Tendril has posed:
    It's the middle of the day, and getting towards lunch, which means quite a few students are on their lunch hours. While they're staggered a bit to make sure the dining area isn't strained to capacity, it's still fairly busy, with many of the tables already taken. One in particular, a smaller table, has been claimed by what seems to be a small group of students...save there's only one, she's purple, and from the look of it fully intends to devour all the trays currently covering the tabletop. How she got the staff to give her multiple servings is a mystery.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn is no longer a student, but doesn't quite yet have a specific direction in her life. So while it's lunch for some, it's breakfast for her. She floats on into the dining hall, feet just off the ground, to get something to eat. Dressed casually, she stops to hover over the large pile of food. "Is there any left for me?" she smiles weakly.

Tendril has posed:
    The purple skinned girl is in the midst of reducing a plate of fried chicken to bones and fragments, but pauses as you float up, her golden eyes blinking as she stops and...well, stares. It's not every day that you see a faerie fly up to your table. She swallows, flushing a darker purple. 'Um, yeah...maybe a little eyes bigger than my stomach..." she admits, sheepishly. "I just skipped breakfast an' my metabolism burns through stuff so fast, I started really feelin' it around third period."

    She smiles a bit. 'Um...I like your wings...I got extra, if ya wanna have some? Plenty of room.' She motions to the empty chairs opposite her. "I'm Alexia...well, Lexi. Or Lex." she corrects herself. "Dependin' on which ya like..."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn raises a hand, and tilts it from side to side. "We all have our own bodies working our own way. I didn't mean to make fun, was just kidding," she laughs. "Thank you for the offer, Lexi, I'm Megan." She'll then drop down to the floor, and takes a seat. "Got extra wings? Would that really be appropriate? and thank you."

Wolverine has posed:
    Wandering around the mansion is Logan. Currently, he is wearing a white muscle shirt, slightly greasy-stained jeans, worn brown leather boots, and a cowboy hat covering part of his eyes. Around him is a trail of smoke from his trademark cigar that he currently has clenched between his teeth.

    Logan's eyes scan the dining hall absently, and his expression is neutral. Turning towards those present, Logan smiles, removes the cigar from his mouth, and says, "Afternoon."
Eyeing all the food being eaten, Logan's smile turns into a grin, and he moves towards the table. "I see you are all settling in."

Surge has posed:
     A few moments later, Surge enters the cafeteria, books under one arm, the smell of ozone heralding her approach. Hey, she doesn't have a healing factor to withstand the fumes coming off that stogey of Logan's, and ozone does help with air cleaning. "Prof Logan." She nods to him as she passes, heading for the food lines, and acquiring a few chicken breasts which are drenched in teriyaki sauce. Sitting down near her fellow New Mutants, she digs in.

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi grins. "Nah, it's cool. I don't mind." the mauve mutant girl says, shrugging. "Nice ta meetcha Megan. An' sure! That platter's all wings, take all ya want. I separated 'em by drumstick, thigh, breast, that sorta thing!' Which could make you wonder...did she take multiple trips to get all this back to the table? "Grab all ya want."

    Her nostrils start to flare slightly as she sniffs the air, tilting her head, right before Logan, followed by Surge both enter as her golden eyes flick to follow them. Ah. Thats' what she's smelling. Though the ozone is kinda nice... "Hi Professor Logan!" she echoes several students in the area, then flicking her eyes curiously to Surge as the other girl snags food and joins them. "Hi!' she says curiously. "You're...Noriko, right? We got Miss Croft's world history class together."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn settles up to the table, getting ready to share some of that chiken. Her wings folding back, she look sto the others arriving, giving them tired but deliberately friendly waves. "Morning," she says. "I miss tea on mornings like this. I know there is tea in America, but at the same time it's never the same." Yes, it's not morning anymore, but it's her morning. To Lexi she adds with a smile "I think this drumstick is easier for me to eat as I wake up. It has a handle."

