---

Jubilation Lee has posed:
    Things have been weird for everyone in the wake of the alien attacks, but perhaps no one has had more weirdness attached to them than Jubilation. Rumors circulated that she had died, identified by Jean Grey as a Jane Doe found on the side of the road, and then... apparently she isn't. Rumors of her death have been exaggerated, she has been saying. Though, it's hard to ignore all the recent strangeness. There was a recent pool party for Ororo's birthday and she didn't attend. When has Jubilation Lee ever turned down a pool party?!

    Jubilation's attendance in the first week of classes has been poor. The only classes she has been attending with any regularity have been those in classrooms without windows. She has also been perpetually tired. Still, it would be impossible to ignore her new presence. She's prettier, with softer skin and smoother hair. She just has a glow about her, rendering her extremely pleasant to the senses. The weirdest thing, however, has been her homework. Rumor has it that she actually turned in her math homework and actually got some of the answers correct. Stranger still, it was done with a standard pencil and not a purple gel pen.

    This brings us to now. Jubilation is sprawled on one of the couches in the Recreation Room, one knee bent and one arm lazily dangling over the side. A younger girl from the Junior class is sitting there on the ground, dutifully painting Jubilee's nails. Another Junior is running a brush through her long, dark hair. The only thing missing is someone feeding her grapes, which would be utterly ridiculous given the circumstances.

Logan Howlett has posed:
The first week of classes had not included shop, Logan had been a running a little behind on getting back to the mansion and it had nothing to do with needing a new transmission for his truck while in the middle of the Arizona desert. He was back now, that's what mattered. Starting next week shop was open to everyone who wanted to take the class, and really even if there was only one student, that was fine.

Hearing whispers of students in the halls as he made his way out of the kitchen, he raises a brow. Why was Jubilation being pampered by students in the rec room? So with that though on his mind, he headed that way with a bottle of coke in his hand... school was in session, beer was for his room only now.

Entering the rec room silently, he paused in a place where he wasn't immediately visible to those on the couches, and sniffed the air. That just wasn't right, so he sniffed again. Sure enough, the first sniff was now thrown off, but he had no idea what it was that was out of place... yet.

Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney never was good at attending classes much herself always citing boredom. When you grew up in a lab where you were stuck in a room all day you never really wanted to stay around long. It had been tolerated the first year she was here, to some extent, because she actually did get decent grades. She was smart. Just. Bored of desks, and chairs, and walls. As she got older it was expected she'd settle in more to which she dragged her heels in annoyance. But. She was back. Again. Maybe it was just a familial trait to avoid schedules?

It's purely by chance she spots Logan going into the rec room. It had been ages since she'd seen him so she follows. Only to pause in the doorway at the sight within looking no small amount confused as heck. A single breath is drawn, held, and then let out--Not to sniff the air but to gather her thoughts.

"Uh. Did you and Noriko break up, Jubes? Because this is kinda sus looking." A glance aside to Logan has her shrug toward him in a 'right?' gesture.

Jubilation Lee has posed:
    Jubilation's head lazily turns to the side, giving Gabby a surprised look. The thought seems completely foreign to her. "Break up?" she repeats. "No way. She has not released her hold on me." A very vampirey way to interpret the feeling of 'love.' Jubes winces suddenly and gives a look at the student working on her nails. "Careful," she warns. Jubilation peers down at her nails and sighs. "Oh, go back to your rooms. I'll fix this later." She waggles her hand a little. Both of the students pampering her move to exit the room obediently.

    "Can't find good help these days, right?"

    Jubilation's arms stretttttch lazily above her head. She shifts so she's sitting up, creating more room for others. "Ooh, isn't it a little early for ---" Jubilee squints at the bottle in Logan's hand, now noticing that it's soda. "---oh. Never mind." She springs to her feet and stretches again. "Back for the new school year, Gabby?" she asks while reaching up to check her hair and pull it into a ponytail.

