The College Years - Moving In

"I really do like my parents, even though they worry too much."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 7:00 pm

"Well that's parents, I guess." she smiles a bit crookedly.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 7:06 pm

"Of course, both yours are mutants. When my powers came out, mine didn't really know what to do."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 7:26 pm

"Yeah, I got lucky there. And I knew it was probably coming." Not the last thing you saw coming either, isn't that hilarious.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 7:28 pm

Oddly, Samantha seemed as if she kept listening even after Nailah had stopped talking. She quirked a brow for a moment, but shrugged it off.

"It's not that my parents were awful about it, but it really came as a shock to my family."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 7:35 pm

"I can imagine. And shapeshifting is probably one of the scarier ones..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 7:38 pm

"Yeah. I had no control over it when it started. I looked monstrous."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 7:42 pm

"Oh gee... Sorry, that must have been awful."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 7:48 pm

"That's pretty much what convinced them I needed help."

"I'm over it, though. My body doesn't spaz out anymore."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 7:54 pm

"Good for you. I can only imagine what it'd be like to go through changes like that over and over."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 7:56 pm

"Well don't fret it. It's not so bad now that I can do what I want with it."

"Maybe I'll change something when we go out sometime, for solidarity's sake. How cool would that be?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 8:01 pm

"You don't have to do that. I mean... it'd pretty much out you right there."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 8:04 pm

"They're going to find out sooner or later, aye? Besides, how fair is it to you?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 3:40 am

"Life isn't particularly fair in that regard but if you want to do it I'm not going to stop you." she smiles faintly.

"I'd rather people know I'm a mutant than just think I'm a mutant's long-suffering friend," she smirked as a tail not unlike Nailah's extended from behind her.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 6:56 am

"Yeah, you're probably right." she says and lets out a chuckle when she spots the tail. "Probably easier to let things roll off your back if you're not alone, huh?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 6:58 am

"Aye, so don't think someone who had a genuine catgirl for a roommate is going to be embarrassed to be seen with you."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 7:00 am

"Well that was with everyone being mutants, right?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 7:01 am

"So I'm supposed to pretend it didn't all happen, now?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 7:05 am

"What? No, of course not."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 7:08 am

"So there's no reason to forget where I come from."

"Now I've got a roommate with wings, which is awesome."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 7:17 am

"Sorry, I guess I'm not really used to being around other mutants. But yeah, we should totally go for a fly some time."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 7:20 am

"Well that's the whole reason I'm pushing this, aye? Four years telling me it's okay to be a mutant."

"Though if we're going to go flying a lot, I should definitely have them send up my suit."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 7:26 am

"It's not that I'm ashamed of it. Hell, I wouldn't be here if I was. And what suit? I usually don't go high enough to really get cold..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 7:27 am

"I've got a jumpsuit that I don't have to leave behind if I turn into something that my normal clothes wouldn't fit."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 7:31 am

"Oh. Oh!" she says when it hits her. "Right, yeah, that'd be... yeah."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 7:34 am

"Awkward, yeah. I can't do clothes."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 7:38 am

"Better wait till you have your suit then." she chuckles a little.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 8:16 am

"Otherwise, what kind of girl would they think I am?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 8:30 am

"Right, yeah." she chuckles, though it almost sounds a bit nervous. "Guess shapeshifting has it's downsides."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 8:34 am

"You okay there? I know it's kind of weird to talk about."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 8:37 am

"Little bit. Just... yeah. Awkward, you know?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 8:37 am

"You're not the one who had to end up like that," she smirked.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 8:39 am

"Still an awkward topic."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 8:40 am

"But it probably made you forget about them staring at you, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 8:43 am

"That's true!" she laughs.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 8:44 am

"Glad I could be of service."

"Happens to everyone, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 9:34 am

"Probably. But yeah, it's good to have a roomie who's a mutant too, whether the registrar did it on purpose or not."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 9:34 am

"Aye. The idea is growing on me."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 9:45 am

"So they taught you how to control your mutation at Xaviers then?"
