[Thread] Mercury Rising Characters: Josh Foley & Cessily Kincaid. NPCs: Doctor Bradley Location: Chemistry class, Xavier's School. Timeline: Monday, March 9. Description: Josh and Cessily get assigned as lab partners. Hostility ensues. Rating: Medium.
Josh was crossing his fingers that he would get paired up with someone who actually gave a crap about their grade and knew what they were doing. Sure, chemistry class was fun when they were mixing chemicals to make things explode or what-not, but the paperwork was really boring and tedious. But that was the best part of partner work, wasn't it? He could paw it off to someone else to do it and reap the benefits.
And it wouldn't hurt to get matched up with one of the girls in class. He was so always looking to meet new girls. As long as they weren't shark girl or eight-feet-tall or have demon horns.
"Wait what?"
He blinked and did a double take that Doctor Bradley didn't take too kindly to, then turned and looked at Cessily a few rows away. Who was now his lab partner for the week.
Or shiny silver skin.
He totally jinxed it. Begrudgingly, he stood up and moved to the lab table. Cessily was pretty all right, he guessed, but he would be lying if he said her powers and appearance didn't freak him out. She wasn't exotic, like the way Jen was.
