[Mingle-Log] Only non-alcoholic beverages in the punch bowl...


[This is an open mingle log. You do not have to be part of the community to post in this thread. Consider it a test-drive of sorts to get your voice or meet new characters!]



SHIELD Academy
Open House

Everyone is congregated in the spacious auditorium of the SHIELD Academy. The noise level is probably a decibel below deafening and the lights are probably a little dimmer than what might seem normal for this time in the evening, but it doesn't seem to bother anyone as they just carry on. There are banners strewn about welcoming all first years to a new chapter in their lives while others welcome the others back for another year at the Academy. Refreshments are served up on stage while other tables set up around the massive room are home to pamphlets and flyers for clubs and classes. Special electives and advertisements for training sessions are also littered amongst the tables.

Make a few friends, find old ones, look into clubs that catch your interest. This is open house for all returning students and prospective students, so hang out, hit up others and just mingle!

Jean could tell from the moment she walked into the room that she had made a mistake. She had been told "orientation," as such she had notebook, pen, student handbook and planner in hand when she walked into what was clearly a party of some sort.

Feeling more than a little embarrassed at walking in looking like the nerdy new girl, Jean looked around for someone to talk to, in hopes of salvaging the situation.

{Not exactly off to a roaring start Jean,} she thought to herself.

Spotting a tall, slightly awkward but pleasant looking boy Jean summoned up her courage and approached. "Hello, I'm Jean. Grey." after an awkward beat she added, "Sorry I'm new here and I wasn't sure what to expect. Maybe you can rescue me from social embarrassment..." she faltered unsure what to say next. Being the new girl wasn't something she was accustomed to.

Bucky didn't see her walk in, but he definitely noticed her approach him. 

Redheads.

"I don't know if I'm going to be any kind of help," he said, with a smile that could only be called rougish.  "I'm fresh meat here.  Maybe between the two of us we can avoid looking like complete losers."  He offered his hand.  "I'm Bucky."

Jean shook his hand, grateful to have navigated her way out of the social Sahara.

"It's nice to meet you, Bucky." Jean smiled genuinely, "fresh meat? I thought you were an upper classman."

{Well, he might not be as familiar with the school as I was hoping, but he seems nice enough. At least now I have someone in the boat with me.}

"Nah, I'm only a second year, but I wasn't here last year." My uncle wouldn't let me have mail then.  "So I'm as new as you are, really. Though high school is high school, and if you want advice with that, I can butcher a bit of that."  

He gave a shrug, amused.  He gestured to her stack of supplies. "You want me too hold any of that for you?"

"That's really nice of you but you don't have to do that." Jean said. Flattered as she was by the offer, she didn't want to make her one new friend pay for her foolishness. Besides, if her arms got tired she could always carry her books the other way.

"So what made you transfer?" She had been told that this was a school for the gifted and she was eager to learn if there were other students with powers, like her.

Bucky shrugged. The truth was that he would have started here, last year; this would have been his second year here, instead of second year in high school, if his uncle hadn't been... difficult about contact with the outside world.

"Because it seemed like a better place than where I was," he replied, as honestly as he could. "But as far as-- as all the fancy stuff, I don't know. Something about enhanced physioblah." He shrugged. No one had explained it to him, and SHIELD wasn't forthcoming. Yet.

She could tell there was a story there, but Jean didn't want to pry. Bucky seemed like a nice guy and his business was his own.

"So..." she said awkwardly, fishing for a more comfortable subject, "What sort of things do you like to do Bucky?"
