[Public] Journal Entry: Brian Braddock, 1/23/13

[om_britannic]

Hello. I am given to understand that this is the best way to introduce myself. However, if any of you would prefer I do so in person, I will endeavor to do so.

My name is Brian Braddock. I am seventeen years old, and originally of Maldon, Essex in England. Most recently I studied at Fettes College in Edinburgh, Scotland. I arrived last night, and will be staying in room 116 West. I admit that I prefer my privacy, however I am not hostile to visitors if anyone should require anything of me.

I have been fortunate to have already made the acquaintance of one or two students here, and I look forward to meeting everyone else in turn.

Hola, I'm Noriko. I'm new too, but I'm not out of some fancy college.

[om_britannic]

Our colleges are more akin to specialized high schools, I believe, in the States.

And it's very nice to meet you, Noriko.

[om_surge]

Same difference, Bri.

[om_aurora]

It was good to meet you today, Brian! I hope settling in goes easily for you.

[om_britannic]

Thank you, Jeanne-Marie. I very much appreciate it.

[om_quicksilver]

Wow, okay, this is epic. You belong to Betsy, right?

Welcome, seriously, man.

[om_britannic]

Betsy is my twin sister, yes. And thank you.

[om_psylocke]

And vice versa.

[om_quicksilver]

Yyyyyyyeah definitely, but it'd be weird if I said, "Oh so Betsy belongs to you." For serious.

[om_psylocke]

In truth, that doesn't sound right at all. I'm the oldest. That's how it works, right?

[om_quicksilver]

You know, I feel like I should've guessed that. Because yes. Yes it is. :D

(I am younger but if and when--don't tell her I admitted to it in public.)

[om_britannic]

That is what I am given to understand.

[om_sunspot]

Roberto da Costa, we haven't met but I've heard of you a few times. You may or may not have heard of my father

[om_britannic]

I am familiar with your surname, yes. A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Roberto.

[om_sunspot]

Well, don't believe everything you've heard. And likewise Brian

[om_touchstone]

Though we've spoken, it would be rude not to offer you an official welcome. Let me know if you can't find anything. I think I've been here longer than most.

[om_britannic]

Thank you, Simon.

[om_dazzler]

Welcome to the school, Brian. I'm Alison Blaire.

I take it you're related to Betsy?

[om_britannic]

It is a pleasure to meet you, Alison. And yes, Betsy is my twin sister. I'm very fortunate to be able to attend school with her.

[om_dazzler]

It seems to be a theme here. Everyone gets reunited with family sooner or later.

I hope you'll like it here!

[om_shade]

I'm starting to feel the British invasion. Hello, Brian. I'm Eames. I'm also from across the way originally. I'll probably see you in the library, if you're the quiet, studious type. I apologize in advance for disrupting the peace frequently.

[om_britannic]

Pleasure to meet you, Eames. And I appreciate the warning.

[om_nightcrawler]

Hallo Brian!

I am Kurt. It seems like we foreigners will be running the school in no time flat!

Welcome to the school. :) I will see you around.

[om_britannic]

Hallo Kurt, guten Abend und vielen Dank.

It is, of course, very nice to meet you.

[om_nightcrawler]

You as well! :D

[om_diamondlil]

I'm Lil. I'm the 6'4" chick usually found in the kitchen or gym.

Welcome to the madhouse.

[om_britannic]

It is a pleasure to meet you, Lil, and thank you.

[om_stone]

Betsy's brother, huh? I guess that means you're cool. I'm Toph.

[om_britannic]

It is a pleasure to meet you, Toph. Unfortunately, I suspect that Betsy is the cooler of the two of us.

[om_ghost]

For the first time ever it's a Long Lost Brother! Though I guess it was not for very long that you were lost. (Most people here misplace their sisters. It's kind of a running thing.)

My name is Felix and I'm kind of friends with Betsy. She actually helped me out a lot with something but she doesn't know it. So, I'm glad you're here, cause that will make her happy for sure.

[om_britannic]

It is nice to meet you Felix.

[om_northstar]

Jean-Paul Beaubier. I see you have already met my sister.

[om_britannic]

Yes, Jeanne-Marie was kind enough to show me around the school a bit yesterday. It is a pleasure to meet you, Jean-Paul, your sister speaks quite highly of you.

[om_janus]

Another Brit, we're starting to get quite a lot of us here. Though I'm not from anywhere as fancy as you.

[om_britannic]

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I do not know your name. Where in the isles are you from?

[om_janus]

You might not now me on this form but I'm Curtis Donovan, atheletes. Even if you ain't heard of me you probs saw my picture in the papers before/around th Olympics

[om_britannic]

I have heard of you, yes. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[om_janus]

That mdeia circus was all bullshit though, just saying.
But yeah nice to meet you and all that

[om_agent]

Welcome to the school, Brian. I'm Philip Coulson. I hope you settle in well.

[om_britannic]

Thank you, Philip. It is nice to meet you.
