Owner	Pose
Kitty Pryde	Up here in the tower, on the furniture is one Kitty Pride with a tea cup in hand. She's up here to clear her head and enjoy the view from up here, she's relaxed looking in summer wear and lounging. Up here is where Kitty has picked to relax, she's sipping tea all genteel like. THere's even no Lockheed on her head, he's coiled up on her ankles catching up on much needed rest, as is Kittty. Shades aren't on, they are atop her head as she's relaxing and lazing around. See. Kitty does know how to have fun and relax...
Alice	Alice stretches as she slips out of the little tower to get a view on the land, a bucket of icecream in her hand, a spoon in the ther. Because, sitting on the roof and eating icecream was like a past time for her back as a kid, and now she ain't gonna stop that. At which point it gets her up to the roof just when Kitty is there too. "Oh, hey there!" she greets, pulling the icecream back to behind her back, becasue... uhm... just one spoon and all.
Shannon	It's a beautiful, mid-May afternoon, with no studies or classes due for that particular day. It was also an afternoon during the general lockdown of the school, and that has left a certain winged teen with cabin fever. She's soaring around the grounds, and /thinks/ she has found a clear, open retreat on top of the roof tower.      However, things were not as they seemed.      Damn it. Well, maybe a little company wasn't a bad thing, either....
Kitty Pryde	Kitty's of the opinion that spoons are solely for cereal. Ice cream is for fingers and hands and eating like a kid. She's not quite got that out of her head yet...but reaching over she pets lockheed and looks over to Alice. "Whatcha hiding?" she jokes. "You come up here, you're chilling out. Did you bring snacks or something?" Kitty asks waving Alice over to a chair, and spies a winged Shannon, too. With a whistle, Kitty's all but inviting her over. Like, whistle, hey, come over here and join us to chill out and relax! Kitty's all for company right now. She's oft enough alone in her office. So she's glad for the company.
Alice	"You remember what I told you about rooftops? For me, that's an icecream spot. Chocolate chip-mint icecream." Alice notes, lifting the bucket of that style. Not a huge one. "And you said your pet dragon may not have dairy."
Shannon	"NO!" That is a very emphatic negative from Shannon as she lands, right between the proffered bucket of ice cream and Lockheed. "Feeding that little stinker dairy resulted in the first cookout of the year because the kitchen had to be fumigated. And it was ON MY HEAD. Literally. Lockheed was using MY HEAD as a HAT STAND." Though she shoots Lockheed a filthy look, she does reach down and scritch the little dragon affectionately atop his head.      She's in her favorite pale blue sundress and flip-flops that day, and yes, she is still modest. She's figured out the trick of modesty so she can wear her favorite dresses and still fly in them. A smile is offered to both Kitty and Alice, and she plops down on the rooftop nearby. "This is an ice cream spot for you, a thinking spot for me. Well, I've got a few of those. Out by the lake is one of them. The stables is another... animals make more sense than people sometimes." Chuckling, she shrugs. "The kitchen's another."
Josiah	Josiah comes to the rooftop and smiles. "Well look here. A shindig." He says letting his cajun accent come to the surface. He walks over to them and nods to Shannon. "Having fun?" He asks curiously as he looks to alice. "Name's Josiah." He says offering his hand.
Kitty Pryde	Kitty looks to Shannon and cracks up giggling. "You're not gonna forgive him, are you?" she asks and looks thoughtful. "Well if we all eat the ice cream that takes care of the problem" Kitty observes with a nod. "Hey you" she nods to Josiah, wanting to make amends for tearing into them all. She's guilty about that and hating herself for doing this, but....but....Kitty's job is to keep the students safe and guide them. It says guidance on her CV after all. And guide she will. Looking over them all, Kitty lounges more, if that's at all possible and waves to Shannon then watches Alice carefully, with a quiet look, the sort of loook she gives people who she's sure are up to somethig but can't prove. Hey, she's not Emma, she can't make Alice reveal anything...nah. Instead, Kitty waits, pulling on her shades.
Alice	"That's why I did not offer it in the first place, Shannon." Alice notes, smiling a little as she turns the bucket in her hand. "Eh, people coming in and I got just one spoon... gosh..." she sighs as she eyes the thing, then the others gathering. "People never make sense, unless they are a movie character."
