Sept 5: XUB Two

Dave grins. "I could make it snow in South London."

"You ought to take bribes from the weather reporters to make them right more often. Or threaten to put them out of a job," Cal said with a grin.

by **David Hollifield** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 12:07 am

"I dunno, threatening the city seems more like a super villain thing."

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 12:12 am

"Yeah, the evil plan to make it sunny on a week that's supposed to have nothing but thunderstorms. We're devious here, y'know."

by **David Hollifield** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 12:16 am

"I just don't want the X-Men to go upside my head."

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 12:19 am

"Yeah, that wouldn't be too good. Making it rain won't stop big metal fists, right?"

Cal picked up another beer, then froze, frowned, and let his face go blank for a second. "So where are you from, then?"

by **David Hollifield** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 12:20 am

"Oregon, on the coast. Great place. You?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 12:33 am

"Michigan, by way of Chicago for school. Spent a little time in California at a research lab, but that wasn't very long. Didn't get out too much, either."

by **David Hollifield** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 12:37 am

"Anti mutant hate? I have some friends on the net that can't leave the house much."

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 12:50 am

"Nah... just rules. Genetic research labs don't let their guinea pigs out of the cages much, they get worried something will happen to them."

by **David Hollifield** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 12:50 am

"Dude, that sucks. Lab rats?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 12:53 am

"Eh, seemed like a sweet deal at the time. They offered my family a whole assload of money if I'd be a research subject on mutations. They said it would only be for a year, and they'd renegotiate if they still needed me after that. So we figured, 'why not'?"

He smirked. "Then they fried my brain by accident. That was why not."

by **David Hollifield** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 12:54 am

"Holy shit, are you serious? Did you sue them?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 12:57 am

"Fuck yes we sued them. My parents sued their asses off, since there was a 'non-damaging' clause in the research contract. They settled so hard that they went bankrupt fixing the damage."

"Granted, now I can download porn straight into my head during history classes, so I really don't tend to complain much."

by **David Hollifield** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:00 am

"Wild story. I don't have anything like that with my power."

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:02 am

"Yeah, well, on the downside, if I go too crazy with my power, I short out all the stuff they put in me to fix me, and I get to be a drooling lump until it reboots."

by **David Hollifield** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:04 am

"Well, yeah, that's a pretty big downside."

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 2:41 am

"Good with the bad. Might have happened to me anyway when my powers developed, now at least I got it fixed for free."

by **David Hollifield** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 2:43 am

"True enough." David finishes his beer and orders another. "You meet anybody else yet?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 2:46 am

Cal smirked and shook his head. "Nah, haven't even seen if I have a roommate yet. I just dropped my stuff off and came to toast the town."

by **David Hollifield** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 2:49 am

"Where's your room? I'm in Sydney, 240."

by **Chloe Grant** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:08 pm

Chloe walked up to the bar and ordered a beer. She was casually dressed in a t-shrt and jeans, and, in an effort to look less like Jess, had her hair pinned up.

by **David Hollifield** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:12 pm

David looks over at Chloe as she comes in. "Woah, that was fast." He picks up his beer and walks over to her.

"Hey baby, back already?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:12 pm

Cal glanced at David. "Took the words right out of my mouth," he said with a smirk.

by **Chloe Grant** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:13 pm

"Beg pardon?" Chloe said, raising an eyebrow in surprise.

by **David Hollifield** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:15 pm

David grins. "You still up for some fun? You said any time..."

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:16 pm

Cal hid his smirk by turning and picking up his beer, taking a pull from it.

by **Chloe Grant** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:17 pm

"I most certainly did not." Chloe said, too completely blindsided to figure out what is going on.

by **David Hollifield** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:20 pm

David looks back at Cal. "It's the same chick, right?" He turns to Chloe. "Are you one of those multiple personality chicks?"

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:21 pm

"Sure looks like the same chick," Cal confirmed. "Like your hair better this way, though."

by **Chloe Grant** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:24 pm

"I'm going to bloody kill her." Chloe said, realizing what had happened "That was my sister, Jess that you talked to. I'm Chloe. The one who isn't a slut."

by **Calvin Strong** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:24 pm

Cal shifted gears immediately. "Hi. I'm Cal, I just got here. Sorry about that," he said, offering his hand.

by **Chloe Grant** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:25 pm

"Chloe Grant." she said, shaking his hand.

by **David Hollifield** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:27 pm

"Oh shit, sorry Chloe. I'm David. Look, lemme make it up to you. What's your favorite weather?"

by **Chloe Grant** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:28 pm

"Light rain." Chloe said, in a tone that suggested she didn't know why he was asking the question.

by **David Hollifield** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:30 pm

"That's an easy one in London." David closes his eyes, his skin begins to darken, become more blue.

by **Chloe Grant** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:32 pm

"What are you doing?" Chloe asked curiously.

by **David Hollifield** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:34 pm

A light patter of rain begins to fall on the XUB. David opens his eyes, and grins.

"Making you some rain. I'll turn it off later if you don't want to go out in it, but it is nice to listen to from in here."

by **Chloe Grant** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:37 pm

"Wow." Chloe said, sounding impressed "You can control the weather?" she asked a bit reduntantly.

by **David Hollifield** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 1:39 pm

David smiles. "Yeah. I can do about half of London right now, but I just did the campus a second ago, I'm not sure if I'd piss people off if I did half the city."
