Opening Day [OPEN]

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. ]]

That was marginally more acceptable to Arturia. The attitude was rooted in her chivalry, but a lot of that now was from what was happening to her. She simply had bigger concerns than that of petty high school politics.

"I can try. A lot of it is the outlook I take regarding high school." A pause. "And I have had enough direct experience with anti-mutant sentiment to find a lot of high school concerns to be... trivial in comparison."

"I was homeless for about a year, m'self... But I never let on to anyone I was a mutant, so I guess to them I was just some vagabond kid. I'd use my powers when doing street shows, but everyone thought it was a magic trick, so it was just money in the hat and no hate going my way." He didn't really realize until coming to the school just how lucky he'd been, situation aside.

"Then you escaped the worst that is out there," Arturia pointed out. "Be thankful for that. The more you see... the more you experience, the harder it is to enjoy this time in your life. Sometimes all it takes is one instance, one moment, that changes your life and your future. It can turn you into a different person and take what is left of your childhood away."

She stared at her food for a moment, brow furrowed, before rubbing her temple. "Forgive me. I believe I began lecturing."

... "Is that what happened to you?"

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2014-09-06 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
"What makes you believe that?" Arturia asked.

"Can't say for certain. It's just a feeling I get when I look at you..." Bridget turned his eyes down again, going back to poking at his food. "It makes me want to be close to you. So you don't have to deal with it alone... Guess that's weird for someone you only just met, isn't it?"

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2014-09-07 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
It wasn't so much weird as much as it brought about an incorrect assumption. Arturia set her utensils down, wiped her mouth with her napkin, before turning to face Bridget directly.

"Bridget, whereas I appreciate your interest, I am not looking for a relationship at this time. I am sorry," she said as gently as she could.

Bridget's eyes widened. "Oh! Oh no no no! That's not what I meant!" Bridget tried to recover, but he was obviously put off by the misunderstanding. Completely red in the face. "I mean... I'd like to be your friend."

Those yellow eyes stared unblinking at him for a few moments before speaking.

"My misunderstanding then. Forgive me," she said. "Your phrasing was not what I expected from one seeking friendship."

"I guess I kind of messed that up... didn't mean to come on so strong," Ugh. Way to completely ruin the moment Bridget.

"Do not worry about it. I sometimes interpret things oddly," she said, going back to her food. "It is a... side effect of being a knight and my code of honor."

"Well, if it's no problem then...," Then he'd awkwardly start actually eating his food.

"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."

"That's alright. I respect people's space." Literally and figuratively. "But I stand by what I said before to. About not being alone."

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2014-09-15 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
"I do not know if that is possible." Arturia didn't want others to get hurt.

"Worth a try, isn't it?" Never count out Bridget's optimism.

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2014-09-15 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"...I suppose." Arturia didn't exactly have high hopes.
