A Thread for Breakfast

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.

A Thread for Breakfast

((open thread))

A bit early in the morning, Emily headed into the cafeteria for breakfast. She got a plate of fruit, some toast, and a cup of coffee from the line and then headed to a random table to sit down.

Brigid for her part seems to have a big day planned. She's already seated with a loaded down tray that's fairly heavy on meat, though eggs and toast are present.

She's wasting no time in getting into it, as well.

Vertie moved through the line, she was being more restrained in her choices. She smiled at Brigid as she made her way over. "Morn'. How ya doing?"

"Hey," she says with a sheepish smile between bites.

"Sorry for the other night. Just... stuff, you know?"

Haley looked like she hadn't slept well in days and mumbled something unintelligible to the table as she sat down with her breakfast.

"Not really...stupid burnt cookies and homework morning runs..." she mumbled.

Haley looked like she'd gotten punched in the jaw, but tried poorly to cover it with makeup, and her left arm was covered in a bandage.

"Told ya'll so." She snitched a sausage link from Brigid's plate. "The winner's crown getting too heavy?" She teased Haley.

Brigid curls a lip as Vertie snatches food from her plate, her wolf rearing up for a moment before she restrains herself. It almost seems... bigger?

"...get your own," she says, playing it off.

"Well. She decked me, but that was after I said some shit that was honestly kind of out of line..." she said, thinking back.

"Her psychic avatar looked kinda crazy. Like she'd been out in the woods or was a stabby hobo. That was weird."

"Why?"

Haley at this point had a mouthful of cereal, and was regarding Brigid's reaction curiously.

"It's just a couple scratches," she said through her mouthful of cereal, "you okay Brig?"

Haley swallowed her cereal, quirking her eyebrow at Brigid.

"Just fell with a glass mixing bowl in my arms, sorta landed on it. Bled like crazy, and hurts like a bitch, but nothing like. Weird. Why the hell would she scratch me?"

"I don't know. She's been acting strange lately," Brigid hedges.

She looks at Brigid. "...Either she is very or annoying or this school is very violent."

Haley shrugged at both Brigid and the girl she didn't recognize, "'Kay"

She shoveled another several mouthfuls of cereal."

"Also, what the fuck is with all the wolves howling at night lately? That ain't helping the sleep much either."

"Well, that is obviously appropriate an appropriate response then," Emily says. "I am surprised you were so reserved honestly. You would have been completely justified in breaking both of her legs is a boy was involved."

"Because teenage romances are always solved by brutal violence," Emily says. "It is practically a cliche."

It was possible she wasn't being very sincere.

"Yes, Haley. You are nearly an adult. It is time to engage in strict monogamy," Emily says.

"...Never mind the fact that I haven't done anything with either one? Neither of them has even gone on a date with me. Or *asked* me on a date."

Haley looked genuinely confused. "So I guess I flirted with Graham, but...I didn't know anyone liked him?"
