Elton John Was Right

"Good," she said dryly.

"I've spent time with women of the cloth. They can be tiresome. And boring!"

by **Teri Napliotis** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 5:31 pm

"I don't think they would let me become a nun even if I wanted to. So many seem so mistaken about God's plan for us..."

by **Itzcoatl Abelinda** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 5:41 pm

"Too many you mean are mistaken about God's plan for us!" she growled as she reflected back on her parenting and her time away.

by **Teri Napliotis** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 5:51 pm

"Oh. Yes, we meant mutants, not just us."

by **Itzcoatl Abelinda** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 5:58 pm

"Well I meant mostly me here but you're right. For all mutant kind."

by **Teri Napliotis** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 6:01 pm

She nods. "What is your gift then?"

by **Itzcoatl Abelinda** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 6:20 pm

"The gift of beauty and ash."

Ash slowly seeps out of Belle's skin covering her entire frame in gray course shell. Belle's silhouette stands in front Teri with tiny little puffs of ash disperse around her only her white teeth and green eyes can be seen out of her current form.

"Oh and I'm killer in the sack."

by **Teri Napliotis** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 6:32 pm

"It's uncouth to brag about that." she mumbles.

by **Itzcoatl Abelinda** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 6:40 pm

"I'm sorry. What was that?"

Belle slowly returns to her normal state.

by **Teri Napliotis** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 6:46 pm

"About... you know... Sex."

by **Itzcoatl Abelinda** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 7:01 pm

"Sex? Oh it's nothing to murmur about! It's all natural."

"I personally stopped having it but I'm not shy to talk about it."

by **Teri Napliotis** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 7:22 pm

"Well we can see why nuns might not be too fond of you..."

by **Itzcoatl Abelinda** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 7:31 pm

"Oh those old coots needed to vacuum themselves out and have some fun!" Belle said disrespectfully.

"That life style wasn't for me. Although they did teach me a little about life."

by **Teri Napliotis** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 7:32 pm

"Oh, they did? That's nice to hear." she smiles.

by **Itzcoatl Abelinda** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 8:04 pm

"You have such a pretty smile Teri. Tell me about your past, your present, and your future. What brought you here? What led to this? Laying on the grass, being stepped on, talking with beautiful strangers?"

by **Teri Napliotis** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 8:06 pm

"That's a lot you're asking about, lots of which we don't like talking about. We're here because no one else wanted us."

by **Itzcoatl Abelinda** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 8:19 pm

"No one else wanted you? That's a lie. Even God created locust. We all have our place or we make our place."

by **Teri Napliotis** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 8:25 pm

"They thought we were a plague. We've yet to prove them wrong. But we will once we understand God's plan for us."

by **Itzcoatl Abelinda** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 8:28 pm

"You are not a plague! You are a weapon of rebirth! In order to create you must destroy!" Belle's accent came out heavily and she herself noticed.

She cleared her throat, "Sorry. I got a little carried away."

by **Teri Napliotis** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 8:34 pm

"Locust don't leave behind fertile earth like volcanoes do."

by **Itzcoatl Abelinda** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 8:39 pm

"Something needs to eat away the land before the water can wash away death and wind blows new seeds. You shouldn't be so negative about yourself. All of yourselves."

by **Teri Napliotis** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 8:49 pm

"We're not, but you're not making much sense either. It's not that simple..."

by **Itzcoatl Abelinda** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 8:54 pm

"Why not? What complicates it?"

by **Teri Napliotis** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 9:04 pm

"You wouldn't understand."

by **Itzcoatl Abelinda** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 10:42 pm

"Try me."

by **Teri Napliotis** » Fri Oct 26, 2012 7:16 am

"Well read the Bible. How many positive mentions of swarms of locust can you find? And our village was right to try and get rid of us. They would have starved eventually if they hadn't."

by **Itzcoatl Abelinda** » Fri Oct 26, 2012 11:16 am

"Umm...you're Kosher Teri!"

by **Teri Napliotis** » Fri Oct 26, 2012 11:20 am

"Okay...?" she says, confused.

by **Itzcoatl Abelinda** » Fri Oct 26, 2012 11:49 am

"The Old Testament allows you to eat Locust. Therefore you're better off than swine." Belle eventually had braided the end of hair. "Well enough about you...let's talk about me. Any news I should know around campus?"

by **Teri Napliotis** » Fri Oct 26, 2012 12:02 pm

"Well the high-school students are new here, from what we've heard."

by **Itzcoatl Abelinda** » Fri Oct 26, 2012 12:29 pm

"High school students? As in Teens and Tweens? Oh no!" True dread was in Belle's voice.

"I guess I shouldn't have skipped on the orientation...again."

by **Teri Napliotis** » Fri Oct 26, 2012 1:05 pm

"What's wrong with that?"

by **Itzcoatl Abelinda** » Fri Oct 26, 2012 1:17 pm

"Nothing is wrong with them," she replied honestly.

"Beside the teenage angst that goes hand in hand with them."

by **Teri Napliotis** » Fri Oct 26, 2012 1:23 pm

"Yes, you're much better company." she smiles, not a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

by **Violet Turner** » Sun Oct 28, 2012 2:16 am

Violet wandered through the gardens, thoughtlessly plucking roses from the depths of the bushes and tucking them into her hair. One after another she added to the bouquet until the top of her head was a lumpy, sweet smelling mass of petals. The low murmur of conversation draws her attention and so she creeps forward, moving close to the bushes.

The better to eavesdrop my dearie the thought makes her laugh but she claps one hand over her mouth to stifle the sound.

by **Teri Napliotis** » Sun Oct 28, 2012 5:46 am

It seems that they were done exchanging pleasantries though, as Teri turns around and walks off, roughly towards where Violet is hiding. If Violet was able to pick up on it she'd notice that regardless of how calm Teri seemed her mind was utter chaos.

by **Violet Turner** » Sun Oct 28, 2012 12:56 pm

Seeing the girl moving towards her, Violet panics, still half-hidden in the bushes as she is.
"Hi!" She chirps too loudly "hey, how are you. Pretty day outside no? And the ros--" her voices dies mid-sentence, one hand reaching to lightly brush the mound of flowers in her hair. With a dawning horror, she realized how ridiculous she must look and falls silent. Waving meekly in place of speaking.

by **Teri Napliotis** » Sun Oct 28, 2012 1:12 pm

"Hi!" Teri waves back. "Anything interesting down there?" she asks, looking down at the bushes. Apparently she's serious.

by **Violet Turner** » Sun Oct 28, 2012 2:19 pm

Eyes narrowing as she tries to determine if she's being mocked, Violet turns away. Scanning the bushes for something unusual she murmurs over her shoulder "Just looking for...aphids. You know, making sure the roses are healthy. And what brings you out here"?

by **Teri Napliotis** » Sun Oct 28, 2012 2:43 pm

"Oh we already checked them for lice! They're not back, are they?" she says, dropping down on her knees to stare into the bushes.

"Didn't we tell you to take them somewhere else? Yes we did. Oh hey, there's no lice. What did she call them? Aphids. Right. Yes, you can keep them on the trees." she seems to mumble to herself.
