June 13th Dinner: Another new arrival

((Wiiiiide open!))

Trev walked in, sniffing the air hungrily. He hadn't eaten since he got here this morning and was ready to eat just about the first thing he could find. As he soon found out, the cafeteria food--at least tonight--wouldn't disappoint. He filled his tray with a little bit of everything, paid with his shiny new student ID, and set out to look for a table. He had his pick, since it was a bit late, it was summer, and he was certain anyone on the X-Teams were probably still dealing with the aftermath of the soccer attacks he'd seen on the news. He pulled out his phone after grabbing a spot at an empty table and started reading while shoveling some pasta down with his free hand.

Wanda walked in, freshly showered after a workout. She grabbed a tray and went through the now-usual routine of bending down to see what was being served and inevitably taking some of everything.

Trev flipped through several pages of a book on his phone before he took notice of the giant perusing the dinner line. He set his phone down and focused on his food, wondering if he'd catch the eye of someone to share dinner with.

Wanda finished gathering everything up and began looking for a place to sit. Spying an empty place opposite Trev, she walked over, "Mind if I sit here?"

by **Trev Anderson** » Sat Sep 10, 2011 10:03 pm

"Not at all," he smiled. "Have a seat. I'm Trev. Just got here today."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Wanda," she said, setting her tray on the table. She picked up the chair and moved it out of the way before kneeling on the floor, which left her about the right height for the table.

"Hm? Someone new? Brandy said, smiling brightly. She was dressed in one of her normal "girl next door" outfits, a pink tank top that wasn't too revealing, and some shorts that, miraculously, weren't too short. "Well hi! Do you two mind if I join you?"

by **Trev Anderson** » Sat Sep 10, 2011 10:14 pm

"Ouch. You'd think they'd have a few bigger tables and chairs around, or at least a cushion for you," he said watching her kneel.

"Not at all," he smiled--somewhat nervously, as it's not often you have not one, but two attractive strangers asking to share a table with you-- "come join the party. I'm Trev. Just got there today."

"Little late for the start of classes, aren't you?" Brandy giggled. "I'm Brandy, nice to meet you both!"

by **Wanda Johansen** » Sat Sep 10, 2011 10:17 pm

"Nice to meet you, Brandy," Wanda said before commenting to Trev. "I make do. I should probably bring a cushion to the cafeteria with me, but I keep forgetting."

Trev found himself continuing to steal glances at Brandy; he had a nagging sense he knew her face but he had no idea from where...

He finishing chewing a bite of pasta, chuckling. "Probably more early. My previous school finished classes over a month ago. I just wanted to come and get the lay of the land before classes started up again. New country and all."

"And Wanda," he added, taking a sip of his pop, "If I know anything about most of the staff working at any Xavier school, it's that you could probably at least ask them and see if they'll provide it. Pretty accommodating, they are."

"It's fine," Wanda said, "it beats trying to hunch over to eat my food and compared to my workout, the floor is kind of comfortable."

by **Trev Anderson** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 10:57 pm

"Trying to get into fighting shape for X-Teams? I've heard those are pretty brutal."

by **Brandy North** » Mon Sep 12, 2011 1:37 am

Brandy shuddered at that. "That's what I hear, too. My roommates keep coming back all bruised and banged up."

"At XI we did some similar stuff for power training. Kept me in great shape. They clearly had no such thing at U of I, which is why I'm fat again," he laughed.

by **Wanda Johansen** » Mon Sep 12, 2011 6:58 am

"Mostly self-defense training with some aerobic workout and weight-training thrown in. But yes, I'd like to try out for one of the X-Teams," Wanda said.

by **Trev Anderson** » Mon Sep 12, 2011 11:42 am

"That's cool. It's really stressful being in tight situations as much as X-teams seem to be, but there's a real...sense of pride I guess in knowing that you're helping people. And knowing that you're working as a team with people who start to really feel like family sometimes. I can only speak from what I had at XI in high school, but I imagine the training is at least a bit similar."

Trev took a few more bites of food and another drink of his pop.

"I might have to look into joining up. A big part of me was tired of all the craziness that went along with mutant school, which is why I left...but I realized I missed it, especially after getting hassled so much last year."
