Eat. Time Warp so we eat nice and quick while having a full meal and slowly.

Rising from your bed, you realize you're still in your clothes from last night's excitement. You didn't pack *that* many outfits, but still enough to change out of your dirty clothes before leaving your room.

As you approach the dining hall, the smell of eggs cooking makes your stomach rumble again, and as you step into the room you almost collide with Ricardo, the anger-prone young man who sent the Foosball hurling at terminal velocity (terminal for the Foosball, at least) yesterday afternoon. Either they got away with sneaking out to Westchester or their punishment is yet to manifest. Either way, he gives you a look of annoyance and mutters "Watch it, newbie," as he passes you.

Ms. Braddock and Sam are the only ones in the dining room, both sitting at the large formal table. Ms. Braddock demurely picks at her eggs with a fork while Sam gobbles them down, pausing only to look up at you and give a muffled "Hi!" through a mouthful of egg.

"Good morning, Aino," Dr. MeCoy says from behind you, carrying in a platter of eggs and bacon. "I hope you're hungry, I went a bit overboard with the eggs."

Breakfast conversation, mutie scum?

Your feet suddenly disappear behind an ankle-high hill that sprouts from the hallway carpet!

Also your spine breaks.

Oh, yes. Erm...'Who the hell was that yesterday'?

Oh, and how much of an accident do we have?

(If you want to try out the time warp again and have a quicker breakfast, vote, I guess.)

Guys, our time warp powers only slow down things within a hundred feet or so right now. It doesn't affect the rest of the world.
We're not going to make many friends if we keep forcing people to reset their watches and loses time relative to the rest of the world.

rolled 97 = 97

>>14511035
Talk with Dr. McCoy about the limitations of our power, and since the Danger Room seemed to contain our ability, if there are other chrono-manipulators here at the School.

>>14511107
This isn't suspicious WHATSOEVER.

>>14511134
Please. I doubt that anyone plans on turning this quest into some Highlander movie.

So our time manipulation power made me think of this guy, Ambrose Chase from Planetary. His power is better than ours - it's a 'localized physics distortion field' that can radically change all sorts of things, including time. But otherwise it seems similar.

"Ah, the mysterious caller last night. I heard all about it. Quite the show you put on, young lady," Dr. McCoy smiles as he spears four pieces of bacon with the fork clutched in his huge blue-furred claws and plops them onto his plate along with a half-dozen eggs.

"His name is the X-Cutioner, as he's made known to us before. He fancies himself a vigilante and claims to have a code of honor - he only kills mutants who kill," McCoy says, slicing into an egg. "Or so he claims."

"That's what's so off about this," comes a voice from behind you as Mr. Summers enters, still wearing those strange red sunglasses. "Mornin', Hank. We've tangled with him before, but he had a clear goal in mind, and his stated goal seemed to match his actions. This, though..." Mr. Summers' hands turn outward, showing his own lack of understanding.

"Things would be much clearer if he didn't have the unfortunate habit of teleporting away as soon as he's been subdued," Dr. McCoy says wryly, stuffing another egg into his fanged maw.

rolled 26 = 26

>>14511134
I see what you're saying, but check out the interim thread. There was a pretty big debate about how/whether that would work, and we're curious. Besides, McCoy's enough of a science geek he'd love having someone to talk about it with. Info about last night (who that was/what happened) takes priority, though.

The shriek of laughter from outside the dining room halts the conversation, and a moment later Sam, your first real friend in this place comes flying in (literally), pursued by Clarissa, the blonde machine-mind who snuck out last night with Sam and Ricardo. The two of them stop short inches from Mr. Summers, and both mumble "Sorrymrsummers" embarrassedly before rushing to their seats, still giggling.

"Hey, Aino!" Sam says to you cheerfully. "You were soooo amazing last night! The way you threw that thing!" she says excitedly, before the happiness on her face falls away. "Um, did they tell you about Mr. LeBeau?" she asks.

"He, um-" she trails off, before Dr. McCoy finishes her thought. "Mr. Lebeau is in the intensive care ward. It was a rather nasty thing, I'm afraid."

"Sometimes, Aino," Mr. Summers says at the mention of Professor Xavier, "we are called away on short notice. Our organization tends to be put in the role of crisis remediation where mutant-human relations are concerned."

The conversation dies away, and silence reigns for a moment, before you make a plain-spoken statement about your erstwhile assassin.

