Indoor Weather
Posted: Fri Mar 23, 2018 11:41 pmWanda stretched out on one of the benches in the Sauna, basking in the heat and steam, looking incredibly relaxed for once.

Posted: Fri Mar 30, 2018 6:14 pmA much less relaxed looking Nika steps into the room and puts the towel she was wearing down on one of the benches. She just got done working out and is still pretty tense, her muscles prominent under her skin. She rolls her shoulders and sits down, giving Wanda a curt nod. "Hey."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Fri Mar 30, 2018 6:19 pmWanda glances towards Nika and then looks away. "Hello. I haven't seen you around much before. New?"
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Fri Mar 30, 2018 6:28 pm"Relatively, yes. Nika Novak, pleased to meet you." she says. She doesn't seem too concerned about modesty. It's a sauna after all and she almost seems a little confused that Wanda is avoiding looking at her as they talk.
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Fri Mar 30, 2018 6:56 pmWanda glances back in her direction and seeing that Nika doesn't seem to care, she maintains her gaze. "Wanda Johansson. I can't quite place your accent. Where are you from?"
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Fri Mar 30, 2018 7:35 pm"Symkaria born and raised. You?"
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Fri Mar 30, 2018 7:47 pm"Sweden. Some deep family roots there. I've never been to Symkaria. What's it like there?"
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2018 2:48 am"Difficult, I believe is the polite term. But there's plenty to be proud of if you know where to look. The people don't have much, but they cherish what they do. The country still exists, that alone speaks for our tenacity." she smirks slightly.
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2018 3:30 amWanda seems to wrack her brain and then says, "It's next door to Latveria, right? I can see how that would cause a lot of difficulties."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2018 4:41 am"There's a lot of tension, which makes for lots of opinions on how things should be handled."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2018 3:35 pm“I imagine there’s as many opinions there as there are opinions on how mutant issues in general should be handled.”
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2018 5:13 pm"Just about. But mutants are generally treated well. It's a small country and there's only few of us but our power makes us valuable."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2018 5:25 pm"What is it you do? If you don't mind me asking that is."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2018 1:29 am"I'm a bodyguard. I'm here accompanying Katarina Karkov to ensure her safety."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2018 10:32 pm"I would imagine that's a difficult job. Of course, here you have the X-Men to back you up."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2018 7:06 pm"It'd be easier if she wasn't determined to make it difficult." she says with a tone of vaguely amused exasperation. "But yes, this place does appear to be safer than most schools."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2018 7:34 pm"I think once someone gets a bodyguard, it's a little natural to rebel against that a little, even if they know the bodyguard's necessary," Wanda says with a small chuckle.
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2018 7:42 pm"Can't blame her, no. Her duty's more important than her personal life and she didn't get a say in that."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2018 8:02 pm"Yeah, it's rough when that happens," Wanda says, obviously holding back a little. "Not much to do but deal with the situation as it stands though."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2018 9:13 pm"Well, I'm pretty sure most people would still trade places with her given the chance."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2018 2:45 am“Perhaps,” Wanda muses. “Some people here are quite in love with their own circumstances, whether they’d admit it or not.”
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2018 4:11 pm"Nobody here is most people." she says with a dry chuckle.
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2018 4:46 pm“Very true,” Wanda nods. “How are you finding being in the UK?”
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2018 6:15 pm"I haven't seen much of it yet, to be honest. Life seems... easier here?" she says, sounding like that's not necessarily a good thing.
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2018 6:25 pm"Define 'easier'," Wanda says, "Because I think our definitions of 'easy' may not mesh."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2018 7:15 pm"May be a language thing. I don't mean as in having enough food, shelter or anything. Just more... coddled?"
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2018 7:17 pm"It's possible. Some of the people who came here came from places that are unsafe for mutants like Russia or the United States, so the university tries to provide them a sort of haven if possible. At least, that's the theory at any rate."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2018 9:10 pm"Oh here is different. I thought we were talking about the UK in general."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2018 2:41 pm"Oh, yes. I don't know that I'd classify them as coddled. More... reserved."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2018 5:28 pm"It's not a bad thing if you can afford it, I suppose."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2018 6:33 pm"In most places, 'affording it' does make things quite a bit easier."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2018 6:48 pm"Well, there's some things money can't buy."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2018 6:54 pm"Peace of mind and all that," she says, waving a hand lazily in the air. A cloud of steam begins to gather and swirl in response.
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2018 8:19 pm"They do say Scandinavians know how to enjoy a sauna, but this is new."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2018 10:36 pm"You know how people talk about the acoustics of a location? Well, the 'weather' in here is quite unique and a lot of fun to practice with with my abilities."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2018 4:48 am"Huh. Must be interesting to be that aware of your surroundings."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2018 5:07 am“Interesting at times. It can get a little overwhelming sometimes.”
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2018 3:59 pm"I'd imagine. You can't turn it off?"
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2018 4:16 pm"I've done a lot of work to be able to ignore it. There's a lot of interactions though and it can be kind of easy to get lost in them. In here, things are more contained, there's fewer variables."
Re: Indoor Weather
Posted: Wed Apr 11, 2018 5:38 pm"A whole nother kind of relaxing."