Shannon	Nodding to Josiah, Shannon leans in for a bit of a hug; her cheeks go lightly rosy, and she smiles. "Can't complain. You?" Alice gets a chuckle and a nod, her eyes crinkling up at the corners with mirth. "Wise choice. Though... oh it was tempting to do just that to him yesterday at the coffee shop with Kitty." She shrugs and smiles. "I could head on down to the kitchen for a few more spoons if you like. And maybe some more ice cream while I'm at it. Heck, we might as well make a thing of it, toppings and all. Make your own sundaes!"
Josiah	Josiah hugs her back and he looks to the others. He smiles and he puts his hands behind his back. "Miss Pryde, fancy seeing you here. Break any more spirits?" He asks teasingly. He then looks to Alice and he looks to the others. He then takes a running leap off the roof, bright white energy wings form on his back as they slow his descent and he heads to the kitchen.
Kitty Pryde	"It's my job to tell people no, you can't go to Harvard" Kitty teases right back. "Try somewhere you enjoy" she nods and watches him fly off. "You know those things called stairs? They exist" she calls after him giggling a little. Kitty's not so serious when she's not at work. Like now, she can joke around with the students. hey. It helps being only a little bit older than them and the same age as a college junior. 21, to be exact. She watches Shannon then Alice. "Going of fthe size of the bucket, well, we need bigger buckets or small spoons. You know those plastic ones they do in ice cream stores? Yeah those"
Alice	"Seems like we got a volunteer." Alice notes as Josiah dashes down, shrugging a little. "Just need some stuff to work with, right? I mean, spoons, ice, whipped cream, chocolate chips and sprinkles. I was just planning to binge on the portion, which is like one bucket, not meet up with everybody, but hey, why not turn it into a stint?"
Shannon	Shannon is just spreading her wings to leap off the rooftop and head to the kitchen, when Josiah beats her to it! She rolls her eyes and chuckles, ruffling her wings and settling them back in behind her. The edges still look a little ragged from stress molting, but at least no more feathers are falling out. "Sheesh. And I thought I was quick on the wing. I wonder who'd win a race... Josiah, or me." She lofts her eyebrows and grins. "You know," she adds, her eyes twinkling. "We could get all the fliers out in the mansion for a race, with the winner treated to takeout from their favorite place. What do you think?"
Josiah	Josiah comes back with spoons and buckets of ice cream as well as sprinkles and syrup and he offers it to the others. "There we go." HE says as he smiles at them. He then looks to Kitty. "I once considered becoming a priest. but I like girls way to much." He says jokingly.
Samuel Guthrie	Samuel Guthrie comes flying over towards the roof. He lands having a bag from the comic/rpg shop in salem center in hand. He lifts the goggles looking around surprised a bit with as many folks on the roof.
Kitty Pryde	Kitty actually goes 'squeeeeeeeee' at the haul of toppings, ice cream, and...and more importantly, spoons! Se. Kitty's not a total monster as she waves to Sam. "I think for his birthday we ought to...." she begins, evil glint in her eye. "Hmm, I got the peerfect gift for him, and themed party" Kitty says tapping her nose as she grins and looks to Shannon then Alice, Josiah then Sam. "You made the right choice" Kitty nods to Josiah/ "You're here and bringing us ice cream. I don't know if that's holy work...but..."
Alice	"All the fliers? With the speed he gave, he has a good headstart. Though I don't know your top speed Shannon." Alice shrugs, puting the icecream bucket on the railing as they wait for the returner, then offering a shrug. "A priest is allowed to like girls, and greek orthodox priests are expected to be married. Same for Rabbi. Just choose a religion that fits with that. But honestly? You're a tad too young for me." Like, some 3+ years. "I guess introducions are in order, right? Alice, College first year." she notes, eying over both Josiah and Sam while extending her hand. "Also, worked in a costume and prop shop."
Shannon	A silvery giggle bubbles up from within Shannon, her wing coming up to cover her face. "Ha! You might not think it's holy work, Kitty, but try telling that to our stomachs!" Her eyes twinkle and crinkle up at the corners with mirth as she peers over at Josiah. "Thank you."      Alice gets a grin, and she seems to think for a moment. "Last time I was clocked in the danger room, my top comfortable sustained speed was 75 mph, though I hope to get better since my physiology in that regard is pretty similar to Warren's."      Aaaaand then there's the sonic boom. Or, as Shannon called it... fire farts. Grinning, she hugs Sam. "Heya big brother. I swear, you have a radar built in somewhere for ice cream and stuff."
