I2DT: "Yes. One of those would be just the thing."

"Yes indeed. Brian and Betsy Braddock, better known as Captain Britain and Psylocke, the second of which was like us so the family has a vested interest in the mutant condition."

"That's kind of cool, actually. I mean... letting people like us use a place like this."

by **Basil Benson** » Fri Nov 06, 2015 12:54 pm

"Indeed, but it makes me wonder where did they go?

Doubt they're destitute or anything considering the family afforded this mansion in the first place, but it's an interesting thing to think about."

by **Amy Myers** » Fri Nov 06, 2015 8:28 pm

"Huh... Maybe they just moved. Right? I mean..."

by **Basil Benson** » Fri Nov 06, 2015 9:08 pm

"Probably." It occured to him Amy might not think much of his 'What If' game, so he dropped it.

"Do you know who your room mate is yet?"

by **Amy Myers** » Sat Nov 07, 2015 12:54 am

"I'm not sure. They gave me a starter package with my keys and everything but it just reads 'Onyx' where it says roommate."

by **Basil Benson** » Sat Nov 07, 2015 1:01 am

"I don't think I know what one. I only know a few of the students, mostly female.

Name sounds interesting though. One name, like Sting."

by **Amy Myers** » Sat Nov 07, 2015 1:07 am

"Oh! Yeah, I forgot that the forms had a space where you had to put, like, a nickname. I bet that's what it is." she says. Apparently Amy hadn't realized that the mutant-name line on the school's forms was optional.

by **Basil Benson** » Sat Nov 07, 2015 1:10 am

Neither did Basil actually. He almost put his secondary school nickname 'Bob', and was quite glad he had been informed that's not what that meant.

"Ah ha! I bet you're right. She probably has an embarrassing first name and doesn't want anyone to know it."

by **Amy Myers** » Sat Nov 07, 2015 2:18 am

"That's actually kinda neat, if you think about it. As long as no one just doodles in a symbol." she chuckles.

by **Basil Benson** » Sat Nov 07, 2015 2:35 am

"You mean you'll never forgive me if I change my name to an ampersand?"

by **Amy Myers** » Sat Nov 07, 2015 2:37 am

"The librarian formerly known as Basil."

by **Basil Benson** » Sat Nov 07, 2015 2:40 am

"Please tell me this allows one to dress in platform shoes and a lot of crushed velvet as well.'

by **Amy Myers** » Sun Nov 08, 2015 7:39 pm

"I'm not sure anything excuses that." she chuckles.

by **Basil Benson** » Sun Nov 08, 2015 10:01 pm

"Whaaaat iffff I sing vaguely and also overtly sexual songs while doing it?" Clearly he was joking by his jesting tone but who knows what could happen if she said yes.

by **Amy Myers** » Sun Nov 08, 2015 10:13 pm

"I think that might make it worse." she laughs.

by **Basil Benson** » Sun Nov 08, 2015 10:25 pm

"Well it's official then. The spirit of the 80s is dead if even the Purple One is no longer spared our ridicule."

by **Amy Myers** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 12:04 am

"I think the 80s might have been dead before I was born."

by **Basil Benson** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 12:50 am

"What nooo Aaammmmyyyyyy...." He sounded like he was whining. " Back to the Future? Depeche Mode? Fishnets? Whhhhyyyyy....."

by **Amy Myers** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 1:38 am

"If I had to pick one then fishnets. Fishnets are why the 80s are dead." she teases.

by **Basil Benson** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 1:44 am

"Noooooooooo that is like the beeessstt onnneeeeee thooooooo. "

by **Amy Myers** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 1:48 am

"For guys maybe." she rolls her eyes a little.

by **Basil Benson** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 1:51 am

"Oh? I don't think I could pull it off as well as Tim Curry does but I'd be willing to give it a go." He says, as if he had no idea what it was she was talking about.

by **Amy Myers** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 1:57 am

Amy was mostly just joking and teasing, but still looks a little surprised by that. "Oh. Well, maybe I'll make you back that up some time."

by **Basil Benson** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 1:59 am

Basil chuckled, indicating he was teasing her back.

"Well until this happened I was going the route of a theater kid. I've worn worse."

by **Amy Myers** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 2:13 am

"You could still do theater..."

by **Basil Benson** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 2:17 am

"Regular folk don't like me being around." He admitted in a small voice.

by **Amy Myers** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 2:54 am

"Well... maybe there's people here who would?"

by **Basil Benson** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 2:55 am

"Some of them seem to." He admitted, shrugging. "But admittedly most of them seem to have unusual problems of their own." He laughed.

by **Amy Myers** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 3:18 am

"Well, yeah. That's why we're here, right?"

by **Basil Benson** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 3:20 am

"I suppose. I think some of these conditions can't be fixed though." He answered honestly.

by **Amy Myers** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 5:18 am

"Maybe not fix but, like... deal with it, yeah? Like diabetes."

by **Basil Benson** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 12:49 pm

"I think the classes of that nature will be just what the doctor ordered... For people who have power based mutations. But I'm not sure there's a class about not having a literal third eye or non retractable claws."

by **Amy Myers** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 4:54 pm

"Hmm. I guess that makes sense. But still, there's like... stuff you can do to cope, I bet. Like, I dunno, claw-friendly scissors and can-openers?"

by **Basil Benson** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 6:47 pm

"Maybe. They did have the contact suit for my needs I suppose, but I doubt I am the first invisible person they have met, even If mine is permanent."

by **Amy Myers** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 8:37 pm

"Exactly. They know how to help because they know how to deal with these kinds of things." she says, sounding somewhat hopeful and optimistic.

by **Basil Benson** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 9:09 pm

Basil thought about it for a moment, then asked. "So what are you in for? Seems topic appropriate."

by **Amy Myers** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 10:11 pm

"Wrecking a classroom. Like, entirely."

by **Basil Benson** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 11:17 pm

" was anyone injured?" Basil asked.

by **Amy Myers** » Mon Nov 09, 2015 11:54 pm

"No one, thank god, but they could have been. Everyone just thought I brought a gun and hit the floor..." she admits, not even making eye-contact with Basil's glasses. Telling this to an invisible person was somehow easier. Like she could pretend there wasn't actually somebody there, listening.
