[Filtered to INMATES, excluding Wanda and Arthas]

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. :|]

Comments

[Private]

[sixthanimorph]

Yeah. [He's not sure what to make of that weird half-smirk and the man's inexplicable lack of surprise. It's a little frustrating, because clearly he was expecting him to be more impressed. His hand shifts back to normal again and he lowers it.]

Anybody I can touch. Any human, any animal. If it's got DNA, I can become it.

[Private]

[wecanavenge]

[Not as immediate as Raven, then, but useful all the same. He lets himself smile.] That's quite the talent you have. I wasn't nearly as in control of my mutation at your age.

[A bit of a lie, but he doesn't see the harm. He lifts his hand, both in view, and the device floats up on its own, hovering in the air in front of him instead of propped up on the desk. He has gifts, too.]

[Private]

[sixthanimorph]

[He watches this display, his eyes widening first in shock and then, realization.] ... Whoa.

How are you doing it? Are you some kind of psychic? [His power's useful, yeah, but that's the kind of ability he'd cut off a hand for. A part of him notes the use of the word 'mutation' and files it away - he doesn't contradict him, even if he's not a true mutant. He can think he is if he wants to.]

[Private]

[wecanavenge]

[A thoughtful look crosses Erik's face for just a moment. He's always used movements of some kind, whether its his hands or his eyes, and he wonders if the mutation is fully mental. He should probably experiment with that. Then it's gone, and he's focused on the question again.]

There's enough metal in it that I can move it. I control magnetism. [It felt good to say. This is what he does, it's who he is.]

[Private]

[sixthanimorph]

[David whistles, clearly impressed. Magnetism. Now that's a power with some uses to it. And this guy's still got his powers, too. That'll only last until he gets paired, but until that happens...]

How much can you control? Enough to destroy this ship? [His first thought, of course, is brute force. It's what he would do.]

[Private]

[wecanavenge]

[Erik's hand clenches and the video trembles for a moment before steadying when he exhales. He's so, so angry about this, but he doesn't want to fly off the handle here.]

Not with them dampened like this. [He could have, though, and he WOULD have, and maybe that's the plan he should be nursing right now.]

[Private]

[sixthanimorph]

[David watches calmly, perhaps even admiringly. He knows that anger. He lives with it every day. For Erik to feel it, in his mind, proves only that he's sane - sane, and a kindred spirit.]

It's the same way with me. I can only hold a morph for maybe ten minutes now. And my warden's locked me down from morphing into people. [There's a sarcastic little twist to his words at the words 'my warden' - Tim's the best of a bad lot, but he still thinks he can lord it over him, just like the rest of them.]

[Private]

[wecanavenge]

[Erik let's the corner of his mouth quirk up, nodding.] Out of fear for what you can do. It's disgusting.

They thought to wipe us out, where I come from. I wouldn't let them then. [And he won't tolerate it now.]

[Private]

[sixthanimorph]

They don't wanna wipe us out here. They just want to break us. Make us be who they want us to be. [David's voice fairly drips with contempt.]

You've got an advantage, being unpaired. Once you get a warden, whoever it is, they'll control your every move.

[Private]

[wecanavenge]

And how are they going to do that? [He will kill whoever it is. Okay maybe not, BUT HARM WILL BE DONE he doesn't care to be controlled by anyone. :|]

[Private]

[sixthanimorph]

They control our powers. They can flick them on and off any time they want, as long as they've got their little communicators. They wear you down, that's how this place works. You think you can take it and then they wear you down with floods and ports and so much insane shit you start to wonder if anything's even real anymore. [And that's a surprisingly frank admission from him, he doesn't really talk about how all the ports and floods get to him. Even though they do.]
