Shadowcat has posed:
Life has been busy with two friends teleported somewhere else in the galaxy to be found. Thankfully her day job tends to be a little understanding about Kitty spending time on such things, since her boss is one of the missing. And the school as well, where Kitty helps out doing guidance counselor work.

Not a lot of 'me' time, and even then it was mostly spent celebrating Rogue's return after her own displacement to another planet. Kitty's taking a few minutes off this evening though. A trip to the kitchen found the supply of frozen chocolate pudding pops distressingly low. Kitty nabs one of the final ones and then heads into the dining room. Finding a quiet corner she pulls out a tablet and fires up a game. "Alright, Dagger of Infinite Souls, you are finally going to be mine," she comments to the MMORPG that she hasn't been able to play since the holidays. Soon the sounds of her stealthily making her way to Mount Wontaka through the sleeping Harboon Warriors can be heard. "Sleep like babies," she comments to the screen as she opens up her pudding pop with one hand from the wrapper.

Kaida Connolly has posed:
The sound is almost inaudible. The predator stalks her prey with grace and silence. She moves like the wind and slips through the shadow. A moment later a small figure is suddenly leaping to the top of the freezer and then shoving a piece of metal into the small gap that forms the seal. With an oof, she pries it open before leaping down, grabbing a pudding pop of her own and then leaping free just as the freezer closes, holding the pop to her shoulder before sprinting to the dining area and leaping up to the table with a skidding stop.

She completes her harrowing journey by plopping right down and ripping at the top of the pop and immediately licking the top of it with a wide grin, "MMmm!" She declares and then blinks over at Kitty. She stares at her before raising up a hand and waving, "Hi!" She states and then takes a big bite (well, big for her anyway) out of the pudding pop and she chews, swallowing with a smile.

Archangel has posed:
Coming down the stairs with Theresa, Warren glances aside to her and chuckles. "You know, I could always just call a car to take us into town to find a place for us to eat. Or we can go out and do something else. It's not like all of our dates need to be food based. Even if I burn it off really fast." he points out to her, then glances forward, just in time to avoid avoid Kitty and her computer. "Careful there, Kitten!"

Siryn has posed:
Theresa Cassidy chuckles at his remark about going into town. "They don't, no, but you keep showing up around dinner time. It makes sense," she points out matter-of-fact. Besides that she was wearing yoga pants, and a t-shirt with some slasher flick image on it along with house slippers. "Though maybe Uber Eats for something good one of these days." Seeing the others that were here she raises a hand at the familiar Kitty. "Work or fun? Should be fun at this hour."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Caffiene. That is the trick.

Ellie hasn't been around the school much outside classes and sleep and even then she keeps crashing at Titan's Tower about as much as she does in her dorm room.

It is honestly way easier to clock time in the danger room there than it is here. A lot less teacher oversight for one thing.

Still she is working on a paper that will be due Tuesday and came down for caffiene and .. man you can hear it from the kitchen all the way to the Dining Hall. "Who the Hell took the Rockstar with Negasonic in Sharpie on it and has a death wish!"

There are stompy boot sounds and she enters the dining hall to see if the culprit is there.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon is settled down at a table with her laptop open, her headphones on, her little MIDI keyboard out, and a rather large bowl of mac n' cheese nearby. Her wings are held stiffly behind her, tense and quivering like a harp string, and she is only twirling her fork in the bowl of gooey goodness. She's in her red tartan sweatpants, baggy gray tank top, and sheepdog slippers, yet looks anything but comfortable. Her brows are furrowed, and she taps idly on the small MIDI keyboard with her left hand, frowning more deeply at what she hears as a result.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde glances up from her game as Kaida hops on the table. There's only the moment's surprise, Kitty likely recognizing the smaller mutant from the notices that would have gone around to staff about a newcomer. Something that is born out as she says, "You must be Kaida? Haven't had the pleasure of meeting you yet." Kitty reaches out, offering her hand, index finger extended for the shaking. "Kitty Pryde. I help out with guidance counselor duties, though I have a job in the city too so I'm not about full-time," she says to Kaida. "How are you settling in so far?"

