Cast of Characters: Tynan Ireton, Piotr Rasputin, Noriko Ashida, Gabby Kinney




Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Well, its been a few days since meeting Lang, and Ty has been driving around Westchester. Her Ducati Superleggera V4 seems to purr as she drives past the Xavier School. The woman pauses a moment, and decides to double back. She's always heard stories about the school where she lived. The woman takes a moment to look at the gate, and drives through.

    Tynan drives up towards the front of the school, but stops just outside the front porch. She hits the kickstand, and removes her helmet. She doesn't look like a threat, but then again, this school knows that looks arn't everything. The woman seems young, and looks to be very athletic as well.

Piotr Rasputin has posed:
The door opens, out comes the large russian X-Man, he isn't dressed for battle, its not like people just wear their uniforms all the time. Instead he is dressed in simply jeans and a t-shirt, tight on his large muscled frame, its not easy to find shirts his size after all.

He takes a couple of steps down the stairs as Tynan takes her helmet off, "Greetings and welcome..." he greets tentatively, "How can I be of assistance?" he wonders of the stranger with a hint of caution.

Noriko Ashida has posed:
Most students don't even know about the secret sub-levels of the school, so Noriko isn't surprised when she sees Piotr /not/ in battle dress, but she does tilt her head at his outfit.  She's on her way in from one of her runs.  She zips up to stand just over Piotr's shoulder, simply appearing there to those without the powers to track her at speed.  She isn't faster than light, but eyes just aren't built to deal with it.

"Nice bike!" she calls out after zipping around down to look at the bike up close.

Gabby Kinney has posed:
"Hi!" Comes a cheery voice from on high. Out of nowhere. It's really hard to pinpoint where it's coming from since it sounds like it's coming from thin air. Or just air.. upwards actually.

Perched on the roof just above the door entrance is Gabby with short legs dangling well off the ground. She grins brightly, leaning forward juuust a tad to peer down at the newcomer and bike below. As well as Noriko and Piotr.

"So I heard this Santa guy comes in through chimneys which is totally a security risk and I can assure you that there is no way anyone is getting in through any chimneys on this roof. Nope. There is NO WAY anyone, even someone small, can get in through the chimneys."

Leg swing.

"So I'm kind of stuck. Help?"

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Ty starts to say something, and then another girl seems to just appears next to the Russian. The woman blinks a few times, and coughs a few times. Ty suddenly steps back as the woman appears next to the bike. "Oy!", she says, surprised. That sounds...irish, yet the woman looks asian. "It is. Its a Superleggera. Ducati made about 500 of these, and its got a TRT dashboard.", she tells. The woman looks at Piotr a moment. "Even for russians, you're a big lad.", she says.

    "I was around, and heard a lot of stories about this place. I wanted to visit this place while I was in town.", Ty says. The woman looks up at another woman..."Wha? Security risk?", she asks. THe woman blinks a few times.

Piotr Rasputin has posed:
Piotr Rasputin is about to say something to Ty when he hears Gabby above, there is an exhale of disbelief, but of course he should be used to this sort of thing. "Alright alright, hop down, I've got you." he says rather matter of factly as he holds his arms out looking up at the girl.

To Ty he says, "There are many stories. Not all stories are true, some are...many not. What sort of stories have you heard so fantastic to come here?" the Russian wonders.

Noriko Ashida has posed:
"Santas are fat and hang out at malls Gabby.  I think all that talk is just so kids think he's as cool as the flying reindeer."  Noriko has the faintest trace of a Japanese accent herself, but is completely fluent in English, something someone from that region of the world might more easily detect.

"Cool.  I don't know what any of that means," Noriko says with no concern.  She doesn't seem surprised by surprising the crap out of someone.  The blue-haired teen squints.  There's nothing she can really do for Gabby that would be even remotely effective next to Piotr, so Nori doesn't even bother.  But she does zip back up to wait for Gabby to get down.  She looks a bit older than the cheerier climber.

Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney looks... well, not old at all. She was tiny even for her age. When Piotr lifts his hands she does just as asked by pushing off from the roof to just drop down toward him with no hesitation or fear in spite of the height. It helped he was tall to begin with but it was still a decent drop.

