"Good luck at math!" she said to Shawn in parting. She saw how troubled he looked about something but she felt herself almost freezing up trying to bring it up in the best way before he left, but then he was gone. Off to math, and she was just standing in the middle of the corridor awkwardly. She didn't really know any other students who weren't in classes right now well enough to start a comfortable conversation.

So she wandered round, as she did, thinking about her anxiety problems. It was a constant thorn in her side, and the only problem that not just didn't get better from complex analysis, but actually got worse. The most rational thing to do in a crisis is to stay calm and look for the most rational decision, but back then, in that crisis, she was so scared. She needed to be able to handle those kinds of situations if she din't want to become a liability to the group. Like last time. What good is a living supercomputer who's so afraid of responsibility that she refuses to come up with a plan alone?

Heidi started to walk towards Booker's office. She might be able to catch him now, and if he's busy, at least let him know she'd like a meeting later.

Ooh, Jean might be a good fit. She'd know that Heidi's thinking about stuff, and they're both very cerebral mutants so there might be some relationship there.

That could go for Emma too, actually, and Emma's more associated with this team so that might be a better option. I might just work on a post where she says bye to Shawn and then wanders around in though, and yo can pick who bumps into her.

So, is everybody in class right now? If so, which teachers are free?

The X-Pendibles

I found it. It was six pages back.

Shawn's Timetable: Free, Philosophy, Math, Science, P.E., Lunch, Am. History, Language, Free

Heidi's Timetable: Free, Philosophy, Free, F. Lang., P.E., Lunch, Am. History, Free, Music

Bonny's Timetable: Free, History, Math, Business, Free, Lunch, Science, Language, Music

Ah, so Shawn's got Math (where he can interact with Bonny.) but Heidi's got a free period. Hmm, What to have her do...

The X-Pendibles

Does anybody remember the class schedule?

As soon as the explosion rocked the ship, Taleste went crashing to the floor, and the box of supplies fell right on top of her leg. She fought free, pumped up by the surge of adrenaline caused by the alarms. After getting to her feet, she inspected her leg. No damage. Hurts like hell, though. It'll probably bruise later. What a great start to her new life, new ship and new crew. She hadn't been here an hour and something had blown up.

She heard the comms ordering her to report in, and she tried to run from the cargo bay to...well, she'll just look around until she found the assembly point. After a few seconds, she realised running was not going to be an option, and limped up the stairs, hand gripped tight on the handrail the whole way up.

"Any whun there?!" she shouted from the cargo bay. "Whut in the cosmos is going on? Where are we even supposed to go?!"

Question: What moment/sound is Shawn thinking about?

|Birth Name |
» Gary Palmer

|Hails From |
» Los Angeles, California
» January 3rd, 1992 (25)

|Job at AWE |
» Writer

|Skills |
» Gary is exceptionally gifted at crafting narratives that would not be out of place in a bestselling novel. He has a talent for making drama that is the right mix between believable and entertaining. Though he also has a talent for dialogue, he never writes alone. Wherever possible, he brings the wrestler or wrestlers in question in and, with their input, creates promos that feel unique to every performer. After all, nobody knows a wrestler's character better than the wrestler in question.

|Reason for being here |
» After graduation from college with a degree in creative writing, he looked for work. For several years he drifted between jobs he did not enjoy. He was a newspaper columnist, then a journalist, then he tried to break into the world of screenwriting but had no success. All the while he engaged in his real raison d'être, writing novels, and of the few that got published, none of them were successful enough to change his life, or do much more than pay a couple of bills for another few months.

Six months ago he got a call from Kevin Harrison, one of his college friends from the creative writing course, who had a high paying and creatively fulfilling job for him; being on the writing team for the biggest wrestling company in the country! Gary had been a fan of wrestling as a child. Most children he grew up with had. He lost touch with it during his teens but to be one of the people in charge of creating the kind of stories that used to hook him as a child, the kind of stories that may have been one of the things to insire him to write, was a dream come true! He naturally immediately accepted.

|Looks & Style |
» Gary practically never gets involved with anything on-screen. That being said he always wears a shirt and suit trousers to work, and always seems to have a plastic coffee cup or porcelain mug glued to his left hand. He's a big coffee drinker.

|Personality Traits |
» Gary, though talented and creative, is not used to a job this intense, and so is never seen without coffee in his hand. He is practically fueled by it. Another side effect of this lack of experience in such an industry is that he will take his holiday hours the moment he accumulates them, though this has not earned him heat as even when he's on holiday, he maintains an online correspondence with the rest of the writing team and still gives input, feedback and ideas. Really, he never stops working. Even when he's at home, he's thinking about the booking. He dreams about wrestling. It's his life now.

|Favorite wrestler |
» Gary does not play favourites. Ever.

|Rep at AWE |
» Gary is not the universally loved saviour of the writing team that Kevin is, but he still has a good rep with many of the wrestlers. The process of letting the performers have a hand in writing their promos is a very nice touch. Though they don't have complete control and very rarely get permission to improvise, Gary's method is greatly preferred to the old days when everybody had to repeat the given script word for word, and thus, every face sounded the same, and every heel sounded the same, barring catchphrases and some performers just being naturally talented enough to make it work and others not.

@PlatinumSkink

Disregard my post. I didn't know you wanted to don something else because you were persering me to carry on the conversation.

Unless you were waiting on me acknowledging you were leaving before you could go do something else, in which case you should have *told* me.
