Move-In - Day 1! (open thread)

by **Alex Carpenter** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 5:52 pm

Classes didn't start yet, of course, but with all of the various specialized classes that the Xavier's students needed, the student move-in date came a bit earlier than some schools.

Alex looked at the pile of boxes in the back of the SUV. His mother had, of course, parked and then run off to take care of paperwork, tuition, and all that other garbage that she loved and he hated. Not that he really expected anything else. He glanced at the avatar standing next to him, then shrugged as he started grabbing boxes out of the back of the SUV and carrying them up, the Avatar doing the same (only with heavier items). Three trips, tops. I hope. Oh who am I kidding, I packed too much crap.

"You're going to need more blue guys," Brigid quipped, a bag slung over her shoulder. "Or Tommy's sister."

"I think there's a guy-code against that last one," Alex said, grinning as he saw Brigid. "Good to be back?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 9:23 pm

"Eh, not too fun yet but it's early."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 9:24 pm

"Well, we'll have to fix that, right? Besides... there are people here. That's enough for me for a start." He shoved open his door, dropping the box he was carrying inside and letting the avatar pull it farther into the room. "You get all your stuff in? Or are you still unloading?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 12:33 pm

"I didn't bring a lot. I ah... well, you don't accumulate too much stuff there."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 10:41 pm

"Oh," Alex said. "Oh, duh. Yeah," he sighed, shaking his head. "Well, that just gives excuses for shopping trips, right?" he added, smirking.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 10:41 pm

"You bet. As soon as I find Theresa."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 10:45 pm

"Ahhh, that's right, we're back in the thick of things, so you can afford to be choosier about who you're seen in public with," he teased.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 10:47 pm

"I need someone with an eye for clothes, and I know what you'd pick," she smirked.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 10:48 pm

"Some would say that that makes it a valid suggestion," he countered.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 10:51 pm

"I'm not going to wear anything animal print."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 10:56 pm

He froze a minute. "Okay, now you do know that I was joking when I was saying that stuff, right?" he said, giving her a look.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 11:00 pm

"Sorry, sorry..." She said with a faint blush.

"I just figured... well, if Theresa picks embarrassing stuff, you can have an 'I told you so,' alright?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 11:05 pm

"Now come on. I might joke some, and sure I might get a gag gift here and there, but if I'm going to tell you something looks good on you, it's going to be because it looks good on you. Have a little faith in me not really being a dick, okay?" he chuckled, nudging her with an elbow as they headed down the hall.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 11:10 pm

"Yeah, there's just stuff that looks good on me, and... er... stuff that looks good on me."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 11:12 pm

He looked at her curiously. "What's the difference? I think you segued into speaking Girl, and I'm not exactly fluent yet."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 11:13 pm

"Well you know, like... date clothes."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 11:25 pm

"Oh, so we're talking good and impressively good," he teased. "Well, or something like that. I don't think you've got much problem impressing."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 11:40 pm

"I'm just saying, it'd be awkward to pick with a guy along. At least at first."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 11:50 pm

"Right, right, point taken," he said. "I'm just used to being bored as hell and grabbing onto any 'something to do with people' I can get by now."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 11:56 pm

"What, you're not going to hang out with that Hawaiian guy?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 12:06 am

"Hell, I'd forgotten about him. And I'm sure we're not going to be hard up for things to do. Plenty of people here, right?" Wonder what Dana's up to...

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 12:41 pm

"Yeah, but I bet you're gonna find out you're rooming with him, now."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 4:29 pm

"Maybe," he admitted. "Ah, well, who knows. I'll find out later, I've spent too much time sitting around in a room to just sit in my dorm and wait," he said, smirking.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 5:08 pm

"Yeah, that never works in movies."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 5:17 pm

"Probably not. But if this was a movie, we'd be on our second car chase by now."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 5:20 pm

"I think you watch different movies than me," she stuck her tongue out.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 5:32 pm

"Okay, then by your movies, what should be happening now?" he asked, smirking back at her.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 5:42 pm

"Well let's see, you'd probably be falling for some mousy looking girl, let's say Dana, who we find out is ridiculously pretty if she just stands up straight and makes eye contact."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 5:51 pm

"Yeah, I don't see Dana learning to make good eye contact, so that must just be a movie thing," Alex said, smirking.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 5:53 pm

"It's always the ones you least suspect."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 5:56 pm

"We'd need more spontaneous coordinated dancing, too."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 6:00 pm

"Oh geez, this is gonna be a musical?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 6:01 pm

"Teen movies always have dances, I thought."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 6:03 pm

"Yeah, but at dances."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 6:24 pm

"Well, how can we keep this from being a musical, then?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 6:34 pm

"It means you have to wait until Homecoming," she smirked.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 7:21 pm

"Well, that's how we'll know if this place is a musical. If it's not, then there'll be some weird crisis that makes Homecoming get cancelled."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 23, 2012 12:34 pm

"No, no, that's just an opportunity to save Homecoming through a whacky scheme," she nodded knowingly.
