[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.]

Okay, you're losing me here. There are people who can use shadows to attack? And who's Thiazi?

[samantha_grey]

Only know her by rep and the fact that she shot the dragon out of the sky with some sort of frosty whatever. I think she's the giant in charge of the frost side. Surt's in charge of the fire side. And yeah, there's two tricks people from each house can get. We all get one.

Hel's house are either like me, body controllers, or they make the shadows do what they want and turn them into things for a short time.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

At least some people were lucky enough to get offensive powers, even if they're still god-given shit. I get to heal at people.

[samantha_grey]

There is some magic besides that. Mostly potions and runes to enchant items. We're still working on other weapons. I don't like relying on someone else's good graces, and I really don't like being without magic.

[He thinks about that for a moment, then glances back at her with an almost friendly expression.]

Well, you've given me some information that could be helpful. You've also given me a lot of names, but not yours.

[samantha_grey]

yeah, guess I didn't. Old habits. Samantha Grey. Lots of folks just call me Sam, assuming they're not the sort to spit instead of talk about me. I've got a few of those.

It's my sunny disposition, or the demon crap. You pick.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Nothing wrong with making enemies if they're of no use to you anyway. [Mildly.] Can I assume we're past the obnoxious nicknames phase now and you'll actually use my real name?

[samantha_grey]

No promises. I like obnoxious nicknames. But don't worry, Pyro. I can keep them to a minimum.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Yeah, that'd be appreciated.

[Another one who didn't mention the name appended to the post itself. That's also appreciated.]

[samantha_grey]

[She actually never looked at that. She preferred to use the names people gave and some snark when she was poking fun.]

Alright then, see ya around.
