Crys burst through the doors from
the main entrance hall. She was utterly famished from the excursion int he Danger Room and needed something to eat right away. She ran to the fridge, wrenched it open and took out the block of cheese, milk, and found a pack of crackers in the cabinet
Morgan watched Crys gather her items from the kitchen. She ran and gathered hers as well. All that was visable of her was a quick blur, moving all around the kitchen. Morgan grabbed Bread, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, mayonnaise, and packaged turkey and ham. She spread them along the counter top and stopped to look at the others, "Anyone else want a sub?"
Joselyn walked into the commissary lazily, hands tucked into her back pockets. She waited until everyone had stopped running around then made her way to a cabinet and opened it in search of a glass. Finding that cabinet only contained plates and bowls, she gave the door next to it a try and pulled out a tall plastic cup. "No thanks," she said in response to Morgan's inquiry as she filled up the plastic cup with water from the tap. Leaning against the counter she took several large gulps from the cup before turning and refilling it. Her eyes scanned the counter until she found a fruit bowl and plucked what appeared to be a mango from the bunch. Setting her glass down, she proceeded to procure a knife and then cut the mango, end to end, twice, and then peel off the skin. "Anyone want a slice of mango?" she asked, figuring it'd be the polite thing to do amongst others.
"No thanks, I'm good."
Crys said holding up her cracker and cheese sandwhich. She smiled and popped it in her mouth
"Suit yourself then,"
Morgan replied. In a flash, she made her sandwich and put all of the ingredients away. After getting a plate, she began to eat.
Shrugging,
Joselyn peeled off a slice of mango and bit into it. It only took a few minutes for her to finish off the rest of the mango. She hadn't realized how hungry she really was. After finishing the mango she gulped down another cup full of water then grabbed an apple to eat.
Joss entered the commissary and sat down quietly. He was a tad shell shocked from the events earlier.
Crys picked up her cheese block and the crackers and walked over to Joss. "You alright, Joss? Want some cheese and crackers?"
"Thank you."
Joss said as she offered the cheese and crackers "And I suppose I'm not used to all this activity. My hometown is rather quiet."
"You're Amish right?"
Crys asked as she cut a piece of cheese and stuck it between two crackers. "I'm from Japan, well sorta. I was kind of raised over here. A lil here, a lil there." She smiled and stared at his ears. "This is gonna sound stupid and I hope you don't get offended, Joss." She batted her eyelashes and grinned, "But can I touch your ears?"
After finishing the apple,
Joselyn cleaned out her cup, but it away, and then left the kitchen, returning to
the main entrance hall
"Amish?"
Morgan asked finishing her sandwich, "You really don't look like it that much." She realized what she had just said and blurted out, "I don't mean that offensively or anything like that at all though, Bat." Morgan turned to Crys, "I heard they got cool doors over there." she said, referring to Japan.
"Doors?"
Joss asked not knowing what she meant.
"You know,"
Morgan began, "Those old fashioned, slide ones? Those are pretty sweet."
"You mean those weird paper ones?"
Crys asked her with a chuckle. "My mum and dad always got mad cuz they'd have to keep replacing them. I always tripped and fell through..." She turned back to Joss and stared at his ears. "Joss? Can I????"
Morgan laughed a bit. Cry's attention on Joss drove her to attention aswell. "So..." she began, "do you drink blood then?"
Crys coughed and laughed at Morgan's question. "I highly doubt he's a vampire, silly. He's far too nice."
"Yea, I'm just messin',"
Morgan said, scratching her head.
Joss was a little lost with the whole discution about doors. He answered Morgan's next question with another "Why would I drink blood?"
"Well..."
Morgan trailed off a bit, "With the whole bat thing, I was just wondering if you were part vampire bat. I guess that I just over analyze things."
"I understand."
Joss said "When I was found as a baby I was sick. After my parents failed to cure me I was taken to a doctor. He told my parents that I was suffering from a potassium defishiency. It was because I wasn't eating enough fruit even though I was still on a milk diet. He took a blood sampel and a week later told my parents that I was completely human but much like an Indonesian Flying Fox. The greater fruit Bat. I can eat anything but if I don't eat enough fruit I get sick."
