[ There is a naked, brightly glowing blue man standing a short distance away from where his comm device is holding steady in the air. He’s hardly bothered by the fact that he’s naked... nor does he look as if he’s bothered by, well, much of anything. ]

It has become clear to me that, while I am entirely capable of moving my own matter both through time and space, I have been moved into a plane that has hindered this ability. I have found that i’m unable to manipulate my own particles to the extent that I have become accustomed to. It seems that this is not true in all instances, however. [ His tone indicates a shrug might go here, but he doesn’t move an inch. ] I was not able to foresee this event, likely a cause of whatever is altering my intrinsic field.

[ Jon almost sighs, almost looks dejected, but mostly looks nothing too terribly different. ]

While I am aware that this is possible, I have yet to understand exactly how it’s occurring. Once I have, however, I intend to stop it. I have begun research in the science department for this reason only. [ Still as blase as ever. ]

I am curious, however, as to how this plane affects the atoms of others. It can only serve to further advance my own research if I understand how other particles have proven to react in such a place. [ He tips his head slightly, curiously, and then proceeds to wait for his answers. ]

[ wow like there was anyone that didn't see this one coming ]

You're not the only one who's had their abilities tampered with. I think most of us are feeling a little restricted.

[ she's practically chinhandsing right now, man. it's really a good thing he brought up abilities, cause otherwise she'd just have nothing good to say which would be awkward since she'd still try to talk to him. ]

The biggest difference is the control I have over my shapeshifting, which is sort of my main.. ability. It's harder to hold a form that isn't my own for more than a few hours at a time here, while at home I could stay hidden for days.

Humans. Anyone, technically. Anybody I can picture in my mind, yeah.

[ but really that's not as interesting as- ]

You're a teleporter-? And you have foresight. That means you can see the future, right?

That's incredible. Really, wow. I can't even imagine having that kind of power. My brother can read and communicate with minds, but I've never met anyone that could- that had that kind of mental ability. There's actually quite a few of us here. Mm, mutants, I mean.

[ then again, she knows by now that not everyone calls those with abilities 'mutants', so she's quick to correct herself ]

Not that I'm assuming you're a mutant. Unless your abilities are genetic? And your blue form, too. Is it all connected?

[ intriwhatfield? ]

Oh, um. I'd say sorry about the accident, but I'd say it worked out pretty okay.

By mutant I mean.. well, literally mutants. From my world, people with abilities can do what we do because of a genetic mutation. My brother calls it an X-gene. Apparently it's a step forward in human evolution.

Here? There's four of us, from my world. But back home- Charles said there are hundreds of us.

Wow, really? [ her expression drops a little bit ] I thought I was the only one for a long time, too. Before I met Charles. You- I mean, you're sure? They might be hiding. Not all mutants have outward differences like us.

I've met a few people like that. [ snerk ] Though, um. I know a few people here who received their abilities through science instead of genetics. You're definitely not alone in that, here. I mean, I don't think anybody can do the same things as you, but, the way you got the abilities isn't too uncommon here.

I was just a kid. I mean, I don't even remember how old I was exactly, but I was just in grade school. I would go to sleep looking like a normal girl and then wake up.. blue. Like this. The shapeshifting came with practice, it was mostly a defense mechanism, having to hide. I think a lot of mutants end up learning of their abilities around puberty, though.

I was scared of my abilities and my true form for a long time, yeah.

Oh, gosh, no. We're all in hiding, for the most part. It was only very recently that we finally came out as public, and the Navy... tried to bomb the island we were on. It's a long story. But, they fear us. They blame us for the threat of World War III, even though we were the ones that stopped it.

Mhm. It's 1962, where I'm from.
