Kid has posed:
After one rather exciting experince in a coffee shop few blocks from mutant town, Kid and his...guard...friend...keeper? hard to say. But Kid was none the less walking down the streets with Officer Orion. Kid signing to him as the officer spoke back. Strangely enough being a big ol' gorilla in this part of town consistutes people being a bit more open to the idea your not a wild animal!

Orion says "Kid, really, you do need to lighten up, ain't sure why you like this...guess I never will. But if you ain't willing to let folks help, you never WILL get the help you need. This is one grand city with folks of all hues. Green and blue, pokedotted too!" Orion was certainly an older officer and one who has seen his fair share of odd folks.

Kid snorts as he signs, a watch speaking for him "Yea, yea...I know. But some things are alot easier said than done." he responds.

"Like what?" Orion asks. But with no answer given as Kid looks away he sighs "Well, stay put, I will be back" he soon crosses the street to enter into a store. As for Kid, with a heavy sigh he sits upon a bunch watching the people of the street meander about their buisness.

Jubilee has posed:
Mutant Town is just a stop on Jubilee's way home from Chinatown. She's loaded down with four boxes of Chinese takeout - because what else would a Chinese girl bring home from Chinatown? It's not like she can cook it herself...

She's not watching where she's going. Too busy looking up something on her phone. Probably a movie time, or pictures of Hugh Jackman. It's right about then that she runs smack into a giant mutant Gorilla, and splats back on her butt. "Oh...Oh hi! Sorry!" she exclaims, gathering her dropped belongings hastily. Luckily she's just wearing shorts and a tee-shirt, and not a dress or something more awkward when splatting.

Kid has posed:
    And Typical Kid actually growls at Jubilee, none too happily. However something MUCH more interesting - chinese food. FRESH chinese food. Kid scopes up on of the box's of it that had splatter and opens it. Without even a second thought he starts eat out of it.
    Slurping up some lomein, he takes a moment to sign - his watch speaking "Eh. You got chinese, it's fine...any general tso." and no that was not a question, sounded more like a 'hand it over, i'm hungry' kind of synthetic tone

Jubilee has posed:
"Oooh, you're hungry, huh? I have three more boxes of stuff! This one here's got veggie stir fry, and that one over there has cashew chicken. And THIS one...spring rolls. But I somehow doubt the chicken one appeals, cause you're a...wait, /are/ you a gorilla?" Subtlety was never Jubilee's strong point.

Kid has posed:
Cashew Chicken? Sign him up. He picks up THAT box and opens it up, begining to chow down on it. That chinese food may not make it all the way home. He let out a few pleased grunts and growls as he licks his fingers clean. His feet, being prehensil, take to the signing "No. I am a 50 tall giant flying purple people eat with indegiestion" a pause "...hand me the stir fry too"

Jubilee has posed:
"I didn't know Gorillas ate chickens!" Jubilee blinks wide-eyed, grabbing the veggie box and opening it up to hand it over. "Of course! Hungry people gotta eat too!" She smiles brightly, seemingly unfazed by the gorilla's sour humour. "D-do you really...eat people, too?"

Kid has posed:
Kid freezes and his eyes slooowly revolve to look at Jubilee, wide, pupils like pinpricks. A peice of chicken hanging in his mouth falls to the ground. He slowly sets the food down unsually disturbing calm. And than he whirls back around like he might crush a person as he signs quickly and angrily, the watch barely keeping up "Who are you? Where did you hear about that? And what do you want?" his eyes widen with each puncutated word. He clearly saw Jubilee as sweet as she was, as a threat. Ironicly it's jubilee sweetness and carefree attitude that keeping Kid from apeing out.

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee startles and backs away slowly. "I didn't hear about anything, except you said you were a people eater and I thought if you eat chickens then maybe you eat people too, and I happen to be a people and I would never anger an ape of your size and stature, Giant Sir," Jubilee spills in a rush of words. She talks fast, and too much, when she's nervous.

Kid has posed:
Kid is able to put clues togeather from memories and spoken words. Let see, he often stays in an illusion, and only a select few people (barring recent events) knew he was a gorilla before hand. Kid signs "....your from Xavier's arn't you?"

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee nods hesitantly. "Does that mean you hate me even more?" She's in Mutant Town, and not at all worried /most of the time/ about mentioning that she is from Xavier's. But this time might be different. "I teach there. I'm...I swing on bars and teach kids how to do it, too..."

Kid has posed:
Kid signs rolling his eyes "Grow a damn spine. Yeesh, do the students trample all over you as well? What you even teach?" he takes a seat on the bench and goes back to 'his' food. "But guess better a nice teacher than a mean one" he signs. "But no, I do not hate you" distrust the headmaster? Yes. Hate the teachers? No.

Jubilee has posed:
"I thought maybe that's why you hated me. I didn't do anything but...y'know, give you my food for the next week..." She frowns slightly and crosses her arms at his behaviour. "I teach gymnastics. Uneven parallel bars is my specialty. And English as a Second Language. Because a lot of kids who come in barely speak English at all. Why why the hell do you hate the headmaster? What did he do to you?"

