, that's no fun! Silly boy stop floating around and get back here now." she gestured with her arms to come back "Ballet, will be good, for both of us, it would be neat to see you in a leotard!" Ivy began to laugh "Your still going to look like a lanky puppy just, just what?" Ivy continued "Just cuter" Ivy blushed abit. Woo now it was clear that Ivy was quickly falling for the boy.

| @ivyannnelson | 428 words | [attr="class","edreynolds"]Watch her swim? Ed had been kind of imagining a Mars bar or something, but he didn’t want to just shoot her down, so he guessed he could work with that. It would be pretty cool to see a mermaid in action – and not just flopping around on the canteen floor.
“Ha, ’course, that works,” he said with a chuckle. “You realise it’s inevitable though, right? As long as the dinner ladies let me, and as long as they’ve got some pepperoni in the kitchen…” He frowned. “Worst comes to worst, we make our own, yeah?”
When Ed had imagined whipping up his own snacks in an American dorm with all his new classmates, he’d been imagining maybe popcorn… or even s’mores. Definitely not pepperoni fruit salad, and yet here he was fully prepared for what was surely a sin in the culinary world. At this point, he’d actually managed to convince himself it would be an enjoyable feast, which was probably the weirdest part. Luckily Ed had long ago accepted that he was always going to be a little weird.
“Hot videos?” he exclaimed, without really thinking. “What kind of videos are you making?” he added with a laugh. “Maybe I’ll hold back on the on-screen performance for now.” Ed could try to be a lot of things, but ‘hot’ wasn’t one of them.
The comment about needing a pin made him laugh as he came back to the ground, despite his embarrassment.
“Yeah, I can definitely lie on the ground!” he said with mock enthusiasm. “It’s the role I’ve been training for all my life, in fact.”
Ed was not quite so sure that he would look ‘neat’ in a leotard, in fact. He was pretty sure that he was going to die of shame the second he was even within ten feet of it. It was almost certainly going to be a crime against fashion, maybe even an actual crime in some countries. (Or maybe, just maybe, Ed was being a tad dramatic).
He tipped his head in confusion, unsure as to whether he should feel amused or insulted. “A lanky puppy? You what?” And then she blushed and added that he’d be cuter, and he realised what she meant.
Ed looked away, rubbing his neck. “Er, yeah. You know, Ivy… I get the impression that lanky puppies aren’t exactly graceful… So just try your best not to cry laughing at me.”
He was grinning as he said it, however. Ed was happy to make others laugh, even if it was at his own expense.

The fruit and pepperoni challenge was on. Ivy looked forward to beating Ed it. If one could eat menon and ham, she could handle pepperoni and fruit salad, right? Ed got concerned when Ivy was talking about 'hot' videos. Ivy faked a frown "Yo, my friend, it's not like that kind of hot, silly. Hot in terms of videos shared. I have quite the following!" she told Ed smiling now. "I'm sure you would make a great actor, you will have to give it a try." Ivy said. After he floated up and she made a comment about a pin and that he could at least lay on the ground, he said that, that was something he could do! That he was training doing that all the time. Ivy laughed as the way he said that. "Yeah right!" Ivy touted. "Yes, you are a lanky puppy, they are so cute, floppy and just lovable creatures." Ivy told him with a fun smile on her face. "Let's start walking back to the dorms, it looks like the sky is starting to get dark, we can come out here again tomorrow, I don't start school till the end of the week." Ivy started to walk away and as she did so, she added "I think I like you" She tried not to laugh but failed. Tag: Ed Reynolds

