Orientation - Hypochondria

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 2:04 pm

After a stop at the medical center that confirmed that Jennifer was, in fact, not dieing from anything, the staff more or less shoo'ed her and Maya out.

"Well, that's a relief. My brain's still fine, sloshing around in it's cerebral fluid." she tilts her head from side to side as if rocking her brain around inside her skull.

Maya felt embarrassed about overreacting. As always. "Sorry," She says. "Head injuries worry me a lot."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 2:15 pm

"Oh pish-posh. My brain's important."

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 2:24 pm

"Well, yeah. You are a genius, after all," Maya teases.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 2:28 pm

"Of course." she says, either playing along or missing the tease.

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 2:31 pm

"Did you see all of that medical equipment though? This place is crazy," Maya says, sounding impressed.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 2:34 pm

"Yeah, wonder what they need all that stuff for..."

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 2:37 pm

"With all of the mutants that live here, they probably get all kinds of injuries," Maya says. "Burns, breaks, lacerations, contusions, evisceration..."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 2:47 pm

"Good thing you can turn to smoke then."

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 2:49 pm

"I guess there had to be at least one upside," Maya says.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 2:52 pm

"I wonder what happens if somebody breathes you in..."

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 3:12 pm

"Nothing good, I'm sure."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 3:18 pm

"Yeah... Guess you were right about the medical center then." she chuckles. "I wonder who's gonna get hurt first... I don't count cause nothing was actually wrong."

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 3:28 pm

"Probably one of the people on the X-Teams," Maya says. "Supposedly, they go on dangerous missions and stuff."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 3:34 pm

"Sounds exciting."

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 3:38 pm

"Sure. If you like being shot at by crazy people," Maya says.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 3:58 pm

"Not particularly. But I bet they come back with great stories."

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 4:08 pm

"The crazy people? Well, I guess so," Maya says.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 4:10 pm

"Crazy people are the most interesting."

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 4:14 pm

"Not always true. I'm very, very boring," Maya says.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 4:22 pm

"You think so?"

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 4:25 pm

"I spent two hours organizing my binders for class today," Maya says. "Hanging out with you has been the most exciting thing I've done in months."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 4:57 pm

"Guess that means you should hang out with me more..." she muses.

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 6:12 pm

"That'd be fun," Maya agrees.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 6:18 pm

"Cool..." she smiles faintly. "Usually I scare people off."

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 6:36 pm

"Why?" Maya asks. "I mean, I'm like the biggest scaredy-cat ever and you're not bugging me at all."

"You must have met some real wimps."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 6:44 pm

"I guess so." she chuckles. "Paul and Graham think I'm a weirdo though and a voice in my head told me to stay out of peoples' thoughts. Which seems kinda hypocritical if you think about it..."

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 6:55 pm

"Really? That's weird," Maya says. "I wonder if it was a teacher or something."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 6:58 pm

"Oh gee... No wait, she said she learned that lesson last year herself. That doesn't sound like something a teacher would say."

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 7:02 pm

"Oh, then it's just a nosey student," Maya says. "That's kind of lame."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 7:08 pm

"Yeah... Dunno who but she said her name was Haley."

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 7:11 pm

"I'll keep an eye out for her," Maya says.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 7:20 pm

"Cool. Hey, the orientation letter thingie said there was gonna be a introduction to power stuff this afternoon. You wanna go and watch people try to show off?"

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 7:29 pm

"Sounds like a great potential for accidents and injuries," Maya says. "Heck, why not?"

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 8:34 pm

"Grody. We'll hang back in case you gotta throw up again."

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 8:38 pm

"I should be fine," Maya says. "As long as I don't think of blood. Or eating meat."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 8:39 pm

"You're a vegetarian?"

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 8:43 pm

"Yeah," Maya says. "It's kind of what set me off with the whole thing with Graham."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 8:53 pm

"No one's gonna eat Graham though."

by **Maya Mills** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 8:55 pm

"Hopefully," Maya mumbles. She does her best to ignore the image of her doing exactly that.