Logan Howlett has posed:
As the two girls move to leave, Logan sniffs a little at them, then looks back to Jubilation. Something wasn't right, he couldn't put his finger on it, but he could feel it, so he reaches out to stop one of the two leaving. Sure kids help one another out around here, but this read a little more like mind control, which he knows way too well. It's not part of Jubilations power set, but that doesn't mean she didn't gain something while he was gone.

"Hey kid, why you pamperin' on Jubilee like that?" he asks plainly, because it's often better to just get right to it. "You lose a bet or something?"

Again he looks back to Jubilation, then back to the kid, waiting for answer from one or the other.

Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney squints herself at Jubilee's response. Her mind is working. A lot. Not quite the way Logan's is, but she has her own kind of logic. Opening her mouth she's about to speak when Logan stops the girl going by only to turn and blink at them. Oh. Yeah that might give information too of course.

While Logan is questioning the kid she half-turns away so she's partially hidden from the others. A single, well-known sound comes as she pops a claw out only to quickly swipe it over the back of her opposite hand drawing blood. It wasn't a deep cut, or a dangerous one, especially with her healing factor. The important part is that it *does* bleed. The claw disapears and she inches closer to Jubilee.

"So... Jubes. Tell me. How does THIS work for ya?"

The bloodied hand is held out waving under her chin and nose like she were dangling a steak with a suspicious expression glinting in her eye. The fact that she'd half hunkered down as if she were sneaking albiet without actually sneaking gives away the fact that she's testing Jubilee in the most silly of ways. "Eh? Eh?"

Jubilation Lee has posed:
    While one student manages to get out of there, the other stops dead in her tracks and stares (up?) at Logan. She blinks her eyes. Moments ago, there was a vaguely vacant look hidden in there, but enough time has passed and clarity has returned. "Oh...Um..." She blinks again. "...I'm not sure." The student turns to look at Jubilation and Gabby. Jubes glances at the student, then Logan, and then back to the student. Jubilee gives a little bit of a nod. It's okay.

    "She told me to," the student replies simply. "But, um, can I go now? I really want to go back to my room." Just like she was told.

    Jubilation shrugs her shoulders and opens her mouth, as if to say something across the room to Logan, but instead her attention is drawn. There's a sudden sound of gasp. To say it's a real gasp would be incorrect, as this is just an affectation of life -- a habit that has not died off.

    The gasp is drawn out by Gabby's blood. Jubilation's chest tightens, her jaw clenches. Her lips curl as her tongue instinctively drags across them. Jubilee turns away from Gabby. "Looks like...." she tries. "...You need...." She clears her throat. "...a band aid...."

Logan Howlett has posed:
Logan nods to the girl, as he says, "Go on out, and hurry about it."

His eyes shift to Gabby, then back to Jubilee, "Oh hell..." he mutters, and now it all makes sense. The scent he was getting, the students compelled to wait on Jubilation. "Girl, or should I say, Vampire... you got some explaining to do. Gabby," he looks back to her. "Point made."

Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney holds her breath while just watching at that reaction. Yep. "Ah ha. Yeah you did die then. Just not..." She pauses when Logan lets her know her point was made. Oh, right. She should quit standing in that silly posture. Snatching her hand back she bunches up the edge of her shirt to wipe her hand off on it. It's a black shirt, it's fine. Besides, what was she going to do with a bloody hand anyway?

"So you coming into Noriko's room, the muddy footprints and you disapearing again. That was all legit. I thought it was weird..." she mutters shaking her head slightly. There hadn't been a lot of time for her to investigate, sadly.

Noriko Ashida has posed:
Classes.  Ugh.  Classes means Nori is significantly less rich because she can't pound on that delivery gig app she's been using.  Their stock has gone up since she hit the scene early summer.  They don't know it, but their fortunes are about to come back down to earth and their rep will be...inconsistent.

But enough about butterfly wings in Asia and all that.

