June 14th: Breakfast

by **Claire McKenna** » Sun Sep 18, 2011 2:36 am

Claire grabbed some cereal and juice from the mess and headed to a random table to sit and eat.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Sun Sep 18, 2011 7:45 pm

Guy, who happened to be at said random table, looked up from his substantially more complicated breakfast at the newcomer.

"Morning."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sun Sep 18, 2011 8:19 pm

"Morning," Claire says in return. No harm in being polite.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Sun Sep 18, 2011 8:28 pm

"I'd ask if you were new, but then I'm quite new myself."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sun Sep 18, 2011 8:33 pm

"Nah, I've been here the whole semester. Mostly in the infirmary," Claire says, "I'm studying nursing here. What about you?"

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Sun Sep 18, 2011 8:48 pm

"I'm strongly considering History as a major. I've always found it fascinating. That and I'm probably going to give the teams a whirl."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sun Sep 18, 2011 8:49 pm

"Then I'll probably be seeing you around plenty," Claire says.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Sun Sep 18, 2011 8:56 pm

"Probably. Though my phasing powers are better suited for a stealth role, I imagine combat is an inevitability."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sun Sep 18, 2011 9:09 pm

"Seems to be that way for most the people in the teams anyway," Claire says.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Mon Sep 19, 2011 1:45 pm

"At least I have self-defense training... granted, I never thought I'd need to use it."

by **Claire McKenna** » Tue Sep 20, 2011 12:06 am

"Then why'd you take it?"

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Tue Sep 20, 2011 11:27 am

"Because I went to the My-Rich-Parents-Are-Seriously-Overprotective School to teach me how to beat up kidnappers or something. But to be honest, The Warfield was much more interesting than any other school I'd been in."

by **Claire McKenna** » Tue Sep 20, 2011 9:11 pm

"Warfield?"

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Tue Sep 20, 2011 9:18 pm

"An expensive British boarding school where they teach everything from economics to how to handle a gun. And self-discipline supposedly, but I must have slept through that one."

by **Claire McKenna** » Tue Sep 20, 2011 9:20 pm

"Sounds like a very thorough education," Claire says.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Tue Sep 20, 2011 9:29 pm

"Extremely thorough," he answered. "So where did you spend your teen years?"

by **Claire McKenna** » Tue Sep 20, 2011 9:35 pm

"Until I was sixteen, I pretty much was locked up in my parents house," Claire says, "I finished out school at the Xavier Institute."

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Wed Sep 21, 2011 1:06 pm

Locked up? Eesh, what is bloody wrong with parents.

"Really? What was the Institute like?"

by **Claire McKenna** » Wed Sep 21, 2011 11:49 pm

"Busy," Claire says, "Lot's of odd people. Friendly place though."

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Thu Sep 22, 2011 1:13 pm

"Crowded busy or 'Oh God not another supervillain' busy?"

by **Claire McKenna** » Thu Sep 22, 2011 9:16 pm

"The latter, really," Claire says, "Every other damn week it seemed like someone was wrecking the school."

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Thu Sep 22, 2011 9:39 pm

"This place carries the proud Xavier tradition well then," he said, "Quite the place to learn medicine. No shortage of patients I'd imagine."

by **Claire McKenna** » Thu Sep 22, 2011 9:49 pm

"It's definitely a good place to learn about trauma," Claire says.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Fri Sep 23, 2011 12:56 pm

"About how to treat it anyway," he agreed.

by **Claire McKenna** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 12:09 am

"What are you studying?"

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 1:46 pm

"Other than History and assorted essentials? Acting."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 1:53 pm

"Useful," Claire says dryly.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 2:01 pm

"I hope to offset that uselessness with good old-fashion villain thrashing," he smirked. "Besides, the acting is more of a hobby than a career aspiration."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 5:24 pm

"I'm not sure being a superhero is a great career aspiration either," Claire points out.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 5:35 pm

"Not at all," he agreed, "Neither is historian for that matter."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 5:56 pm

"Sounds like you have a lot on your plate."

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:10 pm

No, it sounds like I have no bloody idea what I'm doing with my life.

"Overachiever. That's me in a nutshell," he chuckled.

by **Claire McKenna** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:18 pm

"If it works for you," Claire says with a shrug.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:25 pm

"If I knew what worked for me, I wouldn't be juggling options."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:35 pm

"So, what's wrong?" Claire asks, "Scared to commit?"

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:39 pm

"Too many years in boarding school being groomed for a career I never wanted, and possibly."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:43 pm

"Get over it," Claire says, "You're an adult now. And if you stand still, you'll just end up having your choices made for you."

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:53 pm

"Oh I have no intention of standing still. I'm merely finding my direction."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 7:02 pm

"Ah. So you're just spending a year 'finding yourself'," Claire says, "I gotcha."

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 7:05 pm

"Pretty much," he said, "The name's Guy, by the way."
