[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.]

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.

audio

[occulthymns]

It isn't my city! Do you really think I want to be here??

audio

[ex_outofcontrol435]

So keep fighting. It's that simple. If I can whip a little fight into you, that'll just be a bonus.

audio

[occulthymns]

Kind of hard to fight a bunch of people who can take everything away from you when your entire world is already on the line.

audio

[ex_outofcontrol435]

It's hard, so it's not worth it? That's pathetic. At least try to be worth my time.

audio

[occulthymns]

I didn't say that! I mean fighting them might be impossible, and beating them means having no home to go back to!

audio

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Haven't they already fooled you into one war that did nothing? Why are you still believing them?

audio

[occulthymns]

... I've got good reasons.

[Namely Kaz and Vanitas and what they tried to do when on Thiazi's side.]

audio

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Of course you do. You're too scared by the threat to bother finding out whether or not it's really true. Perfectly good reason.

audio

[occulthymns]

[A little tightly.]

That isn't it at all, so don't act like it is.

audio

[ex_outofcontrol435]

How would I know that? I'm not psychic, I'm pyrokinetic. You don't get to be vague and pissed off that people don't know the truth, it's kind of a one or the other thing.

audio

[occulthymns]

Then I'm picking the former.

audio

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Fine. And I'll believe what I want about you, since I have no evidence otherwise.

: audio

[occulthymns]

Then I'm going to do the same about you.
