Welcome to Today (Open)

[Phoenix]

Jean sighed, closing her eyes, as she leaned against the bookshelf. It was a stormy day outside, and her head was hurting, as if a storm was happening in there, rather then beyond the windows. Slowly, she opened her eyes, and glanced down at the book she was reading. Rereading the title once more. It simply refused to register in her mind, causing her to reread it again. "Theory Behind Telekinesis and Modern Application" Staring at it blankly, Jean shook her head, pulling herself away from the bookshelf and toward one of the chairs, collapsing in it. Her head was hurting the entire day... she just coudln't figure out why.

Still... pushing that aside, she opened the book, trying to focus on the reading. But, forget reading.. what did she do today? Got up... talked with a few students, answering a couple of their questions... got soaked in the rain, but, on the other hand, it was pretty refreshing.. had lunch.. trained a bit... Perhaps that was the reason...

The redheaded woman, sighed, shaking her head as random thoughts crept in her head. Her fingers curled tightly around the arm rest, as another wave of pain washed over her. Yet, again, she pushed it away. Focusing back on the reading. And, again, giving up on it. Her eyes scanned the library, before settling upon a candle stick. Figuring thatshe might as well, try to do something else if her head, refuses to keep streight upon her shoulders, she focused her energy and caused the candle stick to rise up. With out much of a bother, she let it float closer to herself, before making it dance before her. Rolling, tossing, saltos, spinning all in the air before her. The small use of the power, and concentration, did seem to take the edge off of the pounding in her head. Spotting another candle stick, she made it too, rise up in the air, and dance along side the first. Perhaps, she should have a candle-stick dance for the next talent show... Should be fun...

Kurt appears in a plume of smoke as he usually does, however he seems somewhat distressed. He notices Jean and walks towards her looking around carefully, not paying any mind to her unusual activity.

"Jean! I need your help! I was in a hurry to go to the bathroom, but the boy's side of the dorm had a line, so I decided to sneak over to the girl's dorm, but I landed on Kitty when she was carrying her class project!" He says alarmed as he makes sure that she isn't nearby. "You need to hide me!" He almost shouts, fear in his voice.

The girl was about to wail on him with what was left of her project volcano before he disappeared even though he had offered to help her make a new one. She was usually rather pleasant but today was obviously not one of her 'good' days, and trying to be 'suave' and offer to help her clean it hadn't quite helped, especially when he managed to step on one of the pieces and slipped on top of her.

[Phoenix]

As soon as Kurt appeared, and Jean felt his presence, one of the candles flew sharply at him, stopping mare tenth of an inch away from his face, as she recognized who it was. To say the least, she didn ot appreaciate being interupted, unanounced like that.

"Kurt.. there are so many things I can say to that, but won't. " The redhead paused, taking a deep breath. His nerveousness, and shouting did not help, to say the least. "How ever, I must ask you, to lower your voice, least you wish for her to hear where you are at, or for me to force you to be quiet. Second, Why were you in the Girl's Dorm, when you clearly, are not supposed to be there, least of all, to go to the bathroom?" She shook her head a little, crossing her arms on her chest, and trying hard to keep the pounding at bay.

[wixvhen]

Kurt felt bad for a moment. "Well it was kind of an emergency, I was hoping to impress this girl and wanted to..." He put his head into his hands. "Oh no! I spent all my time running from Kitty that I forgot the time!" He looked at a clock and realized he had spent almost over an hour past the time he was going to meet the girl running from Kitty who seemed to sniff out his hiding spots. He almost felt like crying, it was one of the few girls who seemed to like him for who he was outside of the jokes and such.

"I guess it's been a bad day for everybody. Apparently I have nothing to do today now..." He says obviously feeling sad about the turn of events. "I didn't mean to startle you Jean." He says in an apoligetic tone. "Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?" He asks, trying to keep to her wishes of not being too loud. Something seemed off about her but maybe it was something she could help with.

[Phoenix]

Jean sighed, shaking her head slightly, as one of her arms raised, so that her fore finger, middlefinger and thumb pressed to the bridge of her nose. Boys always remained boys... They never quite grow up.... unfortunately...

"I'm sorry to hear that. But, now you have learned a lesson. If you want to impress a girl, do something taht would not put you in an akward possition." Jean pointed out, sitting back in the chair, looking Kurt over.

"It's alright, just be more carefull next time." The redheaded woman pointed out, willing the candles to settle. "How ever, you could do that History homework of yours." She smiled a little, tilting her head to the side a bit. "As I recall, it is a day late. Is it not?"

[wixvhen]

Kurt looked down. "Actually that's what me and her were going to work on." The blue furred elf said as he poked his index(?) fingers together. "I'll be able to do it myself, but it was the only way to actually have a real girlfriend. It gets lonely being the only one in blue fur besides Beast." He says while rubbing the back of his head. "Would you like me to get you some aspirin?" He asks, noticing the girl might have a headache as he continued to remain quiet for her sake.