Nori enters the room at a velocity she shouldn't and forgets to do her little catch the door and make it not fly open and break its own hinges thing.

WHAM!  Nori's already on the couch, lounging, when a toilet paper roll comes sailing from absolutely nowhere with a long long long tail on its trajectory toward Gabby.

Jubilation Lee has posed:
    Jubilee actually steps away from Gabby. Fortunately, Jubes is looking pretty damn good and not-at-all corpse like. She has recently fed and does not want to hurt her classmate. With her mouth hanging open, Jubilee looks back and forth between Gabby and Logan defensively. A pair of fangs can be seen, drawn out by the smell of Gabby's blood.

    "I didn't do anything," she tries. "...They asked me how I was and I said I'd be better if my hair was brushed and my nails were painted and they just started doing it." If people smell differently while lying, Jubilee at least /thinks/ she's telling the truth but dead bodies can be hard to read, can't they?

    Logan's free use of the V-word draws Jubilee's eyebrows upward. "Hey!" she protests. "That's /our/ word. You have no right to use it. It's offensive." Apparently the cat is out of the bag. "I don't have to stand here and take this..." she tries, apparently grabbing at straws. She's a confirmed vampire who has apparently enthralled some underclassmen. There's bound to be a rule getting broken here, so Jubilation tries to put up a front that it's /her/ who is the victim and not, well, everyone. Suddenly, Jubilee's arm extends in a blur and catches the toilet paper roll. She tosses it onto an empty spot on the couch and walks over to it, apparently distracted by something or someone. But what could that be?

    "Nori..." she sing-songs, suddenly distracted by the speedster's presence and, apparently, no longer phased that she might be on trial for her very existence here.

Logan Howlett has posed:
The quick movement triggers Logan, the adamantium claws shooting out in reaction which means the bottle of soda gets dropped. He's a jumpy man, one should not use vampire speeds around a jump man. Clearing his throat, the claws slide back into place before he wants toward Jubilation.

"Sit your butt down Jubilation," he orders gruffly, pointing to the couch. "Looks like we need to have a little discussion. You can try to play the victim, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize, you aren't, so plant it."

He pauses his approach when he reaches her, not touching her, just standing there and pointing at the couch. This really was not his sort of thing, he could list the rules that got broken, anyone could, but usually it was Scott, Ororo or Jean who dealt with this crap. With things as they were, the recent alien attack, and school starting, clearly /something/ had slipped through the cracks and that was the vampire Jubilation Lee in their midst.

Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney swipes her hand clean in time to see the blur that was Noriko come in. Along with a white streak coming her direction that was intercepted instead by Jubilee. An eyebrow raises at her friend's reaction only to earn a small nod of apparent understanding. "Ah, so you already know Nori." Clearly the toilet paper was so she could clean herself up, obvs. The logic between Noriko and her own thinking was usually pretty close for as long as they've known each other.

"So. Uh." Looking to Logan who is ordering Jubilee to sit she can only shrug helplessly. He was the one in charge here. "Probably best you found out instead of Illyana, or Rien," she reasons as the two might take offense to having a vampire around. Not that Rien was often in the area.

Noriko Ashida has posed:
Nori was supposed to be completely inconspicuous.  Never mind the fact that Nori not stopping to give Jubes a little stop-motion kiss on the cheek is rather conspicuous...at the very least.

SHOT BLOCKED.

THE COKE IS DROPPED.

CLAWS OUT.

Noriko also reacts.  There's only a flash of a grin before suddenly she is behind the couch, then back on the couch.  No one saw that (everyone did surely).  The coke is not rescued by the speedster and she says nothing even though everyone knows she could have and usually rescues dropped things.  Instead she's just smiling at Jubilation.  "Hey people," she says absently to Gabby and Logan.

