Sept 2nd - Dining Hall

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as additional housing and classroom space for the Institute. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for both the Institute and those University students on a meal plan. Student reactions have been mixed, and reports of paranormal activity are as of yet unsubstantiated.

Sept 2nd - Dining Hall

Jennifer is sitting in the cafeteria over lunch break at one of the corner tables, just kind of staring into the room in general, her food in front of her mostly going ignored.

Vivienne entered and took a seat at Jennifer's table, being sure to place a few chairs between herself and the other girl, just in case the other was not truly desiring company. She carefully draped her long sword across the back of her chair and began to unwrap a small loaf of bread and a chunk of cheese as she too watched the room.

"You like to people-watch too?" she asks, having either missed the sword or not considering it strange in the slightest that someone would carry around a sword.

"It is easiest to watch first. I am Vivienne." She offered out her hand awkwardly.

"I would not know. I am quite relieved to see so many "strange" people, in fact. Mostly, I am watching the social interactions between individuals."

"Ooh, like Redcaps? I read up on that stuff before I came here. Like, people think it's things with stupid pixie wings like from a Disney Movie but they're from old stories about stuff that'll mess you up. Like Grimm's Fairy Tales, right?"

Vivienne wrinkled her nose at the mention if the Redcaps, but then her expression melted and she smiled. "Yes, exactly. I am fey or at least half-fey."

"Fey do not change easily and even before the barrier, very few interacted beneficially with mortals. My mother prepared me as best she could, but even with her help, I have found that I am embarrassingly out of date." She sighed.

"I do not know what a "gun" is, but I assume it is a weapon. If such a thing is used in such ways against the innocent, then it does make sense now why people seem prone to assume the worst of me."

"Certainly." She warped up her lunch and placed it aside before placing Caledfwlch on the table.

"Quite the opposite. It's called Caledfwlch." The sword was unusually warm and hummed softly under Jennifer's hand.

"Is it supposed to be doing that?" she asks, leaning closer to see if she can tell what's going on with the sword.

Graham walked by carrying his tray of food and stopped as he noticed the sword. Threat evaluations ran through his head as he looked over Vivienne. It probably didn't look like that's why he was staring.

Vivienne carefully pull the hilt, revealing six inches of steel then she placed her free hand on the metal. "Ah, you are very sensitive if you can feel it. It is a tool as much as a weapon, it is the magic that it holds and channels for me that you have felt. My mother said that sometimes some can hear it sing."

Paul fell out of a portal at the entrance of the cafeteria. His eyes tracked around the room a moment. There we go. He threw a portal out, stepping over to the lunch line to grab a sandwich, then threw another one as he stepped over to pull out another chair at the table. Three steps. Doing good this time. "Hi!" he said brightly, finally looking around to see who he was sitting with. Oh, it's the gloomy chick.

At the sudden appearance of Paul, Vivienne stands, knocking over her chair and pulls Caledfwlch fully, pointing at Paul's throat. "Daliwch yn enw'r dduwies triphlyg!" Vivienne demanded in Welsh as she quickly takes stock of the room for other threats and spots Graham staring and divides her glare between both males now.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" Paul shouted, backing up, which of course made him trip over the chair he'd just sat down in, falling back and crashing into the table behind him. Owwwwwww...

Graham sprung to Paul's aid, dumping his metal tray and using it to hit away the blade. Damn he was fast.

The tray split in two against the blade as Vivienne struck it and moved quickly, placing herself between the boys and Jennifer. "Stand and declare yourselves." The sword angled downward.

Paul stared up at her wide-eyed in panic. Um... um... um... PORTAL! He fell through the portal as it popped open under him, popping him out again across the cafeteria as he tumbled into another table. Ow ow ow ow...

Not... what I saw happening.

Paul, meanwhile, was trying to maintain bladder control. "WHY DO WE HAVE CRAZY BITCHES WITH SWORDS!?" he babbled, trying to find a clear path toward the door.

"...Helltân..." Vivienne suddenly looked slightly ill. "Please, forgive me. I am so sorry. Your...roommate startled me as I was showing Jennifer Caledfwlch. The magic calls, his sudden appearance while the metal was exposed..." She was quickly sheathing the long sword, wrapping it again and hugging it to her chest.