Josiah	"I am not allowed near the danger room. My abilities dont affect anything but living things." Josiah says as he looks to Alice and nods. "Josiah." He says as he turns to Sam and nods. "Having fun?" He says gesturing to his bag.
Samuel Guthrie	Samuel Guthrie shakes his hand and says "Sam, a pleasure to meet ya college student, guidance counselor, assistant teacher, and part time pain in the butt." He offers, a smile, and looks over to Josiah "Should still be getting some training in there, scott put a no on you in there?
Josiah	"I am not a new mutant. The danger room is off limits." Josiah explains to Sam. "Havent asked him. To be honest I loathe combat." He says as he shrugs. "Must be a weirdo, being a guy who dont like fighting or blood sports."
Kitty Pryde	"I" Kitty offers, "Am only one out of those four things. Okay, one a half" Kitty adds. She went on a break from Oxford University but, but....look where it's got her, up heere eating ice cream. "So, let's see. Speaking of the Danger Room, I've been stuck in my office the past few days" Kitty shrugs, "I got to get back in there, but....but...." Kitty muses, "But, I've been stuck doing paperwork. Honestly. That kitchen fracas has me working overtime, I've been adding to files" Kitty says with a look over them all and to the roof again, e njoying this entirely too much.
Shannon	"You know," Shannon begins, resting her hand gently on Josiah's shoulder. "Combat's not the greatest thing in the world. But think about it a moment. If you're out there healing somebody, it can't hurt to learn to at least defend yourself and them well." Her gaze turns out towards the lake, shimmering silver and glinting gold in the afternoon sunlight. "It's why I'm picking up some hand-to-hand from Logan, and the bo staff from Mr. LeBeau. Something much less likely to be lethal."      Snickering lightly, she nudges Sam in the ribs, glancing at him, Kitty, and then of course, Lockheed. "Unlike dragon fumes or fire toots."      Grinning at Kitty, she nudges her just a little bit. "When's there going to be another parkour course, do you know? Or are there any flight agility courses in there I haven't tried yet? But parkour... yeah, that's something all of us could do."
Alice	"Eh, don't fret it. First and last time I was in there I figured out the hard way that the holograms lack proper stuff on them and would be kinda immune to getting polymer-bent. I mean, they do lack substance in that regards, so..." Alice shrugs, pulling off the lid from the mint icecream she had brought and then burying her spoon in the melting stuff. "Each got their specialities, right? Mine's clearly not jumping between rooftops or punching holopeople."
Samuel Guthrie	Samuel Guthrie looks between the group and says "Some of the holograms have things under them, but that is a talk for another day. I would suggest some hand to hand training even if not in the danger room, for you specially Josiah. "Some people will assume your a faith healer, some a mutant, few realizing a bit of both, but your liable to have people come after you. Just because one knows how to defend himself and those around him does not mean he enjoys fighting, it is more hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
Josiah	"Hard to affect the life forces of holo people." Josiah says as he forms a lightforce spoon and begins eating some ice cream. He then looks to Kitty and smiles. "I see the value of self defense. Dont get me wrong I am not no pacifist. Just because I dont believe in violence means it wont affect me." He says as he looks to Sam. "I can see that."
Kitty Pryde	Kitty nods. "Word" shee adds and looks to the ice cream. "Mind if I grab a spoon?" she adds , and nudges Lockheed off to the side with a foot. "You sleep over there. Or I can walk out over there and eat my ice cream" she offers. Sure, Kit Kat. Walk off the room, and show off air walking out to a safe distance to enjoy ice cream. Why not? Watching them all, Kitty nods to Josiah. "Doesn't matter if you're a pacificst and you know the value of self-defense. It's true, people are going to come at you and who knows what they'll do. It's better to be safe than sorry, right?" she adds and looks past them to the view and nods more to herself. Getting up she only moves a little way and finds a more comfortable spot to sit.
Alice	"As long as there's no lawbreaking involved, knowing how to defend yourself is all perfect, right? I mean, Self defense is like the one thing that allows beating people because they break the law. Not that I m any good at it."
