Cafeteria - Feed the Beast

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.

"In demand," Murphy teases. She's also glaring at Haley a bit.

Haley noticed the glare and shrank in her seat a bit. The he'll? she thought to herself.

Apparently, it was just a warning glare. Murphy seemed to settle now that Haley had backed down. She doesn't seem to notice Brigid's confusion and returns to eating,

Haley kept her head down and ate her sandwich in silence for a good minute after the glare, feeling oddly unsettled by the older girl's glare.

"So...uh...when did you wanna try and go shopping, Brigid?" she finally asked, looking back across the table with a tentative smile.

"That should be a fun," she nodded, her smile broadening. She seemed to be actively avoiding looking back towards Murphy.

"We could invite other people too and stuff..."

"Is there a physical activities you want to do? Not to be rude, but you may never look like Brig, may just not be in you, but if you chose like...a 20 min run without loosing breath, that's a better goal. I used to be able to keep up with Gar for an hour without needing a break. I want to get back to that."

"I'm scrawny! Want to have muscles at least a bit like closer to Brigid 's," she smirked. "Running's no problem. Me and Sackville run like at least two or three miles almost every day."

"It's okay to admire her, but she does have genetics on her side too. Ever see her parents? Just saying." Vertie just gave a little shrug.

"You're small, like me. Flexibility, agility and speed may suit your body best. Definition will come when you use your muscles more. Consider your legs, killer, from running." She smiled.

The head off Murphy's fork snaps off and goes flying across the room.

"Oops," Murphy says. She glances at Haley. "Be right back."

Murphy gets up and heads to the line to get some new silverware.

"I'm not sure...might be a wolf thing...be right back." Vertie smiled at Haley and trotted up to Murphy, power up and running. She was trying not to be invasive, but she was warm and concerned. "Got trouble?"

"Crazy. Lot of "werewolves" here, I guess," she said back to Brigid, making finger quotes. "Maybe she was who I was hearing the other day when my telepathy was sucking...heard like this crazy growling."

"Fine," Murphy says. She didn't feel fine. Vertie could read Murphy like an open book and the girl was feeling very protective of Brigid.

"Telepathy is...weird. So much like. Metaphor and twisting your brain weird ways just to avoid hearing what everyone around you is thinking. And people look at you funny cuz they wonder if you're snooping in their brain. And sometimes you are and its so shitty because I don't want to hear people thinking all unfiltered and shit. Think about all the times you like...want to say something but then that voice in the back of your head says "oh hell no, don't say that, that'll get you slapped." I used to hear all that shit all the time before I got a little bit better at all this shit."

She finished her sandwich. "I'd give away my telepathy in a heartbeat."