Preoccupied with...herself and well, Jubes, Nori only half catches what is going on but oh so familiar to her.  Getting in trouble.  Dark eyes sprint from person to person looking like two larger blurred irises for a moment.  "What's going on?"

Jubilation Lee has posed:
    Jubes blinks her big brown eyes at Logan. It might be the imagination, but they seem bigger. Browner. More doe-ey. With a defiant, immature tuft of air, Jubilee lowers herself into a seat next to Noriko. "I didn't /do/ anything..." she insists, folding both arms across her chest. She killed a horse. She glamoured a bunch of students. She's a veritable creature of the night. But, her position is that she didn't do anything and she's sticking to it, apparently.

    Jubilee turns her head to look at Noriko, to tell her what's happening, but she's distracted and smiles instead. "They're calling me a vampire," she explains. The smile fades. Her eyes lift to watch Logan and Gabby. "...It's okay for me to say it." The v-word. She's totally leaving out the business of glamouring a few students to do her hair and nails.

Logan Howlett has posed:
Now that she's sitting, Logan remains where he was standing, keeping his eyes on her. Noriko's movements are noted, what he can see of then, but for the moment he's focused on Jubilation.

"I'm no expert on vampire," he states, still using the V word because that's what she is. "But I've dealt with a few in my time Jubilation, so cut the shit, stop the act. A spade is a spade, you're a vampire... which means, the dead horse is on you. It also means that you used those new abilities of yours on those other students," he gestures toward the way the students went. "and their still effected, so you best drop that now and let em be."

He glances for a moment to Gabby, then looks back to the teens on the couch. "Yeah, Illyana and Rien both woulda just tried to take her out, but I still might if I don't get her round to realizing she's not a victim, she's in trouble, and in danger."

Gabby Kinney has posed:
"Living impaired," Gabby corrects of Logan in an attempt to appease Jubilee. "With a thirst for... Wait, wait, this would totally fit Rob Zombie's 'Living Dead Girl' song." Her arms cross over her chest as she stands there, one hand raised to rub at her chin as if she were stroking a goatee. Which she isn't. She didn't have time to glue one on for this occurance.

To Noriko she adds, "Tiffany and Becca were doing her nails and brushing her hair when we came in. They're like all zombie-fied or something. I mean more than they usually are." Those two weren't known to be the brightest bulbs, even if they were nice girls.

"For realsie though, if this is a thing, then we oughta figure out how to handle it so you don't end up buried in someone's backyard with really large toothpicks in your chest."

Noriko Ashida has posed:
"Oh yeah.  You're totally vampire.  I mean..."  Noriko lifts an eyebrow to indicate some kind of something that must have happened.  Then the speedster smiles real big and says nothing, just way too sparkly eyed for a kid sitting in the presence of such a talking to, even if it isn't aimed at her.

"She doesn't know.  She didn't know, with the ho-"  It just comes out so fast and is immediately clipped off.  "What are you talking about?  Those kids are just sucking up to the RA."

Nori's demeanor changes on a dime, now defensive and the speedster is on her feet.  "We are handling it.  No more horses have died have they?"  Noriko looks around, looks at the door, not keen on anyone overhearing that Jubes might be responsible for Sergeant's demise and the now rampant horse PTSD in the stable.

Jubilation Lee has posed:
    A line draws across Jubilation's forehead as she pouts up at Logan. "Oh, come on, you wouldn't hurt me," she replies, apparently at the shop teacher's point about how he might take her out. "And I didn't /do/ anything, I swear to G-g-g..." She starts to uncharacteristically stutter at that word and instead just starts over and omits it: "...I swear." She really does look like she believes she's innocent of any wrongdoing.

    "I mean, I might have had something to do with that horsey, but..." The memories of that evening are cloudy. "...Haven't you ever been hangry?"

    Gabby's description of recent events causes Jubilee's mouth to open again, as if she wants to interrupt and protest, but all it really ends up doing is revealing that two of her teeth are fangs and have not gone away. "Yeah, well, Tiffany needs a lesson in manicures," Jubes mutters, holding up her hand so Nori can see what an awful job she had done. No complaints about Becca's job brushing her hair, though.

