New kid!

[x-plosive.livejournal.com]

Well! When I was told "mansion," I certainly didn't expect one this big. Hey everyone! Name's Tabitha Smith but some of my friends call me Boom Boom or Meltdown. (Chocolate for those who can guess why!) Got here kind of late last night, talked to the Wheels (er, I guess I should call him Professor now, huh?) and then immediately collapsed into bed. Usually I'm not such an early bird but after sleeping in uncomfortably cheap hotel rooms and even cheaper hostels, a real bed is just heaven. Spend most of the day getting oriented although that didn't work out too well. :) I was also told that we all have to keep journals here. Cool beans! I've always wanted to keep a journal before but I was always so busy on the road with my friends that it was more fun just living the experiences than concentrating on trying to write it all down.

Traveled around with a bunch of mutant friends for awhile but figured I should probably stay in one place for at least longer than a week. And with this bed, you can bet I'm staying. So if you see someone you don't recognize wandering down the halls tomorrow bopping along to their cd player, it's probably me. If any of you volunteer to help me out around here, I'd be extremely grateful. I swear I don't bite. ;)

Hey, welcome aboard! Guess I'd be your first volunteer. ;)

So tell me... how much perkiness can you achieve?

*eg*

[x-plosive.livejournal.com]

Wow! I totally didn't think there'd be famous people here too! My friends and I went to one of your concerts awhile back. Very cool. :)

And I've been thwapped before for, what was the term? Something about illegal use of happiness without the aid of caffeine. ;)

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Heh - flattery tends to work pretty well in my case. I do vain pretty well. ;)

Ah, I see! Well then, let's see about getting you properly caffeinated, and THEN unleash you upon my unknowing victims!

Ahem.

Sometime this afternoon good for you?

Morning Tabitha.

You're going to be meeting people for weeks I'm afraid, but I would be Paige.

Since Alison has already vollunteered to pull guide duty, I'll just say welcome!

Hope you enjoy your stay.

[x-plosive.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I guess it will take awhile to learn everyone's names but I've never backed down from a challenge before. I'll see you around. :)

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Okay, that explains a few things, then. :)

I'm Doug Ramsey. Jamie, Artie and I live across the hall from Ms. Blaire(I just can't bring myself to call her Alison. *chuckle*) If the door's open while you're on your tour, feel free to poke in.

Okay, that explains a few things, then.

Ah, creating a buzz already, am I? I think that's a new record for me. ;)

Nice to meet ya. :)

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Well, between Sarah's reaction, Paige's post, and then seeing a new and unfamiliar face(of course, being relatively new myself, there are still a few unfamiliar faces...), once you posted it all became clearer. :)

Hi. Welcome to the mansion! I'm sure you'll settle in real fast.

[x-plosive.livejournal.com]

Hey! Well, if everyone's as nice as the welcome I've gotten so far, I think I just might. :)

Hi. I'm Lorna, the lesser of the two evils of suite 205. The greater of the two already volunteered herself as a guide. Because I refuse to be outdone, I'll offer to cook a Welcome to the Madness dinner.

[x-plosive.livejournal.com]

Wow. I got people volunteering to take me around and now cook for me. You guys must not get a lot of new people here, huh? I shall definitely take you up on your offer and then giggle as the so-called Madness begins.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Not a whole lot of new people, no. Though the rest of the school will likely tell you that I rarely pass up an opportunity to cook. Speaking of which, to really get you a taste of the madness, I suppose they should all be invited to said dinner.

What would you like to have?

[x-plosive.livejournal.com]

Oh goodness, you cook whatever you want to cook. I'm not choosy. :) So how many people actually live here anyways? Something tells me this is going to be like the time I ate dinner with the entire Rent cast. Now *that* was La Vie Boheme. ;)

[x-havok.livejournal.com]

Careful when you let her chose what she cooks. She tends to go a bit over the top sometimes, right hun?

And if you don't like it, you might find yourself pinned to a wall with forks... ;)

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Grapefruit spoons are her favorite weapon of terror these days.

*nods wisely*

[x-plosive.livejournal.com]

That's okay. My frends and I went camping once and ran out of food two days into the trip--good idea, poor planning heh--and met some other campers who shared their squirrel with us. Believe me, my taste buds aren't picky.

Forks? Pssht. I can do better than that. ;)

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I have never tried to pin anyone for not liking my cooking, just for being obstinate about trying it.

And there is nothing over the top about my menus. They're balanced and well-thought-out. *nods*

[x-storm.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the school, Tabitha. I hope you've settled in and made yourself at home. If you have any questions, or need any help, just ask. We'll be happy to help.

Oh, and since Lorna is availing herself to cook, a little word to the wise here, Tabitha. Take her up on her offer, Ms. Dane doesn't do rejection well.

[x-plosive.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) You're a professor here too, right? And I've already accepted Lorna's offer but if the madness gets to be too much (which I doubt) I can take care of myself. :)

[x-havok.livejournal.com]

As a former new kid, be prepared to be overwhelmed for the next few days.

And yeah, hi! Welcome to Mutant High, where the angst never ceases and the food runneth over...

[x-plosive.livejournal.com]

*grins* Didn't see this before dinner. Mutant High--I like that. I'm a bit old for high school though. Think we can annex Mutant University? ;)

[x-havok.livejournal.com]

You have a very good point but dude, Mutant University is such a mouth full...
