Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie announces himself as he comes onto the ladies hall. he will walk over to Andrea's door and knocks on it softly. He has actually brought some hot tea and cookies.

Rage has posed:
Glancing over at the sound of the knocking, Andrea was hunched over her desk, working on a round of homework. Scooting back from the desk, she rises upwards and heads for the door with a lazy squint of her eyes. As she opens it up, she stares unblinkingly at the staffer, leaning in against the door frame with a hint of serpentine. "Heeey, Sam." She drawls out to him as she blows some hair away from her eyes. Today she's wearing tight black jeans with multiple slices in the denim, a black and green neon sports bra that shows off her athletically toned popstar body, complete with the criss-cross of deep scars along her tanned flesh. Reaching out, she plucks a cookie from his hand, then dips it into the cocoa as she locks her eyes with him. "Sup?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Hey I was wondering if you got time and if you wanted to talk" He tells her. Heard something and am a bit concerned so wanted to check in with you." He admits to her, and if she lets him in will step inside putting the refreshments on a table."

Rage has posed:
As she places the cookie between her teeth, Andrea leans over and nudges the door shut with her hand with a heavy 'thump' of wood. Turning around to face him, she leans back against the door with a foot propping her up. She takes a bite of the cookie as her eyes continue to track him around the room. "Yeah? What'd you hear?" She asks in a low rumble of a voice.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks to her, and says "Actually a few things, but lets start with the wolf has been shut down in your head?" He will ask her moving to have a seat in one of her comfy chairs "Was wondering what the deal was and how your doing."

Rage has posed:
"The bitch had to go." Andrea says as a smirk toys along her lips, followed by drawing her tongue along her lips to clear the crumbs away. Pushing off the door, she strides across the room in a confident manner, lobbing the rest of the cookie into her metal trash can. Thunk. Sliding her hand along her desk slowly, her fingertips trace over the wood until she finds the notebook that's open with notes. "So I'm doing /real/ good now. How're /you/ doing?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks to her, and says "Ah am doing ok, have you shifted since it happened?" He will ask her studying her and her reactions. "Any odd effects you have noticed?"

Rage has posed:
"I've shifted once. You saw me out in the yard, tackling Logan." Andrea reminds him. Closing the notebook, she puts it to the side, then shifts herself to sit on the desk, planting her hands between her knees as she tilts her head up at him. "I'm excited to get back up on stage for your concert. I'm going to crush it." She drawls out. Perhaps surprisingly, she clicks a tongue ring against her teeth. Clicky click.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie 's brow raises a bit at the new behavior quirks a bit and says "Ah did not know if that was before or after it had happened to be honest." He hmms and says "Tongue ring new?" He will ask at the clicking

Rage has posed:
"Yeah. Got a few new pieces of hardware." Andrea says as she rolls it about in her mouth, giving it another loud, metallic clack. "I call it a life upgrade. Out with the old, in with the new." She says as she slides off the desk slowly, softly, as if each move she makes has purpose.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie hmms and says "Ok, will ask, have you seen what the effect on shifting has with these .... upgrades?" He will ask

Rage has posed:
"Not everything in life has a cause and effect, Ssssam." Andrea says as she heads to her closet, reaching out to tug the doors open to reveal her clothing. "Maybe I'm just trying something new. Exploring myself. Everyone knows your brother isn't bothering to explore me, so I may as well get the job done myself." She says with a smirk as she reaches out for a black and white flannel, pulling it off a hanger. She wraps it about her waist, tying it at the sleeves. As she turns to face the mirror, she studies herself, then slowly, finally, blinks at her reflection. Her head tilts to one side, then squints.

"Hey, is your family all packed and ready to come up and visit us in New York?" She asks, a bit of excitement in her voice as she finds herself untying the flannel, then reaches for one of her conservative sweaters to tug it on. "Dazzler and I are finishing up our setlist. She's going to be my 'encore'. So after Shannon and the girls do their thing, I will pop up and do my songs, then I'll do an encore and introduce Dazz! It's going to be /so/ cool. I can't wait. I hope everyone likes it."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "Yea it is all looking good for the trip up." He hmms and says "Ah am sorry he likes ya he just is still to guilt ridden to be ready to be in any type of relationship it seems." He looks at the flannel "Grunge?"

