In the XUB

Ayami was sitting at the bar, again. Not much else to do in the summer, aye?

((open))

Claire walked into the bar, taking a seat not very far from Ayami and ordering a pint. She nodded a greeting to Ayami as she waited for her beer.

"Ah. It's you."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sat Aug 11, 2012 3:35 pm

"Unlikely that I'd be anyone else but me," Claire says, "How's it going?"

by **Ayami Morita** » Sat Aug 11, 2012 4:27 pm

"Eh, you know how it is. Slow."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sat Aug 11, 2012 4:35 pm

"Oh, come on. You must be having some fun."

by **Ayami Morita** » Sat Aug 11, 2012 9:33 pm

"What's there around here to do?"

by **Claire McKenna** » Sat Aug 11, 2012 9:48 pm

"I think there are classes," Claire said, "At least, I heard a rumor about them once."

by **Ayami Morita** » Sat Aug 11, 2012 9:58 pm

"Pfft. No one cares about those, here."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sat Aug 11, 2012 10:00 pm

"Which isn't a bad thing," Claire says, "Makes for an easy grading curve."

by **Ayami Morita** » Sat Aug 11, 2012 11:47 pm

"Depends on who you get, I suppose."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sat Aug 11, 2012 11:49 pm

"You've met a difficult professor here?" Claire asks in mock shock.

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 1:00 am

"They're all bastards of some description or another."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 1:07 am

"A very accurate and unbiased description, I'm sure," Claire says.

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 1:20 am

"Of course. I can read minds. Kinda."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 1:23 am

"Really? What am I thinking?" Claire asks.

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 1:31 am

"It's not thoughts, it's emotions."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 1:35 am

"Then...what am I feeling?" Claire asks.

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 1:55 am

Ayami looked at her, and shot her a tiny blast of excitement

"Little bit of excitement, but mostly just curiosity."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 3:29 pm

Claire looks confused for a moment but recovers nicely, "Well, that's kind of nifty."

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 3:38 pm

"Eh, I guess it comes in handy sometimes. Mostly just annoying, though."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 3:40 pm

"I hear that," Claire says.

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 3:41 pm

"Why, what do you do?"

by **Claire McKenna** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 3:45 pm

"I'm really hot," Claire says, "If I touched you without my gloves on, I'd probably burn you pretty bad."

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 4:56 pm

"Well, don't we have a high opinion of ourselves," she joked.

by **Claire McKenna** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 4:57 pm

"Never a bad thing to have a little confidence in yourself," Claire says.

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 5:04 pm

"A little, maybe. But around here, there's an epidemic."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 5:09 pm

"I'm not sure 'epidemic' is the right word," Claire says, "Confidence isn't exactly contagious."

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 5:12 pm

"You haven't been around here long, have you?"

by **Claire McKenna** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 5:28 pm

"You can tell by my sunny disposition and lack of tragedy, can't you?"

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 5:38 pm

"Pretty much. You should have seen ME when I first arrived. Now I just look around ..." she said, looking out the window at the quad.

by **Claire McKenna** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 5:41 pm

Claire punches Ayami in the arm lightly, "Quit being sad."

"Never helped anything."

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 5:57 pm

Ayami gave a derisive laugh. "Nothing to be happy ABOUT here. It's just one disaster after another."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 5:58 pm

"It's not so bad," Claire says, taking a drink of her beer.

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 7:53 pm

"Yeah, you just see the external scars."

by **Claire McKenna** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 9:09 pm

"Hon, internal scars are everywhere," Claire says, "No matter where you go, you'll be ripped apart, stamped on, and spit out into a cold street."

"Metaphorically speaking, at least," Claire admits, waving her hand around a bit.

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 10:04 pm

"That's been my experience," she nodded.

by **Claire McKenna** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 10:10 pm

"Exactly," Claire says, "But at least here, people are trying to make it a place that accepts you. No matter how fucked up and crazy you are."

"It's not perfect, but it's at least a step up from where I was before."

by **Ayami Morita** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 11:31 pm

"And where was that?"

by **Claire McKenna** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 11:31 pm

"With my parents," Claire says, making a face.
