I11DT - Grabbing A Bite

by **Michael Dodgson** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 6:18 pm

Michael poked his way through the cafeteria line in a way that only veterans of cafeteria lines were capable of doing. Finally gathering his food, he picked a table and sat down, poking at the food with mild disinterest while watching the rest of the students.

Mercy makes her way through the line a bit more clumsily than Michael, due to both inexperience and her wings. She narrowly manages to keep her wings out of another girl's soup as she gets a small meal of fruit and yogurt. That accomplished, she makes her way toward the tables.

"Do you mind if I sit here?" She says to Michael, approaching his table.

by **Michael Dodgson** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 9:26 pm

"Go for it, love. Seat's all yours." He smiled at her. "Nice wings."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 9:29 pm

Mercy smiles, and stretches the aforementioned wings before she sits. "Thank you. I'm Mercy, by the way." She cuts up the apple and banana she took with very deliberate motions, a serious look on her young face.

by **Michael Dodgson** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 9:36 pm

"Michael," he said. "Nice to meet you." He watched her cut the fruit. "You take cuttin' your fruit seriously."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 9:38 pm

Mercy blushes a little. "I like the slices to be even."

by **Michael Dodgson** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 9:48 pm

"Nothin' wrong with that. Got to have order somewhere in your life, right?"

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 9:52 pm

"As many places as possible." She looks over at Michael's plate.

"What about you? I see you're going with the 'enhanced interrogations' method of keeping your food in line."

by **Michael Dodgson** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 9:58 pm

"Oh this? Well," he lowered his voice, "When you find somethin' you like, can't seem too interested in it, otherwise they might not serve it again."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 10:02 pm

Mercy takes a moment to process that one. "Um... are you sure? I honestly don't think they care enough to pay that much attention."

by **Michael Dodgson** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 10:10 pm

"Oh I'm sure. My last school, yeah? Cafeteria had this great meatloaf. One day, they served it and I told them how awesome it was. Never served it again." He nodded sagely.

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 10:13 pm

Mercy chuckles. "Well luckily, what I eat seems to be pretty unpopular."

by **Michael Dodgson** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 10:16 pm

"Nah. They gotta put that stuff out, don't they? It's all healthy and stuff."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 10:18 pm

Mercy nods. "Low carb and low calorie."

by **Michael Dodgson** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 10:20 pm

"Gotta have carbs and calories, love. Otherwise, where's the fun in food?"

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 10:24 pm

Mercy shrugs. "I have nice meals occasionally. But you can't eat like that every day."

by **Michael Dodgson** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 10:33 pm

"S'what they keep tellin' me, but it hasn't caught up to me yet." He grinned.

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 10:35 pm

Mercy winks. "Or maybe they just keep changing the meals on you for that reason."

by **Michael Dodgson** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 11:26 pm

"You're assumin' things make sense."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 11:27 pm

"That's one of my bad habits."

by **Michael Dodgson** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 11:44 pm

"You're not far off. Things do make sense most times, just not the sense you expect them to."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 11:46 pm

"Yeah, like what, for instance?"

by **Michael Dodgson** » Wed Feb 27, 2013 12:06 am

"Like Manchester United, yeah? Everyone knows them and so they must be a good football club, right?"

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Wed Feb 27, 2013 12:56 am

Mercy nods enthusiastically. "Right!"

I thought they didn't have football in England.

by **Michael Dodgson** » Wed Feb 27, 2013 8:39 am

"Wrong. They're popular because they' a bunch of tossers with money and people like tossers with money. So, it makes sense why they're popular, but not in the way you think." He tapped the side of his head and grinned.

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Wed Feb 27, 2013 1:09 pm

"Oh like the Yankees."

by **Michael Dodgson** » Wed Feb 27, 2013 1:14 pm

"From what I've heard, yeah, kind of like that. Don't know a lot about American sports though."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Wed Feb 27, 2013 1:25 pm

"I don't really follow sports, it just seemed like what people say about the Yankees."

by **Michael Dodgson** » Wed Feb 27, 2013 1:32 pm

"Only one sport really worth followin'. So you're from America?"

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Wed Feb 27, 2013 1:37 pm

Mercy nods. "Yeah, originally from California, though for a while I was at the Academy of Tomorrow."

by **Michael Dodgson** » Wed Feb 27, 2013 1:44 pm

"That's cool. Never been off the island myself. Born and raised in London... more or less."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Wed Feb 27, 2013 1:46 pm

"Yeah? What's it like? The only thing I saw of London was the airport."

by **Michael Dodgson** » Wed Feb 27, 2013 1:51 pm

"Not a bad place for the most part. Always somethin' goin' on. Not at all like bein' out here in the country."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Wed Feb 27, 2013 2:01 pm

"Mutant schools are pretty much always in the middle of nowhere though."

by **Michael Dodgson** » Wed Feb 27, 2013 2:04 pm

"For the younger students maybe. I see spendin' a lot of time in Maldon in my future."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Wed Feb 27, 2013 2:29 pm

"Do you have a car?"

by **Michael Dodgson** » Wed Feb 27, 2013 2:36 pm

"Nah, but I managed to get hold of a bike that I think'll get me there and back."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Wed Feb 27, 2013 2:38 pm

Mercy nods. "Sounds fun."

by **Michael Dodgson** » Wed Feb 27, 2013 2:40 pm

"I could just tunnel there, but I think people might object to my arrival that way and I have no idea where I'd end up tunneling after a few pints."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Wed Feb 27, 2013 2:53 pm

"Your mutant power is some kind of mole-man thing?"
