Club Week! [OPEN]

[astonishing_xmods]

WHO: Everyone!
WHAT: Club Week is underway, and now we have booths set up for people to really recruit and get their ideas out there. Several NPC clubs have been set up as well. Plus, once again, if you want to get in on some X-Men team building, now's a great time for it.
WHERE: The school foyer
WHEN: Wednesday after classes
WARNING(S): None. If threads go into warning territory, please make a new post for their continuation


It's about halfway into the second week of school. People are already starting to form friendships, build social circles, and embrace student life on the Xavier campus. The faculty has set up several booths in the foyer after normal classes on Wednesday in order for students to centralize recruiting for their various interest groups. Some familiar names pop up, of course. "Anime Club", "Chess Club", "AV Club", "Soccer Club", "Glee Club", "GSA Club", "Bible Study Club" and others. It's a pretty inclusive school, after all, so why not have a broad representation of interests?

As classes let out, students are encouraged to look around, get involved, and otherwise put forth the foundation of their social lives for the school year. And of course, there's always people looking to put together teams for other purposes, too...

[[ ooc: Feel free to make top levels for your own groups, or just post open top levels with no specific group in mind ]]

"...ah."

He pales and grimaces just a little at that response, caught more than a little off-guard, but he's still accustomed to grievances and disputes being expressed just a bit differently. He does recover his composure, though, by the time she's finished answering, or at least mostly so, and shakes his head lightly, hands slightly raised in an unobtrusively soothing gesture.



"...I apologize for the misunderstanding. I certainly didn't mean to bring up such an unpleasant matter, for you--only to acknowledge you for pursuing what I'd consider a wise course of action. ...I share your sentiments, however, and for whatever it's worth, I mean to make all efforts I can to help bring us all nearer to that world."

Of course, Alric's used to thinking of it from a national government's perspective: ensuring security's always a priority, even in the best of circumstances. But there's no need to lean on that point, considering the discomfort she'd expressed with it.

Maya did her best not to just get drowned in all the pain and loss she's had over the... well, she lost things even while she slept, so years. Her powers were a gift, her friends were wonderful, even the ones that weren't at the school. It was still hard, when good seemed to be forever overwhelmed by pain. And that all she could do with that pain is try to make something out of it.

"You didn't bring it up, it's just... there. Something I have to live with. It sucks, and I hate it, and I do this so that maybe some of the people that haven't had to deal with this crap won't have to." Which was foolish and probably going to give her an ulcer or something. But, what else could she do?

Those are some sentiments Alric can identify with just fine. ...but there's no need to bring all that up. At the moment, he's more concerned with her problems, and he smiles, reassuringly but restrained.

"...I.. appreciate the reassurance. ...and I find that admirable. Many people cannot take such a.. trauma, and be motivated by it to help others. I can only hope that I.. would do the same."

"It's really all I can do. If I were to just give up I might as well join the brotherhood. Or... start them up again if they really are gone, maybe with a better name."

Maya could never understand why 'The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants' was ever considered a good idea. It was just so... on the nose.

"...ah... well. I should hope it wouldn't require taking such drastic measures. ........although, yes, whatever their arsenal of powers might have included, a knack for public relations was clearly not on the list.."
