A boy of twelve with blonde hair and dressed in gym clothes can be seen here. There are balls of various sizes in front of him. One of them is levitating as he reaches out towards it with his hand, concentrating hard to lift it telekinetically.

The loud noise causes Siemko to lose his concentration. The ball falls to the ground and the uncontrolled psychic energy scatters the rest around him. Embarassed and startled, he looks around for the soure of the noise.

The source of the noise shouldn't be too hard to find, considering it repeats every fifteen seconds or so. Before long, Siemko will probably get to the firing range, where Boris is practicing with a bolt-action rifle.
Siemko peers at Boris from around a corner. This man is wielding some really scary weapon. He's really curious, but also rather intimidated, so he doesn't say anything yet.

Boris wearing ear protection, so he doesn't notice Siemko until the magazine of his rifle is empty. As he moves to reload, he notices the child from the corner of his eye. "If you're going to watch, you may want to protect your ears somehow."
"Um, should I? I've never seen this kind of weapon before," the boy says timidly. "Is it magic?" Although there is gunpowder in his world, he's never seen it. It's in early stages of development and not very widespread.

"My father told us about how you and Lord Adir destroyed the demon that had been tormenting us. Then it turned out my uncle Wenomir is here as well. And then we found out I was psychic and now Sir DC is going to train me," Siemko says, still quite excited.

"You've taken to the Nexus quite well, it seems." Boris doesn't know the first thing about psychics, so he just settles on vague praise. "How did you learn you were psychic?"
Siemko looks uneasy.
"Weird things started to happen to me. I got headaches and I moved stuff around without touching it So Uncle Wenomir said I might be psychic and that Sir DC should look at me. I had no idea what psychics are until then."

Siemko shakes his head.
"No, sir. There are no psychics back home. That's why my father had no idea what to do with it. We were lucky Uncle Wenomir knew who to ask for help."

Siemko nods. His uncle has been here a while indeed, and he seems to have seen many things the boy shouldn't hear about.
"Who else lives here?" he asks.

There's a strange looking young man running around the track here, huffing and puffing as he goes. Not counting the antlers jutting from his skull, the runner looks to be just shy of six feet, favored with lean muscle and tan skin. His eyes and ears are deer-like as well, but otherwise he's a normal-looking human being.
The time of year doesn't seem to bother him much, as he wears only a pair of track pants and some sneakers to keep himself warm. Cold sweat glistens on his bare skin, and you can see the stag's breath when he stops to catch it. He bends, sucking air and cursing, before starting to run again with a groan.
Adir's always been a bit athletic. It comes with being one of the fair folk. The ability to run long distances, however, does not. Sure he could beat some run of the mill human, or at least he's pretty sure he could, but his brothers and sisters back home are a different story. And there's no way he's gonna lose to those bums.
Main Room
Cornelia, the scarred young lady with the bone-white hair, sits here. She's glaring intently at a small mechanical soldier, as if trying to discern something. She gave up talking to it a long time ago.
The soldier just looks back, perhaps amused, and not at all intending to help her along. It might not've been able to if it wanted to.

that sense of time that sense of space

"Not a great many people live here, most of us sort of come and go." Boris lists a few of the people whom he's met that actually live in Watch, which pretty much amounts to KR and Kirlia.
"Oh. That sounds a little strange." Siemko is used to people staying in the same place for a long time. "Uncle Wenomir told me and my father about the woman named KR. I think I'd like to meet her at some point." Even if she sounds really scary. "Doesn't Master Adir live here, though? The one who helped you save our village."

"Adir used to live here, but he moved into his own place with his wife." I'm not sure if Boris knows that Adir has a daughter now. "KR doesn't talk much, but you get used to her."
"Hey, kid, whatcha doin' out here?" Asks a light, slightly accented voice. Adir's walking over from the track, having finished for the day, and looks to be in a fair mood. He's still breathing hard, but it's subsiding. "Are you a, uh, member?"

The boy turns around when Adir speaks. He's pretty tall for his age, and rather lanky. He's got sand-colored hair and green eyes. He's wearing a simple white shirt and jeans. There's a very faint family resemblance to Wenomir, mostly in the bone structure.
"Uh, no sir. I'm Wenomir's nephew and Master DC is teaching me to be a psychic," he says.
