Greetings

[x_medusa]

My sister informed me that new residents of the mansion are expected to introduce themselves on this journal system. Greetings to all, I am Medusalith Amaquelin of Attilan, but most people call me Medusa. And, fitting enough, my power has to do with control of my hair. That is what occurs when a mutant with the gift of precognition tells your parents what your abilities will be prior to your birth.

I will be attending Columbia University in the fall, which I have just realized means that courses begin this Tuesday. Are there any other individuals who live here that will be attending Columbia?

Crystal has told me a lot about Xavier's and all the residents, so I am curious to see how her descriptions will match up with my experiences.

I am reserving judgment over this place and the people in it for now. Devil or imp, I do not think it is ever appropriate for a teacher to lash out at a student, especially one who is new and adjusting to the customs of a foreign land.

No arguments here. Hence why I apologized for it several times. It's a pity she holds a grudge but there's not much I can do about it.

Perhaps she did not feel your apology held true remorse. I cannot say that I know the thoughts that run through my sister's mind, but she is generally a kind and caring individual and holding a grudge does not sound like her. However, what is the saying? I believe it goes something like "First impressions are lasting."

I'm sure she is, most people are, I think. It's a fairly normal teenage thing to hold grudges, I don't expect her to be an adult. Heck, it would be a strange high school experience if you didn't have at least one teacher who you thought came from a hell dimension.

And you're right they are, particularly if you already made up your mind that you're above everyone you meet. Everyone likes to be proven right and changing your mind requires so much effort.

Anyway, welcome to America, my lady. I'm sure you'll be unimpressed.

I find it ironic that you are attempting to lecture me on this topic when it is obvious that you have your mind up about me, just as you had your mind up about Crystal, based on our upbringing. I did not choose to be born into a royal family, just as you did not choose to be born into your family. I try to keep an open mind whenever I meet new people, but in this circumstance, I will put forth the effort when you are willing to do the same.

Nah. I based it off the fact that you showed zero humor about my greeting. It's a fairly good barometer. I'm kinda disappointed actually. I had such hopes.

Actually, I'm adopted so I'm not actually from the family I was born into what with my bio parents being dead and all. Still, point taken. We don't hold Wanda's dad against her.

Lorna, we're going for a walk now.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Bother, I'm in trouble, aren't I?

[x-legion.livejournal.com]

No. I think you just need some away-time from the keyboard. A walk'll clear your head.

A long walk.

That explains why I just saw Mr. Haller walking out with Ms. Dane slung over his shoulder.
