[IC: mutant accommodation decisions]

[julienned]

 [IN THE MUTANT CABIN COMMON ROOM we have Julian straddling a chair and spinning a card on his fingertip. it's a valid use for telekinesis.]

So now we have a spare room.

((OOC: THIS SURE IS SOME IC FALLOUT FROM JAY GUTHRIE DROPPING. Whoever let a bunch of codependent teens live together, anyway. ANYONE IS WELCOME TO TAG IN IF THAT WOULD FILL YOU WITH JOY.))

We do!

[julienned]

One of my teammates just went to his death.

[fuzzybluebamf]

...Doesn't that make this a good time?

[mind_over_metal]

*goes inside, far enough not to be awkward but staying a bit toward the edges of the space. doesn't say anything yet, waiting for Julian's move.*

[mind_over_metal]

*comes inside, far enough into the room to not be clearly awkward but also staying a bit toward the edges of the space*

I'm so, so sorry.

[mind_over_metal]

*glances over to her, gives her a subdued smile*

Hello, Sofia.

[julienned]

I'm not about to insult everyone here by faking it.

[julienned]

We're just rearranging the cabin now Guthrie's gone home.

[fuzzybluebamf]

[sigh]

...Yeah. Sorry.

[julienned]

[he crumples the card by accident.]

...I'm going out.

[fuzzybluebamf]

[... :/a ]

Try not to be gone too long.

[julienned]

I won't.

[blowurmind]

Everyone's sorry. But there aren't enough apologies in the world to make him come back. It sucks. I don't want anyone to leave.

[mind_over_metal]

*glancing around in genuine inquiry*

The cabin itself isn't changing in reaction to it, is it?

[mind_over_metal]

Have you had to deal with others leaving before this?

[julienned]

No. We just already have one spare room, if we have a second then someone will get assigned to it. Someone not a mutant.

[blowurmind]

I've been here for almost two years. People always leave.

[mind_over_metal]

I'm sure that any changes won't be immediate. Here, at least, you do have time.

[mind_over_metal]

*nods*

In that way, at least, this place differs little from the normal world.

[julienned]

No, they would be. We don't get things that work out in our favour.

[blowurmind]

People leave or they die.

[mind_over_metal]

It's an often uncomfortable truth. But how those left behind are affected -- that can make all the difference.

If there's any way that I can better provide assistance to you, please, don't hesitate to let me know.

[mind_over_metal]

Not often. So we have to be that much more prepared to seize onto the opportunity that it might.

[julienned]

Or mitigate the bad. So that's why I moved in.

[blowurmind]

It's not like you can make people come back.
