::The landlord opens the door to a modest apartment with a double bedroom, a living room, a bathroom and a seperate kitchen. He glances around, looking paranoid for a moment, before relaxing. No, he didn't leave them in here. Turning to Aniya with a lewd smirk, he hands her the keys and grins.::

"One penthouse."

::And without waiting for her reaction, he pinches her behind on his way out.::

::If it's not a penthouse, Aniya doesn't notice; it's big enough. Annoyed by the landlord's disrespctful behavior, she slams the door behind him and yells something equaly rude. With an exaggerated groan, she sets her keys on a nearby table and quickly moves into the kitchen to wash the sticky filth off her hands.::

(At least this place doesn't smell like the office or that grimy old man.)

::Aniya then proceeds to take a tour of her apartment by looking through the cabinets and drawers, jumping on the beds, inspecting the shower and fridge, etc. She also finds her bags and luggage stacked neatly in the corner of her room; how convenient! She eventually moves back into the bathroom and strips herself of her clothes. She then turns on the water for a shower and steps back to wait for it to get warm. Aniya glances into the mirror and stares at her reflection while she waits, the memory of Erin and her demonstration of her new power briefly coming back.::

(Hm... I wonder if it's true. I'll try it out after I wash. I need it.)

::With that decided, Aniya steps into the shower.::

::Aniya takes a quick shower as she is a little pumped up to find out if everything with her guide to her demonstration to jumping through a portal was some kind of dream or not. As a result, she soon finds out that she's left a bit of conditioner in her hair but none of that really matters as Aniya moves closer to the mirror with a towel wrapped around her body. She whips her hand on the foggy mirror and opens the door, eventually revealing a bit of her own reflection. With a smirk, Aniya takes a deep breath and lifts her hand to the mirror, concentrating on becoming her own counterpart. That is exactly what happens when her fingertips sink through the glass, going on through to the other side.::

(Oh my god! She was telling the truth... I am magical!)

::Aniya slightly shakes her head and waits until the mirror clears up a bit more before going on. She slips her whole arm through and then moves on to climb up on the counter and actually step into the mirror. Somewhat shaking with excitment now, Aniya takes another deep breath and glances around the realm, gripping her towel tightly.::

"This is too freaky."

::With a hesitant grin, she eventually reaches out and tries to touch the reflction of the shower curtain.::

[She can touch it but, oddly, it remains unmoveable. This'll be the case for everything she tries to touch at the moment, but keep at it. You don't need to bold your posts, but TPTB will post when you gain a new ability.]

::Aniya slightly frowns when her attemt fails and drops her hand to her side with a sharp slap as her palm collides with her bare thigh. She barely notices it; she's still too caught up in the thought of actually possessing a power. After a couple moments of staring at the tropical island curtain, the stubborn woman tries to touch it again but only ends up with the same result.::

(Damn thing! What's the use of having a power when you can do anything with it?)

::With a groan, Aniya moves out of the mirror and steps onto the counter only to slip in the water she left behind and falls to the ground below.::

"Fucking stupid.... shit!!"

::She blurts out and stands up to rub her backside. Aniya eventually gets dressed and makes herself look decent enough to go grab a bit to eat because there's absolutely nothing her apartment. Grabbing her keys, a few bucks, and locking the door behind her, Aniya makes her way out into the streets.::

[The entire apartment complex blows up. Fire destroys everything and kills anybody left inside: the explosion is far too violent to expect any survivors. Debris and plaster flies everywhere, and the noise is deafening. The building is destroyed and left in a flaming wreck.]
