The College Years - Moving In

"Aye. Kind of surreal. The faculty are all superheroes."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 9:54 am

"Sounds great. I like surreal. But yeah, I knew I wasn't gonna go."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 9:55 am

"Wanted to be a superhero, huh?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 10:00 am

"Maybe not a superhero but it sounded so amazing to just go to school with other mutants and learn t--" she interrupts herself for a moment.

"T-to learn to fly. It's hard to teach yourself." she tries to finish the sentence.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 10:01 am

"Just flying, then?" She quirked a brow.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 10:07 am

"Yeah..." she starts but she can tell that it's not going to work already. "Well... for a while I was having trouble with languages. I'd keep mixing words in from French or Mandarin or not understand some English ones." she admits, though while true is a bit exaggerated in how much trouble that caused.

"So maybe you've got some actual powers type mutations? That's kind of cool."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 10:18 am

"Mé cannaigh labhair gach nuatheangacha líofa."

(("I can speak any language fluently."))

"Took a guess that I know Gaelic, then?" She chuckled.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 10:27 am

"Thought you might. You mentioned you're from Ireland even if your accent hadn't give it away and since about 40% of the population speak Gaeilge I thought there'd be a good chance you'd understand it."

"I... mentioned that I'm taking a couple language classes, right?" she says a bit sheepishly.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 10:29 am

"Guessed right, don't worry."

"They wouldn't let you test out of the language classes?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 10:35 am

"Not entirely, but huge chunks of it. I think they were getting increasingly pissed with me for being a mutant and not having to put in any effort."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 10:36 am

"Oh, terribly sorry for being amazing," she laughed.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 10:40 am

"Maybe I shouldn't have tried signing up for every single language they offer but yeah, seems dumb."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 10:41 am

"I mean sure, you've got an unfair advantage, but that just means they should put you in the high-level classes, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 10:44 am

"They pretty much got out every single hoop to jump through the moment I stepped foot in their office with wings and a tail." she shrugs faintly. "Not going to let that stop me."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 10:46 am

"That's good. You shouldn't. We're no different from any other gifted students."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 10:50 am

"We're a little different. They're just scared that that means we're better."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 10:53 am

"Well would they give you this kind of hassle if you were just really smart?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 10:59 am

"Probably not. And I'm not trying to defend them or anything. I just know it's pointless to fight them on it."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 11:06 am

"Best revenge is living well, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 11:09 am

"Yeah. I'll show them. Eventually." she chuckles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 11:12 am

"Not exactly a crime-fighting power, though." She stuck out her tongue.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 11:13 am

"Well no, but not everyone has to be a hero, right?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 11:20 am

"Guess that's true. Just sort of one of the things about the school in Salem."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 11:25 am

"Really? How so? I mean, I know a lot of superheroes come from there but still..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 11:28 am

"Well they're the X-Men, aye? It kind of makes you want to. They even had us pick codenames as kind of a self esteem thing."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 11:34 am

"So... what's the name you picked then?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 11:34 am

"It's going to sound dorky, but I went with Morrigan."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 11:43 am

"Morrigan? I've heard that before somewhere... One of the Celtic gods?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 11:48 am

"She's in a lot of stories. A shapeshifter."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 12:01 pm

"Well that makes sense then."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 12:03 pm

"Aye, except that, like, nobody gets it."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 12:12 pm

She chuckles. "Well, it's original at least."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 12:15 pm

"Mostly. There's apparently some video game succubus named that, so some people really think the wrong thing."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 12:34 pm

"That's just unfortunate..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 12:36 pm

"Since I've seduced exactly nobody? Aye."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 12:38 pm

"Not even a boyfriend in highschool?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 12:39 pm

"Well that's not seduction, aye? That's just dating."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 12:45 pm

"True. You didn't answer my question though." she teases.
