Shoe has posed:
The college is a lot more quiet now, so it's easier to see people from across the quad. Much easier to find people you recognize and who maybe you hadn't talked to in a bit.

Nicky seems to have upgraded to crutches from a wheelchair. That's new. They are also probably one of the only people who can build metal stuff who is still on campus instead of, you know, other stuff.

Nicky has a faded green dress on today, over black pants. They have a paint splattered backpack thrown over their back. Kind of slumming it, or maybe they were in the studio.

Carrie Kelley has posed:
After finals it was usually only those in clubs or with other pursuits left wandering around the college campus. It was a great time to get some thinking done, or some work. In Carrie's case she was wearing jogging pants and a Gotham U t-shirt as she put herself through some paces around the campus. She'd been at it awhile, and her hair had been tugged back into a shorty ponytail to keep her hair out of her face. Just as she comes to the quad her pace slows to allow her to catch her breath.

It only takes a moment for her to spot the individual on crutches. After all, that was a sight that tended to draw attention. The fact that she knew them was all the more reason to garner her attention once she realizes it. "Hey! Nicky!"

Her hand shoots into the air to wave at them even as she alters her course in their direction. "Wow, you look like you're doing a lot better. I was just about to go grab a drink from the machines if you want one too."

Stepford Cuckoos has posed:
    Seated at a bench, was a single blonde telepath. Phoebe has stayed in Gotham over night and has decided to take the chance to explore the surrounding area. So, at the moment Phoebe is seated on the bench near the campus entrance to Gotham U, and looking a bit out of place due to her young apperance, the girl is often ignored by the actual students.

    She doesn't speak a word, just lifts her blonde eyebrows up at the appearance of Nicky and Carrie, but the telepath doesn't draw attention to herself.

Shoe has posed:
Nicky waves back! "Yeah! I had some work done, but it took awhile for it to heal. I'm not a hundred percent yet, but I wanted to at least start getting some weight on my feet for a change. Sure! Some tea or something maybe. I'm trying to stay away from soda for a while, you know." They hobble along behind you, not favoring either foot but not quite willing to go without the extra support.

Nicky asks, "What have you been up to? You've been running a lot lately, or did I not see you before?" She doesn't notice Phoebe either, but Phoebe is sitting in the bench they are going to have to sit down at by the vending machines. So they do, with a polite greeting to the assumed new student.

Carrie Kelley has posed:
"Yeah, I'm trying to get myself in better shape. I've taken up some martial arts for self defense stuff but it's really kicking my butt," Carrie admits with a laugh. "So I'm trying to do what I can to get my stamina up as well. Not that it's really an issue for me," she adds patting a hand to her stomach. "Still good to know that I'm not getting too soft from the Freshman Fifteen though."

Taking the crutches into account she sets her pace so that Nicky doesn't have issue keeping up, and she gives a bit of space as well to ensure there's room for them to move. "I just figure I need a water or Gatorade right now. Soda is good but I always prefer it over ice to begin with. Probably because it gets watered down a bit so it's not so sickly sweet." Grinning she reaches into a pocket to fish out a handful of coins. "What do you want? My treat."

Shoe has posed:
Nicky hmms, "The lemon tea works for me. Yeah, I used to do martial arts stuff before... You know. Can't really kick anybody in a wheelchair." They hobble along, still kind of getting used to crutches. A couple of months ago, that wasn't even an option. "You're looking good, anyways. Going to be beating guys off with a stick if you keep it up. Probably a few girls too."

Carrie Kelley has posed:
That earns a warm laugh from Carrie as she leans over to feed the machine, and make her selections. "Like I even have time for that stuff. Between school, and teaching my acting students, and directing projects, and now this... I'm probably going to pay for this when I'm older. For now though? I'll make use of my youth."

The machine spits out the bottles and she grabs them tucking them into her elbow. "Let's grab a seat. Unless you've got some secret martial arts skill for having three hands at least?" She's teasing lightly, and tips her head toward the benches in invitation. They were nearby at least. "Seriously I'm glad you're getting back on your feet. I'm sure you'll be up and kicking again in no time. You'd better at least still be making props! I'm going to need some for next semester and you're my go-to person for that."

Shoe has posed:
Nicky is already in the bench. "Oh, I'm still making props! And other stuff. How else am I supposed to pay for my ramen fund?" They grin. "We'll see about the kicking. I know I am never going to be competition legal anymore, anyhow. What kind of stuff are you going to need?"

Carrie Kelley has posed:
Carrie Kelley hums thoughtfully as she moves to join on the bench. The bottle of tea is offered over before she sits back to relax and enjoy her own drink. "Haven't quite decided yet, but I'll think of something. Right now I've got a project to film over at the Avenger Mansion of all places. I can't believe I lucked out getting that chance." A quick gulp is taken, "So I'm thinking of a play that might touch on the whole heroic actiony type. Since I'll be getting lots of inspiration I imagine. Rooftops, maybe some kind of jungle gym aparatus to make it seem like they're doing amazing stunts."

Shoe has posed:
Nicky grabs their phone and starts making notes. "Action, rooftops.. Wire work, so I can start scavenging extra cable and pulleys.." Tap tap tap.

Nicky gives a thumbs up in the middle of typing, "Great break with the Avengers job by. Serious bonus points there. You are so lucky! Okay. Let me know once you get a script, so I can check the blocking and the stage design. I don't want another mess like last time someone decided to move a table." They gulp down some tea, thinking a bit. "I won't be able to motorize it, but I can do the mounts." They hmm, thinking more.

Carrie Kelley has posed:
Carrie Kelley groans at mention of the table with her eyes rolling upward in exasperation. "That was certainly one way to turn a drama into a comedy. I'll get it to you soon as I finish whipping it up. I'm not sure if I want to try something completly original or try to adapt something already written. I'll have to see what I can work with."

Shoe has posed:
Nicky nods and gathers their crutches. "Sure! I'm needing to get a piece finished soon so I can put it up for sale. I'll be in touch!"

Carrie Kelley has posed:
Carrie Kelley lifts her hand to wave again. "Okay. Take care! Let me know if you need help with anything."