She glances up, seeing Shannon and smiling towards her and giving a wave. The arrival of Warren and Theresa gets a soft smile. Or maybe their conversation contributes to the expression as well. "Hey you two. Yes, just getting a few minutes gaming in during a break," she says. She's been down in the X-men base more than anywhere else, lately.

Kitty glances up as she hears Negasonic. "Ok, even Hambone's smarter than that," she muses to herself. Before seeming to reconsider her own statement.

Kaida Connolly has posed:
A blink as she looks to all the new arrivals and stares around. She seems a bit surprised by how often people are moving around this place but then focuses back in on Kitty. She makes sure the paper protects her food before standing up and walking a step to take the finger and giving it a shake, "Good to meet, you." Her voice has a vaguely Irish lilt to it as she smiles, "I guess ok, just trying to get a proper room set up for myself." She nods her head and then looks to the kitchen.

She squints at the noise coming from there and moves quickly over to her pudding pop and takes another bite while eying the girl coming from that direction. The others only get a glance as it seems Negasonic is the current threat.

Archangel has posed:
Noticing the other pair of wings, Warren gives Theresa's hand a quick squeeze, then pulls away to approach Shannon. His wings are different, yet so similar to hers. Those that know the old wings would know they were exactly to same, "Evening, Shannon." he offers in greetings as he gives her should a brief squeeze. "Working on something important?"

Siryn has posed:
Theresa Cassidy winces at the yelling from the kitchen when Negasonic comes stomping in. A sympathetic smile is given toward the plight of the girl, and she glances at Warren with a nod when he slips from her side. "'Ey, Shannon," she greets as well. It's only when she looks back toward Kitty that Kaida's presence sinks in completely. "Oh, new student?"

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon glances up briefly as Warren squeezes her shoulder, as if called out from the depths of her mind. Giving a brief flick of her wings, she settles them in a little more closely to her body, seeing how the room was starting to fill up. "No, just trying to distract myself. I've been needing to talk to Jean, but haven't been able to contact her, Mr. McCoy, or Kitty. And it's a bit urgent." She appears reluctant to speak further on the matter; could it be that sensitive? She tries to smile a little bit, slipping her headphones off and letting them hang around the back of her neck. "How's it going? Haven't seen you since that first aid DR session escalated the way it did."

Speak of the devil, and she shows her horns, or so the saying goes. Kitty gets a bit of a smile and a wave. However, as she seems to be introducing herself to someone--though she couldn't quite see who, from her current perspective--she holds back on speaking for the present moment.

     And then there's Ellie. Her eyebrows loft as she hears the roar of doom, the safety of anyone who might have touched her Rockstar threatened in one breath. "Never had the stuff, is it actually any good?"

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
One Julian Pappas, known around the school as Moochie, which is honestly nicer than what Negasonic has tagged him with occasionally, looks up like a scared rabbit at the boot stomping approaching. He stats to try to put a Rockstar under the table he is at...

Moochie has priors....

Ellie glances around the room eyes narrowing and she stats to point at Julian "You little shit Moochie!"

Which is about when he absolutely panics and gestures at Negasonic and stats to try to run for one of the other doors from the dining hall.

Ellie takes... just one step and then loses her footing and stats to pinwheel like she stepped on the slickest ice you could possibly imagine "FFuu..." okay it was going to get a lot worse than the swearing she was going to do but the wind is knocked out of her as she falls back hitting the floor ... slowly sliding along from the momentum of her fall... it looks very wierd but Moochie removed friction from her right now before running....

Kitty probably knows what just happened if not others.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty smiles in a friendly greeting for Kaida as they shake paw and finger. "Do you have any special needs on the room? Going full-size or were you wanting something sized?" Kitty asks. "Piotr's Rasputin's class would probably be good at building something if you wanted the latter," she comments of the art class that handled most of the decorations over the holidays. "And if there's anything I can do to help you get settled, just let me know,' she says with a smile.