Wolverine has posed:
    Logan nods to Surge, and says, "Hey kid. Looks like it's grub time." Logan grabs a few pieces of chicken, some french fries, drizzles some cheese and gravy on them, and says, "Ah, poutine. Making me home sick..." Logan then looks around the room, and moves towards Lexi and Megan.

    "Hello..." Logan squints a bit at Lexi, sniffs, and says, "Ms. Nemo..." As though he was guessing but thought he was right. Next, Logan nods to Megan, and he says, "Afternoon. Ms...Gwynn, right?" Logan was actually looking a bit uncomfortable trying to remember names, and scents.

    

Surge has posed:
Noriko Ashida nods to Lexi. "Nori, yeah. Kinda obvious." She wiggles one gauntleted arm. "You know, you could probably order some online. Shipping's not even that expensive," she adds to Megan, before taking another bite. Danger room sessions before lunch always made her hungry, especially if she was doing a lot of running.

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi giggles a bit at Megan, her eyes twinkling. "Does make it easier ta know where ta start nibblin', yeah.' She demonstrates by snagging one of her own, and is partway into ripping it into pieces for her mighty maw, nodding to Nori's tea suggestion, before Logan walks over to say hi, greeting her. Her golden eyes widen a bit as she makes a muffled noise, then tries to chew rapidly, before swallowing. "Um, yeah, that's me!" she assures him, grinning. She peers at Megan curiously. "English tea?" she asks after a moment. She's not exactly gotten out of the city before....really, Westchester IS the farthest she's gotten from New York thus far. So she's not entirely sure by accent. Pretty sure! But not completely.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn takes a moment to watch Logan settling in, as imposing a presence as he is, and when he takes a stab at her name, he nods. "That's right sir." Noriko she watches a bit, sizing up the arm. "Ordering... I could get a kettle. And some tea. But even then... there's no shared experience." Pausing to munch on chicken. "I might try though, thank you for suggesting." Lexi gets a faint smile. "Welsh tea, if you please."

Wolverine has posed:
    Logan removes his cigar from his mouth, bows his head slightly at the girls around the table, one at a time, and grins. "It looks like you are all havin' a good time. I won't keep ya' any longer from yer chats. After all, ah never want ta' be a third wheel, 'specially where girls are concerned."

    Logan winks at the three, grins, and moves to the area reserved for the Professors and Teachers. So far, he was the only one, but that was okay. He had his chicken and poutine to eat.

Surge has posed:
Noriko Ashida nods. "Tea was a pretty big thing in Japan too." Omnomnomnom. And then Logan wanders off to the Teacher's area. "I don't need verbal sparring on top of physical, you beat me up enough today already." She grins, giving him a wave, before going back to her food, listening to the others talk.

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi furrows her brow in thought. "That's...Wales, right?" A little uncertainty. Geography not her best subject. It's like she was raised in a storm drain or something! (because she was). "Cool...I wouldn't mind tryin' Welsh tea...' she says curiously. "I never really have. I mean, iced tea, cuz it's, like, everywhere, but not real official type non-Starbucks tea..." She blinks at Logan, then flushes a bit at the wink, watching him walk over, then calls. "Um, there's room here, if ya want too...I mean...if it's not...weird or...somethin'..." Because she only vaguely knows about Logan, mostly through Diya. And she's curious. "Wait, you're from actual Japan too?" Her eyes light up a bit as she finishes gnawing the rest of her drumstick into submission. "Mmph...mrph nmmmr...' She pauses, remembering to chew again, before she swallows. "I don't know nothin' about Wales or Japan, just what I see on TV an' stuff.' she admits.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn gives Logan a wave as he retreats from the conversation. As a graduated student she's in that weird middle zone. "Wales." Then she adds "Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau." With a solemn nod, she has some more chicken. "To be honest it's much like English tea. We borrowed it from them, then did our own thing. With our own treats. IT's probably very diferent from Japanese tea."

Surge has posed:
Noriko Ashida stares down at her food. "Yeah. Tokyo. My dad's a fucking asshole who doesn't believe in Mutants, so... I ended up here." She seems to have lost some of her cockiness, her origin a bit of a touchy subject. "It was okay."