"Well that's not very cool."
Crys told him and tries asking him again, "Joss, can I touch your ears?"
"It's better then a blood diet,"
Morgan joked.
"I suppose."
Joss answered to Crys' request
"So I know you got quite the set of lungs on you, but what about signing"
Morgan asked, "As in vocals?"
"I've never thought about it."
Joss confessed "We don't sing in church."
"I'm in a-"
Morgan paused, "
was in a band. I did vocals and playing guitar. They kicked me out." She rolled her eyes, "the bastards..." she whispered. "First off, they didn't like the whole mutant thing to begin with, but apparently they thought I was using my mutation to play guitar."
"Well you do move fast, Morgan."
Crys explained with a grin. "I'd love to see you tear up a guitar though." She turned to Joss and smiled happily and ran her fingers delicately across his ears, nervously and soothingly caressing them. "Hehe."
"The fur on the back of
Joss neck stood on end as Crys caressed his ears.
Crys blushed slightly and pulled her hand away. "They're so soft..."
"We're talking DragonForce quality baby,"
Morgan gloated a bit, "They think that my mutation is cheating." She watched as Cry's felt up Joss's ears. "I think it be sweet if you got those things pierced."
"Morgan, you should totally feel his ears! They're so soft!"
Crys said with a grin. She pouted when Morgan explained. "Well that just sucks."
"Uhh..ok?"
Morgan said. She leaned over and lightly caressed Joss's ear with the back of her hand. She felt a bit akward and pulled her hand away. "Must be hard to be out in public like this, eh Bat? Crys looks like everyone else and at least I can fold and tuck my wings in my boots."
"Hey! Are you insulting me??? I so do NOT look like everyone else! Have you ever seen a redhead-green eyed-Asian? It takes alot of time for me to look this good!"
Crys said and batted her eyelashes at Joss. He was about the only boy student she'd seen so far, so she figured why not flirt it up?
"No,"
Morgan denied, "Some hair dye and contacts can change that. You can't really cover up fur, wings and ears like this so easily."
"It just so happens that's what I do do. Hair dye and contacts."
Crys replied and popped another cracker sandwhich into her mouth. She chewed and then smiled. "Well, I bet the whole being Amish part kinda helped, right Joss? I can't imagine your folks being cruel cuz of your mutation."
"Exactly."
Morgan said. She hated talking about parents and families. The whole subject about people actually having a family life pissed her off. "Personally, I think parents are over rated."
"The hard thing is trying to fly while wearing a shirt. I fold my wings against my arms but I can't extend my wings while wearing a shirt."
Joss explained "But everyone in my ordinung was very understanding. I love my parents but I wish I knew who my real parents where."
Crys set down her next cracker sandwhich. "You were adopted?"
"I was found in a field by my father when I was an infant."
Joss told them
"Oh my..."
Crys said quietly
"My mother couldn't have children so the Elders allowed them to adopt me."
Joss explained
"Well that's kinda cool. It sounds like something off of a soap opera. You were the son that they were unable to have and without them, you would've died in that field."
Morgan explained.
Joss's silence meant he agreed
Crys kinda wanted to hug Joss, but decided she'd let ihm have his space, for now. "So the three of us eh? She should be like the rulers of the school once it starts. That's what I say. We took down a super villian on our first day."
Morgan looked around the room, "We don't seem to be getting much attention so far."
"It's the first day and I didn't see any other students yet."
Crys said with a shrug
"We have been kinda hanging out only in here,"
Morgan began, "I wouldn't mind getting out of this lunch room."
Crys popped another sandwhich into her mouth and smiled. "I'd like to take a look around too. I'm full now anyways." She looked at Joss, "Would you care to join us?"
By this time,
Morgan was already at the door to leave, "Hurry it up, will ya?." she called.
Crys put the cheese back in the fridge and the box of crackers up in the cabinet. "Hold your horses, gotta put the stuff away first."
"Oi."
Morgan said while rolling her eyes. She tapped her foot on the ground.
Crys smiled at her and walked to the doorway. "There, all my stuff is put back. That wasn't so bad was it?"
Joss retrieved his hat and followed the two ladies.
Morgan led the two to
the main entrance hall.
