Some of you have been here for years. I want to know what you've learned. [He's testing the waters here, putting out feelers. Who's into this redemption line they're spoon feeding us, and who's willing to fight for their freedom. Just not in so many words.] Have you allowed them to try and change you? Do you believe everything they've promised?

[Private to Arthas]

I'm told you hate this ship and everything it claims to stand for. Was I misinformed?

[Private to Ivy]

I think it's time we find out just who sees reason among us. [A pause, and an afterthought:] It would be prudent of you to avoid a man named Charles Xavier.

[Private to Charles]

Pyro. [What is up with this future kid mutants knowing us thing. :|]

No personal promises have been made toward my person that I can recall, but the general promises?

They don't interest me. I did not die, regardless of what these people try to tell me, so I can hardly see how a return from death could yet benefit me. There are some properly termed 'graduates' who still remain, and perhaps they might be better equipped to elucidate. Particularly with regard to 'change'.

Have I allowed them to try to change me? Certainly. But the key word there is "try", is it not? [A chuckle] As if they could!

Do I believe what they are telling me? Well, I'm certain a good many of them believe what they are saying.

Those 'graduates' have already accepted their brainwashing. Their opinions will be weighed accordingly.

What do you believe?

Filter

[tatty_bye]

Oh, it's not brainwashing. Not generally. I've seen that in action.

I believe they do not know me very well.

Filter

[wecanavenge]

Do you want them to?

Filter

[tatty_bye]

Oh, they'll figure it out soon enough.

In the meantime, this has been a holiday both relished and needed.

[What are you planning :|]

What's your name?

Filter

[tatty_bye]

Reaver. And you are Erik -- you'll have to forgive me; your surname sounded rather unusual and exotic when you introduced yourself over the network before. It's gone and slipped my mind.

Filter

[wecanavenge]

Lensherr, but Erik will do. [For now. Until he decides how he feels about names. But he's amused by Reaver's.]

And does your name suit you?

Filter

[tatty_bye]

It caught on when my combat techniques were decidedly less...refined. Generally most would tell you I'm a practical pussycat.

Filter

[wecanavenge]

I'm sure. [He's wary, but faintly amused despite himself.] Would you agree with them?

Filter

[tatty_bye]

When the mood strikes me.

Filter

[wecanavenge]

[Wild card, that's what Erik's deciding.] Man of many moods, hm?

Filter

[tatty_bye]

I should think it might be more bizarre to encounter a man of one single mood than many.

[wecanavenge]

You may be surprised.
