Mariuset sat down at an empty table, and began to cautiously taste the food on her tray.

Mars sits down across from her, eating an apple.

"Evening," Mars says, smiling at the new person.

Posted: **Wed Aug 14, 2013 1:02 am**

"I suppose it is." Mariuset replied "The day has passed quickly. I am Mariuset, it is good to meet you."

Posted: **Wed Aug 14, 2013 1:04 am**

"Good to meet you Mariuset," Mars says, "I'm Mars."

Posted: **Wed Aug 14, 2013 1:14 am**

"May I ask you a question?" Mariuset said, holding up a fry "Are these supposed to be warm?"

Posted: **Wed Aug 14, 2013 1:19 am**

"Well, they'd taste pretty gross if they were cold," Mars says, "You've never had fries before?"

Posted: **Wed Aug 14, 2013 1:30 am**

"No, I haven't." she said "I am....quiet a long distance from where I was brought up, and we didn't really eat our food hot. Or cooked, for that matter."

Posted: **Wed Aug 14, 2013 1:42 am**

"Wow," Mars says, "Where's that?"

Posted: **Wed Aug 14, 2013 1:50 am**

"Lemuria." she replied "And most recently Atlantis. But this is my home now, so I need to begin to adjust airbre-, um, human ways."

Zeryn walked into the cafeteria, once again lamenting the lack of sushi chefs here. But it was reasonable enough to eat, and...

His gaze fell on Mariuset out of the corner of his eye. Ah, good. She's socializing.

Posted: **Wed Aug 14, 2013 2:16 am**

"That is so cool," Mars says, "Are you enjoying the surface world so far?"

Posted: **Wed Aug 14, 2013 2:22 am**

"Yes, quite a lot." she said "I just arrived today, but already I'm enjoying being able to walk around freely." she would have said more, but just then she spotted Zeryn "Zeryn!" she called "come sit over here, and let me introduce you to Mars!"

Posted: **Wed Aug 14, 2013 2:39 am**

Zeryn stopped, caught, and turned toward the table. "Are you sure?" he said, diplomatically. "I would not want to impose," he said as he walked over to the table. His tray was oddly devoid of fish... mostly because nothing the school could do with fish would taste right to him. At least when they screwed up beef, he didn't realize it.

Posted: **Wed Aug 14, 2013 2:44 am**

"Of course you aren't imposing. please, sit down." she said "Mars, this is Zeryn. He helped me travel to Xaviers, and is helping me settle in here. Zeryn, this is Mars. We just met, but she seems a delightful person." Mariuset had read a book on etiquette!

Posted: **Wed Aug 14, 2013 1:29 pm**

"I am pretty delightful," Mars says, "It's really good to meet you both."

Posted: **Thu Aug 15, 2013 1:43 am**

"And it's a pleasure to meet you as well, Delightful Mars," Zeryn said as he took a seat. "I stopped by your room to make sure you'd found where to eat, but thankfully that wasn't necessary," he added to Mariucet.

Posted: **Thu Aug 15, 2013 1:59 am**

"I'm still trying to understand the food though." she replied "I didn't see any seaweed at all."

Posted: **Thu Aug 15, 2013 2:01 am**

"The best of my understanding is that it is much less culinarily pleasing in the open air than the options grown in the open air," Zeryn said. "Also, there is little understanding of the subtle variety of types available in the depths."

Posted: **Thu Aug 15, 2013 2:11 am**

"Plus, other vegetables are just easier to get to and harvest," Mars says.

Posted: **Thu Aug 15, 2013 10:38 am**

"That would be a valid consideration." Mariuset replied, gingerly picking up a piece of lettuce "I shall have to adjust to the surface, if I am to make my home here."

Posted: **Thu Aug 15, 2013 7:23 pm**

"Are you moving here permanently?" Mars asks.

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 12:05 am**

"Yes." Mariuset replied "There are a variety of reasons, but I must make my home above the waters."

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 12:10 am**

"Well, I really hope you enjoy it," Mars says, "If you ever need anything, I'm glad to help. I mean, I've lived on the surface my whole life so I should know a thing or two."

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 12:16 am**

"I shall contact you if I need a guide." Mariuset replied, glancing over at Zeryn "That way I will not have to impose on your time too often."

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 1:11 pm**

"Someone who's been raised on the surface would be better to show it to you," Zeryn was forced to admit.

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 4:53 pm**

"No pressure or anything," Mars says, "I'm just happy to help."

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 4:58 pm**

"Not that I would object to spending more time with you." she added quickly.

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 5:09 pm**

"Don't be too quick about that," Mars teases, "You haven't gotten to know me yet."

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 6:17 pm**

"And what better way to get to know someone than to explore together?" Mariuset replied "Perhaps this weekend we could go to the nearest town. Its called Maldon, correct?"

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 10:54 pm**

"Yeah, it is," Mars says, "I'd love to show you around. It'd be a lot of fun."

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 11:50 pm**

"I agree." Mariuset replied "Where would you suggest we go for our first expedition?"

Posted: **Sun Aug 18, 2013 2:07 am**

"Well, do you need any supplies or junk?"

Posted: **Sun Aug 18, 2013 11:28 pm**

"I'm not certain...." Mariuset replied "I brought some of the things I acquired in Atlantis, but I don't know what is needed, or customary on the surface."

Posted: **Sun Aug 18, 2013 11:30 pm**

"We'll take a look around the shops downtown then, get you all set up," Mars says.

Posted: **Sun Aug 18, 2013 11:45 pm**

"I'm not sure that I have the funds..." she said, glancing at Zeryn.

Posted: **Mon Aug 19, 2013 12:37 am**

"You do," he said. "I'll make sure that they're accessible."

Posted: **Mon Aug 19, 2013 12:43 am**

"Plus, I shop really cheap," Mars says, "I'm pretty poor myself."

Posted: **Mon Aug 19, 2013 1:43 am**

"I will put myself in your hands." Mariuset replied "I have no notion of what prices are like on the surface."

Posted: **Mon Aug 19, 2013 1:53 am**

"I won't let you down," Mars says cheerfully.

And hopefully no one tries to kill me this time.

"And hopefully no one tries to kill me this time," Mars says in a joking tone.

There wasn't much of a barrier between Mars' brain and mouth.

Posted: **Mon Aug 19, 2013 10:00 am**

"I was about to say the same thing." Mariuset replied.
