We will of course be back in an hour

After a short bit, Dee walked up with Terra to the restaurant in question.

"Here we are. Stomach still rumbling?"

by **Terra Miller** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 7:10 pm

"A little more now actually," Terra said. "But flying always makes me hungry."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 7:17 pm

"It's a lesser vice, I suppose," she chuckled and led the way in.

by **Terra Miller** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 7:29 pm

"People tell me I should eat less. Those people usually get a cold stare."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 7:38 pm

"As well they should. You don't look like you overeat," she said as they were seated.

by **Terra Miller** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 7:49 pm

"Thank you. People are dumb, what can I say?" She shrugged.

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 7:50 pm

"Preaching to the choir, on that one."

by **Terra Miller** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 8:02 pm

"So what's best here?"

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 8:20 pm

"I've rather liked the wonton noodles, the times I've been here."

by **Terra Miller** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 8:39 pm

"That does sound good. So, any unwritten rules I should know about working there?"

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 8:46 pm

"Honestly I'd say the hardest thing you'll have adjusting to is the honest to god superhero shite the campus gets mixed up in."

"I had an easier time of it because I'd worked for Wisdom's spook squad, but the ones that studied under Xavier don't even bat an eye at it. I think the faculty that come from more... mundane backgrounds get a bit of culture shock."

"How you cope with that is your own affair. No two seem to quite manage the same. Some of the reactions are... well, a bit unique."

by **Terra Miller** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 8:59 pm

"Such as?" Terra asked after placing her order.

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 9:05 pm

"I doubt Weaver was prepared for it, honestly."

by **Terra Miller** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 9:08 pm

"How did she react? Wouldn't want to repeat someone's act, you know."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 9:10 pm

"Well I doubt she quite intended to end up our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, but here we are. I'll be over here with my hard sciences, thank-you-very-much."

by **Terra Miller** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 9:15 pm

"Can I join you? I've heard rumors enough to decide that's not really my thing."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 9:18 pm

"Oh, it's quite nice in the workshop. Things never speak blasphemies in dead languages, or weep blood."

by **Terra Miller** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 9:25 pm

"That sounds like a good place to be then. Give me a good big marker board and I'll be happy."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 9:42 pm

"And we've those aplenty, so that's settled."

by **Terra Miller** » Thu Jan 10, 2013 10:15 pm

"For my part, I promise not to make things drift around the workshop."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 12:00 am

"We don't want to get into power-related pranks," she smirked.

by **Terra Miller** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 8:41 am

"That would be bad. I could imagine escalation gets out of hand quickly."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 12:02 pm

"Exactly. Leave that to the students."

by **Terra Miller** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 12:12 pm

"So what is there to do around here when you're not in the workshop?"

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 1:33 pm

"To be honest, that's mostly how I let off steam. Always have. Machines are comforting to me."

by **Terra Miller** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 1:41 pm

"Not a people person or just like machines more?" She leaned back in her chair, altering her tone to be more curious and less gregarious. "If that's not rude to ask."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 2:05 pm

"Tended to retreat into it quite a bit when I was younger. I've a knack for it, and it's soothing. Part of why they didn't figure out I was a mutant until later in life."

by **Terra Miller** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 2:24 pm

"I retreated a bit myself when my abilities and their side effects started showing up. Eventually got around it, but it wasn't easy."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 2:39 pm

"In my case, they just started to wonder why I was so good at this shite."

by **Terra Miller** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 2:45 pm

"Well, if you're modifying Stark tech, then you must be really good at it," she said with a chuckle. "I can see why they'd start to wonder."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 2:51 pm

"Catching Stark's eye came a bit after that," she smirked.

by **Terra Miller** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 2:54 pm

"Yeah, but even to get to that point, you'd have to be really good before hand is all I'm saying."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:11 pm

"Oh, I'm not trying to be modest at all," she chuckled.

by **Terra Miller** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:15 pm

"So noted," Terra said with a chuckle.

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:16 pm

"Comes a point when you're allowed to be a bit proud of your work."

by **Terra Miller** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:19 pm

"I'll have to see this work sometime so that I can be properly impressed."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:38 pm

"At least you can fly. That makes showing off a bit easier."

by **Terra Miller** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:46 pm

"I consider it just payment for years of having objects orbit around me and putting up with 'mass' jokes."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:54 pm

"And it means this can go beyond 'Oh that's shiny, what does it do?'"

by **Terra Miller** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 3:59 pm

"Quite. And let me tell you, fooling around with a fundamental tenant of physics really adjusts one's perspective."