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi frowns a bit at Nori's words, leaning back in her chair. "...sorry ta hear that.' she says softly, then tilts her head. "But hey...yer here now? Among friends...an' if no one's gonna blink atta purple girl or a girl with pretty fairy wings" she says, thumbing at Megan. "They're not gonna treat ya as anythin' but a person." She looks a little unsure if that helps...not actualy the best at comforting, is Lex.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn leisurely nibbles at her breakfast chicken, paying attention to the conversation. "I don't actually speak Cymraeg though. Just know a few words like that. Some people do though. I think most Americans have no idea that so many languages are native to Britain. Sorry to hear your family had issues," the last bit direct to Noriko with a nod. Then to Lexi. "We do what we can."

Surge has posed:
Noriko Ashida nods. "I know. It's nicer here. I just... I miss my mom sometimes. And my brother." She sighs. "Speaking of history..." She shuffles through the textbook pile. "...I really should study for that since I didn't last night. Too many names and dates..." She pinches the bridge of her nose, staring down at the cover of the book.

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi nods absently, watching Nori with a little concern, a flicker in her eyes. "Yeah...' she murmurs, sympathetic but not elaborating why that seems to hit a chord with her. Then her eyes suddenly widen. "Oh CRAP! Th' paper draft is due t'day, isn't it?!?" She stands up quickly. "Um...I'll be right back, I gotta go grab it from my room quick! I'll be back, um, eat whatever ya like off th' plateS?' she says, starting to jog towards the door.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn sees that Logan disappears, Noriko needs to study, and Lexi has a paper to take care of. Looking where each goes, she snickesr. "Well, at least I have chicken."

Surge has posed:
Noriko Ashida nods. "Yeah. Love to talk, but... Can't afford to flunk. And pretty sure Miss Croft thinks the classroom is more important than the Danger Room. Yeah, like remembering dates is going to help me kick someone's ass..." She sighs, burying her nose in the textbook.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn smiles faintly, between bites of chicken. "Isn't it good to try to have as normal of a life as you can, though?"

Surge has posed:
Noriko Ashida shrugs with one shoulder. "My dad wanted normal. He got me instead. So if I'm losing a family, I'm going to help people."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn shakes her head. "But you don't need balance? You're a human being, just lik eanyone else. Don't you need the same things everyone else needs?"

Surge has posed:
     "Normal humans don't need these to keep in control." She knocks against the table with a metal knuckle, sighing. "And we're /not/ human. If some people don't want to accept us, Fuck 'em."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn smiles weakly. "You're right, you're right. We have extra troubles. We have to deal with stuff like that, and we have tod eal with people who won't accept that. But that doesn't mean we should all be uneducated, should it?"

Surge has posed:
Noriko Ashida rolls her eyes. "I'm plenty educated. THings are fine." She turns a page, trying her best to get the dates to stick in her head.

Boom-Boom has posed:
    A blonde girl enters the hall, she's dressed in a kee-length skirt: a blue and green checkered plaid with sky blue, yellow, and red stripes; a dark blue silk blouse with pearly buttons and a yellow tie that doesn't go with anything else in the outfit.

    She wanders in and has a look around and then crosses over towards Pixie and Noriko. "Dragonfly. Jolt. How are ya?" she asks, chewing loudly on her bubblegum. "Playin' the nerds again', huh?"

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn gives a wave to Tabitha as she arrives. "Dragonfly. Hmm. That's a name," she nods. "I can handle that one. Good morning. Just having breakfast chicken here."

Surge has posed:
Noriko Ashida sighs again. "Surge. And if I don't keep my grades up, I don't get my scholarship. No Scholarship, no school that actually helps me learn to use my powers and not need drugs to keep my mind slow enough to function. So yeah. Studying."

Boom-Boom has posed:
    Boomer pulls out a seat and flops herself down without asking for permission. "Yeah? Not like they'll kick you out. They don't want half-trained angry teenage mutants loose on the street." she says. "You might use your powers for eeeevil." she laughs. "Or worse, might join the Brotherhood. They don't want that. So, they're not gonna expel you."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn makes room for Tabitha at the table, while starting on a second drumstick. So much chicken to choose from here. "On one hand yeah, but on the other hand, the X Men aren't going to take a slouch. Gotta have standards."

