Two young women were walking through the breakfast line. Only one of them had a tray though. The trayless one had wings and kept putting things on the tray of other. It seemed to be a sampling of everything and once they'd made it through the line, the winged one sat down at a table and the other set the tray in front of her. Then the other young woman just disappeared, leaving the winged one to her breakfast.

((Open))

"Neat trick," a nearby redhead says, her own tray already loaded.

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 5:29 pm**

"It has its moments," she said with a smile, "Miranda." She stuck out her hand.

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 5:32 pm**

"Won't fool everyone, though. Only one mind."

She sets her tray down to shake Miranda's hand.

"I'm Sam."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 5:38 pm**

"Feel free to take a seat." Miranda said as a copy of Sam moved to stand next to real Sam. "So you can tell she's not real?"

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 5:42 pm**

"Aye, but not with my eyes," she says, taking a seat. Unseen but perhaps perceptible to Miranda, an astral raven descends, then pokes its beak at the construct momentarily.

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 5:48 pm**

The construct sat down next to her, waving its hand at where the raven would conceptually be. "Oh, you've got the mind thing going on."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 5:54 pm**

"Like I said, even if it looks real, there's only one mind controlling it."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 6:01 pm**

"I guess I'm lucky I haven't needed to fool someone who can tell that." The image disappeared and Miranda focused on her food again for a moment. "So, Irish?"

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 6:10 pm**

"What gave me away?" She asks with a smirk, taking a bite of her eggs.

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 6:15 pm**

"Flamin' red hair, bit of an accent. Nothing big." She grinned.

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 6:19 pm**

"I suppose I should be less conspicuous, then." She says, her hair fading to mousy brown.

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 6:22 pm**

"Now, I'm a little jealous," she said, reaching out to poke Sam's hair. "I've just got these things." Her wings rustled slightly.

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 6:25 pm**

Her hair brightens back to its normal ginger as Miranda pokes it.

"Wings are good. Everyone on this bloody campus wishes they could fly."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 6:26 pm**

"So do I, but not really had a chance to do it. Not a lot of good places to practice in Birmingham that won't end up splattering you on the street if you make a mistake."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 6:28 pm**

"Pretty good here. Plenty of open ground, or there's the Danger Room if you want to play it safe."

"...which sounds strange to say it out loud."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 6:31 pm**

"There are certainly words in that phrase that don't agree with each other. Maybe I'll get a chance while I'm here to learn how to use them. Mum has never tried to use hers to fly, maybe I can try mine."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 6:37 pm**

"Ah, I guess there were no surprises when yours came in."

"Or were you a little greeting card baby?"

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 6:40 pm**

"Greeting card baby. The other stuff didn't come along until later. Mum hated buying clothes for me. Thankfully the ladies she worked with were good at alterations."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 6:51 pm**

"Well, they came out rather pretty at least."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 6:54 pm**

"Thank you. Quite the price to pay for their looks though. Molting is bloody irritating."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 7:05 pm**

"There's an awful lot of ways to be fabulous on this campus, but all of them are fussy in different ways."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 7:08 pm**

"I'll settle for 'okay'. No need to look fabulous."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 7:34 pm**

"There's other folks with wings on campus. Maybe pick up a few tips?"

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 7:38 pm**

"No, you misunderstand. Fabulous is for when you *want* people to look at you. I'd just settle for looking a little less 'thrift store'."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 7:41 pm**

"Well I don't mean to alarm you, but a nice pair of wings is always a bit attention-drawing."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 7:50 pm**

"Oh, I'm aware. Mum used that to her advantage all the time."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 9:28 pm**

"So you know, do what you like. Everyone else is."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 9:42 pm**

"Doing what I like is not something I've ever had a problem with unless money or other people get in the way."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 10:22 pm**

"Felt worth saying, aye? Not everyone's used to that."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 10:32 pm**

"No, I appreciate it. We're all given a lot of garbage by all sorts of people for our appearance and abilities. Might as well own the 'you do you'."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 11:24 pm**

"And it's cool, you know? Like some things still weird people out, but it's a lot less stressful."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 11:30 pm**

"It takes a lot to weird me out. I grew up around quite a few mutant exotic dancers."

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 11:34 pm**

"...oh. Exotic like... oh."

She reddens a bit.

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 11:37 pm**

"That's one of the two most common reactions," she said with a laugh.

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 11:44 pm**

"Well, I mean... not that there's anything wrong with that!"

Posted: **Thu Mar 31, 2016 11:48 pm**

"Ooo," Miranda said, mimicking marking something on the table. "Come on, one more and I win 'my mom was a stripper' bingo." Her sense indicated that she was just teasing.

Posted: **Fri Apr 01, 2016 12:08 am**

"It's just... you know, not what I was expecting."

"But I didn't get out much before I came here."

Posted: **Fri Apr 01, 2016 12:16 am**

"What *were* you expecting? Out of sheer curiosity."

Posted: **Fri Apr 01, 2016 12:23 am**

"To be honest, I'm not really sure what."

Xaviers!
