Cast of Characters: Negasonic Teenage Warhead, X-23, Nightcrawler




Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie is trying, desperately, to make the best about this whole stupid Sentinel bullshit and curfews without just blowing up the tennis court in teenage defiance.

Friday evening when she could be in Mutant Town at the club, or anywhere but stupid Westchester.

Making the best of it though.

Which tonight means the goth teenager is out there having started a fire, without hopefully burning anything valuable, in the fire pit.

She has a pile of smores making supplies by her and is currently squinting at a marshmellow while she applies it to a sharp metal poker. "Fucking Sentinels."

X-23 has posed:
The smell of smoke is enough to get Laura to head out to the backyard, mostly to make certain that nothing is burning that shouldn't be. Seeing Ellie by the fire pit removes her concerns. Well, /most/ of her concerns. It /is/ Ellie.

She walks across the backyard, heading over towards the other girl, as she watches what she's doing. "Is everything all right?" she asks.

Nightcrawler has posed:
    Striding from a cloud of brimstone, the bursting sound of air being displaced following him, Kurt appears. Tail flicking rapidly back and forth, hands clenched at his sides. He sees the fire, and moves to settle into a crouch without invitation.
    "Why are they so Verdammt stubborn!?" looking between the two, mouth turned into a savage frown, making him look more demonic than usual. "No one is wrong, and everyone is trying to hurt and take from everyone else!" taking a long breath, "I almost understand why Logan drinks, Ja?" tail slapping the ground, the spade causing a puff of dust to rise up around it. Kurt blinks, grumbles and looks down a moment.
    "I'm sorry. Hello, Ellie, Laura... I am intruding... May I join you by the fire?" breathing deeply through his nose.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"I am... ninety nine percent certain Logan drinks because his liver regenerates and he can't get a hangover. Not scientific but a working theory" amusement there.

Then Ellie shifts and offers the metal stick with marshmallows skewered on it (but not cooked yet) to Laura handle first. "Smores or at least roasted marshmallows... Though I guess you could use your claws but here take this.. I'll load up one for Brimstone and another for myself."

That seems like an invitation to them both really.

"Who is wrong Brimstone?"

X-23 has posed:
Laura takes the skewer, with a little bit of an amused expression; she does indeed, have her own. She moves it out over the fire, though, before looking back. "Logan drinks because he is /trying/ to get drunk. That is nearly impossible, however." She has some insights on that particular case. "Yes, who is wrong?"

Nightcrawler has posed:
    "Danke..." he nods to Ellie when she notes she's prepping a stick for him. "Nathan and Lorna... Schweinekopf Gören die beiden..." shaking his head. "Can't talk to eachother, just do what they want, no asking, just using their gifts to do as they want without consideration for the other..." his tail slaps the ground again. und dann bin ich der Ruck for telling both of them they're both being wrong to each other..." he grumbles, using one hand like a bizzare puppet mouth. "Sorry, not sorry." shaking his head. "Dummer bratty amerikanischer Ausdruck. Entschuldigung nicht entschuldigung." flowing in and out of his native language without apparently realizing.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie carefully skewers two marshmallows onto a double fork poker, useful also for hot dogs, and then hands it over towards Kurt, handle first. "I've got chocolate and graham crackers if people want. No booze though because I think someone would blow a gasket if I actually sat out here drinking by a fire on a Friday night."

The loading of her own skewer begins once Kurt takes his.

"Brimstone you are talking a lot of German... either you are forgetting we are in New York or you are singing for a metal band..." her skewer is thrust in the fire.

"So they are using their powers on each other and being dicks. They are adults, maybe they should just go into the dangeroom and punch it out or something." everyone out here is aware of the room down there, so unless a lower classman chameleon mutant is listening it seems safe enough.

X-23 has posed:
Laura adds both to her skewer, putting it back over the fire. "Ellie has a point. People here are notorious for making bad decisions. Honestly, I think anyone making a /good/ decision is what should get the attention here." Her lips curl up a bit at the puppet imitation, though. And Laura doesn't laugh easily. Or at all.

Nightcrawler has posed:
    "I'm sorry... I am heated, I..." he shrugs, "Thank you..." he looks around and gets a look. "In my country you're old enough for bier." the pronounciation distinct, "I can chaperone, and we can make a middle-ground decision if you want... and if Charles finds out, I'll give my reasoning, ja?" using his tail to hold the skewer to roast his marshmallow, "You're both making sense... it's the least I could do."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Marshmallows are slowly turned and when one bursts into flames they are pulled out and blown out. "I will rain check this offer to get me bier until a later point, at which point said offer will be called in." a smirk.

She combines the toasty ooze with chocolate and a cracker and then settles in to eat it. "Unless Laura wants some. So yeah what exactly are the 'adults' doing.. and why does Nate think it is a good idea to piss off a princess of a mutant country?"

