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

It was the first day, and not knowing many people, Rachel headed into the cafeteria, got a big salad and sat down at a table that gave her a good view of the door.

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 7:58 pm

Nina sat down with a rather large tray of food and a soda.

"I'm glad you reminded me. I forget to eat sometimes."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 7:59 pm

"Glad to be of assistence." Rachel said "So, what is your power?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 8:00 pm

I wonder if that stuff that Gideon said about not being able to get a good hamburger in England is true? Ryan mused as he walked in, slowly perusing the options. He was probably talking out his ass...

"Oh, I can make these cute little guys," Nina says, holding up her hand to show a strange looking spider about the size of her palm. It crawls around her hand before skittering up her wrist and towards her shoulder.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 8:04 pm

"Cool." Rachel replied. She would have said more, but she was distracted "Look at who just walked in the door."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 8:07 pm

"Who?" Nina says, glancing around, "Oh. Ryan?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 8:08 pm

"You know him?" Rachel asked "Duh, of course you both went to XI. Yeah, Ryan." she signed "He's even hotter in person."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 8:12 pm

"He has an interesting skeletal structure," Nina says, in a way that sounded like she was agreeing with Rachel, "O positive blood."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 8:15 pm

"I'm more interested in the musculature." Rachel said, blushing when she realized how that sounded "He has hollow bones, right?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 8:19 pm

Oh, hell, British beef can't be that bad, Ryan thought as he loaded up his tray. He glanced around the cafeteria, then seemed to zero in on the girls' table. Is that... Yeah, that's Nina from the infirmary. And... and I sincerely hope that she's going to introduce me to he friend, he thought, giving his wings a pronounced flap as he made his way across the cafeteria to a chair across the table from them. "Good evening, ladies," he said with that smile of his, "Anyone mind if I sit here?"

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 8:20 pm

"I believe he does," Nina says before turning her attention to Ryan, "I don't mind."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 8:27 pm

"Feel free." Rachel said, smiling at him a bit shyly "I'm Rachel. You must be Ryan."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 8:30 pm

"Must he?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 8:33 pm

Ryan waved back to Sam as he took his seat. "Yes, I suppose I must," he answered Nina with a chuckle. "You, I remember, and it's going to be nice having you see me someplace other than the infirmary after I've been banged up. You, though, unfortunately I can't say I've had the pleasure," he said, turning the smile on Rachel.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 8:34 pm

"I'm Rachel." she replied, blushing a little "Rachel O'Brien. I just transferred over from UofA. The one in Arizona."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 8:35 pm

"She's my roommate and she's not a burglar," Nina says in a helpful tone, "And she was admiring your musculature."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 8:37 pm

"Oh, she was?" Ryan asked, chuckling. "And did you draw any conclusions from your study?" he teased, a little gleam in his eye as he gave her a quick once-over.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 8:53 pm

Rachel looked at him, and, joking to hide the nervousness, said "You're a lot stronger than you look, especially in your upper body. And I'd be very interested to see how your wings connect to your back. Um, For science."

"You minor in Biology, then," Ryan stated, fighting not to smirk.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 9:22 pm

"Major, actually." Rachel said with a smile that was only slightly nervous.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 9:25 pm

"Oh, even better. Well, I'm sure that we could work out some sort of research schedule," he chuckled.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 9:29 pm

"I'm free this evening, if you want to do the preliminary tests." Rachel said, a little to quickly "After the convocation, we could meet in the XUB. And talk about, y'know, the experimental protocols."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 9:35 pm

"I think I might be able to be persuaded to break with any plans I might have already made for tonight," Ryan said thoughtfully.

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 9:36 pm

"I could help if you want," Nina says, seeming to take the conversation at face value, "He spent a lot of time in the infirmary. I already have some data on him."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 9:38 pm

"Maybe another time." Rachel said "I'd rather do the initial evaluation, um, independently."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 9:41 pm

Ryan chuckled. "So you prefer working alone? You don't use assistants?" he teased, feeling slightly bad at how much this was all going over Nina's head.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 9:46 pm

"I've never used an assistant." Rachel said, blushing "Not that I'd be totally opposed to the idea, but, uh, I think I'd rather do the initial evaluation solo."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 10:01 pm

Nina pauses, "...This has descended into innuendo hasn't it?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 10:03 pm

"Always a good policy," Ryan agreed. "So where did you study before you came here?" He looked at Nina and grinned. "Sorry, it never even started above innuendo."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 10:07 pm

: I went to the University of Arizona. And yes, I really did major in biology."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 10:15 pm

Ryan nodded. "Nice place," he said, "I passed through there on my way through Arizona a couple years ago. Great parties, too. You're from Arizona, then?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 10:19 pm

"I remember." Rachel replied "I was at one of the parties, but we never actually met. I'm from Arizona, Mesa to be precise."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 10:26 pm

"I'm sure we must not have, because I know I would have remembered that," Ryan said with a smirk.

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 10:34 pm

Nina begins eating, leaving the two to flirt without interruption.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 11:04 pm

Ryan Gabriel wrote:"I'm sure we must not have, because I know I would have remembered that," Ryan said with a smirk.

"The girls from Tri-delt were three deep around you." Rachel said "I barely got in the door. And as things turned out, I was a bit....preoccupied" she smiled a little at the memory and then continued "But that was then."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Sep 07, 2011 9:05 pm

From the looks of him, Ryan also remembered the memory. His smile looked more than a little forced, though. "Yeah... that was then. And it was... something." I guess.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed Sep 07, 2011 10:15 pm

"I'm glad I finally get to meet you now." Rachel said "I've been a big fan of your blog for years." Dammit, way to sound smooth, O'Brien.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Sep 07, 2011 11:51 pm

"Well, it's good to know that people read it who aren't... well, who aren't like those tri-delts were," he admitted with a smile.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Sep 08, 2011 12:02 am

"I like to think that they're in the minority." Rachel replied, somewhat awkwardly.
