So... A few things I've been sitting on.

First up, Who here comes from a world where superpowers are a totally normal thing, and who here knows the hero team, uh... [ a pause as he realizes that he should've probably decided on a team before opening up this post. ] "Avengers" and the term "Mutants"?

Secondly, "I was a Former Teen Hero slash child soldier slash wartime medic" and to everybody just now getting powers and thinking that its your duty to use them for other people - it's not. You didn't ask for these. Don't get yourselves killed trying to be a big shot, I've seen it way... way too many times.

[ a pause. josh runs his fingers through his hair and tips his head back, sighing. ]

Oh my god, I sound so old. Anyway, on that note... my name's Elixir. I have healing powers and I'm offering them to other metas. If you have any need of any medical care, especially like... specialized care due to meta physiology, hit me up.

Are you still in the hotel? 'cause we could probably grab a ballroom.

[His first instinct is to roll his eyes and explain the reincarnation and other selves thing, BUT.]

As I said, I’m Loki. I can’t be kept to a single form.

Admitting you're not a teenager anymore doesn't make you sound old.

Having a mortgage made you sound way older.

[resurrxion]

[ honestly? sounds valid. ]

Shapeshifters, man.

In a hot silver fox kinda way, right?

[ his threshold for "old" might be skewed ]

[fridgeflower]

Yeah, I kinda miss my cute, middle-aged husband.

[thecoolerloki]

That’s shapeshifter-ist.

Did you need anything else?

[resurrxion]

[ he never did manage to propose there, did he. filing that away. ]

Well, guess I'd better get my shit together and build us a dream home here.

[resurrxion]

Can you define "honorary mutant"? Like, are you shapeshifting an x-gene or did somebody just decide you get to wear an X and spandex sometimes.

[fridgeflower]

Guess so. My career is back to square one, so I'm pretty useless right now.

Not that I was a financial big shot in the first place, but I could at least pay my rent.

[ She absolutely doesn't know what she's going to do now? Customer service? Convince someone to publish her already-published novel from another world? ]

[thecoolerloki]

I assisted the New Mutants prior to arriving here. And David said I counted too.

[resurrxion]

[ he hears "new mutants" anad thinks of his team, but it's far more likely loki means ]

What was going on?

[resurrxion]

You're not useless. I bet you could bang out a best seller in your sleep.

[ but also - hard same. the reason he'd joined the society was to just get some forged credentials so he didn't have to go to medical school, or out himself as a mutant to the world at large. ]

If you want, I'll work, you write. [ ... ] I - I mean, if you wanna move in with me.

You know you don't have to make those sorts of statements, right? You're no one's healing battery. Period.

I'll kick the ass of anyone who tries to make you one.

Also, good to see you making forward plans. I'm still here to be a financial advisor if you want.

[resurrxion]

Dude, I LIKE using my powers to help people. I know how to say no!

And thanks. I'll definitely be taking you up on that.

[helpdesk_hero]

I know you do. But I also have plenty of memories about how you were used. I don't want to see you burnt out when you can have the happiness you had last time, helping real people.

Also, serious advice, get a house. Or a private apartment. Move in with Laurie already. You two are way past ready imo.

[resurrxion]

i appreciate it man, but i don't need you doing this every time i try to lend a hand. my baggage is my baggage and im the one who gets to decide how i carry it

& im not commenting on my plans

[fridgeflower]

Well, sure, if it's... I mean, I don't want to throw anything off if you made plans already.

And I will work, it's just gonna be, like, Listicles and crap like that for a little while.

[helpdesk_hero]

Fair enough. I will back off on that, but remember I always have your back. It's a best friend thing.

Have you at least decided if you're guilding up, and if so, what city? I'd be sad if it was far enough away that I can't get in gaming or chill time with you.

[resurrxion]

No, no way! I just realized I was kind of assuming and not, like, asking...

[ he's slightly... better at this. making a more concerted effort to check in. ]

So, like, Top Ten Hottest Heroes and all that?

[resurrxion]

i know

also yeah i have and yeah. i'm going with excelsior. its no de chima but one of the hospitals there looks pretty promising. i wanna open up a clinic for mutants metas whatever and then also try to do some work on the theoretical side

[helpdesk_hero]

So still in the same city. That's a relief. I chose Excelsior for the tech environment too. Got a gig at a place that specializes in assistive technology and prosthetics. If you ever run into someone who has tech sides on meta stuff, don't hesitate to refer them. I'm already doing meta consults on the side.

And if you run into non-metas looking for help with that sort of stuff and they don't want your brand of piecing back together, same thing.

Beyond that my apartment door will always be open to you. Couch and bed crashing are welcomed. Just need to make sure I'm in town at the time. I've already promised to help Bart on his farm some, and there are apparently road trips in the planning.

Who knew I would settle in so fast.

[resurrxion]

i'm glad for you man

[helpdesk_hero]

It's a way to help people I would never get to have back home. The technopathy really makes it easier.

So, when you get settled in, can I institute weekly dinners? Life just isn't complete if I'm not feeding you sometimes.

I have heard some people talking about "Avengers" before. They seem very popular. [ unless everyone comes from the same place, then a lot of hero teams decided to call themselves that ]
