Posted: 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.
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 7:05 pm"Nothing. Yet," she sulked.
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 7:06 pm"Pre-emptive strike, then?"
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 7:15 pm"I guess..."
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 7:19 pm"Well I'm sure the rock didn't know what hit it."
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 9:46 pm"I guess not..." she said, finally looking up at who was talking.
"Oh! Geez...like, sorry, headmistress."
"Oh! Geez...like, sorry, headmistress."

Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 9:47 pm"Sorry about what?"
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 10:27 pm"Um, for not...um, like, paying attention?"
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 10:28 pm"Well that's hardly a sin, is it?"
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 10:41 pm"No, but, like, it's not, like, polite?"
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 10:42 pm"Then we'll say you're having a bad day. You are, aren't you?"
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 10:45 pm"I've had worse."
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 10:46 pm"Fair enough, but something does seem to be bothering you."
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 11:02 pm"It's...like, it's nothing that, like, I'd want to bother the headmistress with..."
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 11:04 pm"Alright. No harm in talking about things, though."
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 12:02 am"I just thought....you know, that it'd be different here."
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: 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."
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 12:09 am"I thought people here would be accepting."
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: 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."
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: 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."
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 12:30 am"In spite of what you might think, we're all human after all."
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 12:31 am"I just thought it'd be different here."
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 12:33 am"Oh come on now, spit it out," she said in a friendly tone.
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: 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."

Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:07 am"Is that what this is about? Magic?"
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:54 am"And dismissive people."
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:55 am"Are they dismissing that it exists? I'm not certain many on this campus would."
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: 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..."
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: 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..."

Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 2:28 am"...seems to be a different 'they' in this case."
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:29 pm"It's still the same thing."
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: 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.
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: 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?"
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:46 pm"Not to my face, but then again I'm the headmistress."
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:50 pm"Oh, like, yeah. It's....it's totally unique!"
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: 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?"
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: 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?"
Re: I8DT: Sassafrassa mages.
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 2:01 pm"I wasn't always."