Then the entire room erupts in laughter.

A full minute later, Dr. McCoy wipes a tear away from his eye and grins again. "Oh my stars and garters, child, I'm glad SOMEONE finally said it!"

And, did we cause that? If so, be a hell of a lot more worried about it.

>>14511301
>Do we know about the brotherhood?

I don't want to encourage dice-spam, so I'll say this:

You know about the Brotherhood of Mutants because they are on the news at least once a week due to one terrorist attack or another. They are basically to mutants what al-Qaida is to Muslims: the Brotherhood is on TV doing bad things, so all mutants must be doing the same bad things.

The existence of the X-Men is not public knowledge.

"He's still unconscious, I'm afraid," Dr. McCoy continues, "but stabilized, for the time being."

"Hey," Sam says consolingly. "I heard you did great. He might have died if you hadn't been there! We can go see him together after breakfast."

"Ah, your personal expression of the X-Gene," McCoy says, finishing his third plate and leaning back, thinking for a moment. "I read the Danger Room logs this morning during my workout. Very impressive. I have a strong suspicion that you may be an alpha mutant, Aino. I do apologize for the vagueness of the classification, but your power puts you near the top of the heap. I don't think the Professor would be opposed to allowing you to spend time in the Danger Room in the immediate future."

"... we have homework?"

"Mmmm..." McCoy says, pondering. "Difficult to say without direct observation. Perhaps your manipulation of tachyons creates a sort of duality - the superluminal nature of the tachyons combined with their entanglement through your manipulation," he puts his huge hands together, "creates a sort of... friction... that accelerates the object as it leaves the field."

"However, as I've said, it's purely speculative at this point. There is a great deal about us that we do not yet understand."

"I'll talk to the Professor about the Danger Room," Mr. Summers says, "But for now you're on school time, and that means it's time for math class."

"You'll like Mr. Drake," Sam says, grinning at you.

>>14511616

Sam leads you through the maze of halls to a door - with the same type of palmscanner mounted next to it that wards the Danger Room. Sam slaps a palm on it and it beeps, opening the door to reveal the softly lit ICU, and the four beds therein. Only one of them is occupied, by Mr. Lebeau, who lies propped up at a slight angle with tubes running out of him to machines that softly beep and hiss.

"Oh, geez," Sam says softly as she sees him. "If you wanna stay here a minute, they won't be too mad if we're late."

What will you do in this poignant moment, Aino?

I was worried about your wound. I hope that I didn't make it any worse by yanking that blade off. If it did harm you, then know that I am sorry.
I will visit you everyday. Don't worry about that. I even might read you something like news or cajun cook books. Heh.
Well. I guess I better go to class. It will be my first one too. Math, out of all sciences.
I hope you get better soon."

>Captcha: studic grievously

"Yeah, OK," Sam says as you ask for a second to yourself to gather your composure. She waits for you in the hall beyond the ICU, and a moment later the two of you are striding, then racing down the hall!

Sam's feet lift off the ground and she starts to outdistance you!

"Loser makes the winner lunch!" she shouts!

"Hey, what-" Sam begins to say as her flight slows to a crawl. "No faaiiiiii..." her voice stops as she hangs motionless, suspended in the morning sun like an insect in amber, along with the countless motes of dust that freeze in place as well. On the wall next to you the pendulum of the ornate grandfather clock hangs at its zenith.

As you make your leisurely way down the hall, you release the universe around Sam just enough to let her watch you blur past, leaving her to move at a glacial pace until she falls outside your area of control.

Not knowing where to procure pens or paper, you decide that you can always pause for a moment and get some if needed later, and enter the door at the end of the hall.

Inside, the handsome man at the front of the room looks up from his handful of papers. "You must be Aino," he says. "There's an open seat by Ricardo for you," he says, putting you in the second row.

"Thank you for coming, Sam," he says as she finally enters the door, fuming at you. Together with her everyone your age you've met is here: Sam, Ricardo, Clarissa, Mary Ann and Luke, the last two sitting with their desks pushed close together.

"OK, where we left off yesterday we were working with graphing the arc of the adjacent vertices..." Mr. Drake says as he begins. Luckily, supplies are provided.

You sit with one hand propping up your head, more intent on the teacher than the subject material, before you realize that you're dragging the room out of time! The pace of the class quickly hastens, and between the problems in front of you and the problem of your power you hardly have time to concentrate on anything!

