Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
The school has been a buzz with the news that there were new students starting this week. A few yards of red tape had to be gotten through for them to get there, but at least they were here and they could start getting settled in. New students meant that Happy Harbor High School was getting a half day so that new faces could be introduced and that there could be some time spent outside of class.

Given it's a semi-special occassion there has been a large quantity of pizza and soda ordered in and set out for everyone that decided to stop by to partake of.

Doctor MacIntyre is standing over with a small group of teens that look like they are unsure about all of this. Two girls and a boy. They do not look related and they do not look like they are from America originally.

After a quiet word with them there is a smile before Morrigan motions for them to move up some, "If I can have everyones attention we will introduce our newest arrivals." she smiles to the gathered.

Roland Livingston has posed:
Amidst the people mingling is Roland Livingston, the young Englishman looking over the crowd and briefly scanning the new children Dr MacIntyre has with her. He gives the little group a nod of his head before he takes a sip of the soda in his plastic cup. Then it's back to checking over the rest of the crowd so he can make sure the pupils are behaving themselves.

When his attention is asked for it's given quickly enough. Roland lets his attention settle on the boss lady and her young companions once more.

Dyani Zitkala has posed:
Dyani is most likely one of the first to arrive, being able to fly makes it to much easier to get around and often over people that might be blocking the way. In spite of this, she hovers near the entry, watching for Madison and Irie... she intends to sit with them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Theo had been at the school for a short time, though he had started attending classes as Cynthia. It was nice to be able to be himself now. He wasn't certain if he was supposed to be with Ms MacIntyre or not, so he lingered close by just in case.

Madison Evans has posed:
    "Well. If I can just get the beam focused enough, then I should be able to-" Madison is saying excitedly, just as Morrigan's words cut through the battle of the excited teens. She cuts herself off abruptly, glancing aside at Irie, then looking around the crowd for signs of her usual friends. Theo she spots first - given that he's standing not far from the Head Mistress - and she lifts an arm to wave towards him brightly. "I hope there's Hawaiian pizza this time," she murmurs quietly, before falling quiet once more - bouncing briefly up onto her toes as she often does whens he's excited, or impatient.

Damian Wayne has posed:
     Damian had been talking with some of the others while people were coming in. He had grabbed a Soder-Cola from the front and was just shooting the shit, wearing the HHHS purple polo and slacks, sneakers with matching HHHS colors on his feet as Morrigan announced for attention.

  The Waynes had a reputation to uphold after all, and Damian put his thumb and forefinger over his lip as he let out a shrill and piercing cabbie whistle. "Go 'Mo!" He yelled out through the crowd.

Irie West has posed:
As soon as Irie heard that there would be pizza involved, she had come to the meeting. After all, who wouldn't want to meet some new kids at the school? And have pizza? She's been here for a while, stuffing her face, and only moved over to Madison once things are about to begin. "Yeah, they got Hawaiian there," she tells Maddie. "Ooh! There's Dyani!" She turns and waves franticly at her other friend trying to catch her attention to summon her over.

J'onn J'onzz has posed:
    J'onn is wandering around the room with a plastic cup of soda in one hand, in his normal green form. He's looking over the small crowd and making note of where the new students are, in case they look like they need a little reassurance or a helping hand with anything. When Morrigan calls for attention, he stops and looks over towards her, giving most of his attention to his boss here. Other parts are still keeping track of where people are and generally making sure there's no sense of anything out of the ordinary anywhere around the school, but that's pretty much always running in the background.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan gives a smile to everyone as there seems to be excitement and this is a good thing. Damian's whistle gets her attention and there's a chuckle, "Thank you, Damian." she chuckles to that. She then looks to the teens with her and then to the crowd, "We have three new additions to Happy Harbor that will be starting as Sophmore's with us. I would like everyone to welcome Advika Shenali who comes to us from New Delhi, Chasha Kantor who joins us from Jerusalem and Taiyo Sakurai from Tokyo." she introduces them to the room.

Advika is dressed in more traditional clothing from India with her long black hair braided back into a sleek ponytail. Chasha has a riot of brown curly hair and is rather pale, but has very bright green eyes. She's dressed in jeans and a sweater that has black cat on it with a chubby ghost floating next to it. Taiyo is tall for his age and stands almost as tall as Morrigan, her black hair is frosted at the tips and hangs to his shoulders. He is definitely in the category of 'cool, but mysterious' from the way he dressed.

"We also have another addition in Theo Ferguson, so please also make him feel welcome." she motions for Theo to join them closer with a reassuring smile. The three students that just got introduced wave at those present.

Roland Livingston has posed:
"Cheers!" Roland lifts his cup of soda in a toast. "Here's to our new associates!" Then he takes a drink from his glass and smiles for a few seconds before looking around again. There'd be plenty of time for him to get to know the new students, so rather than approach them now he allows their peers to take over.

Moving towards the pizza, Roland grabs himself a slice and starts munching on it, quickly putting the food down his face, yet somehow showing otherwise impeccable manners. He even dabs at the corners of his mouth with a napkin.

Dyani Zitkala has posed:
Dyani gets herself some soda and settles in with Madison and Irie. The one thing about the little bee looking mutant that always remains true, it's hard for her to sit still. She remains quiet, listening to the introductions, but her wings continue to vibrate until at long last (what three minutes total?) she can explode into the air and cheer.

"Welcome to Happy Harbor!" she chimes loudly. "You will love it here!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Theo offers a wave and a nod, hating being the center of attention even if it was just for a moment, and then he slips away to start mingling and greeting people. He intends to socialize/greet his way over to Madison, Irie and Dyani, because he knows them, but he will first offer his greetings to the others, starting with Damian.

