I12DT - Another Day, Another Arrival ((open))

by **Sidney Young** » Tue Sep 10, 2013 10:19 pm

The bus from the train station drops Sidney off near the front gates and she drags her duffel bag up to the front entrance, drops it in the dirt of the driveway and takes a look around.

A mousy looking but fairly tall girl spotted her and gave her a sheepish wave.

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 5:37 pm

"Hey!" she shouts across the driveway, waving back before hefting her bag over her shoulder. "I'm at the right place, am I? Boarding school? Mutants and all that?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 5:39 pm

"Er, yeah," she said as she approached. "This is Xavier's."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 5:51 pm

"Sweet! I'm not about to break in some old fart's place then."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 5:52 pm

"Yeah, that... would be a bad idea."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 5:56 pm

"Riiight." she grins. "I'm Sid by the way. You?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 5:58 pm

"Brigid, and don't worry. A lot of folks have only been here a couple months."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 7:28 pm

"Oh, yeah, sure, whatever. So, how rules-crazy are they here?" she asks, looking the exterior of the mansion over.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 7:29 pm

"Usually they're pretty understanding, but with all the powers around here sometimes things can get a bit crazy."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 7:42 pm

"Yeah, I bet they do. Anything especially awesome?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 7:45 pm

"Some people can fly. Some people can lift a car with their brains. The uh... history professor doesn't like it if you do that with his car."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 7:51 pm

"Hah! Someone wrecked a teacher's car? That is wicked."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 7:58 pm

"My roommate. I don't think it was really intentional."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 8:01 pm

"Still pretty sweet. What's your thing then?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 8:20 pm

"I can figure out how to use things just by picking them up."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 8:23 pm

"Cool, cool." she nods, seeming kind of bored until she realizes something. "Wait a sec, does that mean you could instantly know how to hotwire a car?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 8:24 pm

"Er, more like physical things. I mean, I think."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 8:40 pm

"You think? Why haven't you tried that yet!"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 8:45 pm

"...why would I try to hotwire a car?"

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 8:47 pm

"Oh man, you're kinda boring, huh?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 9:04 pm

"...I don't think you have to steal a car to be interesting."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 9:23 pm

"But it helps!" she smirks. "Alright then, what else you got, Ginger Snaps?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 9:27 pm

Brigid frowned, and wracked her brain to try to come up with something that wasn't boring.

...and picking locks probably isn't good to mention.

"Er... I'm good with a sword."

...smooth.

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 9:30 pm

"Haha, wow holy shit, for reals?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 9:31 pm

"...yeah. That's... more or less the sort of thing my power's good for."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 9:35 pm

"The fuck are you moping around for then?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 9:36 pm

"I don't want people to think I'm... y'know, violent."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 9:46 pm

Sidney bursts out laughing.

"Oh man. Bwahaha. Seriously? Screw that. You should walk around with a frikkin sword on your belt and be all 'Sup? Oh that? That's just my sword.' and keep walking like it's nothing. Everyone would be all 'Oh yeah, that's Brigid. She has a sword.' and then they'd all think you're some kind of ninja zen master. Or that you're a nutso preparing for the zombie. Either way that'd be pretty wicked."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 9:54 pm

She sighed.

"My parents think it's basically the best thing ever too."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 9:57 pm

"Pff! You just gotta show 'em that it's not. That's what I did."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 9:59 pm

"...what's your power?"

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 10:03 pm

"I don't get hurt. Or that's how my mom treated it. What actually happens is I don't stay hurt. So, you know, coming down for breakfast with a knife in your shoulder. Hurts like bloody hell but it was totally hilarious."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 10:05 pm

She made a face.

"That's... pretty gross."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 10:08 pm

"I know right? But worth it. My mom totally puked."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 10:13 pm

"That... probably won't work with my mom and dad."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 10:20 pm

"Oh well." she says, dropping her duffel bag and rummaging through her various pockets until she finds a pack of cigarettes. "But ey, boarding school!"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 10:35 pm

"God, I was so glad to get away."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 10:41 pm

"Yeah, I feel ya. So... any cool places in town I should know about?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 10:44 pm

"Well uh... my definition of 'cool' probably isn't going to stack up. There's some decent places to eat."