| @ivyannnelson | 340 words | [attr="class","edreynolds"]Oh, whoops, Ed’s mind had gone to a very different place when it came to hot videos. Ivy didn’t seem offended, however, and breezily moved past it. She was more eager to talk about her videos’ popularity.
“So… what is it you do in them? Just like, press record and then turn yourself into a pretzel? Or is it other things too?”
Ed couldn’t really picture them. The only things he watched on YouTube were music videos, let’s plays and the occasional vine compilation. Maybe a good cat video, if he was feeling vintage (although, really, funny cat videos are a timeless internet staple). He would undoubtedly have to check out her videos at some point – maybe he could ask Ivy to recommend some of her best ones.
“Mate, I cannot act. I can make people laugh sometimes,” he added modestly, “But I never really got the hang of acting. I’d still give it a go, of course, but I don’t think I was exactly born to be on a stage. Unless I’ve got an instrument to hide behind, I guess.”
He wondered if he could pull together any like-minded EMBA students to form some terrible little high school band. That would be a riot.
Ivy continued to teasingly compare him to a puppy. Her insistence was bordering on offensive at this point – Ed was fairly sure that he didn’t want to be seen as a cute and floppy creature – but she seemed to mean it as a compliment? He decided to avoid the comment, all the same.
“Yeah, I should probably get to my next lesson. We don’t have to hurry too much though, I’d hate to be on time for it.” Ed grinned.
Then, strangely, she tacked on a “I think I like you” followed by a quick laugh. He joined her laughter, a little confused. “Oh, that’s… that’s good? Glad I haven’t made an enemy of you yet.” He did his best to sound as ominous as possible, ruined slightly by chuckling at his own oddball humour.

"My videos are a bit of everything, there are alot of contortionist stuff, we did a how many pictures you can get in 10 minutes, we got kicked out of the mall by security, guess they don't like people balancing on the railing bending ones body over such rail with people gunking and snapping pictures, my photographer for that was impressed, he didn't charge me for the shoot that day, of course as long as he was mentioned in the video but hey, its still cool and its a high view count one also. People dig this kind of stuff. I was even thinking of mailing myself across country, those videos get alot of views too!" Ivy would tell him more of the guys that have mailed themselves, she laughed at the thought of doing such a video, oh but it would be fun too!
"So you can not flex and now you can not act, what good are you then? Rescuing wayward mermaids?" Ivy teased.
They started to walk back as Ed had a class to go to "I can not wait to start classes, I think I'm getting the schedule tomorrow or the next day? Someone is to give me a tour of the classrooms, I guess, I am not so sure of all the staff tour stuff, maybe my over protective mother again butting into my life from afar. Anyway." Ivy said with a bit of a huff in relation to the mother comment.
It was surly nice of Ed to rescue her from the cafe and spend the rest of the day with her, she really appreciated it. When she mentioned that she thought she liked him, his reply was 'Oh thats, thats good? glad that he had not made an enemy of her yet.' He chuckled abit.
"Again, sorry about the cafe, I did not mean to bite your head off, I am forever thankful for taking care of me and spending the day with me, thank you." Ivy said with a soft matter of fact tone to her voice as she looked towards him, wondering what he thought of her.

He still wasn’t entirely sure of the entertainment value of the videos themselves but he wouldn’t write them off until he’d watched them. Ivy at least seemed to have had a great time filming them – he assumed the “we” she mentioned was referring to her friends that also appeared in her videos. Sometimes Ed forgot that he wasn’t the only one who had left all his friends behind to come here, even if his separation was rather more indefinite.
The idea of mailing herself seemed a little extreme, however. “But… doesn’t it usually take at least a day to post something? How would you… you know…” Ed shook his head with a laugh. “I’m just putting it out there; cardboard boxes don’t usually have any sort of plumbing.”
Ed flexed, staring heroically into the distance. “That’s right, I’m a mermaid-saving Hero. I got you out of the canteen in one piece, didn’t I? Who needs flexibility and acting skill when you can rescue people you just spilt water all over?” Considering Ivy was probably the only mermaid on the planet, it was a rather niche market. Maybe best to reconsider his specialism.
“Eh, lessons have been okay so far,” he said with a shrug as she expressed her eagerness to start. “I’m sure you’ll get started soon, they didn’t wait long with me. Although I suppose I didn’t have my mum breathing down their necks, so maybe I just got lucky.”
He drew tiny air quotes. Ed would have been happy to lounge around for a few more days if he could have.
“Oh, yeah, nah, no worries,” he said with a wave of his hand. “I think anyone would have been a little shocked to have their lunch chucked all over them, even without the added bonus of turning into a mermaid. It wasn’t like I planned on doing anything exciting this lunchtime – a trip to the lake was a pretty good way to spend it, I think!”
