A change of scenery
From foggy London to sweltering New Orleans. It was as much a culture shock as it was a shock to her senses. To Yankee Clipper's too, if the grumbling mews coming from the pet carrier meant anything. She was in total agreement with the cat - it was too damned hot.

She set the carrier down in front of a door and checked the address. It was correct. Hopefully they had something cool to drink for the both of them. She took a breath and knocked.

"Well, the mud pie has to be seen as both an objet d'art and as a weapon... Um. Maybe it's a good time to explain that I'm a sculptor and a terrakinetic."

"Terrakinetic....you can manipulate earth?" That sounded a lot more interesting than having a kinetic field that kept her from enjoying night clubs, malls and anywhere else that crowds formed.

"Yeah." He calls a handful up from his sand table and builds a little castle in the air. "It's pretty cool"

Jenny's jaw dropped just a lot. "That's incredible."

"Thank you!" Corey says cheerily. "It's all in the details, really. The parapets took lots of practice."

She looked closer. The parapets really were a work of art. "May I ask a silly question?"

"Is it just earth or can it be something sand-like, and have you considered entering a sandcastle building contest? I've read about the ones in California and they seem pretty fantastic."

"I can do sand. And oh, I've seen some of those pictures. Beautiful work! Never done any but local ones in Brazil, though."

The 'local in Brazil' caught her attention before she could explain what she meant. "You're not from around this hemisphere then. Is anybody on the team actually from New Orleans or Louisiana?"

"Nope. We all met up in New York, chased a bad guy down here, and... it's a nice place. The climate was more like home for me than New York, and there was a good creative-arts school, so that's why I liked the idea of staying."

"It seems like a nice place. I'm looking forward to real jazz and great food. I really will need to find a furniture store, too."