    Nori's comment about RA suckups gets a shake of Jubilee's head. "Oh, Nori, everyone knows that my authority as RA begins and ends at 'my roommate drank my soy milk.' I have no real power," she replies. Jubilee's eyes lift to watch Gabby. She stares, trying to work out what her angle is. Is she trying to be helpful? Is that a threat about the toothpicks? Jubilee squints and eventually breaks her silence. "...I'll be okay, Gabby..." she replies hesitantly. "I mean, I've never felt better." She extends an arm and lazily drags her fingers across Noriko's forearm.

Logan Howlett has posed:
Impatience is another issue that Logan suffers from, mostly because he doesn't like beating around the bush or waiting to see how long it takes for something to happen. Answers are sought constantly, not just to be questions forever. In his mind he was aware he was dealing with a teenager, but she wasn't just a mutant teenager any more, she was a vampire.

"Enough of this horse shit," he spits out, looking to Noriko. "Sit. Now."

Then he looks between Nori and Jubilation, "You're students in this school, that makes you my responsibility, and that of all the teachers here. I've got no idea why none of them have caught on to this, or why nothing's been done, but you are /not/ handling it. Jubilation Lee, you're informing the Headmistress, Ms. Monroe and Dr. McCoy of your current condition, and an answer will be found to solve it. You will /stop/ using your powers on the other students, starting NOW," that word was yelled. "And you will be attending detention every day for the next six weeks for not reporting your condition to the teachers and for controlling students. And finally, and you'll love this one... everyone in this school will be made aware of your condition to be protected against your abilities. Still want to argue with me about calling you a vampire or not? Still want to play the victim? Or shall you start acting like the smart young lady you are?"

Gabby Kinney has posed:
"Holy crap you were literally hungry enough to eat a horse." Gabby blurts it out just before Logan starts ihs list of new rules causing her to cringe just a bit. It's here she goes quiet letting him take the lead. He was the adult, and teacher, after all. She was just the friend of the recently deceased and her girlfriend.

Hesitantly after his remarks she adds, trying to be somewhat reassuring, "He's got a lot of points. I mean if something happened to you we should know how to help out, right? Can't do that the usual way anymore." Lightly her throat clears and she looks to her wrist at the non-existant watch there. "Lookit the time I should go do something somewhere else." Best to beat feet before she somehow got detention as well! d

Noriko Ashida has posed:
Noriko squints at the Tiffany-done nails.  "...it's an improvement."  Awww, Noriko's being sweet.  Jubilation's nails look like a five year old had a field day on them.  But she's right, Tiffany did keep it on the nail this time.

A bag of Cheetos ends up suddenly open in Nori's lap, a family sized fun bag one, sitting cross-legged on the couch all of the sudden.  Logan said sit, and apparently the speedster has enough respect for the guy to do so.  She's certainly not afraid of detention.

"Doc was running blood tests, but we hadn't put everything together yet.  I just figured it out like yesterday."  Is that true?  Was it yesterday?  Noriko isn't sure but just shrugs to her own thoughts, which surely won't do her favors.

"I think they know about it.  But I was going to tell Jubes and then we were-solve it?  She's not controlling anyone!"  Noriko is standing all of the sudden, then her eyes are wide, then she's back on the couch but she's blurrily tearing through that Cheetos bag...no...no. There's an empty Cheetos bag next to her.  They're multiplying.

Jubilation Lee has posed:
    Jubilee suddenly breaks into a smile. A silent laugh shows how much she appreciates Gabby's point about the horse. Without Logan here, she might've tried to make a point that not only was she hungry enough to eat a horse, she was actually hungry enough to eat a withered, old, cantankerous horse and not one of the prime cuts. The smile comes to a quick end when Logan shouts NOW.

