Meanwhile, at the "Adult Table"...

by **Natalya Romanov** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 10:04 am

Natalya was standing around answering the occasional question from the few truly concerned parents who were there for the open house. She was dressed in a dark suit and wearing a wireless earpiece. All in all, she managed to project an intimidating demeanor despite her slight build. All in all though, she still looked bored.

Near by Keahi stood shaking hands and doing her share of question answering. Since she was greeting first year parents she was wearing her image inducer. Once the crowd had thinned and the parents were milling about, Keahi made her way over to Nataliya.

"You look near frightening and official. Good job."

by **Natalya Romanov** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 2:45 pm

"Thank you. I think the parents deal with it better when they learn that scary lady is in charge of security. I think it gets the kids settled too. Hopefully it deters a few troublemakers from the outset."

by **Keahi Nimar-Davis** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 2:59 pm

"For a little while at least. The thing with trouble makers is that trouble gets bored waiting and comes to find them sometimes."

by **Natalya Romanov** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 3:01 pm

"Like filling my office with styrofoam," Natalya said, only half-frowning.

by **Keahi Nimar-Davis** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 3:18 pm

"Count yourself lucky, you're not a walking static electricity collector." She chuckled.

by **Natalya Romanov** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 3:24 pm

"I'm still not quite sure who did it, but I have a few suspects. Not that it would do much to punish them at this point."

by **Keahi Nimar-Davis** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 3:37 pm

"And it wasn't dangerous, just annoying."

by **Natalya Romanov** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 3:38 pm

"Well, the obvious punishment would have been to make them clean it up. But I was busy that day and didn't have time to leave it in that state."

by **Keahi Nimar-Davis** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 3:41 pm

"Well, if you ever need a nose, I volunteer." She chuckled.

by **Natalya Romanov** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 3:46 pm

"I'll keep that in mind. I'm sure something else will happen to my office this year."

Another member of the faculty was milling around the nearby buffet table. He too was dressed in a suit and tie, though his choice of colors was a bit more fanciful than Natalya's.

"Ooh, cocktail weenies? Classy." He enthused.

by **Natalya Romanov** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 11:01 am

"Starred chefs weren't in the budget," Natalya commented in Kevin's direction.

by **Kevin Sydney** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 11:03 am

"Oh, like I'm complaining here? I am all over finger food."

by **Natalya Romanov** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 11:12 am

"Just make sure you leave some for the guests."

by **Kevin Sydney** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 11:15 am

"Okay, okay, Mom." He smirked.

by **Natalya Romanov** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 11:17 am

Just as he was about to put one in his mouth, it turned into a flash frozen weenie-sicle. "Mom? Seriously?"

by **Kevin Sydney** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 11:18 am

He blinked, then grinned at her.

"Hey, if the minivan fits..."

by **Natalya Romanov** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 11:22 am

"I own a Smart car," she smirked.

by **Kevin Sydney** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 12:28 pm

"Oh, shut down! No room for passengers!"

"Of course that's kinda telling too, huh?"

by **Natalya Romanov** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 12:37 pm

"Get your facts straight. There's room enough for one passenger. The right kind of passenger."

by **Kevin Sydney** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 12:42 pm

"You know what? I think I have just enough dignity not to take that bait."

by **Natalya Romanov** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 12:47 pm

"Really? Will wonders never cease?" She smiled.

by **Kevin Sydney** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 12:48 pm

"Hey now, I have some impulse control," He said as he pinched the air in front of him for emphasis.

by **Natalya Romanov** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 12:51 pm

"Uh huh" was Natalya's only comment on that, though she was still smiling.

by **Kevin Sydney** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 12:53 pm

"I mean, what more 'responsible adult' cred do I need than being called Professor Sydney now?"

by **Natalya Romanov** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 12:57 pm

"Need I remind you that the likes of Logan have held that title before?"

by **Kevin Sydney** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 1:07 pm

"Oh, so you're saying that muttonchops are a requirement?" He smirked, a stereotypical Wolverine hairdo forming on his head.

by **Natalya Romanov** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 1:09 pm

She made a face, "No, just saying that the title isn't a direct correlation to responsibility."

by **Kevin Sydney** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 1:30 pm

"Oh I don't know about that," he said as his features shifted back to their normal baldness.

"Ol' Wolvy was serious as a heart attack, the times I've seen him."

by **Natalya Romanov** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 1:36 pm

"Oh, no argument there. But he also drank like a fish and smoked like a chimney. Wasn't a danger to him, but on the other hand, not really a good example to set. But this argument's getting too philosophical for me."

by **Kevin Sydney** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 1:38 pm

"Not like that's the usual complaint about me, anyhow." He grinned.

by **Natalya Romanov** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 1:50 pm

"Yeah. Silly's the word I usually hear."

by **Kevin Sydney** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 1:53 pm

"Yeah well, you lost the redhead to those limeys and Mystique's maternal instinct is frigging deceased. I'm what you get." He waggled his nonexistent eyebrows.

by **Natalya Romanov** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 1:57 pm

"Sometimes you just have to make do."

by **Kevin Sydney** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 2:12 pm

"Hey, if you ask me, and I'll concede that people rarely do, I think you traded up."

"At least I don't leave feathers everywhere."

by **Natalya Romanov** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 2:16 pm

"I won't argue that you know your stuff when it comes to shapeshifting. Besides, who gets to be a professor isn't my decision."

by **Kevin Sydney** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 2:18 pm

"Yeah, just who gets trusted to fly the jet."

"And just for the record, so I can get this in early, I am awesome at that."

by **Natalya Romanov** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 2:22 pm

"Submit an application for clearance in triplicate to my office. Oh and make sure you use black ink on the application."

by **Kevin Sydney** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 2:23 pm

"You're going to use the big red rejection stamp if I dot my I's with hearts, aren't you?"
