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. ]]

[Working on stretching out the sheets and getting it all put on the bed properly!]

That's right. I come from Athens.

[frigokinetic]

I've always wanted to visit there.

Your mythology and architecture are very interesting.

[Because obviously she's read a fair bit about Every Country Ever, but didn't get to go there.]

[knowitallgoddess]

To be honest, I never really got to see much, outside of what I could see from my windows. So if you're jealous or anything, there's no need to be.

[frigokinetic]

Ah.

...Well, I couldn't tell you about my country either, except for what I've read and heard.

[knowitallgoddess]

Really? That means we already have a lot in common.

[frigokinetic]

Yes, we do.

What is your name? I am Elsa.

[knowitallgoddess]

Palutena. It's a pleasure to meet you Elsa.

...and make your bed.

[Said with a smile, just to let her know she's teasing.]

[frigokinetic]

My bed is honoured.

[She tries to sound cool and wryly amused, but it wobbles a little bit because what is humour.]

[knowitallgoddess]

As it should be! It's not every day an expert graces it with sheets.

[Awful.]

So what do you do for fun?

[frigokinetic]

I read.

[She goes on to list... nothing else, she realizes with dull horror. She reads. That's the only thing she does. Think of something. Think of something--]

...I also like making ice sculptures.

[knowitallgoddess]

Hopefully the weather will let you do that around here. You don't play video games at all?

[frigokinetic]

Oh, I... don't have to wait for winter.

[She laughs nervously.]

And no, I do not. My parents never let me.

[knowitallgoddess]

[All other thoughts are tossed out the window.]

Would you like to? I have most of my systems with me here.

[frigokinetic]

...I wouldn't be very good...

[This is all so sudden!]

[knowitallgoddess]

No one is good at things when they first start. So it's perfectly okay.

[frigokinetic]

Alright.

[She takes a pair of silk gloves from the table. If there are controllers, as she suspects, she'll most likely need them.]

Lead the way.

[knowitallgoddess]

Alright!

[Palutena leads the way up to her room but there's a pretty important question to ask!]

You said you liked books. What kinds do you enjoy the most?

[frigokinetic]

...Fantasy. Faerie tales, sometimes.

[You know, all the people who actually know how to use their powers.]

[knowitallgoddess]

Oh, those are really nice! I like stories of heroes myself and they're sometimes fantasy stories.

[frigokinetic]

Ah. Are those the kinds of games you play?

[knowitallgoddess]

I usually prefer multiplayer games like shooters or fighting games, actually. Sometimes, roleplaying games can be fun but I much prefer having fun with other people than just with myself.

[frigokinetic]

Perhaps we can do multiplayer.

[knowitallgoddess]

That was my plan! We can do something cooperative so you don't feel pressured.

god I just love that icon. Palutena you fucking nerd.

[frigokinetic]

That sounds good.

[And now we're in here yep yep. Elsa may be staring at the video game consoles with a mix of fascination and concern. They look like they're going to electrocute her...]

[knowitallgoddess]

....do you know how to hold a controller?

[Might as well start at the basics.]
