Rating: PG
Xavier's Mansion - Ramsey Dormitories Lobby
The lobby of Ramsey Dormitories has two elevators at one end of the wall along with the entrance to a cafeteria. On the wall are three pictures that say 'In memory of'. One is of Douglas Ramsey, another of John Proudstar and the last one is of Jean Grey. There are several couches and tables down here for students to relax. Large windows in the front and sides allow for a lot of light in the room.
"Ow!" Comes from a brunette boy as she walks from the cafeteria to the lobby and a rubber band goes flying at him, smacking him right in the forehead. Looking around, he doesn't spot anyone and heads out the doors muttering 'asshole' under his breath. Once he's gone, there's a chuckle from someone carefully hidden in a corner behind some of the plants. "I guess that aim training with goofy googles really plays off." He chuckles as he loads another rubber band into his wooden rubber band gun.
Another moment later, Theo is the one leaving the cafeteria. He didn't see the other boy take the shot in the face, but Theo does pick up Quill's phone signal as he is leaving the cafeteria. He doesn't really respond to it much, swinging his backpack onto his shoulder as he passes through the door.
Seeing it's Theo, and that he's a teammate, Quill doesn't take the shot. Instead though he just jokes around with him, jumping out in front of Theo before he can pass out the door and holds the rubber band gun pointed at the ceiling. "Why hello there partner! Ya see there here is my highway, the toll to pass is three buttons and a chocolate chip cookie!"
"Hey Max," Theo says blandly. "I might have to give you an IOU on the cookie, but here's three buttons." Inside of Quill's pocket, his phone beeps three times, as if buttons were being pressed. 911. He doesn't hit send, though.
Quill looks at Theo as he hears his phone beep and puts the 'gun' in the back of his pants before putting out the phone. "911…man, I gotta teach you something more fun but the buttons…that's damn cleaver of you partner!" He says in a mock cowboy voice. "I mean, I'd have typed 5-3-1-8-0-0-8, but then that's not three buttons. I guess the IOU on the cookie will be enough. I don't need to be getting monster hips in our Corsairs uniforms now do I?!" Is there anything serious that comes out of this kids mouth?
Theo gives Max a confused look. "How did you ever make it out of third grade?" he asks, shaking his head. "I mean seriously, you do fine in the Danger Room, but do you ever stop pulling pranks long enough to have real conversations with anybody?"
"I cheated off of the kid next to me, he was the smart one and wrote /really/ big." Quill jokes…again. "I dunno, other wise things are boring and I hate being bored. Keep things fun and lively. People are too busy with themselves to really just stop and have fun." Is that the real reason, no, but Quill is not going to say 'I want attention!'
Theo rolls his eyes. "Man, we gotta get you a girl." As if Theo could talk. Of course, his own crush on Chloe is one that could be read if Quill has paid attention during the times the Corsairs are together, but it seems that thus far Chloe hasn't picked up on it.
"Don't need a girl. I have sisters, I know what pains in the asses they are." Quill says as he had has his crushes in the past and he has acted on them and he does like girls as much as the next guy. "Though I will say Jill and Chloe can be fun. Noriko, she's also awesome!"
"Yeah, Chloe's great, but she doesn't even know any guys exist," Theo answers. Well, she doesn't pay attention to him at least, which is all he cares about. "It sucks now, because I got money to take girls out, but stupid Frost went and said I'm grounded. I have half a mind to wipe out her computer's hard drive."
"She's waiting for her speedster handsome dude to come around." Quill says completely oblivious to Theo's crush. "Oh being grounded isn't that bad, you know how often I've been grounded here?" With all the stuff he does, it's a surprise it's not permanent. "So what'd you do to get grounded? Turn the sprinklers on the wrong person?"
Theo shrugs. "I signed on the wrong line of the driver's ed form," he answers. "She thinks I'm trying to hide some state secret about my family or something." Which…actually isn't far off. He adjusts his backpack. "I gotta get to my next class man, I'll see you in the danger room later."
"Alright, I should grab my stuff and get to class to. Why do we need to study English when we alreayd speak it? I never got that." Quill says hopping over the couch and heading to the elevators. "See ya in the Corsairs Danger Room Session of epic badassness!" He says as he wanders off singing 'Mmm Bop' to himself complete with a little dance.
