May 28 - You call this food?

Val stood in the line behind an international dining station, giving most of it a dubious look.

And Mira was in line behind her.

"Do you know what this...'Chungdi Jhola' is? Or 'kedgeree?' And what's a 'paella'?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Jun 01, 2011 1:35 am

"You've never had paella?!"

by **Valdis Hallsdottir** » Wed Jun 01, 2011 1:37 am

"Um....no." She didn't seem fazed by how badly she had apparently pronounced it, though.

"What is it like?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Jun 01, 2011 1:47 am

"Like rice and meat and things!"

by **Valdis Hallsdottir** » Wed Jun 01, 2011 2:00 am

She still didn't seem too sure about it, but compared to most of the other things set out, at least she sort of knew what this was.

"I guess I shall take some pie-ay-yah," she told the server. "Thank you for your assistance," she said to Mira.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Jun 01, 2011 2:31 am

"Oh, it is of no problem at all."

by **Valdis Hallsdottir** » Wed Jun 01, 2011 8:53 pm

"Would you mind sitting with me? I haven't met anyone here yet." Direct, to the point.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Jun 02, 2011 2:32 pm

"Oh, it would be no problem at all!"

by **Valdis Hallsdottir** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 3:30 am

"Great! My name is Val. Actually, it's Valdis Hallsdottir, but a friend told me to introduce myself as Val. It rolls off of English tongues better or something," she said, shrugging.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 1:44 pm

<"Well, my tongue is not English"> she said in Icelandic, smiling.

by **Valdis Hallsdottir** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 11:34 pm

"<Wait, you are Icelandic? No, you spoke English with more of a Romance accent.>"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 11:44 pm

<"No, no, I am Spanish.">

by **Valdis Hallsdottir** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 11:53 pm

"<I doubt Icelandic is a language very many people go about trying to learn. Oh, are you a telepath, that's probably it.>"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 11:55 pm

<"I am, yes,"> she said, deciding to leave it at that.

by **Valdis Hallsdottir** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 12:03 am

"I've never been around very many mutants, besides my father. This is going to take some getting used to."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 12:11 am

"It's really not that hard!"

by **Valdis Hallsdottir** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 12:14 am

"Nothing is too hard for me," she replied, confidently. "Not if I really throw myself into it."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 12:45 am

"Good! Good attitude!

Altamira, by the way."

by **Valdis Hallsdottir** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 1:01 am

"It is a pleasure to meet you. Tell me, what is your reason for attending this school? Aside just from being a mutant, of course."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 1:32 am

"Oh, I wanted to see the world! This is a different PART ofthe world."

by **Valdis Hallsdottir** » Sun Jun 05, 2011 11:20 pm

She considered that for a moment. "Seeing the world can be a calling, I suppose. Especially if you put it to good use later."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 1:54 am

"Exactly my point!"

by **Valdis Hallsdottir** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:51 pm

She smiled. "Do you know anyone in the X-Team program, Altamira?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 9:02 pm

"A couple people, yes! I'm kinda of a reserve member, kind of."

by **Valdis Hallsdottir** » Tue Jun 07, 2011 11:45 pm

"Terrific! That's what I'm really here for."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Jun 07, 2011 11:46 pm

"Really?!"

by **Valdis Hallsdottir** » Tue Jun 07, 2011 11:56 pm

"Yes! It's my calling," she replied, with absolute conviction.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Jun 08, 2011 12:20 am

"Oh, it's amazing to have a calling, isn't it?"

by **Valdis Hallsdottir** » Wed Jun 08, 2011 12:42 am

She took a bite with clam and rice. "Yes it is! Hm....this paella stuff is actually pretty good. I like seafood." She still stumbled over the word a bit.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Jun 08, 2011 12:44 am

"You've come to hte wrong place, then," she laughed. "London is not known for it's cuisine."

by **Valdis Hallsdottir** » Wed Jun 08, 2011 12:57 am

"My father told me the same," she replied, grinning. "There is apparently at least once Icelandic restaurant here, though. I thought there would be more, you know? I mean, this is London! And Icelandic food is delicious! But at least there's one place I can go for a taste of home."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Jun 08, 2011 1:21 am

"And where is that?"

by **Valdis Hallsdottir** » Wed Jun 08, 2011 1:37 am

"It's called Texture. It's in some place called Mayfair."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Jun 08, 2011 2:48 am

"Oooh, fancy."

by **Valdis Hallsdottir** » Thu Jun 09, 2011 11:33 pm

"Really? It's fancy?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Jun 09, 2011 11:47 pm

"It's upscale, yes."

by **Valdis Hallsdottir** » Fri Jun 10, 2011 12:37 am

"Great. I hope I don't have to take out a loan to have some food from home once in a while."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Jun 10, 2011 1:03 am

"Well, it shouldn't be THAT bad."
