Orientation: Dawn of the Phoenix

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 2:40 pm

Altamira didn't want to make an apperance at orientation, for worry of hogging the proverbial spotlight. This wasn't her show, after all.

So, instead, she wandered the garden, slowly.

Wandering around the campus in general awe Kara almost bumps into Altamira as she rounds a corner and is distracted by looking over to the hedge maze.

"Whoops, 'scuse me." she starts before her eyes go wide upon noticing the costume. "Oh my gosh! I've heard about you. You're Jean Grey, aren't you!?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 3:32 pm

"I used to be," she smiled. "I tend to go by Altamira now."

by **Kara Vanderbilt** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 3:36 pm

"Oh. Okay then! Nice to meet you, Miss Altamira Phoenix."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 4:15 pm

"Just 'Altamira' or 'Phoenix' will do fine, Kara."

by **Kara Vanderbilt** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 4:32 pm

"Heard of me, have you?" she jokes.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 4:41 pm

"I've heard of everybody."

by **Kara Vanderbilt** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 4:46 pm

"That makes it seem like something I can't brag about..."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 4:46 pm

"I'm afraid you've hit the proverbial nail on the head there, my friend."

by **Kara Vanderbilt** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 4:48 pm

"Damnit. Now I gotta actually accomplish something to boast with." she chuckles.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 4:55 pm

"Good life advice, no matter your status!:

by **Kara Vanderbilt** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 5:00 pm

"Easy for you to say."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 5:09 pm

"It is, isn't it?" she smiled.

by **Kara Vanderbilt** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 5:15 pm

"Curses!" she laughs. "Oh well, actually doing stuff is more fun anyway."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 5:26 pm

"I've found that to be the case.

What brings you to the gardens?"

by **Kara Vanderbilt** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 6:34 pm

"Oh just checking things out."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 6:39 pm

"Looking for trouble?"

by **Kara Vanderbilt** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 6:52 pm

"Pretty sure that wouldn't look good on my application to join the teams."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 1:52 am

"Because the X-Men have always been a bastion of responsibility."

by **Kara Vanderbilt** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 9:07 am

"Well I just got the 'this is serious business' spiel from Mr. Tall-Dark-And-Nerdy."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 3:15 pm

"Ah, yes, John. He's...studious."

by **Kara Vanderbilt** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 3:31 pm

"That's one way to put it. You sound like you got a bit less serious outlook on this stuff."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 3:34 pm

"Less serious might not be quite accurate--I just think I have a better sense of...context then John has.

In other words, life is short. Eat dessert first."

by **Kara Vanderbilt** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 3:42 pm

"Maybe I should have said a more fun outlook." she smirks.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 3:46 pm

"If you don't stop to laugh at how ridiculous the world is, you'll never get anything done."

by **Kara Vanderbilt** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 3:58 pm

"Finally somebody who makes sense!" she grins.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 4:16 pm

"That's sort of my job."

by **Kara Vanderbilt** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 4:20 pm

"Your job's to make sense?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 4:50 pm

"More to see the bigger picture of things."

by **Kara Vanderbilt** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 5:27 pm

"Greater good and all that?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 5:36 pm

"Just...greater."

by **Kara Vanderbilt** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 5:43 pm

"Ooh, I see." she says almost out of reflex.

"Actually... I'm not sure I do." she adds after a moment.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 8:40 pm

"You wouldn't be the first not to get it, but I don't want to over-burden you on your first day here."

by **Kara Vanderbilt** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 8:56 pm

"I'll just file it with 'God works in mysterious ways' then."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 9:22 pm

"Oh, I'm not THAT mysterious," she grinned.

by **Kara Vanderbilt** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 9:43 pm

"Well yeah. Case in point, I'm currently talking to you."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 9:46 pm

"This is true," she agreed.

by **Kara Vanderbilt** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 9:56 pm

"So that's your job. What does the Phoenix do for fun?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 10:15 pm

"Nothing too important."

by **Kara Vanderbilt** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 10:21 pm

"How come? It's all been there, done that?"
