Sept 17th - In touch with the ground.

"Thanks for that," Brigid says to Alex. "I was just getting tired of all the fuss, you know?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 5:59 pm

"Hey, you let the rumor mill run wild for a day and you're going to get that, right?" Alex said. "They'll be all fussed out by tomorrow."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 6:00 pm

"Also I totally didn't want to hang around there too long after Miranda showed up."

"No offense to her, and all. Just... awkward."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 6:12 pm

"Yeah, they didn't need an audience there for that."

"And I dunno. I always feel like anything she sees she runs off to tell the Headmistress."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 6:16 pm

"I think that's kind of unfair, but I know what it's like to have parents everyone thinks are serious business."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 10:21 pm

Alex shrugged. "Maybe it is. I don't know. Just a feeling I get, you know?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 10:23 pm

"We're just lucky that ours aren't here, yeah?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 10:31 pm

"Yeah, I can do without my daily dose of interrogation and criticism, thank you very much."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 10:32 pm

"So maybe give her a break. I bet she can't get away with much."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 10:34 pm

Alex held up his hands. "Fine, fine. Sorry for having a thought."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 10:35 pm

"What? I'm not trying to hassle you here."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 10:35 pm

"Well it's not like I give her a hard time about it or anything."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 10:37 pm

"Well that's good. I'm sorry if I'm overreacting, here."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 10:38 pm

"S'all right. It's not like I don't ever overreact to, well, I guess everything, right?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 10:46 pm

"You're not as bad as you think, seriously."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 10:55 pm

He smirked and shrugged. "Feels like I'm getting bent out of shape about something all the time. I dunno." He smirked. "Maybe I am cut out to be a lawyer. Now there's a scary thought."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 11:08 pm

"You could be a lawyer for, like, public defense or advocacy stuff. That's pretty minimally evil."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 11:21 pm

"Yeah, but then people start wanting me to be a..." he gave an exagerated shudder. "Politician. Seriously, I'm kinda jealous of your family."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 11:24 pm

"My dad kind of is a politician. Or at least a head of state. Which means he has to have meetings with all sorts of horrible people when he travels."

"He hates it. I think his suit hits the floor almost as soon as he's off the Quinjet back home."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 11:30 pm

"Okay, I can't relate to the... um, dress code, but yeah. My mom loves that stuff. She was talking about starting a state senate campaign when I talked to her this summer." He made a face. "So glad I can't go back there."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 1:39 am

"Yeah, America probably isn't ready for a mutant politician."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 1:43 am

"Well when it is, it's not going to be me. I just hate all the lying and the acting and... ugh. You can't figure out who you are when you have to pretend to be something to 'keep up appearances' all the time."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 1:44 am

"...yeah, that makes a lot of sense."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 1:55 am

He looked over at her with a little smirk. "So how about you? How much is the act and how much is you?" He wasn't sure why he was actually coming out and saying things tonight instead of tiptoeing around like usual, but... well, there it was.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 2:02 am

"Figuring that out. Maybe this is me, yeah?" She gestures.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 2:06 am

"Maybe it is," he nodded. "I won't complain either way," he added.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 2:07 am

"No better time to shake things up a little, I guess."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 2:12 am

He shrugged. "One time's as good as any, I guess?" Unless getting your arm almost bit off will make you do that...

"Sorry I got all weird. I know you can take care of yourself, I just... I dunno. It's dumb."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 2:13 am

"Things just escalated really, really fast."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 2:23 am

He smirked. "Wow. That never happens, does it?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 2:27 am

"There's no 'what to do if you find a wolf the size of an SUV' in the student handbook."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 2:33 am

"You know, they really do need to add that in there? 'The school security shelters are here' doesn't really cover 'it's coming right at us.'"

"Still, shoving your hand down its throat? Badass."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 2:39 am

She shrugs.

"If it didn't work we were pretty screwed anyway."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 2:47 am

"Doesn't make it stop being badass," he maintained.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 2:48 am

"Yeah, well maybe I am a badass," she says with a toothy smirk. "Got a problem with it?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 2:54 am

"Nope," he said, smirking. "I just want you to own it for once."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 3:02 am

"Well you got me to say it, congratulations."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 3:03 am

"Only took me a year and a wolf the size of a truck. Next time I'll hire a godzilla straight off and cut to the chase."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 3:51 pm

"What, I have to say it more than once?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Dec 03, 2014 3:55 pm

"Nah. Just the next time I have to get something through to you." he chuckled, shrugging a little.
