I7DT: Such A Nice Girl

by **Cassandra Reyes** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 12:16 am

Carrying her bags, Cassie got out of the taxi and headed out onto the quad, heading for Sydney Hall.

by **Tala Davis** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 2:45 pm

Heading out of Sydney Hall was Tala with Ren on her pink leash.

"Hi! You new too?"

by **Cassandra Reyes** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:07 pm

"Oh, hey," Cassie says, "Yeah. It's my first day."

by **Tala Davis** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:27 pm

"Welcome, need a hand with anything?" She asked as Ren ducked politely into a hedge.

by **Cassandra Reyes** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:40 pm

"Nah, I got this," Cassie says, "...Cute fox."

"You mean you finally convinced your parents to let you go across the ocean without them?" Stephanie called out cheerfully from across the sidewalk. She was walking towards them.

"Hi, Tala!" she smiled, "Hi...you must be new too," she held out her hand, "Stephanie."

by **Cassandra Reyes** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 12:12 am

Cassie keeps her hands at her sides.

"...Cassie."

"...It's nice to meet you."

by **Tala Davis** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 12:35 am

"FINALLY! I have a clouded leopard up in my room as protection against lecherous men and women." She chuckled. "I swear my Dad wanted me to keep a grizzly bear!"

Tala tilted her head at Cassie, "Power issue?"

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 12:38 am

If Stephanie had an issue with the non-shaking of hands going on, she didn't show it. She smiled and withdrew her hand politely.

"Well, I guess we know what will be inside that huge crate that'll be coming on your birthday, no?" she smirked at Tala.

by **Cassandra Reyes** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 12:41 am

"No, I just don't like shaking hands," Cassie snaps suddenly at Tala, "Is that alright?"

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 12:46 am

Stephanie's eyes widened a bit at the reaction, and she glanced quickly over at Tala, and then back.

Yikes...

by **Tala Davis** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 12:50 am

"Lord, I hope not, there's no room." She smiled at Steph.

She smiled and shrugged, "To each their own, I have a large predator for a roommate, who am I to judge you if you don't like to shake hands or if you turn to pudding when touched."

by **Cassandra Reyes** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 12:54 am

This seems to satisfy Cassie. She grows much less visibly tense and looks away from the girl.

"Thanks."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 1:02 am

"So..." she said, trying to break the awkward pause, "Where are you from, Cassie?"

by **Cassandra Reyes** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 1:08 am

"Vancouver," Cassie says, "The one in Washington. Not the other one."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 1:17 am

"Oh, I didn't even know there was one in Washington. Neat. Did you stick it out through normal high school or go to...the one outside of Chicago? I'm from around there myself."

by **Cassandra Reyes** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 1:35 am

"Yeah, I went to the Academy of Tomorrow," Cassie says with a shrug, "It wasn't bad."

by **Tala Davis** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 10:38 am

"So far this place is nice, a little damp. XI Grad here, than an extra year or so of tense negotiations with my parents." She smiled.

"Once again, welcome."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 4:11 pm

"I think you'll meet a few former classmates here...can't rememberr off the top of my head who from the States went there and weren't home-schooled or something," she said.

She turned to Tala, "I think that you'll love it here. It's really a neat place, there's a lot of good professors, quite a few familiar faces, a lot of good food, and guys with hot accents."

by **Tala Davis** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 4:37 pm

"Yeah, met one of those earlier, good and curious, open and actually talkative. Taken though." She shrugged and smiled.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 4:58 pm

"The beauty of college, even a crazy mutant one, is that you have a whole lot more options to choose from. Being in a big city certainly doesn't hurt, either," she smiled. "I'm sort of seeing a really nice guy from Hong Kong right now."

by **Tala Davis** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 5:03 pm

"Brave boy. I take it he knows about the "Grrr"." She made a claw with her hand and raked it in Steph's direction.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 5:12 pm

