---

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie is showing Alexis around and while the garage maybe an odd place to be showing her, there is a bit of a reason. He points out the other motorcycles, scooters and such parked here. "Kitty found a whole stash of bike parts at one of the neighbors farms, sorta like ya see on that antique show. She payed them a nice chunk, and got enough for students and staff to work on their own bike as a summer project this past summer."

Prismatic has posed:
    "I see," Alexis states, her hands tucked into the pockets of her hoodie as she walked. "Is that where you found your remarkable machine, Sam?" she inquires, pursing her lips. Of course, the first topic of discussion between them, ever, was that bike. Her dark eyes had roamed over the project bikes, pausing in appreciation of the lines and shape of some of the older bikes, and followed Sam on his tour through the school.

Cypher has posed:
    While Doug is going to shortly be yoined off to space by a bananas-crazy Robot... that hasn't happened just yet. Or this is happening around it. Or something. Narrative licence! Either way, he's walking into the garage with Jubilee. "...And when I get it on the road, I'll take you for a ride. Given the amount of free time I have, I figure I'll have it completed in oooooh... ten or fifteen years. By the time I'm forty, at the very least--"

Jubilee has posed:
"Oh yeah? That sounds super romantic, going on a ride with you in about fifteen years." Jubilee says with an amused grin as she swings their hands together a bit back and forth in a lazy rocking. "If you want some help with it, I'll give it a shot. Who knows, maybe I'll be good at it after about a hundred hours of YouTubing it." She spies the pair and gives a smile. "Hey Sam, Alexis. Whaddup?"

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto is not in the business of rebuilding motorcycles. It is not he doesn't like tham, but he is too rich and too busy for it. If he comes here is because Sam texted him. Something about introducing him someone.

He has not exactly avoiding Sam lately. But he has been... okay, he has been avoiding the unavoidable questioning session about a certain green haired woman. If he only knew.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and has his arm around Alexis, and says "Hey Doug, Jubes, " He will say as he sees the two. "Alexis this is Doug I told you about." He will tell her, and then as Berto arrives, "And this is Decosta P.I." He grins over to his buddy "Hey Berto, come over here and meet Alexis."

Prismatic has posed:
    "Hello Jubilee! How did the turkey go?" Alexis greets Jubilee warmly, and she turns to Doug, giving a small smile and offers to shake his hand, extending her right hand "Hello Mr. Ramsey, a pleasure to meet your acquaintence. Sam's told me a little bit about you, in between trying to recruit me to teach here." she introduces herself with a friendly, wry tone of voice, and she turns to Roberto and gives a little bit of a smile and a wave accross the room. "Good afternoon, Mr. Da Costa, how do you do?" she replies, charmingly, with her very proper-sounding British accent.

Cypher has posed:
Doug raises his eyebrows, and then he smirks at Jubilee, before he walks over to a tarp-covered vehicle and pulls it off, revealing a little sports car that saw better days, a long, long time ago. It's a two seater. He had been working on pulling the rusted, ruined parts out of it, before life got in the way. "Tada~" Then he looks up, and says, "Sam. Berto --" He glances between Sam and Alexis. "Ah-ha! I see the date went well. And you already know Jubilee?" He glances toward Jubilation and murmurs, "What, no intelligence report?"

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto hesitates briefly at hearing Doug and Jubilee talk and then this Alexis person. Then he grins. "Good to meet you, Alexis. Please, call me Roberto, or even Berto. That Mr. DaCosta guy stays out of this school."

He steps closer to pat Sam's back. "Looks like we all have found new friends, hmm? Good, it will make Christmas more interesting.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods a bit and says "Yea, Ah was wondering a bit about that, looks like the whole not wanting to do business with a monarchy must have gotten settled." he looks to Alexis, and says "Berto runs X-corp the new business in town that is working on training mutants to be able to use their powers as part of their normal day to day life, owns the club, and is the one who taught me to play soccer."

Jubilee has posed:
"Hey Alexis! Oh, Uh... you know... it went... well... " Jubilee says in regards to the turkey as she rubs the back of her neck. "I think Kitty ended up taking over Thanksgiving and making it like .. a million times better." To Doug, she says, "Uh, no.. you know me and intelligence." She says cheekily.

