Common Room: It Kills Imagination Dead

by **Regan Rourke** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 11:09 pm

Regan hovered above the couch, trying to watch some TV. At the moment, she was regretting not having Kay around to change the channels.

Or talk with her.

Or be her friend.

Christie came into the common room and flopped tiredly onto the couch. "Oh, hey." she said to Regan.

by **Regan Rourke** » Thu Mar 07, 2013 11:23 pm

"Hey," Regan says, looking away from a riveting infomercial, "...Who are you?"

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 1:09 am

"Christie." she replied "Who are you?"

by **Regan Rourke** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 1:15 am

"Regan," Regan says, "Hey, would you mind changing the channel? Or...just turning it off or something? I don't care."

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 1:25 am

"Not a problem." Christie said, picking up the remote "Anything you wanna watch?" as she started to flip channels she added "Do you have a phasing problem?"

by **Regan Rourke** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 1:27 am

"I really don't care."

"Sort of," Regan says, "I'm dead. And apparently, ghosts operate on a strict 'look but don't touch' rule."

"Oh, duh." Christie said "Regan. Sorry, I've been sick and kind of out of the loop the past week."

by **Regan Rourke** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 1:34 am

Regan shrugs, "It's not a big deal."

"What about you? What's your thing?"

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 2:04 am

"Super-strength." Christie said "No healing factor, though."

by **Regan Rourke** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 2:06 am

"Is having both common?" Regan asks, looking a bit confused.

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 2:11 am

"Sometimes." Christie said "A lot of people seem to think they do, anyway."

by **Regan Rourke** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 2:14 am

"That's weird," Regan says, "But I guess people are always making assumptions like that."

"You wouldn't believe how many people think that I can possess people, or turn invisible, or some other nonsense."

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 10:45 am

"Have you tried?" Christie asked, curiously.

by **Regan Rourke** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 10:49 am

"A few times," Regan says, "I'm not entirely sure where my 'invisibility' muscle is."

"Or maybe it's a gland. I dunno. I can't imagine they've done many ghost autopsies."

"Have you been to see my dad?" Christie asked "Stan Bowen, I mean. He's kind of an expert on mutations, and he's got all kinds of stuff to help people figure stuff out."

by **Regan Rourke** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 11:14 am

"Not yet," Regan says, "Your dad's a teacher? Man, I'm sorry. I know how much that can suck. My mom taught at my high school."

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 3:41 pm

"I like it." Christie said "Its better than it was last year, when Tommy and I were at XI in Westchester and Dad was here."

by **Regan Rourke** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 4:04 pm

"You were at Westchester before it closed?" Regan asks.

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 10:01 pm

"Yeah." Christie said "Ever since I manifested."

by **Regan Rourke** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 10:08 pm

"Manifested?"

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 10:24 pm

"When my mutation kicked in."

by **Regan Rourke** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 10:28 pm

"Oh. Cool," Regan says, "When was that?"

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 10:58 pm

"Three, almost four years ago." Christie said "Period and superstrength all in the same year." she grinned "Guess which is more awesome."

by **Regan Rourke** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 11:03 pm

"That's awesome," Regan says, "All I got for my first period was my dad awkwardly reading the directions off a box of tampons because my mom was at a conference."

"It was the worst thing ever."

by **Christine Bowen** » Sat Mar 09, 2013 7:35 pm

"Yeah, that must have sucked." Christie said, as always feeling a bit awkward when the subject of mothers came up.

by **Regan Rourke** » Sat Mar 09, 2013 7:40 pm

"Does your mom work here too?" Regan asks. Of course.

by **Christine Bowen** » Sat Mar 09, 2013 11:42 pm

"No." Christie said "She....died a few years ago."

by **Regan Rourke** » Sat Mar 09, 2013 11:43 pm

"Oh," Regan says, "Christ. I'm sorry I brought it up then."

by **Christine Bowen** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 12:04 am

"No way for you to know about it." Christie said "anyway...."

by **Regan Rourke** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 12:07 am

"Yeah, umm, anyway..." Regan says, feeling awkward and a little bit guilty still.

"So, how strong are you? Can you pick up a car?"

by **Christine Bowen** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 12:31 am

"Depends on the car." Christie said "And where I am."

by **Regan Rourke** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 12:39 am

"1971 Ford Pinto," Regan says, "At the Grand Canyon."

by **Christine Bowen** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 1:16 am

Christie thought for a moment "Yeah, I could do that."

by **Regan Rourke** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:08 am

"Follow up, do you know where we could get a Pinto and enough gas money to get to Arizona?"

by **Christine Bowen** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 6:39 pm

"I'm pretty sure there is an ocean in the way." Christie said "I could do a car that size here, though."

by **Regan Rourke** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 6:46 pm

"Well, once I get a car, promise me you'll let me watch you throw it off the cliffs," Regan says, "That'd be awesome."

by **Christine Bowen** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 7:07 pm

"I could lift something else heavy." Christie said "I'm not limited to cars."

by **Regan Rourke** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 7:25 pm

"Well, I don't want to make a freakshow outta you or anything," Regan says.

by **Amanda Weinrich** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 8:16 pm

"What, now I can't enjoy showing off?"
