Mutant High Issue 2: A Hard Lesson

[Relique du Madde]

Miranda smiles at Astrid as she ironically wonders whether Temper's attitude had anything to do with her X-men training squad's downfall.

Temper's speculations about what Alchemist was able to do worried Miranda. "Uhm... does anyone know what exactly Alchy could do? I mean if he was able to do what Temper thinks.. What if he gets brainwashed and is told to turn the ground into radioactive crystals that kills people unless they are able to pay for pills that neutralizes the radioactivity for a day..." She stopped herself and sighed, " Uhm, I mean shouldn't we go looking for him if he's able to do that?"

 

[Jemal]

Kitty grins "I can tell you a lot about him.. but not here. Come on, lets go somewhere else, i've got some... information I think you guys'll find useful."

 

[Relique du Madde]

"Alright, lead the way!"

As soon as Kitty begins to leave, Miranda grabs Pyro by the arm and smiles. "You're coming too. That way we could finish our date if things die down afterwords."

"It's not -illusory-," Astrid suddenly blurts to Temper. She blushes at her own outburst, and tones her volume down a bit.

"The point is that we're all in this together, and that disagreements like what you're talking about are minor...little...distractions from that. So just...stop it for now."

"If discussing minor, little distractions is so problematic, then what common ground exists in the first place? Surely talking about such matters is only revealing a lack of common ideology, culture, beliefs, interests, etc rather creating the division," Temper replies. "Pretending that everyone is in agreement because they're not talking about their differences seems foolish."

Temper's speculations about what Alchemist was able to do worried Miranda. "Uhm... does anyone know what exactly Alchy could do? I mean if he was able to do what Temper thinks.. What if he gets brainwashed and is told to turn the ground into radioactive crystals that kills people unless they are able to pay for pills that neutralizes the radioactivity for a day..." She stopped herself and sighed, " Uhm, I mean shouldn't we go looking for him if he's able to do that?"

That's your worry about his potential ability in the wrong hands?! "Keep in mind that I've only seen him play with his powers during the assembly. I was extrapolating from his nickname - which obviously isn't a reliable source of information."

Kitty grins "I can tell you a lot about him.. but not here. Come on, lets go somewhere else, i've got some... information I think you guys'll find useful."

"I want to get something from my room first, okay?" -> Temper will dash off to retrieve her sketchpad and some pencils.

To Temper (before she leaves): "But he IS able to change things from one substance to another.... yesterday he turned the ground into water... and Phase said he could do other things.."

 

[Jemal]

*OOC: Actually, it was PHASE who turned the ground into water. So far alchemist has only shown the ability to change things into other things composed of the same material. Phase changes a things state [Earth(Solid)/air(gas)/water(Liquid)/fire(Plasma)]

Serena heads off to the Danger Room, after getting directions from a passing teacher. For now, she's happily talking to anyone who wants to strike up a conversation, without committing to anything or anyone, seeing who is who and trying to garner what the social hierarchy at the school is.

"Oh my GOD, Temper! How can you be so smart and so THICK?" Calypso demands.

"We're not pretending there's agreement! It's recognizing that we ARE in agreement about the important things. Things like rights and responsibilities and...all the things we learn about in classes...and what it means to be mutants? And with all the things we DO agree about, the disagreements you're...obsessing over are tiny and...stupid."

"Seriously...who CARES about politics when people are trying to KILL us?"

 

[drothgery]

"Seriously...who CARES about politics when people are trying to KILL us?"

"Not quite how I would have put it." Eric said. "But Calypso has a point."

And if they hadn't dived off into the motivations of an organization that, as a recently as yesterday, I had only the vaguest notion actually existed, then I probably wouldn't have reinforced the thoughts anyone still harboring 'dumb jock' stereotypes about me by just standing here. Which is silly. I mean, there are a handful of people here with superhuman intelligence, but other than that, I'm one of the smartest people here ...

Spike awaits for Logan's reply, before deciding on what to do... (bump)
