Common Room: To us, it is The Beast... ((OPEN))

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as additional housing and classroom space for the Institute. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for both the Institute and those University students on a meal plan. Student reactions have been mixed, and reports of paranormal activity are as of yet unsubstantiated.

Common Room: To us, it is The Beast... ((OPEN))

Regan was hanging around the common room again, watching terrible TV shows and infomercials. The worse they were, the more she seemed to be enjoying herself.

Steve had been incredibly scarce since he ran out of the cafeteria. He now emerged into the common room in jeans and a black t-shirt, looking like he's poorly hiding being depressed.

Crap. Regan.

He attempted to sneak past. He wasn't stealthy.

"Hey, muscle head," Regan says, "How've you been?"

"Had any nightmares recently?"

Mercy wanders into the common room, earbuds trailing to her phone. She looks up from the phone and spots Steve, and Regan. Wrinkling her nose at the ghost, she turns away from Regan and pops the earbuds out.

She tries a half-hearted smile at Steve. "So uh... I wanted to say that um... sorry for yelling at you."

Being depressed.

"Right," he nodded, "I'm not up to anything really, aside from trying to keep my thoughts in my own head."

"What exactly can it do anyway? It simulates an environment or something?"

She chuckles. "I guess you could just show me. Unless we have to sign up to use it or something?"
