3 - [Action/Voice]
[It's been over a month now since he first arrived. Luceti isn't any homelier now than it was then. Only now he's getting restless from being stuck here so long. Pretending to ride a bike cross country in the Dome ain't exactly satisfying when it keeps stopping in one hour intervals. So maybe it's time to look beyond the enclosure. Here he goes with the journal.]
I keep hearing about these missions people are going on. I've read the advertising too. Besides being a cure for boredom, do people have a good reason for doing their dirty work? Because frankly, I'm getting a little bored myself. But playing toadie to cash in for prizes ain't exactly the way I do things.
[Good enough. He'll stick around to answer that for awhile, then head to the Rec Center. He doesn't like it when its crowded with teenagers, but when he's lucky, he can play a game of pool by himself. After some time there, he'll be running a Danger Room scenario for himself in the Battle Dome. Lots of explosions and slashing. It's really cool, okay. After some time back home checking out some of Kurt's old movies and TV shows (at least the kid had some taste), he'll make his evening at Good Spirits. He'll take them by the bottle, bartenders. He don't even need you to remove the lids for him. That's what adamantium claws are for. Just another day in the life of the Wolverine.]

[ action ]
[Because Logan won't go for that.]
[ action ]
No.
[That's a "hell no," but X-Men is a kid's show.]
[ action ]
[ action ]
[She takes another sip.]
He was funny, though.
[I touched him.]
Annoying.
[ action ]
There any kind of pattern to your roommates? [Mia? And that guy? Not exactly seeing a similarity.]
[ action ]
[ action ]
[ action ]
[...no, she gets sloppy sometimes. She gets angry and she loses it and she just wants to go in and bust something up. All the same, she tilts her Pepsi towards him in accusation.]
When you get sadistic.
[ action ]
[He raises his bottle just a bit higher before finishing the rest of it.]
[ action ]
And she gulps a little, because no one really wants Wolverine alluding to being sadistic.]
Small mercies.
[She moved to cradle the Pepsi in her hand. She didn't really feel the need to fill up the air with conversation. There was just something good and solid about being next to him, both of them themselves.
And it was pleasantly distracting from any other issue.]
[ action ]
But Rogue was good at stewing. Logan could always use a good silent stewing.
So a good amount of silence will pass before he even speaks up again.]
You still play pool?
[ action ]
It's somethin' ta do.
[Heck yeah, I kick ass.]
[ action ]
[Or maybe nobody wanted to play with him. Also possible.]
[ action ]
[ action ]
[ action ]
[Or talking about that last experiment.]
[ action ]
[Still. Not as bad as resorting to some of the elf's DVD collection. Why did he want Gilligan's Island of all things?]
[ action ]
[ action ]
In an hour.
[He'll drink or something until then.]
[ action ]
[She slid off the stool. Because even though she had a feeling he was doing this just to be difficult, she had her pride, dammit, and she wasn't going to just hang around waiting.]
See ya then.