"Thanks! Hi Nori! Hi stranger!" She greets cheerily again with a wide carefree grin. A glance is given to the large Russian that is helping her down though with eyebrows raising. "Stories? This isn't about that time I made the re-creation of the Yellowstone Super Volcano using mentos and Diet Coke is it?"

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Ty blinks a few times as she watches. The...woman just dropped down to Piotr without hesitation. "I...yeah, I heard this was a school for mutants. But yeah, that wasn't exactly a trust fall type of thing...", she says. The young mercenary just takes a deep breath, just kinda in shock over what just happend. And how the other two just seem to take it in stride. The woman gets off the bike, and puts her helmet on the handlebars.

    "I'm just a little confused by everything that just happend.", she says. Ty takes a moment to shake her head a bit. "I would say from where I heard that story, but I don't want to get into a fight.", she says.

Piotr Rasputin has posed:
Piotr Rasputin catches Gabby rather easily and sets her down to the side. He turns back to Ty as she mentions the school for mutants and he gives her his full attention once again. "It is a school for the very gifted." he replies as a means to respond. It is a school for Mutants, but with that comes its own dangers.

"It is good that you don't want to fight, I would prefer we not fight as well." Piotr adds, "I'm pleased to hear that you didn't come here looking for trouble." he says it in a way, you know the way, like a warning...dont be looking for trouble.

Noriko Ashida has posed:
A school for the gifted that isn't publicly advertised as anything for mutants, or dangerous/troubled ones, so Noriko squints, and then even more when the woman says she doesn't want to start a fight.  "Not sure what's confusing.  She dropped and he helped her," as if it were as clear as the sky is blue.

"Why do you want to visit a school of f-gifted kids?"  Cough.

Gabby Kinney has posed:
"Oh, I do acrobatic stuff all the time," Gabby assures as Piotr sets her down. A quick smack or two of her rear gets some of the roof dust and debris off her rear and sides. "Gymastics, you know?" Again she grins flashing her teeth. It's a bit unnerving now that she was easier in view with that big a smile tugging at the scars on her cheeks. Glancing at Noriko she reaches out to fist-bump the older girl's arm lightly.

"Hey now, no pet names for us," she teases lightly. "But yeah most of us have some kinda skill. I'm good at gymastics, Noriko's good at running, Piotr's an artist."

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Ty takes a deep breath, and focuses a little bit. Her face and body doesn't change, but there's a difference in how she's standing, and then she seems to squint. Almost...exactly like Noriko. Then she closes her eyes, and then takes another breath. Suddenly she seems to be full of energy, and grinning. She seems to swat her rear to get rid of invisable debris. Exactly...like Gabby was. The way that Piotr speaks...Ty looks at him a long moment. For a brief second, there's a different look to the woman. As if there was something triggered there. The woman shakes her head a bit, and that moment seems to pass.

    "I just got the states not to long ago, and still new to everything around. My bosses already set me up with a place to stay. Just was looking around, and heard the stories.", she says. The woman takes a deep breath for a moment, trying to keep her body calm.

Piotr Rasputin has posed:
"Not painting as much as I'd like." Piotr sighs truthfully, but his eyes never quite leave Ty. "Bosses." Piotr repeats the word. Bosses can be dangerous, his eyes squint a bit but then relax. "Well, as you can see...yes, there are students of a great number of gifts here. We are proud of our beautiful home and protect it fiercely...but also welcome those that would embrace it as well." he acknowledges. "The dream is not for everyone but perhaps...some day."

Noriko Ashida has posed:
Well Nori was more just practicing a rare amount of self-restraint, specifically in the moment, but no one sane who knew Nori would assume so.  "Pet names?"  She's speaking fast, totally not fully processing before speaking.  "I do more than just run," she frowns, though control over those other things?  Meh.  Noriko gaze swings sidelong, side to side, but settle quickly on Ty when the woman seems to have a familiar expression.