    Jubilee's face wrinkles up in a look that only comes when someone becomes overcome with emotion and starts to cry. No actual tears come, but it really looks like she's crying. It's that sort of face that only a teenager can make when she's overcome with feelings of that she has been targeted by a suddenly unjust world. It's a face associated with countless 'it's not fair!' tantrums.

    "I didn't /do/ anything," she insists again. "I said I wanted to get my hair and nails done and then they just started doing it." Jubilee looks at Noriko for any help in this and then looks down at her lap. "I didn't hurt anyone." Jubilation folds her arms across her chest in a demonstrative pout. "Yeah, go, save yourself," she mutters despondently at Gabby. If detentions are being handed out, there's no reason to stick around.

    "I...I don't think...I wasn't..." Jubilation struggles to find the right words to defend herself, staring down at her lap. The thought that the entire student body would find out what she is? And what she did to that horse? When her gaze finally rises, she is crying. A single red streak drags down from each eye, as apparently the Damned cry blood. "Don't call me that," she tries, apparently all of the hellfire of her personality drained right out of her.

Logan Howlett has posed:
Finally Logan had her attention, the game was over. Kneeling onto one knee in front her, he reaches to take one of her hands if she lets' him.

Now he speaks more softly, "Listen Jubilation. This has got to have been a difficult situation, and sure, you've played the game and enjoyed yourself, but the game is over. You know what you did, you know what you are, but you also know you can't stay like this without telling the others. The world does not evolve around you, you are not the center of the universe."

He glances to Noriko a moment, the disappearing cheetos and actually takes a sniff at her, he just has to make certain because she shares a room and they are girlfriends.

Eyes go back to Jubilation. "Give me your RA keys," he then says. "Once you've told the teachers you need to tell, we'll talk about giving them back, but either you're doing shit to the other students, possibly even Noriko on purpose, or it's happening on accident, but either way, it can't continue."

Noriko Ashida has posed:
Noriko instinctively offers Jubilation some Cheetos, for comfort, angling the bag.  It only happens for a fraction of a moment and might come off as an out of place flourish instead, but then the bag is retracted.  "It's true.  She just said that and they started doing it.  I thought they were just all hero worshippy or crushing or something."  Which is clearly why she paid no attention to it.  Nori's not going to crush some little girl's dreams.  She's got Cheetos to eat...or something.

"So...we'll just figure that out and Jubes won't say anything around young impressionable emptyheaded people?"  Noriko's emotions are all over the place.  One moment she's fiery and defensive, the next minute sounding cooperative and hopeful.

"Jubes...Jubes.  You didn't mean to," Noriko reaches out to take the girl's hand, her focus completely swinging to the girl when her sails deflate.  "We'll just-we'll figure it out."  She reaches out to swipe away the blood.  Looks like someone needs to drink more water...or something.  A tissue box from across the room appears in place of the once vacant Cheetos bag's place.

Jubilation Lee has posed:
    Jubilation's hand is taken by Logan. Contrary to what one might expect, it's not cold. She listens, miserably, for a few moments until a chord is struck. "You think I'm enjoying myself?" she questions quietly. "Oh, hey, you died but, you know, fun's over? That's what you think?" She shudders a little as her memory of what crying is like starts to get muddled with her new life. She pulls her hand away fiercely, apparently no longer keen on Logan having it.

    Jubilation's head swivels between Logan and Noriko as they seem to negotiate her fate right in front of her. She doesn't look like she's enjoying it. Noriko's attempt to wipe away the blood tears draws a meek smile, though. "Nori... I would never..."

    The sadness see-saws back to the other side. Anger. She turns to Logan. "You think that if I had some kind of power over people I'd use it on /her/?" Jubilee questions. She stands up and roughly places her wad of dorm keys into the shop teacher's hand. "How could you even say that?" She takes a large, pointless breath and looks for the exit. "I swear... You're calling me a vampire but you're treating me like I'm some disgusting werewolf or something." Apparently the vampire-werewolf feud is alive and well, even among the new vampire diaspora.

