[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.

[skinofalizard]

I'm just surprised it wasn't green.

[julienned]

That's my telekinetic aura, dumbass. I can't help that.

[skinofalizard]

And here I thought it was your favorite color and that's why you hung out with me.

[julienned]

It's blue, but nice try.

[skinofalizard]

Huh. Then you'd think Kurt would piss you off less.

[julienned]

He's another one who is like "oh once my cat ran away".

[skinofalizard]

Yeah, I've noticed that sometimes. He means well, but needs to learn how to just listen sometimes.

[julienned]

Are we even allowed to say that a mutant has it better than us? I mean, he's blue. But they get to go to a normal school and no-one's tried to set them on fire or anything.

[skinofalizard]

I don't know. I mean, he still had to use that holograph device and be ashamed of his physical mutations to get to go to that normal school and not be set on fire, so it's not like it was all rainbows and flowers for him, either. But I guess comparatively he's had it pretty good.

[julienned]

Makes you wonder how Cess'd be if she could use one of those.

[skinofalizard]

What would any of us be like if we were in that universe?
