---

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie is in the Rec room, but tonight, instead of watching TV, he has some music playing and a few school books open looking through them and making some notes in a note pad. Drink and snack mix nearby.

Nightingale has posed:
     It's late at night--or is that early in the morning?--and most students are fast asleep. The few that aren't are likely either in their rooms, or getting a little bit of studying in elsewhere. Shannon's neither one, just flopped down on a beanbag with a very unhealthy snack--a big bowl of BBQ flavored chips. Her mind seems to be wandering, her attention half on some late-night classic TV rerun... it looks like Hogan's Heroes, of all things.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks up over his book, and smirks a bit, in the corner, she may not have noticed him, or may have. He will wait till a quiet moment and says "I know nothing nothing." Just to catch her reaction.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon giggles softly, flicking a chip over at Sam. "Goofball." Peering over at the books near him, she raises her eyebrows. "Whatcha styding?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie chuckles a bit and says "Some stuff for that business class. " He will try to catch the chip, and says "What you doing up?

Nightingale has posed:
     "Just couldn't sleep. Figured I'd come chill out, didn't think anybody else would be awake." Shannon chomps down on a chip. "It was tempting to hit the books, but if I do at this hour, then there's no way my mind will shut down enough for sleep."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over and says "Ah made sure, Ah aint got any early morning classes, one of the benefits of college classes. " He admits "Anything interesting been going on? Went to say hi at the party but you left quick.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon shrugs and hangs her head a little. "Sorry about that. I just didn't want to repeat the Hellfire, you know? No business being in a bar after the birthday pleasantries were done and over with."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie 's brow raises and says "What happened at the Hellfire club Shannon?"

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon grins a little sheepishly. "I went to drop Betsy off her birthday present and the usual pleasantries. Nothing happened, but I didn't hear the end of it for a while simply for being there. Thanks, I'd rather not repeat that."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over and says "Well hellfire has a bit more of a reputation. Harry's is pretty much our hang out for those who are of age, no bad rep with it." He will tell her.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon nods, and grins a little bit, ducking her head. "Yeah but I'm not of age, so I still shouldn't have been there. But still... aw, hell, it was Mr. Parker's birthday, I couldn't go without at least dropping off his present and wishing him well, then skedaddling out of there as soon as it was polite."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Well for the party it was considered private rented out So pretty sure it was ok."

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon nods, and smiles some. "He was pretty well swamped anyways, I don't think he even heard me wish him happy birthday, even though I was right next to him." She shrugs lightly and munches on a few more chips. "As many people as were there, guess it's not too surprising. I actually wound up talking to Captain Rogers more than I had a chance to say hello to the birthday boy."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie chuckles and nods "Were ya there when Stark showed up?" He will ask her munching a bit on his snackage

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon rolls her eyes and laughs. "Ohhhhh yeah. Let's hope he never chooses to go into music for a career." She flicks another chip at Sam and grins. "That's about the time I bugged out of there."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Well I can see why ya would leave then, I was DD, so I was pretty much there to the end or leaving and coming back"

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon nods. "Kind of felt a little like a fifth wheel, anyways. So yeah, it worked out in the end. Got out while the getting was good."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Well next time if I am there you can always come sit and chat with me, specially if I am on DD duty. So, you likeing your classes?""

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon nods. "So far, so good. Mr. McCoy got me on some extra biology classes because of the whole healing thing. Figured it couldn't hurt to back it up with a little studying. Keeping my ear to the ground for any other interesting classes that might crop up during the year. Especially if Kurt winds up teaching a drama class. That'd be a blast."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods his head a bit and says "HE will probbaly give ya private lessons if your interested even if there are not actual classes. He enjoys the subject, and may give ya earl flynn movies as homework.,

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon chuckles and shrugs. "As tempting as that is... he's probably got a whole lot more important things to do." She sighs lightly and hugs her knees to her chest, resting her chin on top of them. "I just count myself lucky for those couple times I actually got to work with him a bit."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Well Ah am sure he will teach Acrobatics Ah am sure, some of the movies Ah showed you Ah learned from either her or spiderman."

