3rd Floor Common Room - Late, Late Night, Saturday

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

It was Saturday. What was the point of sleeping on a Saturday night when that's what you could use Sunday for? It wasn't like they had classes until Monday. That was Ferris' reasoning for being up unreasonably late, dressed in his bathrobe, and in the 3rd floor common room. The TV wasn't on in case the people next door wanted to sleep. Besides, he was busy turning the room into one giant blanket and pillow fort. This activity was much quieter and still managed to fulfil his need for controlled chaos.

Plus, sometimes Ferris was a big kid.

"Jamie Madrox," he said picking up a pillow and a blanket. "And I think I just realized a great way to take care of the pillow shortage."

And then there was a bunch of stamping of feet and lots of Jamies.

All holding pillows and blankets.

The dupes threw them on the floor and were quickly reabsorbed.

"Nice to meet you Ferris now damn it! Time's wasting! Let's get this fort moving! Hut! Hut! Hut!"

"Jamie, I hate to be the new guy, really I do, but once we've finished with the more pressing issue of building this fort, would you mind explaining the self-cloning system you've got installed?"

"Oh! I'm a mutant," Jamie said as he started shifting some of the pillows around. "Got this whole gene thing that allows me to take kinetic energy and create exact duplicates of myself. Always handy when you need a fifth person for poker night."

"No, really." He paused. "No, really? Mutant. Genetics." He spread out a blanket, ready to drape it where it needed to go. "Sounds like something out of a comic book."

"Yes really," Jamie said. "And there's others like me around as well. Well not necessarily here and now but everyone here is a tad different somehow. Where do you hail from Ferris other than a place without mutants?"

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

"Shermer, Illinois. It's Chicago, only more north than the main city. Definitely no mutants. I didn't know there were places with mutants until you Xeroxed yourself. The green guy I thought I saw yesterday, was he a mutant too? He looked like he was wearing a turtle suit."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Oh that must have been one of the turtles," Jamie said. "No idea if they're really mutants but they sure have a thing for pizza. Anyhow welcome to Fandom, Bueller. And don't sweat the strange stuff you see the first week. It'll be old hat after a month."

"My fake big sister said that. I don't think this was what I had in mind when she said it." He shrugged. "It's better than the stuffy old boarding school I thought my parents had sent me too. Tell me, Jamie, have you ever considered using your powers for mischief?" He had to ask.

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Mischief? Ferris. Shame on you! With great power comes great responsi- Oh, who am I kidding?" Jamie said breaking into a grin. "Hell I took over the school for a day until the baked goods turned against me."

Ferris gaped a little to stop himself from being overwhelmed with a sense of glee. "Jamie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

"Careful Ferris," Jamie said with a smirk. "There's a dartboard with my picture on it in the teacher's lounge. I'm not sure I'm comfortable sharing that spot with someone else."

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

"Then I'll let you take all the credit," he grinned.

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"I like you Ferris," Jamie replied with a chuckle. "What do you want to blow up first?"

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

"I'm hoping you mean in the 'confetti and loud noises' way, because I prefer my mischief to be more controlled chaos than carnage."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Well nobody has any fun if they're dead," Jamie replied. "I'm not that crazy. Chaos on the other hand is always fun."

"Then we're definitely on the same page. I think it's probably best, considering my history with the title, to introduce myself personally to the Dean of Students. What do you think would be the best approach?"

"Well I got to know her by stealing her car," Jamie replied. "I don't that that scored me any points. Maybe by suggesting an extracurricular activity?"

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

"You continue to impress me. Stop it, I may have to start your fan club and then we'll both be embarrassed."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"We'll just have a mutual appreciation society. It makes things easier and we don't have to pay club fees."
