It probably looked like Matt simply had his eyes closed. At least, it probably looked like that on first glance, but the two fingertips trailing into the coffee in the cup by his hand likely gave the impression he was actually asleep, but it wasn't like the coffee was hot, or something. He still hadn't entirely decided to do anything about that, because he was trying to figure out the answer to the first labour.

Because really, how did you make an everlasting brownie?

He'd considered and discarded LSD (flashbacks counted as everlasting, right?), genetic resequencing so that Ganesh simply thought he had always just eaten a brownie (too expensive), a really large brownie (ridiculous), and a knitted brownie. The last was the most promising, given that Ganesh had never said it had to be edible.

Not that Matt could knit, but that was a problem for later.

He heard Maxxie's distinctive footsteps - tap, silence, tap tap tap, silence - where the silences were her blinking, and dropped his chair back down to all four feet, managing to get coffee in his eye as he brushed his hair back.

It was sort of a greeting when he looked at her, his eyes unfocused, and said something that most closely approximated to "Blargh."

	"Hello to you, too," Maxxie replied, pulling up her own chair and settling into it, at least for the moment. "Are we testing out a secret code language, so we can shout to each other and not have the bad guys know what our plan is?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

"I have coffee in my fucking eye," Matt pointed out. It might've been his own fault, but that didn't mean he couldn't be grouchy about it anyway. "It hurts. I think the maker is on drugs, and I think it's putting them into the coffee. Coffee shouldn't feel like this. Trust me, I would know if it should."

He brightened, though, as he realised all of what she'd said, and by the time he looked at her, he was smiling hugely. "A secret language would be awesome. Can we get on that first? I think we should."

	"I don't know if Tom's ready to go there or not," Maxxie admitted. "But he's always around me all the time anyway, and he was willing to train and learn how our powers interacted, so he's willing to do something. Who do you think is trying to hide in plain sight?"

	"If we lose them, is that bad?" Maxxie asked. "And do we all have to be doing the exact same thing? We can have multiple plans going. Groups within a group. As long as everyone is pulling their weight and doing something towards the cause, even if it isn't going out to play poster child. We can attack the problem from multiple angles."

	"We need a mission statement. To better the lives of wild cards. Or to save wild cards, or save the rights of wild cards to be human and expect human decency," Maxxie suggested. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I like that," he said with surprise. "Never thought I'd say that about, you know, a fucking mission statement, but it at least lays out a ground level that we expect everyone to stand on. And if someone can't agree ... then this isn't the place for them." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
