Located directly adjacent to the Rec Center is the Student Union building, housing a well-stocked bar and arcade, billiards and an open area with couches and coffee tables.

The Hour's Getting Late

Postby Shari » Mon Jan 02, 2017 1:29 am

Shari let's herself get lead to the XUB, gladly letting Tereza assume she's a new student who hasn't had a chance to familiarize herself with the place yet. It let's her gawk around as they move through the grounds while feeling relatively safe with the company of an actual student legitimizing her presence. Everything here is fancier than what she's used to, even the bar. So new and only mildly sullied by drunken antics but still sticking to a style that doesn't clash entirely with the mansion. Apparently wood was how money manifested itself in the architecture here. Not that easy to steal, but maybe they have some fancy drinks at the bar. Some super old whiskey or something stashed in the back. But for now she gladly let's Tereza take the lead (and the bill) as she orders a burger and a sprite. She's briefly tempted to try for a beer, but getting carded for a non-existent ID would be s sure-fire way to get herself outed as a fraud.

"I'm not too picky when it comes to food." she says, an honest sentence somehow slipping through. "Sides, burgers are even harder to mess up than curry."

"I don't mind curry now and then, but burgers are good." Tereza says, munching on her size able burger with ease.

"Plus, if you know where to go you get a huge bowl for only a couple Quids." she goes on, once again tacking an unnecessary 's' to the end of Quid.

"Just a matter of spending time there, I guess. You can't help but find the hidden places. And knowing who to ask. No guy in a suit is gonna know the best place to eat cheap curry. But the hipster working bike-delivery between banks will."

"Oh! I think I've heard that name. Somebody who... mentioned..." she trails off for a moment. Now that she was thinking about it, didn't she hear that name in the context of, well, fencing stolen goods? "Oh yeah, appliance repair! That was it!" she tries to recover. Better not give people the idea that she hangs with those kinds of circles. Then again, Tereza is claiming she's her friend and that didn't really seem like it fits into Shari's world-view at all. "How do you know her?" she tries to shift the focus on Tereza before it has a chance to get turned on her.

"So what happens when some human supremacist assholes start in on someone in Mutant Town and everyone decides to look out for themselves first?" The tone isn't accusatory, in fact it seems more curious than anything else.

"A lot of people don't have 'combat' powers. Or know what to do in a fight. Someone starts throwing bottles and people start running away. Did you see the demonstrations? Maybe a dozen people actively fought back and they got arrested for their trouble."

Then enjoy continuing to be prey. Tereza regards her for a long moment, munching on a french fry as she thinks. "Fair enough. I'm just saying that if everyone waits until they have an advantageous position to step up and do something, then things will never get better."
