He smirked. "That's not much of a change. I was getting a bit heavy when I got to Lambeth."

by **Ainsley Green** » Sat Jan 18, 2020 4:03 pm

"Well that probably benefited you on the streets. Like a bear for the winter." He joked.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Sat Jan 18, 2020 4:39 pm

"Maybe if I hadn't lost most of it by then," he chuckled weakly. "Funny thing is I'm in better shape but weigh more now than I ever did."

by **Ainsley Green** » Sat Jan 18, 2020 4:41 pm

"Muscle weighs more than fat, ey?" Ainsley took to mimicking a body builder who was so swole his arms couldn't be tucked to his sides, bow-legging his feet across the room.

"The Blokes who walk like this must weigh a literal ton."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Sat Jan 18, 2020 5:10 pm

"And none of it brains," he grinned amusedly. Bed now clear, he set his bag down.

"Room in the closet I assume. 'Cause my clothes are huge."

by **Ainsley Green** » Sat Jan 18, 2020 5:14 pm

"Oh yea, I don't own much.

Pack light and all that. Street tradition."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Sat Jan 18, 2020 7:37 pm

"I don't have much either. X-Corp is trying to get some of my old stuff from my aunt and uncle, but I'm not getting my hopes up. The cheap bastard probably sold most of it. My aunt's okay I guess, she just doesn't have the spine to stand up to him for much of anything."

"Bullies usually don't find strong people to terrorize, unfortunately. Otherwise they'd get what they deserve. "

by **Leo Eskandari** » Sun Jan 19, 2020 1:02 am

"The one time he hit me, he did get what he deserved. I would've just punched him back but my power reacted automatically. Of course, that was why he kicked me out, so... not much of a victory."

by **Ainsley Green** » Sun Jan 19, 2020 4:12 am

"A moral victory, if nothing else." Ainsley offered. "And a lesson to be sure."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Sun Jan 19, 2020 3:08 pm

"Don't be a dick, 'cause ya never know who might have superpowers?"

by **Ainsley Green** » Mon Jan 20, 2020 5:03 am

"I was thinking more 'don't be a wanker if you value your teeth.' " He grinned, then shrugged.

"So what do you like to do for fun mate?"

by **Leo Eskandari** » Mon Jan 20, 2020 3:25 pm

"Play some vidya games, I'm wicked good at Call of Duty, watch the Sox, fiddle with that sculpture junk I mentioned. Always wanted to restore a classic cah too," he answered, Boston accent rising occasionally.

by **Ainsley Green** » Tue Jan 21, 2020 1:21 am

"not so great at sculptures, but I like to draw.

We should get a club going or something. Chill out, art, vibe..."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Tue Jan 21, 2020 3:49 pm

"Sounds cool. Fair warning though, I'm not so good at the whole 'chill out' part. I usually listen to heavy metal while I work."

by **Ainsley Green** » Wed Jan 22, 2020 12:28 am

"That's What headphones are for I suppose." He grins.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Wed Jan 22, 2020 12:51 am

"Oh, definitely," he chuckled.

"And what do you do for fun besides draw?"

by **Ainsley Green** » Wed Jan 22, 2020 12:59 am

"Party-crash on X-Team missions." He joked.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Wed Jan 22, 2020 1:21 am

"If any mission called for you it was that one," he said, "And I still owe ya for helpin' me keep calm in that cell."

by **Ainsley Green** » Wed Jan 22, 2020 1:47 am

"Think nothing of it, happy to help." Ainsley replied. "Not a lot of use for my handiwork, but I help where I can.

You though. You could be a bloody wrecking ball."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Wed Jan 22, 2020 2:15 am

"Me? A hero?" he asked skeptically. He had never even thought about it.

by **Ainsley Green** » Wed Jan 22, 2020 2:29 am

"Yea mate, why not?

You got something better to do?"

by **Leo Eskandari** » Wed Jan 22, 2020 3:49 pm

He was quiet for a long moment. "I dunno... I've never thought of myself hero material. And now I... I might hurt someone. Even if I didn't... heroes don't look like me. I'd just scare anyone I'd try to help," he said, studying his inhuman hands.

by **Ainsley Green** » Thu Jan 23, 2020 12:15 am

"Did you know that weasely, snaggle tooth guy from Pulp Fiction who complains about tipping was a fire-fighter?

He won't be getting into any calendars anytime soon, but that doesn't mean the people who's lives he saved somehow didn't appreciate it. "

by **Leo Eskandari** » Thu Jan 23, 2020 12:32 am

"They wouldn't if I lost control and attacked someone like a wild animal," he said, starting to sound miserable.

by **Ainsley Green** » Thu Jan 23, 2020 12:37 am

"You won't.

You just need to train."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Thu Jan 23, 2020 1:01 am

"How do I train that?"

by **Ainsley Green** » Thu Jan 23, 2020 1:11 am

"Learning control is literally the cornerstone of what they teach here.

The college shite is a veneer mate. Extra curricular at best."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Thu Jan 23, 2020 1:33 am

He looked up and into Ainsley's eyes as if gauging something. "You really think a broken loser from Boston can be a hero?"

by **Ainsley Green** » Thu Jan 23, 2020 1:46 am

"Yes. Absolutely." He replied, without a tinge of dishonesty. He was looking directly at Leo and smiling.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Thu Jan 23, 2020 3:49 pm

Leo had been far too busy thinking of himself as a monster to even consider the good he could use his altered form for. While it gave him some solace, he felt a little like that was accepting his condition. He just wasn't sure.

"I'd like that..." he smiled, "But I don't plan on staying like this any longer than I have to."

by **Ainsley Green** » Thu Jan 23, 2020 9:02 pm

"Of course. I'm sure you can do all sorts of things with your original mutation as well."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Thu Jan 23, 2020 9:12 pm

"Throwing spiny punches or flinging quills is all I could ever do with it. Well, that and making sure nobody ever hit me twice."

by **Ainsley Green** » Fri Jan 24, 2020 5:10 am

"Train to use both. That way when the one is gone, you still have the edge." Ainsley replied, nodding sagely.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Fri Jan 24, 2020 3:29 pm

His self-doubt seemed to be in remission as he nodded. "Right. I can't control this if I don't practice."

"Thanks. Sorry about the pity party."

by **Ainsley Green** » Sat Jan 25, 2020 2:02 am

" I think we're all entitled to that sort of thing now and again. Lord knows I've done it."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Sat Jan 25, 2020 2:29 am

"It's still embarrassin' every time," he grumbled. "You people here are way too easy tuh talk to."

by **Ainsley Green** » Sat Jan 25, 2020 6:22 am

"Not all of us. It is a school after all.

You just got lucky." He jokes.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Sat Jan 25, 2020 3:29 pm

"Yeah, I'm practically one of them Japanese lucky cats," he deadpanned.

by **Ainsley Green** » Sat Jan 25, 2020 4:31 pm

"You could've gotten stuck with the library assistant as a room mate." Ainsley replied, making a strange sidelong sassy expression.
