Room 118: Antigonish

"You don't like me?" she said, her lips quivering slightly. "I'm...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel like a creep! That's not what I meant to do at all!

Oh fudge. I've mucked this all up, haven't I?" she said, frowning. "This wasn't my intention at all, and now you must think I'm...I'm...I don't even know what," she sighed.

"No, no, no," Alex says. "It's not that I don't like you, but I don't know anything about you."

"Besides. I think this was probably all my fault anyway. So, you shouldn't feel bad at all."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Feb 08, 2017 12:29 am

"No! Don't think this is your fault. I'm the one with the problems here, not you...I'm sorry!" she said, quickly. "I just draw in from creative people faster than most."

"I'm really not creative," Alex says, blushing. She had no mechanism for dealing with compliments. Or, y'know, general social interactions.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Feb 08, 2017 2:40 am

"Everyone's a little bit creative. Trust me..."

by **Alex Kincaid** » Wed Feb 08, 2017 3:07 am

"More important than that, are you alright?" Alex says. "I mean, it can't be easy on you to always be...changing like that."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Feb 08, 2017 4:06 am

"It's...it's just sort of normal? I mean, it's been that way all my life.

It's like...like saying are you alright? Gravity's pulling on you all the time..."

by **Alex Kincaid** » Wed Feb 08, 2017 5:45 am

"It does get a little exhausting from time to time," Alex jokes.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Feb 08, 2017 10:20 pm

"I'm just saying...this is normal for me. Don't...don't worry too much about what happens."

by **Alex Kincaid** » Fri Feb 10, 2017 7:41 am

"I'll try not to worry," Alex says. "But it's sort of my thing."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Feb 10, 2017 8:13 am

"You have the super-power of worrying? Can you, like, worry open a hole in time and space?"

by **Alex Kincaid** » Sat Feb 11, 2017 1:08 am

"Not yet, but I'll probably get there sooner or later."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Feb 11, 2017 2:01 am

"That's...impressive? I guess? I mean, it's more than I can do with my telepathy."

by **Alex Kincaid** » Sat Feb 11, 2017 4:49 am

Alex smiles, "I was joking."

"Mostly I'm just strong. Though not as much lately."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Feb 11, 2017 7:43 pm

"Why not as much? Is it seasonal?"

by **Alex Kincaid** » Sat Feb 11, 2017 9:16 pm

"No, it's...I get stronger the more people like me," Alex says. "And around here, no one really knows me."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Feb 11, 2017 9:51 pm

"Oh! Well, that's probably temporary, right?"

by **Alex Kincaid** » Sat Feb 11, 2017 10:02 pm

"Well, I mean, I guess it all depends," Alex says, nervously. "Everyone so far has been really nice, so...maybe?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Feb 11, 2017 11:27 pm

"And then, what, you'll be able to bench-press the dorms?"

by **Alex Kincaid** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 12:12 am

"Oh, gosh, I hope not," Alex says. "But, I mean, I don't know? Maybe?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 12:51 am

"Oh gosh, that could be a problem. But I bet they have lots of things designed for being used by super-strong people, so you don't break them."

by **Alex Kincaid** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 1:20 am

"Well, that's comforting at least," Alex says. "My other option is to just avoid making friend, I guess."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 2:57 am

"Oh gosh, that would be horrible. I mean, you'd have to, like, go around punching people or something so they wouldn't like you."

by **Alex Kincaid** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 5:44 am

"Maybe I could find a good middle ground," Alex says. "Spend half the day being nice, half the day punching people."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 7:49 pm

"Have to balance that carefully -- if you get TOO liked, punching people would hurt!"

by **Alex Kincaid** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 9:06 pm

"Also, punching people is tricky," Alex points out. "You might punch someone everyone hates. Or someone might like getting punched."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 9:37 pm

"This plan just has more and more pitfalls the more we look at it. Maybe a different plan is needed."

by **Alex Kincaid** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 11:38 pm

"My original plan was just to be a crazy cat lady that no one knows," Alex says.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Feb 13, 2017 2:19 am

"Do the cats not count?"

by **Alex Kincaid** » Mon Feb 13, 2017 8:15 pm

"I don't think cats have emotions in the same way people do," Alex says.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Feb 13, 2017 8:40 pm

"Oh. Well, that's kinda sad, in and of itself."

by **Alex Kincaid** » Tue Feb 14, 2017 5:27 am

"They seem to deal with it okay," Alex says.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Feb 14, 2017 7:57 am

"Well, if you want to bring a cat in, you totally can. I'm not allergic or anything, so far that I know.

I'm also technically not here, which helps."

by **Alex Kincaid** » Thu Feb 16, 2017 4:22 pm

"That's sweet," Alex says. "But I'm not sure the school would like it if I turned the room into a cat sanctuary."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Feb 16, 2017 8:42 pm

"You can claim it's your secondary mutation!"

by **Alex Kincaid** » Fri Feb 17, 2017 11:48 pm

"No, I'm pretty sure my secondary mutation is embarrassing myself," Alex jokes.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Feb 18, 2017 3:05 am

"Well...then...first mutant ever with a tertiary mutation!"

by **Alex Kincaid** » Sun Feb 19, 2017 12:56 am

Alex laughs, "Sounds like a plan, I suppose."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Feb 20, 2017 2:54 am

"I'm sure they'll buy it for two, maybe even three seconds!"
