Firestar has posed:
Coming in from the Class Room areas, Angelica has a book hooked in the crook of one arm and her cell phone in the opposite hand, trying to manipulate it with her thumb,"Teach a class she said. Be glad to I said, I can do it. Who boy." she manages to breath out.

She finally stops at one of the tables and sets the teacher's edition Physics 1 text down to rest her weary arm and laughs at herself inspite of herself,"Heaven knows, I'd hate to be bored."

The phone chimes and she makes a face,"Yeah. Not today. I have had enough guilt for one week dad. Thanks." She swipes the phone and sighs, then reopens it and sends a short text back before putting her phone in her pocket.

Boom-Boom has posed:
It's been a while but to many, Tabitha might as well be a complete random stranger to the school. But she had been a student, and being a former troublemaker knows some of the good ways to sneak in when needed.

Or in this case just walk through the front door, Find somewhere comfy and doze off. At least until other people start making noise.

The startled blonde looking around with a loud. "The fuck?" red jeans, a teal cropped sweater and cat eye glasses marking her outfit out while she finds her eyes landing on a redhead. "Oh crap, I didn't... This is fourteen oh seven Graymalkin right?" she asks and looks almost ready to suddenly run away.

Firestar has posed:
Looking up from her own ordeals, Angelica manages a little bit of a smile and says,"Yes. That's right. Xavier's School for the Gifted." she supplies. Forgetting the book for now, she manages to force her own awkardness down a little,"I'm Angelica." Mostly forced the awkward down, she presses her palms together a moment, grinding them. Realizing that she stops and admits,"Sorry. This isn't my strong suit. Can you guess who the new teacher in the school is?"

Boom-Boom has posed:
There's a squint in Tabby's eyes while she checks out the redhead. There's a gooy looking smile. "Okay, my hungover internal GPS is still working." she mutters to herself with a tone of releif. The squinting continues till she makes sure tinted lenses on her glasses are in place keeping the glare out of her eyes. She definitely looks hungover.

"New teacher, huh. Cool. I'm..." she takes a moment to remember her codename as well. "Tabitha, Boom-Boom, since made up names tend to get like thrown about more often here." she offers back. "Uhh, so... teaching here, hope them kids aren't as crasy as in my day? Is Jean headmaster yet or is that still the Professor? God I'm gonna so be out of all the loops." she says curiously to Angelica.

Firestar has posed:
The hungover GPS comment gets a legitimate smile from Angelica and she indicates the table where she set her book, taking a seat on one side,"I'll talk a little quieter for you." she suggests and settles in her seat.

"New teacher as in, just got back into town myself and the position opened so here we are. Waiting for the fall to see how crazy the kids are. Not too many people want a summer course in Physics on any level." she explains,"Firestar is my made up name. It's nice to meet you Tabitha. I think I have seen you somewhere before, but I can't swear to it."

"As for the headmaster of the school, yes Jean is in charge of running the school and day to day operations so far as I have seen. Scott is in charge of the rest. I haven't seen Professor Xavier yet, but again I have only been here two weeks at the most."

Boom-Boom has posed:
The reduction in volume gets a smile out of Tabitha. Nothing a coffee and something greasy won't fix whenj she get something to eat.

Recognisability might be helped when one of the class pictures on the walls shows the New Mutants when they were all kids. One of them being a loud looking blonde that is not Illyana. The one with sunglasses on her head. "I'm like a hot blonde. We're like everywhere! Straight ubiquitous. Not... that I'm straight." she half jokes.

"X-Men stuff. So be careful I don't stumble into the Danger Room. No joy riding in the plane. If you've only been here like a fortnight. Hope you survive the experience!" she says playfully. Being a mutant is dangerous enough. Hanging around the school sometimes increases the risk.

Firestar has posed:
"There's usually some coffee perking in the kitchen if you need." she suggests. Not a mind reader, just recognizes the patter. The hot blonde comment gets a laugh from her and she snaps her fingers,"Got it. Not just any hot blonde, the hot blonde." she teases mildly.

While she does struggle with this sort of thing, she eases a little after getting warmed up some,"I haven't been to the Danger Room yet, but maybe someday." The dangerous thing gets a nod,"Yes. That is never dull. I spent a few years up north with Gamma Flight, the New Warriors. Sometimes I got the call up to work with Alpha Flight as well. We don't lead boring lives."

Boom-Boom has posed:
"Okay, we're definitely taking you down to the danger room? Firestar, so like pyro style! Me too! Crank the heat!" Tabitha gets a pretty wild and manic look a moment!

The mention of coffee though gets a grin and the girlis up and off her chair, stusting her hips and behind down.

"Did we get a new coffee machine? I swear the last one, only Hank ever knew how to use and you had to be like an engineer to even know how to turn on, let alone brew!" she states and hmms. "Imma go grab a cup? You want one? You're a teacher, yes you do. Need it Irish?" she asks and guesses that too as she heads down the hall.

A few moments later she heads back and then down the correct hall. "Stupid ass mansions, They rebuild the damn thing backwards on me? Swear they do it on purpose. Imma be back, then we can think really hard and see which telepaths complain about the noise. If we lucky it might be the boss!" she states before disappearing in the direction of the kitchen
