X-MEN CAFETERIA

For the most part, the mansion's cafeteria resembles the average self-serve school dining hall. It is spacious and well-lit with a somewhat cool, industrial look to it, as all of the ductwork and beams overhead were left exposed, but were painted the same unobtrusive, light grey color as the walls to make everything appear cohesive. The floors are covered with what appears to be individual tiles, although it's actually a heavy-duty concrete product manufactured to take a real beating and still look nice. The most important aspect of the Cafeteria, the food, is laid-out along a counter than runs along the eastern wall of the room. Along that same wall in the door to the X-Men Kitchen 1st, where the major stores of food are kept and prepared for the students. At one corner is the entrance to the Cafeteria, coming from X-Men West 1st. The west and north-facing walls of the eating commons are adorned with tall windows, and there is also a set of French doors along the latter of the two that lead out to the X-Men Pools.

X-Men Time

Monday, May 25th

With a metallic click and short hiss, the cap of Devlin's third beer was twisted off. He took a long draw of the cool amber beverage and smacked his lips together. Despite its reputation back in England, he had to admit that he was enjoying this brand of beer. He'd given up on moping around, a colonial among patriots, and instead had decided that a party was a party.

'And one time, Cynthia actually got goopy marshmallow stuck in my hair during one camping trip, and my parents thought that maybe they could,like, freeze it out of my hair, you know, like you do with bubblegum, but ALL the ICE had melted, and I ended-up having to get this, like, totally horrific haircut with the pair of fingernail scissors my mom happened to have in her purse,' Valerie offered without pause as she slipped into the kitchen from X-Men West 1st, her attention back over her shoulder at those who might still be coming along with her. 'We were having a flaming marshmallow stick-sword fight, so I guess that's not the worse that could have happened, but it was still pretty embarrassing!'

"Sugar burns do scar like hell," Faro conceded, following Valerie in to the cafeteria from the west hall. She spotted a guy with ridiculously long legs knocking back beers and felt her stomach twitch. No thanks, she decided, coming to the realisation that her body definitely had had enough of alcohol for one day.

Devlin spotted two girls walk in, and not really knowing who they were (kinda recognising Faro), raised his bottle above his head in welcome. "The more the merrier!" he called, followed by a quiet belch - he had been drinking the beers down pretty quickly and the bubbles were still settling in his gut. "Pull up a pew and give this poor Brit an ounce of pity, for he is in a foreign land."

By the time the group had made it into the kitchen, Nadine had managed to muster up enough courage to speak up again as well. "I've never been camping for real before, but Ulric and I used to pretend camp in our foster parents backyard when I was really little. He'd set up a tent and a campfire for us and we'd imagine that we had run away and were hiding out in the woods so no one could find us-" Her story cut off upon seeing Devlin, with whom she wasn't very familiar with, and she inched behind the older girls ever so slightly.

Mark stayed silent as he listened to the story. He had not been camping himself and was not sure what to say to add to the conversation. That's when they arrived at Devlin. He scanned his files for information but not much came up on the boy.

'Yeeeeah,' Valerie cooed to Faro, louder at first, and softer at the finish of the sound, her mouth screwed-up to one side as she fell silent. 'We were lucky we didn't, like, really get hurt.' Pausing she added in a more chipper manner to Devlin, 'awww, then you should come outside with us! I bet the humidity is down and maybe even the fireflies are out!' Casting a genuine smile to Nadine, she offered, 'Well, maybe we could go camping under the stars, sometime. Plenty of places to go here in the surrounding forest, I bet!'

Faro nodded at Val's invitation to Devlin, showing her added consent. "As you said, 'the more the merrier'. We're heading down to the lake to see who's still hanging out there." She was considering the guy - she'd definitely met him before, but not really spent time around him. Those legs were hard to forget, taking up much of his height. There was something about the proportions that didn't work in her mind, and left her feeling like he was less human than her.

"Very kind of you," Devlin said, grinning at the assembled group and standing. He tucked what was left of his case of beers under one arm, swigging from his open bottle with the other. "The lake, huh? Sounds like a plan, Stan. Anyone fancy a beerski while we're here, by the way?" he inquired, shaking his own half-full bottle at the others.

