[The tops of buildings are so nice at night, aren't they? Here, gentle viewer, share Claire's pretty view of the city lit up at night. She's currently leaning over the edge of the rooftop of the X-baby apartment, enjoying the chilly night air. This should probably be backdated a day or two.]

Catty's right. It's been a whole year.

[But she's not

[mercwithmouth]

I could keep you company...

[pyromatique]

One word for you.

Jailbait.

[ ooc :: afsgshsjdkd if we're not supposed to see Deadpool's comment then :3 ignore this. ]

[regeneracy]

I don't think he really cares. [There's a pause.]

Not that I'm that jailbait...y.

[pyromatique]

Cause he's a fucking pervert?

How old are you?

[regeneracy]

Seventeen.

[YEAH OKAY SO SHE'S UNDERAGE.]

[pyromatique]

Figured as much. X-baby.

[regeneracy]

Hey, it's not that young! I'm almost eighteen. Technically.

How old are you, anyway? Fifty?

[pyromatique]

Cause you've been here a year? Do people actually age around here? Seems like they're all just younger. Like Magneto's about a hundred years old back where I'm from.

And I'm not fifty. I'm old enough to do adult things. [ Not old enough to drink though, but do you think he cares? ]

[regeneracy]

I'm not sure how people age around here. All I know is I was sixteen when I woke up here, and I'm pretty sure my birthday passed a while ago. You can't be that much older than me.

And just so you know, if I knew Erik in the time I come from, he'd probably be close to a hundred too. I'm guessing you're from the same time as that Scott guy?

[pyromatique]

I'm turning twenty. Which is why I don't need to live in your fancy x-baby apartment.

And yeah. Scott was one of my teachers. He can be a real snorefest, but at least he's not a major dick like Wolverine is.

[regeneracy]

Really? I thought it was the other way around. I liked Wolverine.

Also? There's nothing wrong with our apartment. What's so wrong about being around people like you, that are close to your age? You never know, you might like it. And my company has to be ten times better than whoever you're stuck being assigned to live with. I bet they can't do healing party tricks.

[pyromatique]

They're both dicks in their own way. You shouldn't hang out with them too much. Unless you're planning on being part of the leather geeks, in which case -- have fun with that.

Also? [ Yeah, he's mimicking her now. ] It's called being independent. You wouldn't know a thing about it if you're so used to being surrounded by people all the time.

[regeneracy]

You remind me a lot of someone that used to be here. He used to talk to me like this too.

[So it doesn't really bother her as much as it should.]

There's a difference between being independent and being an angsty loner that pushes everyone away because they're afraid of getting close to people.

[pyromatique]

Yeah? What did you do? Kick him off the planet?

I'm not an angsty loner and I'm not afraid of anything. But you're real funny.

[regeneracy]

Not...exactly. He eventually became my boyfriend. But I guess I did hit him a few times, when he deserved it.

[And now that she's blushing and awkward, she's just going to shrug and act like she doesn't believe him.]

Everyone's afraid of something.

[pyromatique]

Aw. Guess Mister Badass wasn't such a badass after all.

You're only afraid when you got something to lose.
