Ayami stormed, in a huff, down the corridor from the top floor of the admin building.

Steve rounded a corner into her path, the brawny boy's face practically buried in a map pamphlet.

by **Ayami Morita** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 3:34 pm

"Hey! You! Have you seen Carrot Top around here?"

by **Steve Jones** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 3:42 pm

He lowered the pamphlet.

"...Who?"

by **Ayami Morita** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 3:47 pm

"Y'know, gumby. He around?"

by **Steve Jones** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 3:52 pm

He gave her a puzzled look.

"I'm sorry, I... don't know who you mean..."

by **Ayami Morita** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 3:55 pm

"Wh...oh. You must be new here."

by **Steve Jones** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 4:01 pm

"Yeah. I just got here this week," he answered, dumbfounded expression fading.

by **Ayami Morita** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 4:03 pm

"I can tell. You're all "wha?" a nd "huh?" and I bet you're lost."

by **Steve Jones** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 4:05 pm

"...very," he admitted after a sigh.

I suck at maps.

by **Ayami Morita** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 4:09 pm

"Alright, this is where you go when you need to yell at the staff. Do you need to yell at the staff?"

by **Steve Jones** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 4:48 pm

"Can't say I do, no. I had appointment for orientation but I spilled something on my map and now I can't find the right office and I'm gonna be late," he answered, speaking just a little too fast.

by **Ayami Morita** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 4:54 pm

"Alright, woah, slowdown, Flash, what're you looking for?"

by **Steve Jones** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 5:07 pm

"The headmistress... though I'm not sure why she'd do an orientation herself. I'd have thought she had people for that."

by **Ayami Morita** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 6:14 pm

"Oh, you'll find out soon -- they're all crazy, or creepy, or both."

by **Steve Jones** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 6:30 pm

"They?"

by **Ayami Morita** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 6:59 pm

"The staff."

by **Steve Jones** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 7:04 pm

"Surely they can't be that bad."

by **Ayami Morita** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 8:16 pm

"You want the cat lady, the old pervert, or the demi-goddess?" she deadpanned.

by **Steve Jones** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 8:20 pm

"Demi-goddess?" he asked skeptically.

by **Ayami Morita** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 11:57 pm

"Oh, just wait until you meet our fearless leader."

What have I gotten myself into.

After a long and awkward pause, he said, "Thanks for the help. I'm Steve, by the way."

by **Ayami Morita** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 2:44 pm

"Ayami. A pleasure, I'm sure."

by **Steve Jones** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 3:44 pm

"Any other things not in the brochure I ought to know about this place?" he asked conspiratorially.

by **Ayami Morita** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:46 pm

"Well, what's your area?"

by **Steve Jones** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:55 pm

"My... area?"

by **Ayami Morita** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 11:11 pm

"Yeah, what's it you do."

by **Steve Jones** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 10:22 am

"Oh. Telepathy. Though all it really does so far is images."

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 8:23 pm

"OK, then you're going with the headcases. Hi, I'm one two, I guess. Like you, though, I don't do the range."

by **Steve Jones** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 8:27 pm

"Oh?" he asked curiously.

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 8:35 pm

"Yeah. I'm just a projective empath."

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 10:29 am

"Empath? That's..." he said, making a thoughtful face as he searched his brain, "Emotions, right?"

by **Ayami Morita** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 1:39 pm

"That's the one."

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 2:02 pm

"What's that like?"

by **Ayami Morita** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 3:16 pm

"A pain in the ass. Imagine high school drama, and feeling all of it."

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 3:47 pm

"Eesh. That sounds terrible."

by **Ayami Morita** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 5:14 pm

"Yeah. I mean, I guess I could mess with 'em a bit, but, well, you know."

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 5:21 pm

"Telepath ethics?"

by **Ayami Morita** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 5:24 pm

"Somethin' like that. People don't like when you mess with their heads. Mind you, some people need their heads messed with."

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 6:54 pm

"Yeah, maybe," he hesitantly agreed.
