[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.]

They've spent too long on top of the food chain, that's their problem. Fat and lazy. It's about time someone shook things up for them.

[He leans forward a little, curious.] How many of you are there? Enough to put a dent in their armour?

Oh, definitely, I'm with you there.

[A slight frown.] There's a lot of us, actually, but...around half of us side with the humans. Which is just asking for an idiotic end, if you ask me. I mean, those who think otherwise, like me, we're not too shabby when it comes to amount, but humans have the advantage of being absolutely insane when they get into mobs.

But that doesn't mean we can't try, you know.

Whoa, touchy. No need to get defensive. We've got our idiots, too - the ones who want to want to talk it out with the humans, come to some kind of agreement. As if they'll ever listen.

It doesn't mean you stop fighting. It means you fight harder. And if your own kind get in your way, you do what has to be done. [A challenging, rather unhinged look.] Right?

Hey, sorry, just remembering what they've done is just pretty stupid, because humans will only see them as means to an end. They won't see them as friends. Which is why I agree with you on the whole "let's talk it out" thing. It never works.

[There's a pause, and then he grins widely, though it isn't a very nice one. It's one thing to have your own kind betray you to work for the side you hate, but it's quite another if they actually aim to do that and try to actively kill you at the same time.]

[Unloyal subjects get what they deserve, in Nick's opinion.]

Right. They made their choice, let them see the consequences of that. No time to sit back and wonder what moral choice you have when the whole world is dogging at your heels.

[All of a sudden, Pyro looks relaxed, almost comfortable. It's like this guy is reading from a manual personally written by himself about being non-human and how to deal with it. He's mouthy, but he's almost as good as a fellow mutant.]

We could use a lot more like you in our ranks. Way too much so-called "morality" flying around right now, when the people who are after us clearly don't give a shit about it. They all need a taste of their own medicine.

Haha, what most people don't realize is that they always need someone like me. Someone who can say the brutal truth and not care about everyone else being too "worried" or "concerned" about it.

And yes, hit them with their own weapons, so to speak- if they don't care about what they do, why should I?
