An Entrance

[bamfingblue]

Who: Nightcrawler [bamfingblue] and anyone else.
Where: School entrance hall.
What: Mysterious cloaked man in the hallway!
When: February 17th

[He was late. Irritated at himself for getting the date of the new school term wrong, and nervous in his new position as a member of staff, he was sure he wasn't making a good impression. Not wanting to scare the new

[Sadly for Allen...the cloaked thing is more scary than the blue skin. He's walking past and he can't help but stop and stare a little]

Eh..?

[bamfingblue]

[Feeling the stares, he shrinks further into the cloak. May God give him strength to be open and accepted here.]

...Guten Morgan.

[savingdestroyer]

[...German? Okay that does not help the fear factor, but at least he's polite so in a clear British accent]

Ah...Guten Morgan.

[bamfingblue]

Are you new here this term?

[savingdestroyer]

[Oh hey English. That will make Allen's life much easier]

Yes. I just started this week, sir.

[bamfingblue]

Welcome to the Xavier Academy. [There's a quiet note of affection for this place that had given him back a purpose.] I know it will help you.

[savingdestroyer]

Thank you, sir...I am sure it will. [Hopefully...]

[bamfingblue]

[He hesitates going inside now, wanting to help alleviate this new student's anxiety and new-person-nerves.]

What is your name?

[savingdestroyer]

Ah-!

[He'll suddenly bow at him. And you thought you were socially awkward]

I'm Allen Walker! It's nice to meet you, sir!

[bamfingblue]

[A little surprised to see the bow, he hesitantly held out one three fingered hand for a shake in return.]

Kurt Wagner, it's nice to meet you as well.

[savingdestroyer]

[He'll stand up and notice the hand, it only gets a blink or two before he shakes it. Eh not like he can judge about weird hands]

Are you a teacher...?

[bamfingblue]

I am.

I will be taking self-defence lessons and I am the counsellor... if you need anything.

[savingdestroyer]

[Are you saying I look like I have issues....don't answer]

Ah, okay! Thank you, sir! I'll keep that in mind.

[bamfingblue]

[Gaining a little more confidence in this, he flashes a smile obviously fanged from inside the hood.]

May God go with you.

[Turns for the entrance.]

[savingdestroyer]

[He's surprised to hear a statement like that...he's come across so many that scoff at the mere idea of God. But yet, it's comforting for him. So after the surprise wears off, he'll smile a bit more genuinely]

And with you, sir.
