I know it might be painful to bring up what happened when you were attacked, but from reports, you managed to fight and defend yourselves. Out of curiosity, how?

In my case, not particularly well. Crystal did the majority of the work. The air-shield, a bit tricky to navigate. Seeing the one bloke splash on it was actually a bit pathetic. I'm not quite certain what would have been done had they not had the bloke with the power-wiping on hand.

I did manage a bit of a bounce-back. From reports it put one bloke right out. I rather wish it had been the one who saw me out of consciousness about thirty seconds later with a stick to the face, but I suppose sometimes there's simply not much to be done.

Any particular reason for the question?

Uhhh. Well. They tried to attack us, Crystal put up a sheild and I knocked a guy over, then they took our powers. We tried to run, but then Marius took their powers. Them, um, this guy was going to hurt Marius, I jumped on his back and tried to choke him, got knocked off and hurt my arm. Then the fat guy got a hold of me and jerked the bad arm around and made me stay still.

Stuff gets fuzzy after that.

Why?

If you're using this as an excuse to be emo, I am going to find you and smack you. There were big differences in the two situations.

Yeah, when in doubt. Run like hell.

Point of fact the first move was technically to flee. I feel that is only common sense when large men are making every effort to lay unwashed hands upon you.

As for how we found it in ourselves to fight back, I'm afraid I do not possess deep insight. It seemed a natural sort of thing to do, particularly when my feet were yanked out from under me. Perhaps less a step for me, as I spent the majority of my pre-Xavier's existence chasing down similarly large men across the field of sport and at times fail to recall the difference.

I feel they should start awarding you small prizes for every half-dozen genetic repairs you effect. At present you'd be better than halfway to the colour television.

On my currently fixed income? Yes, it is unlikely. But do not ask how many zeroes my family's holiday donation cheque to Muir contained.

Apologies for the lack of my usual sterling wit, I think I'm perhaps just a bit tired. I had hoped the future trauma would not be a reprise of my own cliche. I suspect I would be taking this with a bit more aplomb did it not make me feel so very last year.

Uh. In order, I think we tried talking them out of it, Run Fu with a side order of Crystal's Air Powers and then kicking and chewing and biting when powers didn't work anymore.

Why?

I'm not sure what's different about it. You got kidnapped, we got kidnapped, you got genetically messed with, we got genetically messed with. I mean, okay, you messed up your own DNA and we just shared ours because of a psycho, but that's like the difference between diarrhea and constapation. They're both shitty.

I dunno. I'm up... sort of and kind of about. If by about, you mean, my stomach was issueing armed protests this morning and so I went and had breakfast because I didn't feel like eating Cheerios.

I swear to God, Jennie's candycane vision is the most fucked up thing I've dealt with ever. And worst, I can't even blow up a toaster. All the headaches, none of the cool parts. What the fuck, I tell you?

Ah, yes. You've been quite the bad mate, for I have been so very available whilst alternately sequestering myself behind various closed doors and posting cryptic requests to be left in introspection. Truth be told I simply haven't felt up to talking, though I suppose I should. I believe that after the last such experience Crystal is expecting I'm due to go mental again.

To be fair, this was a bit different. Regardless of popular opinion I do not consider Europe to be a kidnapping. I do not consider this valid terminology if you preface it with giving both parents and teachers your approximate itinerary. I simply chose not to submit updates. You can hardly be held responsible for a disappearance when the party in question has striven for it. Do not attempt to comandeer the spotlight of my personal idiocy. I am very possessive of the distinction.

Although now that I've room to compare, I think I prefered this scenario when the blame could be placed squarely upon myself.

As previously contagious aspects of my person have proven, I think you've made out ahead.

Never let it be said I do anything by halves.

Be considerate of the music, as some of us are still possessed of vestiges of Kyle's enhanced senses. I get the sense it may be wearing on Jen a bit.

Forge,

I must admit that I am quite puzzled by your question. Why are you asking a question I answered for you over a week ago? What do you mean by saying that you heard about these events 'from reports'? I told you everything that happened already; you heard the details from an actual participant in the fight, not from a person who had heard about it or from a written report.

Forge,

Oh, I see. Why did you not just say that in the first place? That is an entirely different question, and the answer is that I simply acted. I was confronted by people who wished to cause harm to me or to someone who was with me at the time and I did what I thought was best to prevent such harm from occuring.

My first action, as you may recall, was an entirely defensive one. Well, it was an entirely defensive measure until that idiot decided to smash into it, not that he would have known it was there but if he had not attempted to attack us he would not have been harmed by the presence of my air wall. After that, I created the whirlwinds to show them that at least one of their intended targets did indeed possess offensive capabilities as well. Again, the whirlwinds remained as a defensive measure as I did not actually attack anyone with them and anyone who is stupid enough to run into a mass of swirling air moving at a high speed deserves what happens.

When I discovered that I could no longer make use of my abilities, I attempted to run with Jennie and Marius as staying to fight at that point, when there seemed to exist the possibility of leaving and returning to the mansion unscatched, would have been rather pointless other than the act of getting involved in sheer brutality. As this attempt to vacate the premises without needing to enter into a fight failed, and it was clear that these people had no qualms with causing us pain, I did what I felt was necessary to attempt to stop them. Then they were hitting and throwing Jennie and Marius and that was not something that I could allow to happen.

Crystal