Kid has posed:
Kid licks his canines "Oh if I hated you, you would know" he signs "And relax. Ain't like you can't just go to the store or dumpster and grab some. That what I do." not seeing anything wrong. That being said he seemed rather interested in what she taught. "English is not easy to learn. Took me a few weeks to 'really' learn it. And gymnastics sound fun." he at least offers the fried veggies back. Though at the other question his nose flairs as he signs his answer "Took me back to a place and time I never wanted to visit again" forget the mental choke hold - he just didn't want to relive eating his friend again "And look, I only ate a human ONCE. ONCE, and it was not out of choice. Otherwise I have never and would never eat a human willingly. Got it!?" he signs with a small snarl on his lips.

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee holds up her hands. "GOT it...stop tellin' people you're a people eater, and maybe they won't think you eat people. I mean...it's just a suggestion. And you'd make a lot more friends if you weren't so hateful. I like everybody, unless they--wait, you learned English in a few weeks? WEEKS??"

Kid has posed:
Kid grunts "I tell em I eat minds, not people, usually only to friends or folks that should know, like you knw, the head of a boarding school. Baldy is the only I told that I ate a person....and I am sooooo regretting that" he snorts after signing that. "And I ain't hateful. Damn you throw that world around alot. Do you just assume everyone hates everything or something" he finishes off the cashew chicken, letting out a happy burp. He signs "And yea. A few weeks" he wipes his jaw on his fur before signing "Kinda had too. Survival and all that"

Jubilee has posed:
"It's just that's...really fast to learn English. But no, you're being MEAN to me, and that's why I used the word hateful. And you told me you were a flying purple people eater. PEOPLE EATER." Jubilee may also not be the best with sarcasm.

Kid has posed:
Kid stares for a long moment. He looks like he is about to sign, stops, starts and stops again. He rubs his face in a 'lord help me now, cause Imma kill someone'. Deep breath. He turns up the voloumn on his watch "IT'S CALLED SARCASM! DO I LIKE 50 FEET TALL AND PURPLE AS WELL!" he turns the voloumn back down "Like come on. How does a person who teaches english not recognize sarcasm? Just HOW?" another deep breath "You call it mean, I care it honesty"

Jubilee has posed:
"HOW DO I KNOW THAT YOU DON'T TURN INTO ONE??" Jubilee retorts. "WE'RE IN MUTANT TOWN. I MIGHT TURN INTO A BIG GORILLA, FOR ALL YOU KNOW." But in her anger, little pink sparkles are paffing from her fingertips. Yeah, real scary, Jubes. REALLY intimidating.

Kid has posed:
"Cause if you did, you A) would have a better spine and B) would not have pink sparkles comming from your finger tips" he signs with a smirk. "But least you got SOME spunk. Not alot, but some"

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee glances uneasily down at her hands and shrugs. "I could give your ass a nasty lil zot, if I wanted," she sniffs indignantly. She /could/ do a lot more than that. But she's not threatening him, so no need to go there. "A pink zot. You know you like it."

Kid has posed:
"Go ahead. Can't be bad as everything else" he signs snorting. Kid scratches his belly before he signs again "So why is a mutant with the power to create adorable pink little lights, so uneasy about it?"

Jubilee has posed:
"You've just been mean to me because other people are mean to you. That's no reason to go zottin' somebody." Jubilee shifts her weight and eyes him warily. "You're not mean, you're just tryin to act mean cause you think I'm gonna be mean to you, too." She nods definitively, as if she knows she's right, even if she's not. "So YOU started it."

Kid has posed:
Kid gives a light beastial chuckle and signs "Is that so? Welp woop dee do, yea got me all figured out. Well sorry we all can't be fake ass clouds of happy lucky go sunshine princess. The real world is mean, cruel and nasty and you gotta look out for yourself first" His lips curl in a nasty grimace as he looks over Jubilee. "Cause at the end of the ain't got no one you can trust cept yourself, so buggar off."

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee sighs uneasily and looks around. She's not the kind of person who can usually walk away from someone letting them think she's their enemy. But this guy doesn't seem to budge, no matter what. "Y'know what? Fine...I gotta go get some more food to last me the week, anyway," she says. She's also not one to overstay her welcome, and 'bugger off' seems to be a clear enough command. "A'right fine, I'm goin'." She sets about gathering the food boxes and putting them in a garbage can nearby. "Sorry, I can't leave litter on the street, either." She leaves the vegetable stir-fry sitting at the gorilla's feet. "In case you get hungry later," she adds sheepishly as she picks up the last of her things.

Kid has posed:
    "Good. Can get some peace finally." he signs. Kid really can be a...difficult person "And why the hell do you keep apologizing to me? what you do with your time is your buissness." and yet despite how mean he is, Jubilee somehow still find it in her heart to leave him food. He picks up the stir-fry and stares at it a long while as Jubilee picks up her things. A sigh escapes his lips as he signs a single word "Thanks" it wasn't sarcasticly done, it was very simple...and perhaps even sincere. He doesn't move from his spot and merely waits for his officer to come from the store across the street.

Jubilee has posed:
"Welcome," Jubilee says softly, and she turns to make her way back toward Chinatown. Her demeanour seems no worse for the wear, and the little bounce in her step hasn't suffered any setbacks. Maybe, she thinks, she might get some ice cream on her way home.