Class is over soon enough, and you have twenty minutes before your Ethics class with Professor Xavier, according to the schedule Sam gave you. After that is Life Sciences with Dr. McCoy, lunch, and geography with Ms. Munroe, someone you've yet to meet. And after that is simply a blank box that you've doodled DANGER ROOM into.

As the class files out the door, Sam says "Hey, I've gotta go return some books to the library and dig up my notes from last week. If you wanna go do something I'll catch up. Or whatever."

Gambit is a joke.

>>14512183
Look, let's not descend to the "mai husbando" level okay? Just let it go, not everyone likes gambit.

You meander back to the rec room, finding the Foosball table not only undamaged, but in use, as Ricardo and Clarissa engage in a heated match of (so far) power-less competition. "Hey, new kid," Clarissa says jokingly. "Thanks for keeping quiet about before. HA!" she shouts triumphantly as the ball shoots past Ricardo's kickers and clatters inside the goal.

After a few more minutes of small talk, where it becomes clear that this game is some kind of longstanding rivalry between the two, you excuse yourself to find your ethics class before you're late again. Along the way you pass by an open hall and see Luke and Mary Ann standing together, hand in hand with their backs to you looking out the window silently. As you approach, they both turn inward and around to look at you. "Hi, Aino," they say as one.

After you thank them for the card, lingering a little more than necessary on Luke's arm, you walk away expecting drama, but are met only with vacant stares.

"If you want to date me/him" you can," they call to your retreating back.

Class or sass, mutie?

Anything that strikes me as a way to expand your awareness of the situation you're in is fair game for me. Also, I'm just making this all up as I go along, so if the idea strikes me I've gotta grab it and run, 'cause I don' have much else!

With a raised eyebrow I glance back and retort, "Whatever, I'd watch my man if I were you." As I walk away I exhale making a soft audible "...bitch..."

Okay, if we do ANYTHING, let's not do THAT

That is the worse possible thing to do

>>14512269
Must you be so disruptive?
You are not making any friends, and are acting far too American for someone coming from Finland.

>>14512278
I concur.
We have tons of enemies waiting outside school so there is no need for new ones.

In time for class and now armed with a binder, a notebook, two pencils and a pen, you find yourself in a well-appointed drawing room, complete with overstuffed chairs, a fireplace (that lit as it is brings a cheery warmth to an otherwise dreary April day).

Professor Xavier sits in his ever-present golden chair that encases his legs and hovers inches off the ground. Clarissa is already there, curled up with her legs under her in one of the opulent chairs. Behind you come the shouts and calls of the other students.

"Hello again, Aino," the Professor says, "and welcome to my class. Won't you have a seat?"

Discussion topics?

Look back in confusion. "Wait, you're not dating? Oh! Er...maybe? Yes? Wait, er..." And run off, acting confused.

Also, how was our homelife back in Finland?

>>14512293
>>14512278

All the more entertaining. Also; this is actually how 15 yr old girls behave even with my sweet finnish accent.

>>14512309
How about 'Why don't we help society by using our mutant abilities in fields of science, construction or humanitarian aid instead of fighting mutant villains all the time?'

Also think dirty thoughts constantly.

>>14512309
Topic of discussion: Usage of our powers and society. If we are feared for our powers, should we not use them at all? Or should we use them for the betterment of all, regardless of whether the beneficiary wishes it or not.

>>14512333

Actually, it's not entertaining. I find it annoying.
Some 15 year old girls may act that way, perhaps even most. But that doesn't mean that Aino has to be like that.

>>14512309
Woo lets ask how one draws the line between justified use of power over another and unjustified use. For example, frame it in the context of the Prof's powers. Surely it's OK to mind-control/read a murderer trying to hurt/kill people, and we all know you shouldn't do that to innocent people, but what about the in between? Unarmed robbery? Psychological problems? Domestic issues, ect...

>>14512309

How we can crush our enemies.

>>14512340
That just describes the situation as it is. How does that invalidate my ethical question?

>>14512348
Or if that's dumb, ask a question suitable to the first day of class, such as "Doesn't everyone know ethics already?" Or, be an appropriate teenager and nervously/awkwardly wait for someone else to answer/ask a question!
(same person)

>>14512356
And see them driven before us?

>>14512371

And hear the lamentation of their women.

