(OLD) X-Men: The New Era (OLD)

Nathan watched as his cousin approached, not wearing the suit that the school had provided him; of course not he wouldn't expect any different from Jason. When he finally reached the table his cousin joked and complained a bit, noting the obvious was something his whole family was good at...just not when it came to things that his mother was doing to him. He knew that what happened was no one's fault but his mothers but he often pondered if someone had paid more attention if things wouldn't have escalated to the point they did. As always he shook the thought out of his mind and threw a cheap smile at his family member.

"I think it's nice." He said looking around at their surroundings. "Don't get me wrong, I feel like a fish out of water but this place is...beautiful. I've never seen anything like it." Nathan didn't go to prom...or any school activities for that matter, so this was something truly miraculous to him, and it was only the first official day here in his new life. He decided to try and throw a joking insult back at his cousin for calling him a nerd. "Oh, and yeah I've always looked like a nerd, but you look like an idiot wearing what you have on. I mean the school provided the clothes for you...all you has to do was put them on." He hoped his sarcasm was obvious enough and that he wasn't coming off as a dick, but there were truth in his words to some extent. Then she approached. Dani spoke to his cousin first, mentioning his constant smell of oil and grease; something Nathan had still not grown accustomed to after all these years. Then she turned her attention to him.

"Did you forget it's a date?" She asked him...he immediately turned bright red. She quickly changed the subject and he was honestly glad she did. He pulled himself together and answered her question regarding their peers.

"I'm a little nervous, but I will say that if they're anywhere near as cool as you are then I might actually have something to get excited about." Nathan's words came out in a way that sounded playful and almost flirtatious, which not only was uncharacteristic of him but also not quite what how he meant to sound. He smiled at her at first but then nervously looked away and down at his plate of food.

Sorry for the absence everyone, some real life stuff has rocked my world...I will still be around lurking in the shadows but for a couple of days I'll be pretty much inactive, just continue to let the characters get to know each other a bit and I'll post when I can :).

I'll assign to make it easier to visualize. It's a large round table and think of it as though you were looking at a compass. I'm going to start at the northern most point of the table and go clockwise.

A few hours later in the Academy Building Ball Room

To a common person, this room is probably the most extravagant, classy decorated room that they have even seen. Golden bright chandeliers line the ceiling, which have dimmed to set the ambiance for the occasion. The checkered floor stretches on and on, with elegant tables set up for all of the attendees, and the ceiling itself has been made up to resemble the sky at sunset. On the west end of the room a large stage has been decorated in elegant fashion and a beautiful wooden table stretches out about half of its length, obviously where the staff will be seated. Soon, students begin to enter and the tables are already set; each seat labeled with a name placard indicating where the students have been assigned to sit. On the tables there is a meal prepared for each seat that is made up of a large, beautifully cooked sirloin of Kobe Beef, an incredibly fancy looking house salad, honey roasted red potatoes, and for dessert there are two options: Tupiles with a raspberry sorbe or a caramel salted chocolate cake with truffle icing. The meals are listed and described on a little place card that is underneath the silver wear; it also explains that there are vegetarian options as well upon request.

Nathan felt terribly uncomfortable in his tuxedo; this was the first time that he had worn one since his high school prom, and honestly he had hoped that nothing in life would ever remind him of that event, because it was awful in so many ways. Shaking the thought of that night out of his mind, Nathan walked towards the entrance of the Ballroom. As he did so he observed all of the students around him. Some were walking together in groups big and small, some were confidently walking alone or simply hurrying to get tho their destination. Most seemed to be excited and he guessed that he should be too, since anything was better than where he came from; he didn't let the thought of his past come up but for half a second maybe...he wasn't even ready to think about it let alone face what had happened only little more than a week ago. His life had changed in an instant, but he had to believe that where he was now would be better than where he came from. As he stepped into Ball Room he immediately felt disoriented and out of place; it was so beautiful, and he had never seen anything like it before in person. The closest thing that he knew to compare it to would be the elegant room from the Titanic movie with the classic stair case scene. Even that, though, fell short of the reality of how outrageously elegant this place was. He wasn't sure that he was ever going to get used to this kind of environment. He saw the table that he was assigned to, it was empty...good. He wasn't quite ready for any introductions so he was glad to be the first at the table, but he was dreading everyone else's arrival. He took his seat and began looking at the three course meal in front of him; all the while wondering if anyone else was feeling as out of place as he was.

@Kaalee No worries about waiting this time, since it's an outro it's not a big deal :)