"I was on the quad running around in wolf form, went over to him after he had a bit of a power mishap with some grass he was trying to grow, and he pet me like a dog. I think I scared the poor boy half to death when I shifted and actually said hello," she laughed.

by **Tala Davis** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 5:27 pm

"That and suddenly having a nude girl in front of them, usually makes a guy's brain fritz out. They don't always transition well from "Aww, puppy." to " Ooo, boobies."" She chuckled.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 8:24 pm

"Fortunately for him, I was wearing some shifting-safe undergarments," she smirked.

by **Tala Davis** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 8:45 pm

"Ahh, I see, planned ahead, good move, keep the mystery of the naughty lady parts." She chuckled as Ren stepped out of the hedge, looking less anxious.

by **Cassandra Reyes** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 8:53 pm

Cassie steps away from the two, heading towards the entrance to Sydney.

by **Tala Davis** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 9:04 pm

"Oh! Sorry, here we are yammering on." Tala moved quickly and opened the door for Cassie.

"Didn't mean to make you feel unwanted, really, sorry."

by **Cassandra Reyes** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 9:17 pm

"Don't apologize," Cassie says, "It's annoying."

by **Tala Davis** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 9:20 pm

"Only when it isn't sincere. I have an even more annoying habit, I'm honest to a fault. I truly am sorry for making feel unwelcome, it was not my intention to do so." She smiled.

by **Cassandra Reyes** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 9:31 pm

Cassie's hand tightens around her bag. There's a blast of wind around her as her abilities activate and her bag goes hurtling across campus.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Cassie yells, "Making me feel unwelcome? You've done nothing but act like the damn welcoming committee since we met! I'm the one who should be apologizing!"

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 9:46 pm

Stephanie's jaw literally dropped at the exchange and outburst.

"I...are you alright?" she asked, nearly speechless.

by **Cassandra Reyes** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 9:56 pm

"No, I'm pissed off," Cassie snaps at Stephanie, "Where do you get off just letting people walk over you? Don't you have any self-respect?"

With a yell of frustration, Cassie turns away from Steph and Tala and punches the wall. Hard.

"...Sorry," Cassie says quietly after a moment, taking a deep breath. She actually looks rather embarrassed.

by **Tala Davis** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 10:06 pm

Tala smiled. "I grew up with a werewolf for a father, a literal cat woman for a mother and a large black panther for a twin brother. Both Stepanie and I have wild animals in our heads that at times, like to dictate our action, staying calm and in control is one of the very first lessons we learned. My manners are for your safety, not because I am doormat."

Tala winked, "You are forgiven. I didn't know any one here, I just now learned that Steph is here. I'm not completely alone anymore. I am a social creature, I need a pack, friends. I was trying to be yours. Is your hand alright?" She looked truly concerned.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 10:11 pm

"it's called being polite," she sputtered, still shocked, restraining herself from literally growling at her.

Thankfully, the far more restrained Tala stepped in. Steph kept her mouth shut.

by **Cassandra Reyes** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 10:13 pm

"It's fine, thanks," Cassie mumbles, "It doesn't even really hurt or anything."

"I didn't mean to make assumptions about you," Cassie says, "I just get annoyed when people let me get away with acting like a jerk because I shout and lose my temper all the time."

by **Tala Davis** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 10:24 pm

"Sometimes people are all bark and no bite...I grew up in a family that's both. Well, if you want friends, we're willing. As I said, I tend to be honest to a fault, if you want someone to tell when you're being a jerk butt, I can do that." She chuckled.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 10:43 pm

I thought we had temper issues... she said to her other half.

" We all get angry...it's okay," she said quietly.

by **Cassandra Reyes** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 1:04 am

"It's not okay," Cassie says, "But still..."

"So you're both ferals?" Cassie asks.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 1:13 am

"Yep. Her mom actually helped teach me a lot at XI. I came into the shifting game a little bit late. Between her, and Professor McManus, who's actually running the university here now, I got my other half reasonably under control.