>>14512309
Oh! Erm...sit next to our friend and, as teacher is not sexyfine, ponder trajectories as we take notes. And pass notes. Like 'Aren't Luke and Mary Ann dating'?

>>14512348
>>14512356
I'm sure this will come in handy eventually

>>14512309
So, why and how do we get these crazy powers, professor?

>>14512101
we are finnish, that would be par for the course. duct tape and hunting knife tiem!!!

>>14512381
It seems there is honor in you after all.
And I am not even talking about your OTHER honor.

Ask why the fuck everyone treats mutants as a different species, rather than humans with one outlying gene.

>>14512413
because hatred, bigotry, and prejudice are extremely fun?

What's the difference between a mutant and, say, the fantastic four?

>>14512426
No. The reason is simple. So simple in fact that it boils down to a single word.

Fear.

Perhaps not unexpectedly, the open forum leads to the topic of mutancy, and given the sudden, jarring transition between the cloistered world you lived in before yesterday, when not even your best friends knew you were a mutant, and the present, sitting here in a quiet room of sympathetic souls, all of whom share your strange twisted gift... the torrent of questions, confused and bottled up for years, pour forth, swelling to heated debates and crashing into discord that the Professor nevertheless smoothly averted back into productive discussion.

"You asked about mind control," he says in his sonorous voice, "and let me reassure you - your thoughts are your own. I would never pry into them unbidden, never for anything less than to save your life."

"Such effrontery, to ever assume that one knows what is best for someone else, leads down a path that I believe we must all avoid."

Claremont! I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Confusing plot please you, Claremont... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!

>>14512437
But... But I didn't ask that question out loud...
OH SHI-

>>14512432
>What's the difference between a mutant and, say, the fantastic four?

Are you asking this in-game or to the board?

Because OOC the Fantastic Four are technically mutates, not mutants, according to marvel.

>>14512444

Wasn't Claremont the writer that Liefield killed? Careerwise I mean.

But yeah, as much as I enjoy philosophical pondering, how about we move to next class?
I wanna do SCIENCE!

Anything else you want to ask the Prof, or shall we move on?

>>14512437
"But shouldn't we work to keep people from making bad choices? Or is their self-determination more important than the harm that they could inflict upon themselves?"

>>14512481
Let's go on to the sciences!

>>14512454

>>14512514

Yeah...I'm gonna say we start thinking about guns and how cute Bobby is. See if there's anyone free after we fool around in the Danger Box.

>>14512537
Why would a 15 year old girl think of guns?

>>14512512
You are going to get our Danger Room privileges revoked.

>>14512549
We're Finish and we love guns. Sweet sweet bullets.

"I asked about that last year," Sam says as the two of you walk to the lab wing. "The Professor made me write a paper on it," she groans. "But basically, they showed up before the mutant scare, and they always had the government on their side. I mean, did you know that they *stole* that rocket? And now they're national heroes!"

"You wanna know something?" Sam asks as she leans in and whispers it. "Clarissa has a poster of Johnny Storm in her room!"

As you walk Luke and Mary Ann fall in next to you, favoring you both with smiles and their eerie echo of "Hi, Sam, Hi, Aino."

Clarissa and Ricardo drift in behind you, Clarissa with a bag of chips. "Clarissa, dear," Dr. McCoy says, lifting the plastic one-piece goggles up away from his eyes. "I've asked you not to bring those in here. You shouldn't handle food in a lab, even a clean one*."

[Editor's note: It's true, kids! Ask your science teacher or those super-clowns at Defective Comics!

"That's... quite impressive, Aino." Dr. McCoy says, still pondering the nuance and profundity of your ... let's face it *eloquent* dissection of his theories of time, aided only in party by your masterful control of the tachyons around the lab's seemingly inexhaustible array of equipment.

"Er, well, that's about all I had planned for today, I suppose." He looks up sheepishly. "Class dismissed?"

"Have a good weekend," he adds as you file out. "Remember, test next Thursday, field trip to Antarctica next Friday!"

"Come on, you," Sam says pulling you out. "I'm gonna make you the best BLT ever."

What to do over the lunch hour, mutie scum?

>BLT

I'm... not aware what "BLT" means

...the riddle of steel

Before we grab a bite with sam I ask Dr. McCoy if he has a minute and inquire if he's spoke with the Prof. about me getting some Danger Room time so I can practice my ability to CRUSH my enemies.

