[ Even if a bit cold, it seemed to Hughes like an excellent day for going out and about. Things have been getting really interesting lately, and what better way to observe the results of this than by finding a nice bench to sit on and eat popcorn while he people-watches? He'll open his journal and then get temporarily distracted by the sight of

[ And Rogue is out doing errands - like getting food supplies from the grocery store for her place. Of course, these thought bubbles all over the place are insanely hilarious, but she's also confused! (ooc:thoughts in green :D)]

{ Now what in th' world is goin' on here t'day? Are those seriously thought bubbles like in' the comics? Seriously? }

[ Don't mind her, she's a New Feather too and more than a little bewildered by what was going on. ]

[Action]

[idkmybffroy]

[ And who would Hughes be to ignore the lady's confusion? Well, a jerk probably but details Might as well get in a nice walk. (ooc: got it :|b) ]

Quite the eye-openers, aren't they~? [ Indicating thought bubbles that aren't hers or his, because then it would just be weird. ] It seems we're in for one of the less dangerous experiments this round.

[ Rogue blinks, glancing towards Maes curiously. ] Y'can certainly say that - wait, this is an experiment? I was talkin' with someone a couple'a days ago, but I ain't think this is what she meant. Guess this ain't so bad.

{ 'cept for broadcastin' people's thoughts like that anyhow. }

[Action]

[idkmybffroy]

I hope it is. Otherwise I'd have to be concerned about all of this, haha! But I agree, it's not bad at all!

{ Ah, I guess I let my imagination get ahead of me. }

They're not difficult to disregard, if you'd rather avoid seeing them.

[ Rogue makes a vaguely disgruntled noise in her throat, crossing her arms. ]

How d'ya do that - they're's plain as th' nose on your face, bubbles floatin' 'round. Y'soon as ignore one as trip over another.

{ This sucks. Got 'nuff problems wi'out my thoughts bein' flashed all 'cross the city. }

...an' it ain't like y'can just stop thinkin' no-how.

[Action]

[idkmybffroy]

It's very simple~ all you have to do is look down, hm? [ IS HE BEING SERIOUS? IS HE? ]

Who wants to stop thinking, anyway? That would make for a boring lifetime~ { And much more difficult to get by in an investigation. }

[Action]

[callmerogue]

Look down. [ Flatly given. Accompanied by a flat glance. ] { Is he for real? }

That's ridiculous. Y'can't walk around all day lookin' down. [ A pause, and she sighs. ] Ain't so much borin' as short too. { Wait -- this guy's a detective or somethin'? }

[Action]

[idkmybffroy]

I like the idea better than staying locked away indoors the entire time, though. [ Laughs. ] It would turn out to be short, yes!

Ah- I'm something like a detective, I guess. I was stationed in the Investigations Department, at least.

[Action]

[callmerogue]

{ I'unno about that - locking m'self away for the duration of this stupid experiment ain't all that bad an idea. }

Yeah? What sorta investigations? Missin' person, murder, crimes...?

[Action]

[idkmybffroy]

I prefer the fresh air, myself, even with this interesting outcome.

A little bit of everything, I suppose. Something of a case-by-case basis.

[Action]

[callmerogue]

Really. Y'don't mind that people can jus' read your thoughts whatever they are?

[ Hrn. ] So what kinda cases ya done recently? Anythin' real weird?

[Action]

[idkmybffroy]

If it's going to happen, I'd rather be enjoying the weather while it does~

{ Ah... } There was quite the string of murders going on, only targeting a specific group of people. Very unpredictable. Dangerous.

[Action]

[callmerogue]

{ Guess there's one o' those types in every world. *sigh* }

A serial killer...? What kinda people was he -- or she -- targetin'?

[Action]

[idkmybffroy]

{ Very true. }

Mm. State alchemists. [ Pause. ] Which is really just a term for soldiers of a certain rank. No surplus of leads there.

[Action]

[callmerogue]

{ -stifled snort at the mental image of people turning lead into gold- Don't know if they have any mutants with that gift ...wouldn't surprise me though. }

So if it ain't got nothin t' do with turnin' lead into gold, why the name Alchemist? Ain't that the term for someone pretty popular for doin' that?

[Action]

[idkmybffroy]

Well, lead into gold is quite a taboo for them. You can't make something out of something that it's not, right?
