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. ]]

"I wasn't saying I minded them." Though even those, he minded less when they were... quiet about it. He really wasn't made for working with children, though remembering some previous colleagues, he could have been worse.

[seduceme]

"You mentioned 'avoiding' them~"

Eventually she wanders back with her fresh coffee, happily inhaling the fumes as she sits again. "Seen any familiar faces amongst the students so far?"

/ultimate backtag, sobbb

[koukai_kirai]

"Hm." He supposed he did mention it, at that. But just because he didn't want to talk to someone didn't mean he didn't like them alright, did it?

"One or two. Mostly the ones who never left, a few just waking up."

shhhh /soothes

[seduceme]

"Mm, those ones are going to be difficult," she notes, thinking back on her short encounter with Toushirou in the gardens the previous day. "Something tells me the counselor is going to be very busy."

She frowns a bit at the thought because she knows she's required to see him regularly herself.

[koukai_kirai]

"He was bound to have his hands full here, anyway."

Even if it weren't for the Phoenix Incident, it's not like the majority of the school is lacking traumatic backstories.

[seduceme]

"I 'ope 'e gets a raise."

[koukai_kirai]

"He deserves one. Possibly a medal, too."

[seduceme]

"A trophy for each month 'e survives."

[koukai_kirai]

"An epic, written in the name of his deeds."

[seduceme]

"A ballad to glorify his efforts."

[koukai_kirai]

"It seems only fair."

Seriously.

[seduceme]

"It's the right thing to do."

See? She can be agreeable.

[koukai_kirai]

"I'll leave the balladeering to you and your sense of righteousness, then."

As if Chris had one of those. He floated the collected ball of their smoke up towards an open window, as he came to the end of his own cigarette and withdrew a pocket ashtray to stub out what little remained.

[seduceme]

Hey, she has one. She just ignores it mostly. Being something of a hedonist makes that surprisingly easy.

She follows suit with disposing of what little remains of her cigarette, focusing more on her coffee as she checks the time. "I think Wagner would be better suited to songwriting than me."

[koukai_kirai]

He takes up his tea to do likewise, catching that little glance to the clock.

"Not the creative sort? That's a surprise. Somewhere to be today?"

[seduceme]

"I 'ave many talents, but songwriting is not one of them," she answers in a somewhat lofty tone. "And non, no where to be, but one can't 'elp but wonder when the noise will begin."

[koukai_kirai]

"You know it's going to start sooner or later. Best to enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts." Because it wouldn't last long.

[seduceme]

"You know, sometimes you make me feel as though I'm back in a war zone again," she snorts. "The eve of battle~"

[koukai_kirai]

"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers..."

There's no hint of a smile in his expression, but one who knows him well enough can guess.

[seduceme]

"For 'e today that sheds 'is blood with me, shall be my brother~" she recites back at him. "Then again, given some of our students are more than capable of levelling the entire school, I suppose it's not too far a stretch."

[koukai_kirai]

"Well." He sounds pretty resigned to that, as he gathers his things and stands -- at peace with it, even. "We'll just see about it, if it comes to that. I'll see you around soon enough."

[seduceme]

"Fight the good fight," she answers, giving him a mocking salute with her coffee.

[koukai_kirai]

Without a look back or a word, he returned the salute, and went on his way.