Surge has posed:
Noriko Ashida nomfnomfnomf chicken. "Or they'll assign more work, which I already have enough of. Either way, need to study. Even if it's just history."

Boom-Boom has posed:
    "Gotta do _somethin' 'round here, or it gets borin'." Tabitha agrees. "So I guess if studyin' is your thing, then I guess it's your thing." she chews thoughtfully, looking around the room again. She twists a finger idly around the end of one of the long pigtails she's done her hair in today. "Anyone seen a purple fox around here this morning?" she wonders.

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn starts wiping off her hands with her napkin, and gets up. "I have seen someone purple here today..." she snickers. "But uh. I'd better get going. I haven't done anything today and I feel I should do something, But I don't know what. Maybe find a proper tea kettle. Good morning."

Surge has posed:
"I'd rather be in the danger room, but test after lunch. So, this it is." Speaking of which... Lunch is almost over. Nori devours the rest of her chicken, before tossing her tray. "Shit. Gotta go. See you later Megan." Boom-Boom just gets a roll of the eyes, before Surge disappears in a flash of blue light and sparks.

Tendril has posed:
    The doors pop open again as Lexi comes jogging back in...despite apparently having run there and back, she's not even breathing heavy as she heads back to the table where her bounty of miscellaneous deep fried chicken bits are stacked on various trays, a folder under one arm. "Back! Hi Boomie..." she says, breaking into a grin as she sees Tabitha has joined, then sliding back into the seat next to her. "Found it!" She peers at Megan. "Aww...see ya around then Megan, nice meetin' ya...an' Nori! An'..." She pauses as everyone disappears. "...huh." She peers at Tabby, then grins toothily at her. "Hi!"

Boom-Boom has posed:
    "There she is." Tabitha says with a grin. "Hey, cutie. What've you been up to?" she wonders. But then the others get up to leave. "Uh, sorry. Did I say something." and she laughs. "Oh, of course I did. I always do. Oh well... 'bye all."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn adds to Tabitha before she neaves. "Not at all, just had my fill of chicken. Bad luck, bad timing. Enjoy your meal."

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi waves cheerfully as the two head off, then sighs. "Bleah...aww. Liked chattin' with 'em." she says with a frown. She looks at Tabby uncertainly. "...ya said something?" she says uncertainly.

Boom-Boom has posed:
    Tabby shrugs. "I don't know? I was just being friendly. I even said it was cool for them to study if they lke studyin', but I guess I did it wrong." she tries to explain. "Maybe it's 'cause I don't close my mouth when I chew my gum and talk at the same time? I probably grossed 'em out." and she nods. "That was prob'ly it, yeah. They were eatin' an' stuff."

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi hmms, then returns to her devouring of at least enough chicken for several birds, after giving Tabby an one armed hug. "Mm, maybe they just got stuff ta do?" she offers, before gnawing on a chicken thigh.

Boom-Boom has posed:
    Boomer puts an elbow on the table and rests her cheek in that hand, watching Lexi eat. "I guess it's for the best. I get you all to myself for a few minutes, even if it is in the middle of the cafeteria." She idly blow a pink bubble and pops it.

Tendril has posed:
    "Greedy..." Lexi says after swallowing her latest bite, but smiles affectionately at Tabby all the same. "Not like ya don't get me to yerself lotsa times...." She tilts her head. "Ya can have some, too? PLenty of chicken ta go around, an' I guess I can get by with not eatin' -all- of it..."

Boom-Boom has posed:
    "Naw. I'm gettin' too big and not exercisin' enough." Tabby says. "You always have good stuff to eat and I always want to eat them with you. I guess I need to get to the track with you. Make me go, huh? Even if I whine and complain and throw pillows at you and stuff, okay?"

