[Blaine turns on the NV and is quiet for a moment. He looks clean and put-together, not a even a stay curl manages to escape the gel he has on his head, but any one who knows him well might notice that his eyes look tired

What exactly is your ability? [ She remembered first meeting him when he believed he didn't have one - she did say it would take time ]

[mediumdrip]

At the risk of sounding too much like a corny super hero movie, I think I can move things with my mind.

That's telepathy isn't it?

[longaevus]

Telekinesis, to be precise. [ She's holding herself back from giving the distinction of why. Not the time, Helen, not the time ] How did you discover it?

[mediumdrip]

Which one is telepathy? Is that when you can read other people's minds? [He frowns a bit and thinks he should have read more comic books. Also, unsure how to answer that question.]

[askedtobe]

I used to have the same problem.

[mediumdrip]

How did you handle it?

[askedtobe]

I practiced. Found someone to help. [ and then he almost blew up NYC, but shhh... we don't speak of this. ]

[mediumdrip]

What sort of help?

You didn't have it back home? Usually parents are meant to help their kids with that sorta thing.

[mediumdrip]

Nope. My reality was strictly super-power free. [He manages an apologetic look] My parents wouldn't even begin to understand how to help me with this.

[tinderfoot]

... Huh. I guess it's true, then, what people say about some getting new abilities here, then. Well, there's some really basic stuff that everyone should know, no matter what it is they can actually do. Things like you'll have to focus really hard to get your magic or whatever you wanna call it to work for you. And if you lose your temper, you're probably gonna lose control of it too. Which can be really bad, depending.

[mediumdrip]

Right. That last part I've figured out. [He frowns a bit] How do I get it back under control?

[makes_asteroids]

As Dr Magnus has said - you have to us it to learn to control it. I have a form of kinesis myself, I'm willing to work with you if you'd like.

[mediumdrip]

There's no way I can just get it under control again?

[makes_asteroids]

[Where you not listening? There is a faint note of irritation to his voice.]

That is how you get it under control.

[mediumdrip]

[Blaine takes a moment and then accepts, because irritation is not something he wants to deal with]

Okay. I'm sorry. I'm not used to worrying about this sort of thing.

[Text then video]

[Text of an address near the borders of Sectors 4 and 9]

[Jubilee is hanging upside down on the uneven bars because she can.]

Come to that address. We'll help you out, not a problem.

[mediumdrip]

[Blaine sort of gives this girl a raised eyebrow]

Who are you? [He isn't trying to be rude, but, honestly? He's not just going to go to some weird place because some upside down girl told him to]

[thelittlestbub]

[She flips down and bows to the camera.]

I'm hurt. You work at Purgatory and don't know me? Jinxy, Jinxy, Jinxy... gonna have to have a talk with that girl.

I'm Jubilee of the X-Men, I've had mutant powers since I was eleven and...

[Small PAFs hover just above her hands and detonate with soft pops.]

I'm offering a safe place where people won't get hurt and as you put it, "some of you come from worlds where powers exists" - thaaaaaaaaaat'd be me. Well, most of the house actually. Surely Jinxy's talked about House of Awesome right? Or Claudio? Someone? You're killin' my ego here dude.

[mediumdrip]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean "you" I meant the "we" that you were referring to. I... Well, is it some kind of organization or is the "House of Awesome" just a nickname for a kind of frat house? [The last bit of that sentence might be his attempt at a joke]
