The bus from the train station drops Sidney off near the front gates and she drags her duffel bag up to the front entrance, drops it in the dirt of the driveway and takes a look around.

A mousy looking but fairly tall girl spotted her and gave her a sheepish wave.

"Hey!" she shouts across the driveway, waving back before hefting her bag over her shoulder. "I'm at the right place, am I? Boarding school? Mutants and all that?"

"Brigid, and don't worry. A lot of folks have only been here a couple months."

"Oh, yeah, sure, whatever. So, how rules-crazy are they here?" she asks, looking the exterior of the mansion over.

"Usually they're pretty understanding, but with all the powers around here sometimes things can get a bit crazy."

"Some people can fly. Some people can lift a car with their brains. The uh... history professor doesn't like it if you do that with his car."

"Cool, cool." she nods, seeming kind of bored until she realizes something. "Wait a sec, does that mean you could instantly know how to hotwire a car?"

Brigid frowned, and wracked her brain to try to come up with something that wasn't boring.
...and picking locks probably isn't good to mention.
"Er... I'm good with a sword."
...smooth.

Sidney bursts out laughing.
"Oh man. Bwahaha. Seriously? Screw that. You should walk around with a frikkin sword on your belt and be all 'Sup? Oh that? That's just my sword.' and keep walking like it's nothing. Everyone would be all 'Oh yeah, that's Brigid. She has a sword.' and then they'd all think you're some kind of ninja zen master. Or that you're a nutso preparing for the zombie. Either way that'd be pretty wicked."

"I don't get hurt. Or that's how my mom treated it. What actually happens is I don't stay hurt. So, you know, coming down for breakfast with a knife in your shoulder. Hurts like bloody hell but it was totally hilarious."

"Oh well." she says, dropping her duffel bag and rummaging through her various pockets until she finds a pack of cigarettes. "But ey, boarding school!"