"Whew! Finally caught back up with you guys!" Liz faintly said as she phased back into the physical world behind Mark. "Sorry about the disappearance and not showing up for awhile, I still havent fully adjusted to using that reactors excess energy. But im back now! Hopefully for awhile, its soooo boring being all alone." She leaned down behind Mark, draping her arms down around his neck, and placing her chin over his shoulder knowing full well that it would make him feel awkward. She was obviously very bored and needed someone to harmlessly mess with. "Did ya miss me? I heard you guys mention going to the lake, that would be so fun!....Ohhhh beer, gimme!" She demanded with an odd sense of innocence, holding her hand out towards Devlin.

"I was wondering if you would be back." Mark sighed he had honestly gotten used to the ghost girl, apart from early on when she seemed to pop up when ever she felt was embarrassing for him, like the shower. Her arms draped around him and it took him a full five seconds to register his own discomfort. "Close, too close." He muttered with a shake of his shoulders, though his pale skin might have shown a bit of a blush to any on lookers who paid enough attention. He wheeled forward a bit to try and dislodge her. "Can an ethereal spirit even consume liquids?"

Flashing Faro a brief grin, then glancing back to Devlin, Valerie sweetly declared, 'Oh, gosh; no thank you, though!' her hands held up slightly, palms-out, in front of her, and similarly took note of the foreign fellow's different-than-average proportions. It was only for an exceedingly short moment, however, for Val cast her attention toward Mark and Liz, mentally shook her head, and decided to head out to the X-Men Pools before she could find out whether ghosts could hold a beer bottle or not, and tried to nudge Nadine along the way, hoping to rouse a response from the seemingly quiet teenager.

Despite having just seen the ghostly girl a little while earlier, Nadine still jumped and let out a muted squeak when Liz popped back into existence behind Mark, thankful at least that it wasn't her the pseudo spirit was following around. The event caused her to forget to respond to Valerie's offer about going camping, which had sounded like fun, especially since the older girl was so nice to her. Her mouth opened to respond, only to close again as Liz went on an excited ramble before declaring her for the beer as she watched and wondered whether the ghost girl was old enough, then if age counted even after death for her or if only the age she died at mattered when it came to drinking ages, followed by the same thought that Mark had voiced, which, if she wasn't alive then maybe she couldn't get drunk anyway- before Val gently urged her away from the craziness and out to the X-Men Pools, for which Nadine was very grateful.

2012-09-05 [Figgy]: Hope you don't mind, Flisk. I figured the two would want to be outside and whatnot together, since they're of similar age.

2012-09-05 [Flisky]: Yeah. I'll have Rook return his book then head outside...Or they can meet in the center hall.

2012-09-09 [Duredhel]: Guys.. leaving characters in limbo makes us all sad.

2012-09-09 [The Past]: It means the limbo wins! D:

2012-09-09 [XxTsomexX]: ? Lol

2012-09-09 [Duredhel]: Doesn't mean you had to erase your post, Evol XD. What we mean is, if you post your character leaving a room, try to make at least a little post of him arriving at the next area, so he's not left like.. in limbo :>

2012-09-11 [Roma]: I don't mean to leave her in limbo, but I've gotta go to work. I may or may not be back tonight, but I can post tomorrow.

2012-09-12 [Roma]: I take it that Valerie hasn't retrieved her reward yet? She's en route?

2012-09-12 [Ms. Steel]: Yeeeeah, she's just going to get it first.

2012-09-13 [Ms. Steel]: So, after re-reading your post, that's probably not the reaction you intended, but I had already committed to typing most of my post out before I realized that. :-b

2012-09-13 [Roma]: No, its wonderful. :D

2012-09-13 [XxTsomexX]: D: I sense a cat fight coming....

2012-09-13 [Figgy]: I love posting with you guys >_>

2012-09-13 [Roma]: The feeling is oh-so mutual

2012-09-13 [Ms. Steel]: Roger that.

2012-09-13 [Duredhel]: Light should electromagnetize one of the aluminum tables and make Akantha force-facebutt it >,>

2012-09-13 [XxTsomexX]: Haha that'd be funny

2012-09-16 [Figgy]: Poke?

2012-09-16 [Roma]: Yes'm.

2012-09-16 [Roma]: I request that either Light or Valerie mention (in passing, or whatever) that there is a garage full of cars somewhere in the mansion. That way Akantha knows where to go so she can meet Shade there.

2012-09-20 [Ms. Steel]: Soooo, I think those directions are correct. :-I

2012-09-20 [Figgy]: Yup! :D

2012-09-29 [Roma]: Black coffee, like a boss.

2012-10-01 [Duredhel]: Should I have Kenna just react to Flame or... wait for Jessica?

2012-10-02 [Roma]: Haha, Eva just got Vlad in trouble.

