Shari is in the common room, the speakers she'd hooked up for the party still around and she's blasting music through them. There's some physics homework on the table, but instead of paying that any mind she's standing on the couch, jumping around and singing at the top of her lungs. "So shut! Shut your mouth, 'cause I'm not listening anyhow! I've had enough enough of you, enough to last a lifetime through!"

Shane smirked appreciatively at the exuberant display from the safety of a doorway. He appreciated the lyrics, even if the song wasn't one of his favorites. He soon began singing along anyway.

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 8:20 pm**

That seems to earn him Shari's approval and as the song fades into repetitive Nanana'ing she steps on the back of the couch and topples it over onto it's side as she holds out her hand to Shane as if she was holding a microphone.

Posted: **Fri Mar 31, 2017 8:36 pm**

Shane caught on quick and took up the imaginary microphone. He sang the next verse as if on stage, jumping and moving and taking the spontaneous goofing around seriously. Oddly, his slightly green near-black jacket wasn't moving with his antics nearly as much as it should be.

"Hehe, nice!" she cheers when the song ends.

Posted: **Sat Apr 01, 2017 8:42 pm**

He bowed and smirked, "Well if you're going to rock out, you might as well go all in, yeah?"

Posted: **Sat Apr 01, 2017 10:16 pm**

"Pff, but going all in means you risk losing something. Nothing to lose here!"

Posted: **Sat Apr 01, 2017 11:48 pm**

"Bah. A little lost dignity never hurt anyone."

Beat.

"Obviously, I'm a terrible British person."

Posted: **Sun Apr 02, 2017 5:52 am**

"Or so they say! Most British people also don't look like a shrubbery." she says so matter-of-factly it manages to not sound like an insult or joke.

Posted: **Sun Apr 02, 2017 7:26 pm**

"Most Brits can't change shape either," he added.

Posted: **Sun Apr 02, 2017 7:49 pm**

"You change shape?"

Posted: **Sun Apr 02, 2017 8:21 pm**

"Yeah. Though I'm still somewhat rubbish at it."

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 12:07 am**

"Plants are tough. Seems like you're doing alright to me."

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 12:15 am**

"It's surprisingly easy being green. Though turning green is much less pleasant."

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 12:17 am**

"Uh, w-what?" she stammers.

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 12:23 am**

"Hmm? Oh. This just happened to me recently. It hurt like bloody hell too."

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 12:25 am**

"Oh!" she laughs. "Sorry, sorry... That's awful. What happened?"

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 12:38 am**

"Beer. Car. Tree. One lifesaving secondary mutation and several months later I'm a literal vegetable. I'm coping better than I thought, though. Probably because it beats the shite out of the alternative. Plus regeneration powers are nice."

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 12:50 am**

"Lotsa things are better than being dead." she nods. Then, after a moment of deliberation she adds, "Would you have picked this if you'd had a choice?"

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 12:57 am**

"The me of that day definitely wouldn't. This me only probably wouldn't."

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 1:11 am**

"That's so weird... Who you are is who you are, no?" she says, the color of her skin and hair changing to white and red respectively. "Better to be some body than nobody, no?"

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 1:23 am**

It said a lot about how used to weird things mutants get that he barely reacted to her demonstration.

"People can change. Albeit some more... literally."

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 2:24 am**

"Yeah but you gotta embrace it. Can't be at odds with who you are, right?" she says, clearly trying to convince herself of that in the same breath.

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 2:14 pm**

"Sure you can, it's called being self-destructive. I should know," he joked.

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 3:05 pm**

"That sounds terrible..." Either she didn't get the joke or she feels some amount of pity for Shane's situation. Possibly both.

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 3:27 pm**

"Eh. Old emotional baggage I won't burden you with," he said a little more grumpily than intended. Pity wasn't something he wanted.

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 3:31 pm**

"Well alright. But everyone should feel right in their skin." she says as if she was reciting some kind of human rights charter.

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 3:50 pm**

"In a perfect world without genuinely terrible people, yes."

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 5:07 pm**

Shari seems to think that over for a moment. "Yeah... guess that's true."

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 6:58 pm**

"So can you do anything besides change colors?" he asked, changing the subject.

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 7:06 pm**

"Oh yeah, whole buncha things. Anything biological really, although some things are tougher than others. Plants are hard. They feel too rigid. Doesn't really mesh with how other things feel? Like trying to put on clothes made from cardboard."

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 7:53 pm**

"Oh, I get it. For the first week, I felt like I needed the longest massage ever."

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 8:30 pm**

"Hot steam. Although you look less wooden and more... leafy-green... so I dunno if that'd work as well."

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 8:39 pm**

"I'd rather not steam cook myself if I can help it. I'm not bloody broccoli."

Posted: **Mon Apr 03, 2017 9:25 pm**

"Well maybe don't put it that hot. But it works, really!"

Posted: **Tue Apr 04, 2017 12:04 am**

"I've never much liked saunas, but I suppose it's worth a shot. It will probably feel different anyway. The sun does."

Posted: **Tue Apr 04, 2017 12:11 am**

"Pff, how would you even know in England."

Posted: **Tue Apr 04, 2017 12:16 am**

"We have sunshine," he protested, "...sometimes."

Posted: **Tue Apr 04, 2017 2:45 pm**

"You've got like a cheap knockoff is what you got." she chuckles.

Posted: **Tue Apr 04, 2017 3:04 pm**

"Yes but what we lack in sunlight, we make up for with the best spooky fog on Earth," he joked.

Xaviers!
