[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. ]]

"Good. If you'll follow me. I'll page the janitor to clean this up." Xavier gave both young men a smile, backing his chair out of the room and heading down the hallway, expecting the two of them to fall in step behind him.

Koshi stepped out of the way of the professor and moved to follow him, though he paused to look and make sure Tiamaris was coming along.

"It's gonna be fine," he said with a smile, his nerves easing off.

[tiamaris]

He followed them, the scales clinking ever so slightly as he walked. he opened and closed his clawed hands, eyes orange, a bit more afraid again, now that they were in the halls where other people might see them. Might see him. Would any of them have a gun? He did his best to keep the emotions off his face, unaware that it took little effort; his eyes however... that was a lost cause, not that he had anyway to know it. His eyes were dull orange, right between red and gold.

Of course, having the world's most powerful telepath helped in that regard.

"No one will harm you. No one is even going to see us leave. Right now, we are invisible to all eyes outside our own."

[tiamaris]

He nodded slowly, eyes easing slowly towards a bronze that was dull, but more gold than orange at the least. He trusted this man. He had no clue WHY he trusted his man, given that nothing in his life had ever lent itself to his learning trust, and yet... he did. Maybe he was just so.. desperate... to trust. He wasn't sure. Maybe something about him reminded him of his uncle. Tiamaris wasn't sure, but he trusted that when he said they could not be seen, that they could not. He mildly wondered if they could be heard, but he did look around a bit. He stopped when he saw his roommate, and just looked at him a moment instead.

The boy... Koshi... he... hadn't run away, hadn't tried to kill him... he got help, for Tiamaris. And... he came back with that help. Tiamaris wasn't quite certain what to make of that. It was totally outside of his experience set in anyway that was not purely theoretical. It almost sounded like a concept he had read of once or twice, or for flames sake a million times. Something he had read about but never understood, not viscerally, and not even intellectually. Was this what all those books meant when they used the word...friend? He was... unsure.

It unsettled him, slightly, but then, much of this did. The world outside his father's house was far more vast and confusing than he had ever imagined. He understood far less than he would have thought possible, and he... did not like not knowing. He looked around again. But... this was a a school, right? A place where he would, in theory, learn?

To Koshi, it seemed pretty natural. Well, not the part where his roommate turned into some kin of lizard man or where the teacher he got was a super telepath, but other than that... if someone was having a problem, you got help for them, right? And you made sure they were all right an were actually helped. He might not actually be able to contribute much, but he knew he had to at least see this through and make sure his roommate got settled in. Besides, he'd have to see him again later. Or would they make him move out? Maybe Tiamaris needed the privacy even more than he did...

There was a small frown for a moment, but he did his best to remain optimistic about it. The professor didn't look mad or even particularly surprised about what had happened, so obviously this would turn out all right.

[tiamaris]

(Honestly not sure what to do with this, at the moment...)

[herald_the_dream]

[[ No pressure! It's a pretty complete scene as it is. ]]

(Okay, didn't know if we should be/if you had wanted to do anything when they were actually outside. I still have to figure out how to get him more clothes too, lol.)