[Phoenix]

"Kurt... it's not the only way. If someone likes you, they will like you reguardless if you do your work or not. How ever, teachers are a whole different story." The woman pointed out, with a gentle smile. Ahhh... students. She remembered not too long being one herself. The wonderfull... "college" years.

"Try looking at it, from a different perspective. You and Beast are unique. Yes, we are all unique here, but you two especially. Take pride in that. And, if other's look at you funny, let them, it is most likely because they wish their skin was such a nice blue callor." Jean suggested, trying to cheer him a bit.

"Ah.. yes... that would be lovely." Jean nodded, wondering why did she not think of it earlier. "If you could, and a glass of water as well, please."

[wixvhen]

Kurt grinned and disappeared. Less than ten second later he reappeared holding two aspirin in his hand and a cup of water with ice. "I know that alot of people are jealous or even bothered, but alot of girls who might like me don't because of it too. Pointy ears and a tail aren't exactly eye candy." He says with a grin as he holds them up for the psychic.

"Nobody really gives me enough time to get to know me, so first impression is all got." He says before smilng toothily.

[Phoenix]

"Thank you." Jean nodded, taking the pills and water. She, typically, wasn't the one for them, but, at this point, it truly did not matter. Right now, she was willing to give the asprin a shot, and if it did not work... she'll look for the Professor, later... perhaps he can help her with it. He seems to be good at being able to solve, little issues like that. Or at least offer some advise, before she looses her mind... which, at this point, eveidently would nto be the best idea...

"Ahh... first impressions. They are can be decieving, and at times they are right. How ever, your unique appearence aside, you have a great charecter... even if at times, a bit over tehr top. People, at times, can be quite shallow. Yet, on occasion, there are those willing to look bellow teh surface. Do not worry, I'm sure you'll find someone, or someones, like that."

[wixvhen]

Kurt smiled and nodded. "I just wish I could find that type of person. Even among us 'less biased' mutants looks or powers tend to get in the way of good hearts." He says with a chuckle. "Has anybody ever been bothered by your telepathy?" He asks curiously. He could see how people might be bothered, no secrets or anything... It would probably ruin alot of suprises and gifts, too.

[Phoenix]

"People are people, you can not change that." Jean sighed, shaking her head before sitting back in teh chair, resting a bit. "Prejudices and assumptions are simply part of nature. You just got to be who you are, and if they don't like it, it is their problem. Bending over and under, just to please, never works, for the demands never stop."

"Yes... it.. hindered a few things." Jean nodded. "How ever, I try to avoid using it, as much as possible. After all, everyone is enclined to a bit of privacy with in their own mind."

[wixvhen]

Kurt nodded. "Though there are a few people like me who don't mind. I like people to know who I am and why I've become the person I am today." He says with a smile. "I just wish I could let people know how I feel a little better. Maybe then I wouldn't have to run from Kitty." He says with a weak smile.

"Maybe if she knew I wanted to try to fix it and didn't mean to fall on her..." He sighed. "Oh well, maybe she's given up." He said, though he honestly doubted it... Last time he saw her she had dropped in from the ceiling and almost landed on top of him. She was alot angrier than usual, and even though it was an accident he felt she would probably do him alot of bodily harm the moment she found him.

[Phoenix]

Jean nodded.
"It is always hard, to be able to show yourself, or express yourself, in a way that others may understand adn relate to. It is, how ever, possible." Heavens knew she was not good at it either. Then again... emotions, at times, marely got in teh way of the mission, or goal. How ever, always making sure to keep a good control of the emotions, can prove to be rather difficult as well.

"No... it doesn't sound like Katherine to give up that easy... not with out giving you a good brainwashing." Jean smiled, shaking her head. "But, still, just rememeber next time, not to drop by teh Girl's dormatories... especially when there is someone who has a project on tehir hands. It does not end well."

[wixvhen]

He rubbed the back of his head. "I guess I should just let her get it out of her system. Maybe she'll be willing to listen afterwards." He says, though he was worried about the end result somewhat. There was alot of rage there, almost uncharacteristically for her. "She probably knows I'm here now, so I'll just wait outside." He suggests to himself out loud as he turns to her and bows his head respectfully. "Thanks for the talk, Ms. Grey." He says before walking to leave. "If you ever need anything, don't be afraid to ask." He waves his hand as he walks away towards the library doors.

[Phoenix]

"Perhaps... just be sure, to be carefull of what you say, as to not add feul to the flames." Jean warned him, with a gentle smile. She had seen this one too many times among teh students. They would quarell... try to make up, but end up making things worse because of some small, unnessesary thing that another said.

"And, thank you. I feel much better." Jean nodded, watching him churn around. "Good luck..."She smiled, shaking her head a bit. Must be nice, having to go through the ups and downs of student life... how different it is, when one grows up... The things one must take choises in... the things one must concider... the stakes one takes...