Noriko frowns, naturally suspicious and distrusting of strangers.  "Really?  You think I wouldn't notice you mocking us?" she outright declares before zooming to stand about five feet from Tynan with her metal gauntleted fists on her hips, one dropped slightly as she shifts her weight.  "You come here just to laugh at the freaks?"  Electricity nearly grows up her arms in a strange display of her powers, something she doesn't notice.  The electricity unfolds like a bunch of interleaved jagged threads revealing themselves before dissolving with a crackle, a cascade of pops, like a billion knuckles cracking.

Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney blinks a single slow time when the woman that had shown up starts to act entirely different. First like Noriko, and then herself, which garners a slow inhale of breath. Unlike Noriko she doesn't freak out at least. She just seems to grow suddenly more serious as she shifts her weight so one leg leads in front of the other. It was habit. Be on guard. Even so she tips her head to the side slightly watching with a half smile. No anger here. Nor accusation. Just preparedness in case of anything odd.

When Noriko rushes over and starts to get prickly she glances up to Piotr lightly clearing her throat. "You wanna stop that or should I?" she asks hooking a finger toward Noriko. "I mean, you know how I'd do it, but you might ... conduct a different reaction?"

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Ty raises an eyebrow a bit. Ok, they seem to really be on edge of her. Not quite what she was expecting. "A speedster with lightning based abilities?", she asks. The woman settles herself a little bit. "Maybe this place has yet to encounter anyone who has photographic reflexes. My mutant ability is copying the physical actions of others.", she tells. The woman looks at Piotr a long moment, before she sucks in a breath. She tries to speak a little russian, but its very broken, and street-ish. Like it was more second hand learning then properly taught. <Does this one look for fight?> is asked of Piotr. Ty takes a deep breath, and lets out a slow breath. Her stance doesn't change, but her eyes look hard. Eyes of a soldier...

Piotr Rasputin has posed:
"Noriko." Piotr says calmly, carefully. "We don't know her intentions at all yet. She claims she doesn't want to fight...and we don't either." the russian reminds. He furrows his brow listening to the russian, but out of courtesy for his compatriots he responds in english yet. "Sometimes fights are brought to us. Sometimes a great amount of hatred is shown this way. You can imagine the effect it can have."

He takes a few slow steps forward, "But, we are here to teach, it is a school. We will fight if we must, defend our own with all our strength. We hope this is not that sort of visit." he sort of gestures Noriko back to him, to de-escalate.

Noriko Ashida has posed:
Contrary to popular belief, Noriko does actually listen to the faculty at times, especially when she's not in motion or oops already in motion.  Noriko stares Tynan down first as if trying to figure out if the girl's bullshitting or not.  "Yeah okay.  Whatever," still slightly sour at the Russian flying around.

Noriko walks back at normal speed as if some kind of protest.  It takes effort to do that.  Intermittent bolts sparsely shoot out away from the cuffs of her gauntlets across her skin like a storm grumbling as it dies down.

Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney stays where she's at while Piotr works to diffuse the situation with the unknown woman. "We get ... well, it's been troublesome around here lately. Some of us are on edge," she explains with a small shrug.

A single hand lifts to scratch at her cheek before her fingertip dips down between her lips to lick quickly. Just in time for the grumpy Noriko to rejoin her back behind the safety of the Adult On Duty. "Relax, Nori!" She suggests quietly in an attempt to soothe the teen.

And then in an attempt to get her TO relax she sticks her wet finger right into Noriko's ear giving the girl a wet willy. Because that is such a great idea.

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Ty looks at the ground, and shakes her head a bit. "Yes, I know its hard to believe, but it is a real mutant ability. And why would a school with a gate have any issues?", she asks. "I mean, you just lock the gate, and the issue is solved.", she tells. The woman softens a little bit, and leans on her bike a bit. She hasn't tried to walk towards the school, given how the three are tense. The woman shakes her head a bit. "Alright, so maybe I didn't come off on the right foot, given I didn't want to say where I was from, but does the name Madripoor mean anything?", she asks.

Piotr Rasputin has posed:
"Madripoor, ye....s..." Piotr is immeadiately distracted by Gabby choosing to give Noriko a wet willy, "Really...must we..." he begins but he doesn't even begin to finish his chastisment of the teen mutants before he just gives up and exhales once more.

