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. ]]

[From the way Leo says it, Shindou can guess he's probably not talking about going away to band camp. Still, he opts not to pry, giving a sober nod while he makes quick work of filling the bookshelf above his bed. Probably better to give the guy time to get the sheets on his bed, at least.]

Well...

If you need help finding anything around the school - or with classes or whatever else - you can ask. Most of the Mansion still looks the way I remember, from what I've seen.

[kamiizumi]

Thanks. I was thinking of taking a walk around the grounds once I'm done here...I don't like getting lost.

[Getting lost implies a failure of preparations. Getting lost sinks missions. Yes, Leo thinks of a lot of things in that framework; it's practically reflex at this point.

It's not quite an explicit invitation, since he's not sure if Shindou actually wants to hike around or if that's going to stir up the wrong thoughts at the wrong time. But he doesn't sound at all like he'd discourage company, either.]

[presto_turn]

Oh. Do you want me to show you around some? Once you get away from the Mansion, it can be hard to find your way at first.

[Shindou is not the most eager volunteer, but it's not like he has any other plans nailed down for the day. Whatever he does after unpacking, he knows it's going to end up amounting to a game of "How many people don't I recognize?" in any case.]

It's fine if you'd rather learn your way around on your own, too, though.

[kamiizumi]

I wouldn't mind, but I'm pretty used to having to figure this stuff out on my own, too, so it's not a big deal if you'd rather not.

[Leo is way too proud to assume he's going to get that lost on his own.]

[presto_turn]

Maybe I could give you the quick version of where everything is inside, and then you could check the grounds on your own?

[Because, yeah, that's going to end up being quite a hike. And, besides the fact that there are still things - more people, really - that he needs to deal with inside the school, he's not sure exactly what on campus Leo'd be interested in.]

There's a lot to see. I think the school owns most of land around campus, to help keep up privacy...

[kamiizumi]

That sounds good, thanks.

[He'll more than likely be taking the unorthodox route around the grounds, anyway, and that's easier done on his own.]

Do you know if it's fenced all the way around?
