Room 106 - Proper Procedures

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Mon Jan 16, 2017 10:55 pm

It's a rare sight to see the headmistress in the dorms, but today she's there, walking down the hallway until she gets to room 106 and knocks on the door, a rhythmically precise series of five raps.

"That's not the proper pattern for 'shave and a haircut'. Try it again, but adagio con brio."

Ashlie opens the door and steps inside. If the occupants were being sassy then it was save to assume they were wearing pants.

"Well then. I suppose you are the Cam Beckett." she notes at the occupant who is clearly not Tosh.

"No, I'm just a Cam Beckett. We come in six-packs."

"I would hope not. It appears Muir had enough trouble corralling one of you. They were rather agitated when they noticed your absence." she says, her voice free of any judgement. Unusual maybe, after his time at Muir.

"They get agitated over the smallest things. Literally, in some cases. I did apologize, but I'm sure the bed will return to it's original size after a reasonable period of time."

"It's their stated goal is to teach control. Restraint, in some cases. I am surprised they were this frustrated by your premature departure. You seem to have found your accommodations just fine."

by **Cam Beckett** » Mon Jan 16, 2017 11:24 pm

"'Just fine' does seem to be an appropriate qualifier, though I was hoping for the ocean view and a balcony. Four out of five stars on TripAdvisor.

You would be?" he asked, finally turning around to look at ASHLIE.

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Mon Jan 16, 2017 11:35 pm

"I would be the Headmistress, Ashlie Minamida and I'm afraid all students have to share the same dormitories."

by **Cam Beckett** » Mon Jan 16, 2017 11:36 pm

"It's OK, Ashlie, there's no need to be afraid. It's just a building.

You're the one Muir called, huh? Funny, I would have expected you to be taller."

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Mon Jan 16, 2017 11:56 pm

"Based on what precisely? Regardless, I have some paperwork you need to fill out. I emailed it to your student email, which you should have access to as of... right now."

by **Cam Beckett** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 12:06 am

"Really? Paperwork? What sort of paperwork?" he said, dubiously.

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 12:18 am

"Just your usual college admission. And a couple legal things that let me sort out things such as shrunken furniture or similar results. I also have to advise you that experimenting in the dorm rooms is generally frowned upon." she says, though she doesn't seem like she has any interest in enforcing that anytime soon.

by **Cam Beckett** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 12:20 am

"Funny, I thought college was the perfect time for experimentation. That's what it says in all the brochures."

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 1:10 am

"Not in the ones we send to the parents at least." Ashlie deadpans.

by **Cam Beckett** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 1:18 am

"Yeah, didn't have much parental supervision at Muir, so I guess I got the good brochures. You know, the ones with "go to Xaviers or stay locked up" written on them. The gold leaf was a nice touch."

"I have little influence on how Muir presents my offers. But I feel confident that you're going to find what we have to offer enticing enough once you've had a chance to take a look around. I have no desire to see your potential wasted."

by **Cam Beckett** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 1:42 am

"And what 'potential' would that be? I'm sure you've gone over the records Muir sent you, yes?"

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 1:57 am

"I have indeed. While they had a number of colorful things to say about your attitude, they were descriptive enough in their evaluation of your capabilities. You built devices that stretch the feasibility of Physics. The applications are literally endless."

by **Cam Beckett** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 2:00 am

"Well, physics has a habit of kicking back when you're not looking. I'm not sure I have any devices currently working as intended!

...That reminds me, you need to install stronger windows," he said, gesturing to the glass which had one of Tosh's posters re-located in front of a rather noticeable hole.

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 2:07 am

"Note to self, increase the maintenance budget. And the fact that they aren't working as intended yet is why I talk about potential and not accomplishments."

by **Cam Beckett** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 2:11 am

"They do work as intended! Just for very brief windows of time.

If you ignore the fourth dimension, I'm pretty much the most successful scientist in the history of history."

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 2:13 am

"Please do not attempt to build a device that freezes time."

by **Cam Beckett** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 2:17 am

"I can't be blamed for where my research takes me! You can't put limitations on the future."

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 2:21 am

"No, but I am responsible for the well-being of the school and it's students. And no preserving them in chrono-stasis does not technically count as safe." she preempts the obvious response.

by **Cam Beckett** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 2:23 am

"You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.

I shall attempt to cause no permanent harm to any of your students, however," he begrudgingly added.

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 2:37 am

"Much appreciated. Some broken eggs..." she says, glancing over at the window, "...I will have to tolerate."

by **Cam Beckett** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 2:39 am

"You're different. Why aren't you more suspicious?" Cam asked, suspicious.

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 3:01 am

"I see no benefit to discouraging you from your experiments as long as they aren't too disruptive. Should I be suspicious?"

by **Cam Beckett** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 3:03 am

"In general, no. I find things go much smoother when everyone just trusts one another."

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 3:32 am

"Great. Welcome to Xavier's University then. Though you could have just let us know you were coming sooner than expected."

by **Cam Beckett** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 3:35 am

"You might have called Muir..." he said, dropping, for a moment, the over-confident act.

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 3:45 am

"They informed us you left. That does not necessarily mean you were on your way here."

by **Cam Beckett** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 3:54 am

"Well, you might have sent me back if you had known I was here."

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 4:10 am

"I try not to be that pedantic."

by **Cam Beckett** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 4:14 am

"People say they try to be lots of things. Usually they're a bunch of phonies."

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 4:40 am

"I'm not exactly like most people." she says with an enigmatic smirk as she turns to leave.

by **Cam Beckett** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 5:04 am

"We'll see about that! With data and everything!

...I'll get that paperwork turned in. Shortly."

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 5:07 am

"Splendid. I shall leave you to your work."

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Thu Jan 19, 2017 4:05 pm

"You do realize his work involves keeping me awake all night and systematically destroying everything I own," Tosh said, having come down the hall just in time to hear the end of the conversation.
