Sept 2nd - Dining Hall

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as additional housing and classroom space for the Institute. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for both the Institute and those University students on a meal plan. Student reactions have been mixed, and reports of paranormal activity are as of yet unsubstantiated.

"What are you yelling at her for? She's not from here, you know." Jennifer says as she slowly walks over, stopping briefly to look down when her shoes soak through with water.

"Even in this place the innocent can become dangerous." The sword stayed in her back as the waters began to build around Vivienne's body, forming armor, her own eyes glowing and her skin taking on a blue-green hue. "You do not understand. I can not be separated from my Caledfwlch, just as you can not be separated from your....wolf, or your wings. It is not a "thing" to be placed on a shelf to me."

As if to prove a point, Ryan's wings evaporated into motes of light. "I'm going to be completely blunt here: I don't care what it is to you. All I care is what it is, and that's a sword. And we don't just allow people to carry weapons around here, particularly not people prone to jumping and pointing them at children. We have an entire world trying to make us out to be dangerous weapons, how is it going to help us to have someone waving a sword around? It's not. So we aren't going to allow it. You want to prove yourself as a 'champion'? Start by not trying to undermine the authority in the place you're trying to lay your head."

"This will not be forgotten." Vivienne's eyes narrowed at Ryan's "trick" before she brought her focus to Stephanie. "So be it." She said as she drew Caledfwlch and slammed it into the ground between herself and the two. Her armor melted from her body and the excess water pulled away from everyone else, leaving them all dry, but Ryan and reformed around the sword, encasing it. "I am..unarmed. None need to fear Caledfwlch."

"Ow..." Graham groaned, rubbing his ears. When he noticed Steph wolfing out, he sat bolt upright and out of instinct flipped himself over the bench to hide.

"It would have been pretty pointless if this got forgotten." Ryan reached out to take the sword.

Steph's demeanor softened considerably once the sword was in the ground, and her eyes shifted back to their normal brown hue. "Thank you..." she said softly.

She regarded Graham, "It's okay. I wouldn't hurt you."

As Ryan reached for the hilt the water crept up attempting to covered it and the hilt. The water remained fluid, but it was arctic cold. More then a few seconds and he would begin to experience the first indications of cold damage. "I said it was mine and mine alone. It will remain until I reclaim it." She turned to Paul. "I acted rashly, forgive me. I never meant to frighten, or threaten, a fellow student of this school." She curtsied and stepped to Stephanie. "I will retire to my chambers until you deem me sufficiently chastised."

"We'll speak with the headmistress and she or I or all of us will discuss this later." Steph nodded at vivienne

Barbara peeked her head out the door again, now that most of the fuss seemed to be over.

Ryan, meanwhile, seemed to be silently counting to ten for some reason.

"I would expect nothing less." She said with a bow to Stephanie before she turned and began heading back to her room.

Ryan glanced around at the crowd, still looking irritated. "Everyone go finish your lunch before class starts."

"The Headmistress knew about her. I saw her coming out of the building with her. So I'm trying to figure out why this bullshit was allowed. Oh, and I'm kind of seething at this 'I'm going to pull a trick so that you can't take the sword and I can pick it up when you're not looking crap," he said, his voice lowered.

"We'll talk it over with Sam and see what's going on. If she's really fey, they're supposed to be people of their word."

She squeezed his shoulder, "breathe, Ry, you're going to pull something if you stay this tense."

Ryan took a deep breath. "Yeah, sorry. Thanks. Just... jumpy. Some crazy chick just pointed a sword at one of our kids and doesn't seem to understand that that's a really big freaking deal."

"I know. It took a lot of restraint to not just wolf out and tackle her. But we resolved it, and will get even more resolution once we talk with Sam."
