The X-Pendibles

Heidi ate her lunch in silence. It was a chicken salad with a banana milkshake and some assorted fruit. She was still very disappointed with herself after stalking Shawn for minutes without actually saying anything, until he took a diversion to the dorms and she had no logical reason to follow him further as she was going straight to the cafeteria. She needed to get better at social interaction. It was her one weakness. Maybe another visit with Doctor Blake was in order. He's already helped her a lot with this issue and she also wanted to tell him how well her conversation with Peter went, small though it was.

She finished her lunch, then set out to find him. As she left the cafeteria, Shawn walked in. She was not prepared for this. Should she explain why she'd been silently following him? But what if he hadn't noticed? Just switch off, Heidi. Remember what Booker taught you. Switch off, and say what you want to say...

"Um, I'm sorry about what happened in Drama earlier. I wasn't really involved but I didn't stop it either, so...sorry." she said quietly, and then kept walking right past him, feeling so much better but at the same time still cursing herself for not simply saying that in the first place.

As she kept walking towards the foyer, she spotted a very brief glimpse of Emma Frost before she slipped out of Heidi's sight. She didn't know what to make of this, so she stored it for later, when there was more data to make any more opinions of what she was doing here, but Heidi still didn't like it. For now, she would reserve judgement.

She did find Br. Blake, though, but with him was a new student. Now clearly wasn't a good time to talk and she should leave them, but he'd probably already seen her, so she should at least say hello if he'd seen her...

"Hi, Dr. Blake..." she said very quietly.

She studied the new student. Just from looking at the tailoring of his suit and his shoes being custom-made, she could tell he was of a very rich background. He also had, as well as the kind of graceful well-mannered air that marks out these kinds of people, a dangerous sort of sharpness and intelligence about him. Still, his body language was warm, not aloof, and that was a good sign. Maybe she could be friends with somebody like this. Somebody who'd happily do all the talking to draw out conversation from Heidi, because she knew she had a lot to say. That was the problem, really. She had too much to say.

Hmmm, now what should I have Heidi do?

@Almosegosum

Heidi's one step too much in the other direction. She's pro-registration. This would be a really interesting dynamic as sometimes she'd be the radical of the two.

The X-Pendibles

@Almosegosum Did somebody say cerebral, opinionated, emphatic and of a strong moral fibre? Why not Heidi?

The X-Pendibles

So is one personality capable of flight and the other transforms? Or do both do both?

The X-Pendibles

I feel like I'm actually getting her adorkably right this time :D

When all the other kids laughed at Shawn, Heidi rolled her eyes and looked a little bit crestfallen. It wasn't exactly regret Heidi felt, more like pity. Now he'll never make the mistake of falling asleep in one of Kurt's classes, or drawing much attention to yourself at all, really. She saw Peter apologise to him as he was leaving for lunch. Maybe she should apologise to. She didn't stop them, and even helped a little with those odds.

It was her lunch period too, now, so she'd better get there early enough to get anything halfway healthy. She stood up, and went over to Peter, standing about four feet away from him. "You shouldn't feel bad. You just did what you were told, and didn't laugh at him. I've got to go to lunch now..."

She hesitated, trying to think of appropriate ways to finish her sentence, but then got paranoid about standing there quiet for too long even though the pause was only a fraction of a second; an eternity to her brain. She turned and left the room, still cursing herself for how poorly she handled that just after making a decent impression with somebody for once.

In the hallway, Shawn was ahead of her. She followed him at a distance, trying to think of how best she should apologise. Should she put the blame on herself? That could make him hate her. She could appear on his side, but she didn't know what he thought of her, and if he already didn't like her for not stopping anybody, that would just make things worse. So, for now she continue to follow him in a silent and kinda creepy way.

Remove this please, for it is dead

I'm really sorry. I'm just not finding this rp fun with only three of us.

Hyperdimension Neptunia X

The lack of inncence in this world's Nepgear put Blanc on edge, and saddened her in a way. She was anxious to find out what had become of her or her sisters, but there was first the matter of earning the grim CPU's trust, and then was the matter of finding out what happened here.

"Long story short, we're from another hyperdimension. We've received your plea for help and offer our services. Can you fill us in on what exactly happened, though? Why you called for help, why this level of security, and...out of interest, has anything happened to me, Rom or Ram?""

So, Peter's power was just as it appears. She already knew that. She was simply trying to keep the conversation going for as long as possible. No easy feat when one of them had severe social anxiety and the other had English as a second language. Suddenly she had an idea. She replayed her own memories in her head, pinpointing from Peter's accent not only that he was from Russia, but where in Russia he was from, and then she started speaking fluent Russian, even adding the accent of Peter's hometown.

"I apologize. Would speaking like this be easier for you? At least like this, one of us can have an easy time conversing."

She managed a tiny shy chuckle. Speaking became a lot easier when she shut off the questions, but they were still there despite her attempts to ignore them. 'Are you being to friendly or forward? Are you not being friendly enough? Would the surrounding classmates think anything about you speaking fluent Russian?' She made a stronger effort to drown them out with her mantra of 'This is going well'

The class chose this time to move, hide and get ready to enact the plan. She inwardly cursed. Sometimes the universe had terrible timing. She got up and hid herself under the teacher's directions.
