7 - [Action/Voice]

[snikting]

Lately Logan has been a rare face around Luceti and an unreliable teacher at best. Fortunately he had Ororo and Natasha to cover when he wasn't around, lest his students get the funny idea they were getting off time. That was the result of the man taking any mission the Malnosso offered him. Anything to get out of the cage. But the last one was from one cage to another. While they certainly gave him more challenge than he got in the dome, their combat testing didn't sit well with him. Especially because he forced himself to hold back. He wasn't fond of the Mallies knowing just what he was really capable of. he didn't care for the keen interest in his claws. He'd known too many scientists like that.

So when he got back to Luceti on the evening of the fourth, he was still on edge. He sated himself by picking up a some booze at the bar- to go, before heading back to the house. Tonight his idea of relaxation was putting his feet up to watch an action flick, smoke a cigar, and ignore any requests that he wash himself clean of the last ten days of heavy combat.

The next day, he'll resume his training sessions and otherwise be found at the Dome all day, until the evening where he'll retreat to the bar.

Back in Luceti. If yer here an' ain't dead, show up for training. You know when to be here.

If anyone else is looking fer some trainin', we can talk. I specialize in people with special powers. I usually work with mutants, but there ain't a whole lot of us here. So talk to me if you're interested. Just don't expect nothing easy.

Welcome back, Logan. All in one piece, I hope?

[Voice]

[snikting]

Seems so. May have lost a lung at one point, but it grew back.

Re: [Voice]

[widows_kiss]

Well that's useful. I'm envious.

[Voice]

[snikting]

It ain't all peaches and cream, Red.

I miss anything?

Re: [Voice]

[widows_kiss]

Neither is losing a lung.

Probably. Nothing I can think of to be immediately vital, however. Training's seemed to have gone smoothly. It'll be good to have you back though.

[Voice]

[snikting]

[It's subtle, but there's a quirk of the eyebrow over here. Because he heard things got a bit weird ago a week ago.]

Is that right. Well, glad to know it was quiet. Last time I was away, I heard some bastard caused trouble in the forest.

[He'd have liked to have been in that fight. Lucky Ororo, she actually got to join in.]

Re: [Voice]

[widows_kiss]

If there was action in the forest this time, it was a different sort. You should probably be relieved you were gone this time. No fighting that I stumbled across. Just a lot of confused people and a lot of fake skeletons shoved unceremoniously out of made-up closets.

But hey. You could have ended up with a brood of illegitimate children or an evil twin.

...Or a good one. Still trying to figure that one out.

[Voice]

[snikting]

... yer gonna have to elaborate on that one, cuz that don't make any kind of sense.

Re: [Voice]

[widows_kiss]

I'm still trying to figure it out myself. Everyone went crazy and I spent most of the time in the coffee house waiting for it to blow over. Everyone seemed to think something different, and I only saw what affected some of my teammates. Clint thought he was a crime lord and that he had kids. Bucky thought he was a ghost and kept trying to haunt people. Pepper spent the week planning a wedding that I'm pretty sure Tony knew nothing about. And that's only the tip of the iceberg.

See? Explanations don't make it make any more sense.

[Voice]

[snikting]

Ugh, experiments. Fancy a guess at what it was trying to accomplish?

Re: [Voice]

[widows_kiss]

I don't know where to even start. Trust me, I spent days trying to spot a pattern.

[Voice]

[snikting]

See, I liked the thing with the different zones. It made sense. An' I got to punch a caveman.

Re: [Voice]

[widows_kiss]

Did you get to ride a mammoth?

[Voice]

[snikting]

I preferred the Studebakers.

Re: [Voice]

[widows_kiss]

So did I, actually. Pity we weren't allowed to keep them.

[Voice]

[snikting]

[He grumbles in agreement.] I'm gettin' real tired of walking.

Re: [Voice]

[widows_kiss]

I bet you could find a pair of roller skates in the items shop. Maybe a skateboard?

[Voice]

[snikting]

And maybe a gag to go with them.

Re: [Voice]

[widows_kiss]

Kinky.

[Voice]

[snikting]

[... well.]

All that tight leather, should've figured you'd be into that.

Re: [Voice]

[widows_kiss]

Yes, my opinion on your intuition has just suffered a devastating hit.

[Voice]

[snikting]

Well I hate to break it to ya, Red, but I'm a traditional kind of guy. You'll have to find someone else who likes handcuffs.

Re: [Voice]

[widows_kiss]

That is such a shame, Logan. Are you certain?

[Voice]

[snikting]

Absolutely. You'll have to get your kinks elsewhere.

Re: [Voice]

[widows_kiss]

Hey, you were the one that suggested it. But I suppose I'll recover from my disappointment. Eventually.