Kitty looks back over to Shannon, giving her a meaningful enough nod, as if she's aware Shannon had something she wanted to talk about. Though before anything else can happen, Negasonic Teenage Warhead finds her culprit. Even before the loss of friction occurs, Kitty offers a gentle, "Language," towards Ellie, and then feels a bit of a pang as the comment reminds her of Steve Rogers who is currently missing.

She winces a bit, as if guessing what happens before it does. "He's a real trickster for people who can't fly," Kitty comments as she reaches out to grab Ellie as she starts sliding past. Or try to. She can't get a grip on her either, but can at least get in her way so to slow her down as she bounces off.

Kaida Connolly has posed:
A blink at the havok that is happening and she takes another big bite of the pop and noms it down as she watches the little bit of stuff that is happening. She moves over to the edge in a sliding motion, dragging along her fudge pop to watch the floor show. She then looks over, "Oh, no thank you. They made a small bed for me already it seems." She nods her head, "And I may be getting a roommate to make things easier." She nods her head before she then sits on the edge of the table and leans over to get another bite of fudge pop.

She then tilts her head back and looks over to see the other people here for a moment and then waves a small hand, "Hi, I haven't met any of you yet, I'm Kaida." She mainly looks to Theresa who seems to have noticed her before her gaze goes back down to Negasonic.

Archangel has posed:
"I was just curious as you were up to, little sister." That's said in a teasing fashion, as Warren and Shannon are birds of a feather when it comes to it. When Moochie screeches by, he lifts a brow, and then covers his mouth with his hand to try not to laugh as Ellie gets one-uped by the slippery mutant. Though his gaze is drawn to the mouse sized mutant. If his eyes weren't as sharp as they are, he may have acutally mistaken her for a real mouse. "I didn't realize Gadget Hackwrench was a mutant. Hi Kaida, I'm Warren, and this is Shannon. No relation... I think."

Siryn has posed:
Theresa Cassidy steps to the side to avoid a sliding Negasonic and she peers suspiciously at the floor. She wasn't entirely certain if it was the floor that was slick at this point, or just Negasonic. "He's one to look out for," she mumbles to herself with a shake of her head. Glancing back to the tiny Kaida she nods toward her with a grin. "Theresa Cassidy. Art history. Really ought to work sometime with Piotr on a joint class, come to think of it," she reasons after Kitty reminds her of his own teaching.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
There is a bit of a wheeeze from Ellie as she just sort of drifts across the floor and bumps into Kitty. She doesn't stop but .... well Kitty did manage to slow her down as she bumps off her.

"Going.... to.... kill... him." either she is still catching her breath or she is practicing some slow breathing zen excersises right now to not literally blow up.

Moochie is probably in some deep trouble right now, but he isn't here which was good for his longevity.

Nightingale has posed:
     This was probably not going to do much for her own longevity, but Shannon's expression lightens from the stony, serious mask it had been a moment ago, to mirth. Her eyes twinkle, and she covers her mouth with one hand, trying to stifle peals of laughter. She failed, epically so--though she at least has the grace to wince at the way Ellie hit the ground so hard! "You okay there, Ellie?"

     Kitty's nod is returned, with something more of a smile, as she is caught in the midst of the hilarity. The two would talk later. At least she knew the message had been received. She did hate waiting, though.

     And just where was everyone staring? Who was Kaida? Finally, her eyes light upon the diminutive, mouse-like mutant, and she smiles lightly. "Pleasure to meet you. Did you just arrive here?"

     Were the two winged ones related? The world may never know! Still, as she's seemingly adopted yet again, she quirks a lopsided little grin at Warren, relaxing somewhat. "I might talk to you later on that, if I can't get to Kitty first." She leans in for a moment to whisper something to him, then settles back.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde leans down a little closer to Kaida as if conspiratorial as she says, "There's always a few pranks and such happening around here. Though, restraint's one of the things the school preaches too, so we try to keep it from getting out of hand too much." Though the way Kitty's grinning, it's pretty clear she thought it was kind of funny herself.