Prismatic has posed:
    "I assure you, Mr. Ramsey, I'm quite ordinary and nothing more." Alexis gives a charming smile, and looks to Jubilee. "Sorry I didn' tmake it to the Yoga lesson; tips were too good over the weekend to pass up. Just about made rent." she replies, and looks to Roberto again. "All right, Roberto, then. Congratulations on X-Corp, we do need more outreach in Bushwick that enables the mutant population to live up to their full potential and be comfortable in their own skins." she replies to him. "I do a lot of... work with one of the homeless shelters specializing in younger mutants there."

Cypher has posed:
    Doug clasps his hands together, and says to Jubilee, "Yup... once I get this little Cobra on the road, it's gonna be sweet. I'm gonna get *so many* speeding tickets." He leans his hands on the car, and then adds, "Listen, around here, ordinary loses all meaning. They once told me a volcano in the foyer was a *science project*. Also, don't believe anything either of these two chuckleheads tells you."

Sunspot has posed:
"I am not doing business with a monarchy by most definitions of business," replies Roberto smoothly, a small grin in his face. "And neither is X-Corp yet," he adds more serious, "although at the end I didn't impose that rule to the company. If someone wants to makes business with Magneto I won't oppose, but I personally won't deal with Genosha until it is a democratic country."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smirks a bit at Berto, but nods, a bit and says "Last few times I have seen him have at least been mostly on his good side." He tells Berto. talking like knowing Magneto is no big thing. "The sad thing about him believing the volcano, is he is the smart one of our group."

Jubilee has posed:
"It's fine. I knew you weren't showing so I didn't bother rolling outta bed until about eleven in the morning. I dialed it in." Jubilee says as she pats the hood of the Cobra with a grin. "This looks awesome, Doug. I bet it will make really loud vroomy noises." She winks as she bumps her shoulder against his.

Prismatic has posed:
    Alexis is taking mental notes. Doug works with the school, Jubilee is friendly with him, Roberto runs X-Corp and... works with Magneto? *that* Magneto? And Sam knows Magneto? And there was a volcano in the front hall?

    She crosses her arms lightly, and turns to Sam with pursed lips and eyebrows raised. "You really *do* know pretty much everyone, don't you?" she replies quietly, and rubs the back of her neck a moment -- not a familiar reaction... but she feels rather small in this meeting of the greats.

    "So, then you all work with this school as well?"

Cypher has posed:
Doug looks faintly, briefly nervous at Berto stating that -- because he never did get around to telling his boss that he went to Genosha and had a talk with the Big Red M about the whole thing. He coughs. Then again, maybe Berto knows that he did and just isn't saying anything in turn... do they know that they know that they know? Or do they not know that they know? Or do they know that they don't know... "Listen, volcanoes don't just *pop up* in mansion foyers, even when you're as underwear-on-your-head eccentric and rich as Charles Xavier..."
    "Well. We're alumni."

Sunspot has posed:
"I don't work here," explains Roberto. "But most of my friends are here, so I come here often." He realizes then that Alexis might not know, or even need to know, the secrets of the school. "Alumni, yes. Sam was like an older brother for many of us," he adds with a genuine smile. "Now we are all... well, I think it is best if Sam explains it."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "The whole group of us that came through pretty much became family. There was these guys" he motions to the three, and says "Rahne, who you met the other day. And Dani, Xian, Mara, Illyana and Lock." He will tell her. "Basiclly Ah went from one large family to another, and someone had to try to keep these guys out of trouble/"

Jubilee has posed:
"I'm the Gymnastics teacher and one of the two student counselors." Jubilee says to Alexis as she gives her a wry grin. "The bendy teacher." She tilts her head over at the conversation about Magneto for a moment, not seeming to have an opinion herself on it. "But yeah, I was alumni as well. Was in class with these goofballs." She says as she motions to the three.

Prismatic has posed:
    "I am so very sorry for that." Alexis comments to Jubilee with a wry note to her voice, looking over the three goofballs in question in an appraising fashion.

    "So... as I said, Sam has been trying to pick me up to help teach here at this location. As I come from a fairly anti-mutant family and ah.. self-emancipated in my mid-teens," a really nice way of saying she 'ran away from home' "-- but have special circumstances to my education, he thought I may be a good resource for the students. I was hoping to get some unbiased advice, since appparently everything I do is wonderful to our Mr. Guthrie."

