Prompt #198 - My Power

[john_ispyro]

Prompt: If you could have any mutant/super power, which one would it be, and what would you do with it? (If you already have a mutant or super power, what one would you trade it in for?)

You're fucking kidding me, right? You're asking Pyro if he would want to trade in his pyrokinesis? Not fucking likely. At all.

As if I would want to trade my

I feel like you didn't really answer this question.

I'm not criticizing, just pointing it out.

[john_ispyro]

That's because it's stupid and irrelevant.

Who the hell are you?

[onetime_actor]

Be that as it may, I presume that you voluntarily joined this community and in doing so assented to answer the questions.

Henry Hellrung, field leader of The Order.

[john_ispyro]

WTF? I answer questions all the god damn time. Just because I answered this one differently didn't mean that I didn't answer it.

The Order? Is that one of those human Initiative groups?

[tm_rogue]

This had ta be the stupidest question ever.

[john_ispyro]

Well, not ever. But, yeah. So not for us.

[tm_rogue]

I like my power. Now at least. Wouldn't wanna change it.

[john_ispyro]

Ditto.

[daughterof_evil]

Trade that in, and I'd be something - someone - else all together, and that would just f'ing suck.

Not necessarily, you'd just be a pyromaniac instead of a pyromaniac and a pyrokinetic. And that sounds less efficient, but it isn't entirely someone else, is it?

...I could be too tired to know what I'm talking about.

[john_ispyro]

You make an interesting point but I don't agree. It's just... hard to explain. I'm Pyro. I wouldn't be me without my fire control power. It's who I am. It's my comfort. It's all that I am. With out it I'd be... lost. Empty. Nothing.

How's it going, Sasha?

[daughterof_evil]

Then its a good thing that you're not just a pyromaniac. ;)

Its going. I'm writing a paper that I may have to send to you after it gets graded, just so that I can be sure it ends up properly incinerated. How're you doing?

[john_ispyro]

*grins* Very true.

Hey, I'd love to set any schoolwork on fire, that's for certain. What's the paper on? Not that it really matters, it'd burn all the same anyway.

I'm doing okay. You know, same old, same old, you know?

ooc: He was going to mention Peter being missing, but then I decided not to because I wasn't completely sure how you guys were deciding to play it... Pyro would probably have heard something or other about Peter being missing as he likes to keep up with his "community", as he would put it, but I didn't want to make any assumptions that he'd have that info. :)

[shaman_x]

It's not all that hard to turn a pyrokine into a telekine. Just reroute the brain a little.

[shaman_x]

Pfft.

[john_ispyro]

I told you before, Mike. No messing with my head.

[kon_man]

Yeah, but you can only destroy things with fire. I don't see how you get to save anyone that way.

And, yeah, telekinesis does rock. especially during sex

[john_ispyro]

Yeah, well. Guess that's why I'm a bad guy.

You have telekinesis too? Man, everyone and their dog has it.

[kon_man]

Actually, my dog doesn't. He can fly, though.

I have tactile telekinesis. It's totally awesome but I probably haven't mastered it all yet.

[john_ispyro]

Your dog flies. That's f'ed up, man.

There's different kind of telekinesises? What's the tactile one?
