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. ]]

"Fine enough."

It isn't a lie, not any more than it usually is. Hijikata's gotten accustomed to the words, and they come forward easily and without thought.

"Getting some reading done, while there's still any peace and quiet."

"I see."

Caelius is an emotionally perceptive sort of person, but even so, he didn't know Hijikata well enough before—before things happened to be able to say whether he's just distant by nature, or if there's something more to it. The answer might not be any of his business, anyway.

"Perhaps I should leave you to it, then. I didn't mean to have disturbed you."

It isn't unusual for his intentions to be misread, which isn't typically a thing that bothers him. But it strikes him that his comment -- a thoughtless one, from the part of his personality that he constantly plays up to shield the rest of it -- seems to have made the other man uncomfortable, which it at odds with his own goal, a moment ago, of helping him relax.

"If you were disturbing me, I'd have made it quite apparent."