Rage has posed:
"Uh, no. Not grunge." Andrea says as she looks down at the flannel on the ground, then picks it up and puts it back on a hanger, sticking it in the closet. She gives a few more tugs of her sweater, then steals another glance to the mirror for a moment before she heads back out. "And it's okay. About Jay that is. He and I talked and I let him know that I'm moving on. It's not fair to either of us to drag whatever this is out. So, I'm going to let life come to me and what happens, happens." She is moving about more carefree now, flopping down on to the edge of her bed with a happy bounce. "Him being comfortable is more important than my dumb crush."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie hmms a bit at he looks at her, He seems concerned a bit for her, but she does at least seem happier. He will say "Well if you notice anything strange or need to ttalk to someone you know I am here

Rage has posed:
"I don't think there is anything strange about the Jay situation. I don't feel bad about it. I know he and I kinda got into a bit of a back and forth on it, and I could tell that he was upset but, I had to yank the bandaid off. He's not ready and I need to just let it go." Andrea says as she reaches up to pull her hair back behind her. "I just don't want him to be upset at me or himself."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Well, Ah was more thinking about the strangeness with the wolf being gone. Jays my brother and will do what Ah can for him, and consider you a friend and student, but other than offer ya both support thats the most and maybe more even than I should be involved. " He rubs his chin a bit and "Ah want you to do a couple danger room sessions over the next couple days."

Rage has posed:
"Nothing is strange about the wolf being gone. It just means I'm a little less crazy today than I was yesterday." Andrea laughs as she tucks her hair back behind her ear. "I don't know if I need to do any DR sessions. That's kinda reserved for the team stuff anyways. I can always just run about the woods or something and stretch my paws."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Ah want to see how you react in combat situations and such, Ah don't want someone jumping you and you not reacting like you should because your combat edge is gone."

Rage has posed:
Wrinkling her nose, Andrea says, "I... think I may be done with the combat stuff." She admits. "I'm not going to become an X-Man and I'll be going to college next year. The last thing I need to do is go wolfing out in the middle of the City anyways. The other kids want to play superhero and that's cool. I'm sure it will work out for him."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks to her, and says "And if the friends jump you again?' He asks her bluntly. "You don't have to go looking for a fight Andrea, Ah am just wanting to make sure you know what to expect from yourself if it comes looking for you.

Rage has posed:
"I mean, if they jump me again, I don't think me going wolfy and tearing people apart in broad daylight is going to help anyone, right? James is taking the proper security precautions to ensure my safety with my transition to College. I sold my old place and currently working with my parents to buy them a new one." Andrea says with a bright smile on her face. "I'm getting them one in Santa Cruz near the boardwalk so that they can enjoy retirement by the beach and have some fun."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Well, it might if you have to help stop them from hurting you or others." He frowns but lets it drop for now, not seeming to like this."

Rage has posed:
"Yeah, it's called the police, Mister Guthrie." Andrea says with a sigh. "I can't solve every problem in my life with claws. I don't want to hurt any other people. I'm really trying to work on being forgiven by Jesus. I can't deal with anymore blood on my hands."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods a bit to this and says "Ok, just trying to make sure your safe Andrea." He will stand and says "Still you feel anything odd or notice anything promise to tell me?'

Rage has posed:
"Of course!" Andrea says with a smile to him, giving another bounce on the edge of her bed. "I haven't felt this good in awhile. Soooo, how are things with you and Alexis going?" She asks as her brows rise upwards some, then gives them a playful waggle.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and says "We are doing well, Ah like her a lot and Ah think she likes me a lot too. Thinking about trying to get her to take a job to help teach here some if Ah can talk her into it.

Rage has posed:
"What would she be teaching here?" Andrea asks curiously as she slides up to her feet, then heads back to her desk to reopen her notebook, back to the original page of notes. "Too bad you bailed on the pool game. Not that it matters now. No double dates in my future."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Helping Alison with the music classes. You know most of the stuff, and have the rock side, but Alexis is more specialized in the classical styles, and figured might be useful for folks who want to know both."

Rage has posed:
"That's cool. I hope it works out. I'm really excited that Miss Blaire is our music teacher." Andrea says as she bobs from foot to foot as she turns a page in the notebook to a fresh one, then slides her math over to her closer. "I almost wish I wasn't graduating just so I can spend more time in her classes, soaking up everything she has in her head."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Well you can still take classes here and come by when you want you know we don't kick you out just cause ya turn 18."

Rage has posed:
"I'll see what I can do. I'm already working on my schedule for NYU. I can do summer classes here at least." Andrea grins back to him. "Long as the credits are transferrable. I'm hoping to get my four year in about three with an album inbetween. I'll be so busy."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie 's brow raises a bit and says "Well you are setting out for a job, but least you maybe able to get some of your college classes counted for you in next semester. How much do you need for graduation credits?

Rage has posed:
"Sixty credits. So about fifteen a semester. So I figure if I can take about four classes during the summer, it would knock out almost a year. I should be able to do it if I really focus and grind it out." Andrea smiles confidently. "Then once I am done with that, I can look at working on Broadway. I can put a Tony award next to my Grammy."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie hmms and says "Oh no CMA?" He will tease her a bit, and says "Well, Ah am sure what ever you have in mind if you set your mind to it you can do it."

Rage has posed:
Eyes rolling upwards, Andrea says, "No CMA in my life." She grins. "Except.." She pauses. "I have this song that Jay and I wrote together. It can be rock, it can be country. I've been working on the music part of it if you want to hear it. It's beautiful."
