[julienned]

Now you're catching on.

[skinofalizard]

You bait me, Julian Keller.

[julienned]

I'm a master at it.

[skinofalizard]

There it is.

[julienned]

And now we have come a complete circle.

[skinofalizard]

Not until I ask if you use your TK for it.

[julienned]

No, I don't. But I have tried.

[skinofalizard]

Sorry my mutation's more awesome.

[julienned]

You tell yourself that.

[skinofalizard]

It's the only way I can sleep at night.

[julienned]

Especially given that you're not allowed to jerk off before going to sleep.

[skinofalizard]

What, did you make up a schedule for me?

[julienned]

I figured you had that in hand.

[...beat.]

[awkward.]

[skinofalizard]

Well, not anymore.

[julienned]

You still have ... hands.

I just wouldn't use them for that.

[skinofalizard]

Fortunately I have other options. I guess the tongue's good for something, after all.

[julienned]

[he gives him a sardonic thumbs up with his mangled hand. then he winces a little]

Huh.

[skinofalizard]

You okay?

[julienned]

I'm going to have to get this fixed.

[skinofalizard]

Probably a good idea. Maybe Iron Man could do it for you, if he's still around.

[julienned]

His name's come up a few times.

[skinofalizard]

Play your cards right and he might even add a laser for you.

[julienned]

What would I do with a laser? I can do that with my powers already.

[skinofalizard]

Sure, but lasers are cool.


... And yes, I know I hang out with Santo too much.

[julienned]

[he holds up a finger, pointing across the room, frowning in concentration a minute

and then a stream of red light shoots out from somewhere around his finger to the other side of the room, burning a shallow hole in the wall before he stops it.]

See. Laser. I'm still working on different colours.
