Sept 6th - Food Goes In Mouth

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Thu Oct 23, 2014 1:16 pm

Jennifer is sitting at the corner table in the back, ignoring her bowl of cereal while browsing Craigslist on her phone.

Gary sat down at the table with his breakfast, bacon and pancakes drenched in syrup.

He gives a quick glance at Jeniffer.
What is she looking at?
He then goes about starting on his food.

Jennifer glances up at Gary, vaguely nods at him and goes back to scrolling through the 'Free Stuff' listings.

by **Gary Kelsey** » Thu Oct 23, 2014 9:54 pm

Gary shoves a bit of bacon, syrup, and pancake in his mouth with his fork as he notices Jennifer's nod.

What was that for?

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Thu Oct 23, 2014 10:30 pm

"I'm acknowledging your presence." she says without looking up.

by **Gary Kelsey** » Thu Oct 23, 2014 10:35 pm

Huh? Oh wait... she's one of those mind readers isn't she?

"You're Jennifer, right?"

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Thu Oct 23, 2014 10:38 pm

"Sure, why not." she says absentmindedly.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 1:58 pm

Brigid makes her way to a nearby table and sets her tray down. Sitting, she picks up a fork. Her mind flashes on several uses for the fork, each in blinding motion. A projectile into the nearby wall. Swinging her arm in an arc to embed it in the shoulder of a nearby student. Her mind seems to wrangle these possibilities into just one, stabbing it into the breakfast sausage on her plate.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 1:59 pm

"You show that sausage who's boss." Jennifer encourages her, still not taking her eyes from her phone.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 2:03 pm

"Er, what?" Brigid says, looking up.

Her motions themselves are just eating breakfast. Albeit in a fairly tight, controlled manner. Every movement is conserved. It at least looks normal, if a bit fussy.

It's the thoughts that accompany them that are vivid, suggestions of violence for every object she touches before she corrals it in. The salt shaker. A precise angle of force that would crack the glass into shards. An arc that would send the salt into a student's eyes. And... seasoning her eggs.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 2:05 pm

"Man, you eat breakfast like you mean it. Holy crap." she says, looking up now.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 2:09 pm

"I'm... not sure what you mean."

A threat? An angle of force to kick Jennifer's chair out from under her. Bringing the heel of Brigid's hand sharply up under Jennifer's chin. A quick downward thrust of the fork to pin Jennifer's hand to the table. Then all of those were pulled back in as Brigid focused back on... buttering her toast.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 2:12 pm

"You totally just messed me up in your head! That's so cool..."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 2:16 pm

"...oh crap, are you telepathic?"

Brigid grits her teeth nervously, her cheeks coloring as she grips the edges of her tray.

Flip the tray, slam it into Jennifer's face. Knock over the three nearest students in line, leading with your shoulder. The confusion should let you get away.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 2:20 pm

"Yeah. What's so bad about that?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 2:22 pm

"Well, I'm just... I'm not really that violent."

The vectors seem to be calmed for the moment, but she's sitting very stock-still, and keeping eye-contact.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 2:24 pm

"Well duh. You didn't actually bash my face in with your tray."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 2:28 pm

"It's a thing with my powers. Sometimes it's hard to keep them focused on, you know, useful things."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 2:32 pm

"You should take up butchering or something. I bet you would be crazy good at that."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 2:46 pm

"I'm just kind of trying to get a handle on it."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 2:52 pm

"Sushi chef? One of those crazy cook-your-food-as-you-watch places?" she seems to ignore Brigid.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 2:55 pm

"Getting through high school would be nice."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 2:59 pm

"High school's not so bad. At least it could be worse somewhere else, I guess."

by **Gary Kelsey** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 3:18 pm

Gary had certainly given the two girls the 'what the hell is going on look' during the beginning of their conversation but has now returned to eating his breakfast.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 3:42 pm

"See? He thinks it's weird," she says, gesturing to Gary.

by **Vertie Easley** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 4:31 pm

Vertie made an entrance and quickly moved through the que and taking two of everything onto her try. She quickly scanned the room and chose the table with the most people at it. "Hi!"

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 4:48 pm

"So?" she asks, glancing at Vertie and giving her a vague nod.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 4:51 pm

Alex made his way out of the lunch line, looking around and seeing a table with people he knew. He walked over, setting his tray down next to Brigid's. He shrugged off his backpack as he took a seat. "Hey, guys, what did I miss?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 5:06 pm

"We were just... well, talking, I guess. I don't think I caught their names."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 5:27 pm

"About how she was plotting to totally take me down with just her fork."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 6:06 pm

"Wait, what?" Alex said, blinking. He shot Brigid a look.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 6:17 pm

"That's not what we were talking about at all!"

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 6:18 pm

"Well it was before we veered off to something boring."

by **Vertie Easley** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 6:38 pm

"It's ok, sometimes the best way to get your point across is with a point. " She offered. "I'm Vertie."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 6:39 pm

"I'm Brigid. It's just... a power thing. She read my mind. It got weird."

by **Vertie Easley** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 6:44 pm

"Ah, are you a shiftier, I can help."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 7:18 pm

"It'd be frigging easier if I was," she mutters.

by **Vertie Easley** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 7:25 pm

"Well..I can't help you the usual way, but do you know what sets you off? There's always a trigger. Are you food guarding? I do that sometimes...then again Gar's a food bully."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 7:33 pm

"Maybe you are a shifter and you just don't know it yet?" Alex suggested, 'helpfully'.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 7:35 pm

"With my luck I'd find out at a super-awkward time."
