[ No video this time, because Erik is paranoid as fuck in the aftermath of pretty much everything. And hearing from the smiley face thing Stark pointed out initially does nothing to cure that paranoia. It takes him a while to put together the list, but it's the poem itself, that Erik recognized as familiar. Being from the sixties means he doesn't quite manage off to solve the technology aspect just yet, but he'll get there in due time. ]

Cliched poetry, [ He says, sarcastically as possible. ] like our stay here wasn't any more pleasant than it was initially.

No doubt our friends are hinting at a means of cooperation amongst us. Its implication is not one I'm fond of.

I think it's about time someone else steps up.



[ ooc: ICly shortly before Neal's post because I'm slow. Also filter is open to basically anyone with positive/decent experiences with Erik; if you've talked to him, you're on it. ]

Take me with you.

[ it's not even a request on Erik's part so much as it is him keeping tabs on the entire situation. ]

[tumbleweeds]

we don't need a babysitter.

text;

[swagneto]

I never said I wanted to babysit. I just don’t want to miss out on all the fun.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

don't know when we're going yet. other than 'soon'.

text;

[swagneto]

Helpful. Maybe I'll make my own trip then.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

sorry. [ No she's not. ] have some shit to take care of first

text;

[swagneto]

[ He figured. ] Take care of them then. I need a team I can rely on.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

and you think that could be us, huh?

text;

[swagneto]

I think it can be people I trust. My kind at least.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

'your kind'?

text;

[swagneto]

Mutants. Non-humans.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

and what about people who are only human part of the time?

text;

[swagneto]

Elaborate?

text;

[tumbleweeds]

i can turn into any animal i want.

text;

[swagneto]

I wouldn't consider that all too human in the first place. In my world, you'd be what we call a mutant. Someone with an ability that gives then advantage over everyone else.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

so what is it you can do, then? and are these abilities common, in your world?

text;

[swagneto]

They're common enough. We're no majority by any means but we still exist.

As far as what I can do, I can manipulate metal.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

openly?

sounds useful. try not to break the ship and kill us all.

text;

[swagneto]

We were exposed.

But don't worry, I have no intention of dying in space.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

ouch.

that's good, though, because i'd be pissed.

text;

[swagneto]

You and quite a few others here.

Though I'd quite prefer death to captivity.

text;

[tumbleweeds]

cages have doors. death is pretty much a done deal.
