[1st arson | video]

[That's a very ill-tempered expression this new arrival is wearing. He's got a zippo lighter in one hand, and he glares down at the dancing flame for a moment before looking back up at the camera.]

You know what's bullshit, Asgard?

[He holds his hand over the flame just long enough to leave an ugly welt, then shows his palm to the camera; although the process is slow, the blistered red skin is visibly starting to heal.]

This, right here, is bullshit. I'm not Logan. Who the hell would want to be Logan. My name is Pyro, because I manipulate fire. I don't care who these "gods" are, or what they want, or why they did it - you don't mess with a mutant's ability. Give me back what's rightfully mine, what I was born with, and maybe there won't be any trouble.

[Totally unaware that he's just made the least original first post ever, he ends his side of the feed and waits for responses.]

And yet it has no power coming from the girl who put her life on the line because she thought that maybe giants wanted to kill all of existence.

I don't think, I know.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Now you're changing your stories on me. Is that compulsive thing, or...?

Re: [Audio]

[occulthymns]

It's - it's complicated! Ask someone else!

[Audio]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

You really need to relax, you know that? If you're so cozy in this city and so sure that nothing can change, why should anything I say get to you?

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

[Someone is on the verge of being observant!]

... I don't want to talk about this.

[Audio]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

So don't talk to me next time. That simple.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

I won't, because you're a completely insufferable bastard who can't even be a little bit nice!

[Audio]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

"Nice" is pointless. I'll respect someone, if they deserve it.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

Yeah, right. You may say that, but you're just an asshole.

[Audio]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

I've tried to tell you this before, but maybe this time it'll get through. You know exactly nothing about me. Maybe if you hadn't been trying to order me around from the second we met, I might've been more pleasant. As it is, I really don't give a shit what you think about me.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

I - I haven't been ordering you around! That's ridiculous!

[Audio]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Really? You're one of the single most pushy people I've ever met, and I went to Xavier's. Try dialing it back a little next time, see where it gets you.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

I don't even know what that means!

[Audio]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Stop shouting, for one. Especially at random people just sitting on park benches. We can work our way up to not ordering people around.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

I - !

[She abruptly cuts herself off, then resumes in a quieter tone.]

I'm not yelling.

[Audio]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Better. See? It's not that hard not to be so obnoxious that people feel the need to irritate you just because you're there.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

[She is stewing. STEWING.]

Shut up.

[Audio]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

You're never gonna get that I have no reason at all to do what you say, are you?

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

I'm not - [She cuts herself off, making a frustrated noise.]

You're obnoxious too, you know.

[Audio]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

I'll consider that when it comes from someone less easily annoyed.

audio

[occulthymns]

Just because I am doesn't mean I'm wrong right now.

audio

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Yeah, I know what buttons to push. I know how to get people riled up. But at least I do it with a purpose, not because I'm some jumped-up midget.

Re: audio

[occulthymns]

[She's twitching.]

And what does calling me a midget accomplish?

audio

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Takes you down a peg or two. After long enough, I figure maybe you won't walk around like you own the place, giving people shit for existing in your city.
