I2: It's just a habit when I reach to the packet

by **Emilie** » Sun Aug 02, 2015 9:31 pm

Emilie had no idea what caused the mayhem in the cafeteria, she didn't want to know. All she knew at the moment was that she'd spent hours helping clean up the mess and was on her 'lunch' break right now, with hours more to go before they'd be completely done. She didn't normally have a lunch break, but then again she also normally didn't have to help clean syrup out of a florescent light fixture either. Or ever, really. Sooooo there's that.

Instead of eating (she'd had her 'fill' of food for the moment) she had ducked behind the building carrying her satchel. Flopping on the ground in a lotus sitting position, she dropped her satchel into her own lap as she did and flipped back the flap, digging around for a smaller bag inside it. She pulled out a vaporizer and dumped the rest of the contents into her open palm.

Shit, only three left. she thought to herself. She'd been saving them for just such an occasion. Everyone had habits to calm themselves, Emilie's was just a little dated and unhealthy. Alright, a lot unhealthy. But her health was never something that concerned her. She considered herself practically immortal when compared to others. She'd never been ill in her lifetime (at least that she could remember), only wounded and battered. Which in her mind meant a silly thing like smoking wasn't going to do her any harm.

The cartridges were from varying sources, but she knew which one had the highest concentration of nicotine from memory and about near broke her vaporizer trying to get it into the damn thing. Once she had it proper, she crammed it into her mouth to inhale. The scent emanating from the device was actually rather pleasant, though she was a bit concerned if she came back into work smelling like bourbon they might question what she'd gone and done on her break.

Oh well. She leant back against the brick wall to try and mellow.

((Open))

Tosh walked up.

"Ugh... is the cafeteria still not back open?"

by **Emilie** » Mon Aug 03, 2015 1:57 am

Emilie had dropped her heart shaped shades over her eyes before Tosh's arrival and was just in the middle of an inhale when Tosh walked up to see if he could get some food. She let the vapor out as she spoke from her crossed legged position. A reader might find a vague resemblance to the Caterpillar in her manner.

Or maybe just a pot smoking hippy for everyone else.

"Sorry man. Gonna be a bit. Someone or something fucked up the place pretty bad.

Brought up the idea of sack lunches for dinner to my coworkers, so that might be all that's on the menu."

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Mon Aug 03, 2015 2:03 am

"Damn. Know anywhere cheap but not gross in town?"

by **Emilie** » Mon Aug 03, 2015 2:04 am

"Nope. Not from around these parts. But if you don't tell all the other kids, I'd be willing to sneak in and getcha something. I just don't wanna spend my whole break doing that." She laughed.

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Mon Aug 03, 2015 4:02 pm

"You really don't want to offer that to me then," he chuckled. "I eat a lot."

by **Emilie** » Mon Aug 03, 2015 4:45 pm

Emilie laughed in return. "Well, just a little something then so you don't starve on yer way into town?" She offered again. She would feel a bit guilty sending him off empty handed.

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Mon Aug 03, 2015 6:58 pm

"Well... what's available? Scratch that, I'll actually eat just about anything. The hunger beast isn't picky."

by **Emilie** » Mon Aug 03, 2015 8:13 pm

"Haha. Alright dude. See ya on the flip. " Emilie disappeared into the cafeteria building and returned far too quickly for her to have prepared Tosh anything. She tossed him a brown paper bag containing a peanut butter and Orange marmalade sandwich, a green Apple, and a packet of 'crisps'. "Eat up."

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Mon Aug 03, 2015 8:52 pm

"Thanks," he smiled.

Aww. No meat Bro.

Gift horse. Mouth.

"I'm Tosh, by the way," he said as he opened the crisp bag.

by **Emilie** » Mon Aug 03, 2015 10:12 pm

"Emilie." She replied after another long drag. She gave him a moment to eat before continuing, just to fill the silence between them. " What brings you to the school?"

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Mon Aug 03, 2015 11:53 pm

"I went to XI. Coming here next seemed logical."

by **Emilie** » Mon Aug 03, 2015 11:59 pm

"Mmmmm." Emilie responded thoughtfully with a mouth full of smoke.

"So I take it you are on the teams then."

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 12:25 am

"I turn into an eight foot musclebound electric shark-thing, so... yeah."

by **Emilie** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 12:30 am

"Hey you never know. Maybe you're actually a really good accountant and you came to learn how to do the books for the institute. There's a lot of bread in numbers my friend." She smirked, obviously joking.

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 1:11 am

"I'd say something snarky about the 'Asians sure are good at math' stereotype, but I'm a hypertech engineering student," he smirked.

by **Emilie** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 1:13 am

"Well if you are seriously considering smashing stereotype walls for equality maybe you can give all your extra math skills to me, then I won't fail again and fulfill the girl stereotype for ' I not know how math' . " She offered jovially.

