Is this thing on?

[xp_echo]

So...Hi.

I'm Maya. Looks like I'm stuck here for awhile, and they told me I should introduce myself.

I'm deaf, by the way. So, you know, try to get my attention in ways other then just talking at me if you want me to actually interact with you.

I'm told I'm going to be in guest accommodation till we get the results of the gene test back, although I'm told the likelihood of me not being a mutant is pretty low.

No idea how long that takes so you should probably get used to me being around.

so....a deaf girl and a blind guy walk into a school....

I'm Matt. and yes, I'm blind.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

Did they need a set or something? What do you do around here?

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

buy one, get one free?

I'm a lawyer. I live in the city and go to Westchester on the weekends

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

Something like that. Gotta catch 'Em all?

Why would you commute like that? Or is this some sort of half-way house for mutants?

What's it like being a hot shot lawyer? You a good liar?

[x-dagger.livejournal.com]

At least you are open to the idea of being tested. I am Tandy, one of the many residences here. Don't worry we are nice people.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

Meh. It's either that or I'm spirit touched or something. Good to know either way.

Wouldn't not nice people say they were nice anyhow?

[x-dagger.livejournal.com]

If you are my uncle would love to meet you. He is a priest.

Probably. I don't think myself mean, just passionate.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

I like to avoid priests. They've got a bad habit of trying to convert me.

Any particular things you're passionate about? Or just in general?

Hey Maya, I'm Nica - I used to be the newbie here, until you showed up. ;) The place is all right, but don't try and make jokes or get too excited about things - the adults here are either incredibly literal, or are too old to be surprised by things.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

pfft. Only the weirdo ones.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

You speak as if all adults aren't 'weirdo ones'.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

Adults are weird. Is there a lot to be surprised by around here?

[xp_spectrum]

I would have said yes, there is, with the whole mutant thing, but apparently it's not cool to think powers and shit are awesome.

Also, Alison Blaire is a student here, if you know pop music at all. She doesn't like spazzing, tho', JSYK.

Hello! I think we're going to be suitemates!

I'm Rahne. I'm pretty new, too. I came from Scotland and, um, iturnintoabigwolf. Heads up and I'm so sorry about any fur in the rooms.

Everyone's been super nice and the kitchen is always full of really good food.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

It's entirely possible we will be. So, if I want to bribe you for completely legal and non nefarious purposes in the future I should feed you, right?

So, if you bite someone do they turn into a wolf too like on Teen Wolf or is this a special non-infectious wolfiness?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

So, semaphore flags for getting your attention, good investment?

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

Right, you're one of those.

Just make sure I'm paying attention, dumbass. I've got implants but they sound like shit so I usually have them turned off.

But if you want to talk to me I'll turn them on.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Right you know that 'flashy lights, colored cards and big gestures' -are- the 'how to get the attention of your deaf student' recommendations and you're just a brat, or do you have some kind of grudge?

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

I totally want to test you. GIVE ME YOUR BLOOD! or a cheek swab, I'm easy like that.

if you're a mutant, does that mean you pass or fail? hmmm....

I'm Clarice, the PA around here. And I don't need your silly test!

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

Are you normally this bouncey? I thought Doctors were meant to be serious.

You're the one that came to get me with Wade, yeah?

I'll come down and give you my blood whenever you're ready.

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

pretty much. and I'm doctor-lite. All the medical, no fancy title. I have glitter instead.

Yep! One pickup via Pixie-Express! The best way to travel!

woot! now? or are you all comfy and want to wait for the morning?

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

Hi Maya! Welcome to Xavier's.

My name's Cecilia. I'm a doctor in the medlab here.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

Do you prefer Ceclia or CeCe? Hi. Am I meant to come see you or anything? Clarice said she could give me the gene test.

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

Either one's fine - although I like to spell Cece with just one uppercase "C" so I don't feel like a poodle.

And no need! I was just saying hello.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Hi Maya, I'm Jean Grey. I'm one of the other doctors here as well. Since you've already got the rest of the team on your tests I'm just going to say welcome. :)