2012-10-02 [XxTsomexX]: Ooops :D

2012-10-02 [Roma]: No. Its awesome. The angrier Flame gets at Vlad, the more I adore her.

2012-10-02 [The Past]: XD Poor poor Vlad, hehe. Also, Roma and I do like to ride the drama llama :D

2012-10-02 [Duredhel]: >> Ok so Kenna is gonna leave if something doesn't happen, I guess.

2012-10-04 [The Past]: Eddie to the rescue! I mean, to annoy :D

2012-10-04 [Flisky]: Crappy posts are crappy.

2012-10-05 [Duredhel]: Guys, hope you don't mind if I split Kenna's post in two so it doesn't look weird XD.

2012-10-14 [The Past]: Where is Casper, Addy's room, right?

2012-10-14 [Flisky]: Yep.

2012-10-15 [Ms. Steel]: GENDER SWAP. eeeehehehe.

2012-10-15 [The Past]: 8O

2012-10-15 [XxTsomexX]: Oh noes!! lol

2012-10-16 [Duredhel]: Vlad would look exactly the same, but with boobs and lipstick.

2012-10-16 [The Past]: e.e thank god only a couple of you know what my DA profile has in it....

2012-10-16 [XxTsomexX]: I'm thinking some freaky friday shenanigans.

2012-10-16 [Figgy]: Ahaha GB Eddie?

2012-10-16 [The Past]: GB Eddie? Pfft! As if I would... ever... have done... that... already >.> NEVER I tell you.... yeah <.<

2012-10-16 [Figgy]: XD
Thought so.

2012-10-16 [Figgy]: Hahaha fuck now I wanna GB my chars XD
Casper would still be adorable.

2012-10-17 [Flisky]: ...Technically Addy is a GB....

2012-10-17 [The Past]: DON'T TEMPT ME FIGGY!

2012-10-17 [Figgy]: Hahahahaha XD
I swear, if I didn't have homework, we'd soon have a little lolita girl Casper XD

2012-11-10 [XxTsomexX]: Kenna eats like I do :D steak rare?

2012-11-10 [Duredhel]: Medium rare.

2012-11-10 [XxTsomexX]: Awe, lol at least it isn't well done.

2012-11-11 [Roma]: -popcorn-

These two. :3

2012-11-14 [Duredhel]: Tsome D: where art thou?

2012-11-14 [XxTsomexX]: Sorry lol was at work.

2012-12-19 [Duredhel]: I still think grilling him would'be been the best choice.

2012-12-19 [Flisky]: I like the laser better. XD

2012-12-23 [Duredhel]: I thought Vlad's skin was near impenetrable? O,o

2012-12-23 [Roma]: You are right, I'm an idiot. Just wanted to give him a visible mistake

2012-12-31 [Roma]: I hope you don't mind what I did there. :3

2012-12-31 [Ms. Steel]: That's cool!

2013-01-03 [Roma]: Not fond of meat? Did she go all speary on a bunch of pumpkins? XD

2013-01-03 [Flisky]: I'm using my personal experience of being in college and eating easy mac for every other meal (because it was cheap and you could cook it in the microwave). Now, I won't touch the stuff if it's the last food item in the house. Mac and cheese in general makes me queasy.

2013-02-10 [Duredhel]: .... XD there's only one more person in the cafeteria, why is Lexy reacting to 'so many people'?

2013-02-10 [twitchboy]: i meant food, but my mind was somewhere else

2013-02-10 [Duredhel]: ohuu XD ok.

2013-02-11 [Flisky]: Uh...Dur?

2013-02-11 [Duredhel]: Thar, sorry for the delay :O

2013-02-12 [Figgy]: Wouldn't it have happened almost a month ago, Flisk?

2013-02-12 [Flisky]: Huh? *has a confuse*

2013-02-12 [Duredhel]: 3 week time-jump between this and last in game day. I finks.

2013-02-12 [Flisky]: She didn't make any reference to how long it had been since her return...So I still have a confuse...

2013-02-12 [Duredhel]: "Had you been around a week ago you would have gotten the full story"

2013-02-12 [Flisky]: Yeah, I couldn't decide how long ago she had the conversation with those who needed to know. I figured the first of Decemberish. Which would have been a few days after the last in game day. She's rounding. A week ago-ish. (Does that make sense? Did I confuse everyone?)

2013-02-12 [Duredhel]: I love how everyone is a mind reader when it comes to Light and Shade even if they're nice and civil XD.

