[astonishing_xmods]

WHO: EVERYONE
WHAT: Mingle/Figure out Room Assignments/Meet old friends again
WHERE: The whole campus.
WHEN: September 1st, 2018
WARNING(S): None. If anything goes into warning territory, please create a new log for it.




For all of the newcomers, welcome to Professor Xavier’s Institute of Higher Learning! For all of our returning students and staff, welcome back! Once Professor Xavier’s welcome speech wraps up, it’s time for everyone to get themselves situated in their dorms and, more importantly, get to know your fellow mutants! Even if you’re not sharing rooms, you’ll still be sharing the same campus with each other, so don’t be afraid to get used to all of those new faces! Or even catch up on old ones! You have options; don’t be afraid to use them.

[[ ooc: This is the general mingling post for all of our characters to get settled into their rooms, get to know each other, reminisce with old friends, all that jazz. The log will be split into multiple locations. ]]

What we're going to play is the funnest multiplayer game ever, Super Bash Sisters. Surely you've heard of it.

[knowitallgoddess]

Feel free too. Flattery will get you very far.

[knowitallgoddess]

Yep! And that's why I'm glad to be here. I'm sure, in the end, things will work out for us.

[realmenknitplushies]

[Shaking his head-]

Nah. I've looked around a bit but I ain't seen a lot.

[kamiizumi]

"I think half of us are here to learn about what's weird, and half of us are here to learn about what's normal."

Leo? Very firmly in that second category. Turtle mutants leaping from roof to roof is old hat, but algebra homework, on the other hand...

[kamiizumi]

It's...pretty different so far, but I didn't go to school at all until here, so I guess I'd be saying that no matter what.

[vulgarcrocodile]

"It's something to work on. At least you know you can form animal appendages while still being in human form." Now he will just have to work faster at doing it so he can catch up to it. She's not allowed to be better with her own power than he is.

"So. You want to head to the old skating rink after we've had a few days to settle in?" He takes his phone out of his pocket and snaps a picture of her with cat ears as he says this.

[scorchedchivalry]

And inappropriate on the first day. The majority of these students will not follow in your footsteps and join the X-Men.

[scorchedchivalry]

"I am a knight. It is impossible for me to not be a shield for those that need defending," she replied. "This school already possesses instructors. And unless it comes to the sword, I am not qualified to train."

[knighterrantofthedragon]

Alric chuckles at that.

"...well. I've found 'normalcy' to be a very subjective notion. Somewhat overrated, as well. But yes, I suppose I see what you mean."

[scorchedchivalry]

"I do not have many friends, Briget," Arturia continued on as if it wasn't an awkward moment. "I am not... the most compassionate of people these days. I will not turn your friendship away, but I do need to keep somewhat of a distance from everyone."

[scorchedchivalry]

No. I was just going out for a walk.

[Arturia paused, watching Flandre for a moment.]

Are you alright?

[scorchedchivalry]

The shame in his voice cause Arturia to soften her gaze just the slightest. It might not have even been noticed.

"Whereas I understand that, it is important to remember that the greatest injustices occur when good men do nothing."

[gloriousandfree]

"Well I knew I could become Amelia, wings and all, but I sort of thought that was just becoming Amelia you know. And god, yes, I would love to. It's not the best but I miss i--"

He catches her in middle of stretching and she drops her arms, startled for a half second before her mind catches up.

"Hey! No one said pictures were allowed, give me that!" She scrambles to get his phone, "I know your password, I can just delete it later you know!"

[vulgarcrocodile]

Kaito holds is phone just out of her reach. "And I can send this to everyone you know at the school so there will be other copies of the picture." She never said pictures were allowed, but Kaito would have still taken a picture of her even if she said that much.

"It's just a cute little picture of you. Nothing to worry about." He goes ahead and texts the picture to a few of his emails so those copies will be safe. Then he turns the phone to her so she can see what she looks like with the ears.

[gloriousandfree]

She loathes his longer arms, this is hardly fair. Harassment. Even on tiptoe this doesn't work and she grabs his shoulder to hoist herself a few precious inches higher.

"Hey--who are you texting that to--Kaito!!" When it finally turns towards her, she turns pink and immediately shifts back to normal.

"I look like a bad halloween costume. Delete it."

[vulgarcrocodile]

"It's only in my personal stash of photos. Don't worry, I'm not going to send it off to anyone." He would need to hide it in a more secret place, though. He doesn't want her getting into his e-mail accounts and deleting those copies.

"And it's only you that thinks that. I like the way you look with the ears. I only wish you did the tail too."

[gloriousandfree]

"Your personal stash of photos is a worrying term. What else is hidden in there besides terrible photos of cat ears."

She reaches for the phone, studying the picture. At least she got the color right, it looks like she imagined.

"...Do you have a fetish I should know about? Should I be worried?"

[vulgarcrocodile]

"No, I don't have a fetish." If he did, then it was good that he was with someone that could help him indulge in it.

"There may or may not be some pictures of you when you were curled up sleeping next to me so cutely."

[gloriousandfree]

"Good to know. I suppose. It doesn't make your desire for a cat tail any less weird."

But it does make her a tiny bit more likely to indulge it. She contemplates it for a moment before she's distracted again.

"Wait--what? No--" Her cheeks are burning and she turns on her heel because really, she's 23, silly pictures of her shouldn't be so embarrassing.

"Maybe I'll go sleep with Amelia tonight. Maybe you won't get a chance to take pictures of me when I'm too asleep to stop you."

[vulgarcrocodile]

It's so cute, though. Kaito loves that she can still get so embarrassed like this over silly pictures. He's grinning so big right now.

"Don't be like that, Maddie. It's not like I have shown them to anyone." Maybe that would make her feel less embarrassed about it. "I bet she thinks you look pretty cute when you are curled up sleep too."

[gloriousandfree]

She shakes her head and if she had anything to throw over her shoulder at him, she would. She settles for a piece of bark she pried off the tree and turns to shake her finger at him. This is not effective at all.

"I don't think that makes it better. Not that it's the same thing at all."

[vulgarcrocodile]

It's a good thing he doesn't mention any of the other photos that he may or may not have of her.

"I would say I would let you take an embarrassing photo of me, but I don't think I could get as embarrassed as easily as you do." Maybe if she made him wear a frilly pink tutu or something.

[gloriousandfree]

She knows other photos must exist but since they were not spoken of, their existence is hypothetical and they cannot bother her. She huffs and crosses her arms, raising an eyebrow.

"I feel like these things are not at all equivalent, no."

[vulgarcrocodile]

"Then what would make it better? Keep in mind that I'm not going to stop taking pictures of you nor will I delete the ones that I already have."
