re: her abaxcity reserve.

[disintegrate]

This isn't what I'd call a smart idea, mun.

[ because muns are known for making smart ideas. clearly. but jean's a trooper. she thinks she can knock some sense into her dear old mundane. ]

You should leave me in the water. I'd rather they remember me for who I was rather than what I become.

[ jean sighs, closing her eyes. her canon point and the way her life unfolds thereafter kind of sucks. ]

No good can come of this.

[odinsons]

As I am sure you are aware, nearly every idea they have is not very smart. [ ... ] But, perhaps, it is best to give it a chance. It may turn out better than expected.

[disintegrate]

And what if it doesn't?

I have family in this city. Some who have lived through a time where I wasn't at my best. I'm afraid that by giving her this chance, only worse things can come of it.

[ she doesn't believe in her mun. :c ]

[odinsons]

[ oh do you really wanna go there about families???? ]

If they are your family, surely they will understand. This may even be an opportunity to make amends, should you desire.

[disintegrate]

[ yep. bring it.

but you have a point, thor. jean didn't think of that; she only worries. ]

Has your mun thrown you into the deep end like this?

[odinsons]

[ consider it brought!!

of course. he makes good points. sometimes............ rarely...... but some...times... ]

In a manner of speaking. I was unaware of certain things before my arrival, but not all was hopelessness and despair.

[disintegrate]

Did your mun throw you into a city of horrors where you wake up in a morgue?

[ wow, jean, calm your farm.

how is none of this horrible? dying by a flood of water in a damn really sucked. but this probably overtakes the suckiness. ]

[odinsons]

[ wow. yeah seriously. go milk the cows or something. sheesh. ]

No, not exactly. A large space vessel where I was stripped of my proper royal armor. I awoke in a strange podlike device surrounded by some sort of substance I know nothing of and a tube placed down my throat. It... was not a pleasant awakening.

[disintegrate]

[ she'll milk your cow x( ]

And she wonders why I don't want to wake up in a morgue.

[ jesus, bro. your mun! ]

But you're okay now?

[odinsons]

[ omg pervert........!!!!!!!! ]

I cannot imagine that to be a pleasant awakening either. [ oh boy. he sort of... doesn't really know how to respond. for all intensive purposes he's okay, but B( ]

On a small scale, you could say that. My powers are diminished and it seems to be a rather hopeless sort of situation. [ ... ] And my brother is there.

[disintegrate]

[ you like it. ]

It sounds like a lot of these places take away what makes us unique.

[ ... ] Your brother? That sounds like a good thing. Having someone you know in a strange place.

[ ... except in her situation because her life sucks okay. ]

[odinsons]

[ i do//// let him show you the secret avengers base, jean. ]

Indeed. A true pity, really. Though having no powers is nothing unusual, but having just a small percentage of what they can be... It is an awful sort of tease.

[ ...how to answer this in a poignant and diplomatic way..... ] We did not part on good terms. [ that'll do. but enough about that. ] But, is that not the same for you? Going to a place where you know someone.

[disintegrate]

[ she'll promise not to tear it to bits with her telekinesis and anger problems.

she'd comment on how having a lack of powers is a tease, yet a blessing, but his question has grabbed her by the heart strings. ]

I think it depends. I died. And then I came back and did a lot of things I am ashamed of that I'll end up doing in the future.

I guess it's a matter of being worried about how my presence there will be received by those who were there.

[odinsons]

[ oh hey. that'd be great thanks. ]

At least you have the conscience to be regretful of decisions you have made. Not everyone does and that can certainly account for something.

[disintegrate]

I wish I had control. My power controls me and it should be the other way around.

I hate feeling so powerless. Even when it comes to being sent somewhere.

[odinsons]

Unfortunately, there is little we can do about where we are sent. But the other things...

Is control not something you can learn?

[disintegrate]

I think it's too late for control. In my future, I destroy the San Francisco bridge.

There's no point to learning how to control it in the city if I won't remember how to when I return.

[odinsons]

But during your stay in this new place, you would have the control you seek. Is that not what your initial worry is about? That does not seem like a lost cause.

[disintegrate]

[ goddamn you thor and your incredibly smart arms. ]

You're really good at talking sense into people. You remind me of someone who builds faith up in people.

[odinsons]

[ that's where his brain is located. ]

That has not always been the case; I am normally the one who needs the sense talked into me. There is still much to be learned. For both of us.

[disintegrate]

[ /swoons. ]

Muns aren't the ones to go to for that, I believe.

You seem alright with yours. I thought the usual way to behave was to be very, very against them.

[odinsons]

[ catches ]

Not usually, no.

She does not always make decisions that place me in favorable conditions, but for the most part I do not have any major complaints.

you are so lame.

[disintegrate]

But you survive all of these conditions?

I was getting the impression that everything was a major complaint, but perhaps my information isn't correct.

YOU LOVE ME

[odinsons]

It takes quite a bit to knock me down.

In the larger picture, there are none. Things could be better but they could also be much, much worse. That is where my no complaints reside.

... I DO LOVE YOUR LAME ASS.

[disintegrate]

So it's not exactly living the dream, but it isn't quite the nightmare, either.

You don't sound like the usual complainer. I bet you must surprise your mun quite a lot.

of course you do 8)

[odinsons]

That seems like a rather apt description, yes.

[ lololoafalkdhfahhahahahhaha ] I seek adventure and this certainly gives the opportunity.

[hellionated]

Hey, don't sweat it Ms Grey.

Half of us already know you go Dark Phoenix, and we still like you better than Cyclops.

[disintegrate]

[ ... alternate universes. instead of being :o jean will just be chill and be amused, instead. ]

And what's wrong with Scott?

[hellionated]

You could say he’s changed. These days he’s channeling Magneto better than Xavier.

[disintegrate]

[ she imagines magneto is just a dick in every universe. but scott! precious scott! ]

That doesn't sound like Scott. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body.

There's no way he could be worse than this Dark Phoenix I become.

[hellionated]

[ Not a mean bone in his body? Seriously?

Oh God. ]

Dark Phoenix tried to burn all of us, but that’s where the dark part comes in.

There’s no force of ultimate evil guiding what Cyclops does. He’d send all of us to fight Sentinels like we’re soliders then turns his back on us the second we fight too hard. There was no darkness involved, nothing that possessed him and nothing that screwed with his head, there was just him. So you tell me which is worse.

[disintegrate]

[ hey, he's a pansy in her world! let's wolverine steal his motorcycle. let's pyro play nsync in his car! ]

That doesn't sound like Scott.

[ nope, not pansy enough. ]

But I'm sorry. For what I do. And for what he does. I don't know what would possess him to do such a thing.

[hellionated]

A hell of a lot of things. But that isn't the point.

You should still show.

[disintegrate]

I'm not sure my mun will let me. She worries about how much she can handle.

Wishing for muns to quit being indecisive is like wishing for mutants and humans to live peacefully together. [ ha. ]