>Lose ourselves in a passionate looks and mutual hugs that remain under the CCA.

Also, find out what a BLT is...and if it is the Riddle of Steel, and make something tasty and Finish for our friend. If we can

>>14512721
Oh, okay, that makes sense.

>>14512756
MY GOD! WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE BROTHERHOOD OF EVIL MUTANTS ARE NOT UP TO NO GOOD!

>>14512752
I was assuming Aino doesn't know what a BLT is, being not from the US and such.

Dr. McCoy favors to sit with you and eat, but even with Sam's diligence in preparing the (admittedly pretty delicious) "bacon, lettuce and tomato" sandwich, you still have a half-hour before geography class, and then the Danger Room!

"Yes, don't worry, I've spoken with the Professor and we both agree that you'll benefit from practicing to control your powers under protected conditions. For now you'll be spending three days a week there during your last hour. I've spoken to Mr. Logan about you not being in his class on those days," he says grinning as he nods across the room to where the squat hairy man from the previous night sits drinking a cup of coffee.

"Awww, but Mr. Logan is reading The Art of War in his literature class!"

Recoil in horror from the smelling man-ape before indulging in this 'BLT'.

And, seriously, find out about our peer groups. Who's off limits, who's not liked, that kinda shit.

"Physical fitness," Sam says after Dr. McCoy leaves. And I heard," she starts, before glancing at him and whispering. "I heard that he also has this special survival course where he takes a group out in the wilderness for like a week."

The two of you glance at Mr. Logan across the room, but he doesn't seem to notice, continuing to read the newspaper.

"OK, Clarissa and Ricardo used to date, but now they're broken up. I kissed him once but I didn't like it at all, and I don't think he really likes me anyway. I don't know how Clarissa puts up with him anyway. I think she's just so mellow that she doesn't even notice or something."

"OK, Mary Ann and Luke, weird, right? It's like they've got this thing where they always have to be near each other. The Professor says together they make a 'gestalt', you know, sum is greater than the parts kind of thing. And so they're always together, but you never know when they're gonna get all weird and spacey. Or one time, last November," Sam pauses from her monologue to look around, verifying that they're alone.

"Last November they had this total freak-out where Mary Ann got really hurt. There was this thing that was going on with the Professor and Ms. Grey, oh, man, that was weird."

The hallway is cold on the far side of the Mansion that faces the lake and the blustery April rain that spatters against its windows. The two of you walk through the gray gloomy hall with nary another person in sight, and Sam tells you what happened five months earlier.

"So then *I* woke up, 'cause Clarissa had heard something, and she woke me up and we went downstairs, and there was this weird light everywhere, and Mary Ann and Luke were both screaming, and the Professor and Ms. Grey were standing on either side of them and really, like concentrating hard, and I could hear all their voices in my head. Clarissa said she could too. And there was this other thing, like, this thing that made me feel really scared, that was also there with us all. Then Mr. Logan grabbed us and took us away from the mansion. Dr. McCoy was already outside with Ricardo and Megan."

"After they let us back in there was glass everywhere and Mary Ann was in the same room Mr. LeBeau's in."

>>14513365
>>14512514
poor us. even dracula caught jungle fever over storm.

>>14513405
"Oh dear... You were never told what it was about?"

>>14513405
Geeze! That sounds dangerous! Are they ok now?

"They didn't want to tell us what had happened at first, but then the Professor said we had to know in case it happened again."

"He said it was a psychic presence that had been attracted to them, and that they had only gotten rid of it and not destroyed it. I don't think they think they even *could* destroy it, from the way he said it."

The two of you arrive at the door to Ms. Munroe's room... only to find a note pinned to the door, written in a flowing script:

---------------------------------------

Class cancelled today

-O. Munroe

---------------------------------------

"Huh." Sam states in her eloquent way.

Wat nooooowwwww?

>>14513521
I ask nearest teacher for reason about Ororo cancelling her lesson.
After that I most likely move towards Danger Room.

>>14513521
Hey, this gives you a chance to go see Mr. LeBeau. Get on that. He's probably be cheered to see you, if he's awake.

If he's not awake and receiving visitors, then go exploring. Meet new and exciting other students; you've only met like six other people, and that's not enough.

>>14513521
So, anything you wanna do, Sam? If not, Wanna hit up the Danger Room?

Have we asked Sam what her powers are? If we haven't, we should.

