"Ah..." Gorgon sits back. "How did I end up in America, do you mean? Well... I wassss working in my garden, when my maid, Ama, came to tell me that dinner wasss ready. I didn't noticssse her comming up behind me, and, I sssat up, sssudenly. Unfortunatly, thisss... ssstartled my hair, and resssulted in Ama getting bitten.... She... almossst died." Gorgon looks sad at this. "My father decsssided that I needed to be sssent of to sssome finishing school in America, to learn ssssome more control..." She snorts slightly.

Gorgon smiles, and shakes her head no. "Mm. Indeed. I wasss ssupposssed to have been picked up at the airport, when I arrived. I waited for ssseveral hoursss, but no-one came. Eventually, Shadow came by, and sssaw me sssiting there, alone, and offered me a placssse to ssstay. The ressst, asss my English teacher alwaysss usssed to sssay, isss hissstory."

::Hayley smirks at that last comment, and sits quiet a moment, thinking.:: Hmm...Well...At least your parents still spoke to you...Mine were scared to death of me after Ah got my powers...Ah juss ran away...Ah left Alabama, went to Miami, Florida, and got a job as a lifeguard. A girl Ah met down there, another mutant, told me about the Institute, and Ah decided to come check it out...The Professor had already tried to contact me once before Ah came, but Ah didn't know what to think of it at first...

"A life guard... How appropriate." Gorgon smiles friendly. "And now? That you've been here a bit- Do you know what to think of it?"

::She thinks a moment.:: Well...It definitely beats livin' with people who're terrified of you...And at the mansion, everyone pretty much sticks up for each other. You always have someone to talk to.. ::smirks:: When you want to, that is...It's been an experience definitely...A lot's happened, some good, some not-so-good, but all of it's helped me in some way...Yea-Ah'm glad Ah came...

"That'sss good." Gorgon sips the tea she ordered, making a slight face at the taste. "That'sss one reassson I love living where I do now- I don't have to hide mysssself or be ashamed anymore. I'm arround people who think the sssame way I do... It'sss lovely, really."

::Hayley nods.:: Exactly...We should never have to live with people who think we're either dangerous or second-class just because we have something they don't.

Gorgon smiles, and points at Hydroa. "Not only sssomething they don't have... Ssssomething better. Take my family, for inssstancssse- for 16 yearssss I lived with them telling me I wassss a pervisssion of nature, and I needed to hide myssself from the eyesss of sssociety. But now I know better... Now I know that I am sssuperior, in all waysss. I have achieved naturally what alchimesssstssss have been trying for yearsss to do...namely turn one sssubsstancsse into sssomething completly different."

::Hayley nods, and they continue this talk for a while. The waitress comes eventually, gathers their plates and leaves their checks. They leave the restaurant in Gorgon's car and drive around the city a while, just talking and having a bit of fun...::

Fumio walks into an IHOP, wet, and dripping. The storm is pretty much over, it would appear, except it's still raining steadily out. The wind has died out though.
Going up the counter, he asses the menu, in comparison to his funds. Finding a suitable meal he can afford, he orders, and then sits in wait for his meal.

Fumio looks up and grins. "Heeeey.... Some weather, huh. Not much, not much... Have a seat!"

Already have. It looks like it's dying down. I hate bad weather. It took me forever to find my apartment through the rain and hail.
