Return Guests, OPEN

[Raven Darkholme]

She strode into the school as if she belonged there. Wearing the face of one Ororo Munroe, no one would believe she didn't. As Amil had dropped off his latest package and made sure it was found, he noticed that the telepath and Logan had both been there. Which meant no snooping in her mind, and no detecting her by scent. Which left the students open and available.

Taking off her gloves and running a hand through her hair she glanced around the foyer. "Anyone around? Awfully quiet." She muttered as if concerned.

[Kurt Wagner]

Kurt was just climbing up the few stairs up to the great door of the mansion when he heard an unfamiliar voice inside. When he finally entered the entrance hall, he saw a dark skinned woman with white hair that seemed to be quite handsome at least in his eyes. He thought he knew her from what Lorna had told him at her tour through the mansion but he couldn’t quite remember the real name – only the alias she used. Storm. As far as he could retell Lorna’s words, Storm had been away from the school for some days and obviously returned earlier than the others had expected.
”Hey there.”, he greeted her.
His tail twisted as the blue mutant took a few steps in her direction and smiled. As far as possible, he wouldn’t admit he didn’t know her name anymore.
”My name is Kurt Wagner. I came here while you weren’t around.”
This whole introducing stuff somehow got easier for him each time and he thought that one of the staff wouldn’t be surprised of seeing another mutant around – even one that looked… different.

[Sarah Ray Morgan]

So far, Sarah was having a pretty good day, she'd managed to make it to breakfast and her first class, which meant she deserved a reward. Thoughts of food running through the young mutant's head were leading her down from the female dorms toward the kitchen when she noticed Kurt and an unfamiliar woman in the front hall. Curious as to what the blue German was doing, Sarah deviated from her path with a slightly quizzical look on her face. It wasn't her usual way to give into curiosity so easily, but she hadn't been doing things her usual way as of late anyhow, and it seemed to the young redhead that she was offered more reward when she spoke to people rather than when she dodged them.
"Hey Kurt, um..." The redhead looked over to the older woman, taking in her stark white hair contrasted with dark skin and almost austere demeanor. Was this a teacher? Or maybe the social worker, but it couldn't be. For some odd reason, Sarah immediately pegged the woman as a mutant, though she wasn't sure if it was because of her hair or...something else. Figuring she'd stared a bit too long for it to be polite, Sarah offered her hand to the stranger, an uncertain but still kind smile pulling up at the corners of her mouth. "I'm Sarah, nice to meet you." It was all the girl could figure to say, and wasn't it how one was supposed to greet people? She made a mental note to work on her social skills later; this felt far too 'plastic'.

[Raven Darkholme]

She gave a soft smile and nodded to Kurt, then to the girl as she joined them. "I'm Ororo Munroe. A professor here. I'm afraid I've been away on some personal business for awhile. It seems awfully quiet, I must have come during classes." She added. Her eyes took in the two of them, but showed no outward sings of recognition.

"So how are you two liking it here so far?"

[Kurt Wagner]

Just that moment, he saw Sarah coming down the stairs and smiled. She looked rather curious what probably meant that she hadn’t encountered Storm, too. It seemed to him that she eased up in meeting new people like him and he smiled at her.
”Hey Sarah”, he replied, before turning towards the teacher again. Ororo Munroe. He tried to keep that name in mind though now it was clear to him why he hadn’t remembered it. That she was unsure whether there were classes at the moment or not made him pause for a moment. But as she had been away for quite a while she may be unaware of any changes in the timetable. And he didn’t know about classes at all, so he couldn’t even tell her.
As he had presumed, she didn’t show any sign of shock about his appearance what made him smile a little wider.
”Oh, it’s great of course. I mean, I haven’t been here for more than a few days, but it’s a nice place where we can learn to control our powers and hide from the humans…”
His voice trailed off and he looked over to Sarah. He had a feeling that he might be a little overenthusiastic and now he waited for her response, since he didn’t want to appear rude or like someone who gabbed all day.

[Raven Darkholme]

Knowing her part well she nodded and stepped forward. "We hope for a day when hiding isn't necessary, but for now, we work for it, and work to stay safe." She glanced down the hall to the office, the layout of the mansion still fresh in her mind. "I, was going to see if there was anything I needed to finish in the office, but perhaps you'd like to take a walk?" She offered with a smile, "I'm an excellent listener and like to get to know our new students, and friends."

