Hm.

I'm sorry, was this attack supposed to scare me? Make me angry? Cause me to seek revenge? Weild knives? Throw breakable things? I must have missed the memo. I was sure that's what I am supposed to be feeling, but now that it comes down to it, I'm going to finish this last chapter and do the sleeping soundly thing in my own bed.

Good job to you. See you in the morning.

Yeah, but you're invulnerable and stuff. Stands to reason that not a lot out there's going to scare you.

Wait a minute, how exactly DOES your power work with a uniform on?

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

I don't think it does, actually. Or at least the uniform doesn't stay on, judging from the times I've seen her husk in civvies.

That, or her power works just fine with clothes but she's a closet nudist. I'm not judging. :)

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

...awesome.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Sure, if you're not the one who has to buy bulletproof leather catsuits in bulk. I always wonder what the guy at the store thinks about those orders.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

You can think about the logistics of it. I'm just going to be all appreciative and think "awesome".

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan. And not like I don't have plenty other nifty power stunts to think "awesome" at. :)

Shoulders war!

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Now you're just making up wars because you're hot. Oh, I see your master plan!

Is this just for the ladies?

[x-empath.livejournal.com]

Or can anyone play?

Oh, hush. The both of you! Boys.

No, my mutation does not work with a uniform. Or clothes in general. It's rather embarassing, all in all. Especially since last night they just told me to skip the uniform part. Boo. And since my husks only last for an hour. It teaches you to keep your internal clock running very, very well.

(Well, not totally invulnerable. But I guess you get part of a building dropped on you, live through it, and think you can do anything. "Bullets you say? Pah! Child's play!")

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

As much as it pains me to say so, I think I could come up with something to let your powers work to their fullest AND maintain your modesty.

And somewhere, part of my brain is kicking the other part very hard in the ass for even suggesting it.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

I was working on something myself as part of a trainee assignment, (before I was distracted by our trying to explain biochemistry and all those wires to each other,) but they said nothing about my getting a little help. And I don't even think I'd mind yours.

Shall we bring the dream team back and compare notes? Or at least, I show you my notes and then you tell me what we're going to actually do, while being very patient and explaining it to me. Whatever.

(I will deny this if asked, or run in the other direction, but I suppose there would be extensive testing involved. Am I horrible human being for waiting for the reactions to that comment from the rest of this place? I know you understand. ...I'm going to the special hell. ;D)

You know, that kinda answers a question of mine. I kept wondering why you bothered with showers in the morning, when you know, you could just husk into clean skin.

You know, one of these days I really have to figure out the limitations of my own mutation. I'm kinda worried about going all out unless I do damage.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Oh! Oh, no, that's different. If I husk old skin to new skin that changes no physical aspects, I actually can keep it as long as I need to. I just like showers, especially after running. And, you know, there's the whole mess factor. :) If I'm in a rush, I just husk.

I'm sure Moira would be more than happy to let you log some stuff. That's what she did with me.

[x-icarus.livejournal.com]

*snorts* You're such a boy.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Must... not... comment... argh!

[x-icarus.livejournal.com]

Being a homo doesn't make me a queen. I am definitely not a queen.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

More of a diva, really.

[x-icarus.livejournal.com]

I'm a regular Aretha Franklin. Except for not.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Fiiiine. Can I pull a Karen and start calling you poodle then? Please? Pleeeeeease? ;D

(Don't ask me why I know about Karen. You'll laugh.)

[x-icarus.livejournal.com]

Who the hell is Karen?

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

I'm going to get wingthwacked for this, aren't I?

[x-icarus.livejournal.com]

No. But maybe tossed out a window.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

But then, your sister's a superhero, so she'd feel all obligated to catch me. And probably have to turn into something to do it, and given what we just established about her powers, are you SURE that's the best way to teach me a lesson?

On second thought... yes, yes it is. I'll get the window.

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but you're invulnerable and stuff. Stands to reason that not a lot out there's going to scare you.


You'd think that, yeah, but really, not so much. Being shot at is still pretty damn alarming, the being invulnerably thing just gives you a boost on the getting over the scared and doing what you know you have to do anyway.
