[So here's a quick but interesting question! Have you ever seen someone sniff the barrier?

...well, now you have.]

[apparently concentrating very hard as she takes in long, deep breaths and walks slowly along the barrier]

[mind_over_metal]

*waits patiently, apparently not wanting to interrupt whatever it is she's doing*

[sensationalyst]

[well, it took her a second because she was following a specific scent, but now she can smell you watching, so she turns your way and... wonders if there's any chance she didn't just look like she was sniffing along the edge of the barrier :x]

...hello.

[mind_over_metal]

Hello. Checking out the new neighbourhood?

[sensationalyst]

I wanted a closer look at the barrier.

[mind_over_metal]

*nods to it*

A bit of a non-traditional look, it seems, but that would be fitting for a non-traditional barrier, wouldn't it?

[sensationalyst]

That wasn't... I just happened to smell something while I was looking.

[come on, man, my abilities are supposed to be a secret :<]

[mind_over_metal]

*chuckles*

My dear, you'll find that people here are quite accustomed to things outside of what most would consider the norm and, as such, know what to look for and what to call it when they see it.

[sensationalyst]

[flounders for a response]

[mind_over_metal]

Please, don't panic. Many things that have to be hidden elsewhere are just... normal here.

[sensationalyst]

[okay, looking less panicky, but still not really sure what to say]

Um...

[mind_over_metal]

*offers her a warm smile and holds a hand out to her*

I'm Professor Charles Xavier.

[sensationalyst]

[...handshake]

Rachel Pirzad.

[mind_over_metal]

A pleasure to meet you, Rachel. I have to say, I'm very curious... Would you mind explaining just what it was that you were doing? I'm a scientist, I'm afraid, and can't help myself.

[sensationalyst]

Like I said, I was examining the barrier... I just wasn't using my eyes.

*not able to repress the excited grin of a kid discovering that he's in a candy store*

...it's your other senses, isn't it? Or, no, all of your senses in general.
