Blink has posed:
Blink has been slowly exploring the school since getting permission to be on campus. Trying to stay out of anywhere she doesn't belong. But the entire place is interesting to her. Today finds her out in the garden, walking along the rows of plants. She stops to check some winter vegetables that have been planted and will be getting ready for picking in Spring.

The area brings her mixed memories. Being outdoors and around the plants can be nice. Though it also brings back childhood memories that sometimes included working in such areas. So her expression is just a little more subdued than normal. She's playing with her long hair, full of purple and magenta accents as it falls over one shoulder. The gesture perhaps betraying those darker memories to those who know her mannerisms well, though barring Lorna walking out, none such are here.

Rage has posed:
Heading out into the garden is Andrea with a look of emotion on her face. Pensive. Frustrated. Sad. She travels down her favorite path through the colorful flowers, nudging a rock to the side at times back into the flower beds. She's wearing her Xavier's sweater and a pair of snug jeggings for the nicer weather, enjoying the temperature now that Spring is finally rolling into New York.5R
As she spies the other in the distance, she slows down her step, looking curiously upwards at the new face, trying to place her age. "Hey." She calls over with a lift of her hand in salutations, looking to employ a friendly greeting.

Blink has posed:
Blink is wearing more of a hero's costume than normal clothing, though definitely not X-men or Andrea's team. Black tights and a jacket that you wouldn't see on a civilian. The woman looks up. The green irises do make it a little more difficult than normal to put an age to her, but Blink looks like she's probably college-aged at least.

"Hello," she says, giving a friendly enough smile and a wave. But also looking just a little uncertain. "It's ok to be out here, right? I didn't think anyone would mind," she says, hands moving to clasp before herself as she walks slowly in the direction of Andrea.

Rage has posed:
The popstar gives a bit of a grin. "It's okay. It's for the students and staff to enjoy. I don't recognize you though, and you aren't shooting lasers at me, so I'm assuming you're a guest or a new transfer?" Andrea pauses in front of her, giving her a quick up and down glance of her eyes. "My name is Andrea. I'm a Senior here."

Blink has posed:
The Asian girl gives a soft, pretty smile to Andrea as she gets the affirmation it is ok for her to be in the garden. "I'm Clarice. Also known as Blink," she says. "I'm from Genosha. Security for Princess Lorna. Though she really doesn't need me at her side when she's in the school. So I just kind of wander and get some time off then," she says.

Blink looks towards the castle that serves as a school. "It's really amazing that you have this place. How young do the students start here? Is it only high school, or are there younger?" she asks curiously.

Rage has posed:
"We have some younger students, yes, going down to middle school I believe." Andrea says as she rubs the back of her neck. Taking a seat, she settles down into a bench and then stares out across the garden. "I have not been to Gensoha but I have heard some interesting stories about it. Lorna is a friend of mine. We've gone shopping together, was really fun."

Giving a stretch, she uncaps the bottle of water that she brought with her and takes a long sip from it. "So, are you staying here then with us while she hangs out? And what kinda body guarding do you do? Like, you're a fighter or something?"

Blink has posed:
Blink moves over to where Andrea sits down, Blink motions to see if it would be ok to take a seat there too. If it is, she sits down and says. "It's beautiful. So much warmer than here," the Asian mutant says with a faint grin. "I took a couple of people to the beach there last night. Rogue and a teacher named Bobby. If you'd like to go sometime... I figure we should get Princess Lorna to authorize it, just in case any security should happen by while we're there, but, yes, it is beautiful really."

Blink gives a little shake of her head. "No, I'm not a fighter. Or... I mean, ok yes I can fight. But I'm most effective helping those around me fight. Opening teleportals to redirect attacks sent at them. Opening others to let allies attack from behind, or gain momentum or various other advantages."

Rage has posed:
"Huh." Andrea says as she glances over at her. "That's a very useful power. I guess you can say I am a fighter. I turn into a seven foot werewolf and I can easily lift a car and tear things apart with my claws. I can also turn into a wolf. Heightened senses and superior tracking abilities." She says as she taps herself on the nose. "Besides that ... world famous popstar?" She says with a soft laugh. "I would love to see Genosha sometime."

Blink has posed:
Blink gives a soft smile. "Thank you. It actually doesn't pair with Princess Lorna as much since she doesn't... like... shoot things in a straight line. But, I can help her move about the world in a blink. And just getting out of danger is useful. And... well, I can hurt people too, but... I don't like doing that," she says, giving a like bashful look.

"So you're -that- Andre then?" Blink confirms, as if having thought so but wasn't sure. "I didn't realize you went to school anywhere. I just figured you... lived in Hollywood or... somewhere glamorous or something," Clarice says, looking down a little shyly and smiling.
