-A cute girl appears on screen! She's all smiles and bright and happy to finally be settled into... what appears to be the boy's dorm, from the look outside the window. Huh. Well, she has a cute British accent, too. Sounds like she might be from somewhere pretty damn posh, in spite of the seemingly casual way of speaking...-

Oh, hey! My phone can do video! Hoo... um... first post and all. What pressure, right? Anyways, name's Bridget Halford, and I guess we're all a lot of them x-gene types, eh? Cool, cool... um...

So, like, you don't have to say it if you don't want to BUT, but... um... I'm interested to know how everyone got here. For me, well, y'see... I kind of ran away from home. Spent some time roaming Europe, ran into a bloke with lightning bolts comin' out his hands, and he pointed Professor Xavier's way.

So what about y'all? -End transmission.-

I guess that's a way of looking at it. Thank you, either way.

[upatbat]

Right!

[And with that out of the way:]

I'm Aki, by the way.

[kickstart_my_heart]

It's a pleasure to meetcha, Aki!

[upatbat]

Thanks! It's nice to meet you, too, Bridget.

[kickstart_my_heart]

Odd question, but... do you yoyo?

[upatbat]

Um, I did as a kid, but I haven't in a long time... Why?

[kickstart_my_heart]

Would you be interested in getting back into it?

[upatbat]

[She'd never really thought of it before, but considering who's offering... Well. Maybe she should give it a try, after all.]

Why not? It might be more fun, now that I'm bigger.

[kickstart_my_heart]

I can teach you all kinds of tricks!

... Well, not all of them. Some of them depend on my powers.

[upatbat]

That sounds pretty fun, actually.

[He's won her over, now, and she's giggling.]

You're good at yoyoing, right? Don't make me look too bad, okay?

[kickstart_my_heart]

's not about making anyone look bad. It's about having fun!

[upatbat]

Yeah, but that's not going to stop me from being bad at it when I try it after being a decade out of practice!

[Her laugh at it is good-natured and not really worried, though.]

[kickstart_my_heart]

Don't worry. I'll make sure it's fun, at least, even if you do mess up.

[upatbat]

Well... If you're going to make a promise like that, I'll have to trust you on it. So, I'll see you then?

[kickstart_my_heart]

Absolutely! And you'll definitely learn at least one trick before we're done.

[upatbat]

It'll be something to aim for, at least. I'll give it my best!
