Everyone's being really... talkative. Open. Truthful.

I bet this is a curse.

[ooc: Quicksilver's normal today. He had enough of spilling his guts on Tuesday. ;) ]

A curse? I didn't think of that! Now that I think of it, though, it probobly is...

[changeisgood_4u]

Well, since we go to a school for it, it's kinda like that. I suck royaly at potions.

Yup, inbred as can be. That's a lot of it. They don't allow themselves to marry anyone who isn't 'pure' by their standards, so after a while the options start to thin, and then you're jus' scraping at the bottom of the gene pool. It's dangerous, all right, but I don't know too much about it, if there where was ever any disibilities, 'cause they covered a lot of things up. Secrets, and the like. I really don't like them.

If there isn't a war in your world, you're lucky. It's terrible, I'll tell you firsthand. I used to wake up everyday wondering if my best friend or a schoolmate or something had died that night. We all started reading the obituaries in The Prophet before the actual articles, and... it was jus' horrible.

Yeah, I guess, but I don't think 'Tonks' is as cool as something like 'Quicksilver'!

[OCC: yeah- ugh! Crossover plunnies attacking- noes! DX]

I went to a school too (graduated a few years ago) that taught us all how to use our powers. Our lessons were pretty individualized, though, to suit the needs of all the students. Oh, except for training. There we just all learned to fight

[changeisgood_4u]

Huh, that's pretty cool. I'd of loved a metamorphagus class back when I was in school.

Oh, That'll happen in a few generations, I'm sure, but they're all so bloody rich they'll probobly ship some 'pure' wizards from overseas or something and start again. They'd rather be messed up like that then let go of their stupid pride.

For us, the war was unavoidable, so I'm sorry you might be heading towards one, but what I'm saying is if you can, avoid it. Believe me, it's a good idea.

...they take them to... expirement on? That's horrible. Oh, god, nothing ever happened like that at home. The death eaters would tourture people when they didn't submit, but, expirement? Oh...

Nah, I'll stick with Tonks, I've gotten used to it. I'm jus' saying, you have a nice name, the nickname and the other one, both.

[x_needforspeed]

But what happens when all the pure wizards in the WORLD are down to two? It'd mean the end of their kind. They mustn't think about the future much if they don't see that. Do they think they'll live forever?

If I get the chance to go back, I'll try to tell people that. I think people might be too full of fear and hate towards each other to listen by then, but I'll try.

Yeah. I don't doubt that what they do is equal to torture. I don't have any friends who were taken, but... it's only a matter of time. No one's ever come back, so I don't know how bad it is, but it's probably really bad. They're not gentle taking them away, and if you resist, they're really ungentle.

They want to know all about us, so that they can build things to fight us, or to see if they can make us "normal". Most of us see how we are as normal, and we don't want to be changed. But the people they take away don't come back. My father wants to stop that. Actually, it's the one thing the X-Men agree with us on.

Ah, well, thank you.

[changeisgood_4u]

I don't think the situation would ever get to that extreme, no, but if you ever manage to ask them that in a way so that they don't hex you first, tell me what the answer is. And if you asked them, yes, the'll proboly say they're gonna live forever

[x_needforspeed]

Well, I can run away really fast. Is there anyone here for me to ask? Maybe we can find a way to your world and I can go with you and ask someone. And it's silly to think they'll live forever. Thinking like that means people take unnecessary risks, and then someone proves to them that they can't live forever. Happens all the time

[changeisgood_4u]

Well my aunt and uncle-by marriage, his wife and their kid're here, all of them are purists to heart. I can't stand them, personally. Though, they seem to've dissapeared recently... and silly is a funny way to discribe 'em, but apt enough.

Yeah, Alien invasions never quite seem to pop up when you need them to.

The'd catch you. They always do. Once they set their sights on you, you're as good as dead.

That sounds really terrible. I'm not sure I know what I'd do in your place... The Magneto guy(Your da, right?) he seems kinda powerhungry, but I can understand his view. Still, I think it's best to avoid war. The mind-reader sounds a bit like Dumbldore, a great wizard who leads The Order. He's terrific, stong and wise, but a lot of people thought he was a loon because of how he delt with things, helping people jus' for the sake of it. This City... For all the curses, I agree, it's nice to have a break from everything crazy at home.

[x_needforspeed]

Hmm... well, if they show up again, point me in their direction. It might be safe to ask the kid, he can't possibly do anything fast enough to hurt me.