>>14513570
This is good idea, too.

>>14513570
Visiting Remy (again) may be a viable option.
But instead of exploring, I think it would be better if we map our powers in DR as soon as possible.

rolled 64 = 64

I'd like to check out the rest of the Academy. Maybe find a faculty member who talks to much and engage them in conversation.

>>14513581
She can levitate. Whoopdy fucking doo.
I doubt that she is allowed into DR.

>>14513593
We have a scheduled appointment in the Danger Room already. Let's use that for power mapping. It's unlikely that we'll have significant cause to do serious power stressing between now and then.

>>14513620
Can she do -more- then levitate, I mean.I mean, she could have gravity control, or something.

>>14513642
I highly doubt that she has other powers.

On the way back down from the aerie where Ms. Munroe holds her class the two of you pass by an wide, open arch, beyond which Ms. Braddock sits meditating. She opens her eyes as if sensing you looking at her, and answers your hesitant question in the evasive manner you've noticed before. "She was not feeling well," Ms. Braddock says. "I assume she will return by Monday."

After that, Sam breaks off from you. "You go on ahead, I've got some stuff I need to do. I'll meet you in the Danger Room."

Now alone, one thought springs to mind, so you retrace your steps and find without too much trouble the door to the ICU. The door is closed, and the palmscanner next to it softly glows.

Wat do?

>>14513665
I think they're trying to say that the levitation is a result of manipulating a greater power.
As in, using (for example) Gravity Manipulation to allow them the ability to levitate.

>>14513686
Hand on scanner. Obviously.

>>14513686
I guess it would lighten up Remy's mood if he is awake.
If he is not then... He is not awake.

>>14513686
Walk in. HENSHIN A GO-GO BABY!

You place your hand on the scanner... and nothing.

Disappointed, you turn and find Ms. Braddock only a few paces from you. "Here, let me," she says, tapping something in on the scanner and taking your hand to press it onto the glowing outline. "Now you've got the same level of access as the other students," she says, walking away just as quickly as she appeared. "I expect you to be on time for my martial arts class on Monday, miss Aino."

This time, the palmscanner beeps, and the door opens without pause. Inside, the form on the bed lies as still as it was this morning, Mr. LeBeau's chest rising and falling in sync with the hissing machine on the table next to him. For a moment you linger there, then, as you turn to leave you hear something:

" 'eh, chere, wha' you doin' here?"

>>14513858
"N-Nothing! I. I just came in to see if you are allright. You took a pretty bad cut back there and I was worried and *mumble mumble*"
"But anyhow, how are you feeling now? Has there been alot of visitors?"

(What did Braddock mean that "now we have the same level of clearence as other students". Was it downgraded at some point?)

>What did Braddock mean that "now we have the same level of clearence as other students". Was it downgraded at some point?

You were never officially "signed in" to the system before now.

>>14513858
"I, uh. Was kind of worried about you. I didn't really get to see what was happening after I passed out, and you were bleeding... I thought I should come by to see you."

>>14513940
So now we are *gasp* A PART OF THE SYSTEM!

" I' still here, chere, an' somethin' tells me you got somethin' to do with dat, no?"

He takes your puzzled look in stride and grins. "Miz Braddock came by an hour ago an' tol' me, chere."

He coughs a little and you excuse yourself, spirits raised that he's back in the land of the living.

Said spirits rise higher as you approach the Danger Room and see Ms. Grey standing outside it with something in her hands... something folded and yellow and black. "Here, Aino," she says, handing it to you. "There's a bathroom right over there."

Confused, you unfold the gift, and after a moment you realize what it is. While you had eaten with them, and laughed with them, and gotten the same computer access as them, only now do you feel that you are on equal terms with the other students. That you belong.

In the bathroom mirror you look at yourself over and over.

Not bad.

And with that, you enter the bright dazzling light of the Danger Room.


Next Issue: Weekend Warriors!

>>14514078
"Yes."

I take one final look (after about a dozen other "final looks") and then I step out of changing room.
I'll go and ask Gray what kind of training exercises would be available and if there were any recomendations.

And so ends our episode in X-Men: Newcomer.

When will the next one air and is this episode recorded allready?

Assuming I don't get called into work tomorrow, it should start about 13:00 board time. If I do have to work, it won't be until at least Monday.

Too bad we couldn't roll the power science today, because this state is perfect for theorizing shit.
