*suddenly in camp, a young man in a wheelchair making an off-handed comment -- almost as if he had been talking to someone -- in a rather posh British accent*

So... not 1962, then...

((ETA @ 4:45AM EST: HOLY SHIT I'M GOING TO BED will pick up old and new threads over the course of the coming days!))

No but I would rock some of those hairstyles.

[mind_over_metal]

*chuckles*

That's the only way to wear them, really-

*pauses, frowns slightly, but then continues*

So... are you from around here?

[soviet_catboy]

Not originally! I don't think anyone is.

[mind_over_metal]

Really. How curious. I do feel a little less special now, but it gives us all something in common, doesn't it.

[soviet_catboy]

You're the only dude here in a wheelchair, which makes me kind of worried. Running is sometimes... important. Also I don't think most of the buildings have ramps.

[mind_over_metal]

I'm pretty good at taking care of myself. Though... the latter might be a bit of a problem.

*rubs his forehead tiredly, like he's getting a headache just thinking about it*

What sort of facilities are there around here?

[soviet_catboy]

[:( walks a little closer, subconsciously]

There's a Mess Hall with free food, and a hospital, and showers and an onsen... uh, labs for the sciencey people... facilities, what facilities--the Arts and Crafts Hut? And there's housing for everyone.

[mind_over_metal]

*either doesn't notice or doesn't care*

All very good to hear about. I'll especially want to be taking a look at those labs.

And, ah... a hospital, you said?

[soviet_catboy]

Yep, staffed with totally legit medical doctors! ...Most of them are totally legit medical doctors. I think some of them are more, like, magic? But they all wanna help so whatever.

[mind_over_metal]

"Magic."

[soviet_catboy]

Yep. Not unexplained science or whatever, either. Actual magic.

Ta-dah!

[mind_over_metal]

Now that I will have to see.

[soviet_catboy]

Go for it! There are a couple of witches and wizards, but some people are, like, benders, and some are mutants but they have powers too, and... basically you just have to ask. I really cannot tell the difference sometimes.

[mind_over_metal]

Do you know many mutants or other types like that?

[soviet_catboy]

Jubilee's awesome! She's basically my go-to mutant? And... there are some super-smart kids here but I dunno if it's a mutation or what.

[mind_over_metal]

I'm glad to hear that you have such friends.
