What if.........Rachel wasn't a massive slut.

"I don't know," Ryan admitted with an odd smile. "Whenever I'd stop somewhere, they'd kind of push away anyone that was actually interesting or sane."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Sep 08, 2011 12:11 am

"See, now you're making me not regret not meeting you at the party." Rachel said.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Sep 08, 2011 12:40 am

Ryan chuckled a bit. "Well, you're meeting me now, aren't you? When I'm not about to go fly off in the morning?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Sep 08, 2011 12:51 am

"So I shouldn't call you angel of the morning?" Rachel shot back, smiling.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Sep 08, 2011 12:57 am

"Well, that would imply a morning, and you don't strike me as one who'd appreciate me rushing straight to that end, now, are you?" Ryan teased back.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Sep 08, 2011 1:03 am

"I just meant that you weren't going to be leaving any time soon." Rachel said lamely Great, now he thinks you're a prude.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Sep 08, 2011 1:09 am

Ryan chuckled. "Nope... not going to leave," he said. Wow, I hope I didn't just blow that. DOES she just want to sleep with me?

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Sep 08, 2011 1:45 am

"Good." Rachel said "I like the sound of that. Um, I do need to leave, though, to get ready for the thing. But I'll catch you later, ok?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Sep 08, 2011 1:49 am

"Sure," Ryan said. "I'm not hard to find, just keep your eyes open, okay?" he said, flashing her that smile.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Sep 08, 2011 1:59 am

(after the convocation, and a few drinks at the XUB)

"Thank you for walking me back to my dorm." Rachel said, giggling.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Sep 08, 2011 2:03 am

Ryan smiled. "Well, far be it from me to leave a lady to fend off all kinds of irreputable boys that might be living here after she's had a few," he teased, taking a deep breath of the night air.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Sep 08, 2011 8:22 pm

"Yes, because it isn't like I can kill people with my brain." Rachel said, smirking.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Sep 08, 2011 8:49 pm

"So would you rather I just drop the not-faked gentlemanly attitude and just admit I was also jumping at the chance to maybe get to know you a little better?" he teased.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Sep 08, 2011 10:25 pm

"I'd expect nothing less." Rachel said, giggling.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Sep 09, 2011 12:32 am

Ryan smiled at that, not seeming in a particular hurry to make it back to the dorms. "So why'd you come here, then? You must have gotten a few years in at Arizona already."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Sep 09, 2011 12:52 am

"I decided that I wanted to be around other mutants." Rachel said "There were some back home, but...I wanted to be in a place where I'd get to be pushed, and really test myself. I'm even thinking of trying out for the X-teams."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Sep 09, 2011 1:12 am

Ryan nodded at that. "Are you sure about that one? Not saying you can't do it, definitely not saying that. Just... well, everyone seems to come here thinking that."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Sep 09, 2011 1:25 am

"I'm sure." Rachel said "I know it sounds corny, but I want to use my powers to help people. Being on the X-teams is one way to do that."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Sep 09, 2011 1:42 am

Ryan nodded. "Well, if that's what you want to do, just say the word if there's anything I can do to help," he said. That was it. No more trying to talk her out of it, he knew the feeling all too well.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Sep 09, 2011 1:55 am

"Thanks." Rachel said "That means a lot, especially coming from you."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Sep 09, 2011 2:07 am

Ryan chuckled, not really noticing that he didn't turn toward the dorms. "It's not really that big a deal," he admitted. "I'm just a guy with a blog."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Sep 09, 2011 2:10 am

"It isn't just a blog." Rachel said "After I didn't get hired by X-corp....while I was at UofA, it helped me remember that there was a whole world out there, with mutants going off and having exciting adventures. That I wouldn't always be a freak."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Sep 09, 2011 2:17 am

"Of course you're not a freak," Ryan said, almost automatically, but with feeling.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Sep 09, 2011 9:13 pm

"How much time have you spent living with regular people?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Sep 09, 2011 10:30 pm

"Too much." He gave his wings a flap. "The issues don't seem to wait to find me when I do," he added.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Sep 09, 2011 11:21 pm

"Yeah, I can imagine." Rachel said "I had to deal with enough creepers, and that is without having a physical mutation."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Fri Sep 09, 2011 11:36 pm

"Ugh, really?" he said, giving her a knowing, sympathetic look. "What is your power, anyway?" he asked.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sat Sep 10, 2011 12:05 am

"I'm a telepath." Rachel said "Well, more or less."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Sep 10, 2011 12:18 am

"That sounds both descriptive and vague at the same time," Ryan teased.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sat Sep 10, 2011 12:52 am

"I'm not very good at mindspeaking, or manipulating emotions, or pulling information out of someone's head." Rachel said "What I am good at is controlling the autonomic nervous system."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Sep 10, 2011 12:58 am

"That's usually the harder thing to do, isn't it?" he asked.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sat Sep 10, 2011 11:39 pm

"Yeah." Rachel said "Usually teeps are good with stuff that involves actual thought or emotion, and have trouble with body stuff. I'm the opposite. I have to work to hear someone's thoughts, but if I'm not shielding, people start synching up with my breathing and heart rate."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 12:12 am

Ryan nodded. "And that got you creepers" he asked.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 12:27 am

Rachel nodded "Think for a minute about the possible sexual uses of my mutation. Yeah. Trust me, what you just thought of isn't nearly as kinky as some of the suggestions people made. On the first or second date. Or at a party, or whatever."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 1:08 am

"Yeah, well, at least there's some creativity involved. In the meantime, I've heard every variant of "I want to feel your feathers running along my body" that a pre-college education can equip a person to come up with."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Sep 12, 2011 12:27 am

"Well to be fair...." Rachel said, then trailed off, blushing.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Sep 12, 2011 12:38 am

Ryan smirked. "Yes, but I'm talking about people who's only offering toward conversation and getting to know me is that line," he answered, not calling her on the statement further than that.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Mon Sep 12, 2011 12:58 am

"That does make a difference." Rachel said "So, what made you decide to come to London?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Mon Sep 12, 2011 1:10 am

"It got me out of New York," he said, bluntly, with a little smile. "Getting to see Europe is great... getting to get away from the mansion is even better." By now it was plainly obvious they weren't walking back to the dorms, and that he wasn't particularly worried about it. He stopped where they were, looking up at the sky.
