[IC: mutant accommodation decisions]

[julienned]

 [IN THE MUTANT CABIN COMMON ROOM we have Julian straddling a chair and spinning a card on his fingertip. it's a valid use for telekinesis.]

So now we have a spare room.

((OOC: THIS SURE IS SOME IC FALLOUT FROM JAY GUTHRIE DROPPING. Whoever let a bunch of codependent teens live together, anyway. ANYONE IS WELCOME TO TAG IN IF THAT WOULD FILL YOU WITH JOY.))

Hello. May I come in?

[julienned]

[he shrugs]

I'm not about to stop you.

[steps away from the door at least.]

[mind_over_metal]

*goes inside, far enough not to be awkward but staying a bit toward the edges of the space. doesn't say anything yet, waiting for Julian's move.*

[julienned]

We're just rearranging the cabin now Guthrie's gone home.

[mind_over_metal]

*glancing around in genuine inquiry*

The cabin itself isn't changing in reaction to it, is it?

[julienned]

No. We just already have one spare room, if we have a second then someone will get assigned to it. Someone not a mutant.

[mind_over_metal]

I'm sure that any changes won't be immediate. Here, at least, you do have time.

[julienned]

No, they would be. We don't get things that work out in our favour.

[mind_over_metal]

Not often. So we have to be that much more prepared to seize onto the opportunity that it might.

[julienned]

Or mitigate the bad. So that's why I moved in.

[mind_over_metal]

*nods*

How are the rooms distributed now?

[julienned]

Vic, Jubilee and I are in singles. Everyone else shares.

[mind_over_metal]

Are you more accustomed to sharing a room or being on your own?

[julienned]

I don't really care. It's not like I need someone to hold my hand at night.

[mind_over_metal]

I've never believed that you have.

Should it come down to it, do you feel comfortable with others like us but who are from completely different worlds? In case I should find that suggestion being made.

[julienned]

I don't want them here.

[mind_over_metal]

*nods*

I'd offer to help with any furniture rearranging or what have you, but I think you're just about the last person for whom that would actually be helpful.

[julienned]

[he laughs a little]

Heh. No, I have it covered.

[mind_over_metal]

*gives a small smile in return*

I'll get out of your way, then. And just remember that you can always reach me. And I truly do mean always.

*...is also surreptitiously checking what everyone's ice cream preferences are*

[julienned]

...it's mint chocolate chip.

[mind_over_metal]

*an impressed eyebrow raise*

You are full of surprises.

[julienned]

Miss Frost was my mentor at school. And when Marvel Girl came back from space, her using her telepathy was the quickest way to teach me control.

[mind_over_metal]

...from space. Of course she was in space.

*we only got the first people in space just last year, okay, these things are still a little wondrous to me*

Well, if it's something you'd be up for, at any point, I'm quite interested in hearing about your experiences at the school.

[julienned]

Don't ask me for a lesson plan, I hardly ever go to school now.

[but it's pointedly not "I won't talk about it".]

[mind_over_metal]

*with a feigned sigh*

And there was your chance to have pranked history by loading the inaugural semester with terrible course offerings.
