[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 don't know that he's gone back. He might have gone somewhere else. Or he might go back and remember.

[julienned]

He definitely went back. He'd never go to anywhere else.

[needs_a_hg]

He might remember.

[julienned]

He could. There's no way he could do the same things he did, knowing what happens.

[needs_a_hg]

Yeah. And then something could change.

[julienned]

A lot of things would. We'd wake Foley out of his catatonia without ... without Laura getting hurt, and we'd make sure that you didn't get captured, and no-one would have to go to Limbo.

[needs_a_hg]

He'll remember.

[julienned]

There's no way he wouldn't.

[needs_a_hg]

And he'll make things better. Even if it's not for us, even if the changes mean that we don't feel it, it'll still be better for someone.

[julienned]

It'll be us! Just not ... us-us.

[needs_a_hg]

Yes. Somewhere, there will be a universe where he changed things.

[julienned]

Yeah. There will be.

[needs_a_hg]

[have another, slightly less desperate, hug]

If anybody asks, that's what happened.

[julienned]

Yeah. That has to be what happened.

[needs_a_hg]

And he could come back, too. Vic did.

[julienned]

Yeah, he could.

[needs_a_hg]

Yeah. Maybe we should keep the room free, just in case.

[julienned]

No. We keep it free, someone will get moved in there. Someone who never knew him. We don't allow that. We take control of the situation and decide who lives with us, and that's no-one.

[needs_a_hg]

... yeah, you're right. I don't want some stranger moving in. So who is taking the room?

[julienned]

Me.

[needs_a_hg]

[oh no but she liked when you were supervised]

Nobody else wanted it?

[julienned]

Nope.

[needs_a_hg]

Okay.

You know if you lock that door, I will just come right in anyway.

[julienned]

Could you knock to make sure I'm not changing?

[needs_a_hg]

I guess I can do that.