X-23 has posed:
"Beer would be pointless for me. I have the same problem as Logan only to a greater degree. And it tastes horrible." Laura explains, simply. She pulls in her s'more skewer, and watches it, curiously. "She may have initiated it. She is...poor at impulse control."

Almost as an afterthought, she adds "Thank you for the offer, Mr. Wagner."

Nightcrawler has posed:
    "Bitte, Laura... Please call me Kurt - I'm not a teacher - just a circus freak, ja?" giving a weak smile. "She's adjusting his television volume while conducting business, he's asking her, in her head, if they can talk privately that way - not asking her aloud, just... going in. Rude. Very rude of both of them."
    Rotating his marshmallows, Kurt takes a moments thought, "And then when I try to make peace, and Doug starts to de-escalate they just... go back at it!" reaching out to test his mallows. "Und then -I- am the unvernünftiges Monster for pointing out they -both- need to apologize, for different reasons."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"You seem to have a level head on it... I mean if I used my powers on someone I would definitely be told to apologize." a smirk as she takes her first bite of her smores.

"Also they are acting like they are 12.. are they crushing on each other or something?"

X-23 has posed:
"You are not a freak." Laura says, stating it as a simple matter of fact. "And it sounds as if they are both being childish. And this coming from one of the younger people here." She shakes her head. "If they do not listen, then they are a waste of effort. You should expend no more time or thought on it." Laura is fairly hard-line when it comes to her opinions.

Nightcrawler has posed:
    "Danke" Kurt bobs his head again and draws back the mallows, frowning in consideration... He's fuzzy, and melted marshmallows. He shrugs, and mouth opening wide, exposing fangy teeth he munches one of the still hot marshmallows whole. That's how you keep it out of your beard! Score one for Blue Team.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Okay Ellie watches Kurt deal with the hot marshmallows with open amusement. He manages to soundly defeat it though. She reaches down and fishes up the bag of untoasted fluff and offers it one handed to Kurt for his reload.

Her main hand has smores to be nommed "Also what she said, none of us are freaks. Talk like that makes me want to punch a nazi."

X-23 has posed:
Laura finishes off her first, and moves to put another on the skewer. "You see? You are with the more level-headed people now." She can't help but a slight quirk of her lips at that. Princess Detonation and Berserker Girl, the "level headed" ones of the mansion.

"Clearly we make the superior social group."

Nightcrawler has posed:
    The Bavarian's tail moves with considerable alactrity when the bag is offered, bringing it over to get a fresh mallow and spear it before his tail lifts and sets the bag between the ladies once done. "I think its becaus you two regularly... express your anger..." he gives a grimmace at the Nazi comment... Never a fun topic in the homeland. Bad memories, and a lot of Sins of The Father handed down that they'll likely never live down.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Well.. it is better than bottling it up. Pretty cathartic to blow up a problem once in a while or at least toast it verbally...."

"Honestly though it sounds like they are pulling each others pigtails or something... man I wish there was a nongendered way of saying that metaphor."

X-23 has posed:
"I have no idea what you mean." Laura replies. But she can do deadpan like no one else. Her skewer goes back over the fire, and then she looks back over. "I would like to say that is too immature for adults. And I do not know them both. But I have been...unimpressed by Lorna. She acts from a sense of entitlement."

Nightcrawler has posed:
    "She has a good, bad, reason. She -was- entitled, where she came from. Now she's in a land where she isn't. Habits are hard to break, ja?" Immediately taking the forgiving route, as one might expect, Kurt plows on. "She is angry, and she is displaced." he points with his tail at Ellie, "You have anger, and a strong sense for what is injust - and while I will not say I know you well enough to be able to 'know' why you feel, I understand how you feel." he smiles and points to Laura next, "You have much of your genetic father in you, and I expect as much tragedy... You both know anger. I have known anger, and tragedy. But we've had longer to grow from it, ja?"

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"She is the text book example of an entitled princess. I mean she is a Princess. She is Entitled." there is a laugh from Ellie.

"Also she can go back whenever she wants Brimstone. Her bodyguard can open portals to Genosha at whimsy." a shrug and more marshmallows into the fire now.

"Lets see.. I killed two sets of parents with uncontrollable use of my powers. I was thirteen when the first set died on a vacation to the states. Lot of growing up fast at thatt point I guess. I'm angry about.. well everything that isn't justice and I'm willing to stand up and help people despite seeming apathetic." hand wiggle. "That sound about right?"

X-23 has posed:
Laura hasn't really made much of her past public, and isn't about to start now. "Life either breaks you or it doesn't. If it does not, you develop means to cope." A thought crosses her mind, an unpleasant one, and she says nothing more, whisking her marshmallow away from the fire.

Nightcrawler has posed:
    "My mother left me on a roadside for dead because birthing me caused her powers to stop for a time and she couldn't hide me... So she chose herself." Kurt gives a sad smile, "And the circus that raised me tried to sell me... and blamed me for the death of my step brother." he shrugs, "Ja... you learn to cope. All of our experiences are different... and I'm still sorry both of you have had sadness and pain, not pity though. Just a wish for a happier younger years. I know neither of you are the type, often, but there's always an offer for a hug if you ever wish ja? I am told by some I look like a big plush..."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie just gives Kurt a very skeptical look there and pulls flaming marshmellow out of the fire and blows them out. It is very well timed and executed.

