The New Guy (Open to all)
After Joey's meeting with Mr. Summers, it seemed safe to say that the hunt for his mother had come to a halt. As long as the Professor was unavailable, it would be next to impossible for anyone else to locate her. Joey wasn't sure if he heard mistrust in the older man's tone when he mentioned his last name, but for now he couldn't worry about that. He needed to decide his next move and get settled in.

At the moment, he didn't have a roommate. He was told all that could and would change at a moment's notice, but for the time being he was now in his room, unloading his duffel bag and putting things away. He didn't have much, so the task didn't take long. Once he was done, he headed downstairs to get some food, meeting a few of the more friendly students on the way. He smiled at a few of them, nodded at others, and grabbed a plate to partake in dinner at Xavier's.

Rose was a short girl of about seventeen. She didn't normally eat with the other students in the cafeteria, preferring instead to grab something in the kitchen or something to take back to her own room.

But it was rib night, and those were worth having to deal with other people.

She looked over at the person next to her in line, realized it wasn't someone she recognized, and nodded briefly in greeting.

	Joey noticed the nod from the shorter girl and returned it with one of the same. "Hey, how are the ribs here?" he asked. They looked good, and he hoped they tasted the same. I'm Joey." he offered with a slight smile, extending his hand quickly as the two progressed through the line. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They're good," Rose told him. "Especially for cafeteria food." She took the hand and shook it, perhaps a bit more firmly than most would. "Rose. Rose Logan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The firmness of the handshake surprised him, but in a good way. He shook her hand and waited as he was served a plate of ribs. "Nice to meet you, Rose Logan." he said, a bit of his Aussie accent coming through in his words. "You been here long? I just got here, so I'm still getting to know people. What does everyone due to unwind around here?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes and no," Rose said. "Grew up here... but not here, not exactly. 's complicated." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, no need to explain." he says, looking for a place to sit. "Do they mind if we eat outside? Cafeterias are okay, but I've spent enough time in them the last week or two to last me a lifetime." Joey says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure," Rose told him. She could use a little dinner conversation for once. "Not much of an inside person either, really." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He'd only had a small tour of the place, so he led Rose out to the back porch and found only two other people out there, who quickly got up and left when they showed up. Joey didn't think anything of it.

He sat down on the steps and looked out over grounds, reminded for a moment of Australia.

"Do you have family here, Rose?" he asked easily, taking his first bite into the ribs. Damn, she was right; these were great.

	Rose plopped herself down, and took a bite of the ribs before she answered. "Kinda," she told him. "Logan and Ms. Summers are kinda my parents." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Joey had seen Logan around, and decided that keeping his distance from the guy would lead to a longer, healthier life. Mrs. Summers was a good looking woman, though, which Rose looked to have inherited.

"Everyone's got parents here, it looks like." Joey said between bites of ribs and potatoes.

"So, what goes on here during the weekends? The week looks like school work for most."

	"Mostly," Rose agreed. "You got people here?" She shrugged. "I mostly head off into the city or somethin', but sometimes there's a movie night or game night or somethin'." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, no family here. My old man died years ago. I didn't know him well. His sister, my aunt, raised me until a couple of years ago, then she passed away as well. So it's just me." he says. "The city is a good place to find a good time. Keep me in mind next time you go. I don't know New York too well, and counting you, I officially know two people here." he says.

	"Sorry to hear that, Rose told him. "But yeah, I'll let you know next time I'm plannin' a trip. Who else ya know?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't worry about it. I've been lookin' for my mother, but the trail went cold here." Joey says, finishing his potatoes. "I met Cait the day I got here. I've been Ben and few other people, but no one else, really. I'm not great with meetin' people. I moved around a bit as a kid." Joey says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2010-02-04 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh?" Rose asked. "Well, I hope ya find her, then." She nodded. "Me and people... don't always get along so well either. Seems I rub some folks the wrong way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You seem pretty cool to me, Rose." Joey offered with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rose grinned. "You ain't too bad yourself, Joey." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, as long as someone else thinks so, I'm not completely crazy." he grins back.

Joey seems to think about something for a moment, then looks at Rose and opens his hand, palm up.

"Check this out." he says. Nothing happens for a moment, then, a small flame appears in Joey's hand. His eyes narrow and the flame reshapes itself into a rose, which he extends toward her a bit more.

"I wouldn't actually touch it, but a rose for Rose, and a thank you for talking to someone you just met." he smiled, before letting the flame expire, leaving a small wisp of smoke in his hand.

	"That'd be nice," Rose replied. "I'd like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_discord 2010-02-06 03:11 am UTC (link)
	"Cool." he says, and starts in the rest of his ribs. (Reply to this)(Parent)