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi raises a silvery brow. "It's not THAT bad." she points out. "If ya did it every day, anyway. It's only th' first couple weeks it sucks for most people." Not Lexi, given her body tends to repair damage and give her stupid levels of stamina. But most people! "We could just do some extra Danger Room trainin' too, if ya'd rather?"

Boom-Boom has posed:
    Tabby reaches over to stroke Lexi's silvery hair, trying not to interrupt the chicken devouring. "No, it's not that bad. I know." she says with a smile. "I'm just lazy, honey. But you'll inspire me, I know. I like chasin' you anyway."

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi shifts at the petting, her gold eyes slitting a bit as she makes a little noise. After a moment the strands of her silvery hair start to slowly shift, like they're being ruffled by a breeze under Tabby's touch. "Hmm. Aren't ya th' one who's supposed ta be helpin' Yana kick my tail inta shape soI'm not slowin' ya down?" Lexi says, raising a brow. "I think goin' joggin' with me would help with that! An' I promise I'll keep it to...um..." She squints a bit...five miles?" she says, a bit uncertain. "Or, um, is that...how much do ya run for a good jog normally?" Since she just...doesn't get tired much unless she really pushes.

Boom-Boom has posed:
    Tabby tangles her fingers gently in the silvery stuff, letting the little tendrils wrap around her digits. "Five miles?" she groans. "Yeah. We can do that." she nods, too. "We can do Danger Room stuff also. Gotta do that." She looks at Lex's plate longingly but shakes her head after a moment. "I bet there's gonna be a dance soon. Do you wanna go with me? I thought about askin' Yana, but you'll do." she teases.

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi actually stops eating, blinking a bit, then getting a faint flush. "..y-yeah..sure! I mean...um...what kinda dance? Do I need a dress n' stuff?" she says, squirming in her chair. "Cuz the last one, um, is kinda...wreckd..."

Boom-Boom has posed:
    "I'm hopin' there'll be a Hallowe'en dance or a harvest dance or somethin'." Tabitha says. "So I dunno what kind of dress or costume. You'll look gorgeous whatever you wear, though. good excuse to go shoppin', too."

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi looks unsure. "Like...a dress up costume thing?" She fidgets. "I...um, I never....done that stuff." she admits after a moment. "I mean. Dressin' up..cuz, um..." She gestures to her fabulous mauve self."

Boom-Boom has posed:
    You could dress up like a princess." Tabby says. "Or you could be Warner, you could use a tendril for a tail.. or you could be one of the other teachers. Croft, maybe? You're built for it." she closes her eyes and imagines. "Mmm."

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi blinks, her flush deepening. "I couldn't dress like Miss Croft! She'd think I was weird fangirlin' again or somethin'...' she protests. "An I'd feel...weird in a princess dress." She pauses. "...though I gotta wear one for th' play too, I guess..." she grumps a bit. How she let Dani talk her into trying out, she still isn't sure. Color her shocked that she got a part.

Boom-Boom has posed:
    "That's 'cause you don't like admittin' that you're the most beautiful girl here at the school, teacher or student." Tabitha reples. "I don't know what I'd dress up as... I guess I could be a mouse but that might be too simple. Maybe Dazzler? I just need sparkly makeup and something with a lot of shiny sequins."

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi gets a deep flush at that. "I'm totally not, an' ya now it. I mean there's you an' DAni, an'..." She makes a face. "Money..." Or Monet, if she wanted to not deliberately irritate her. Which she doesn't. "What, like...a Mardi Gra thing? I think ya'd look good as a princess, personally."

Boom-Boom has posed:
    "You totally _are_." Tabitha says, laughing gently. "A princess? I guess I could wear a t-shirt that says 'Self-Rescuing Princess'?" then she tilts her head, the hand that was stroking Lexi's silver hair moves down a bit to run the other girl's upper back. "You don't want me to be a mousie?" she asks, sticking her bottom lip out in a pout.

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi fidgets. "Ya don't HAVE to be a mousie...' she correct, squirming. "I mean, if ya find a costume ya like an' it's a cute mouse costume, I'm not gonna object or nothin'." She shifts. "...well...maybe I could borrow th' princess costume for th' play or somethin' too...I dunno, I never done any of this. What's somethin' that everyone won't roll their eyes at an' stuff?"

