[post of borrowing mingleness]

[did you borrow a book from the library? some silverware from the mess hall? an x-ray machine from the hospital? a mani-pedi kit from the girls' cabin next door (don't worry dude, we don't judge)? whatever it was that happened to have slipped your mind, you're just finding it right now... and realizing that you were supposed to have it back to them

Whoa, neat glasses!

[mind_over_metal]

*whoopwhoop mutant!ping what -- turning to look over to the girl with a smile*

Thank you. I'm afraid they're not mine, though. I'll pass along the compliment, if you'd like.

[cruisingfora]

Are you just borrowing them to look cool, then?

[mind_over_metal]

Heavens no, I just needed them to be outside one morning, it was, uh... very bright out.

You're new here, aren't you?

[cruisingfora]

Oh, okay. I guess that's fine too since that's what sunglasses are kind of for in the first place.

Uh-huh! I just got here yesterday.

[mind_over_metal]

Very new! What's your name, dear?

[cruisingfora]

I am Princess Powerful!

[TRIUMPHANT POSE]

But calling me Molly is okay too since I guess I'm not really much of a superhero here, unless some bad guy group tries to threaten the camp because then I'd totally go in and kick their evil butts.

[mind_over_metal]

But I'm very glad that I know a princess now, Molly.

*holds out his hand to her*

I'm Professor Charles Xavier.

[cruisingfora]

[such a bro]

Whoa-no way! You're Professor X?!

[mind_over_metal]

*laughs*

Oh, dear, this is getting to be quite the routine.

[cruisingfora]

Well, duh! You're like, the most famous mutant ever! I mean, Jay told me about how you're from the past and stuff so I guess that hasn't happened to you yet, but still!

[mind_over_metal]

I'll do my best to earn it.

So, Molly, you said that you're Princess Powerful. Powerful as in how?

[cruisingfora]

I'm sure it'd be a piece of cake for you!

And it's exactly what it sounds like! I'm like, the strongest person ever.

[mind_over_metal]

Did you learn how to manage your strength all by yourself?

[cruisingfora]

Pretty much! 'Cause I'm the only mutant out of my friends, so they don't really get that stuff. It wasn't really hard, though-all I do is just think about it, and it just kinda... happens!

[mind_over_metal]

Your friends are humans who know about what you can do?
