Altamira lay in the hottub around the pool, relaxing, a towel draped over her eyes.

Miranda had contemplated trying out this "hot tub" thing that she'd heard some of the students talking about. She finally figured out the school swimsuit that she'd gotten and made her way down. As she approached the hot tub though, she stopped in her tracks, just 'staring' at Altamira.

"Is there a problem?" Mira said, turning to look at Miranda.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 4:39 pm

"Ummm... no... no problem," she said, as she moved over and experimentally tested the water.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 4:58 pm

The water was perhaps a bit hotter than normal, but otherwise fine.

"I apologize for the temperature, but I don't think it would be safe if I turned it up to something that would be truly comfortable for me."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 5:12 pm

"I can see how that might be the case," she said, opting to just sit on the edge with her feet in the water.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 5:28 pm

"I...don't know you, do I? Sometimes it's so hard to tell."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 5:33 pm

"I'm new here. My name's Miranda."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 5:50 pm

"Allow me to be the first to welcome you to Xaviers, then. My name is Altamira."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 5:57 pm

"It's nice to meet you. You're a college student?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 6:07 pm

"I was. I...took some time off for my work, but I'm hanging around here now."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 6:08 pm

"That's cool," she said, making a studious attempt not to look at Altamira. "Like it here?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 6:09 pm

"I....suppose so. It's quiet. Quiet's good sometimes, right?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 6:20 pm

"I've had my share of too quiet and too busy."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 6:29 pm

"I'm sorry to hear it.

How do you like it here, so far?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 6:34 pm

"It's a nice place. The people are nice. Still trying to figure out classes. I've... been out of circulation for a while."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 7:03 pm

Mira closed her eyes for a moment.

"Yes. Yes, I can see that. It can be hard, adjusting back to normal life."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 7:04 pm

"Still trying to remember what normal's like."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 7:30 pm

"Well, don't look at me. I haven't the faintest idea what normal is supposed to be, either."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 7:36 pm

"Well, I'm in good company the, I guess."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 7:38 pm

"The best company, sweetheart. We're all mad here, don't you know."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 7:45 pm

"I'm beginning to get that."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 7:55 pm

"So, just relax and let yourself fit right in."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Apr 08, 2014 7:50 am

"It's harder than I thought it would be."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Apr 08, 2014 1:51 pm

"What are you having trouble with? Perhaps I could help."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Apr 08, 2014 1:52 pm

"There's just so much I've apparently missed. Music, movies, news, I feel like I'm pulled every direction as I try to catch up."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Apr 08, 2014 2:17 pm

"Don't focus on everything at once. That will overwhelm you."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Apr 08, 2014 2:21 pm

"But where do I start?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Apr 08, 2014 2:54 pm

"Well, what interests you? Don't try to decide what's important, straight off the bat."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Apr 08, 2014 5:48 pm

"I think maybe I should start with reading," she said. "Just need to find some good books."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Apr 09, 2014 2:58 pm

"Oh? What are you interested in, then?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Apr 09, 2014 2:59 pm

"Don't know," she admitted. "Something with a happy ending."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Apr 09, 2014 3:00 pm

"Ah. Fantasy, then."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Apr 09, 2014 3:00 pm

"Is a happy ending that unlikely?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Apr 09, 2014 4:29 pm

"I suppose it depends on your definition."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Apr 09, 2014 4:31 pm

"How would you define a happy ending?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Apr 09, 2014 5:11 pm

"It depends on what makes you happy.

And, what you define as an ending. Most of what you consider an ending aren't so, and the ones that are are rather permanent."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Thu Apr 10, 2014 12:00 pm

"I see," she said, though she wasn't entirely positive that she did.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Apr 10, 2014 2:18 pm

"Just remember, there's always another page."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Thu Apr 10, 2014 2:19 pm

"Are you ever scared of finding what's on the other side of that page?"
