It's not. [He says gruffly, looking at the seating. Where he might've stood before he needs to sit now, pulling a chair away from a few others to give him some space. Not that he imagines there's many people here on the verge of dying, but you never know. Wade's here, after all. That's interesting news.]

But what else are you going to do when you're going to kick it? [He snorts, fishing a cigar out from his inside pocket. Old habits die hard and when you're dying? Why not die harder, and faster too.]

I don't know, I always figured being handed a death sentence meant you could do whatever the fuck you want.

[ So not therapy, though he's here and he's not even actively dying as far as he knows so who is he to talk? ]

The ironic thing is I don't even smoke. Maybe I should pick it up — if I'm going to be sitting in on support groups I should at least get to do a cool Marla Singer thing.

	A cool what? [He asks, teeth chomping down on the cigar.] Also dying isn't an excuse for being a dick. That's just a side effect. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Kind of what you're doing except less sexy. [ Sorry, Marla. ] Funny, people who are dicks never really seem to need an excuse for it. They just piss on other people because they can.

There's a difference of dicks, of course. Eating someone's chocolate pudding that they saved for a rainy Friday night in front of Netflix is, naturally. the worst offence.

[ He's done this, you know he has. ]

	Yeah, and then there's the dickheads who don't shut up, who talk a mile a minute. [He rubs his fingers over his Old Man Beard, sitting in the chair the right way around for a change. Cigar chomp.] We all day some day, some sooner than others. Some later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pretty sure this is the one place where I'm expected and encouraged to talk, hombre. [ Scoff. ] And some people just refuse to die, apparently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He looks like he may respond to that but instead begins to cough, turning his head away to do so into a handkerchief from his pocket. It takes effort to keep the rough, wet cough from becoming a fit. He manages, but looks worse for wear - spitting red into someone's abandoned coffee up sitting on a table.]

Death finds everyone eventually. Doesn't matter who the fuck you are, or were.

	[ Gross, buddy. You're all old and deteriorating. What even happened to you? ] You sure about that? Because I'm pretty sure I should be dead thirtytwo times over by now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Give it two hundred years. [A little more, a little less.] Do I call you Wade now that you're out of the stupid suit? [He remembers. Vaguely, though at his age it all starts to conflict.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maximumeffort 2017-05-28 05:44 pm UTC (link)
	Ugh. That's too depressing to even think about. [ Seriously. ] And yeah. Wade's fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You'd rather live forever, bub? [Not that much fun.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maximumeffort 2017-06-01 08:09 am UTC (link)
	Nah. I would've been happy to get to sixty... maybe even seventy. Get a few years of nice retirement under my belt before calling it quits. [ Even that seemed idyllic before he got together with Vanessa. ] And now... well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Seventy would've been fucking nice. [Alas. He leans back in his chair. This is kind of depressing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Guess we'll see. I'm 39 now. If I'm still kicking in forty years, I guess it worked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	knewaguy 2017-06-01 07:03 pm UTC (link)
	Guess all you have to do is wait and see. [But if you're anything like him, well. Give it an additional 200 or so years.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maximumeffort 2017-06-02 08:11 am UTC (link)
	Yaaaay, I can't wait. [ With the least amount of enthusiasm. He slides down in his chair. ] Hey so, I just realised this isn't the bummed-out-about-immortality group. What're you in for? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	knewaguy 2017-06-02 08:15 am UTC (link)
	Remember that whole dying thing? [Hn.] Turns out this shit? [He extends his claws just an inch past the skin, grimacing before retracting them. The wounds remain, taking much longer to heal now.] Ain't that good for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maximumeffort 2017-06-02 08:28 am UTC (link)
	Damn. Should've known that was too good to be true. [ He pauses, brows furrowed. Shit sucks. ] Cancer for me. Liver, lungs, balls, brain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	knewaguy 2017-06-02 08:35 am UTC (link)
	And you're what, healing ahead of the curve? [Kind of like what he was doing for a while? Before everything got worse.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Something like that. [ He needs bad coffee for this. Or booze. Stay put while he gets some of the former and wishes for the latter. ]

So, I got the death sentence, right? El cancer. Nothing I could do — my girl was sending off all for all these brochures from Tijuana and China about experimental trials and all I wanted to do was slip away while she'd still remember me as a person and not a vegetable.

[ He takes a sip of awful coffee. ] Then this guy shows up. Tells me about this... genetic treatment they're working on. I have nothing to lose so I sign up and about five minutes after they strap me to a gurney I find out that it's not quite what they've been advertising. Instead, it's some bullshit super soldier program where they torture you until you trigger a mutation, so that was fun.

It worked. Here I am. A testicle with teeth that can't die.

[Different backstory but when you've lived as long as you have as an X-Man as he has, you kinda get used to fucked up timelines and things that get erased as if they never were. And hell, he really has been through a fuck ton of timeline changes so he's not really going to comment on it. But he is a bit thankful you're not the abomination you could've been thanks to Stryker.]

And the whole suit thing?

	Doesn't every vigilante need a brand? [ He quirks a non-existent brow.] Revenge plot. I needed to wear something and red means the bad guys can't see me bleed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Some not by choice. He's still not sure what dipshit decided to draw him in yellow and blue.] So you went and killed the assholes? [That he can kind of get behind.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maximumeffort 2017-06-02 06:53 pm UTC (link)
	Yep. Picked them off one by one until I got to the guy who did this to me. [ He can't help but crack a smirk and a chuckle. ] I chased one of them with a Zamboni. That was pretty great. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
