The Parlor: The New Haunt ((Open Thread))

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.

"Didn't your mom ever tell you that that is the most offensive thing you can do to a ghost?" Regan asks, rubbing her forehead.

"Yeah, it is pretty boring," Regan agrees, "Haley, let's go back to talking about your disgusting sex life. I'll bet she can help."

"She looks like she gets a lot of guys."

"I'm not sure if I'll be much help. But I can certainly try." she says cheerfully. If she even understood Regan's insults she's doing a good job ignoring them.

"This is how rumors start, Regan. Next thing I know I'll be getting called the sluttiest girl on campus, and even the fucking teachers will look at me like I'm a whore or some shit." she said with a certain amount of panic in her voice.

"My my, I seem to walk into conversations at the most apropriate times," Victoria mused as she walked in. Today, contrary to how Haley had seen her, she was in a tank top and leather pants, her barbed wire tattoos on full display.

VIctoria gave her a long one-over "Obviously."

"So," she said, turning her attention to Ashlie and Haley, "What did I just walk in on, darlings?"