Boom-Boom has posed:
    "I guess I could be Princess Humperkink again..." and she giggles as she realizes what she said. "Oh, geez. HumperDINK." and it's her turn to blush. "Oh, wow." and she shakes her head. "Is this day over yet?" she asks, looking at her arm. No watch. "Maybe I could dress up as Diana?"

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi giggles. "Mm, I dunno, Humperkink sounds interestin' ta see...we'd need a leather bodice an' real high boots..." she teases a bit, tilting her head. "Hmm, as Diana? Not Wonder Girl? Then ya don't gotta dye yer hair or wear a wig or stuff?"

Boom-Boom has posed:
    "I guess I could go raid Rachel's closet. She has all that stuff, right?" Tabby wonders. "I'll think of something. Maybe I should be Thor?" she picks at her garish yellow tie, idly.

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi hmmms. "Thor? Ya'd look weird in a beard though..." she says, wrinkling her nose. "Isn't there that Valkyrie girlthough, she's all blonde?"

Boom-Boom has posed:
    "Do I need a beard? I thought everyone already knew..." Tabby begins, but doesn't finish her thought. She looks over at Lex's tray again and snags a piece of chicken that hasn't been hoovered up by the Lexi.

Surge has posed:
Noriko Ashida returns to the caf, this time without books. From the way she's slumped over, it looks like the test didn't go that well. She bypasses the main courses, going straight for the soft serve dispenser, and acquiring a large bowl of chocolate. A large variety of toppings are added, a spoon's jabbed in, and she sits down a table over from the pair. Don't want to interrupt what looks like a good talk.

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi looks vaguely confused. You can always hear the 'nnnnyyyAAOW!' as it zips right over her head. "Knew what?" she says uncertainly. "That he's got a beard?" She tilts her head as Nori returns, frowning a bit when she sees she's looking less than happy. As she sits, she says, sympathetically. "Didn't go well?"

Boom-Boom has posed:
    Tabby looks over too. "Who's yout teacher?" she wonders. "I could put a bomb in their underwear drawer?" Tab offers. "Sorry."

Surge has posed:
Noriko Ashida shakes her head. "Nah. Miss Croft's cool. I should have studied last night." What exactly she DID do last night, she's not discussing right now. ...Although if any telepaths had been paying attention to her, they'd probably already know. "Plus I was up late. Plus now I have to figure out a costume after that post on the bulletin board..."

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi aws. "Maybe Miss Croft will let you do an extra project ta make up for it? Ya could ask. I mean it might be a paper or somethin', but might make up for it?' She tilts her head. "Yeah, we're tryin' ta figure out what we'd dress as too...' She hesistates. 'I never did any of this costume stuff or like that. So it's kinda...I dunno. I don't know what would be good." She ponders Nori's gauntlets. "Hmm...ooh! You could be Lightning from the Three Storms! Big Trouble in Little China!"

Surge has posed:
Noriko Ashida pauses. "...I actually haven't seen that movie. Should probably look into that." Om nom nom. Ice cream, you make everything better. "And then there's all these weird social things..."

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi raises a silvery brow slightly. "Um...weird social things?' she repeats, questioningly this time. "Which, for th' dance, or in general or stuff? Or gettin' a date for it?"

Boom-Boom has posed:
    "ANy excuse for a date sounds good to me." Boomer chimes in. "We need a limo with a hot tub and new shoes and all kinds of stuff."

Surge has posed:
     "Everything related to dances. And parties. And then having to find clothes. And probably get stared at while I go shopping. I mean, the people in Salem have kind of gotten used to us, but these things aren't really flattering." She wiggles one arm again. "I wish I could get in touch with Forge..."

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi frowns thoughfully, then says slowly. "Well...if I could talk Diya inta it...we could go lookin' in Mutant Town. No one is gonna be starin' at ya there, really. I mean, not cuz of those, anyway." she says, gesturing to the gauntlets. "Or, I dunno, is there anyone who can do, like, illusions or stuff, they could cover it up if it bothers ya? Lots of costums don't need ta have full sleeves an' stuff."

