Iss1DTWk4: XUB 3 - He-Mutant Human Haters Club

by **Alex Campion** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 6:38 pm

Alex sat at a table popping still-shelled peanuts into his mouth.

I can't believe Magneto is actually here... He smiled.

by **Kyra Raphael** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 6:41 pm

Kyra went into the XUB and took a seat near Alex. By now, she was convinced that the school was fairly safe, but it didn't hurt to check again. Plus, Grandmother seemed happy that she was meeting new people, so she could socialize without guilt.

by **Morgan Evans** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 6:44 pm

Morgan was at her usual seat in the XUB waiting for Connor to finish up work. Nursing her drink she was crowd watching, the various conversations for and against the visitors to campus never ceased to amuse her.

Stupid Plebs, there is no way I would be bragging about being flatscan stock. That's just.. wrong. Unnatural.

by **Alex Campion** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 6:44 pm

"Well hello there."

He looked Kyra over.

"Say... aren't you part of Magneto's entourage?"

by **Kyra Raphael** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:11 pm

"I am." Kyra said, giving Alex a smile. His mind had been more than a little difficult to comprehend, but it was clear he admired Magneto.

by **Alex Campion** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:17 pm

"It's an honor to meet you."

by **Kyra Raphael** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:20 pm

"Thanks." Kyra said modestly "But I'm just along to carry the luggage, and make sure that my Grandmother is comfortable."

by **Morgan Evans** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:34 pm

"It must be great to be around such a man though." Morgan interceded. She extended her hand to Kyra.

"My name is Morgan."

by **Alex Campion** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:36 pm

"Grandchildren are the best kind of slave labor."

Morgan Evans wrote:"It must be great to be around such a man though." Morgan interceded. She extended her hand to Kyra.

"My name is Morgan."

"And I'm Alex."

by **Kyra Raphael** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:37 pm

"Kyra." she replied, shaking Morgan's hand "And yes, it is a great honor."

by **Alex Campion** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:39 pm

"I'd shake your hand..." he smirked, "But I'm toxic. Well... if I want to be."

by **Morgan Evans** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:40 pm

"Then you just aren't shaking her hand because you are rude?" Morgan offered helpfully.

by **Alex Campion** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:43 pm

"I was trying to make a joke."

He then extended his hand to Kyra.

"Clearly I failed."

by **Kyra Raphael** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:46 pm

"Or not." Kyra said, shaking his hand politely "On Genosha, it isn't customary to shake hands, so I wasn't offended."

A brunette in a risque outfit made her way into XUB 3 and had a seat at the bar. Whoever she was, her thoughts were rather guarded and thus she'd had at least some training in telepathic defense. She slid ID to the bartender, who looked at it briefly, nodded, and poured her a scotch and mineral water while she pocketed the card again. Evidently she'd been there before.

by **Alex Campion** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:48 pm

"It's never been a habit of mine either."

by **Morgan Evans** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:51 pm

"So you are enjoying your time here?"

by **Kyra Raphael** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:52 pm

"Its a very human custom. When you consider how many powers are intensified by touch, or the skin issues that go along with some physical mutations, casual handshaking makes no sense for mutants. Kyra noted the new person in the XUB, but didn't look at her in any detail. "I am, except for all of the flatscans." Kyra confided.

by **Alex Campion** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:53 pm

"Don't get me started on them."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:59 pm

The brunette took a sip of her scotch, then pivoted on the barstool to look over the patrons.

by **Morgan Evans** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 8:01 pm

"Not all of us had the privilege of growing up somewhere like Genoshea, there have been more then a few of us here who haven't had much say in where we grew up." Morgan smiled at the girl.

"If you are going to be spending some time here and there are those amongst us that can be swayed to your cause with only a few nudges, then it may pay to remember that."

by **Kyra Raphael** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 8:27 pm

"I'm sorry." Kyra replied "I've met depressingly few students who didn't like living among humans."

by **Alex Campion** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 8:32 pm

"Well they aren't all bad," he mused, "Some might make good pets ."

by **Morgan Evans** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 8:35 pm

"Perhaps those that didn't enjoy it are just less vocal than those that do. The masses are pro-human or so it seems, voicing ones on thoughts is only for those who do not mind backing it up."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 8:38 pm

"Makes you feel as if you're in Lilliput," the brunette commented. She had an accent that mostly spoke of London, with hints of Scouse in it.

by **Kyra Raphael** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 8:42 pm

Kyra gave Alex a dubious look "People keep telling me that....and I'm not sure the I believe it."

by **Alex Campion** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 8:43 pm

"Not even up to par with a cat eh?"

by **Morgan Evans** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 8:50 pm

"At least cats are aesthetically pleasing." Morgan's voice is dripping with venom.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 8:51 pm

The brunette smirked. "Because you look so much different from a human, eh?"

by **Morgan Evans** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 8:58 pm

"No. I don't. Though I do wish I had of been one of the mutants that was lucky enough too manifest a physical difference." Morgan's tone betrays a sense of self-loathing.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 9:01 pm

"The vast majority of mutants are simple enough. Two eyes, two ears, one nose, one mouth, two arms, two legs, ten fingers, ten toes."

"Are they all ugly?"

by **Kyra Raphael** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 9:04 pm

"I wish I didn't." Kyra said to the girl "But looks aren't all that separates us from them."

by **Alex Campion** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 9:05 pm

"I wouldn't say all of them, no."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 9:08 pm

"Did it ever occur to you that the ones that make the most noise about being superior beings are usually the ones that know the least on how to actually go about it?"

by **Kyra Raphael** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 9:14 pm

"And how do you think we should go about it? By submitting meekly while the flatscans kill us?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 9:15 pm

"As I said, Lilliput."

by **Kyra Raphael** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 9:24 pm

"This is a bit more important than what end the egg is opened on."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 9:25 pm

"A giant needn't give heed to one tiny person, but a hundred might give him pause."

by **Connor Marshall** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 9:41 pm

"That's why you just keep a hundred giants all together," Connor said as he walked into the XUB, heading over to take a seat behind Morgan.

by **Kyra Raphael** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 9:44 pm

"A we the giants or the liliputians in this metaphor?"
