Miss Amanda told me about this internet journal system and that I should introduce myself. It seems there are a lot of people who live here. Hello, my name is Rictor, and I moved here today to learn how to control my mutant earthquake powers. Somehow, that sounds even weirder in English than it does in Spanish.

I would appreciate someone to drive me to a nursery this week. I like my room but it’s empty, and I think some plant life would be nice. I am thinking of starting simple with spider plants or a moth orchid. I could also plant some bulbs for paperwhites or an amaryllis.

Hi Rictor! I'm Molly! You have earthquake powers? That is so cool!

I have super strength and invulnerability, like Supergirl. Except without the other stuff.

I could totally drive you, if you want. Don't know a lot about plants but I can help hold things.

[xp_rictor]

How strong? How much mulch can you carry at once?

[xp_blink]

you say "drive" but I'm thinking, that takes so long. especially depending on what plants you want.

I'm Clarice. where you want to go and when?

[xp_rictor]

What do you mean? How can you faster than a car?

[xp_legion]

Hi Rictor, I'm David Haller. I'm recently returned myself, but if there's anything you need while you get settled I'd be happy to help.

[xp_rictor]

Thank you, Mr. David. It's a pleasure.

Good evening, Rictor, I'm Terry. I'm acoustikinetic, meaning my powers involve sound, which means I'm very familiar with vibrations and how to control them. (The first person who makes a dirty joke about that is getting absolutely nothing from me on their birthday. There's really no other way to say it. I'm looking at... everyone. All of you. Except you, Rictor. And you, Shatterstar. I'm sure you're both far too polite for that sort of thing.) So if you'd like any thoughts and possible powers training, I'm happy to lend assistance, though I'm not precisely sure how well acoustikinesis translates into tectonic shifts, since they manipulate very different things.

It's delightful to have you here and, if you wind up not taking Clarice up on her offer to just go to a forest somewhere for your plants, I'd be happy to drive you somewhere more local. And if you're interested in gardens in general, we have one here at the mansion as well as in District-X in the City at the Community Centre. I'm happy to show you both of those as well.

[xp_wildchild]

You sure you're looking at everyone? :) <3

[xp_shatterstar]

I could make a dirty joke. U dont know

[xp_darcy]

TOO LATE MY BIRTHDAY ISN'T AGAIN FOR FOREVER. Buuuuuuuut I'll behave and wait til we're both in the suite.

Hello Rictor, I'm Darcy. I'm Terry's roommate, and I'm electrokinetic. Basically I'm a walking taser or battery, depending on what I need most at the time.

It sounds like you're set up on offers to get plants and rides, but I'm also happy to help if I'm around! I just got back from a week-long work trip, and I keep odd hours because of said work.

I imagine Angelo and Matt will also reach out to you, but one of us will schedule a time with you soon to make sure all your paperwork's in order. Nothing to be worried about, we just like to make sure we've got everything on the up and up.

*waves in asexual*

Yeah, I'm not including myself in that everyone. There's enough sex talk around this place without me actually adding to it. :P

Hi Rictor! I'm Nica and I can absorb and project every along certain parts of the EM spectrum. Earthquakes sound pretty awesome, I have to day.

[xp_rictor]

Thank you, Miss Terry. Miss Amanda told me a little about District X. I would like to see it.

[xp_magik]

ur so much energy y??????

i am illyana and i cannot drive but i can give you some cuttings from the herbs in my windowsill if u like plants that r good for magic and food

[xp_rictor]

Magic plants? Yes absolutely. Do you have guanto rojo or clavel?

[xp_wildchild]

Hi, I'm Kyle. I'm allowed to tease Terry because we're dating. I also do some education stuff here and through the local high school if you're transferring or need any advice.

But I'm also about to go on a trip for a few weeks so if you do need any education stuff, drop me an email or leave me a message with Terry.

You better come back with so many good stories.

[xp_shatterstar]

Hi I met you earlier today. The tree guy.

[xp_rictor]

I found a gif of el Demonio Azúl!

[xp_daytripper]

Good to see you're all set up, Julio. Just a head's up, you don't need to call me "Miss Amanda". Amanda is fine. ;)

[xp_rictor]

Sorry! Would "Professor Amanda" be more appropriate? 😆👩‍🎓🪄

[xp_topaz]

"Ms. Amanda."

I swear I can hear all of her hair turning gray.


Hello, I'm Topaz. We met very briefly but no one was at their best at the moment.

[xp_tarot]

I love Amanda but I fell off my chair giggling at that.

[xp_outlaw]

Hi Rictor, welcome to the neighborhood. I'm Inez, kinda new-ish myself, so if you have any questions don't be afraid to holler.

[xp_rictor]

Hello!

[xp_dust]

Hi Rictor, welcome to Xavier's. I hope you're settling in well so far.

I'm Sooraya Quadir and I mainly work on various projects on District X and for the Xavier Institute.

If you enjoy plants and stuff, maybe you should talk with my roommate Alani. I think she is planning something with a garden.

[xp_rictor]

Wow, it seems that there are many gardeners here.

[xp_tarot]

Welcome! We also met in Mexico but since everyone was overwhelmed, repeating introductions is perhaps best. My name is Marie-Ange, I help lead the group that helped your family. I hope your trip here was smooth.

[xp_rictor]

Yes, there are many things I don't remember clearly (like most people's names), so thank you for your help. I don't really like flying because I'm so far away from the ground, but at least it's over now and I'm here.

[xp_cypher]

In the interest of introductions (because I have a bad habit of just commenting on something that catches my attention, like the gif above), I'm Doug Ramsey. If you need help with computer things, I'm one of the folks who handles that kind of stuff.

[xp_rictor]

Thank you, Doug

[xp_mayhem]

Hey, I'm April. Nice to see another new face around! If you ever see me outside with a dog feel free to come and say hi to us. Boris belongs to my roommate, but we both take him out for walking and play, and he loves to make new friends. Especially ones that might throw a ball for him. :)

Otherwise I am not great at growing plants so I can't really help you on that end. I don't have a black thumb... well, not with plants, it's more a shifter thing, but it's decidedly not very green either.

[xp_rictor]

Hello, April

[xp_meggan]

Hi there and welcome, Rictor--I'm Meggan Szardos! I'm Amanda's sister, and an empathic shapeshifter.

[xp_rictor]

She has a sister? Nice to meet you, Meggan. What does "empathic shapeshifter" mean?

[xp_velocidad]

"Miss Amanda," oh she's gonna hate it.

Soy Gabriel - bienvenidos y mucho gusto. We met briefly the other day but there was kind of a lot going on.

[xp_rictor]

Usted es el hombre que salvó a mi chiichi del árbol caído, ¿no? Muchas muchas gracias. Ella se siente bien ahora gracias a usted.
