INTRO LOG

[mediumatlarge]

[[Exactly what it says on the tin! This is just an initial log to sort of get things started and is largely freeform, open to (but not limited to):

-Meetings before classes start
-First day business
-Dorm shenanigans meetings
-First classes in progress
-or whatever the heck else you want to do for beginning-of-term things!

There's a CR meme up now for some initial planning if you like, or feel free to just hop in here.]]

If you were in my class. [He rolls his eyes at that.] I don't get my kicks beating up on little kids, that's just pathetic.

[precognition]

Okay. Good. [ that would be psychopath behavior ]

I never do anything to people in my own class. I want them to like me.

[ nodding ]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[Oh, he's got some of that. Just not so lame.]

Why do you care? People are gonna like you or hate you based on their own crap, and if they only like you 'cause you're trying, that's all fake anyway.

[precognition]

[ she pulls her knees up and rests her chin on them, frowning ]

I guess all my friends were fake then.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Most people are. [His own voice is flat and toneless.] Don't be one of 'em and you'll find out who really gives a shit.

[That's three on the shit-o-meter. She should also note that he was completely alone out here, so that's how far his theory's gotten him up to now.]

[precognition]

[ maybe the bird poop was supposed to get her a genuine friend. maybe it was important, after all. they were both avoiding people and now they're sitting with someone. that's a good thing. not that she'll say it because john's....john. he'd probably think the idea was stupid.

she's looking over at him then turning her eyes up to the sky ]

It's going to rain.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

You got a timeline on that? [He rolls his eyes over to look at her just as she's looking away.] I'm not seeing any clouds, and I don't wanna be back in there yet.

[precognition]

Not yet. It'll be later.

[ there doesn't need to be clouds when one of the teachers controls the weather ]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[... point.]

Good. Then I'm not moving.

[He arches an eyebrow at her then, realizing something.]

What's your name again?

[precognition]

Meadow McKay.

[ she's looking over at him, smiling a little - though oh he didn't even know her name. she's known for being weird first instead of having a name. that's a bit hurtful. ]

And you're John.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[He nods.]

John Allerdyce. Your parents hippies or something?

[precognition]

[ looks down thoughtfully ]

I don't think they were. Does it sound like a hippie?

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Meadow? Yeah. Definite hippie name.

[He gives her a cautious look at the past tense, though. How to ask this without being asked back? Is it even possible with a kid, especially one who appears to ask about everything?]

You'd know if your parents were hippies, though. Long hair, peace signs, no bathing?

[precognition]

...oh. [ hippie doesn't sound good. she's definitely going to need to make up a new name or something. she doesn't want to give people another reason to make fun of her. ]

They weren't hippies. [ definitely positive they bathed. ] They just liked the sound of it, I think.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Creative, at least. [John. Really. Not that he needed anything particularly outlandish when it was going to be paired with Allerdyce.] Got a codename yet?

[precognition]

Creative can mean stupid. [ she frowns, picking at some grass ] No, I don't have one. You have one?

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Pyro. [He grins lazily.] Don't look at me, someone else came up with it. It just stuck before I could come up with anything better.

[precognition]

Pyro. Like a pyromaniac. [ she taps her toes together in a minor fidget ] That's funny. I wish I had one.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

No one's gonna do it for you. You have to come up with your own.

[precognition]

But you just said someone else came up with yours. [ :/ ]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

And look what I ended up with! [He holds out his hands, like he's proven his total contradiction true.] You're supposed to come up with your own. Wait too long and who knows what they'll be calling you. I could decide you're Shitshield right now.

[precognition]

[ incredulous. JOHN NO ] I can't even repeat that one!

[ex_outofcontrol435]

There we go. Shitshield the precog. One day you'll be in sole charge of letting the X-Men know when black leather goes on sale. I'll make sure word gets out.

[kids are easy targets, yeah, but sometimes they're also too fun to resist.]

[precognition]

Nooo! [ that's mean. she's pouting at him, an actual upset child face - and then she's pointing at him ] I'm going to let the birds poop all over your head next time.