Surge has posed:
Noriko Ashida sighs. "I'm sorry. Lots of us stand out even more than I do. Maybe I'm just a teenager with strange fashion sense. It must be worse for you guys." Nom. "Maybe I'm just not a dance girl."

Boom-Boom has posed:
    "I'll go too!" Tabby offers enthusiastically. She takes her hand off Lexi's back and puts it in her own lap. "Plus, the more of us there are the less chance anyone will mess with us."

Marvel Girl has posed:
    Off in the distance, as the small group of students talk, things start to... float. It starts out simple: a plate. A glass. And then the food, bread, lettuce, turkey, condiments all neatly assembling themselves into a proper sandwich and flopping on top of the plate, followed by some ill-advised variety of snack stuff. The cup helpfully fills itself with water, as the whole lot starts to just wander its way through the air...

    ... towards the direction of a woman with short red hair and green eyes, dressed down in a pair of black combat boots, shredded jeans, and a red tank top, spiked bracelets decorating either of her wrists, both upturned so she can snatch both glass and plate out of the sky.

    "Man," mutters Rachel, looking down at her plate. "The food is so much better here than what I remember." And then she looks up. Blinks. Tilts her head. As if she hadn't noticed the presence of the others until exactly that moment. "Oh. Uh," begins redhead, very slowly. "... hi, I guess?" She's very good at this.

Surge has posed:
Noriko Ashida winces. "Hey, I'm not promising anything until you start getting my name right. And I don't even know if I'm going yet. It's a month away, anyway. I might get detention and not get to go or something." ...Hovering things? ...ohshit.
     Surge immediately clams up, staring intensely at her ice cream and doing her best to think about pink elephants, and nothing but pink elephants. Yep. It's definitely detention for her.

Boom-Boom has posed:
    "Hiya, Spikey." Boomer says, suddenly shewing her gum loudly again. "Niceta seeya. We were jus' talkin' about you." A look back to Noriko. "Who has your name wrong? You're 'Jolt', like the ancient super-caf super-sugar soda from like a million years ago."

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi elbows Tabby gently. 'Call her Nori if it bothers her, Tabs." the other girl chides her a little bit, her eyes following the newcomer with curious interest. "Hi there...you're new?" She thinks. She doesn't know EVERYONE on campus, but she's pretty sure she'd remember a girl going around levitating things like that everywhere. "I'm Lexi. Or Lex. Whichever." She offers Rachel a hand, sort of side-eying Nori as she suddenly looks fascinated with her food. Huh. Maybe she...has a thing for her? That's adorable, she thinks to herself. And probably to Rachel too.

Marvel Girl has posed:
    "Talking about me?" If Rachel sounds suddenly defensive with that revelation, it's probably not helped by the way those red eyebrows knit inward and a slow frown purses at her lips. Accompanied by the squint of those green eyes of hers, the young woman looks nothing short of suspicious. "Why? What were you saying?"

    But she's distracted, at least for a moment, by Lexi's introduction. Disarmed for a second, she just finds a place at the table to set down her food with an awkwardly mumbled, "Uh. Yeah. Something like that," to that first question. Green eyes drop to the offered hand, considering it for a few seconds before she tentatively reaches out to accept it with her own in a firm clasp. "My name's Rachel." Just Rachel, apparently. She hasn't told a soul her last name since she was taken in. But as she shakes that hand, she blinks; surface thoughts are caught, and someone with a sense of propriety probably wouldn't mention them--

    "Wait, the pink elephant girl has a 'thing' for me? What?"

    --but Rachel is not one of those people.

Boom-Boom has posed:
    "Sorry. 'Noriko', then. Nori's seaweed and stuff." Tabitha says. She watches Lexi greet Rachel, and Tabitha's thoughts are probably blush-inducing if anyone's listening to them. "Oh, I was looking for leather and spikes. Maybe Illyana's closet?"

