Opening Day [OPEN]

[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. ]]

"Well, if I have time, perhaps I'll take up the mantle. What's the phrase—pass it forward?" Remilia smiled, standing and lifting her bags again.

"Regardless, again, thank you. It's been a wonderful refresher from moving in."

[thirdarrow]

"It's the least I could do." He says this with a smile and a nod, moving to clear her empty teacup.

"Have a good evening, Miss Remilia."

[kamiizumi]

How much are you looking at using, here?

[Ice gets heavy. do you even lift, feliks.]

[kamiizumi]

[Leo lives a life where that is a general hazard, so it doesn't actually ping him as terribly morbid so much as keepin' it real.]

That's what someone to watch your back is for, isn't it?

[batteredbatter]

"I... what?" Koshi was confused too. He couldn't really figure out what was going on, since that definitely wasn't the definition of "club" he'd learned. "...wait, like a bat?"

Yeah, this was a disaster.

[friendofdorothy]

Politics! Beast Boy had found the one subject guaranteed to make the normally taciturn Liir open up at least a little. He rubbed his beardless chin.

"More...primitive, you might say. There's still places where they think we're witches, things like that. Less so in the more industrialized parts. But the prejudice is more from a desire to exploit our talents or peasant backwardness than hatred of mutants per se."

[tiamaris]

"....The animal or the tool for baseball?" he asked because yes he had read about baseball, and seen it on TV, but... had never played it. To his mind the word tool worked as well as any other he could easily come up with. He hated being confused...

[tofudog]

Haha, this guy talks like a total brainiac. Who even says 'per se?' Beast Boy isn't even sure what it means. He's impressed and amused in equal parts.

"So they're not gonna be blowing up mutant school anytime soon, but only because we're too useful or too scary?" It doesn't sound great, but that still makes it better than this country just a few years ago. "Where is it, anyway? Europe somewhere?"

Being ashamed of his ignorance doesn't even occur to him. Why would it?

[niepokonany]

If they're not, you can probably whine someone into letting you change it. It's not like we don't have a ton of rooms open right now, right?

And yeah, definitely! Most people are in one combat class, at least. It's really good stuff to know!

[niepokonany]

Huh? I don't know. Like, how much do you think we have?

...I wonder where Toshirou is.

[toycommander]

I can cook a little bit, but mom didn't like me being in the kitchen, so my skills are really limited there. I guess everyone's got their own things they're good at.

[realmenknitplushies]

[He caught ... half of that? It kind of swept over him. Regardless, he nods, a little thoughtful by comparison to his norm.]

Huh. Didn't know 'bout that bit, man.

[upatbat]

Yeah, I guess so, but I've never had to have one before. I just made sure not to get caught.

[She shrugs. She doesn't really have anyone like that, though, so she only gets in an abstract way.]

[stardustreverie]

I can do that. I'll use my powers for good for now.

[Note the for now.]

[eternalprincess]

Well, you're already better at it than I am...

[stardustreverie]

Thanks. I heard ya were teachin' so good luck with that.

[Knowing both of their luck? They'd end up in the same classroom. But she has already promised to tone it down if she did get Remilia as a teacher.]

Well, they'll get used ta it or they'll learn in time.

[stardustreverie]

Not tryin' ta make them do anythin' they don't want ta. If they aren't ta be X-Men, fine.

Nothin' says one can't have a bit of fine.

[stardustreverie]

"That I am. 21, College student and a X-man. Long reputation there."

A smirk..Although she isn't mentioning Master Prankster.

[hearmyfeels]

Of course! One step at a time! [She spins back to the machines, running a hand over the knobs and peering at all the settings] After all, this looks complicated.

[friendofdorothy]

Liir grew up among old books and incomprehensible, disturbing experiments. It'd be strange if he talked any different.

"Yes, I suppose so...It's in the North Pacific, between Hawai'i and Alaska...Where are you from?"

He's not making small talk. He wants to know where someone could grow up and not know where whole countries are.

[knowitallgoddess]

With a game like this, you can pick whichever one looks best to you. That's the beauty of party games.

[knowitallgoddess]

To be honest, I haven't really thought that far ahead just yet. It just sounded good in my head.

[kamiizumi]

The icemaker in the freezer didn't look that big. And people might want to use it for something other than dumping on themselves.

[kamiizumi]

No Plan B?

[batteredbatter]

"Uh, the baseball one... but where did you even get that from 'club week' though?" asked Koshi, still not sure how the conversation had gotten here. Then his face lit up in a smile and he grinned. "Oh, are you thinking of joining the baseball team?"