"Eh it makes us the level headed not spoiled brats club I guess. So there is a silver lining on the storm clouds."

X-23 has posed:
"I am not a hugging person." Laura says, and she'll move to stand. Apparently whereever her thoughts took her, it's soured her mood some. She gives a nod to both of the other two. "Thank you for the marshmallows, Ellie. And it was good to speak with you both. But I think I will take my leave."

Nightcrawler has posed:
Kurt Wagner bows his head to Laura as she goes. "Be well, Laura. Gott be with you." and then he looks to Ellie, removing his marshmallow from the fire while pointing with his tail, "A good way to look at it, ja. Silver linings." he gives a genuine smile. "So... Now that I've grumped, and we've all been made a bit grumpy by talk of sad things - what can I do to lighten the mood, if possible?" offering a bright, fang-toothed smile.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
There is a snrk of a noise from Negasonic. "I am pretty good honest. Unlike Laura I am not easily sent off into a spiral of dark thoughts." there is a pause "It is because I am a hurricane of dark thoughts all the time.. so well.. eeeh?" amused shrug.

"How did you get rooped into being mediator for those two kids anyways?"

Nightcrawler has posed:
    "Charles brought us here to be among our own, I understand we fight with eachother sometimes. But everyone, if behaving poorly, should be corrected so that they can learn the error of their ways, and when we fight among ourselves, it is wrong to let there be anger without reason, so - I had to try." he takes a moment to devour another marshmallow, swallowing before he continues. "Blessed are the peacemakers..."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie looks skeptical "I suppose. We do have guidance counselors and the Professor though for those sticky problems." she looks at the sticky marshmallow on her fingers and licks them off now. "Still I suppose you are a better person than I am Brimstone." she leans back and just closes her eyes soaking up the heat from the fire now.

"This isn't the beach in Genosha.. but it isn't too bad."

Nightcrawler has posed:
    "Acht... never say something like that, Ellie... Being angry doesn't make you a lesser person." trying to look her in the eye, but without pupils - let alone irises - that can be difficult at best. Kurt's smile faltering. "You have reasons to be angry that you've said, probably more that you have not. But in some way you agree with Charles, and not Eric... Otherwise you would not be here. So you you help us in that we need to guide humanity to acknowledge that we're not 'mutants' we're people, just like them. That makes you a better person than most."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"I'm a dual citizen with Genosha.. I could be there if I wanted to be there or here if I wanted to be here." she pauses and then allows. "It would probably be a pain in the ass to transfer all my credits and school down there and deal with getting to tolerate new people and all that."

"So yeah this is just easier." which is the long sullen way of saying that this is her home and she loves you all.

Nightcrawler has posed:
Kurt Wagner hehs and shrugs, "Well I'm glad we're the easier choice for you." tipping a wink. "For whatever reasons you have." he then points with a toe, "Also they're stealing your marshmallows." a trio of the Bamfs momentarily stopping short, all turning to look at Kurt and giving little grumbling grunting snarling sounds, shaking fists at him then trying to walk off with the sugar puffs.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie blinks and then looks down at the Bamfs and eyes them. Yeah she could probably nuke the whole lot of them and crisp the marshmallows.

That would be mean.

"They are better toasted you little lamers..." indicating the fire.

Nightcrawler has posed:
    With a laugh, Kurt watches the little imps as they look between one another and then back to Ellie. Each of them taking two or three a piece before grumbling and muttering before giving a trio of big toothy smiles and heading over to the fire, grabbing sticks along the way and working as a little team to set up roasters.
    "They appreciate your information about toasting the marshmallows." he shrugs and works on his next one, talking around it. "See, a good person. A lesser person would have tried to attack them for that..."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Don't they teleport like you do?" she watches them and their antics "Also the Bamfs and I.. well I get their prickly little selves." a shrug. She relates to them all right.

She takes a bite of cracker, no marshmallow. "I'm headed in soon, thanks for the talk Brimstone."

Nightcrawler has posed:
Kurt Wagner bows his head and smiles, "Any time, Ellie. I am always available if you'd like to talk. Or if you want we can go down to the danger room and we can see how long I can dodge before you put me on my backside... help you work out some of that anger."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Trick is Brimstone.. I don't think the anger can be soothed by blowing stuff up. Rachel is pretty good at making me calm though." she stretches as she slides up to her feet now.

"That said I love training time in the Danger Room, so yeah anytime you want."

Nightcrawler has posed:
Kurt Wagner laughs "Well... It's good you have someone to help you feel at peace." instinctively crossing himself, "Go wit Gott, Mein Friend, and may you know peace and love where it is freely given." then turning his attention to the bamfs, one of which now has marshmallow -everywhere-.
