[Public] Journal Entry: Noriko Ashida, 01/23/13

[om_surge]

So this is the virtual place to be, huh?

I'm Noriko, the new kid on the block. I also answer to Surge.

Apparently I signed up for dance and drama. Somebody give me the 401 on those classes?

Comments

[om_wither]

I'm not in those classes, but they probably suck like every other class.

I'm Kevin.

[om_surge]

I have to hope they'll be less like classes than the other classes. I am not psyched about going back to school.

[om_wither]

You didn't have to go before?

[om_elixir]

Don't listen to him, they're not that bad! But you still have to watch out for Ms. Hunter, the dance teacher. She'll dance you till you can't feel your ass anymore.

[om_surge]

That's cool, as long as it's not, like, ballet.

It's not, is it?

[om_elixir]

Nah we've got a nice eclectic taste of different things. You don't get away from ballet-inspired stuff, obviously, but you won't be donning slippers and a tutu if that's what you're worried about.

(And thank everything for that 'cause I couldn't pull that off)

[om_nightcrawler]

Hallo, Noriko! I am Kurt and as someone who is in drama I can personally attest to how awesome it is. :D

[om_surge]

Hey there, Kurt. So what are you guys working on?

[om_nightcrawler]

We act out scenes a lot, or do different kinds of theater games. There is talk of doing a production in the future though!

[om_shade]

Welcome, Noriko! It'll be good to have more women in drama class. Leaves more options open for scene work. Dance isn't so bad either. Good workout, good group.

I'm Eames. You'll see me around in a few different shapes, especially in drama.

[om_surge]

Drama seemed like a fun idea? I've never taken it, so this is me, out of my depth.

I'm guessing you mean that literally?

[om_shade]

Literally. There's two forms I use most frequently, but sky's the limit.

[om_justice]

Hi Noriko! I'm Vance, and I'm new too, so I have no idea what's going on in any of those classes. Still, glad to meet you!

[om_surge]

Hey, Vance, when did you come in?

[om_justice]

Just last night; I'm still living out of my suitcase and stuff.

[om_quicksilver]

Sup Noriko. I'm Pietro. Good to meet you, welcome, etc.

Lightning, huh? Sounds pretty badass, NGL.

Oh yeah, and drama's cool. We do random scenes. Wanna do an actual show soon. If you're into it I'll be up in your face about it sooner or later.

[om_surge]

As a rule, I recommend not getting up in my face about anything, but yeah, we'll see how I feel about it.

[om_aurora]

Hello, Noriko. I'm Jeanne-Marie, and it's very good to meet you.

I'm so glad to have another girl here. We're lucky to have mostly nice boys, but we are really outnumbered!

[om_surge]

Seriously? The mutant gene favors guys? Or the headmasters do?

[om_touchstone]

Welcome, Noriko. I'm Simon. I don't take either dance or drama, but my guess is that they give a bit more leeway than the more academic classes. Let me know if you need any tutoring to get you back up to speed in the others. I tutor a couple of the other kids, so I don't mind helping out if you need it.

[om_surge]

Thanks, yeah. I'll do that, once I figure it out.

[om_stone]

Surge? Really?

[om_surge]

Yeah, why?

[om_northstar]

Welcome to the school, Noriko. I'm Jean-Paul, the most awesome of the speedsters currently in residence. Dance is a pretty good workout even by my standards, but beware -- Hunter is one of those teachers that expects her students to apply themselves.

[om_surge]

Speedster, huh? Who're the others, oh most awesome one? As for dance, thanks for the heads-up. A good workout is pretty much what I'm after, and it's one thing I don't mind applying myself for.