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 1:20 am

"Nah. I'm better at smashing literal walls."

by **Emilie** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 1:28 am

"Yea, me too." She offered vaguely. "Not as good as some though. I'd sure you'd outdo me. Especially when you go all Gojira and zap things. I can't do that."

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 1:51 am

"What is your power then?"

by **Emilie** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 1:58 am

Placing her vaporizer between her teeth, Emilie holds up her left hand, balling it into a fist. After a moment, a wobbly, barely visible force forms around it.

Then she does something she had not shown to the others before. It slowly changes colour into the dark smokey colour similar to the heavy tint of the windows on a celebrity's limo.

"I can make it solid instead of transparent as well, but if others can't see through it then neither can I."

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 2:04 am

"Nice," he nodded approvingly, "What's your size limit?"

by **Emilie** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 2:12 am

Again, Emilie showed rather than told, her left hand back at her smoke. Slowly it grew to engulf the both of them, but with Emilie's back to a wall that edge of it bumped up against the brickwork, molding and conforming around it like a plastic bubble. The side of her that wasn't against a wall grew out in distance of about ten feet. She held it there for a moment, then proceeded to try to push further, but it flickered and dispelled after that.

"Not far. Nobody should be moving too far away from me if they're looking for back up. Hence, why I am not trying out for teams. Don't really like peoples lives being on the line due to my own shortcomings."

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 2:49 pm

"I understand that worry completely. I'm just lucky my other side is a badass, because regular me is kind of a pussy."

by **Emilie** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 3:12 pm

Emilie kept her cringe at the harsh word entirely internal, reminding herself that it was just the modern version of 'pansy' or 'yellow'. She did decide to challenge his thinking about it however, in her normal sardonic manner.

"A pussy can take a real beating ya know. Babies the size of watermelons come out of some of them, not to mention how they get that way." she laughed.

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 3:18 pm

He blushed.

"S-sorry."

by **Emilie** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 4:53 pm

"No apologies necessary my friend." She paused to regard his blushing. "Girls are gonna loooooove you."

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 6:52 pm

"Wha?"

by **Emilie** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 8:18 pm

"Well yer smart, right? In engineering? And apparently shy too. And while ya ain't my type, you ain't bad looking either.

Yep. You'll do well here." She said with complete confidence. Mostly she said it because anyone who describes themselves as he did probably needed a self-esteem boost.

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 8:26 pm

"Being smart and shy hasn't exactly gotten me girls before," he sighed.

by **Emilie** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 10:12 pm

"That was high school, neh? This is college. Same game, New rules. Prestige stops being about who is the biggest and starts being about who makes the most money. Think like this: how many football players get laid in high school? Now how many of those same jocks go pro with their skills versus the number who barely skid through with an associates? Early peaking is a bitch bro. Better to shore up you bets with a boy who's skills are long term. "

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Tue Aug 04, 2015 11:47 pm

"You make a good point," he chuckled.

And Haley totally wanted you Bro.

by **Emilie** » Wed Aug 05, 2015 12:06 am

"All my points are awesome always." She beams a grin far too wide to be anything but genuine. "Stick around me too long and your noggin will swell up like a balloon though, ha."

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Wed Aug 05, 2015 12:15 am

"Well, take a number, I already have parents and a voice in my head for excess encouragement," he smirked.

"Shifter mental weirdness at it's best."

by **Emilie** » Wed Aug 05, 2015 12:28 am

" Alternate personalities?' She asked.

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Wed Aug 05, 2015 12:39 am

"Exactly. A more confident, albeit less intelligent, me that takes the front seat when I go all kaiju."

by **Emilie** » Wed Aug 05, 2015 12:48 am

"Well smashy smashy doesn't require a master's,i should know. I'm sure he'll do okay too." She laughed. "I must admit I am curious to see this now, but not so curious as to want to tempt what brings him around."

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Wed Aug 05, 2015 1:22 am

"Oh it's not a Hulk Rage or anything. Well, except that first time."

by **Emilie** » Wed Aug 05, 2015 1:25 am

Emilie thought about it for a moment. " Well maybe he can pretend it is like I do sometimes to get away with smashing more shit.

Opps did I say that in the outside voice? Forget I said that.

Smashing shit is aces though. I highly enjoy it when the rare opportunity comes."

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Wed Aug 05, 2015 1:33 am

"I certainly do when I'm Bruce."

He groaned.

"Err... other me calls himself Bruce. A thousand completely arbitrary points if you guess why."