Kitty nods to Theresa. "You really should. So much crossover you two could do," she agrees. After Kitty finishes talking to Theresa, she glances to Warren. One of the people who predates her at the school, Kitty gives him a bit of a playful congratulatory grin.

"Ellie, I hid a new can of that Turkish coffee in the back of the leftmost cupboard if you want to get that instead of your energy drink," Kitty offers. It's the same brand she gave Ellie as a gift when she first returned from Oxford. "It's behind the box of Fiber One. Figured no one but Logan will ever move that box aside," she adds with a twinkle in her eye.

Archangel has posed:
When he's whispered to, Warren's mein becomes more serious and he touches Shannon's shoulder. "One moment." Then he turns his attention to Kitty and slightly towards Theresea. "You two, Shannon has some information to pass on about the incident at New Years." The jovial tone is gone, one more concerned taking it's place.

Kaida Connolly has posed:
A look over at Kitty and she smiles at her and nods. She then waves to Shannon before she takes another bite of her pop. That thing is disappearing fast and...it is nealry as big as the girl is. Strangely, she seems to have no problem eating it though. She hops up and then looks to Warren with a blink before looking over at Shannon and then at Kitty. She blinks slowly before looking back to Warren with some confusion. She stares at him for a long moment before asking, "Who is Gadget Hackwrench?"

Siryn has posed:
Theresa Cassidy was rather trying her hardest not to break out into a laugh herself. Sometimes bad things happened when she did. Chuckle though? OH by god she was chuckling behind a hand covering her mouth. Even if it might earn her Ellie's ire it was certainly worth a moment of brevity. "Coffee's probably better for you in the long run," she advises with a solemn nod. "Don't know of anyone it's killed yet. I'll grab Piotr at some point to chat about it," she adds to Kitty with an agreeable nod.

At Warren's remark her head snaps over in Shannon's direction with a sudden look of seriousness. "Spill," she half-demands only to catch herself. An uncertain glance is shared around before she clears her throat lightly. "Or should I vacate since this might become the business of a group I'm not a part of?" She was trying, really she was, but having to keep boundaries such as this was irritating at times.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Hey... flutter... can you check if I got a concussion...."

Ellie finally stops sliding on the floor, Moochie's powers are not really long lasting with him not around to keep doing it really.

With a groan Ellie sits up and squints around then nods to Kitty. "I'll do that..." she rolls her shoulders and pops her back. "New Years?"

Nightingale has posed:
     Shannon shakes her head, the little ice blue braid on the left side of her face dancing about as she does. "That's up to Kitty, but either way, it's better if we not talk about it in here." Yeah, no, she wasn't spilling this one out in the open, not by a long shot. No way, no how.

     But, a healer's work was never done. When Ellie finally stops sliding and makes the universal call of 'Medic!', she shakes her head and offers a rueful smile to Theresa, Warren, and Kitty. "I'll be just a moment." She closes her laptop and at least keeps it and all her gear together at her table, getting up from her seat. By the way Ellie fell, well, it would be a surprise if she didn't wind up with a nice little egg on her head. A wry smile curls her lips upwards as she walks over to kneel down by the fallen teen, reaching out with one hand to gingerly touch the back of her head, closing her eyes. Her breath slows as she opens her senses, reaching out as she had been taught those months past to assess injury. "Ooof. Yeah, you cracked your head there, but it's not severe. Just hold still, mkay? This'll feel a little bit warm, kind of like being wrapped up in a cozy blanket. And just don't move."

     Seconds pass, and there is a soft hiss from the slightly younger teen, her powers coming into play. While she wanted to practice training her gifts a different way, she was not going to attempt it this time, not on a head injury. She was just going to deal with the surge as she absorbed Ellie's concussion. Right in the same spot where the older girl fell and hit her head, her own begins to throb, leaving her seeing stars. As the transfer is taking place, there is the warmth of her life force connecting with Ellie's and drawing out the injury. It -had- to be possible somehow to learn another way, but this was not the time.

