[astonishing_xmods]

WHO: EVERYONE

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. ]]

"Yeah, I like, got in to DC a couple of days ago and hung out with my parents a bit, but I was totally out for like, half the drive up here, so I'm pretty awake now!" It's a long drive, after all -- 6 and a half hours, in good traffic and without stopping for anything.

"Anyway, I thought he was coming today? I don't remember exactly, though. He'll be here soon, either way!"

"Well since he's last, first drink is on him, then," Reimu chuckled, pushing off of where he was leaning and heading inside. With no offer to help Feliks with his stuff, of course.

[niepokonany]

"I'll have to get something classy for the first one, then. Like, something expensive!"

Not that his taste in alcohol was very varied. He was a vodka man, through and through, and didn't care much at all for mixed drinks.

He followed Reimu inside -- if he'd been carrying more, he might have dumped something on him to carry, but it didn't seem worth the effort for what he had left.

"So? How was your summer and junk?"

[musou_tensei]

Reimu groaned, rubbing the back of his head. "The diet's been on my ass to register. And I'm like... well, hell, MOM never did, why should I have to? I'm not Sunfire or anyone that big of deal, you know? It's a pain... plus I'm pretty sure I have a fanclub back home now. Mostly teenaged girls. They kept coming to the shrine and taking pictures while I was doing chores." He was starting to wonder if he should have taken up wearing a mask or something.

[niepokonany]

"Sounds like a serious headache." Thankfully, while his own homeland was hardly an all-accepting utopia, it hadn't come to that yet. There were some politicians pushing for registration, but enough opposed to keep the idea in an eternal deadlock.

"I don't have a fanclub, pretty sure. At least, I don't think I do?" He played with his hair, idle and cheerful. "But like, with all the activist stuff I do, you know, trying to get information out there or whatever, the media can be kind of a pain." To say nothing of the humans on the street who recognized him from morning news interviews about his projects and newspaper photos of protests. They were rare, but it had been known to happen -- though one or two of them had shaken his hand, a pleasant surprise. But if one more interviewer asked about his personal life, he was going to toss them right out a window.

"I think it's kind of a Japan thing. I remember Yukari telling me that some talent agency wanted to make mom into an Idol, even though she couldn't sing. Or dance. Or act. But she had a look they wanted and you don't get better press than superheroing, I guess... It's really annoying. People want to market my image. It feels... cheap." Reimu sighed.

[niepokonany]

Something about that mental image amuses Feliks, as annoying as it sounds. He snickers a little as they walk along.

"Well, if they're gonna try anyway, you could make the best of it? You could like, do a calendar of fanservicey pictures, like the firefighters and stuff do over here!"

[musou_tensei]

"Hell no. The moment I indulge them, I lose any and all hope of privacy. It's bad enough the stalk me at the shrine." Reimu groaned.

[niepokonany]

"I was kidding, dude. Chill, it wasn't serious!" Feliks nudges slightly at his side, still smiling at his own thoughts.

"You're just gonna have to drink them off your mind with me and Fai, right?"

[musou_tensei]

"I plan on it. I plan on drinking incredibly irresponsibly. Captain Morgan and Gentleman Jack can both kiss my ass." Reimu huffed. He definitely was eager to get a start on this newish chapter of his life and leave the frustrations of home behind.

[niepokonany]

"I'm so down with this plan. Like, I'm considering the night a failure if I can walk home without help!"

Responsibility: really not a concept Feliks has embraced, so far.
