See you during the application round!
♦ So you're new to this world and have just woken up in the Town Square. How do you react? What do you do?
♦ You're lost at sea. Maybe you got separated from your crew. Or perhaps you're on an abandoned island. You need help!
♦ "Pirates off the starboard bow!" It's an enemy ship! Attack!!
♦ You and your crew are hanging out on your ship. Just another day at sea!
♦ "LAND, HO!" Hey look, a new island! How about you go explore it? Tell us what you find!
♦ Arrr, here be buried treasure, but not all that glitters is gold! Will ye be telling your mateys what ye found, or keeping it for yourselves?

[Gene plops down in front of a tree, folding his hands behind his head and leaning his back against the trunk.]
Been a long time since I got to rest under the shade of a natural tree.

No. No, not that Sentinel. She realizes it as he keeps talking, and she breathes a small sigh of relief. Not that it wouldn't have been nice to meet someone else from her world here, but.]
Sounds like somethin' outta a book where I'm from.

[Which is probably different than what she knows as a biosphere, but... Meaning's easy enough to grasp. Especially thanks to Kurt and Scott liking sci-fi.]
no subject
[Come to think of it...]
...Actually, it's not all that different from this. We've got pirates, overzealous law enforcement, and guys like my crew. People in the grey.
no subject
Usually a term for "selfishness" or "we do whatever we want, screw everyone else." But Rogue knew better than to actually say anything like that. Now wasn't the time for sassing someone.
Especially with that fall if he gave her a shove.]
We don' have pirates, not that call themselves that, at least, but... Think every place has somethin' like those groups.

[She missed Scott's car. And the van. And the jet. Oh, God, the jet.]
I mean, maybe you spend a couple days in a car if you're goin', like, a long way, but that's it.

With people knowing about the Xavier Institute and knowing she lived there, it came with the territory.]
Depends what y' call "cool," I guess.
no subject
no subject
[No use hiding it. Better if people know, actually. None of this stupid 'skin condition' bs. Besides, here? People needed to know. So they could avoid anything happening.]
But it ain't what I'd call "cool."

no subject
[She says it as she holds up her hand. Gloved, so there's no danger.]
I get it all. Memories, abilities, powers if someone's got 'em. The memories an' just physical abilities stay -- like muscle memory stuff. But the powers don' long.
Longer I hold onto someone, more I get. More I keep.

no subject
[Because in theory, it was amazing. There was a world of skills, all literally at her fingertips. Anything she wanted to be good at, she could be. She only had to find the right person to touch.]
But it hurts people. If it's just a tap, just unsteadies 'em. Anythin' more? Well.
One guy took my arm once. Just t' help me up when I fell. Let go pretty quick 'cause it hurt. Still nearly wound up in a coma.
[She'd learned a little control since then, but there wasn't a lot of opportunity to practice. The professor didn't want her using her powers unless she had to.]
no subject
no subject
[Because, theoretically, it was possible.
Just like, theoretically, Scott would someday not need his glasses to control his eyes.
But Scott had been working on his for a lot longer than she had, and they were both far from having that kind of control.]
no subject
Granted, I'm not sure how, but it's not the first time I accepted a task before I made a plan. Flying by the seat of my pants is kinda' my thing.
no subject
Y'know, I think I'll pass.
no subject
Eh? What? What did I say?
no subject
I'll pass.
no subject
no subject
[Because she wouldn't do it. She didn't trust herself enough for that.]
'Cause I don' mess with things like that.