Cypher has posed:
    Doug's response is to look Alexis in the eye, and then cross his eyes. "Well in that case you would probably want to talk to Jean, since she's pretty much in charge while Professor Xavier is off with his-- girlfriend." He says all this without uncrossing his eyes. "I mean they won't even let me at the new computers in the computer lab, that's how much pull *I* have around here." He turns to look at Sam and Berto... still doesn't uncross his eyes, though.

Sunspot has posed:
"Well," considers Roberto. "Sam is usually a good judge of character," he decides, smiling again. "But I wouldn't know. What are you qualifications? You likely need to talk with Xavier or Jean Grey, yes." But the school always needs more staff, there are always more mutant kids needing to hone their abilities and get a decent education. And... what is wrong with Doug's eyes?

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over and says "Ah aint sure, You trying to see the tip of your nose again Doug?" He jokes, and says "Ah think she would do an excellent job, but also could use a bit more format education with teaching, why ah was suggesting with Allison, also gives a mix of modern and classical music knowledge between the two. Want to introduce her to Allison as well.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Well... I was an early graduate of Dame Mildred Florin's Saint Cecelia Conservitory for Gifted Artists, labeled virtuoso in violin and piano, acheived top marks and was the highest ranked young sopprano in Europe at one point, fluent in French and Italian, though I could brush up on my Danish, Latin and German. I studied fencing under three Olympic Gold Medal trainers and passed the attached training from St. Margaret's for their bottom-tier intake processes?" she states, naming a particularly high ranked school in Great Britain with Dame Florin's. "I did assist with a violin master class, but that was five years ago and I'm not sure if that would count as experience, since the class was only a month long." she explains, listing off relevant accomplishments for helping teach music classes and helping in the school. "I could probably handily fill in introductory fencing, should the regular teacher be out due to illness, and if French or Italian are taught I could help there as well."

Cypher has posed:
Doug uncrosses his eyes -- since he was goofing around -- and then looks back at Jubilee and then at the others. "Hellige katte. Det ser ud til, at vi selv har en overpresterende." He puts his hands behind his back, and then says, "You should hear Sam's younger brother sing. He could move a rock to weep with his version of 'The Wildwood Flower'."

Sunspot has posed:
"Sounds like Allison is the one to talk to," agrees Roberto. He has not seen the dazzling one lately, though. Then again, he has been unusually busy. "We have a few talented musicians at the school right now. Sam's kid brother is one of them." Then he eyes Doug. "His specialty are languages. He keeps reminding us so we can't ever, ever forget."

Polaris has posed:
Lorna came out, bundled up in a woolen coat, with a scarf wrapped around her neck. She quickly spotted Roberto in the garage and she flashed a smile to him as she exited the main building to make her way over to him. "Kids told me you were out here," She offered, as she sidled up beside him and made to loop her arms through with his.

"Hey all." She offered, glancing toward Doug, Sam, and Jubilee, though she was unfamiliar with Alexis.

She offered a polite nod and wave, "I'm Lorna.." She murmured, and glanced toward Roberto again.

"Clarice is taking Miss Frost to Genosha first because she needs to talk to my dad, I guess. So I've got a bit of time before I have to head out.."

Jubilee has posed:
"Hey, Lorna." Jubilee calls over to the green haired woman as she waves a hand to her with a grin. She leans in against Doug's shoulder, squinting her eyes at the weird language. One day she will learn another. Maybe. "Yeah, Jay's a little heart throb also. You should see all the sighs and woos when he walks down the hall. He's kinda like a little Roberto, just not obnoxious." She quips.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Yea, just got to introduce her to jay last night, but aint had a chance to let her hear him yet." He nods, and says "You know Ma, and the rest of the clan is running around down at the carriage house right?" He looks over and says "Alexis, this is Lorna Dane, she is a friend to the school. He resists the urge to take a jab at Berto as not sure how steady things are. "Lorna, this is Alexis my Girl Friend, and possible assistant music teacher."

Cypher has posed:
Doug rocks back on his heels. "Quando você tem um talento, faz com que funcione para você. Além disso, você é um alvo." He sticks his tongue out at Berto. Nyeh. Then Lorna walks in, and his eyebrows go up. Oooooh. *OOoooOOoooh*. His mouth turns into an 'o'. And then he grins. "Seu canalha! Magneto está tão chateado com você agora! Ele vai ficar com aquela veia zangada em seu templo quando descobrir isso! Quero dizer, não vou contar a ele ... mas cara. Bravo. Veia. Pulsar. Pulsar." Whatever he's saying, when he gets to the last bit, he gesticulates with his hand at his temple, making the motion of something throbbing.