     When the transfer is complete, she draws her hand away, sitting back on her rear end and just... not moving for several moments. "How's that feeling now?"

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde picks back up her own chocolate pudding pop which she'd set aside back on the wrapper when making introductions. She glances at the game on her tablet and 'ports her character back home and shuts it down after hearing Warren's comment.

She does continue to eat the pudding pop though, which is now soft enough it comes apart readily, bestowing chocolaty goodness. Kitty rises and reaches over a hand to help pull Ellie back to her feet.

"New Years... the party at Stark tower where Rogue, Captain Marvel, Tony Stark and Captain America got sent off through portals by an attacker, likely extra-terrestrial," Kitty tells Ellie. The room cleared out, panicked party-goers fleeing. Not really a quiet scenario. "Rogue and Carol made it back on their own, were sent to another planet. Cap and Tony are still missing," she explains.

Kitty looks to Theresa and gives a shrug that could likely be interpreted as Kitty doesn't see a reason Theresa shouldn't hear.

Kaida Connolly has posed:
A look over at Shannon and Kaida shifts some so she can watch what is happening. She hears the talk of this New Years party and all that but she is more interested in watching the work of Shannon. She hasn't really had a lot of opportunity to be around other powered people and so she is finding it interesting to watch. She idly finishes off the pudding pop and starts wrapping the stick in the paper to set aside as she watches. She glances briefly at the others but the mouse girl seems to find this part more interesting.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie rubs the back of her head and then accepts the hand up to her feet from Kitty. "Thank you both..."

She nods lightly. "I .. heard a good bit about it between the news and some word of mouth. I'm glad Rogue is back. So her and Carol had no idea who to kick in the face for doing it or where the others are... that sucks... but I.C. is pretty smart right?"

Siryn has posed:
Theresa Cassidy relaxes a littel bit at the shrug from Kitty. Instead she turns her gaze toward Shannon frowning in thought. "Warren and I were there, too, but opted to try and help the crowd out. There were more than enough already there and those more familiar with working together as a team. Unfortunately that meant we were swept away with the crowd and didn't get to see past the woman arriving through the portal."

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon has to hold still for a little while, till the world can stop spinning around her. When she does get up, it's slowly, and she stumbles back over to her table, sitting down rather heavily. Her brows furrow, both in a bit of pain and with uncertainty, considering the information she's hearing from both. "I really think this should be behind closed doors. Really not sure how much of what I've got to tell should be general knowledge...."

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty pats Negasonic after helping her rise and the teen getting healing. "Try not to kill Moochie when you catch up with him. I understand the paperwork for student deaths that the state requires is kind of severe," she kids before looking back over to the others on the more serious matter. "Well, we can head to the guidance counselor office," Kitty says. "Though Shannon it looks like that took a little bit out of you. I presume it can wait for a few minutes at least? Take a few and we'll wait until you're feeling better," she suggests.

Kaida Connolly has posed:
"Wow!" Kaida states and pumps a fist into the air, "That was really cool, Shannon." She nods her head and then looks over at Negasonic before she looks back to Shannon, "If I had someone like you around back at my old place I'd be able to fight twice as many thieving punks!" She nods her head and then she looks to Negasonic and then Kitty and then Theresa before she considers, "Now, what is this all about anyway? I didn't really get much news where I was so I'm curious." She nods her head and looks from one to the other.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn sneaks into the dining room, about to settle down with a quick dinner of chicken soup and a cozy hot chocolate, but pauses as she notices other people there. "Ooh, did I miss the party?" she half jokes, slipping into a nearby seat and falling silent as she tries to figure out what she's walked into this time..

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Wait.

That mouse is talking.

Ellie just stares at Kaida for a very. Very. Very long moment there.

"Jesus zombie christ...." she looks at Shannon. "I thought you healed my concussion?"

