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. ]]

Oh, Mr. Wolf. Hello.

[She looks up at him. Fortunately, the basics of setting the room up have been handled for her, but there's a few things left...]

Would you... like to help me organize my books?

[whosafraidofthe]

Sure. [He offers her a calm smile.] Just tell me how you like them set up.

[And then he pauses holds up the cigarette carton.] Do you mind if I light up in here?

[He bets she does, but he can hope.]

[frigokinetic]

Alphabetically by last name will be fine for now, thank you. [She will probably do more sorting on them by topic, but having to describe every single book to Bigby would probably not be worth all the effort.]

[She considers this for a moment, and then walks over to open a window.]

Go ahead.

[whosafraidofthe]

[He gives her a grateful nod and lights up, pausing to focus his nose on the smoke before picking up a book and starting to sort them.]

How's your first day so far? [He mumbles after a moment.]

[frigokinetic]

Hectic.

[Elsa says this with a quiet sigh; normally she would go for something along the lines of "fine, thank you," but she's just grateful to have someone to vent to right now.]

I'm sure it will get easier as time goes on. But now, it's all very... unfamiliar. [Not to mention people keep walking up to her and casually try to get chummy with the queen of a country. There's just so much do not want in those situations, and they occur far too often.]

[whosafraidofthe]

It does get easier, that much I can tell you.

[Although he still prefers hiding when he doesn't have to be near people.]

At least everyone's been nice, I hope.

[frigokinetic]

Yes, they have.

...Unexpectedly so.

[She says the second part more quietly, as if unwilling to let anyone else (even Bigby) hear.]

[whosafraidofthe]

[He picks up on it, wolf hearing at all, and it makes him frown.]

Can't think of any reason they wouldn't be...

[frigokinetic]

I don't...

[What's she going to say? "I don't trust Americans to not be super-aggressive assholes?"]

...I've been on edge, because of the coverage.

[whosafraidofthe]

[He perks up.]

Well, people here know your situation better than the media. We've all been in awkward spots because of our powers.

[He's still pretty sure freezing your entire country is better than eating half of its population.]
