Issue 1 Downtime

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2012 7:18 pm**

Haley hopped off the small bus that had brought the group of fellow freaks from the school and out into the hot summer afternoon in Salem's downtown. She was wearing a tank top and the ridiculously short shorts that she hid whenever her parents were around, and at the moment had her face buried in her phone as per usual, her face obscured by big sunglasses.

Kay followed after her and, lacking an image inducer this time, is wearing her hoodie, almost drawn down over her face despite the heat. She's, as she has been since she decided to come, questioning her decision to do just that.

Jason got off the bus with a pair of sunglasses and a broad grin. This wasn't even the city, but it was still bigger than home.

"Relax, this is gonna be great," he said optimistically.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2012 7:53 pm**

"Yeah! Listen to Jak...Jason?" Haley chirped, looking up from her phone and finally putting it in her back pocket. "Still think you've gotta be dyin' in that hoodie though. I'm from Texas an' I think it's hotter'n hell. God damn humidity."

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2012 7:55 pm**

"Still better." she mumbles. "Don't sweat that much anyway."

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2012 8:08 pm**

"I'm pretty sure they're used to all kinds of mutants here."

He looked to Haley. "Yep! Haley right?"

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2012 8:39 pm**

"That's me!" she giggled. "Yeah," she agreed with Jason to Kay, "I mean like...were so close to school I'm sure they see us all the time,"

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2012 8:56 pm**

"Are you trying to get me back on the bus?" she mumbles, trying to joke.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2012 8:59 pm**

As if to prove Haley right, a group of kids, all obviously mutants, emerged from an alley close by. The most normal-looking of them seemed to be telling the rest of them something, then watched them all head off in different directions. Alone now, he shrugged and headed into a nearby store.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2012 9:32 pm**

"See! Mutant friendly."

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2012 10:01 pm**

"C'mon. I heard there's like an ice cream shop around here or some shit. Supposed to be really good. Let's go find it," she grinned, practically charging off down the street--with or without the rest of the group.

Paul was, currently, taking his milkshake from the lady on the other side of the counter, when the perky girl in short shorts walked in. Well now... what have we here?

Posted: **Sun Mar 11, 2012 2:19 am**

Haley practically skipped up to the counter and ordered herself a large strawberry milkshake. As she stood waiting for her frosty treat, playing with her phone, she took notice of Paul.

Helloooooo hottie.... she thought...perhaps too loudly.

Posted: **Sun Mar 11, 2012 2:20 am**

Paul seemed a bit amused when he heard that, giving her a little smirk. Hello right back.

Posted: **Sun Mar 11, 2012 2:24 am**

Haley froze and turned about five shades of red.

Fuck, fuck, fuck he heard that...and I'm sure he'll hear this to. God damn powers!

Posted: **Sun Mar 11, 2012 2:25 am**

Paul smirked a little more. And here I just thought you were trying to flirt.

Posted: **Sun Mar 11, 2012 2:32 am**

Shit. Are you a teep too, or am I just really good at hearing you she looked at him, forcing a nervous smile after grabbing her shake and fidgeting with the straw nervously.

Posted: **Sun Mar 11, 2012 2:43 am**

Me? A teep? Now that would make life interesting. You want to come over here so I can stop feeling creepy with my thoughts? He chuckled a little as he looked her over again.

Posted: **Sun Mar 11, 2012 2:47 am**

Maybe... she smirked, walking over to him while sipping her milkshake.

"So what's up? 'm Haley," she said barely pausing from her sipping of milkshake.

Posted: **Sun Mar 11, 2012 2:52 am**

"I'm Paul," he said, looking more than a little amused at the whole situation. "You know that you're cute when you're nervous, right?"

Posted: **Sun Mar 11, 2012 3:33 pm**

"Where did Haley go?" she wonders all of a sudden, apparently having missed her dashing off due to trying to figure out a way to seem as unremarkable as possible next to the rest of the group.

Posted: **Sun Mar 11, 2012 5:08 pm**

"To get ice cream I think," he said, "We should find her!"

Posted: **Sun Mar 11, 2012 5:35 pm**

Kay hesitates a moment but then she pulls herself together. "Yeah, we should. Probably not a good idea to split up."

Posted: **Sun Mar 11, 2012 6:11 pm**

"And also we should get ice cream," Jason said, leading the search.

Posted: **Mon Mar 12, 2012 9:57 am**

She chuckles faintly and follows Jason.

Paul Valmont wrote:"I'm Paul," he said, looking more than a little amused at the whole situation. "You know that you're cute when you're nervous, right?"

Haley, much to her chagrin, blushed. "You're not too hard on the eyes either," she said, trying to regain a bit of composure while she sipped her milkshake through a straw.

"Don't recognize you from school. Are you just a local mutant?"

Posted: **Mon Mar 12, 2012 7:05 pm**

Paul smirked. "What, Xavier's? Nah, I go to the Academy of Tomorrow, up in Massechussets. We just like to come sneak into town here where they're used to seeing all of you guys running around."

Posted: **Mon Mar 12, 2012 7:18 pm**

"They just let you guys come all the way here?" she asked, suddenly intrigued.

"I mean. I don't think they'd let us go visit...well wherever the hell you are," she giggled.

Posted: **Mon Mar 12, 2012 7:33 pm**

He smirked. "Well, we're mutants, right? New York might as well be right across the street from us."

Posted: **Mon Mar 12, 2012 7:45 pm**

"Oooh, can you fly or teleport or something cool?" she asked excitedly.

Posted: **Mon Mar 12, 2012 7:52 pm**

He grinned. "Something like that. Always pays to have someone that can get you anywhere, right? SO what about you, besides flirting with guys on the sly?"

Posted: **Mon Mar 12, 2012 8:24 pm**

"Well you know one. Can you guess the other?" she smirked.

Posted: **Mon Mar 12, 2012 8:36 pm**

"Hmmm, let's see," he said, looking her over. "Pheremone powers?" he asked, smiring a little.

Posted: **Mon Mar 12, 2012 8:39 pm**

"Trying to say I smell?" she smirked.

Posted: **Mon Mar 12, 2012 8:41 pm**

"Mmm, you're acting like pheremones are a bad thing," he said, smirking at her. "So... let's see... eh, I've got nothing, what else can you do?"

Posted: **Mon Mar 12, 2012 8:49 pm**

"I move shit with my mind. Isn't that supposed to be a classic combo with being a teep or something?"

Posted: **Mon Mar 12, 2012 8:51 pm**

He shrugged. "Beats me. Our headmistress is a telepath that turns into a walking diamond, so I don't really take any of that for granted, y'know? Still... you can talk without talking and touch stuff without touching them... cool," he said, with a slightly wicked grin.

Posted: **Mon Mar 12, 2012 8:56 pm**

Haley just smirked mischievously as she sipped her milkshake.

Posted: **Mon Mar 12, 2012 9:04 pm**

"So you're staying at the school, then? Or did you just drive up for the weekend to visit?" he asked casually, sipping his own shake.

Posted: **Mon Mar 12, 2012 9:17 pm**

"I'm stayin' at the school," she said. "Had a little accident at home that made my parents send me here. Not complainin' too much though"
