[knocks on the door and pokes his way in, blinking and looking like a little amused by the note outside]

Can I ask you about self-defense class though?

isthe_princess March 10 2010, 16:12:42 UTC

... my powers, I mean- mutation. I shift genders when I get nervous.

fairerthandeath March 10 2010, 16:22:57 UTC

[ He blinks a second. Well that's... different. He isn't sure what he was expecting, but probably not that. ]

... I can see how that would be awkward. How nervous are we talking? I mean, has it... happened a lot?

isthe_princess March 10 2010, 16:25:28 UTC

I'm not really sure where the breaking point is. So far, it's only happened when I get extremely agitated, for one reason or another. I mean- I'll probably have better control over my powers after a while. But at the moment, it's still...

Rather volatile.

fairerthandeath March 10 2010, 16:29:07 UTC

Ok, so... you're worried people will freak out or something?

[ Thinky thinky think. If there's one thing Sheppard's good at, it's solving problems. ]

isthe_princess March 10 2010, 16:30:18 UTC

That's one of the reasons.

[and the humiliation on his part too!]

fairerthandeath March 10 2010, 16:32:21 UTC

Hey, take it easy.

[ Pushes himself away from the door and paces a little back into the office. ]

Well, it only happens when you're nervous right? So what would make you less nervous? I mean, am I making you nervous?

isthe_princess March 10 2010, 16:34:36 UTC

A little. I'm uh... no good with strangers. But this I can handle. It gets really bad when I get angry, or uh... embarrassed. [read: "embarrassed" = teased to death.]

fairerthandeath March 10 2010, 16:39:38 UTC

OK, well... Would it help if we weren't strangers? I can tell you about myself!

[ He crosses the rest of the way and leans himself against the edge of his desk. He'd have sat on it, but there's no room with all the paperwork... ]

It's not.... thrilling, but it's only fair. You've told me something about yourself, I can tell you something about me. We're practically friends already!

isthe_princess March 10 2010, 16:41:04 UTC

[smiles a little]

Yes, I'd appreciate that, sir.

fairerthandeath March 10 2010, 16:54:31 UTC

Ok! Well...

[ He thinks for a minute -- ]

I'm ex-military. US Air Force, we got all the coolest toys. F-16s, Ospreys, helicopters -- you name it, I've probably flown it. ... Ended a little badly for me, disobeyed a few orders.

[ He pauses-- ]

They were stupid orders, though. But... You're probably curious about how I ended up here at 'Mutant High', right?

isthe_princess March 10 2010, 16:57:38 UTC

[the kid is practically glowing, sparkling... he loves planes.]

Tell me more about the planes.

fairerthandeath March 10 2010, 17:02:28 UTC

[ Sorta glad for the out, if he's honest. But he also likes planes, so it's awesome. ]

You like planes? -- You know, I was attacked by a swarm of paper planes earlier today and someone told me you'd been teaching them.

[ He smiles. ]

Know what an F-16 looks like?

isthe_princess March 10 2010, 17:06:44 UTC

[Oops.] Uh, I did, but I didn't expect her to go overboard like that.

The F-16 is the one known as the Viper, yes?

fairerthandeath March 10 2010, 17:26:18 UTC

That's right! It's a pretty good multi-role fighter jet. Pretty reliable -- some of the earlier models had a little engine trouble but they pretty much sorted it out.

isthe_princess March 10 2010, 23:39:19 UTC

How is it like, being up there in the sky?
