Good afternoon, I'll be your transfer student for today
Does anyone ever write a good first introduction? There's always that whole 'God, what am I going to say?' moment of awkwardness, isn't there?
Do I put 'Hi, my name's Lauren.' or 'Hey, this is Laurie and I'll be your new transfer student for today'? That last sounds like I should be saying something along the lines of 'Do you want fries with that?' though. Which is funny, because I was only talking to my friend Helen last month about how I couldn't decide if I wanted to get a part time job at McDonald's or not.
I can still do that, right? Because, much as retail is not exactly my 'career choice of a lifetime', it does give me money for things. (Clothing, a car when I get my driver's license. Okay, maybe not a car but one can dream.) And it beat wearing a chicken suit and standing outside a department store selling their 'crazy prices'. On the minus side, my hair will smell like fries at the end of the day.
So, as you may have realized by now, being psychic (It's funny because it's true! At least of some of you, anyhow.) my name is Laurie. Okay, it's really Lauren but only my Mum calls me that, and only when she's truly peeved at me. (Breaking the best china vase playing tag with the dog levels of peeved.) I'm a transfer student from the local high school (Go Salem Center Rams!) Wow, that sounded special. Truly, I do not win at Cheerleading. Always knew there was a reason I picked cross country running instead.
I assume at this point, it's probably a good point to tell you what my mutant power is. I do this thing with pheromones, don't really understand it much myself right now, something to do with how I smell, affecting people physically. Um, people who know about this kind of thing and are good with the explaining of such, help?
Anyway, that's me. I guess I'll see you all in class at some stage, or around.

I'm Kyle (Hi KYLE!) - and... whoa on the smelling. Super-nose here. Not like Superman's nose, which would be gross, nose in a jar, but ...
So you smell and it ... what? Turns us into ducks?
no subject
Maybe you'd be able to smell when I was doing it? Which would be kinda cool, since I can't tell when I'm doing it right now. Professor Xavier said that with work I'll start being able to tell.
no subject
I dunno - we can try it but I guess we'd have to figure out a safe something for you to feel? That's confusing thuogh.

...oh, hey, Lorna's not here is she? Yes! It's my turn to steal her line.
Welcome to the Madhouse.
I'm Terry. Pay no attention to my schoolmates, they're all insane. We're short on the psychic right now but a few of the teachers can read your mind. They usually won't though, it's bad manners.
...and that's the end of my break, back to studying.

Take your APs as a junior. I'm telling you, doing them all (or most) as a senior is death on a stick.
no subject
I mean, er, um, yeah.....
My name's Jennie. I do stuff with probability.
Also? Watch out for my best friend. He's the Australian guy. You'll know if it's him if you've been hit on within 10 seconds of meeting him. If he bothers you let me know, I'll drop another door on his head.

Don't ask me why, I've got a theory, but it involves scary numbers and if I mention it to anyone but Forge or Paige they tend to get a little glassy-eyed.

I'm Jamie, and, y'know, one of these days I'm not going to explain my mutant power and let the newbie run around for a couple days thinking I'm Jamie, George, and Esteban, the amazing Madrox triplets. But this is not that day. :) I duplicate myself. It's a little weird. And I actually graduated last spring, but they let me hang around as assistant groundskeeper/kitchen minion, which is kind of convenient--if I give you food poisoning, I'm right there to mop the floor.

I understand you need a roommate, textbooks, class schedule, etc?
See me for all of the above in the front office. I'm the school secretary and Lorna's second set of hands. :)
Forge says you are "unique" high praise from him.
