I12DT - Lunch Time

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as additional housing and classroom space for the Institute. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for both the Institute and those University students on a meal plan. Student reactions have been mixed, and reports of paranormal activity are as of yet unsubstantiated.

I12DT - Lunch Time

Postby Kay Haddock » Wed Jul 17, 2013 12:57 pm

Kay spends a lot of time in line today, deliberately taking forever to get her food because she's waiting for Theresa to show up. When she does she hurries over to her table, only slowing down on the final approach. She doesn't actually put her plate down but just kinda awkwardly stands next to the table for a moment.

"Hey, uhm... Just wanted you to know I read your blog post and... well that I thought it was pretty awesome of you to post that."

Theresa was obviously a little surprised that Kay came over, but when she stated why, she smiled and shrugged, "Just felt like I had to have my say, even if only a few people read it, you know? That guy's visit just scares the crap out of me."

"Yeah. It's... I dunno. Scary." She goes quiet for a while and shifts from one foot to the other. "Hey, uhm, you maybe wanna go see that Stark biopic? Christie and Regan are coming too!" she adds quickly, realizing how that sounded.

As if those two names made it any better.

"I appreciate it, but I'll have to pass. I'm sure Christie and Regan wouldn't be happy to see me."

"Look I just... I hate not being friends with you and Brigid just hangs out with Alex all the time now... Regan doesn't like anybody equally and Christie's nice..."

Theresa raised an eyebrow. "The last time Regan and I spoke at length, she accused me of being a predator for starting a relationship with you. And the last time I spoke to Christie, she implied things about Brigid and myself and I implied things about her personal hygiene."

"B-but... why would they... Okay why would Christie do that?" she frowns. "Regan just... she's Regan."

"Okay, fine. Can we at least hang out again some time or would that also be too awkward now?"

"If I knew a way for it to not be awkward... But it would be awkward and neither of us would have much fun and it would probably just do further damage. And I've already done enough damage for one lifetime."
