Try Not to Die!! [Tuesday, May 10, 3rd period]

May 10, 2011 08:10

Today, Anakin was a little bit grateful for the cloak he habitually wore as he waited for his class to arrive outside on the border between Fandom and the Viking village. It was a little chilly for a guy who grew up in the desert ( Read more... )

He'll reiterate what the RNG has decided below congratulate you on completing your first class and not dying!

If you won today, you get to wear a genuine Viking hat for the rest of the day, should you choose. It's quite fetching.

Angelica was the last to return and looked positively miserable about it. She didn't want to look incompetent on her very first day of classes. But at least she hadn't died?

Re: Check in with Anakin! sith_happened May 10 2011, 18:56:28 UTC

"You're the last member of the class to arrive," he told her in his best Phil impression.

Re: Check in with Anakin! whitequeensfire May 10 2011, 18:59:45 UTC

"I'm sorry," Angelica said, staring at her feet. "I made a mistake with the bracelet and I had to start over. I'll do better next time, I promise."

Re: Check in with Anakin! sith_happened May 11 2011, 01:02:34 UTC

"I'm sure you will, Angelica," he said.

"That was the first time I have ever been in a boat," Cassidy said cheerfully when she made it back to where Anakin was waiting. "And I didn't even crash it!"

Yes, Anakin, this was a major accomplishment for her.

Re: Check in with Anakin! sith_happened May 10 2011, 18:57:33 UTC

His eyebrows arched up. "I didn't realize I should have been concerned about that. You are the sixth student to arrive."

Re: Check in with Anakin! nothornlessrose May 10 2011, 19:00:38 UTC

Again with the cheerful little witch. "I've never handled one before so it was a possibility that I might have ended up in the water." She grinned. "Sixth is much better than dead."

And wouldn't that have been an embarrassing story to explain to the High Lord so he could tell her parents? Death by icy lake that she wasn't even supposed to be at?

When Warren made it back to see that almost everyone else had made it there before him, he winced, just a little. See, that was where his cockiness had gotten him.

"Ouch."

He was going to spend the rest of the week practising up on his arts and crafts skills.

Re: Check in with Anakin! whitequeensfire May 10 2011, 13:38:37 UTC

Angelica was really really really trying (and failing) not to stare at Warren when she finally made it to the finish line. She knew from Jocelyn's description that he had to be her big brother Warren -- either that, or there were multiple boys with wings at the school -- and that he was a mutant like her. But he wasn't hiding it.

Re: Check in with Anakin! not_a_parakeet May 10 2011, 13:42:37 UTC

It took Warren a little bit before he realized that he was being stared at, and did his best to keep his feathers from prickling as he tried to ignore it for a few moments.

It wasn't working, so eventually he just sighed and glanced back at Angelica. He was used to feeling safe around here, but it wasn't like people had ever really stopped gaping whenever a new semester rolled around.

"Sorry, are these bothering you at all?"

The thing was, he actually sounded apologetic. They'd scared the crap out of him at first, too.

Re: Check in with Anakin! whitequeensfire May 10 2011, 13:48:09 UTC

"No!" Angelica said quickly when she realized she'd been caught staring. "They're not! I-I just, um....I've just never seen someone with wings like that. In person I mean."

Her face turned almost as red as her hair in embarrassment.

Re: Check in with Anakin! not_a_parakeet May 10 2011, 13:52:31 UTC

"What, you've seen them out-of-person?" Warren offered her a tiny smile, relieved, at least, that she wasn't technically freaking out or anything. Being intrigued, that wasn't so bad. "I'm not an angel or anything, if that's what you're thinking."

He'd had a few people ask that one since he'd first come here.

Re: Check in with Anakin! whitequeensfire May 10 2011, 14:03:44 UTC

"On TV," Angelica clarified. "He was one of the X-Men." Or used to be, since he hadn't been there when Empath had made her help attack them. "They're mutants...like you?"

He'd told Jocelyn he was, so she hoped she wasn't going to make him mad by saying that.

Re: Check in with Anakin! not_a_parakeet May 10 2011, 14:08:45 UTC

Warren took a deep breath, and then nodded a little bit.

Hey, look. Another Warren out there somewhere. He was starting to lose count, now.

"Yeah, I'm a mutant," he confirmed. "I'm not one of Xavier's, though. I'm not all that big on the idea of wearing spandex."

Also true!

Re: Check in with Anakin! whitequeensfire May 10 2011, 14:15:31 UTC

Angelica could totally rock spandex! But Hellion Pink with her red hair was just a fashion faux pas.

"And you don't have to hide that here?" Angelica said. She'd already definitely gotten that impression, but it was another thing to have it so blatantly demonstrated in front of her. And if he knew who Charles Xavier was, then he definitely knew how mutants were generally treated.
