It’s a good thing Artie was one of the first Shelby had met, then, since others here probably wouldn’t have been as keen at Shelby’s inquisitiveness. But it’s not like she knew the social etiquette for all this mutant stuff. While Artie was focusing on the drum set up, Shelby went about quickly clicking through the game menu to start a new session and bring up the song selections. By the time the next bubble appeared, her attention was back on the other mutant, and she was still grinning at how kind of awesome that was. “Artie, that’s a cool name! And oh em gee please tell me everyone here has neato powers like yours. That’d be so…” Not really able to come up with the right word at the moment, Shelby just shook her head, still grinning. In a second here she’ll notice Artie’s lack of talking, but it hasn’t exactly hit home yet.

“This place is so cool already. I mean, seriously, though, this place is tons better than my last school.” Of course, this school did have the unfortunate side effect of putting her in a place all her friends weren’t, but that’s what the internet was for and after everything that happened that one day, things had been a little bit different, anyway. And of course, sadly enough, at some point or another Shelby’s going to learn first hand about the inherent dangers of living at Xavier’s and seriously wonder about this place.
