Tereza's new appearance had ended up costing her her position at the Rose & Crown, mostly by mutual agreement that the trouble her unsettling appearance might cause was not worth it for either the pub or her. So she'd switched to working in the pub at the XUB. The experience translated pretty well and she was watching bar during one of the off periods.

"I feel there's an ice pun here, but I'm too lazy to find it," Shane smirked as he sat at the bar.

Posted: **Fri Apr 01, 2016 4:18 pm**

"Looking for a chilled drink are we?" Tereza said good-naturedly.

Posted: **Fri Apr 01, 2016 7:18 pm**

"No, I meant the..." he said, fingering his hair and ending up with some in his hands.

"Eugh..." he cringed, flinging it away.

"Power expression or early onset male pattern baldness?" She picked up a glass and began polishing it.

Posted: **Fri Apr 01, 2016 7:39 pm**

"Likely the former," he sighed, "Honestly I'm not entirely sure which I'd prefer."

Posted: **Fri Apr 01, 2016 7:42 pm**

"I think I'd go with the baldness," Tereza said, drawing a beer into the glass and setting it in front of him.

Posted: **Fri Apr 01, 2016 7:47 pm**

"I suppose going bald beats turning green and Lord knows what else," he admitted. He eyed the beer, smirking, "You a mind reader too?"

Posted: **Fri Apr 01, 2016 7:50 pm**

"Aspiring bartender. It's the next best thing," she said. "And yeah, I'm right there with you on the power-related appearance changes."

Posted: **Fri Apr 01, 2016 8:48 pm**

"As if only feeling like an outsider all my bloody life wasn't enough," he grumbled.

Posted: **Fri Apr 01, 2016 10:30 pm**

"So what are you gonna do?" She grinned, "Aside from drink, of course."

Posted: **Fri Apr 01, 2016 11:59 pm**

"Maybe I ought to just go all in and let my freak flag fly already. That'll show the universe."

Posted: **Sat Apr 02, 2016 12:06 am**

"Beats riding the line, I suppose. I'm still getting used to it myself."

Posted: **Sat Apr 02, 2016 12:37 am**

"Eh. I'm really just glad I can still cover it up with minimal effort. Judging by my bloody hair falling out that's not going to last much longer."

Posted: **Sat Apr 02, 2016 12:52 am**

"For those of us it comes for, it comes for with a vengeance I guess."

Posted: **Sat Apr 02, 2016 12:57 am**

"You have no idea," he said with a bitter chuckle.

Posted: **Sat Apr 02, 2016 1:37 am**

"Anything else I can get you besides a beer and a sympathetic ear?"

Posted: **Sat Apr 02, 2016 1:52 am**

"Something to eat I think. I need the protein," he said, "A burger maybe? The Wolverine Burger I guess. That sounds... ridiculously meaty."

Posted: **Sat Apr 02, 2016 1:56 am**

She put his order into the system and then started taking stock of stuff behind the bar. "So other than the hair loss, things going okay?"

Posted: **Sat Apr 02, 2016 2:30 pm**

"Well my punching Nazis buzz is wearing off, only to be replaced by a sense of worthlessness because nothing I can do can help the missing. Other than that I'm good."

Posted: **Sun Apr 03, 2016 5:52 pm**

"Yeah, I'm with you there. Ice I know. Dimensional and temporal mechanics are not really my strong suit. Classes going okay?"

Posted: **Sun Apr 03, 2016 8:08 pm**

"Well enough. Yours?"

Posted: **Mon Apr 04, 2016 12:51 am**

"I think I'll be able to salvage some of my grades if I can stay out of the med center."

Posted: **Mon Apr 04, 2016 1:14 am**

"Get hurt often playing superhero?"

Posted: **Mon Apr 04, 2016 1:18 am**

"Yeah. Comes with the territory."

Posted: **Mon Apr 04, 2016 1:38 am**

"I'd be more open to it if, while I regenerate now, using my powers didn't seem to accelerate my issues."

Posted: **Mon Apr 04, 2016 2:44 pm**

Tereza nodded, "I can see that being a concern. Could it be just delaying the inevitable though?"

Posted: **Mon Apr 04, 2016 2:59 pm**

"Yeah, probably," he admitted.

Posted: **Mon Apr 04, 2016 3:07 pm**

"I'm kind of there myself. The med center doesn't know if using my powers will accelerate this or if it's just the new normal."

Posted: **Mon Apr 04, 2016 3:35 pm**

"It would help just having a clearer idea of what it is I'm becoming."

Posted: **Mon Apr 04, 2016 7:31 pm**

"Something better?"

Posted: **Mon Apr 04, 2016 7:54 pm**

"Debatable," he said sourly.

Posted: **Mon Apr 04, 2016 7:58 pm**

"Evolution is supposed to make things better though, right? If it was a bad mutation, you wouldn't survive, but you have."

Posted: **Mon Apr 04, 2016 8:04 pm**

"More evolved lifeform and better person are two very different things."

Posted: **Mon Apr 04, 2016 10:21 pm**

"True. You really only have control over the second one."

Posted: **Tue Apr 05, 2016 12:27 am**

"And that's tricky enough by itself."

Posted: **Tue Apr 05, 2016 2:31 pm**

"Nothing there to say that becoming a more evolved lifeform won't spur you on to be a better person though. Weaving that all together myself."

Posted: **Tue Apr 05, 2016 3:25 pm**

"It sort of did. I was kind of a drunken asshole before my powers saved my life and gave me a second chance."

Posted: **Tue Apr 05, 2016 3:41 pm**

"For me, it was getting arrested and finding out there were people who gave a fuck about *me* and not just what I could do. The principal is similar." She got herself a glass of water and raised it, "To second chances?"

Posted: **Tue Apr 05, 2016 3:58 pm**

"I'll drink to that," he smiled as he raised his beer to clink her glass.

Xaviers!
