Golden Grahams

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as classroom space for the University. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for University students on a meal plan. The old library has been bolstered with college textbooks.

Golden Grahams

Still stinging from her embarrassing trip into town, Katarina stomped her way into the cafeteria, generally being all frowney and annoyed.

She huffed at the line for food, and stood, cross-armed, in the back of the queue.

Jezabelle was standing in line when she heard the sound of a student being grumpy, a familiar sound on any university campus though usually more so during midterms or final exams. She turned to see the, to her, unfamiliar face of the redheaded royalty.

"You can go ahead of me, if you'd like." She offered with a somewhat sympathetic smile. She didn't know what the woman's troubles were, but it couldn't hurt to offer a token gesture of kindness, right? It's not like the glasses-wearing girl couldn't spare an additional 30 seconds for her food.

Katarina peered down the long line.

"I thank you, but unless you can convince the rest of the line to do the same, I don't think that would help very much, no?"

Jez snapped her fingers in mock disappointment. "Darn, well we can scratch x-gene vision off my trading card, 'cause I clearly don't have it. I'm sure you're sick of that already though. On this campus it's not 'what classes are you taking?' that's used as an icebreaker, it's all about the super powers."

"Self-duplication. So basically I'm the best person to know if you want someone to save you a seat." Jez bit her bottom lip as she looked at the day's menu, trying to decide if she wanted to get the soup or a tabbouleh salad with her meal.

"Ah, we all see the best in others' powers and the worst of our own. Have you ever tried to juggle? Or do that thing where you pat your head with one hand and rub your belly with the other? Yeah, it's like that, but waaaaaaay more complicated. There's been more than I've realized one of me is just staring into space with her mouth agape."

"Oh I usually stick with one or two, that's when I'm at my best." Jezabelle finally reached an actual food part of the line. Shepherd's pie wasn't the fanciest of meals, but it had just about everything one could want; it was like if an Irishman tried to make lasagna.

"Maximum? Um, around twenty maybe? Though really I try to keep it around five or six at the most. Anything more than that and they start to shuffle around like zombies. My multi-tasking skills are not THAT good."
