I8, ZUB 1-Quiet Afternoon (OPEN)

by **James Moran** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 7:29 pm

James was nursing a scotch at a table in the corner, reading over Henry McCoy's case studies on the original Legacy Virus outbreak and wishing they'd let him smoke inside.

Guy passed by and, just before taking a seat at the next table over, backpedaled to James' table.

"Care for a study buddy? I know I hate sitting alone."

by **James Moran** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 7:41 pm

"Pull up a chair." James smiled and extended a hand. "James Moran."

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 7:54 pm

"Guy Montgomery," he smiled, returning the handshake after sitting.

by **James Moran** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 8:05 pm

James picked up on the accent. "Local?"

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 8:11 pm

"England, yes. Manchester to be precise."

"American?"

by **James Moran** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 8:13 pm

"Yeah, Baltimore. So, I guess this the obligatory question here, what's your power?"

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 8:22 pm

"Phasing," he answered before summoning a glowing wisp in his hand, "And this."

by **James Moran** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 8:52 pm

"Nice. Wish I could demonstrate without blowing something up. I do energy absorption. I can then us it for energy blasts, low grade force fields, and the part I love, flight."

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 9:04 pm

He dismissed the wisp with an unnecessary flashy hand gesture. "At least your energy powers are useful. My wisps pretty much just glow... and screw with electronics."

by **James Moran** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 9:15 pm

"Well, the flight is useful. I almost blew up my car when my powers first showed up. Though come to think of it the force field is nice when it rains..."

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 9:29 pm

"Sure beats lugging a brolly around."

by **James Moran** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 9:39 pm

"This is true. As long as people don't get weird about the slight green glow around you..."

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 1:27 pm

"Probably not as weird as they get if you walk into a room through the wall."

by **James Moran** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 4:06 pm

"Point, but hey, some people think the ghost thing is sexy." James said with a smirk.

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 4:18 pm

"Especially when pottery is involved," he smirked back.

by **James Moran** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 5:36 pm

"And here I thought I was the only one who remembered that movie."

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 6:11 pm

"There are people who don't?" he said, "Granted I'm from the city that turned it into a bloody musical."

(I'm totally not making this up.)

by **James Moran** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 6:59 pm

James snickered. "Please tell me you're kidding."

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 7:02 pm

"Well okay, it only premiered there. But still, that was a thing. It happened."

by **James Moran** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 7:14 pm

"And there weren't booze subsidies to let people forget it happened?"

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 7:25 pm

"Not enough booze in the world."

by **James Moran** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 7:53 pm

"Hmmm. This country gave us Ghost:The Musical. But it also gave us Doctor Who. I'm not sure if that quite balances out..."

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 7:58 pm

"The Doctor more than makes up for it."

by **James Moran** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 8:04 pm

"You're probably right." James said, smiling and sipping some more of his scotch. "So, what're you studying here?"

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 8:08 pm

"Stuff... and things... so not a bloody clue."

by **James Moran** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 8:13 pm

"Undeclared then?"

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 8:15 pm

"Pretty much," he answered, "And you?"

by **James Moran** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 8:22 pm

"Undeclared, but leaning towards something in genetics or political science. I don't think I hate myself enough to try a double major."

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 8:26 pm

"Well if leanings count, something history related perhaps."

by **James Moran** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 8:35 pm

"Could be interesting. Old world or last century kind of history?"

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 8:37 pm

"The more ancient the better."

by **James Moran** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 8:42 pm

"Not much for the newfangledness?"

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 8:48 pm

"No no, I love newfangledness. The distant past is simply the better mystery."

by **James Moran** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 8:49 pm

"True, true. So, what do you think of the school thus far?"

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 8:53 pm

"Exciting. I even saved a princess," he grinned, "Well, I helped anyway."

by **James Moran** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 8:58 pm

"I takeit you're on a X-team?"

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 9:08 pm

"Not yet. It was more of a 'I happened to be there' thing."

by **James Moran** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 6:30 pm

"Well, you've got me curious now. What happened?"

by **Gaius Montgomery** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 7:00 pm

"I was at the World Cup Final, hunting down a snack when those terrorists showed up. I hid at first. Then, as if a switch flipped, I leaped into action. Well... strolled sneakily... but lets say leaped, it sounds more action-ey..."

"Where was I? ... Right! I found an empty security station, located the princess, and proceeded to steal her right from under their noses."

"...didn't count on the monkey man coming through the wall after us the old-fashioned way..."
