[ There's kind of an... awkward shuffling when the video turns on. It's pointed down at some anonymous rooftop, and a pair of black boots are all of interest in sight. ]

So... figure most people what know me around here know me as "Robin"...

[ A long pause, with mostly just the sounds of the City. What lovely ambiance. Okay now get on with it, ( Read more... )

hey oh wait this jerk is kind of a powerful telepath and also jiminy cricket grooviestmutant September 15 2011, 04:25:36 UTC

Erik.

You are thinking of killing Shaw.

dammit conscience who needs one of those manlytear September 15 2011, 04:28:31 UTC

Yes.

[His voice is neutral, but he is just the slightest bit guilty, obvious to anyone who is currently reading his mind.]

MARIONETTES I GUESS see what i did there grooviestmutant September 15 2011, 04:36:09 UTC

[ Charles takes the most unsure of deep breaths here, sighing very softly. When he speaks, his voice is slow and low. ]

I-I had thought we'd done much to work on this.

It is not healthy. And to share your rage with a young girl?

maybe you should buy some of Pietro's puppets then manlytear September 15 2011, 04:38:42 UTC

[Erik closes his eyes for a long moment. He does not like the feeling of Charles' disappointment in him.]

I am not going to change my mind about this, Charles.

If we had caught Shaw, what would you intend to do with him? Do you really think a prison could hold him?

he'd name them ALL AFTER ERIK n then have hank put LEDs in their eyes and hide them under erik's bed grooviestmutant September 15 2011, 04:43:39 UTC

I know that you will not change your mind. Now.

[ A second sigh, and Charles obviously looks very pained and extremely disappointed. You kicked his dog, Erik. And you looked like such a good neighbor. ]

I do not believe that he should die, Erik. You know that. A prison would be built to hold him, if necessary.

erik would probably just find that hilarious, ngl manlytear September 15 2011, 04:47:48 UTC

You are being impractical, my friend. How long would it take to build a prison that could not be destroyed by the force of a nuclear bomb? How would we keep him incapacitated long enough for that to be accomplished?

uh yeah and then charles would be scared out of his fucking mind and it would backfire grooviestmutant September 15 2011, 05:10:25 UTC

(( ooc: And then Erik would have to give Charles all the cuddles. ))

[ Charles just swallows and turns away. ] I will not believe it is impossible.

oh charles, your life is so tragic manlytear September 15 2011, 05:17:49 UTC

[Erik looks down for a long moment. He does not want to make Charles feel bad, but these are questions that need to be asked.]

And what if he broke out of prison? What if he took many more lives because we refused to take one?

girlyboywonder September 15 2011, 05:19:23 UTC

[ don't mind carrie over here, just mO__Om'ing

YEAH CHARLES WHAT THEN WHAT THEN ]

[ There is an incredibly strong moment of silence here as Charles tries to tip-toe, only slightly, around what he wants to say - though he knows he is bound to upset Erik more and he must finally be honest with him. That does not mean he's not going to try to soothe him with his own mind to avoid the true repercussions. ]

Should someone take Shaw's life, it could not be you. Erik, you are too volatile. Your rage-your emotional state-it would be too dangerous for you to take even one life.

Erik, I am afraid that once you'd done so you would not stop.

manlytear September 15 2011, 05:29:46 UTC

[It takes quite some time for Erik to respond.]

You know that he would not be the first.

grooviestmutant September 15 2011, 06:10:59 UTC

[ Charles' voice is so low when he responds that he wonders if he should speak at all. His voice cracks, very slightly, and he does not have the energy to be embarrassed.

He is breathing deeply and it's apparent in his words when he does speak. ]

I know.

manlytear September 15 2011, 06:13:07 UTC

[Erik closes his eyes, his fingers curling in his lap.]

You really think that I might become the person that they say I am.

grooviestmutant September 15 2011, 07:02:21 UTC

[ Now he feels like an asshat. Here's Charles, near tears like a delicate Victorian flower. He sighs and he shakes his head, massaging his temples with a frown. ]

Erik, I did not mean - I did not mean that.

manlytear September 15 2011, 07:08:11 UTC

[Erik gives a sigh.]

You are thinking it, though.

[His voice is just slightly questioning, as though he is curious if Charles will deny it.]

grooviestmutant September 15 2011, 07:15:30 UTC

[ Charles pauses and seems to be thinking to himself further before he speaks again. ]

I think... ah, I think perhaps we should come together in private to have this conversation, Erik.
