Monet St. Croix	It's a Friday afternoon, and the ever-imperious and entirely-superior Monet St. Croix is lounging in the library. She has a thick book over on her lap with the title obscured that she's reading and seeming to be fully still other than the occasional motion of turning a page. Given the slow rate of turning rather than the near instantaneous the girl with the near eidetic memory could manage, it likely was only something that had her partial attention.
Tabitha Smith	This is a rair sight. Tabitha actually studying, or trying. Which means there's a wild blonde caring a bunch of books out of the stacks with a tablet perched and sliding atop them till she gets to the same table Monet is at. Not that she's chasing after the dark skinned mutant. Tabby just has a finite amount of strengtth compared to many despite the work she puts in in the gym and danger room having a visible result. "Ugh. Plasma physics why you so much math." she complains and hooks a foot to puul up a seat. This puts Money in sight. "You are either more bored than I am if you8 are actually enjoying that. I can never tell with you!" she states and looks back to ger study load with a look of dread not seen since Finals.
Monet St. Croix	Monet St. Croix would glance at Tabitha, "I was unaware that you were able to read." For M that's intended as her default reply. It was -very- not nice but whatever the comment was seemed to get her amused in whatever way it did. And it was probably not quite on that verbal tone of belittling but moreso phrased in a statement of fact with total casualness. "I enjoy learning things and improving myself. That is not a universal attitude. I can understand as to how it is something that you wouldnot be interested in." M goes to turn another page of her book, carrying out the conversation while reading.
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn isn't a super studious student, but sometimes libraries were useful, y'know, if you were looking for books on....Well, okay, the library doesn't carry a lot of books on magic, but sometimes she gets lucky! Last time Illy left one of her books in there by mistake, and at least they have a small new age section. So of course she strolls in, humming and skipping, probably getting all sorts of annoyed glares from students who are here to do serious studying. As she spies a Monet and a Tabby, she grins and waves to them, "Hiya, how's it going? woo, party in the library?" okaay, maybe not.
Tabitha Smith	"I can totally read. I can even do it without saying the words aloud and tracking with a finger. It really wasn't easy though. They don't have much help for girls with ADHD in broke ass poor areas like Roanoake, Virginia." Tabby says back and grins to Monet. The blonde respects a good burn but a learning disability is still a llearning disability. The study and learning for self improvement gets a warmer smile than an impetuous one. "What do you know, we have something in common besides perfect hair." Tabby is wearing hers down instead of her normal pinned up and waxed in that eighties baby butch style. It's actually a chin to shoulder length former bob cut. "I'm actually here to work on the theory behind my powers!" she explains. Megan gets a a grin and a playful shhh gesture with finger against lips and then a giggle as the wiinged girl really isn't making a racket. "You feeling okay after the Mojo thing? Can't rely on cartoon physics in that dimensional shitbox. Nori and I dropped the ball there. I'll try harder." she says and sounds actually apologetic.
Monet St. Croix	The dismissive tone over in Monet St. Croix's voice would continue, "You manage to consistently imply otherwise, which takes some degree of talent so I must somewhat be impressed at your dedicatio to that presentation." She would give another patronizing glare over to Tabitha while going to not bother to look at her book. Either she didn't know about Tabitha's disability or she didn't care about it. "Ms. Gwynn, I hope that you re faring well." Megan, at least, is given eye contact and a light nod of acknowledgement.
Megan Gwynn	Megan Gwynn smirks at Tabby and shrugs, "Mojo, Bojo. That guy is sooo last season. We totally kicked his arse." she grins at her, giving her the thumbs up. To Monet, she smiles and nods. "Never been better, I mean no more of that crazy angel stuff, now we just gotta worry about vamps, huh." still, she looks fairly tired, she's been through a lot in the last few weeks.
Tabitha Smith	Dropping her backside into her seat finally the blonde keeps a more playful smirk at Monet. "Well I can't do hoighty toity stick up my ass. Most people are exit only or know to use more lube. I mean if had so many splinters in my colon like you I'd be pissed off at everyone's antics too." Tabby teases back. Megan gets a more cheery smile and a nod. "We got lucky. We got someone the mansion actually likes back instead of having to explain a huge fuckup. So I'll take that win. Vampires though, ugh. Jubilee used to be fun. Now I think she's forgotten that species doesn't mean instant family." Then she's serious again.
Monet St. Croix	Monet St. Croix would just give a glare at Tabitha, finally bothering to acknowledge her presence with partial eye contact as she would put her book to the side, "I'm sure that wahtever sort of escalation that Ms. Lee has instigated will be dealt with. That's what the -professinals- are for." Aware of Tabitha's place over on the team but her tone being dismissive in it. "Those things, at least, can be attacked and killed and there is no loss at tehir dismemberment." Yay for anyone who had qualms on it.
