For future reference...

Team members will please refrain from setting each other on fire during training exercises.

Thank you.

I'm not laughing. Really, I'm not. Nate, Haroun, the next time you do something like that, please take pity on me and hide the tape. Really. Not laughing.

I did not set him on fire.

I made fire and he flew into it. And he asked me to do it!

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

No. Fire.

How did you do that, anyway?

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

I was seeing this... lattice of energy. I pulled on it, it broke. Presto, fire. You learn something new every day.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Fine. Ruin all my future plans. See if I care!

Sorry, Shinobi. Looks like we'll have to move to Plan B.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

...lattice. Right. Perhaps you should be asking Moira's advice before you go... pulling on things again?

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Uh...huh.

I'm very worried now. Just to let you know!

This is my worried face. See me making it at the screen?

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

You're no fun.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

So I've been told.

Seriously, though, Nathan, it might be a good idea to mind the molecular-level manipulation until you know precisely what you're doing.

Maybe you should sit in on some of the science courses?

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

If I close my eyes I can picture it in my head! I'm sure that counts.

(Because, I hate to break it to you, sir, but I'm not currently in the same room you are and I lack telepathic/seeing through walls/etc. abilities)

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Scott's a big party-pooper, isn't he?

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Oh. Ohhhh. Was that a shot at the man with the humanities degrees? Remedial science indeed. Shame on you.

Seriously, though, probably not a bad idea.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

The mental image is probably much more impressive. In person the worried face probably looks vaguely petulant.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Big ol' meanie-head, that man. Luckily, he's also devilishly... talented. Yes.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Well, you know, the molecular structure of the world around us doesn't generally respond to a well-crafted argument. However well-crafted it is...

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

And we can't have that. Wrinkles, Captain. Wrinkles.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

You and I were supposed to be training at some point, weren't we?

If Scott hasn't scared you off by pointing at me and shouting "Pyromaniac! Pyromaaaaaniac!", I mean...

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

I'm suddenly reminded of a prank I helped out with when I was at the University of New Mexico. The engineering freshmen had an order in at a local t-shirt place for shirts with an appropriately witty slogan. We broke into the store and changed it to "Engineering Class of 85 - We let the artsies do the thinking!'

So very satisfying...

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Wrinkles? No, no wrinkles.

Gray hair, though...

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

If anything it's turned me on to the idea.

I mean... er. I'll have to think hard about it, weighing the situation and making sure this is a perfectly safe and normal blahblahblah.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it will be frightfully dashing on you, sir.

Oh, be quiet, you

[x-jetstream.livejournal.com]

There was no permanent damage done. The boot's even salvagable.

When you're me, there's always a very real risk of ignition. I have a fear of fire, for obvious reasons. I am trying to deal with it in as controlled and yet still Real World-like a manner as I possibly can.

Salaam,
Jetstream

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

You know, I bet your molecular structure is an even prettier color than Shinobi's...

Speaking as the guy with a MS in aero...

[x-jetstream.livejournal.com]

Bite. Me.

Haroun

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Why, Mister Dayspring! You sure know how to flatter a girl.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Hey, I didn't invoke the Ancient Rivalry, Scott did. Don't huff at me or next time I will dunk you in the lake.

Overcoming fear is a good thing...

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

But there have to be better and more controlled ways to work with that than to let Calamity Nate take a whack at you.

Hey!

[x-jetstream.livejournal.com]

I was the guy doing a power dive right for the lake, you know. I would have dunked me if you hadn't.

Which reminds me - I never did test to see if my power works underwater. I should really fix that sometime. Anyone want to spot me for that?

Jetstream

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Quite seriously... given the changes it must undergo when you husk, I'm imagining dancing rainbow light or something like that.

Now I'm all curious...

I am willing and eager...

[x-jetstream.livejournal.com]

to entertain any ideas you might have.

Jetstream

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

I resemble that remark.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Oh! Come over now! Nownownow!

I mean. Whenever you get the chance and if I have finished all my homework, I would be equally curious.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

I'll give it some thought.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

I'm dead laughing at that remark.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Want. That. Tape!

*runs off*