Surge has posed:
"No, it's Surge. As in a power surge. As in electricity. Or Nori, or Noriko." Sighing, she starts to go back to her ice cream before- "I DO NOT!" Pink elephants fully disappear from Nori's mind as the teen shoots Lexi a glare. And with her mental 'shield' gone, Rachel can probably figure out what she was up to last night. "I just... Fuck." She rests her face in her hands. "I was thinking that Professor Grey was around, and then I'd... Yeah. I'm getting detention. May as well enjoy this last bowl of free ice cream, I guess."

Tendril has posed:
    Lexis has a small mountain (or at least several trays worth) of fried chicken surrounding her...she's gone through about half of it so far. That's at least two hole chickens, from the look of the bones. She blinkblinks, then her golden eyes widen. "...uh...b-but..." she protests as Nori throws her a death glare, then she frowns at Rachel. "Stop that! That's just rude, an' I didn't...I mean, I don't know that she does, I just..." She swallows. "...right, I'm just gonna shut up now. Sorry. Was just a passin' thought."

    She looks a bit confusedly between Rachel and Nori. "Wait, why would the headmistress know?"

Marvel Girl has posed:
    "She'd probably kill you," is Rachel's first, casual aside to Tabitha, spoken so off-handedly it's hard to say whether she's joking. Given who it is, probably not.

    So, the redhead just settles with at least mild comfort into her seat, taking a bite of her sandwich as the fallout of her little, incidental psychic probing begins. "Sorry," she offers after a moment of awkward silence on her part, like someone not quite sure what they're apologizing for, yet feeling inclined to do so anyway. The rest of that conversation, however, has her biting the inside of her cheek as she gleans the rest of those thoughts now bubbling prominently to the surface.

    "Huh?" Green eyes squeeze in a blink. "I don't -- what? Why would I care what you do with your free time? I'm not in charge here. Do... whatever. A party?" She looks down for a moment, picking at her sandwich as a frown stitches at her lips. She thinks of applying a warning to this as well, except Lexi's follow up earns an immediate, "Probably because pink elephants are a terrible psychic defense," to curve the topic -away- from her and the headmistress, to whom she is definitely not related. "I'm not gonna blab or anything. I'm sure parties are... fun, or something."

Surge has posed:
Noriko Ashida sighs. "No, you're fine. Just... Pretty much everyone who's telekinetic around here's also telepathic, and..." She waves one hand in the air. "I don't know. Maybe I'm paranoid. Or I've got too much charge." She takes another bite of ice cream with oreo bits, but her heart's not really in it. "Not your fault. And yeah. It was fun." Nomf.
     "...But yeah. Surge. or Noriko. Either's fine. You're new here?"

Boom-Boom has posed:
    "She wouldn't kill me." Tabitha replies. "Or I'd be dead like a bunch of times already." and then she hits her forehead with her palm. "Oh! You mean Illyana and raiding her closet. Yeah, probably." and she laughs. "I thought you meant..." and she jerks the top of her head to indicate the mauve girl next to her.

Tendril has posed:
    Lexi wrinkles her nose at Tabitha. "Never." she assures her, then looks at the other girls. "...it's...we were, um...planning ideas for the Halloween thing...' she offers after a moment to Rachel. "Um...if you wanna...plot costume ideas or stuff?" She knows what it's like to be the odd person out, after all...and hey, she's not going to sell Nori out for partying, so...that's a point in her favor. There a beeping from her pocket as she looks down, then gahs. "Shoot! I gotta run for class...um...I'll catch y'all later?" She looks to Rachel and Nori. "If ya guys wanna go lookin' for costume stuff, maybe we can set somethin' up. Like a field trip thing!" She grins, then pauses to give Tabby a kiss on the forehead as she hops up, then long purplish tendrils start sprouting from her skin, scooping up the trays with bones and remains, leaving just one lone tray of chicken behind for Tabby to munch on if she wishes. "Just, like, let me or Tabby know, kay?' She grins toothily, extends out her tendrils to dump the trash and neatly stack them on top of said trashcan, before waving. "See ya later girls!"
