X-MEN EAST 1ST



Attached to the X-Men Center 1st, the easternmost section of the first floor's hallway is practically a mirror-image of the West Hall, though from here one can access the X-Men Media Room, go study in the X-Men Library or hang out in the X-Men Den. Tucked around the corner by a large bay window is also an elevator with a single destination: The expansive underground X-Men Garage.



X-Men Time

Monday, May 25th





Atsila walked out of the library, a torn page in his hand that he was slowly setting ablaze, burning at a crawling pace on his palm. He walked slowly towards the center hall, waiting for Coral to appear behind him.

Coral appeared scant seconds later, hugging the damaged book to her chest. "Atsila! The books in the library are for everyone! If you want to burn paper, you should get some of your own!" As mom-cliche as it sounded, the fish-girl really did look more disappointed than angry as she chastised the fire entity. "I'll buy you some tomorrow if you want, but you can't destroy things you don't own."

"Why not?" Atsila asked. "No one else looks at the broken books. If they're just sitting there, why can't I burn them? I've been good all day long, I only burned one thing." He didn't sound defensive or whiny, more like a child who just wanted his toy. A rather pathetic child, but a child nonetheless.

"Well, some older books are kept even when they are damaged because they are rare or valuable. There could have only been a small amount printed or this one could have been signed by someone or have study notes," Coral held up the book so Atsila could see the cover, as though there was something miraculous about it, "or it could have been passed down to someone by a loved one and has a lot of really special memories attached. You can't really tell how valuable something is when it's not your own."

Now Atsila was looking at her like she was crazy. "Valuable? You humans are really strange, putting so much value in objects." The page in his hand finished burning and he turned away from the book being thrust in his direction, not caring to look at the temptation any longer. "I simply do not understand it at all."

"Hm...Do you understand buying things? If you buy something, you own it. If I buy something, I own it. If I buy something and give it to you--and I do not call it 'borrowing' or ask that it be returned--then it is yours. You may burn what is yours. Does that sound fair?" Coral hugged the book to herself again and blinked at Atsila, hoping he understood what she was saying.

"Buying? Borrowing?" These were new concepts to Atsila. He looked over at Coral and tilted his head. She was so full of information that he wanted to know, and that was a great thing since she was also his only real friend. "I understand owning. The shell owned the things in that room but I'm not supposed to burn them because they might still have use."

"Yes! And the book might be useful to someone, even if it is just to help them remember something that happened a long time ago," Coral hugged the book a little tighter. "If you want to burn paper, please just let me know and I'll try to get you some."

"I don't want to burn paper," Atsila said, his voice sounding far too reasonable. "It just has a quicker burn time and therefore is less dangerous than other things I might be able to start on fire." And there was his mixed up motive for starting the book on fire. Coral was a water creature and Atsila reasoned that she understood that being away from their elements could cause them harm. Atsila did try to go without burning anything for a day, afterwards he felt like his head was trying to rip open.

"Oh...Then you should have lots and lots of paper." Coral nodded to herself, understanding at least that he did not want to cause more harm than necessary. "There should be a storage of printer paper somewhere...It's a school after all! You can just take a couple of packets for now and I'll buy replacements!"

"Printer paper?" Atsila asked. "If they will allow it." He didn't know what she meant by printer paper, but if it kept people from getting too upset at him, he would do it. It also meant that he might have a supply of paper to burn that was his. That would be good too. "Where is the paper?" He momentarily forgot where they were headed to in his haste to go find the printer paper she had mentioned.

"Well...printer paper belongs with printers...So it should be in the room with all the computers!" Coral grinned and gestured to the X-Men Media Room. "C'mon! I bet they have a lot of extra packets of it in there!"

2013-01-30 [Figgy]: That one definitely wasn't directed at you, though XD We're sort f referring to the girls (and, well, everyone else) at the front gate who just look at Casper and wave and go "How cute!" then go on about their lives like nothing out of the ordinary ever happened. XD We're just VERY nit-picky about good RPing, I think. This is a high-quality RP, so we want high-quality posts.

2013-01-30 [Flisky]: Wait until they meet Tim...

2013-01-30 [The Black Goat]: Miles....psst! *poke poke*

2013-01-30 [The Black Goat]: I've seen four african-american folks near base who are albino, but I do kind of puase and go wtf?

2013-01-30 [Lirerial]: Idk, I never had much of a reaction the first time I saw an albino person; that's why I didn't really think much of it.

2013-02-08 [Dwarf Ronin]: So, do I respond above or here, I'm confused.

2013-02-08 [Lirerial]: normally someone will move it up; sometimes I have to post here cause I'm using a tablet. I'll move it up right now since I'm on the computer at the moment lol

2013-02-09 [Dwarf Ronin]: Gotcha, just was curious :D

2013-03-03 [Duredhel]: You left Anthony in limbo, Evolution :/

2013-03-03 [Evolution X]: DAmn, sorry, knew there was something to do.

2013-03-20 [twitchboy]: go ahead and post Nathan and Justin's entry since you already stated you led him in lol

2013-03-20 [Lepellier]: Nathan hadn't gone in yet, but I'll go ahead and do so now. :D

2013-04-13 [Duredhel]: *waits*

2013-04-14 [The Black Goat]: Caleb smiled at her remark and let out a pseudo good natured chuckle. "Well we'll just have to see about that, won't we?" He stepped back when the lift arrived, "after you." He said, pausing to allow her to enter before him then coming in behind her and pressing the button to take them down to the x-men garage@wiki .

2013-04-14 [Duredhel]: Remember that when you post your character leaving an area, you need to immediately post him arriving in the next area so we don't get chars stuck in limbo :O. Always do those two posts one right after the other.

2013-04-16 [Figgy]: Dunno if you have Lillium posted here to run into René, but he probably won't invite her out till later, jsyk.

2013-04-16 [Evolution X]: awkward moment where Anthony's still standing in the other place talking about teleportation and no one can do anything yet ._.

2013-04-16 [Figgy]: Haha... ha

2013-04-16 [Haunted Fate]: No, I figured he wouldn't say something until later. Just wanted to give Lillium some interactions. xD

2013-04-19 [Ms. Steel]: ...noodge?

2013-04-19 [Flisky]: I thought I had forgot to post here. Then was all "wait...I posted last..." :P