Prismatic has posed:
    "Du kan ikke vaere over med at udfore, hvis jeg ikke kender operaen, men jeg tager af." the dark-haired woman replies to Doug, her eyebrows rising up a moment. "I've not had the opportunity to hear the younger Gutherie sing quite yet, but I did see the elder get manhandled by Andrea a few days prior." the young woman states, slipping her hands behind her a moment. Her eyes look between the men and Jubilee, and she takes a deep breath "I was more going to inquire about student life and what teachers could do to improve upon it, as you are all allumni of this facility."

    Lorna would get a kind smile, and a nod, letting her speak before she offers a had. "How do you do, Miss Dane?" the olive-skinned young woman smiles.

    "Portugeuse? Proper or Brazillian?" she questions.

Polaris has posed:
Lorna smiled as introductions were made, "Oh, a music teacher? Fantastic, I'm sure we can always use more adults around this place. I don't actually work here, I'm just an alumni that they can't get rid of." She joked lightly, and smiled. Her focus returned to Roberto briefly before Doug spoke and she felt her eyebrows shoot upward.. she definitely didn't understand a word... save her father's name in all of that.

"If you're talking about how much my father wants Roberto dead.. then yeah... he is not happy to say the least.

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto snerks. "Doug is rarely proper," but he slides closer to Lorna. Maybe old Mags head will explode. "So are you finally going back?" He asks, taking her hand. "Good... for them, perhaps for you too. But come back soon, please." He sighs, "how much time do you have before Blink returns?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "He was not Berto's biggest fan before he was dating you, your gonna be grounded to one of your house, which ever is the farthest away from Genosha." He jokes about the punishment Magneto used to give them. Ah think Alexis will fit in well here, once she sees and gets used to the craziness that can be out student body."

Polaris has posed:
Lorna glanced toward Roberto, smiling as he slid closer to her and she seemed to just be happy that he was quite literally a portable heater. "Yeah, I'm likely to spend the night there just getting caught up on everything. I'll text you what's going on, but don't wait up for me, yeah? As far as how much time, I dunno, depends on what my father wants Clarice to do.." She shrugged lightly, and glanced back toward Sam and grimaced faintly.

"I know. He wasn't a fan that Roberto didn't want to work with Genosha." She murmured, and pursed her lips together briefly. "But most of the world feels that way, so really he didn't have much reason to be so upset. Now though... well, here's hoping he doesn't disown me." She drawled, and glanced back to Roberto.

"Want to get some coffee before I have to head out?"

Cypher has posed:
Doug snaps techno-organic fingers. "You saw that! I made him laugh!" He says. "...We all have a complicated relationship with Magneto. It's a long story. Berto's relationship with him was rooted in how many ways he could tell Magneto to uh - sod off." He shrugs, and says, "But man... I am *impressed*."

Jubilee has posed:
As she wanders about the garage, Jubilee fishes out a pair of her rollerblades and goes about tightening a few of the wheels with her small tool kit. She gives the wheels a few spins, making sure the barrings are set up.

Prismatic has posed:
    The young woman looks at the grouping, and she leans her head back, and looks to Sam, then looks back to Lorna, and heaves a soft breath as she gives a thousand yard stare.

    "And I thought my family situation was difficult."

Sunspot has posed:
Roberto nods, definitely coffee. And some last words advice and... stuff. He might not see Lorna in a while if Magneto decides to be obnoxious about it. And man, he is the king of obnoxious.

"Pleasure to meet you, Alexis," he says with a smile. "You two..." he eyes Sam and Doug. Then Berto shakes his head and smirks. "Nevermind. I'll be back after the coffee. Laters."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie chuckles and holds his hand out to Berto to clasp and says "Have a good one man." He looks over to Jubes, and says "If you can do parkour in them, then Ah will be truly impressed.

Polaris has posed:
Lorna laughed softly, "You have no idea the extent to how crazy my family can get." She murmured, and she smiled, "It was nice to meet you Alexis. I hope to see you around." She waved toward Sam and Doug, and Jubilee on her way out. Her arm still linked through Roberto's as she leaned close to him.

"Don't work too hard."
