Dude, Where's My Car?

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.

Dude, Where's My Car?

((open))

Murphy was standing inside the garage, staring at where she had parked her van. She looks heart broken.

Brigid cocks her head at the tall girl as she passes, ultimately stopping.

"...something wrong?"

"Books," Murphy says mournfully. There's a very canine whine to her voice.

"I'm Brigid, by the way."

"So where'd you last see the books? Were they for class? Someone might have mistaken them."

"I was wondering when you'd show up after I found your sister in my power control class," Steph grinned. "Hello Brigid."

"Murphy," Murphy says to Brigid. She nods at Steph, "Steph."

She crouches looking at the ground.

"Safe. In the van. Locked."

"Probably," Murphy admits. "Another one. New girl."

"Selfish. Hadn't read them yet."

Murphy clearly had her priorities in order.

Steph smiled at Brigid, "Yeah. Sorry. Senses can be handy when they aren't incredibly distracting,"

"Just don't let Murphy chew on you--hers is catching," she teased.

"I recognize the other girl...can't pin down who it is off the top of my head..."

"...can Jean drive?" she said after a beat.

"Lots of shifters," Murphy agrees. She nods at Steph. "Poorly."

"What about you?" She asks Brigid. She stares at the girl intensely, like she's studying her. It's really kind of creepy. Stop being creepy, Murphy.

"...does she have a license here?" she asked Murphy

"It's a fascinating power. Ryan and I have to really put our heads together to come up with exercises to help you get more comfortable."

"It's kind of got a shortest-path thing going on with it. It's just that the shortest path, the one I can do almost without thinking is kind of... usually violent."

"But yeah, like Miss Kaltiera said, she's been helping me with it."

"No. Namibian."

"Well. That's...great. Your sister borrowed your car and can't legally drive here," she sighed, rubbing her temples. "I'm starting to see visions of painful to complete paperwork in my future..."

They walked into the cafeteria slightly after the morning rush, but while there was still some decent food left. Steph grabbed two trays and several plates for each tray and started working her way through the line, grabbing an astonishing amount of food. "Well it's clear which member of your family got the gene for talking nonstop after several classes with your sister," she teased Murph.
