Cast of Characters: Kitora Alua, Monet St. Croix




Kitora Alua has posed:
Kitora Alua is trying something new - she's calling it a form of training. Kitora is wearing a swimsuit - a bikini but somewhat modest, and is standing on the bottom of the swimming pool, glowing bright red as she tends to do, making the entire pool glow eerily. She nods as she is walking around as if going through air, and isn't coming out. She's aparently been doin this for at least 5 minutes at this point - for some reason nobody else was around the pool for now.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix is coming out to the back pooldressed normally. She would glance over at Kitora, "I don't believe we've met." She doesn't add a 'hello' to that or introduce herself. Her tone is flat and barely acknowledging the other girl there.

Kitora Alua has posed:
Kitora Alua just blinks as she sees someone else waving at her. She tilts her head - she can't hear you that way. She then simply rises up and hovers right above the water's surface, pretending to stand on it. "Oh hi there," she states softly. "Couldn't hear you down there." She smiles widely, knowing that hse looks rather eerie with her powers online - glowing dull red wtih, somehow, brighter red glows visible through her arms, legs, chest, and head. "I'm Kitora." She floats over to the pool deck, lands, and then the aura of power winks out, and she looks like a relatively normal Asian redhead as she extends her hand.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would evaluate the girl, "I am M." Not quite elaborating over beyond that. "You are new at teh school?" A polite inquiry. She'd probably read the other girl's file; but it was one of those 'social mores' that was taught so fastidiously for proper etiquette. "I hope in turn that you are acclimating well."

Kitora Alua has posed:
Kitora Alua just stares at you. "No - I've been here for years." She then blinks. "I don't think I've seen you either, 'M'." She then frowns. "At least you didn't call yourself Q. Half-surprised someone here isn't trying to play that character from Star Trek. And yes, I'm quite happy here. I was seeing how long I oculd maintain my life-support aura without getting tired. Was up to 10 minutes."

Monet St. Croix has posed:
M's face would remain neutral over as she would keep her face flat, "It is a very large school with a diverse student body of unique makeup that is constantly changing thanks toc urrent experiences." She would affirm. "And I am Algerian, not British. Nor do I prefer to modify aging Aston Martins with built in machine guns. They're rather gauche and handle terribly."

Kitora Alua has posed:
Kitora Alua smiles. "Wrong Q. I was thinking of the trickster god from Star Trek who has the power to change reality." She smiles softly. "Wow - remind me never to play poker with you - that's QUITE some poker face."

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would shrug, "THe planet has been invaded by enough elder beings of various immortal natures that try to inflict misery or conquest upon the planet to wish to add another one to the list. Loki did invade Earth a few years ago." she would go, "And thank you. I am good at many things."

Kitora Alua has posed:
Kitora Alua nods. "Why do all the intergalactic threats come HERE?" she asks softly, grumbling. "Anyway - have you been around here long?" she asks, deciding to turn the tables. "never seen you before - though you seem a bit old to be a schoolgirl..."

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would shrug, "This planet is our only base of comparison. I'm sure that in a galaxy of millions, if not billions of inhabited planets there are plenty of others which come under frequent assault, invasion, or annexation. And I am a graduate here of the institute. I came here for college." She says that carefully. As she did all things.

Kitora Alua has posed:
Kitora Alua shrugs. "Fair enough." She then smiles. "Want to go for a dip?" she asks as she retreats to the edge of the pool. "Oh right, you're not dressed for it. So... what's your major?"

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would shrug, "I had one in general studies. I'm here to mostly experience the city and see what sorts of things I wish to do with my life." A very, very artfully crafted lie. But one that works well enough with someone she doesn't know.

Kitora Alua has posed:
Kitora Alua nods. "Well - I need to get back. Seeing if I can go half an hour." She then slowly starts to sink back into the pool, waiting to see if you have any last comments before she sinks fully.