Siryn has posed:
Theresa Cassidy watches as the crowd gets larger. At this rate poor Shannon wouldn't get to tell anyone anything. Sighing a bit to herself she heads back the way she came. "I'll be in my room," she offers with a wave. "...And if there's any broken windows in the mansion, uh, I didn't do it."

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon only nods slightly in response to Kitty, avoiding moving her head much at all. "I really hope Chris was right about being able to learn a different way to heal," she mutters softly. "Just wasn't going to try it on a concussion. Yeah, soon as the world stops spinning, we can step into your office."

She smiles lightly at Kaida, taking a few deep breaths in a bid to work through some of the residual pain from healing Ellie. "My gift in its current state has its limits," she begins. "Pretty much, I soak up injuries. They literally become mine. On one hand, I heal faster than some. On the other, it hurts like a son of a beach ball. Chris saw a lot of similarities to his gift, so he thought it might be possible to learn a different way that isn't so hurtful to myself. Think Sam has a few ideas for me to train a bit more safely in the DR, so here's hoping."

Glancing over at Megan, she waves with one hand, gingerly touching the back of her head with the other. "Hey, Megan. Just the usual mayhem, nothing major. And Ellie, yeah I did heal that egg on your head. That's Kaida. Think she's new here."

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde motions to Kaida. "This is a new student," Kitty tells Negasonic, but she lets Kaida speak for herself as far as introductions go, same as she would any other student. But that doesn't mean she doesn't help Kaida out with a quiet, "Ellie here is a good one. But lots of snark. Try not to let it all rub off on you." Kitty flashes a wink at Ellie, the comment good-natured enough. "Also, she can help set you up on our school social media servers. We have our own it's safe to talk about mutant affairs on, etc, private from the outside world," Kitty says.

Kaida Connolly has posed:
A smirk and she looks down at Negasonic, "Yes, a talking mouse is what your mind goes to when out of whack! You are secretly controlled by Disney!" She waggles her fingers at Ellie before looking to Shannon and the Kitty before she shrugs, "Well, they ruined it." She sighs and shrugs before smiling, "Yes, I am Kaida and I'm new and it's good to meet you!" She declares and nods her head before looking to Shannon and frowning.

"Well, that sounds terrible." She shakes her head, "I don't want you to take my pain on to yourself." She icks, "Not good at all."

She then looks over at Kitty and grins, "THat sounds cool though."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie blinks a couple of times. "I... see..." new student means Ellie is probably going to get it if she is too rough. The new ones get some grace period according to Jean.

This one is testing her ability though to not say something in ways not seen since pound puppy.

"Right. I can set you up on the social media systems... call me Negasonic though or Nega." she shoots Megan a smile and a nod then looks back to the mouse. "Hmm.. Mouseketeer... Mouse Guard... hmm"

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn arches a brow at the chatter around her, nodding to Shannon and the others before focusing on her meal with a quiet yawn. It's been a long day of studying and she's pretty tired. "How's it going, Kaika? Settling in okay?" she resists the urge to pick her up and tickle her because she's so cute. Negasonic is also given a nod and smile though she doesn't know her that well.

Nightingale has posed:
     "Or Reepicheep, like from 'The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe'. A very fierce, loyal, and noble mouse." A small smile curls the winged teen's lips upwards, and she peers over at Kaida. "If I ever had to, though, it'd be a favor to me in the end. My healing factor's been getting stronger each time." It's very difficult for her to refrain from laughing at the interchange between Kaida and Negasonic. Hopefully the nobler nickname would stick for the mouse-like mutant.

     She looks over at Kitty and smiles a little bit. "It's a little late. First thing in the morning, though... hot cocoa, your office?"

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty lets the students talk without interruption for a bit, though as Megan comes in, she flashes the young woman a smile of greeting and raises a hand to wave. Kitty's got a stick and wrapper from a pudding pop at her table, but the frozen treat is already gone. Also she's got a tablet with her.