Tabitha Smith	The glare is totally spotted by Tabitha and as much as a rise as it is out of the Perfect Mutant. Tabby is calling that a direct hit. "Yeah like, you bust in our home. You get your ass kicked. You wanna play nice, You knock and say hello, one of you is a vampire and has a boo that is very important to us, may we please seem them and the book and see if it warrants asking if we make take them with us." Tabby says in her most absolute fake poilye sarcasm tone ever.
Monet St. Croix	The glare is finally dropped, "They can be neutralized to some degree and hopefully with sufficient casualties they will be forced to break off if they are not slaughtered altogether. Even without specific weaknesses there are things that can destroy them no matterw hat."
Tabitha Smith	Tabitha Smith nods her head. "I been practicing staking. Danger room time. Slide it in just off center." Tabby states and points the spot out on herself. This does mean a squish of a breast but the location is sound. "You hit cartilage that is sternum and you might slide right and miss. I think Jubilee might not realise she was misleading when she gave that tip." Tabby actually having insight. Scary.
Monet St. Croix	Monet St. Croix would shake ehr head, "Why limit it to stakes? That forces you into close quarters with them where they will have a speed advantage and likely strength. Do not put yourself in a positionw here you are exposed to them. Stay at a distance. Even if your powers cannot destroy them you can inflict enough damage on them to let another finish them off."
Tabitha Smith	"Monet! No duh I'm a zoner. Distance is my game. Think I been working exclusively on martial arts. I mean yes. The clinic at the Themiscyran embasy was amazing and even you got a kick out of it and a crush on that blonde girl. I did too." Tabby states and clearly ships Monet and Cassie against her own attractions. She does tap fingers against that study load. "I've got tricks up my sleeve now. My first ever explosion was not a time bomb."
Monet St. Croix	Monet St. Croix would nod, "They have a heavy advantage in mobility thanks tot hier strength and speed. Anything that can be done to slow and cdripple them even if not destroy will be useful if only to give the unit time to more effectively adjust to the battlefield."
Tabitha Smith	Tabby's eyes look left and right and back and forth in a half squint. One could almost feel a camera zoomon them. "Wanna see something cool?" she asks with a grin and backs hers eat away from the table just enough she has enough room and then extends both hands. Her left hand glows and hovering just above it is one of her spheroid bombs. Small, about golf ball sized. "This is easy mode." she says and without throwing it or moving her hands the bomb starts to move on it's own, psionioally dancing about like a wisp before settling in the right palm and then being reabsorbed without detonation. "It gets better yet!"
Monet St. Croix	Monet St. Croix would just glance at Tabitha, "Given the recent obliteration of the Recreation Room's functionality, demonstrating your powers and thier yield seems completley inappropriate." She would warn over in an irritable tone. "Particularly those of us whom enjoy improving ourselves intelletually."
Tabitha Smith	Tabitha just sighs and shhakes her head. "I get it, everyone thinks Tabby reckless, can't control her powers. Blew up the rec-room." she states. "But they don't see that for all my crazy. The one thing. I have always been working on control of my power." There's a second glow and this time it's not a bomb. It's a stream of plasma that dances up in an arc and twists and spirals like a braid before coming back down and being reabsorbed. "The Rec-Room clicked something into place. If I didn't act it could have killed a lot more than one of Jamie's dupes. My power is under complete control. I shouldn't be afraid. And maybe with time. No one else will be either. Unless someone wants to get up in my shit.:
Monet St. Croix	Monet St. Croix would look at Tabitha, "Yes, yes they do. And you're not giving the impression that they are not correct." Her response dismissive and flat and otherwise going to nto pay attention over while going to rest her hands on her lap while looking moderately annoyed.
Tabitha Smith	"I like to think I'm growing as a person Monet. I'm twenty. I've been active as a mutant siince I was thirteen." The blonde kciks back and puts her feet on the table and crosses those red Chucks of hers as pink jeans tuck into tem. "I can deal with you and some others being all stupid criitical. I bet under that perfect head of hair your brain is more full of self esteem brain weasels than I have. And you've seen enough of my real crazy you can call anecdotal evidence. But I do want to get better. So you know better late than never. If I hadn't grown up even a little. We'd be knocking walls down in here."
Monet St. Croix	Monet St. Croix would shrug, "We've all been mutants, whether or not it's been activated. Many showcase things at birth. If they're a different skin tone, if they're displaying things like wings.." She would go to flick her fingers. "And I don't particularly care about other ones. And if you feel that you're doing well then by all means."
Tabitha Smith	Tabby just looks exasperated. The feet are pulled from the table and replaced with a thud sound of the blonde's forehead. "You suck Monet!" she states and just keeps her hair covering the girls face. There's groans.