No, sadly they don't. I doubt they'd catch me. Especially if I was to go there from here, I could probably just get back to the City if I was in trouble.

My father probably is powerhungry. Nothing's ever good enough for him, so he always wants more. And I don't think I'd be a big fan of war, either, so I'm hoping it doesn't happen. My father would probably say it was inevitable, though.

This Dumbledore does sound like Xavier, they both sound really idealistic. The trouble is that the world rarely takes the idealist's path, and then these people get really mad that things didn't happen the way they wanted them to. You gotta be able to roll with the punches, too, though I think most people have problems doing that.

I'm trying to see if I really want to go home. The curses are annoying, but... At least it seems unlikely I'd be killed here, just for being a mutant.

[changeisgood_4u]

Heh, well, if you're really that interested in argueing a point, go for it. His name's Draco Malfoy, and he lives in the opera house, I think. He'll most likely jus' get real angry and try to hex you. Your power is running fast, so high-tail it when he points a wand at you.

Well, Dumbledore did win the last war(more-less), so I dunno how idealistic he is, it worked last time, if only by the skin of our teeth. All he really wants if for people to stop being killed, he jus' wants to end the war. He doesn't care about changing your opinion or getting everyone together and holding hands singing 'kumbaya'. But maybe the Xavier guy doesn't really care about that, either. In the end, yeah, you have to stick with you're opinions and roll with the punches to get successul, and I think the whole deal is wearing on Dumbledore, truth be told. He's...Dumbledore's an old dude

[x_needforspeed]

Opera house, opera house... okay, I think I know where it is. I'll just have to make sure I get the right person.

Wand? Like a stick, possibly with a star attached to the top? I'll watch out for it.

Okay, maybe Dumbledore's not. But Xavier definitely is. His pet geeks are always going on about treating everyone fairly and working together, mutants and humans. In our world right now, it's just completely unrealistic. Which isn't to say I necessarily agree with my father, I just think we need a better plan.

I... haven't really sworn my loyalty. I'll follow Wanda, but... I haven't made any other promises, really. I guess I can take some time here to figure that out.

[changeisgood_4u]

The malfory brat boy... he's got hair kinda like yours, actually. Maybe a bit blonder, if that icon's accurate.

...wands don't have a star... Hey! stop making fun~

Well, Dumbledore always does what he thinks is right morally, and that kinda thins recources and all, so he's got an idealistic steak, sure, but maybe it's not as big as the Xavier guy's. Guh, I dunno...

...Who's Wanda? Does little Peitro have a girlfriend~?

[x_needforspeed]

Well, my hair's white, so unless his is too, his hair's darker than mine. I'll keep my eye out for a blond kid around the opera house. How old is he, ten? Twelve?

They don't?! I distinctly recall seeing a picture of the tooth fairy as a kid, and her wand had a sparkling star on top of it! So it's just a stick of wood? What happens if it breaks?

Wanda, my girlfriend?!? Eeeewwww!!!! She's my sister! We're twins, actually. And no, I don't have a girlfriend.

[changeisgood_4u]

Uh, I don't really keep up with him, I think he's like... 15-ish? I'm not sure... He's an older teenager, that I know.

We aren't toothfairies!! I never said anything about fairies! Faries don't even have wands anyway- you're just silly!

If it breaks, you gotta get a new one, just like everything else in the world.

Ha ha! Didn't mean that, but you randomly mentioned a girl, so I though...

A handsome chap like you with no girlfriend? Impossibe! XD

[occ much love for the icon, btw]

[x_needforspeed]

Oh. So maybe he has had a chance to learn a few things. Well, I can still run fast enough to get away if he doesn't like my question. Or I can try to encounter him in the journals, and then I can ask him.

Faries do have wands! See:

[changeisgood_4u]

You can probobly outrun him with the whole superpower thing, but whatever floats your boat...

...that's not any faerie I've ever seen. They're usually smaller, and more... annoying.

Wow, you have a lot of questions! Well, until you get a new one, the old one doesn't always work, it backfires and does spells wrong. As far as I'm aware of, it doesn't store exess power. If somebody steals your wand, they'll probobly give it back, because no one's wand works as well as one they buy themselves. Of course, if they don't give it back you can always buy a new one. And you can only use a wand, no sticks. If you wanna hide your wand in a walking stick or a cane, people do that all the time, but then you have to get the cane or whatever special made.

Who made that bet? A guy on you're brotherhood? He sounds kinda... special.
