After the Nightmare: Breakfast (OPEN)

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as additional housing and classroom space for the Institute. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for both the Institute and those University students on a meal plan. Student reactions have been mixed, and reports of paranormal activity are as of yet unsubstantiated.

"Really?" Mercy raises her brows, looks in the direction Roland went. "Hmmm. Interesting."

"Surely they wouldn't keep an addict on staff."

Steve failed to stifle another yawn.

"Not everyone who does drugs is addicted." Mercy sips her coffee, clinging to it.

I wonder if he has anything that can help me sleep.

He unconsciously felt an area of his stomach, where the knife had left its mark.

"Still doesn't seem like they'd tolerate that," he said.

Mercy shrugs and yawns. She sleepily eyes her coffee. "I should have gone with something with less milk. The latte isn't cutting it this morning."

Mercy frowns. "Astronauts? Oh... hmmm."

I guess it's a good thing that wasn't my own... stuff.

Oh God oh God they're going to figure it out. I've gotta get out of here.

Steve trembled slightly before he regained control. If he just had another distraction he could get away.

They would have killed me too if Coach hadn't shown up.

For an instant he remembered the knife vividly. The image flickered across the minds nearby.

"I'm sorry!" Steve yelled nervously as he shot to his feet and immediately ran out of the cafeteria. He was fast too.

"I think he's the one that flashed the knife image at us... either that or he was just freaked out."

Nash had just walked up with his breakfast to take a seat nearby, when he heard Kay's comment.

"Murderous astronauts. Like the Uwe Boll version of 2001." Mercy looks up at the newcomer from her flopped posture at the table.

"Hmmm, I guess it could have been somebody's dream. I was thinking it was something else though. I don't know, it was weird, and really vivid. And I remembered it clearly the next morning, which I don't usually do."

Mercy finishes off her coffee, yawns, and stretches both her arms and wings.

"Yeah, yesterday." She flexes her wings. "They do make a statement, don't they? The statement is, 'You're not welcome here!'." She shrugs.

"It's pretty cool. Makes skirts hazardous though."

She bats the empty coffee cup back and forth between her hands on the table.

"My wings aren't really the part of my power that I like." Dark... something. Some kind of energy or non-Euclidean fluid, black, but seeming to flash colors until you look closely. Whatever it is, it springs from Mercy's hand and envelops the cup, stopping its trajectory. The cup is now encased in darkforce.

Mercy's skirt comment gives Nash a certain mental image accompanied by a moment in contemplation. Fortunately for Nash Steve isn't there to see it, though others might notice Nash blushing just little a bit.

“What is that?”

They're probably black.
