They're really terrifying.

     [ opens her mouth to argue; she doesn’t need pain relief, she could take much more… but she decides against it and just nods ]

[itscalledcautious]

[ slowly hugs her. ] 

Do you feel it working? [ i do. ] 

[convxlsing-deactivated20160115]

Well, let’s see then!

I’m Goddie— Um, can the Nomads come with us? They look like they want to, but they’re shy and not that good at socializing.

[ The three shapeless cloaked figures are all floating behind him. ]

[ our father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done please save me... ]

[ it takes a while for him to speak, mainly because he's trying to process what the hell is going on and why he's in a horror movie, but his words are still really polite ] 

I can't imagine why not. The m-more, the merrier, right?

[convxlsing-deactivated20160115]

Uhm, no, not yet!

You’re Darrius, right?

[itscalledcautious]

Well, right this way then. The tour should be a prerequisite, and I give fantastic ones, if I say so myself. The other aid, Rebecca, is not as good.

And, ah, yes, that's me. [ they know my name i'm going to die in my sleep help me ] What's your name?

[howbrightyouburnarchive-blog]

     Are you offering me a hug for a… biochemical hit?

     [ there’s amusement in her eyes, but it hasnt reached her lips… yet. ]

[itscalledcautious]

Hugs release oxytocin, which acts a pain reliever.

It's worth a shot, right?

[ don't look scared, don't look scared, don't look--too late. ]

So... have you taken the, uh, s-school tour yet? 

[mayday--parker]

It’s no point I wanna think about.

[ You honestly didn’t find it that comforting either! ]

[itscalledcautious]

Neither do I.

Where was I? Oh, yes, annually, we do host a football game against the Jean Grey School and we win, most of the time.

     [ she stretches her fingers and as she does, her claws retract. ]

     [ rubs her arm with her hand before looking up and giving a small, still unsure nod ]

[itscalledcautious]

T-That's good. [ slowly, very slowly sits next to her ] 

Do you, uh...need-- want a hug? Those are supposed to be calming. They release oxytocin and dopamine, in any case.

[howbrightyouburnarchive-blog]

     [ she’s angry. her fingers are shaking, dripping with blood that runs down her claws. its all over her arms, even going up to dot her face with red. it’s done now. ]

[itscalledcautious]

[ i should run really fast right now. i mean, she looks like she's not in the mood for anything, and i could really be anywhere else and not in immediate danger.

despite himself, he's just standing there, shivering. he can't run from her. ] 

L-Laura. Are, uh, y'know, are you o-okay? [ please don't get madder. ]

Welcome to the Avengers Academy. Are you a prospective student?

[ maybe fear is easy to smell, but it only lasts a passing second ] 

Welcome to the Avengers Academy. Can I interest you in the tour, Dr. McCoy?

[mayday--parker]

[ Your memory wracks your brain for the word, but if it’s stuff with military, it can’t be good. ]

They kill people?

[ Shock’s not even hidden on your tone. Who goes out to kill people and can call themselves under the name of X-Men or heroes? ]

[itscalledcautious]

No, no, I don't think they do, as a general rule. But they can, is the point I was trying to make.

[howbrightyouburnarchive-blog]

     [ just smiles for a while, pretty much dumbfounded ]

                   I had to ask for help but I am glad you like it…               I may have to ask… I am not so sure of what you said…

[itscalledcautious]

I think you look absolutely beautiful. 

[fixmedont]

      Man who runs this school? I need to ask him something.

[ He’s not sure on the pronunciation of “Pym”, given how Y is a weird letter, so he opts not to try. ]

[itscalledcautious]

His lab. I can take you there, if you'd like.

[forces-of-dante-blog]

Now, I want you to understand… I’m here to help you. It’s like good cop bad cop, ya see. If you’re rude to me… there’s two, count ‘em two, ways it could go.

Either I can get a tour… Or I could guarantee it.

Tell me… what’s your opinion on getting your brain picked?

[itscalledcautious]

Would you look at that, it's time for class. I had planned on skipping but I think I can make an exception. There'll be a replacement tour guide soon, she'll fill in and then you can bother her.

For now, I'm going to have to ask you not to loiter around at least until she gets here.

[howbrightyouburnarchive-blog]

     [ a little smile pulls at her lips while she’s silent for a moment ] …Really?

          My next question was going to be about whether I looked alright… I suppose I do not need to ask that.

[itscalledcautious]

Well, you can, I don't mind repeating it. 

[noworldnomad]

Uh. No. Thinking about maybe signing up for a couple of day classes, but really I’m just visiting.

[itscalledcautious]

Would you like a tour then?
