The Third Sunday

[pend]

The Midnight Texting Meme It's the middle of the night and you're trying to catch some z's — or brooding alone in the alleys, as one does — when your phone dings and suddenly a stranger or a friend is texting you. What could they possibly want at this hour? Is it important? Stupid? Are they drunk or maybe just needy? Do they need help hiding a body??? Pick up your phone and find out! Rules: ● Post with your character's name and canon on the subject line, indicate preferences as needed ● Tag others ● Have fun!

gusta el tebeos
the library is too big

[no_fun_allowed]

Tebeos...[Give him a moment, Scott's not familiar with that word. His spanish is somewhat limited.] Comic books, right? There's a comic shop in the mall too. We can check it out, see if you find anything you like.

See, I don't find that a problem. The bigger the library the more options it gives you. But I can see how it can be overwhelming.

[wildhorses]

por favor
what are your favorites

everything echoes

[no_fun_allowed]

We will go then. I didn't read much comic as a kid but I liked Hulk comics.

I does. Do you have enhanced hearing too?

[wildhorses]

hulk is silly
but that is fine

si
if i fight there it would not be as good

[no_fun_allowed]

But he's very strong, and Banner is really smart. Who's your favourite?

Please do not fight on the library, that's for study. And the professor has some antique an unique books that he would be sad to see ruined.

[wildhorses]

you know this

i do not want to. but i might have to

[no_fun_allowed]

It's good to have confirmation, I'm not fond of making assumption.

Why that? Has anyone been bothering you?

[wildhorses]

i guess so

not yet

[no_fun_allowed]

Unless someone's attacking us, arguments in the school shouldn't turn into fights.

If someone it's upsetting you, you could talk to me or some of the other teachers about it. I do know it's difficult for you not to engage when you feel threatened, though.

[wildhorses]

no
your students are smarter than to fight me

people will attack from outside

[no_fun_allowed]

I like to think that they are.

We had improved the security perimeter but yes, if that's happens then you are allowed to defend yourself as you see fit.

But could you maybe try to stop targets without using lethal force? Just leaving them unconscious or unable to move?

[wildhorses]

they will just come back

[no_fun_allowed]

The law will deal with them. Or we will, in our own way, if that's not an option.

You shouldn't have to kill, Laura.

[wildhorses]

have you killed peoples

[no_fun_allowed]

When there was no other way, yes I did. I'm not proud of it.

[wildhorses]

when did you start

[no_fun_allowed]

Killing or fighting? Fighting when I was sixteen, the rest a little later.

[wildhorses]

you started late
this is not my fault

[no_fun_allowed]

It's not a matter of age, Laura, nor it's anyone's fault.

When you kill someone, whether you realize it or not, it has an effect on the psyche. If often rewires the way we think and feel.

But you're not a weapon and you can search for your own identity, your own freedom. One that doesn't require these sacrifices from you.

[wildhorses]

it is not sacrifice
it is some thing i am good at
and it is some thing that makes people safe
it is not my fault it makes you sad
i am not like you

[no_fun_allowed]

[She really is related to Logan, isn't she? It takes Scott a few seconds to come up with a reply, he's a bit lost.]

You can be good at plenty of other things and protect people in a different way. You're smarter than most already.

And yes, it does make me sad but maybe not for the reasons you think.

Logan would say that's a good thing. You not being like me, I mean. He doesn't like me very much either.

[wildhorses]

why does it make you sad

logan is stupid

[no_fun_allowed]

Because I care for you. You deserve a better life than what you had, Laura.

That we can agree on.

[wildhorses]

i have one. i am here

he is VERY stupid
and mean
