The Breakfast Nook

by **Anita Fernandez** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 1:56 am

A quaint little restaurant, by design, not age. Still, you can get a good plate of breakfast, all day long. And other things too, of course.

Anita heads in and tells the waitress that they need a table for four.

Kelly sat at the table next to Marcus, across from Anita, and farthest away from Ryan. He ordered some water, orange juice, and oatmeal when the waitress took their orders. Remain silent mostly he let the other do the talking.

Ryan looked over the menu, then ordered a rather sizeable, high-protein meal, with sides of bacon and sausage, before handing the waitress the menu and saying to put all the orders on one tab.

by **Anita Fernandez** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 2:13 am

Anita loads up on eggs and bacon too. "Not a bad place."

by **Marcus Kingston** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 2:40 am

"Not at all. The food seems like it'll be pretty good." He mentioned after ordering some eggs and bacon himself. "So, how's every liking XU so far?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 6:33 am

"I'm liking it," Ryan said. "Past couple years at Columbia have been okay, but you don't realize how much you miss a place like this until you're back at it full time."

by **Anita Fernandez** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 10:50 am

"Oh man, are ya kiddin'? This place is perfect. Where else can ya get freakin' Wolverine as a sparrin' instructor? Plus London seems pretty cool so far, fer a big city."

Juma lags in a little behind the group, after having stopped at a newstand to grab a few international newspapers. He grabs the first free seat, not particularly caring who it is closest to or furthest from, and orders his usual breakfast options; eggs over easy with lots of meats on the side.

by **Kelly St Luc** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 11:22 am

"Juma! I'm glad you made it." I knew we should have waited longer. Kelly ignored Marcus' question becuase so far he seemed to be still be able to socially ruin himself.

by **Juma Ngomo** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 11:26 am

He smiles and waves it off, "I wanted to see what's going on around the equator anyway. Have you dried out yet, Kelly?"

by **Kelly St Luc** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 12:22 pm

Kelly looked away, "Yeah flew myself to my dorm, dried myself off, and added some cologne."

by **Anita Fernandez** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 12:28 pm

Anita grins, tucks into her eggs. "You should get my roomie ta dry you off. She can make stuff just slip right off other stuff!"

by **Marcus Kingston** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 12:56 pm

Marcus just listened to the others at the moment. Glad to hear they were enjoying the area too hear most were enjoying the area.

He looked at Juma. "So Juma. What were you up to after you graduated?"

by **Juma Ngomo** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 1:43 pm

"I went on a spirit walk, of sorts. Filled a backpack and started walking, hitchhiking, whatever, and traveled around for a while. I tried to make my way back home, but somehow the path never seemed to lead all the way there," he pauses, then shakes his head, "I am still trying to figure out what that means. I think it is a sign that I am not yet ready to help, which is why I came here."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 2:30 pm

"Well, I hope the path does take you back there," Ryan said. "In the meantime, it is good to see you here."

by **Juma Ngomo** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 2:38 pm

He smiles sincerely, "Thank you Ryan, I appreciate that. I'm looking forward to when we have more autonomy on the teams, I am very interested in returning to Uganda with friends and the ability to help make things better."

by **Marcus Kingston** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 3:13 pm

"Well, if you put your mind to it and keep trying you'll get there eventually! Maybe in time, you can save up some money and at least visit there."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 3:20 pm

Ryan looked thoughtful as he took a drink of his orange juice. "Homecomings aren't always as simple as that, though," he pointed out.

by **Juma Ngomo** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 3:35 pm

He smiles to Marcus and nods, "I am working on it, though it is hard. I may well wind up swimming down instead," he laughs. As Ryan speaks up, his expression becomes much more sober, "Yes. I do not know what has happened since I left, and I fear for the worst. I haven't seen my village appear in the news, but it never really did. I hope things are still.. okay."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 3:36 pm

"If you think you might need help when you finally do go back..." Ryan just let the statement hang. The meaning was clear enough.

by **Anita Fernandez** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 3:38 pm

"I got yer back if you do go back there, Juma."

by **Juma Ngomo** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 4:09 pm

"I will probably need the help, thanks Anita," and he flashes another warm smile. "What about the rest of you, any interesting stories since you left New York?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 4:18 pm

Ryan paused, his mind going over some of the more... 'choice' incidents of the past few years. He shook his head. "You know me... go everywhere, post all the good parts for the world to read. My life's been sort of an open book."

by **Anita Fernandez** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 4:34 pm

"I've been gettin' my butt kicked by Logan on a regular basis. Oh, and Scott let me hold the stick on the Blackbird for like ten minutes, that was pretty sweet."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 4:51 pm

Ryan smirked. "You'll have to come over sometime during vacation and have a go with my taskmasters," he teased.

by **Anita Fernandez** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 5:36 pm

"I find it hard ta believe that they're tougher than Logan."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 5:44 pm

"Depends on the training. Logan generally doesn't make you dodge arrows, he just hits you a lot."

by **Anita Fernandez** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 5:45 pm

"With claws!"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 5:49 pm

Ryan smirked. "I'm sure if he was sparring with someone he could land a hit on half the time, he wouldn't use claws."

by **Juma Ngomo** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 5:53 pm

"At least with arrows, you can usually see them coming. Logan is fast," he laughs, remembering his self-defence training back in New York."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 5:57 pm

Ryan smirked. "Seeing an arrow coming and being able to dodge it are very different things."

by **Marcus Kingston** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 5:57 pm

"I don't mind mind helping you out if you need it too Juma." He grinned while he listened to the others. He thought about his life before reaching London. It was pretty tame. He had some training but it wasn't with anyone as noteable as Logan.

"It would of been awesome training with him."

by **Anita Fernandez** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 5:57 pm

"Seriously, he's amazing. He's so fast, and so smart in a fight. Oh man, and he's STRONG." Anita's cheeks become just a little bit pink as she gushes about Logan.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 6:03 pm

"See, now you're making me wish I'd been assigned to train with him," Ryan smirked.

by **Anita Fernandez** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 6:26 pm

"Well anybody would wanna, he's just amazing!" Anita gushes on, oblivious to how obvious her infatuation is.

by **Marcus Kingston** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 6:28 pm

This was the second time Anita seemed to go on and on about Logan. "Well, I did run into him here, so he's probably part of the Faculty. Maybe he'll be teaching a self-defense course."

by **Anita Fernandez** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 6:30 pm

"I bet he could be persuaded ta help ya out even if he isn't right now. I mean, I think he's kinda bored."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 7:40 pm

"You guys with your hand-to-hand compatible powers, I'm jealous," Ryan smirked.

by **Marcus Kingston** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 7:42 pm

"I may just see about that Anita."

He grinned at Ryan. "Heh, sure. I'd much rather shoot light bolts that stunned people."

by **Anita Fernandez** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 7:44 pm

"We can't ALL be super cute ninja girls I guess." Anita winks.
