[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. ]]

"I mean, that could totally have been a thing. He did look kinda smug." But he did that anyway, sometimes.

"And... no, not so much? I just, like, haven't met anyone fierce enough to handle me yet!" He smiled, bright, used to that lie. "I go on dates sometimes, but I'm still looking around."

[anythingwithstrings]

Fai's general default was smug. Figuring out the actual smugness from the presentation of smugness was the issue.

"Well, I was frozen for five years, so there aren't any real updates on my dating situation. You have to have better than 'dates sometimes.'"

[niepokonany]

Feliks knows the difference, instinctively. He knows Fai better than several actual telepaths that they've been acquainted with.

"And I don't know, none of them were really worth telling you about? There haven't actually been any second dates so far, that's how lame most of them were."

Not a single second date. He's 22 now.

[anythingwithstrings]

"Most? Not all of them? What about the ones that weren't lame like 'most?'"

Word choices, they matter. Maya's very big on what people say. And she was looking for a better explanation for 22 and no second dates is.

[niepokonany]

For a few moments, he really tries to figure out if there were some of them that he would classify as 'less lame'. He considers this for as long as he can stand to (a few seconds), then shakes his head.

"Okay, all of them were lame!"

[anythingwithstrings]

"Stop going out with losers."

Practical advice from a practical girl whose had zero luck with boys in her life.

[niepokonany]

"God, don't think I haven't thought about it."

He makes a little face. Not going out with guys he thinks are losers would mean really conspicuously not going out with anyone, and like, that would look like giving up, wouldn't it?

[anythingwithstrings]

"Then why haven't you done it, doofus."

Waiting isn't giving up, its waiting.

[niepokonany]

God, he wishes he were talking about anything but this.

"Oh, you know -- like, they say someone's out there for everyone, you just have to keep looking, right?"

Try not to think too hard on that. Feliks does!

[anythingwithstrings]

"If it's that narrow odds, I probably missed them during my little nap. And now their dating me would be illegal."

So you have no room to complain about this topic of discussion.

[niepokonany]

"What, like there are no guys your age now? Maybe you didn't meet them before because they used to be too young!"

[anythingwithstrings]

"It'll be very hard to meet boys while I'm out with friends if all my friends are five years older than me so I can't go into clubs with them."

Nothing but practical.

[niepokonany]

"So we'll take you out to stuff besides clubs! Like, I heard there's a pretty rad music festival coming up soonish. And we'll always have the mall, right?"

Feliks might be 5 years older now, but he doesn't look it, isn't a teacher, and is blond enough to pass for her relative anyway.
