Got a favor to ask before my pizza gets here.

I'm not totally sure I can even ask this, but ... okay, basically the whole stupid in Kosovo is because partially, Yvette's having problems with being pissed off and when she got mad, she went off all stupid without thinking. So now she thinks she can't ever BE angry.

Which you know, right now is probably totally true.

But it's also not like, healthy. I mean, god knows how many times Doc Samson's told me that its' not being angry that's the problem it's how you deal with it.

Right now she's going off to hide in the woods and destroy trees and make firewood. But okay, one, if she deforests the woods that would suck, and two, going off isn't helping her, it's just making it worse cause she thinks she either can't be around people or has to have, like, Buddha levels of not-ever-get-angry. And someday she's gonna HAVE to be around people and someday someone is gonna piss her off and right now she's got not a lot of options. The woods outdoors part is probably not so bad, but the alone part isn't working.

So what I was thinking was seeing if she can use the Danger Room sometimes? I know Angel does for her powers, and I think Nori does for her powers and we could make the DR Yvette-proof probably, and she'd have to be supervised, but hell, if someone has to and nobody else wants to I'll do it. I get the anger thing and I'm not gonna break too much if she does poke me full of holes.

I think she needs somewhere she can not have to worry, and can take off the gloves and sock things and yeah, maybe break some stuff. Not sure on the break stuff bit. Even if all she does is go down there and get a good yell on and do some stomping around, it's better then nothing, right?

Also yeah, I know, I was a total hypocrite, and need to take my own advice.

Probably a good idea. If she keeps on repressing things like that, she's going to end up like Marius (Hi, Honey!).

So, I'm with the volunteering for supervising since I totally know how to turn it off, these days.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Turn off... the Danger Room? Or the ... ... what?

[x-m.livejournal.com]

the ...what. I know how to turn it off, if whoops, this could actually hurt someone in a way that isn't supposed to happen for a training exercise way.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. Makes sense now. I was so confused for a minute there, I thought maybe you meant the death hair or something.

[x-m.livejournal.com]

Hey, don't knock the hair! The hair is your lord God and Master.

But, no. I think it would be good for her.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

No issue with you volunteering, but come see me before you set things up with her. I may have some ideas.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Might as well make that both of us, since I told her I'd keep an eye on her too.

Also, M, the hair terrifies me. Srsly.

[x-m.livejournal.com]

That? Is because you are a very young boy. When you're all grown up, you'll understand why my hair is awesome.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it's awesome. Godzilla is also awesome.

[x-m.livejournal.com]

...hey, do you think we could do Godzilla in the danger room? That would be cool.

Not for Yvette, though.

I'll run it by Yvette first and see what she thinks about the idea of working with me. But if she's interested, I'll come and have a chat to you, since I'm not sure where I'd even start with her. It's not a case of don't smash things or please try to remember that your teammates can be broken more easily than you.

Still, at least other than Cain, I'm probably one of the hardest people here for her to accidentally injure. That has to count for something, right?

Yvette is the little red girl, right?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, with the pokey sharp hands and feet and hair. She's got some powers issues that, I think it totally has to do with her mood because she's less pokey when she's happy. So dealing with being angry is kind of powers training for her, I guess.

[x-sway.livejournal.com]

I apologize if this is a somewhat obvious question, but if she has the ability to become less pokey based on her mood, shouldn't that already have included in her training regimen?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

I think it's part of her powers training stuff because she's kind of able to settle herself down kinda, but she's having problems with that, so this is, like a middle solution until she gets her powers issue dealt with?

[x-sway.livejournal.com]

Where I'm getting a bit hung up is that given the nature of her powers, I'm surprised that she didn't have danger room training already incorporated in her powers training. I think it would be an excellent opportunity for her. Given the nature of the holographic systems, it would be a safe place for her to run through a number of scenarios without worry of harming anything.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

She said she'd never been this angry before - and I'm guessing she probably hasn't told anyone that she was feeling frustrated, and didn't think she could ask. (That's Yvette for you. Polite-ing herself right out of getting help when she needs it.)

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Incorporating Danger Room training into powers training for the kids at all has been a relatively recent development - the holographic systems are comparatively new.
