Ororo had received a message from Xavier about a new recruit who might have the wrong room. She sighed as she would have words later with Ryuusei about not finishing his duties before running off to somewhere else. There was still a lot that boy needed to learn about being apart of a team. Her hands folded over her stomach as her footsteps echoed in the empty hall.
While most of their students were off training or studying, she could hear the voice of Charis clearly. A sadden smile crossed her features. She knew what it was like to not have parents around. She had grown up in the streets of Cargo until she moved to Kenya. It was during this time that she was treated like a goddess as she brought in the rains.
She knocked softly on the door as a smile crossed her face. "You must be Charis? The professor sent be to show you to your actual room. It seems as if your guide got distracted. Gather your things and follow me."

Charis was looking out the window when there was a knock at the door and a voice...a voice she knew very well even though they never met till now...the voice of a warrior and the voice of weather...
She turned and she was dead-on right...It was Storm!
She did her best to go into full fangirl mode but had a huge smile on her face.
"Yes Ms. Munroe...Storm...Ms. Storm...I'm sorry I'm just not sure what to call my idol growing up..." As she grabbed her bags and was ready to follow.

"Ms. Munroe would be fine. Storm is only used for missions that we go on." She stepped back from the doorway as she watched the girl gather her things to move to a different room. It was not the first member to go all fan on her. She never felt that she did anything special, just doing her best to keep peace in the world.
She walked down the hallway to the stair case which lead up a floor of the mansion. Her hand trailed on the banister as she headed up. "Where do you come from? And which name do you prefer to be called?"

She smiled and walked out carrying her things, "Thank you, Ms. Munroe I can't wait to start learning from you and the others this is a dream come true to be here. I'm from New York and Charis is fine as long as it around everyone that needs to know."
She looked up the staircase and started up stairs forgetting that she was to follow Ms. Monroe as she stopped halfway, "I'm sorry, I started walking ahead of you...I wasn't paying attention."

Ororo nodded her head as Charis started up the stairs. She could tell that this girl was rather excited and anxious to be in a new place. She remembered own feeling when she was recruited to be here. The school had grown in ways she could not imagine since then.
"It is fine, up two flights of stairs and then to the right."
She waited for the young mutant to head up the next floor. She had a feeling there would be a lot of questions asked. "Please ask any questions that arise. I am here to answer any that you have."

Charis smiled down at her and nodded, grabbing her things again, and went up another floor and set her stuff down to rest for a moment.
"Ms. Monroe...is there anyone else...like me that is? I was hoping that I'm not the only one that can produce arms other than her own and shoot elements of the shape of her body? Please tell me I'm not alone anymore...I don't wanna be alone anymore..."

Ororo looked at Charis as she laughed a little. She knew what it was hard being a mutant on their own. She had spent some years in Africa. The girl asked a good question about powers. She paused for a moment as the girl needed to catch her breath.
"There are people who have like powers. Usually, they run in families. As for being alone, you will not be alone here. As you get to know everyone, you will find your place and that we are all family. You are with like people. Are you ready to see your room?"

Hearing Ms. Ororo speak to her in such a calm way helped Charis stay that way as she grabbed her things again. She would always miss her folks but wasn't alone anymore. She was surrounded by other people with different powers and abilities and Charis wanted to get to know everyone...she wanted to see and feel new things...like having friends and waking up late for class and accidentally running out in her pajamas...she knew it wouldn't be easy, nothing ever was...but this...this was a good start.
"Yes mam I'm ready to go see it, I think I packed too much..." She told Miss Storm.

Ororo smiled as she nodded her head. She started down the hallway as she laughed a little bit. "I don't think there is such a thing as packing too much. One never knows what you need while living far from home."
She led them further down the hall as they passed several doors that were cracked open with students chatting inside. It was nice to hear so many different voices. She stopped towards the end as she knocked gently on the door. As there was no answer, she opened the door. Half of the room was empty. Ororo stepped back as she pointed to Charis's half.
"You get half of the room. Please be respectful when you decorate. The space is mainly yours. Please let one of the teachers know if you are having issues. We will happily sort things out."

Charis smiled as she continued to walk toward her room with one of her heroes, one of her idols, and then hearing the others in their rooms solidified in her mind about the fact she wasn't alone anymore.
When Ms. Ororo showed her the room, she got excited and turned to her and ran over and hugged her but then quickly backed off embarrassed... "Sorry about that...I think I'm just too excited and happy about this new adventure. I could run like 50 laps around the school to make it up to you if you want"

Ororo smiled as she patted the girl on the back as the hug was unexpected. She chuckled at the mention of running 50 laps around the school. Charis was defiantly one of the most excited students that she had known.
"Well I am happy that you want to be here. It is a good school to belong to as we teach you how to use your powers. Would you like to set up your side of the room now or get a tour of the rest of the school?"

Charis broke the hug and then thought about the question she was asked. She did her best not to think long as not to waste her Idol's time, "I would like to see the rest of the school please"
She was so excited to see everything, now that she felt like she was where she needed to be after...it donned on her mind why she was there for a moment but she then snapped out of it and was ready to go on the tour.

Ororo nodded her head as she heard the answer. She stepped away from the room and into the hallway. She headed back to the stairs as spoke softly. She figured that it would not be a bad idea to start with the different rooms on the main level before working down through the subterranean. It would allow the young woman to understand all that they have to offer.
She spoke softly, "If there is anything to help make your stay more comfortable, please don't hesitate to ask any of the teachers or older members. We want to make sure everyone is as comfortable as possible. Should you get home sick, there are a variety of ways to combat that, just speak up."
It was the same speech she usually gave new comers. It guided most students back to them. They reached the main floor as Ororo took a turn to the left. She pointed out the different rooms. "There are a few different places for everyone to watch TV. Chances are that if you have a favorite show, so do others. There is a sign up sheet for everyone to get at least an hour of control a week. Please be respectful of when your time up. If your roommate agrees, you may also have a shared TV in your room as well. We also have a couple of pool tables and some pinball machines." She paused in front of the kitchen and dining area. "Here we try and cook meals for everyone. Please let us know if you have any special dietary needs. You can grab whatever snacks you want along with some of the healthier options."

Charis nodded to her and followed looking at and into every room that she could so to make sure she remembered where everything was. She thought for a moment about watching TV later but she hadn't in so long that she would have no clue what to watch. Maybe one of her fellow X-men would know some cool show that's on.
She then stopped at the kitchen and told Ms. Ororo, "Actually there is, it's not an allergy or anything but I do not like nuts at all. Anything else I can and probably will munch on. Just not nuts about nuts..."
Charis hoped that her idol got the silly joke she made at the end.

Ororo chuckled at the joke. It was simple and worked. She knew of a few other students who loved to make silly jokes such as that. She nodded at the statement. "Well we have enough variety were that will not matter. We tend to cook a few dishes with nuts so you can easily avoid those."
She walked out of the kitchen as the main rooms of the house were noted. She pointed down the hallway to the left and right of the kitchen. "These hold the class rooms in which you will learn more about controlling your powers. There will be times when you get to put what you learn into use."
She walked out into the back of the mansion as she stepped aside. "There is a basketball court and some hiking trails. There are also a variety of lawn games and what not in the shed. Please feel free to use them as long as you remember to put them back."
