Hope Abbott (zoned_out) wrote in academy_x,

To say that hope was overwhelmed by everything would be the understatement of the century. Megan, with her bright pink hair and faerie wings. Jono, talking inside of her head among other things. Jubilee, with her glittered shirts and gigantic gestures. Hope had never really been around other mutants before, especially ones with such obvious physical mutations. So she wasn't sure how to react to it all. She just let it all sink in, not saying anything as Megan word vomitted everywhere. Hope could barely keep up with what she was saying given the speed she was talking and her accent. She thought that she had picked up everything she was saying. Something about people trying to blow them up. "Oh...Great....Grand....Wonderful..." Hope sarcastically said, suddenly feeling very apprehensive about this whole training business.

Before Hope even had a chance to come down from meeting Megan, Jubilee came into the picture and dashed any hopes of this being a normal team. Hope tried to be excited about meeting everyone but if the rest of the team were as glittery and hyperactive as Megan and Jubes then Hope was turning tail and running for home at the first chance she got. Seeing Jubilee produce the shirt from her bag, Hope said "Oh. You shouldn't have..." She turned the shirt over in her hands, getting a close look at it, "I mean....You....really.....shouldn't......have...." Thankfully Jubilee wasn't a telepath otherwise she would be picking up on a string of curse words about what Hope knew she had to do next.

Glitter. Hope hated glitter. It was the work of the devil. Once it's on you, it never comes off. It's like a shiny barnacle from hell. Hope swallowed her pride and donned the glittery shirt of doom, trying her best to not get any of it on her skin or hair. She knew it was a losing battle though as it seemed that there was more glitter than fabric. But alas, manners were important to Hope and she wanted to make a good first impression on her teammates, especially seeing as they would be spending quite a bit of time together. Hope glanced toward the couch at Jono and gave him a pleading look. She hoped that he would do something to pry her away from the "Glitterati" as Hope would now call Megan and Jubilee. He seemed resolute in his apathy sitting there on the couch, looking like somebody just kicked his dog. Hope couldn't blame him, if she had to deal with those two on a daily basis, the only option she could see would be to seek refuge in a friendly foreign nation.

"So...What have I missed?" Hope asked toward Sean.