Shannon	"Only ever had to really defend myself out in public once," Shannon adds, grimacing. "I kept trying to walk away, but three anti-mutant thugs wouldn't have any of it. So they got the flying drop-kick from me. One of them got through to me in the process, though... nailed me on my right shin. That's the time you were in the wellness office with me, Sam, when I was getting those stitches." She smiles some. "I was glad for all the practice back here a lot of times though. Some of the tales I could tell...!"
Samuel Guthrie	Samuel Guthrie looks over to Josh and says "You should be able to use your light like you would a normal weapon in the danger room. Ah mean f you can lift ice cream with it, should be able to bash robots with it." He offers and says "And remember Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. With most of us here, we don't fight fr ourselves we fight for others.
Kitty Pryde	Kitty munches more and gets up, checking her phone with a smile and looks to the group. "Ah, I need to get going" she says apologetically, "I have things to do but it's been great to see you all again" Kitty nods and smiles.
Alice	Alice chuckles a bit, starting to bend down some, immitating a stubby dwarfish figure before quoting in the best way you can quoe a green alien with a stick - including the fitting gestures. "Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship."
Shannon	Shannon feels her phone do its little buzzing dance in her brown leather bag, and she pulls it out. Her expression just goes completely blank for a moment, then her brows furrow. A few choice words in varied languages are muttered under her breath, and she taps out a quick reply, stuffing her phone back away in the bag.      Thankfully, Alice's impersonation of Yoda is a welcome distraction, leaving her chuckling softly. "When nine hundred years old /you/ reach, look as good you will not, hmm? Hehehehe."
Josiah	Josiah nods as he listens to Sam. He then nods to Kitty and he turns to Shannon. "Care to share with the rest of the class?" He asks curiously as he studies the winged teen. He then looks to Alice and smirks a bit at the yoda impersonation.
Samuel Guthrie	Samuel Guthrie does raise a brow looking over to Shannon but is quiet for now.
Shannon	Shannon grumbles as she feels her phone do its little dance again. This time, her swearing is definitely more vociferous, as she jabs at her phone, and puts it away just as quickly. She turns on her heel and perches on the edge of the roof, her lips set in a thin line.
Alice	Alice snorts at the reply, smiling as shannon reaches for her phone "oh come on.... phones on the roof have no style.... but ok, let's dig in before we have only goop left."
Josiah	Josiah walks over to Shannon and he moves to hug her. In truth he did so he could filch her phone from her bag. He wasnt a natural born thief so she may notice. "So what are reading which has you so upset?" He says moving away to avoid the phone being taken back before he found out.
Samuel Guthrie	Samuel Guthrie looks to the other guy and says "Just so ya realize grabbing someone elses phone good way to get yaself thrown off the roof kiddo. She aint wanting to tell us for some reason.
Shannon	The messages on her phone are fading already, before Josiah can even have a chance at reading them. But Shannon's frown hasn't faded, and the sigh that escapes her is a heavy one. "I'm pretty sure you heard about Superman's return, right?" She pinches the bridge of her nose, and shakes her head, lofting one wing in lieu of raising her hand. "Yeah. I was there. Stayed mostly in the background, but I guess not quite enough. Remind me not to leave school grounds for a while, m'kay?"
Josiah	Josiah hands the woman back her phone. "So your in the newspaper. noting majorly bad." He says as he moves a hand to Shannon's shoulder and rubs it. He then looks to Samuel. "And your comfortable with someone as close as your sister having secrets which may affect her being able to leave?
Shannon	Shannon accepts her phone back and slides it back into her little brown bag, hugging Josiah and holding on for a moment. "Thanks," she murmurs. "Think we could do a picnic by the lake, while we're still on lockdown here at the school? Coney Island next chance we get." She rubs her temples a little bit, and cracks a grin as she leans back. "Guess I could always pull a Phantom of the Opera and go for a mask or something, if I absolutely /have/ to go and do a stupid like that again..."
Samuel Guthrie	Samuel Guthrie looks to Shannon and says "If your worried about someone recognizing you, get Hank to play with your image inducer." He turns to Josh "Like no, but trust her to come to me about it if it is something important yea, and even if Ah was worried about it would not out her about it in public, would talk to her in private, but hell Ah don't go looking through Alexis's phone and we ... go on vacation together."
