Sep 2nd - The Voices Of The Wind

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 10:59 am

Theresa had contemplated doing this in the Danger Room, but that just didn't seem right somehow. So was standing barefoot out in one of the gardens, her eyes glowing a soft green as she ran her hands through the air like someone running their fingers water. The movements resembled tai-chi, but weren't exactly right for that either. She pivoted up to one foot and swung her arms around, bringing them out in front of her palms forward. And the wind followed the movement, swirling around her and following the movement of her arms to blow out across the garden.

"Hey," Brigid says as she approaches. "Heard you were back."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 12:51 pm

"Just got back yesterday. News still travels freakishly fast, I see," she says with a smile, bringing one hand up to support a small swirling vortex of air, manipulating it with her fingers as though she were physically spinning it. "How're you doing, Brigid?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 12:54 pm

"Yeah well, people checked what the forecast was supposed to be," she smirks.

"I'm doing better now that Dad's left, at least."

"I did notice Lord Scary hovering in the crowd yesterday. Hopefully he didn't cause too much damage."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 1:10 pm

"Dad was just, you know, being Dad."

"So this is new. You've been practicing, huh?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 1:13 pm

"All summer to one extent or another," she said. She flicked her fingers and the vortex turned on its side, still spinning against her palm, even though her palm was now vertical. "Just like I imagine everyone around here has been doing."

"I just chilled out for the most part. There's some bad things that come out in the dark months."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 1:52 pm

"I wasn't sure if you went home or not, though I suppose I should have with your dad here." She gave the tiny whirlwind a gentle push and it moves to dance around Brigid. "The kids in Spain thought that trick was awesome."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 4:19 pm

"See, now you're getting to the point where you might have been more places than me. I don't know if we can be friends anymore."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 5:28 pm

"Mostly just France and Spain," she said with a chuckle. "I'll probably walk somewhere else next summer."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 5:34 pm

"I think this is the most sun you've gotten, like, ever."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 5:38 pm

Theresa stuck out her tongue and the whirlwind made a rude noise as it fell apart. "I suppose you might die of a heart attack when you find out the only electronic device I touched on my trip was my phone."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 5:56 pm

"Hey, I'm not the one who was tanning a nice minty green by monitor light."

"Still, you're in university now. You can just say it's the new you."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 5:59 pm

"It really is," she said, perhaps a little more soberly than Brigid would expect for her.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 6:00 pm

"...pretty serious thing, huh?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 6:03 pm

"Eye opening. Trying to find a place in the pattern is not simple stuff."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 6:05 pm

"You mean like weather systems?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 6:09 pm

Theresa considered her answer for a long moment, "Life as a whole. I... had some strange experiences last Spring."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 6:18 pm

"...sounds like it. Something you don't want to talk about?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 6:21 pm

"I'm..." She moved over and sat on one of the benches. "I'm not really sure how. I'm sure you noticed I wasn't really all there before summer break."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 6:23 pm

"Yeah, I kind of just thought it was you being worried about what you'd do over the summer. I know you and your parents really clash."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 6:27 pm

"I... talked to someone... something? It's hard to describe. I still don't know that I've wrapped my mind around it."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 6:29 pm

"Uhm okay, maybe you should remember that my weird threshold is already a bit high? Stuff happens."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 6:33 pm

"Yeah, sorry. I'm still not all there sometimes. I don't even really have a name for it. It's like nature itself was... is talking to me."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 6:33 pm

"...you know, Mom gets like that sometimes."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 6:36 pm

"What's it like? Does she talk about it?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 6:39 pm

"...not a lot. It happened after some mission she was consulting on with SHIELD. Uncle Logan was there, too. She came back kind of weird. Neither of them wanted to talk about it."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 6:42 pm

Theresa blinked a little at "Uncle Logan." "I can see how being on a mission with Wolverine could change people."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 6:46 pm

"He was actually on my side when I was begging to get sent here."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 6:57 pm

"Good for him then," Theresa said with a smile. "But yeah, I'm still trying to get it figured out. It's seriously strange, but it doesn't feel bad or wrong, if that makes sense."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 7:00 pm

"Well whatever it is, it really suits you. You're totally rocking it."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 7:07 pm

"Thanks," she said with a smile. "But that's what I spent my summer doing, listening to nature and learning."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Oct 02, 2014 7:42 pm

"So I'm guessing the big cool university student doesn't want to borrow my wardrobe from home now," she smirks.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Oct 02, 2014 7:46 pm

"To wear in England? No. I might still go native, should I ever get to visit."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Oct 02, 2014 7:48 pm

"Maybe. If I can get my brother to promise not to hit on you."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Oct 02, 2014 7:49 pm

"He was cute, but totally not my type."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Oct 02, 2014 7:57 pm

"That won't stop him from showing off."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Oct 02, 2014 8:05 pm

"And that would embarrass you."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Oct 02, 2014 8:07 pm

"Noticing a theme, huh?"