Noriko Ashida has posed:
"Ah!"  Noriko doesn't see the wet willy coming.  She's too busy doing an angry Eeyore thing.  She bursts with electricity and it all gets drawn to that leeettle intruding finger like it's being sucked out in a flash.  A flash because Noriko shoves Gabby off of her, and the words zip out of her nearly too fast to hear as she speed stumbles away, "Sorry-sorry-sorry..."

Gabby Kinney has posed:
"Wait, Madripoo--OoOoOF!" There's an audible zap where Gabby's finger stuck into Noriko's ear. The hair frazzles up on the back of her neck as she stiffens with a strange look across her face as she seizes up. Then Noriko has pushed her away, and she falls to the ground sucking in several quick breaths.

From her spot on the ground she lifts her opposite hand to give a thumbs up. "I'm fine! Can't feel it!" She assures with a laugh at the antics herself. Nevermind that. "I know Madripoor. Got a rep among the, uh, prior employers of mine. Some of my sisters had to do a job there once."

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Ty looks at Gabby a long moment, and seems to take a step back. "People don't do jobs there. Anyone who knows the place knows what it is.", she says. The woman takes a deep breath. Now she's on guard of Gabby. Yeah, she wasn't scared of Piotr, or Nori's lightning, but she's definitely on edge of Gabby taking about her family doing jobs in Madripoor. Ty definitly does fit the oddity of the place though. She speaks with an irish accent, yet looks asian. "Thats my home, in Low Town. My dad move there after the Ceasefire in his home, Ireland.", she tells.

Piotr Rasputin has posed:
Piotr Rasputin shakes his head for a moment watching Gabby and Noriko's exchange. He returns his attention then to Ty, "Well...there is a great deal of trouble that comes from your home." he says honestly, "I hope that isn't trouble being brought here. I'm going to trust you when you say you are not here for a fight." he adds. "If you are here for more....something different, perhaps hope. Well...we have that too."

Noriko Ashida has posed:
Even though Nori knows about Gabby's powers, it doesn't stop the sudden primal fear that kicks in when one thinks they've hurt someone horribly.  Noriko's heart is racing, even for her.  She missed the whole thing about Madripoor.

"Thanks for not shish kabob-ing my head."  Nori would help Gabby up, but, that's probably not the brightest idea.  Suddenly Nori blips into having a branch like a bad video stream.  Where'd she get that?  From the /forest/?  Where bad things lurk?  She holds it out to Gabby to give her a 'hand' up.

Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney levers herself up onto her elbows easily enough in spite of having just gotten electrocuted mere moments before. If anything she looks as if she really didn't feel it as she claimed. "Yeah, it's complicated. They weren't nice jobs. I'm not in that business," she assures with green eyes fixing on Ty. There's no malice or threat there which might make it more unnerving. "I'm just a student here." Here she pauses to glance at Noriko, and then to Piotr, before adding, "They don't do those sort of jobs either."

With such assurances given she grins at Noriko's attempt to help her up. The branch is taken hold of to help her get up. "Ah, I wouldn't do that! I kind of expected a jolt anyway," she admits with a cheeky grin at having decided to do it anyway. "Got you to calm down though!" Sorta. She jerks her thumb back toward the school with one last look around. "Love to stay and chat but I'm starving so I'm gonna go nab a sandwich."

Noriko Ashida has posed:
"Yeah..."  Calm down.  Noriko sighs.  "I...gotta go do homework."  She gets done with her homework fast or at the last minute...second really.  It's a stupid excuse for her to probably go take care of all this excess charge that's been mounting or some other mischief, something that will get her mind off of the consequences of wet willies and almost frying her little buddy, feel it or not.

"I'll see you.  Bye teach, bike girl."  Then she's off!              

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Ty watches the antics, and decides that it might be best to hit the road. The woman grabs her helmet, and puts it on. She takes a deep breath. This place is definitly on her list of places to watch for a minute or 10. She starts the engine, and gives a slight 2 finger salute before spinning the bike, and driving away. This was definitly a visit she had to make.
