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. ]]

They look delicious! [He quickly clasps his hands together and bows.]

M-My name is Haruka Kokonose! And I'm a grade ten student on my first day...May I please have a cookie!

[knowitallgoddess]

You can call me Palutena, Haruka. And I'm a senior.

[She paused to look at her cookies for a moment before nodding.]

Sure, you can have one.

[drawitagain]

[It's in his mouth in the blink of an eye.]

Mmf...Thank you...[munchmunch] so much...Very tasty...

[Upon finishing it, he shows the most delighted smile, like a child on their birthday.]

Your cookies are amazing, Palutena! I can tell they're baked with lots of love!

[knowitallgoddess]

Awww, thank you. I certainly did put every ounce of love I could fit in them. You're welcome to as many as you want.

[Apparently, compliments will get people really far.]

[drawitagain]

[Haruka looks kind of incredulous at that.]>

A-As many...as I want?

[Mrrrrr. His stomach grumbles loudly, as if writhing in anticipation.]

Are you sure that's okay...?

[knowitallgoddess]

I'm sure. Just...try not to eat yourself sick. I'd feel pretty bad.

[drawitagain]

When it comes to my stomach, there's no such thing as eating yourself sick! [He scarfs down another cookie.]

Thank you for being so nice! I wasn't expecting to get free cookies from an older classmate on my first day...

[knowitallgoddess]

You've already made my day too. If you ever want something, you're always free to come to me.

[And maybe she has another Pit on hand.]

[drawitagain]

[After popping another cookie into his mouth.]

Will do! I guess you've been here for a while, huh? Do you have any tips for someone like me? I'm kinda having trouble getting used to it all...Well, the cookies I could get used to, I think.

[knowitallgoddess]

Tips, hm?

[That's a tough one.]

The only thing I can say is have courage and faith in yourself. That and make sure you do your best.

But that's all pretty generic, isn't it?

[drawitagain]

There's nothing wrong with generic advice! It's still nice to hear it coming from a real peer of mine! [Munchmunchmunch.]

And such a good baker, too! I wouldn't be surprised if baking scarily delicious cookies is what brought you here in the first place!

[knowitallgoddess]

Ah, well, you've experienced my Absolute Cookie Zone. In it, I can bake cookies like 30 possessed grandmothers.

[drawitagain]

That's amazing!

[knowitallgoddess]

It'd be amazing if it were actually true.

[drawitagain]

[Frowny face.]

I got so excited too...

I was blinded by the possibility of being friends with someone with cookie powers.

[knowitallgoddess]

You're always welcome to pretend. It'll be our secret.

[drawitagain]

[He just smiles at that.]

Would you mind if I asked you what really did bring you here?

[knowitallgoddess]

Oh, is this one of those 'I'll show your mine if you show me yours' questions?

[drawitagain]

If you want it to be! I'm sorry if it's nosy...I'm just really curious about everyone here...

[knowitallgoddess]

My powers aren't really showy. As a matter of fact, you can't see them at all. But what I can do is give other mutants the ability to safely surpass their limits. When I help someone out, I think their powers double in strength.

[drawitagain]

That's really cool though! You're like...a megaphone! I think that's a really awesome thing to be capable of...

I bet a lot of people want to be your friend, huh!

[knowitallgoddess]

I won't lie and I hope everyone wants to be my friend. But I can't read minds and know what people are thinking.

[drawitagain]

Well, I don't see why they wouldn't! You're one of the nicest people I've met all day!

But I know what you mean about your powers not being showy though. Mine are pretty basic too. I'm just, my body is strong, I guess? I can lift things and run pretty fast, it's nothing special.

[knowitallgoddess]

You see, I think that's pretty amazing. It's just like Heracles.

[drawitagain]

H-Heracles? [Waves his hands about frantically.]

Oh no no no, I'm nothing like that! All I'm really good for right now is lifting boxes and stuff like that...Which is fine! I'm happy to be the honorary box lifter!