[Logan Manywounds]

ooc -- with sarah away for a bit. presume she goes for more food before her growling midsection embarrasses her. so skip to kurt.

[Kurt Wagner]

Sarah didn’t look like she wanted to talk at the moment and Kurt frowned when he saw her hand on her stomach. Was she sick? Or did she fight the shape shift?
But then he heard a small rumble from her belly and grinned over to her. She excused herself and disappeared towards the kitchen.
”I don’t want to hold you up from doing the important stuff. But at the moment, the others all seem to be gone somewhere and can’t tell you what happened the last days and weeks.”
Kurt was polite and rather chary as always, but of course, his curiosity made him go on.
”But if you have some time, I’m always curious about new things and persons and this whole world of mutants is rather new to me, so I think there’s always a lot to talk about.”
He couldn’t help but to grin a little shyly. Probably the staff members had more important things to do than to care about every single newcomer.

[Raven Darkholme]

She smiled, "Then let's talk. Over breakfast, or a walk? I leave it up to you. I apologize, I'm usually here when we have new arrivals, but, I had some personal business to attend to." She added carefully.

[Sarah Ray Morgan]

Having found a few leftover pieces of toast, cold sausage, and for some reason two cupcakes, Sarah's visit to the kitchen was brief and the young redhead soon reunited with Kurt and the stranger she now assumed was a teacher. If she wasn't mistaken, Sarah recalled Lorna mentioning an Ororo just a few hours ago. Unsure of her assumption, the black clad mutant girl stood beside Kurt, offering him a small smile, wondering why she felt the need to be there in the first place.

[Kurt Wagner]

“Oh, I wanted to leave it up to you since you’ve just arrived.”, Kurt offered politely. If it was him coming home from a journey, he could imagine that he would long for something to eat and perhaps they would find Sarah in the kitchen again. Just as he had thought that, Sarah rejoined them. Of course, Kurt also had nothing against taking a walk through the still mostly unknown mansion or the gardens.
”I would be fine with both possibilities. What about you, Sarah?”, he asked though Sarah had just been in the kitchen.
His tail lazily twisted in the air like a cat’s tail usually did while the furry German looked at his new friend.

[Sarah Ray Morgan]

Sarah honestly didn't know what to think. Actually, what she was thinking was that maybe she should have had some ramen too. Chicken flavored.
Not wanting to seem 'out of the loop' as it were, so the young mutant simply shrugged, looking from Ororo to Kurt. "I'm fine with anything really." She said, hoping she hadn't just agreed to something odd. Which was doubtful, but still...

[Raven Darkholme]

"The gardens it is then. I prefer being out in the open if I can help it." she explained it away and gestured towards the back patio doors before heading that way herself.

"So are either of you in any classes right now?"

[Kurt Wagner]

The member of staff decided in favour of the gardens and they went out of the doors where Kurt just had come in. Storm‘s question made him wonder since what he made out of it was completely nonsense. Again, his knowledge of the English language fooled him. The blue German hesitated for a few moments, trying to figure out the right meaning of her question and finally coming to the only reasonable conclusion he could think of.
”Ah… no not yet. I’ve been around for only few days now and didn’t really have the time to go looking for something that might be interesting. I’m just learning so much without any classes…”
And though he was really getting to know so much about the mutant world, he made a mental note to go looking if there was any course that sounded good to him.

[Sarah Ray Morgan]

Sarah had almost completely forgotten about classes. She vaguely recalled the some members of staff assuring her that she didn't have to attend class if she wasn't quite in the mood. It was really something to help keep her mind off things, since they assumed the redhead wouldn't be staying too long. She'd gone to a few, but wasn't really a regular participant, as the majority of the attendees were just high school kids, which made her feel a bit odd, like she'd been held back a few grades.

"I haven't really been regularly attending class, actually." The gothic mutant admitted, walking just beside Kurt. "They said that that was OK when I got here." She added quickly, hoping she wouldn't get in trouble for 'ditching'. This place really did feel like high school sometimes.
