Issue 1 Downtime

Two parties in such a short timespan? Unheard of! Yet, here one was, designed to get the XI students to know and interact with their XU counterparts. Unlike the welcome home party, this was indoors, and had a lot more, y'know, music and stuff. The TV was on, there was popcorn and sodas and punch and things.

Kay made her way into the room and looked around, feeling a little stupid for being the first of the highschoolers to arrive and stands next to the doorway awkwardly rubbing her arm.

Victoria came in next, dressed in a dress that, while not goth by any means (god forbid she dress all in black all the time), certainly seemed to play up the 'witchy' aspect a bit. She stopped in the doorway, leaning against it so she was as close to 'behind Kay' as she could manage. "Well, someone certainly seems excited to be here," she teased.

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 2:29 pm**

"Gah!" she jumps a little. "Don't sneak up on me like that!" she laughs a bit nervously.

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 2:34 pm**

Victoria grinned and walked into the room. "Well, you're just so cute when you're looking all nervous and self-conscious, how could I resist?" she teased. "So how do you like England so far?"

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 2:44 pm**

"It's neat, I guess? I like the mansion."

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 3:14 pm**

"I know, right? Much better than some stuffy school building," she said with a smirk. "We'll have to show you London sometime. If they don't keep you all too busy to get out, at least."

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 3:41 pm**

"I dunno..." she mumbles.

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 7:30 pm**

Victoria smirked. "Oh, come on, we could go on a shopping spree. I still haven't been able to do anything to make up for that mess in the woods."

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 7:56 pm**

"Aren't people gonna stare?"

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 8:04 pm**

Victoria cocked an eyebrow with a little smirk. "At which of us?"

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 8:46 pm**

Dana enters the room, heading to the table to get a soda.

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 8:59 pm**

"Well you just look pale. I'm pale and a fish."

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 9:00 pm**

"hey Dana." Christie said.

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 9:06 pm**

"Hello, Christie," Dana says, "Would you like a soda?"

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 9:08 pm**

Nash came in and looked around. The party wasn't really wasn't his type of thing, but he decided to at least get some food and drink out of it.

He headed over to the refreshments and picked up a cup of punch and a bag of popcorn before looking for somewhere to sit down.

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 9:28 pm**

"I'm more than pale, darling, and you do not look like a fish. I can't put my finger on what, really, but whatever it is, it looks good on you. You'll see," Victoria said with a playful smile.

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 9:31 pm**

"Sure, that would be great." Christie said.

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 9:33 pm**

Trev came in dressed in a black button down shirt and a pair of nice jeans with Stephanie at his side, they grabbed some punch and seemed to be making small talk and catching up. He was, at the moment, pretty glad he'd asked Steph to come with so he wouldn't be the lone old person amongst all the kids.

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 9:38 pm**

"What would you like?" Dana asks.

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 9:52 pm**

Victoria Valentine wrote:"I'm more than pale, darling, and you do not look like a fish. I can't put my finger on what, really, but whatever it is, it looks good on you. You'll see," Victoria said with a playful smile.

"Well maybe... Fish or not, I still stick out."

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 10:39 pm**

"Well, we both know that we'll both stick out. So we'll just make it a good sticking out."

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 10:44 pm**

"Okay." she reluctantly agrees.

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 10:47 pm**

She smiled at Kay reassuringly. "Darling, I want you to ask yourself right now if I'm enough of a bitch to lie to you while I'm pulling you out of your comfort zone."

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 10:54 pm**

"No, you're just... I dunno. I can't imagine anyone ever throwing rocks at you."

Posted: **Wed Sep 05, 2012 10:57 pm**

"Ohhhh you'd be surprised, dear," she said. "Universal fact, for everyone who thinks you're attractive, there are going to be as many people who think there's something horribly wrong with you. And vice versa."

Posted: **Thu Sep 06, 2012 12:15 am**

"There's plenty normal people who are just pretty though."

Posted: **Thu Sep 06, 2012 12:27 am**

"True for them, too," Victoria said. "Just never try for universal approval, we'll be waiting forever."

Posted: **Thu Sep 06, 2012 12:30 am**

"A Coke would be great." Christie said to Dana.

Posted: **Thu Sep 06, 2012 9:14 am**

Elena slipped into the party, crowd-watching for a moment. She was dressed in an ankle length skirt of a Bohemian style and a simple blouse that was only a couple of steps up from a t-shirt. Slipping through the crowd, she made her way to the drink table and grabbed a soda, pausing to look around again.

Posted: **Thu Sep 06, 2012 10:54 am**

John wandered in. He had traded his usual "Geek Chic" for khaki dress slacks and a light blue v-neck over a white shirt. As he stepped up to the drink table, he flashed Elena a shy smile.

"Haven't seen you around. New for the semester?"

Posted: **Thu Sep 06, 2012 10:57 am**

Elena turned to regard him, "No, I have been busy though. Not very social." Her accent became slightly more obvious.

Posted: **Thu Sep 06, 2012 11:07 am**

"Oh, yeah, me too. The not very social part anyway, though with classes going again..." he answered, trailing off.

"I'm John, by the way," he said, smiling as he extending a clawed hand, "Genbu if you're into the going by codenames thing."

Posted: **Thu Sep 06, 2012 11:11 am**

Elena took his hand lightly. "Elena or Backblast, your choice. I think I have seen you on campus. Though I believe you had your nose buried in a book," she said with a smile.

Posted: **Thu Sep 06, 2012 11:20 am**

"That sure sounds like me," he chuckled.

Posted: **Thu Sep 06, 2012 11:28 am**

"Not that there is anything wrong with that. Books exist to be read, so someone should read them."

Posted: **Thu Sep 06, 2012 12:01 pm**

"Exactly! But try telling some people that," he replied, fake-coughing "Kevin Gravis."

Posted: **Thu Sep 06, 2012 12:41 pm**

"There are always some," she said with a shrug.

Posted: **Thu Sep 06, 2012 12:55 pm**

"Been to the Plume Library in town yet?"

Posted: **Thu Sep 06, 2012 12:58 pm**

"Once or twice. I am afraid I do not read as much as I once did. There are too many other things that demand my time."
