Hey 'Mara, saw you were back in the States from the journals. How're things in Nova Roma? Need any help?
I just got back from a job in England, and while I was there, I did a bit more poking around. I've got a... well "reason" lets him off the hook, so we'll go with "explanation" for your dad being a twat. Seems he's gotten into politics since leave the diplomatic service, and he's involved in some anti-mutant groups. Nothing as heavy as the FOH, more along the lines of registration and segregation than flat out extermination or depowering. "Keeping our kids safe" sort of bollocks.
It probably won't help much, but yeah, I'd guess that's why the sudden turnaround. Man makes a point of getting up and talking about how mutants need to be kept among their own sort - doesn't look good if his own daughter is one, does it?
Any way, if you want to talk or whatever, you've got my number and I'm back in New York for the foreseeable.

I missed your birthday on account of being in England - let me know when's a good time to nab you for a late birthday piss-up.

Hey grasshopper, enjoy your summer break? I'm back and that means study time again - come by my apartment when it works for you and we'll get back into it.

Hey there,
You don't know me, but I used to be one of the students at Xavier's and now I'm working in New York. I saw you talking about body art and piercings and the like - if you're curious, I know a bloke who works well with mutants and I can probably talk to you about piercing and why you get it and the rest, seeing how at one point I had the GNP of a small African nation's worth of metal in my face. ;)
Also, Kyle forgot to mention, tongue piercings aren't just fun for guys. They work well on girls too. Just saying.

Still, I'm all up for a trip to the city, and if you got some pictures of your pierced face, that's hot...

Oh yay. But fear not, I kept doing magic even on summer, so I know I'm not rusty.
Any day you prefer?

Date: 2010-09-09 08:20 pm (UTC)Unfortunately, I'm not as pierced as I used to be - my job means I have to look respectable sometimes - but I'm happy to show and tell what I do have. You know a place called Silver's at all? It's a mutant-friendly nightclub in New York. Most of the mansion folks know it, if you wanted to meet up sometime.

Practice, huh? Well, New York wasn't eaten by Elder Gods over the summer, so at least you kept to sensible limits.
How about Friday? You can crash at my place and I'll drive you back in the morning. Unless you've got a hot date or something?

You know I was tempted, but I can behave. Sometimes. The Staff of One is grumpy, though.
I would love to crash at your place :D And I like my hot dates scheduled...unless they are hot, unexpected dates. Then we might have a problem.

Date: 2010-09-09 09:24 pm (UTC)Heard of Silver's but never been there, but I'm all about going more mainstream. The bouncer came over at my office (aka Harry's) once, he said my place looks like a shit hole. So feel free to take me out anytime.

Date: 2010-09-09 09:42 pm (UTC)Harry's is all right for what it is - a pub. Silver's is a nightclub, so there's a world of difference. I have a student on Friday night, so that's out, how about Saturday? I can meet you there.

Date: 2010-09-09 10:31 pm (UTC)Thanks you for the information about my birth father. That certainly does help to explain his reaction, though I'm not sure it makes it any easier to understand. I suppose I would not have done much to change his opinion of mutants, with everything that happened.
I think I would like to talk, if you have the time. It has been a long while since we've had a chance to catch up.
