5 - [Action/Voice]

[snikting]

[So Logan has been planning this for awhile. But he doesn't like announcing things on the journal. Because then people will want to talk to him. And he doesn't like talking to people on the journals. It's bad enough that his journal shows up even after he purposely loses it. And now elves. Damn elves. It's thanks to their pestering that he makes his move. That is, actually offering to 'give' something to the community.

Probably not what the elf had in mind. But then, he impaled it on his claws. So what the hell does he care what it thinks?]

Now I know I ain't exactly the first to offer any kind of combat instructing. So I ain't going to bother looking for civvies. If you don't know how to fight, there's plenty of other people eager to show you the ropes. Not that I ain't willing to consider ya, but you aren't the only people I'm concerned with.

What I do is train mutants. People with powers. So it doesn't matter what you can do. If you're looking to refine your powers, get stronger, and increase your chances of not dying - then I'm your man. I'm known as Wolverine. Or you can call me Logan. If you're interested, see me at the Dome. You'll be getting your introductory lesson there.

[Logan can be found at the Dome, waiting by the console. He's in his X-Men uniform. Anyone who frequents the dome won't find this look too unusual for him. There's also his latest elf. It looks fairly traumatized, worried, and paranoid. Which is why it's hiding behind one of the pillars holding up the second floor, rather than anywhere near Wolverine.

He's so very, very much on the naughty list.]

[Mia is at the dome when Logan makes his announcement. She remembers a similar offer from the fighting school, and how he didn't get many takers. So, curiouser and curiouser, Mia heads to the simulation room hallway to see who might show up this time. At the very least, she imagined Kurt, Rogue, or Ororo would be there.

And the first thing she spots is the elf. She keeps shooting concerned looks at it even as she nods a hello to Logan.]

[action]

[snikting]

[Oh. Mia. He gives her the slightest of nods. That's it.]

Come to spectate again?

[action]

[frost_jewel]

Actually, I- ['came to see who was here'. That's what she's supposed to say.]

I want to...to know what happens in one of these training sessions of yours.

[spohkh]

[Spock was knitting....


It may seem odd, however, he was rather limited considering that he was blind, and he was still rather disinclined to move much at the moment.
However, with his journal open, this voice piqued his interest....]

May I inquire as to what your experiences have been with empaths, or those with telepathic abilities?

[snikting]

I've had lots of experience with them. What's it to you, bub?

[spohkh]

[Spock tilts his head in interest... ]

I possess these abilities... I was wondering specifically what you can do for one such as myself when it comes to training....

[calmbeforethe]

Ororo had followed Logan to the Battle Dome after his announcement over the journals, wondering what sort of turn-out he might get for his offer. She has an elf of her own hiding behind her legs - this one fairly scared of the Wolverine, but apparently her duty to make sure Ororo does what she asks of her overrides her sense of self-preservation, so. Hiding behind Ororo it is.

Meanwhile, Ororo alternated between absentmindedly patting her elf on the head and glancing up at Logan's terrified one while she walked over to join him at the console.

"... This was not your elf when you left the house earlier, was it?" She frowned.

[snikting]

Logan glanced at his own elf. Immediately it gasped and hid.

"The last one suggested I should do some caroling. I didn't agree."

[calmbeforethe]

"Now you've got me curious; is the Wolverine tone deaf?" Her question was less teasing and more one of curiosity. But she does grin a little.

[voice]

[eightlazylegs]

What is mutant? [It's a word he's heard but not one he's seen well-defined.]

[voice]

[snikting]

Not normal. In our case, usually with a set of powers.

[touchofrogue]

And so it was, at the time of her appointed torture session, Rogue appeared at the Battle Dome.

"Hey. Any takers?"

Please let there be some takers. Not that she hasn't been improving by leaps and bounds, but all this personalized attention left her sore as hell.

[snikting]

"One."

Logan didn't wear disappointment. Not even now. But damn if he wasn't annoyed. What a waste of time that had been.

[ voice ]

[herotypical]

Ugh. The Dome? Really?

[ it actually sounds as though this was buffy's personal commentary, unintended for broadcast. a knee-jerk reaction meant to be kept to herself. ] That's gonna end well.

[ voice ]

[snikting]

[He heard it anyway. Just as well.]

You got a problem you feel like sharing, sister?

[rashness]

[Well he's not a soldier, so the "civvies" thing threw him off at first, but the voice is one he thinks he vaguely recognizes and well, the people with powers. Refine the powers. He does want to see what this guy's all about, because that's something he's been working on.

...Not that he's sure who to look for when he gets to the Dome. So there's a teenager with a sword on his back and a tail looking around for someone who looks like they'd be called Wolverine. He wonders if he should pull out the journal to compare it to the little image, that would probably be smart-]

[snikting]

[It might help if Wolverine was in his classic yellow spandex. As it is, he's just smoking his cigar. When he notices Rin looking a bit lost, he speaks up.]

Lookin' for something, bub?

Voice; Jeez Logan, you're such a scrooge. Impaling poor elves

[hero_of_smiles]

[He knows how to fight, heck he could be better but he's not looking for trainers. When he's about to shut the book at lack of interest in hat this guy is talking about, something does catch his attention.

'Mutants: people with powers.' Well, now he wants to see this.]

Would you be bothered if someone goes to watch you guys train?

[He's trying not to sound too weird about that, but come on. People with powers? That's cool enough to see...he's just hoping he doesn't get horribly jealous. But that's bound to happen anyways.]

Voice;

[snikting]

We ain't training for your entertainment, kid.

voice;

[metalbends]

[Well, considering how her fight with Masaomi went... :|]

Not even gonna tell us what to expect, huh?

voice;

[snikting]

[Aha. This kid, huh.]

Not much point in that, is there? Most battlefields don't come with manuals, kid.

[action]

[selfhelp]

[It isn't until later in the day that Wolverine might run into Billy- well after the training sessions would have ended. He's on his way back from the plaza with a couple of grocery bags, full of sugar, flour, and other ingredients for various confectioneries. Teddy's been ordered by his elf to make about a million cookies, apparently, so they keep running out of ingredients, and teleporters make for good gophers. Especially teleporters who are terrible in the kitchen.

As a result, Billy completely missed the journal announcement, so Logan gets a slight smile and a clumsy, bag-laden wave as he approaches to pass by.]

Hey, Logan.

[action]

[snikting]

[Normally in these scenarios, Logan would give Billy a curt nod, possibly grunt, and keep walking. It wouldn't be the first time. But today was different. Because Logan stopped.]

I've been looking for you, kid.

[Action]

[wildbluevagner]

[Kurt enters the Battle Dome fashionably late, with his elf trailing behind him. He's holoed up but clearly wearing his X-Men uniform. He's been building the habit of only turning the watch off when in simulations.]

Top of the morning?

[Action]

[snikting]

You've already missed morning, elf. You're late.

[Fashionably late. Which means Logan needs to think of an appropriate punishment.]
