Sept 17th - Smell like I sound.

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 17th - Smell like I sound.

Postby Brigid Plunder » Mon Dec 01, 2014 5:09 pm

Brigid makes her way back down to the common room after having gotten her walking papers. She's freshly showered with a change of clothes that might seem a little more adventurous than she's usually worn. At the least they're a little closer-fitting, and she's eschewed the bulky sweaters and sweatshirts she usually wears. Likewise, the glasses stayed behind in her room.

"God, that feels better. I was going stir-crazy back there."

Kay can't help but stare a little when Brigid comes back out. "Did you go through your roommate's stuff?" she asks once she regains her composure.

Word apparently traveled, and word of people being hurt and released doubly so. Alex made his way in, trying to not look like he'd hurried from his room (which he had). "Brigid? They said you got hurt, are you..." He stopped, blinked. Wwwwwwow.

"I, uh, heard a monster bit your hand off. So... Just glad that it didn't." It wasn't the best lie, but would Brigid be able to tell?

"It's kind of a long story. Steph went to talk to the headmistress about it."

It hasn't really occurred to her that she didn't call Detention Oprah by her proper title.

"Well, it works," Alex said, more than a little confused, but damned if he was going to fall too far behind here. He shot Kay a 'the hell is going on?' look behind Brigid's back.

Meanwhile Kay is having a hard time not staring at Brigid's abs, trying to remind herself that she has a girlfriend. A telepathic, precognitive girlfriend.

"I already told you the parts that I know. It was a wolf the size of a frigging truck. It's got something to do with Norse myth. There was some whammy we put on it that made it go away. I don't really know why that worked, yet."

"Hand's fine though," she says, holding it up for emphasis and wiggling her fingers.