Kitty looks back to Kaida and says, "How do you feel about the mouse comments? I know you aren't a mouse, just how your mutation ended up. Is it something you're comfortable with?" Kitty asks gently.

Kaida Connolly has posed:
A look over at Megan and she smiles, "It's Kaida, and I'm doing ok." She nods her head, "Just kinda having to learn my way around this place. It's very big. Much bigger than I'm used to." She then pats the empty pudding pop package, "But the food is good." She nods her head, "Which I need lots of..." She nods again before she shrugs and then looks over at Negasonic and smiles, "Mouseketeer is silly. I'm not the one being controlled by Disney here." She snickers and then considers and looks at Shannon, "Reepicheep?" She then hmms, "Mouse guard?" She rolls her eyes, "I have no idea."

"Are you guys trying to come up with a superhero name for me or something?" She then looks to Kitty and smiles at her, "I'm a mouse girl. What can I say? Besides, I like people thinking I'm just a mouse. Means they underestimate me." She grins and winks.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Social media handle... like.. I'm SullenSilence.... since I set people up I usually peg them with their handle. Reepicheep was a noble mouse warrior I suppose.. " she says it so begrudgingly but nods to Shannon. "We to tend to have nicknames and all around here." points to Kitty "Kitkat." then to Shannon. "Fluttershy or Nightingale." then a bounce of her hand to Megan "Pixie."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn oohs, "Reepicheep was the best! Even though he was a tiny mouse, he was incredibly brave and sometimes it's the little things that count. He's small enough to be sneaky and fit in where no one else can. Ooh, I've got to show you The chronicles of Narnia some time. That was a great series!" she giggles, "But I think that would be a fitting name, dont you?" she shrugs, "Of course not everyone needs a super hero name. Some people just go by their first name, like cher, or something." she makes a face.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon smiles lightly to Kaida, and nods just a tiny bit. "Nega over here tagged me with Fluttershy because of my wings, and i can be painfully shy sometimes. But my family called me Nightingale because of the healing. So that's what I use for a more 'superhero' name. Though if Mr. Stark had his way, it'd be 'Feathers'." Her smile turns into a grin. "Ha. You have the spirit of Reepicheep. Woe to they who underestimate you!"

Turning her attention to Megan, she grins at the other winged one. "Oooo, Narnia? We have SO got to do that for movie night! I'll drop a bug in Sam's ear about that, whacha think?"

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty gives a soft chuckle at the mention of her having a nickname. "Kit. Kat. Kitkat. Katherine. Kate. Katie..." she sounds like she's only getting started, but then her phone buzzes. Kitty pulls it out and checks it. "Ok, I need to go check on a data analysis I've got going," she says, rising from her chair and picking up her tablet.

"Nice to finally meet you, Kaida. I'll look forward to talking more," she says. Kitty looks to Shannon and says, "Yes, let's get together and you can go over the New Years stuff." She waves to everyone then and heads out.

Kaida Connolly has posed:
A yawn rips forth from Kaida and she looks around before shrugging, "Reepicheep is fine for a handle online, I think, not that I'm very good at doing online stuff at my size." She laughs a little and shrugs, "Not sure about a superhero name though." She then looks to Megan and then to Shannon before nodding, "We can watch it. I'm cool with that but I need to sleep...and..." She considers and sniffs before she is literaly gone in a burst of speed. She reappears a moment later with a piece of bread above her head, "I need another snack and then bed."

"Night!" And then she is hopping off the table and walking away while chewing up through the bread.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon stifles a yawn, and gathers up her things--laptop, gear, and mac 'n cheese--and takes a moment to steady herself. "I'd better go sleep this off." She smiles a bit at Kaida. "Don't worry, I should be okay by tomorrow. Nothing some good solid rest won't help. And lots of calcium and protein." She nods slightly and smiles at Kitty. "You got it. I'll bring the breakfast, you bring the cocoa?" With a smile and a wave to those in the room, she heads off to her dorm, to rest and recover with a cheesy late-night snack.
