I'm Almost There (Open)

[Bella Donna]

First impressions are usually the most important, and the impression she was getting after stepping in the front door to the mansion was that the security here was incredibly lax. Surely a person shouldn’t be able to simply walk into a place like this, considering the kind of people it was home too. Perhaps they had noticed her and were waiting for the opportune moment to jump out and interrogate her. She wasn’t exactly ready for an impromptu battle but if the need arose she would handle it the best she could. No one had answered when she knocked and finding the door open she had made her way into the entrance, only to find it empty.

Standing near the open door she pulled at the cuffs of her jacket in a very un-assassin like way and said loudly, “hello…anybody here?”

Despite the lack of people there was certainly enough to look at. A lot of very expensive things to look at, a lot of money must go into this place, she wondered where they got it from. She was growing a little impatient and folding her arms she grumbled, “must all be out savin’ de world or sumt’in stupid like dat.”

[Kenny Orion]

Kenny was just slowly walking by the halls feeling a bit worn out from some exercises at the weight room as he was clad in some long shorts and a black tank top as he just wanted to go and get some water for now. He was just about to head straight for the kitchen to get a drink when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. The young mutant decided to go and check out who it was as he felt like he should go ahead and make whoever it was that is knocking at the door feel at least welcome.

He then stopped at the door and saw that it was a tall and lovely looking lady which made him a bit nervous and scared. He was starting to adjust to speaking to people in the mansion but he never thought he would be He took a look at her and gave a small smile as he waved at her hoping to speak to her. "Hello there Miss, um can i help you with anything?" he said with a nervous tone hoping she wasn't a mean person at all.

[Bella Donna]

Bella looked at the boy in front of her for a moment and his rather sweaty appearance and wondered if this was really the welcoming committee the place could afford to have. It wasn’t exactly selling itself having this sweat drenched boy come up to the visitors and asking if there was anything they could help with. She felt like saying ‘why no, Ah’m jus’ standin’ in dis doorway cause ah’m worried dere’s gonna be an earthquake.’

Instead she smiled and said, “Ah here dis is some kinda place dat can help a person wit dere powers. An’ I got some information dat ah t’ought might be useful for ya’ll.”

She didn’t like to be kept waiting and it had took a lot to say all that with a smile on her face, however strained it may have started to become. She realised most of the people probably had better things to do with their time but surely they were crying out for new recruits. Not that she wanted to be a new recruit, all she wanted was a handle on these powers…and maybe a little help finding a certain someone.

[Kenny Orion]

After Kenny asked the woman if he can help her with anything he noticed that she was looking at him for a bit as if something was odd about him. He felt bad about not washing up though because he had just gotten out of the weight room when he heard the door and couldn't help it at all. However the young mutuant noticed that the lady was smiling as she was speaking to him, he wiped some of the sweat off his brow, so that at least he can look a bit decent around a lady before responding.

"Well, you said you got infomation? Whats the info about?" He asked with a bit of concern as if something was wrong and then he realized he was a fool for not introducing himself. "I'm very sorry for looking like this, I was only keeping fit and i was about to clean up until i heard a knock. My name is Kenny, who are you?" he asked the lady trying to keep a good conversation.

[Bella Donna]

Now the sweaty young man as asking her for her info? As if she would hand over such a thing without something in return, and definitely not to this welcoming party. No, if she was going to give out any information like that it was going to be to the head honcho, the bossman himself. Not some underling. However, she was determined to make at least a semi-good impression, after all, she did want the help of these people.

“Well dis information don’ really concern ya, Kenny was it? I t’ink it’d be better if you jus go’on an take me t’yer leader,” she said and suppressed the urge to laugh, “or of course ya’ could tell him a nice young lady at de door wouldn’t mind a word if he’s got de time. Auddahwise I can take my information elsewhere.”

Folding her arms she smirked a little and said, “Ah’m sure dere’s plenty of people out dere dat would just love t’get dere hands on dis kind o’information. Wouldn‘t wanna be de little boy dat stood in de way of dat now would ya?”

[Guido Carosella]

Guido ambled by the foyer on his way to the kitchen. It was getting to be suppertime, and there were few things worse than having a house full of adolescent mutants whining that they were hungry. It took a while to prepare that much food, but Guido didn't mind. Cooking was actually a lot of fun for him, although his dishes tended to be pretty simple comfort food type stuff. Tatiana was the one to go to if you wanted fancy stuff.

Hearing conversation, he glanced towards the door. The first, second and third things he noticed was a tall, athletic and totally hot blond woman standing in the doorway. His attention eventually made its way to a sweaty Kenny attempting to act as the official ambassador of the Xavier house.

Oh hell no.

Stepping up behind Kenny, he grinned his most dashing grin. "Hi there. Sorry about Kenny here, he usually showers, honest. Somethin' I can help ya with?"

[Bella Donna]

Now this was more like it. This was definitely the kind of welcome she had expected from such a place and she was not disappointed…anymore. Not that she had anything against the kid, wrong time, wrong place, wrong time of the month and all that, perhaps she’d been a little hard on him. In the end it would make him a stronger person though, nothing like a good dose of bitchy to build some character. Continuing the boys education she ignored him completely and grinned at the towering figure now standing behind him.

“Well, she said, I was lookin’ fo’ de big boss man, but I’ll quite happily settle fo’ ‘big’ instead,” she said crossing over to him and holding out her hand, “I’m Bella Donna.”
