Avengers Academy presents, homeless and looking!

[blackandlight]

Man, you act like being photogenic is a bad thing. Those icons aren't gonna make themselves.

Now here's the deal. You wanna drop me in a game? Sure, fine, whatever, have fun, can't be any worse than some places I've been. Two requirements. I want a generous timeshare in the limelight, and let's say-- six hot chicks to cater to my every whim. At least six. Harems are the new black.

Also - no Survivor. Just putting that out there.

[savagely]

No woman would agree to those terms, let alone six of them.

[blackandlight]

Let's not underestimate my charm all at once. It's Lyra, right? I gotta admit, the green threw me off a bit at first, but you know, there's exceptions to every rule...

[savagely]

Including the one where you think everyone is inclined to succumb to your charm. Typical male.

[blackandlight]

[he raises his hands in a gesture of surrender.]

Okay, the first part I won't argue, (in fact, feel free to tell me whenever it starts to work) but typical? Ouch. That hurts.

[savagely]

You deny that your gender is predisposed to useless displays of aggression and presumption?

[ she's not normally this bad, and she's sounding like her mother. oops. ]

[blackandlight]

Aggression hasn't even begun to factor into this yet.

[have a bit of a light show, a quick arc of electricity from one hand to the other. Flashy, but harmless.]

But presumption. Yeah. Sometimes.

[He smiles a little, though it's wry, and throws himself comfortably on a Convenient Couch^tm.]

Okay, okay, most times.

[metalwield]

[ SO DRY ]

Only six?

[blackandlight]

Wouldn't wanna get greedy, you know.

[codenaming]

Six hot chicks? That's oddly specific.

[blackandlight]

[hellooooo nurse.]

Is that you volunteering to be the seventh?

[metalwield]

Or appear modest.

[codenaming]

[well you know with Raven sometimes it's like LIKE ALL OF THE X-MEN!!

too bad you're one of those future-avenger-losers?]

Not today.

[blackandlight]

Why bother? Life's too short for modesty. I'm not gonna pretend to be something I'm not.

[nevermind that's all he does.]

[blackandlight]

Well, there's nothing to say I can't pencil you in for tomorrow.

[LEER]

[codenaming]

Unfortunately I am busy then too.

[...]

Does this actually work with anyone?

[blackandlight]

You'd be surprised. Pleasantly, I'm pretty sure.

[well he's not going to waste time on lost causes so here, have an orange that he totally just. conjured out of somewhere. He tosses it to her in a little underhand motion.]

So who're you?

[codenaming]

[oh well if we're establishing cool powers, by the time she catches it she's already blue aww yeah.]

Mystique.

[ok maybe Charles is right about the codenames...]

Or Raven, whichever.

[blackandlight]

[... WELL THE ORANGE WAS REALLY JUST D_M MAGIC but you're blue.

That's a thing.

Also you're named Mystique.

um.]

... That Mystique?

[codenaming]

[you know what shh she can be blue if she wants ok

also. what.]

"That" Mystique? As opposed to what?

[crotcharrow]

Six? Wow, good luck with the brainwashing.

[metalwield]

[ HI KIDS I don't even have some extremely pleasant menacing ]

No. Not that Mystique, not yet.

[blackandlight]

[........... well you look like that teacher that has a sort of creepy relationship with Finesse--]

... Okay, please tell me that I'm not dealing with crazy time/age bullshit again and that you're actually not Quicksilver.

And yeah. Six. Wouldn't be the first time.

[nailbuff.]

[codenaming]

Planning on letting me in on the big secret here?

[blackandlight]

Oh, this sounds fun. Don't mind me, I'm just gonna-- yep.

[he pulls up a chair. Man, he'd kill for some popcorn right about now.]

[gameboy]

Six? Good luck with that while dressed like an escapee from the ice capades.
