Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2016 2:43 pmOne of his window phasing tricks seemed to startle a young woman who was looking at things in the window display from the inside of the store. She looked around to see if anyone else was seeing him, but everyone was paying attention to other things. "Are you a ghost?" She asked very quietly.

Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2016 6:45 pmVinny looked startled to be caught.
"Wha, me? No, no! Not at all.
...Or at least, I don't think I am."

Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2016 6:58 pm"Oh, good, that would have been... well, best not to dwell on what it would have been." Something seemed to occur to her and she left the store quickly, "There we go, much better than talking through a window."

The name's Vinny, by the way..." he said, sticking his hand out as an afterthought.

Posted: Sat Jul 30, 2016 1:22 am"Oh, I'm not from around here, I'm from London. I'm a student at the university myself, but I'm a bit late in getting there. Long story."

Welcome to Xaviers, then!" he smiled.

Posted: Sat Jul 30, 2016 11:20 pm"Thank you. I would ask 'so you go through things', but that seems somewhat redundant." She paused for a second, "That is what you do right?"
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Mon Aug 01, 2016 9:12 pm"I'm sorely tempted to mess with you now, but no, that's all I do--phasing and all that good stuff," Vinny laughed. "What about you?"
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Mon Aug 01, 2016 10:16 pm"Super dense," she said, thumping herself in the head. "Strong, tough. The usual, or so I'm told."
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Mon Aug 01, 2016 10:52 pm"I think we've got to, like, fight or something now, right? Density control powers, activate?"

Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Wed Aug 03, 2016 2:34 am"Oooh, probably the first one. That sounds more up my general alley."
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Wed Aug 03, 2016 2:50 pmEliana nodded in appreciation, "I can do immovable object reasonably well myself."

Posted: Wed Aug 03, 2016 6:56 pm"Together, they fight crime," Vinny intoned in a mock-deep voice.
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Wed Aug 03, 2016 7:48 pm"Quite the duo. It might even sell well or make a good television series."
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Wed Aug 03, 2016 9:07 pm"I'll get on the merchandise rights immediately," Vinny joked.
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2016 3:33 am"You do that," she joked back, "So looking for something specific or just window shopping?"
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2016 4:03 am"Well, I was hoping to find some kind of quality mechanic around here, but none of them really seem to know what they're doing. So I was browsing as to not make it a totally wasted trip--there has to be SOMETHING odd 'round here."
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2016 12:34 pm"Mechanic? Are you having car trouble?"
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Fri Aug 05, 2016 2:41 am"Little bit. Some damage done in the last attack on the school," he frowned. "Hard to repair."
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Fri Aug 05, 2016 2:44 pm"What happened? To your car I mean."
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Fri Aug 05, 2016 8:27 pm"It was attacked and trashed. By mongols and crazy roommates."
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Fri Aug 05, 2016 10:13 pm"That does sound like it would be difficult to find a mechanic for."
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2016 12:23 am"Oh, that's not it--the all say it's too old, or broken down, or the country it's from doesn't exist anymore."
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2016 12:52 am"Well, surely they have the machines to make the parts you need at the school, right? I know I saw some workshops on the tour."
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2016 1:39 amVinny blinked.
"I didn't think of that. Why didn't I think of that?"

Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2016 5:46 am"Well, that's kind of what we DO here, right? Unusual things?"
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Sun Aug 07, 2016 12:16 am"I suppose it is. And hopefully we make things better in the long run."
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Sun Aug 07, 2016 7:02 am"That why you decided to come? You planning on bein' an X-Teamer or something?"
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Sun Aug 07, 2016 1:42 pm"I'm considering it, but this is where my parents wanted me. You?"
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Sun Aug 07, 2016 2:28 pm"Came here for fun and excitement and a new adventure...
...And to support my friend, who took to this whole thing a lot harder than I did."

Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Tue Aug 09, 2016 7:14 am"The whole "hey, you're not like other kids anymore!" thing."
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Tue Aug 09, 2016 1:24 pm"That is a tough thing to come to terms with. Is she doing better now?"
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Tue Aug 09, 2016 7:21 pm"Eh, she comes and goes. She accidentally blasted someone here already, so she was down about that, but the guy was asking for it."
Re: Wheel World Problems
Posted: Tue Aug 09, 2016 7:26 pmEliana looked shocked for a moment, but she covered it up quickly. "What did he do?"
