Hey. There's a lot of old information on this, and that's great. Really. But it's also a l o t for newcomers to try and sift through. There was some talk of a guide, which would be awesome? Even if it's just a basic rundown of world stuff that isn't the wiki-ish pages of the internet that just assume we know crap, it'd be helpful.

Back home, I was on a team called the Young Avengers. We went on a multiverse jumping spree for several months, so this isn't my first rodeo. It is the first place I've been to where we woke up with our abilities locked away and given new ones. Super weird btw, I'm not fond of it. As someone who already went through the whole "traumatic event waking up your mutant powers" thing, I'm not up for round two. But it means I've got some history with jumping around to different places.

I've got a place outside the safe house already, but it's not really a space meant for more than one or MAYBE two people, and we've got three. So if anyone has ideas for an easy job to get into for new arrivals, let me know? Disclaimer: I've never had an actual job before. And I didn't have much of an idea of what to set up an ID with since, I really don't have any experience doing workforce things.

I almost fell asleep just reading that sentence.

[wiccant]

What do you do?

[ofobedience]

Ring fighting and security. Though I'm a little out of commission in terms of the former, at the moment.

[wiccant]

Why's that?

[ofobedience]

Bullet wounds require a considerable recovery time when you're rudely stripped of your healing ability. Who knew.

[wiccant]

Might be good to practice not getting shot.

[ofobedience]

I'm inclined to agree. A little tricky when you're accustomed to going through, rather than around.

[he's learnt a valuable lesson, though?]

[wiccant]

Even if you can heal, you probably shouldn't be just taking bullets.

( teddy heals. doesn't mean anyone likes seeing him beat up. )

Just a thought.

[ofobedience]

I don't see why not.

[No one cares if Giovanni gets beat up.]

@cain.fighter

[blyat]

so i dont have to dig em out of you again, asshole

[Cain cares.]

[ofobedience]

[...this possibility hasn't even occurred to him.]

Well now that I know they won't be coming out of their own accord, you can rest assured I'll take more care.

[blyat]

good
next time im taking you to the damn hospital

[ofobedience]

I'd really rather you didn't. I suppose that just means I really will have to be more careful, doesn't it.

[blyat]

there you go
incentive

[ofobedience]

Or you're just exploiting my weakness.

[He's joking of course, and it's not as though he's afraid of hospitals or anything...it just seems wise to avoid examination when one has certain augmentations.]

[blyat]

sure, that too

[ofobedience]

Oh joy.

[wiccant]

Still hurts, doesn't it?

[ofobedience]

After a while, pain is just another sensation. There's nothing special about it. You learn to make space for it.

[Look. He's in pain all the time, from the collar bolted down into his bones.]

[wiccant]

But it still hurts.
You shouldn't take on more pain if you can avoid it.

[ofobedience]

I'm indifferent to it. But if it makes you feel any better, I do intend to avoid gunshot wounds from now on. The recovery time isn't worth it. And it looks as though my roommate wasn't happy cleaning up the mess.

[wiccant]

My boyfriend back home takes bullets like they're nothing. But they still hurt even if they go right through him.

Don't make me come find and nag you about selfcare later.

[ofobedience]

Selfcare. It sounds like nonsense.

But as I say, I'm not feeling in any hurry to repeat the experience. As it turns out, normal healing is an incredibly tedious process.

[And he's still healing faster than a normal human would. Just slower than he's used to, hence the whining.]

[wiccant]

Selfcare is important.

Not even when it just comes to bullets.

[ofobedience]

Dare I ask what it entails.
