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.

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

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.

Obviously those people are touched. You got cool powers?

Pop music kinda bypassed me - even with the implants I can never really hear the words. But celebrity and all, what's not to get excited about?

Is she one of those a-holes that think just cause they're rich and famous they're all that?

If you call glowing randomly cool, sure.

See, that was my thinking! Only I got shut down by the cooler-than-thou peeps here. Apparently celebrities are a dime a dozen.

And, um, no, she totally doesn't. She's pretty cool and down to earth and all that. She just doesn't like people spazzing about her being famous. It's embarrassing or something. You totally assume the worst first thing, don't you?
