Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie is here in the rec room playing a bit of pool. He has today off from his jobs, and is just taking a day to hang out. He bobs his head a bit and if you were to look closely would see he is wearing one ear pod.

Tabitha Smith has posed:
Tabby on the other hand had been saddled with what seemed to be all the chores today and it's probably the first break she's had. Clingy almost cow printed cargopants and an XAVIER'S hoodie cobvering her in yellow with red text. "Sam, how the hell you aren't just sleeping with all the stuff you got busting your hump I don't know." she says playfully grabbing herself a juice box of all things from the nearest fridge. Though she does double check that it is juice and seems disappointed but accepting. She has yet to find winecooler in the same sized little boxes. There's probably a reason for it.

Iara Dos Santos has posed:
     Iara walks in wearing extra-plus-size Baby Shark pajama pants she found somewhere along with an oversized T-Shirt that must have been custom printed because it says "THIS MUTANT IS KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CONTAIN HIGH AMOUNTS OF HEAVY METAL" on it. She yawns extra-wide with her big ol' shark jaws as she walks in behind Tabby and then blinks at the pool balls, making a face and saying "Why are they the wrong colors?" before grabbing a stick of beef jerky from the snack bar, pausing, and grabbing a second before heading back over to Sam and the game, watching him make his next shot.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie looks over and reaches up to tap his earbud as people are talking to him. He smirks a bit to Tabby and says "Sleep, gave it up for lent." He jokes a bit but does smile and picks up his tea to take a sip, and to Iara he will say "This is Pool, or Billiards, your thinking of Sinuca brasileira which is closer to snooker. The man's best friend is a Brazilian so seems Sam at least think he knows what the shark is talking about.

Tabitha Smith has posed:
"There's more than one game that can be played on a pool table. Sometimes the don't use the standard bigs and smalls. Or solids and stripes bepending where you learned. Billiards, snooker." she explains with a grin. "Four ball, eight, nine." she adds. and hmms as she tries to remember any other variation. "But we can pretty much rack up for anything. But this is the Xavier School, if anything, we can make jokes about racks." she points out and grins.

"Sadly we're still adjusting to the new table after we, and not just me. I mean it was my boom that kept most folks bar a Madrox dupe alive, but it was a team effort, blew the old one up." sad time, but the rec room looks like nothing changed after the forced renovation.

Iara Dos Santos has posed:
     Iara's shark face squits and her nose scrunches a little as she peers at the table with her friends' explanation, but then nods, saying "Oh, huh, I see..." She then smirks to Tabby, wrapping an arm around her and squeezing her into the shark mutant's side, saying "After Carnival a few days ago, I feel like there's never enough jokes about racks. You should've seen it. I had a big fake beard and everything in shark mode, people loved it." She seems drowsy for sure, but soon tears off the plastic covering the jerky sticks with her teeth and bites a chunk out of both sticks at once, barely chewing before she swallows, saying "I would've invited folks but I figured there was no way I could get you all a ride, unless you wanted to sit on my back for an entire day, and even then, I haven't gone that far without sleeping halfway through... I can swim while sleeping y'know. Funny thing that. I'm usually swimming slow circles in my tank while sleeping downstairs... But uh, anyway."

     Shark-Girl smirks at Cannonball, saying "You ever put bets on the balls, Sam?"

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie smirks a bit and says "A time or two." He will tell her. The fact part is his power is either going through things or bouncing things off others. He says "You do know we have a couple of teleporters about right?" That is how he gets to Brazil about half the time, other would be Berto's private jets.

Tabitha Smith has posed:
Tabby nods her head with a snappoint to Sam. "I think we also missed Mardis Gras, but there's always another one. Getting around is as easy as Sam said, make a good argument for why a teleporter would come. Big ass street parties help. Most of the time." she states and nods her head. "Last year I managed to use the Blackbird for a spring break trip. I mean we did rescue some kids, and a donkey, but we had time before hand. It was amazingly easy to convince Jean. We may do another trip somewhere warm again." she points out.

Iara Dos Santos has posed:
     Iara blinks, saying "I... didn't think of using a teleporter, but I also wouldn't want to impose. Besides, I have to work off all this meat I eat now somehow..." She shrugs helplessly and smirks, but then sighs, saying "Well, go on then Sam. I want to see you make a shot. Show us how you handle that wood." It's weak, but it'll do, the shark is tired.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie smirks a bit and says "Never had any complaints." He does look over to Tabby, but doesn't say anything on that one. He will line up a couple shots shooting the 2,3,4 and 5 balls in a row before having to pause to consider how to make his next shot. "Yea, we think Teleporter easier probably cause of Illy." He admits.

Tabitha Smith has posed:
"Can confirm!" Tabby adds with a wink to Sam. The pun might have been weak but the blonde can run with it. "First hand knowlede." Ex-girlfriend experience. "She's still usually good for it if the extraplanar dangers in realms no man is meant to tread don't get up in her and her husband's grills. But there's also Megan when she turns up. Kurt's short range so he's better being designated pilot flying us home. Umm who else. Not Telford. He's an asshole even if he has range."

Iara Dos Santos has posed:
     Iara looks wide-eyed as Cannonball sinks those shots, and would whistle in approval if she could. "Droga." she says, "That's... Damn. I was thinking about a stupid lewd bet, but it's no fun if you're gonna win that handidly. Oh well." She stretches a bit, her shirt lifting to show the slightest hint of gray scales on her sides before she flops back down on the couch, saying "But yeah, I'll definitely see if I can pester Illy into teleporting us next time, I feel like a moron for not thinking of that..."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie looks over and says "And Lila, if she is in sector, but you have to take a side trip to the sphere or somewhere along the way." He offers. Yea Sam is more likely to call his other ex than this ex would be to call her. "Well Iara you got to remember we have a few years doing this type of things. There was one year we had to chase Lock down when he got in a shift off with this other shape shifter." He says of a story.

Tabitha Smith has posed:
Both Sam and Tabby had grown up with Roberto enough to know what Droga translated to from Portugese. "We've also had to step up out game so we can try and beat Scott at this. Those eyebeams he can ricochet everywhere, your only hope is going first. He can apply that to pool. I wasn't always able to move my bombs telekinetically either. So I had to also learn how to apply spin physics. You should see me throw a curveball!" she points out with more than a little pride.

"Lila Tours are great, space rock star parties." she points out with a sagacious nod of her head.

Iara Dos Santos has posed:
     Iara gives another big yawn, and then moves behind Tabby to hug her from behind into her soft, pillowy chest that smells like brine. "Well, hopefully I'll last long enough that I'll have stories like this with you guys too." she says, and then releases Tabby to give Sam a hug too, saying "I'm really glad I've met all of you, I wasn't really going anywhere before I became a mutant but man... this year... Porra, it hasn't even been a year. This three quarters of a year has been crazy but I wouldn't give it up for anything. But now, I need to sleep, badly, heh. I'll see you all tomorrow." With that, she releases Sam, and then makes her way out, tossing the wrappers from the jerky sticks in the bin before she goes.