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon shrugs a little, and tries to smile. "Why is it a whole lot easier facing down something that could kill you, than it is opening your mouth and going for something you want?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Cause usually when your facing the danger your doing it for someone else, when your wanting something fore yourself, you get the whole "Am AH worthy, Ah can do with out, Ah don't want to bother someone for me.""

Nightingale has posed:
     "Damn right I don't want to bother someone for something so selfish as lessons like that. Even if it'd be a ton of fun. And actually did my flying a lot of good." Shannon shakes her head a little bit. "He's got a lot more to look after than that, so..." She shrugs and smiles some.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Look at it this way though, the more you know, and the more your able to do, the more your able to help others, and prepared for oddness you may encounter."

Nightingale has posed:
     "Still seems kind of selfish." She huffs a sigh and cracks a bit of a smile. "Ah, well, I guess..."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie chuckles and says "Yup, stubborn little sister." He grins at her "Kin to me, yea Ah think so."

Nightingale has posed:
     "You sure we're not related by blood somewhere along the line there, Goofball?" Shannon rolls her eyes and flicks another chip at him, not particularly caring where it lands as long as it's in his general vicinity. "When's the last time you asked for something for yourself?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie hmms and says "About 6 or 8 months ago last big thing, but Ah made sure, I presented how it was helping others as well.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon tilts her head, listening. "What was it all about? I mean, if it's not prying." The TV seems forgotten for the moment, as are the snacks, as she listens to her adopted older brother. He usually seemed to have a pretty good handle on things.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie chuckles and says "The Club." He looks over to her, and says "Ah wanted to run it, So Ah worked up how it would help people, and make him money and then went to Berto with the purposal.

Nightingale has posed:
     "So how come you have the stones to do something like that, and I haven't got the you-know-whats when it comes to something a lot smaller... and a bit more selfish?" She shakes her head, and grimaces. "Facing -parties- is a lot easier than that."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks to her, and says "Well you want to know probably the honest biggest part of it?

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Ah have known Bobby for ever it seems, and consider him like a brother, and even thought Bobby may have more money than Stark, Ah still made sure I could show it to him as making money."

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon is a whole lot more quiet after that, lost in thought. "Yeah, well you had that hook to use. I don't."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Yea, but this is something totally different and actually is something Ah think Kurt would enjoy."

Nightingale has posed:
     "Fine, then -you- ask him!" Shannon huffs a little bit, blowing a stray bit of hair out of her face. No dice. It just flops back down between her eyes again, to comical effect.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie grins at her and had a mischivous twinkle to his eye "Oh ok Ah will ask him." He munches a bit more of his food

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon grabs a pillow from a nearby sofa and flings it in Sam's direction, rolling her eyes and giggling. "You'd actually do it too, wouldn't you? For something that silly and selfish?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles and catches the pillow, so not to let it knock stuff around. "Oh yea, Cause Ah think you and he would both enjoy it and if he did not have the time He would tell ya, so nothing lost.

Nightingale has posed:
     "Well, that -was- half the fun, seeing it made him happy too. Still... it's hard to shake feeling like it's pretty selfish to ask." Grumbling half-playfully, Shannon extricates herself from the cushiness of the beanbag, to chase down the pillow and return it to its proper place.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smirks a bit and says "You both looked like you had alot of fun from my point of view.

Nightingale has posed:
     "It felt damn good just feeling -alive- for once, not tiptoeing around or trying to hold anything back. Just throwing myself into the whole thing, even though some of the stuff he had me doing up there, I'd never tried. So he was damn lucky I didn't crash us both into the ground." Shannon chuckles a bit and shrugs.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "He had confidence in you and was watching you, If you had came close to cashing I am pretty sure he would have ported you up to a distance to get your bearings." He starts pacing up "But sleep time for me kiddo.""

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon nods. "Yeah, I should probably get some sleep, too. Tell ya what, whichever of us runs into him first, that's who asks." She goes to retrieve her bowl of chips to take with her for a bedtime snack, but makes sure to wrap Sam up in a massive hug. "Sleep well when you get there, okay?"
