South Wing: Miranda McManus-Weaver and Maya Mills

by **Maya Mills** » Thu Oct 02, 2014 1:23 pm

Maya Mills wrote:Maya had already moved her stuff in and it was...very organized. Everything was labeled and set into very exact spaces. Her clothes in the closet were arraged by outfit and day of the week. Books, DVD's, and music were arranged by genre and alphabetically. And wherever she could, Maya had arranged everything in fours. Four pencils, four pens, and four notebooks on her desk. Four pillows on her bed.

Miranda Weaver wrote:The other side of the room was not messy by any means, but it was not as organized as Maya's. One corner had a small shrine with hand-drawn art in both Egyptian and Greek styles. The other desk had pictures of a girl with a fish mutation attached to them as well as a few pictures of the fish girl with the girl with the blindfold that they had met at the refreshment table. There were also some pictures of the Headmistress and a woman with sphinx-like qualities. The desk seemed to have art supplies on it and the desk chair was of a strange construction, possibly to accommodate wings.

Miranda was settled at her desk, leafing through something that seemed to be some sort of assignment given the distaste she was showing for it.

Maya came in and began her usual ritual of putting all of her things away. She completely unpacked her bag, put every item in its place, and sat down at her desk.

"Hello," Maya finally said to Miranda.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:00 pm

"Hello," Miranda said without turning her head. "Good day?"

by **Maya Mills** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:05 pm

"It's been fine," Maya says, careful not to say anything too positive or negative about the day. It wasn't over yet. You can't judge a day until it's over.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:07 pm

"That's good. Things can get a little crazy around here once school gets into full swing."

by **Maya Mills** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:08 pm

"I've heard rumors it can get pretty dangerous," Maya says.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:09 pm

"The X-Men and the teachers do a good job of keeping things safe," she said, studiously avoiding the validity of Maya's statement.

by **Maya Mills** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:11 pm

"Good," Maya says. She relaxes a bit. "I was...concerned."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:13 pm

"Concerned about things being unsafe?"

by **Maya Mills** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:14 pm

"Well, I mean, I'm always concerned about that," Maya says. "But I keep having nightmares that I wake up and there are, I don't know, super-villains blowing things up on the quad."

"It makes it very hard to sleep."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:22 pm

"That's no good," Miranda said, finally turning to face Maya. "Any specific super villains or just generic ones?"

by **Maya Mills** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:28 pm

"I don't know any specific super-villains," Maya says. "The more I read about that stuff, the more anxious about it I get."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:31 pm

"Might be good to stop reading about it for a while then."

by **Maya Mills** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:33 pm

"When I don't read about it I get worried that I won't know what's going to kill us."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:34 pm

"That... That sounds like a serious problem."

by **Maya Mills** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:39 pm

"It's a conundrum," Maya agrees. "You don't ever worry about that stuff? I mean, you were here a whole year, right?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:44 pm

"I worry about stuff. Not a lot of stuff mind you. Mostly stuff like not getting jokes and not fitting in."

by **Maya Mills** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:45 pm

"I think everyone worries about that," Maya points out.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:48 pm

"Kay's been helping me get over that though."

by **Maya Mills** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 7:52 pm

"Well, it's good to have someone to help you through that stuff," Maya says.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 8:12 pm

"Not sure what I would have done without her. I was really missing out on a lot when I first got here."

by **Maya Mills** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 8:15 pm

"Like what?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 8:16 pm

"Popular culture in general. The X-Men rescued me and there was all sorts of stuff I hadn't been exposed to."

by **Maya Mills** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 8:19 pm

"They...rescued you?" Maya asked, sounding confused.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 8:24 pm

She nodded, suddenly looking sheepish. "Yeah, I was... an experiment or something that this organization called Black Air put together."

by **Maya Mills** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 8:30 pm

Maya's eyes widen, "Oh my gosh."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 8:32 pm

"Yeah. It was kind of rough acclimating to being with normal people."

by **Maya Mills** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 8:43 pm

"Are you okay? Are you safe?" Maya asks. "I mean, of course you're safe...but..."

Maya looks like she's not sure what to say.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 8:48 pm

"I'm not sure what you're asking," Miranda said, tilting her head.

by **Maya Mills** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 8:57 pm

"I kind of want to hug you. Is that weird? Or condescending? I'm sorry," Maya says. "I don't know how to help someone who was experimented on."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 9:01 pm

"Hugs are fine, but really, everything's much better now."

by **Maya Mills** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 9:05 pm

Since Maya brought it up, she had to hug Miranda now. She gave the girl a quick hug and then retreated back to her own side of the room.

"Sorry. I don't like bad things happening," Maya says. "I mean, I know no one likes...ugh...it's hard to explain."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 9:14 pm

"I sort of understand. It's okay really. If I hand't been rescued and come here, I wouldn't have met my moms."

by **Maya Mills** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 9:17 pm

"Exactly," Maya says. "Even bad things can lead to good things. Sometimes."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 9:22 pm

"At the very least they can make you stronger."

by **Maya Mills** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 9:25 pm

"Or cripple you. Or put you in a coma. Or cause severe brain trauma," Maya says.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 9:34 pm

"Not likely enough to concern yourself with."

by **Maya Mills** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 10:05 pm

"I concern myself over everything," Maya says.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sun Oct 19, 2014 8:16 am

"Mom and I argue about that from time-to-time."
