Xaviers!

Tereza had returned to her job behind the bar, because there was always plenty to do and clean and restock and serve customers and... and... She didn't much care as long as she was expending the energy.

((Open))

Diego looked around in teenage wonder as he softly padded into the room on feline legs, the tail sticking out of his khaki shorts swaying gently in appreciation.

"Whaaat? They do have a campus bar! Ooh hoo hoo this place... is... awesome!" he whooped with an excited grin.

College was going to be the best thing ever. He just knew it. And he'd show everyone back home the kind of awesome guy they drove away.

"Welcome to Xavier's," Tereza says, "what can I get you?"

Posted: **Thu Sep 15, 2016 12:38 am**

He eyed the display bottles behind the bar, pretending to look like an expert, as he walked over to the bar. "I'll... haaave... beer?"

Posted: **Thu Sep 15, 2016 1:02 am**

"Good choice," she says to him, serving up a glass of beer. "New?"

Posted: **Thu Sep 15, 2016 1:31 am**

"Fresh off the boat," he answered with a nod, "Well, okay, the plane." He picked up the beer but just looked at it as if this was a trap of some kind and his grandmother was hiding somewhere with a wooden spoon, primed for head bopping.

"The drinking police don't come in unless you make an ass of yourself."

Posted: **Thu Sep 15, 2016 2:30 pm**

"Right," he said before raising the glass, "Bottom's up then." He took a big swallow and suppressed a grimace before coughing. "Wow," he chuckled, "Either my taste buds changed with everything else or I forgot beer was so bitter."

"Yet I want more," he added, sipping his drink.

Posted: **Thu Sep 15, 2016 2:34 pm**

"A common problem among new drinkers," she laughs, "My name's Tereza."

Posted: **Thu Sep 15, 2016 2:41 pm**

"Diego Zapata. Friends call me Doctor Z. Well, they don't, but they should."

Posted: **Thu Sep 15, 2016 2:54 pm**

"Maybe once you've earned a doctorate," she says with a chuckle. "Adjusting to the new place?"

Posted: **Thu Sep 15, 2016 3:13 pm**

"Hell yeah. This place is friggen sweet. College at a superhero mansion? Yes please."

Posted: **Thu Sep 15, 2016 3:49 pm**

"Did you go to the Institute?" She picks up a glass and begins polishing it.

Posted: **Thu Sep 15, 2016 4:07 pm**

"Don't I wish," he chuckled ruefully, "Would've been nice not finding fish in my locker."

Posted: **Thu Sep 15, 2016 4:33 pm**

Tereza makes a face, "That sucks, but not an uncommon story around here."

Posted: **Thu Sep 15, 2016 6:58 pm**

"The 'rents wanted to try continuing as normally as possible. It didn't work out. But it could be worse right? I mean, my family didn't disown me or anything."

Posted: **Thu Sep 15, 2016 7:10 pm**

"Yes, that's good at least," she nods, "Family's a rough thing to deal with sometimes."

Posted: **Thu Sep 15, 2016 7:58 pm**

"Yeah," he agreed. "So, uhh... you know anything about the hero teams?"

Posted: **Thu Sep 15, 2016 8:02 pm**

"On them," she says, "So I know a bit. What do you want to know?"

Posted: **Fri Sep 16, 2016 12:12 am**

"Oh! Awesome! Is joining hard? Or is it a heavy hitters only deal?"

Posted: **Fri Sep 16, 2016 12:13 am**

"There's some training, yeah, but mostly the first step is really wanting to do it, or that's sort of what Miss Kinney told me when I signed up."

Posted: **Fri Sep 16, 2016 12:22 am**

"Well I was planning to go into law enforcement before I went all mrowr. Protecting people is kinda the family business. So if I can't do that the traditional way anymore, this feels right."

Posted: **Fri Sep 16, 2016 12:38 am**

"We do what we can," she says. "Everyone has their own reasons for doing it. Yours is as good as any other."

Posted: **Fri Sep 16, 2016 12:55 am**

He took another sip. "So... what's your power anyway?"

Posted: **Fri Sep 16, 2016 1:01 am**

She gestures and her hand coats in ice, the ice shifting through several different textures before it washes off onto the bar where it forms an amorphous humanoid figure. She hands the figure the glass she's been polishing and it trots off to put it away. "Cryokinetic is the official term, I believe."

Posted: **Fri Sep 16, 2016 1:31 am**

His eyes seemed to enlarge and sparkle with awe. "Oh. My. God. That's so cool!"

"Ha! Sorry. Accidental pun."

Posted: **Fri Sep 16, 2016 1:55 am**

"No worries, I'm used to them," she says. "I go by Glacier when I'm working with the X-Men."

Posted: **Fri Sep 16, 2016 3:11 pm**

"Nice," he nodded appreciatively, "I'm thinking Ocelotl. Those Aztec warrior guys that dressed up like jaguars."

Posted: **Fri Sep 16, 2016 4:08 pm**

"Certainly wouldn't be the most unusual mutant name around here. We've got a Sphinx and a Morrigan and all sorts."

Posted: **Fri Sep 16, 2016 4:18 pm**

"Sphinx? So, like a winged cat mutant? I feel so robbed right now."

Posted: **Fri Sep 16, 2016 4:24 pm**

"More than enough room in the world for multiple cat mutations. It's all about being your own brand of awesome."

Posted: **Fri Sep 16, 2016 4:29 pm**

"I'm a cat, of course I think I'm awesome," he smirked.

Posted: **Sat Sep 17, 2016 12:57 pm**

"I'm sure Miss Kinney will temper that notion during training."

Posted: **Sat Sep 17, 2016 8:55 pm**

"So she's a hard-ass is she?"

Posted: **Sat Sep 17, 2016 10:09 pm**

"She's a bad-ass is what she is."

Posted: **Sat Sep 17, 2016 11:52 pm**

"Does she slow-walk away from explosions? Please say yes."

Posted: **Sun Sep 18, 2016 2:25 am**

"Not that I'm aware of," she says, "Usually she just kicks ass and maybe takes names."

Posted: **Sun Sep 18, 2016 4:27 pm**

"Also an acceptable cliché," he chuckled. "Can't wait to meet her."

Posted: **Sat Sep 24, 2016 12:00 am**

"Please tell me you're talking about me." Nailah says as she slides onto a seat at the bar, smirking.

Posted: **Sat Sep 24, 2016 12:11 am**

"Unless you're Miss Kinney, then," he began as he turned his head towards Nailah. "Whoa! Sphinx! We were earlier and I'm super jealous because oh my God your wings are so cool! and I'm rambling hi I'm Diego and I want your wings whoah that came out weird," he said excitedly without taking a breath until the end.

Xaviers!