I'll post in a sec :>

2013-02-12 [twitchboy]: well i mean addy is crying and he made an obvious jest with the resemblance comment

2013-02-12 [Figgy]: Light is not nice or civil. :>

2013-02-13 [twitchboy]: Sorry dur?

2013-02-13 [Duredhel]: It's ok XD. I'ts fun that Shade can still manipulate people even when other characters seem to have read his character sheet.

2013-02-13 [Figgy]: Shade!

2013-02-13 [Flisky]: Addy likes him. She just isn't sure she can trust him what with the whole Light thing. :P

2013-02-13 [twitchboy]: Still playing the over possessive Lexi, Addy almost cried prepare thyself!!! lol jk

2013-02-13 [Duredhel]: Posted-ed :O!

2013-02-13 [Duredhel]: Posting in a bit guys.

2013-02-13 [twitchboy]: nothing for lexi to add... continue

2013-02-16 [twitchboy]: ?

2013-02-16 [Flisky]: Oops. Missed this somehow...

2013-03-14 [Figgy]: Whenever Isabelle and Rage get here, keep them here at least until René shows up :> (it'll probably be shortly after or before Light.)

2013-03-14 [Lepellier]: I'm sure Sam can think of something. :D

2013-03-20 [Lepellier]: Sam and Izzy should get along just fine. They both seem to hate the world.

2013-03-20 [The Black Goat]: Lmao

2013-03-21 [The Black Goat]: Ill post during my lunch

2013-03-25 [Duredhel]: Isabelle here, right? :O

2013-03-26 [Figgy]: Rage and Sam?

2013-03-26 [Lepellier]: Going to let Rage get her post in, and then I'll post tonight.

2013-03-31 [Figgy]: Yeahhh, guys, if Nox isn't gonna post here, then I'm not worried about it. So Rage or Sam? Don't even care about the order.

2013-04-04 [Figgy]: Isabelle?

2013-04-09 [Lirerial]: Can I post or should I wait for sam?

2013-04-09 [Figgy]: You can go ahead. There's too many people here to worry too much about posting order. Just don't leave anyone behind.

2013-04-09 [The Black Goat]: Hey, my new phone doesn't allow me to use the little bracket things for bolding and italics so I'm gonna have to indicate things with paranthesis instead =P

2013-04-09 [Flisky]: Does the little edit things appear at the bottom of the editing box? Because you can click those instead.

2013-04-09 [The Black Goat]: It doesn't sadly

2013-04-09 [Flisky]: Oh god. I'll fix it.

2013-04-09 [The Black Goat]: Thanks, stupid phone =P

2013-04-09 [Figgy]: Sorrryyyy didn't realize Isabelle spoke to René :X

2013-04-09 [Lirerial]: Sooo... is Isabelle speaking loud enough for Rage to hear her?

2013-04-09 [The Black Goat]: lol its alright, the cafeterias a busy place anyway

2013-04-09 [Figgy]: Too many people in cafeteria >_>

2013-04-10 [CuteCommander]: Yeah, I might send Devlin away after Flame talks again - find him some trouble to get into :P

2013-04-12 [Figgy]: Hahaha, I forgot Light..... >_>

2013-04-12 [Figgy]: Yaaaay words :>

2013-04-12 [Figgy]: Ssssaaaammmm?

2013-04-12 [Lepellier]: Oh, hey, that's me...

2013-04-14 [Figgy]: Erm... Isabelle? Flame? Tory?

2013-04-14 [Flisky]: I'm gonna put my two cents in here and say that I don't think Isabelle knows how old she is. :P She's kinda acting like a jealous mid twenties rather than a teenager. But maybe that's how teenagers act now. But the buying alcohol should be impossible for her.

2013-04-14 [The Black Goat]: she was just going to give him the money to buy it, and yeah, shes a jealous, petty little twat, not very mature, ive known alot of girls like that at 17

2013-04-15 [Figgy]: C'mon guys, let's try to get these peeps on the road :3

2013-04-15 [Lirerial]: Who are we waiting on?

2013-04-15 [Figgy]: Me, but I want people to try to move out after I post. :3

2013-04-15 [Lirerial]: oh ok lol Rage is ready to go whenever

2013-04-16 [Figgy]: Almost done with post guys, sorry.

2013-04-17 [Figgy]: Uhmm since The Past didn't post with Flame, wabba post with Tory, Flisk?

2013-04-17 [Flisky]: Yeah. I was getting ready to do a full round of posts tonight.
