Rooms

[Cal H.]

Hey, Cal, honey.

[X-men; all of them.]

I need a couple tips on how to train a telepath, hero people.

[Clem.]

What's shaking, sweetie?

[Public.]

That party was about as fun as ping pong in space. On the other hand, great shoes.

[To the mutants]

[Mental: Tentative. It's by no means the mental shout from before but it has the same mental feel, like handwriting looking similar on the page. It's not invasive, a knock at the door rather than a foot in the gap and forcing way through. The feel of it is polite, a little bewildered.]

Are we stuck like this? [And then silence.]

[Valerie K]

[The cursor blinks for a minute or two. He starts typing. He deletes it.] Hello.

[It's not a conversation. It's a wave of sudden silence combined with a man's voice - angry and panicked and somehow present even if the man himself is not. Loud. Very very loud. And completely and utterly unintentional]

Would you all SHUT UP!

Who: Cal H and Steve R
What: A rude welcome to Marvel-land.
When: On crossing.
Where: Street in broad daylight.

( There was a buzzing in his ears, like a fly, like a host of flies, all cramming in at the same time )
