Raven walked across the quad, kicking a rock.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 6:58 pm

"Now, what did that rock ever do to you?" The headmistress asked good-naturedly, on a stroll of her own.

by **Trini Thompson** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 7:05 pm

"Nothing. Yet," she sulked.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 7:06 pm

"Pre-emptive strike, then?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 7:15 pm

"I guess..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 7:19 pm

"Well I'm sure the rock didn't know what hit it."

by **Trini Thompson** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 9:46 pm

"I guess not..." she said, finally looking up at who was talking.

"Oh! Geez...like, sorry, headmistress."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 9:47 pm

"Sorry about what?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 10:27 pm

"Um, for not...um, like, paying attention?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 10:28 pm

"Well that's hardly a sin, is it?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 10:41 pm

"No, but, like, it's not, like, polite?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 10:42 pm

"Then we'll say you're having a bad day. You are, aren't you?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 10:45 pm

"I've had worse."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 10:46 pm

"Fair enough, but something does seem to be bothering you."

by **Trini Thompson** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 11:02 pm

"It's...like, it's nothing that, like, I'd want to bother the headmistress with..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 05, 2012 11:04 pm

"Alright. No harm in talking about things, though."

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 12:02 am

"I just thought....you know, that it'd be different here."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 12:07 am

"It's such a broad term, isn't it? This school is already rather different from a great many universities."

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 12:09 am

"I thought people here would be accepting."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 12:10 am

"All depends on what you expect them to accept. There are many different kinds of mutants here, and comfort levels vary."

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 12:29 am

"Yeah, but they should accept people being different. Otherwise, they're no different than those jerks on TV."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 12:30 am

"In spite of what you might think, we're all human after all."

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 12:31 am

"I just thought it'd be different here."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 12:33 am

"Oh come on now, spit it out," she said in a friendly tone.

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:06 am

"I got mocked back home too, but I"m trying really hard," she said, taking her hat off to wipe her eyes for a moment. "I've looked at everything I can get my hands on, and, like, England is supposed to be swarming with magic."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:07 am

Meanwhile, Victoria, chanting quietly over the crystal orb in her hand which was faintly glowing, didn't really see the two of them as she came up the path.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:07 am

"Is that what this is about? Magic?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:54 am

"And dismissive people."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:55 am

"Are they dismissing that it exists? I'm not certain many on this campus would."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 2:11 am

"Those ones are the most fun," Victoria commented. A stream of light came out of the orb, which swirled around her hand and formed into a butterfly. "Hmm..."

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 2:26 am

"The opposite.

They USED to dismiss me, saying it wasn't real.

NOW they're saying it's real, but what I do doesn't count..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 2:28 am

"...seems to be a different 'they' in this case."

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:29 pm

"It's still the same thing."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:36 pm

"More than a few of them are rather particular about what counts," she said, with a smirk over her shoulder towards Victoria.

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:44 pm

"They mock me for my hat, as if that matters. They don't mock you for your, uh, feather dress thing, do they?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:46 pm

"Not to my face, but then again I'm the headmistress."

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:50 pm

"Oh, like, yeah. It's....it's totally unique!"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:52 pm

"And it might get me made fun of in other circumstances. The question is whether I'd let it bother me, aye?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:58 pm

"Yeah, but you're already, like, THERE. You're at the top already, and, like, what does it matter?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 2:01 pm

"I wasn't always."
