[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.]

Hey, I know a girl named "Rogue." Oswin's not the sexiest name I've ever heard, but I'd say you bring enough of that to make up for it.

[eggsterminate]

Rogue is pretty sexy, mysterious.

Oswin is geeky, but I'm glad you think I emulate the "sexy geek" persona.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Trust me, she doesn't live up to it. The biggest mystery around her is how her boyfriend puts up with her.

[Oh, so much bitter behind that cruel smile.]

Smart and sexy, huh? A lesser man would be intimidated.

[eggsterminate]

Too bad.

[She's catching onto that bitterness and is storing it in her brain.]

Oh well, don't worry, I'm an equal opportunity flirt.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

So I'm just one in a long line, huh? That hurts.

[He can barely stifle a laugh. He likes this girl already.]

[eggsterminate]

We've only just met. Maybe if you impress me you can jump the queue.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Impress you, huh? Well, without my usual tools handy, I'll just have to improvise. Regeneration isn't exactly as flashy as what I'm used to.

[eggsterminate]

Can't wait to see what you come up with.

[But her smile is friendly, clearly she's just having a go at him]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

So, Oswin. Why don't we start out with you impressing me. I've heard of witches, trolls, alien bugs... what've you got to set your world apart?

[eggsterminate]

I'm from the year 2325 and I worked on a spaceship.

Which technically isn't that impressive from my standpoint. Other people tend to goggle at it though.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[He arches his eyebrows in consideration.] Not bad. If I hadn't already heard about the time travel shit happening around here, I might be more shocked. But that actually sounds plausible, at least.

[eggsterminate]

Not impressive, just plausible.

Suppose I'll need to work a bit harder to impress you.

Hey, alien termites. The bar got set pretty high on my first day here.
