Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 6:37 pm"Joy." Jubilee said as she started to read the files "Joy and happiness."
Re: June 18, Jubilee's office
Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 7:02 pm"Ah, good, you've seen the problems." He handed her the last of the paperwork. "And now they're your problems."
With that, he turned and went to leave before he could get pulled any farther into this mess.

Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 7:19 pm"...like he wanted to get away from us, isn't it?" Marie says, looking amused.

Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 7:25 pm"I don't know why he'd feel that way, I..."
Re: June 18, Jubilee's office
Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 7:31 pm"...Thought we were being quite polite, didn't you dear?"
Re: June 18, Jubilee's office
Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 7:32 pmThe girls both smiled at Jubilee, speaking seemlessly over each other as they finished each other's sentences. They were dressed alike, walking in step, they even seemed to blink at exactly the same times, barring something blowing at one of their faces.

Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 7:35 pm"Hi!" she said, smiling brightly "I'm Jubilee. I hope that we'll get along great, and that you won't cause any problems. Because I just had the carpets cleaned, and blood is a bitch to get out."
Re: June 18, Jubilee's office
Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 7:36 pmThey even breathed in time with each other. Both of them watching Jubilee like she was some colorful little amusement visiting their world.
Re: June 18, Jubilee's office
Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 7:40 pmAnna giggled as she started talking. "Using threats to try to put us in line, Marie. Obviously not usually in charge of this. And possibly..."

Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 7:42 pm"...she think's we're strange. Not very open minded," Marie says, shaking her head, "I wonder if she'll..."
Re: June 18, Jubilee's office
Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 7:45 pm"...try to relate to us in a pretense at liking us, next, or begin insinuating that we're odd to maintain a sense of superiority in the conversation?"
Re: June 18, Jubilee's office
Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 11:29 pm"Neither." Jubilee said "I don't have time to play games. So I'm not gonna."
Re: June 18, Jubilee's office
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2011 1:36 am"Ah, one of that kind."
Re: June 18, Jubilee's office
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2011 1:39 am"So very....professional," Marie say, leaning her head on Anna's shoulder.
Re: June 18, Jubilee's office
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2011 1:41 am"I care about doing my job." Jubilee said "Of which dealing with you is a small and off-pissing part."
Re: June 18, Jubilee's office
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2011 1:42 am"Very high strung. It might be hormones. SHould we just let her..."
Re: June 18, Jubilee's office
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2011 1:44 am"...have her fun? I think it might be for the best," Marie says, "We don't want to make a bad impression."
Re: June 18, Jubilee's office
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2011 10:20 pm"Ok, I see you've got your dorm assignments." Jubilee said "You'll be staying over the summer, like a lot of the students. I can see about setting you up with a job, if you want, since you won't be joining the teams."
Re: June 18, Jubilee's office
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2011 10:29 pmAnna mock-pouted. "They don't want us on their teams. How disappointing, how will we..."
Re: June 18, Jubilee's office
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2011 10:36 pm"...prove our worth?" Marie asks, "We desperately need their approval."
Re: June 18, Jubilee's office
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2011 10:40 pmA firework exploded harmlessly behind each of their heads. "By keeping your noses clean."
Re: June 18, Jubilee's office
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2011 10:41 pm"We'll have you know that our hygiene is rather impeccable, of course. You're free..."
Re: June 18, Jubilee's office
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2011 10:45 pm"...to not trust us," Marie says, "We're very scary little girls after all."
Re: June 18, Jubilee's office
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2011 10:52 pm"Honey, you two aren't even in the top ten of scary on this campus."
Re: June 18, Jubilee's office
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2011 10:55 pmAnna just gave Jubilee a smile that said 'we'll see about that.'
Famous last words?