Hand extended, smile on his face he says, "Pleased to meet you."

Madison Evans has posed:
    "Hey Dyani!" Maddie greets her friend briefly as the other girl joins them - and then as Theo is introduced she calls loudly, "Yeah Theo! Hashtag rebuild Genosha!" Yes. She just shouted out a hashtag. What of it?
    Appropriate support and school spirit having been displayed, her attention turns to her flying friend so she can ask, "Dyani - think you can get me a slide of Hawaiian? And a Dew? I mean - not if it's any trouble, but I just figure, it's easier for you with the flying and all..." To get around the crowd.
    She could TK some pizza towards her - but she wasn't sure which box had the pineapple!

Damian Wayne has posed:
     Damian took the offered hand and shook it, and bringing it in for a dap. "What up Theo? Damian Wayne." He asks, before giving a small smile. That was before he brought it in a bit. "Did...she just yell out hashtag?" But he shrugged it off, it was very much not of any importance at least for the moment.

  "Welcome to Super High, you need anything, lemme know."

  "And I mean anything. I got the hookup, just keep that on the DL."

Irie West has posed:
Irie starts applauding enthusiastically as the new students are announced. "WOOO! YEAH!" she chimes in right after Dyani. She turns to the bee girl and tells her to get just a pile of whatever, she'll eat it all anyway.

"What do you think of the new students?" she asks Madison. "I love Chasha's sweater, but Taiyo looks cool. Well. Too cool for us, that is. We're a bunch of nerds." She's grinning as she says this. Nerds are cool, too. Just a different kind of cool. Hell, half the Titans are total nerds and /they're/ all cool.

When Dyani comes back with their pizza and drinks, Irie starts chowing down on hers. "Thanks Dyani!"

J'onn J'onzz has posed:
    Applauding politely as each student is announced, J'onn's soda floats idly beside him so that his hands are free. He nods to each student as they are announced, at the same time memorizing the 'feel' of each of them so he can easily identify them should and kind of situation come up in the future. It's always best to be prepared, of course. He takes his soda back into his hand once the introductions are done, moving over to introduce himself to the new students.

    He offers each of the new students an appropriate greening in their native language, letting them know that they are welcome, and should they ever need to talk about anything, his door is always open. "I think you'll like it here, we try to be very inclusive and accepting of our students and their differences. Please, mingle and meet the other students, we are very happy that you've chosen to join us."

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Taiyo and Advika seems to be open to going off and talking to everyone. Introducing themselves and getting right into the fray. Chasha seems to stick a bit closer to Morrigan, but shyness will wear off eventually. Morrigan gives J'onn a smile as he speaks to the students and she gives a dip of her head to him, "Thank you." she tells him.

Then back to the crowd, "I hope that everyone will be on their best behavior and remember their manners. Another thing to remember about our students that just joined is that this is going to be their first time staying in the United States and we will be their constants, so traditions and customs are not the same, but we will learn together and help with sharing our own." she smiles.

"But for now there is pizza to eat and conversations to be had, so thank you all for being so welcoming already, I don't have any other announcements. Did you, Mister J'onzz or Mister Livingston?" she asks the other teachers.

Madison Evans has posed:
    "I mean - we'll probably see them in classes so we'll get to know them then. Can't really say much about anyone from just - you know glancing at them. Unless they're wearing a geeky t-shirt, and a they/them button - or something like that." Madison takes a moment to study the new kids - then offers a shrug of her shoulders. "I mean, they seem nice enough?" she decides - taking her pizza as Dyani zooms back to join them. "Thanks Dyani!" she chimes happily, taking a big bite.
    "We could invite them to D&D club?" she suggests.

Dyani Zitkala has posed:
Dyani is the perfect messenger. Over the tops of head, dive down and act like she was there the whole time, grabs pizza and soda, then back into the air to deliver.

"We like them all," she admits as she passes out the food and sodas. "But then, we like everyone, mostly.... only a few we do not like and we only wish partial death on them." And then she bites into her pizza.

Now that the mingling has begun, the bees begin to make their way out of Dyani's hair and dive right into her soda glass. She doesn't seem to care, she's busy with pizza and after all, she can tell them to move.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Theo's shake isn't gruff, no attempt to play the macho, testosterone game, he just shakes Damien's hand and offer a broad smile.

"Thanks for the 411," he comments regarding Damien having hookups. "I'll keep it DL, if you do the same about my own." A brow wiggle offered, he takes his hand back. "I been around a bit, but never really socialized. I'm stoked about this school, WAY better than anything I've had in the past.... though Mads is right, hashtag rebuild Genosha. You ever want a tour of the place, to see the progress, let me know... it's my home."

Irie West has posed:
Irie's eyes light up. "Ooh! Yes! We need more people for the D&D club." Gulping down the rest of a slice of pizza, she suddenly disappears and reappears right up next to Chasa, having moved faster than the eye could keep up with.

"Hi!" she says brightly, "I'm Irie, but my real name is Iris but everybody calls me Irie anyway. I like your sweater! Do you know what kind of clubs you're interested in? I'm in a D&D club. You could join! It's a lot of fun." She turns and starts pointing out her friends, "That's Maddie, and Dyani, and Theo. They're really cool people, too. I'm sure you'd like them!"

J'onn J'onzz has posed:
    J'onn isn't taking up any of the new student's time, this is an opportunity for the students to get to know some of their peers before classes start. He does collect a paper plate and several slices of pizza of differing flavors. He moves over to a table and sits down, not so much isolating himself as just sitting. At least some of the students are talking to the new folks, so tonight's mission is accomplished. And besides, he likes pizza.
