End of orientation: waiting for a delivery

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 7:44 pm

tommydelivery tommy was waiting outside, close to the main road leading to the dormitories.

It was oddly chilly for a June morning, and Tommy shivered with his scrawny frame.

the wizard hat was a bit warm, though.

Brigid, meanwhile, was on her way back from the Rec Center with a towel draped about her shoulders.

She looked... less mousy than when Tommy had last seen her.

tommy, well, he reacted as you might expect. He caught himself staring a little and looked away, turning a bit red. But, that helped with the chill as well.

"H-Hi, Brigid.." he said, making a smile.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 8:00 pm

Is he freaking out? He's freaking out. Crap.

"Oh hey there... Tommy, was it? I'm... ah... just getting back from a swim." There was a bit of a flush on her cheeks as well.

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 8:05 pm

"Oh? I haven't seen the pool yet.. Is it nice?" he asked, trying to calm down, and focus on her face.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 8:09 pm

"Yeah, it's pretty decent. Theresa and I were checking it out."

"...you okay?"

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 8:13 pm

"Hmm? Oh, yeah, I'm.. Fine. just waiting for a friend to bring my sister's and my extra stuff from upstate.."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 8:15 pm

"Oh, you're moving in now, then?"

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 8:20 pm

"Well, mostly just moving some stuff in right now, into a spare dorm room. My dad arranged it, to get some of the work done early."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 8:21 pm

"That's cool. You know, something I didn't get to ask yesterday... what's with the hat?"

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 8:23 pm

"Hmm? oh.. I'm a wizard. Well, an alchemist, actually." he said, in all seriousness.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 8:25 pm

"That... well, I guess that makes as much sense as anything, here."

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 8:31 pm

Without waiting to be asked, Tommy, looked on the ground, finding a discarded soda tab. Holding it in one hand he waved his other hand, causing the drink tab to shimmer slightly. When the light faded, the tab was gold colored.

"How about you? What can you do that brings you here?" he asked, checking the soda tab with his eye, looking for imperfection in his work.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 8:34 pm

"That's pretty cool, there."

"My power is that I know how to use things, when I pick them up."

Hey, it worked before.

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 8:47 pm

"that.. That's really cool!" tommy said, impressed.

Smiling, he dropped the now gold pop tab in her hand.

"So, you are now the master of popping soda cans."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 8:48 pm

"...kind of. I guess. There's not too much you can do with just a pop top."

...except I could probably lodge it up your nose from here. No, bad Brigid!

by **Christine Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 8:49 pm

"Hey, Tommy." Christy said, smiling as she approached, a tiny bit of wariness in her eyes as she looked at Brigid.

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 8:53 pm

"Hey sis! Just waiting for Monica to drop off our stuff for storage here. Brigid just got out of the pool."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 8:54 pm

"Hi there," Brigid said with a sheepish wave.

At least he's not staring anymore.

by **Christine Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 9:01 pm

"Awesome." Christy said "How are you doing, Brigid?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 9:02 pm

"Pretty good. We were just talking powers and stuff."

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 9:05 pm

"Yeah. She's a tactile object focused tele-empathic." he said, not missing a beat.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 9:10 pm

"...say that three times fast," she blinked.

by **Christine Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 9:27 pm

"You are?" Christy said "Thats pretty cool. Does it work better with high tech or low tech stuff?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 9:29 pm

"Lower-tech stuff. Pretty much just things I can pick up."

by **Christine Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 9:52 pm

"That must be useful." Christy said "Especially getting used to a new place."

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 10:06 pm

"Yeah, it must have been cool, picking up a pencil and knowing what to do with it as soon as you touched it."

tommy was trying to avoid letting his eyes drop towards Brigids exposed legs.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 10:14 pm

"Takes some of the stress out of things, I guess."

by **Christine Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 10:26 pm

"Yeah, I guess it would." Christie replied "You like the school so far?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 10:28 pm

"Yeah, it's... it's been pretty welcoming so far," she said with a bit of a nervous fidget as her gaze traveled to Tommy and where his eyes had strayed.

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 10:46 pm

"So, have you been down to new York yet?" Tommy asked, clearing his throat a little.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 10:48 pm

"Nope. I've never been to any big city. It's going to be pretty neat,going for the first time."

by **Christine Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 10:51 pm

"Maybe we could go this weekend." Christy said. "If you'll be around."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 10:53 pm

"...my dad probably wouldn't be too cool with that," she admitted.

"He's been difficult enough about me going there in the fall."

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 10:58 pm

"Kinda reminds me our our dad, sometimes," Bobby replied, nodding.

by **Christine Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 11:25 pm

"Yeah, he never wants us to have any fun. Its all 'jetting off to London, see you later.' bullshit."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 11:27 pm

She winced.

"I've kind of got the opposite problem."

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 11:32 pm

"Oh? First time away from home?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 11:33 pm

She nodded.

"And my older brother didn't need to go to school away from home, so it was an uphill battle to get to go here."

by **Thomas Bowen** » Sun Jan 15, 2012 11:52 pm

"Well, glad it worked out," Tommy replied, smiling.