    "Can I /go/ now?" she asks, apparently flipping back to the role of despondent teenager. "I want to get all my stuff packed for when you out me to all my friends."

Logan Howlett has posed:
Her suddenly standing forces Logan to his feet and to take a step back.

"You were sitting here, having your hair and nails done by under classmen, and you didn't think, in any way, that you weren't having fun or enjoying yourself? /THAT's/ what I meant Jubilation, not..." he sighs, muttering something under his breath as he shoves the keys into his pocket.

"Listen kid, I'm not telling anyone. You tell the teachers, they'll decide what happens next, alright? But whether you intended to do it, or not, something happened with those kids. I don't think for a single moment you enjoyed what happened to you, you misunderstood what I meant, and maybe I didn't say it so well, this shit isn't my specialty, but I'm trying, alright? You don't have to do this alone."

He looks to Noriko for a moment, "I can't know whose effected by these powers." then back to Jubilation. "For all I know, you could of effect teachers... I'm sorry that hurts you to say, to hear, but I gotta be thorough. Promise me kid, promise me you'll be more careful? That you'll tell the teachers?"

Noriko Ashida has posed:
"Well I'm not affected, and if the headmistress starts giving Jubes-"  Something makes Noriko stop and think for a whole second.  A whole second.  "I mean I get that but-"  Nori looks back to Jubilation and shakes her head, interrupting her own conversation constantly.  "Of course you wouldn't.  That's not who you are," she asides to Jubilation.

Nori makes a mental note that werewolves are...apparently, disgusting.  So, maybe no Sharks/Jets Werewolves/Vampires Halloween getups this year.  Too soon.

The comment about werewolves does cause Nori to stop in her tracks, somewhat confused.  And now Jubes looks like she's about to leave.  Noriko stands and looks to Logan, giving him a look of understanding, but whatever that vague look means, she doesn't enlighten anyone about.

Jubilation Lee has posed:
    "Yeah, well, I admit -- that's pretty damning," Jubilee mutters, looking away as she considers the optics of her being sprawled out on the couch while her hair and nails are being tended to by other students. "But they could have just wanted to do it. I don't know!" She practically stomps her foot at that, but, of course, doesn't. Every sigh, every breath, is a demonstration and, supposedly, not sustaining life.

    Jubilation doesn't immediately jet. No. As Logan's hard take on the matter softens a little, Jubilee stares up at him with sad eyes. He's trying, she realizes. Jubilation steps forward and hugs Logan tightly, her cheek going against his shirt. "I'll tell them. And I'll be careful, but... I don't know what I'm doing," she answers in a whisper. The shop teacher is released and then Jubilee heads towards the door. "C'mon, Nori," she mutters sadly. Pause. "...But only if you want to."

Logan Howlett has posed:
The hug surprises Logan, but not in a snikt sort of way, more in a 'holy softening mood batman!' way. For that brief moment he wraps one arm around her.

"I get it kid, you're trying to figure it out," he offers quietly. "We'll help, alright?"

When she steps back he of course moves his arm, not holding on to stop her. "For now kid, just watch how you speak okay? We'll call that step one.... and, if you need me... I'm here for ya."

Noriko Ashida has posed:
The hug surprises Nori too.  Instead of watching this fatherly/uncley/whatever warm and sweet moment that is going on, Noriko splits to clean up her mess on the couch, tidy the cushions, eat a banana, scratch her back against the door jam, and finally grab some more food for the road.  She's over by the snack table when she is summoned and looks up and over like a meerkat.

Then she blurs over to slip her arm around Jubes' shoulders as they walk out. "I do want to....you know I think this is the first time you've gotten more detention than me?"  Nori is often saying things...too soon.  "Bye!" Nori says over their shoulders to Logan.
