Just asked.

Actually, it's not even that good. But it's better than nothing.

[electro_kinetic]

Yeah, no, bad ramen is American college-boy food.

I've been trying to get it to put out something that doesn't taste freeze-dried.

[likeavirtue]

That.

That's exactly what it is. It tastes dehydrated, and the soup is too watery - not enough fat.

And I'm not even speaking as some kind of food critic. I just expect my ramen not to taste like it came from the discount grocery store.

[electro_kinetic]

Oh, I like you already.

It's weird, all the food here is. And the booze is worse, it just tastes outright fake.

[likeavirtue]

[ There's a quick glance at her. ]

You old enough to drink?

[electro_kinetic]

Legally? Nope. Practically? I've been drinking since I was fourteen.

It ain't gonna kill me.

[likeavirtue]

No, but the law could make drinking no longer fun for you.

[ Disapproving POLICE STARE. ]

[electro_kinetic]

Dude, I was homeless in New York City as a teenager with zero family, money, or help, for four years. If you can actually make me stop drinking I will be very impressed.

[likeavirtue]

[ Okay, that sucks for her, really it does ... but he's a cop, not a goddamn social worker!

Uh. ]

Oh, who gives a damn anyway. [ Sigh. ] We'll probably never get back to a world where legal drinking ages even matter at this rate.

ngl, I laughed so hard at that tag

[electro_kinetic]

Not like they really matter for us in mine. Most of us have gotten ourselves in more trouble than with a little hooch.

then my work here is done <3

[likeavirtue]

I guess you're not aware that you're speaking to a police officer.

[ Flatly. ]

I'll let underage drinking slide, but if you're about to tell me you and your ragtag group of friends go around stealing purses off old ladies and killing people, that's where I draw the line.

And it's a harsh, red line.

<3 <3 <3 all the hearts~

[electro_kinetic]

Because you're gonna do what? Arrest me? You're way the hell out of your jurisdiction here, man.

For the record, our trouble runs more along the lines of retaliation over people killing kids like us because we're mutants. You wanna give me shit over that because it crosses your red line, feel free. I've heard worse.

<3 4ever

[likeavirtue]

Look, kid, you've obviously got your share of troubles. I'm not here to piss on your emo parade if that's what you wanna do. Certainly not because you've got some kind of mutation.

I'd be a hypocrite if I gave people shit for being different.

[ Small, vague shrug. ]

I'm just saying you'd better have a damn good reason for causing trouble - because being outside of my jurisdiction also means I don't have to follow protocol.

whoops misfire

[electro_kinetic]

You ain't gonna slap cuffs on me, man. If you wanted to you'd've done it by now.

[likeavirtue]

[ Thaaaaat ... actually gets a wry smirk from him. ]

All right. Fair.

I don't plan on arresting you - whether or not I could, which we'll leave up to debate.


So tell me what you mean by 'because we're mutants'.

[electro_kinetic]

I mean exactly what I say. Because we're mutants, because we're more than human--or not quite human, depending on who you ask--some people think we need to be exterminated.

[likeavirtue]

Explain.

How exactly are you a mutant anyway? I don't see any tails or extraneous digits on your fingers. No third eye, or third leg.

Is it something more internal? Carefully crafted DNA?

[electro_kinetic]

[ She holds up a hand, and within a second's time it's full of what looks like a lightning storm in miniature, arcing between her fingers and her palm, and between it and her other hand as she moves them closer. ]

Internal. You could say that, yeah.

[likeavirtue]

[ Kennex lets out an impressed whistle. ]

Damn.

Now that's something.

[electro_kinetic]

Yeah, that's one word for it.

Would you be as impressed if I said I could feel the electrical impulses from the pacemaker cells in your heart?

[likeavirtue]

Yes.

Yes I definitely would.

[ o_o ]

[electro_kinetic]

It's called electrokinesis. It also means I make one hell of a battery charger. My cell phone never dies.

Or, you know, anything else electrical.

[likeavirtue]

[ There's a small laugh. ]

That's one hell of a handy trick.


[ He gestures to his right leg again. ]

This thing, it's useless when it's half-charged. Even less so when it's down to its last ten percent.

What I wouldn't give to keep it charged indefinitely.

[ For one, it'd stop reminding him that his leg is a synthetic because his real one was blown off on a betrayal disguised as a botched mission. ]

[electro_kinetic]

[ She beckons him closer with an amused roll of her eyes, and gesture to his leg. ] You want me to take a look at it? I built these gauntlets, I might be able to improve your battery life. Or you can just come find me and let me feel you up when you need a charge, your call.

[ Nori doesn't say it as a come-on; it's just her humor, and it's brassy at best. ]



[ ooc: we so need to have them meet for real and have this conversation, y/y? ]

[likeavirtue]

[ That gets another laugh out of him.

Congrats, Nori. This never happens. Like, ever. ]

Let's stick with the first option. I'll - uh. Let you have a look at it next time. Improved battery life sounds promising.


[ ooc: YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES ]
