[Draco Malfoy has absolutely no reason to be outside right now. His hands are both still cut up pretty badly, he's fighting off a cold, and to top things off…

…well. He lost Jade Harley. Sort of. Jade sort of lost herself by leaving her bracelet on his bathroom counter. So today Draco's out and flying around the city of Asgard, Jade's bracelet in his pocket and bundled up against the cold. It's only when he's outside of his room that he really notices all of the lights going off in the city, twinkling against the darkness. He stops long enough to examine a few displays of light, raising an eyebrow.

It really must be close to Christmas then. Fantastic. Just one more thing to remind him of things he doesn't want to think about. Christmas reminds him of home, and lights remind him of a certain girl with long blond hair that he can't seem to stop thinking about. Ridiculous. After a few hours of flying back and forth hoping for some sign of Jade, anything that might indicate she's around, he gives up and lands to head into the Great Library if only for a distraction and maybe to pick up a few books to help with his current research for potions.

…and thus he finds himself curled up in a chair fifteen minutes later, trying to warm up and staring at a book in his hands. It's a small book, worn out and old in appearance. It's also a book he most certainly wasn't expecting to find here in Asgard, but then again it made sense. Why wouldn't the gods pull things from their own worlds to entertain them? When he turns on the bracelet's video feed, he's casually flipping through the book, reading and mumbling to himself. He's holding the book gingerly as though it's hard to bend his hands around it, but his eyes are narrowed in concentration.]


Babbity Rabbitty will never not be a strange name, and that's saying something [Flip. Flip. Flip.]

Granted, this shouldn't be a surprise. [And he looks up then, facing the camera.]

Here's a new question for anyone awake, something a bit lighter than the last. [Which he's still pondering on, thank you. His wall of notes may be folded up and in a box under his bed, but he still references them quite a bit.]

With the lights all around the city and with the discovery of this book--[He lifts it up, revealing the title to be the Tales of Beedle the Bard]--do you believe that something as simplistic as a fairy tale can actually have some truth behind it? Or, in other words, what determines if they're made up or if they're based on real people and real events?

And before anyone asks, no, there's no motive behind this question. Just genuine curiosity. [Which as we all know is the biggest lie of them all.]

You use it. How many of you are there, anyway, that you have enough time to worry about a class system? We're too busy trying to survive.

That's your own stupidity, so don't act like it's my fault. Mutants are constantly at war with humans, because they want to exterminate us; we don't pick petty fights over who's the better mutant and call it a war.

[He's carefully glossing over the X-Men vs. Brotherhood internal squabbling, but really. It's better than a fight over blood purity.]

Yeah, mutants. Is that gonna be a problem?

What does it look like? Humans, genius. We're the next step in human evolution. That's why they hate us so much, because we've surpassed them and there's nothing they can do about it.

There are lots of different abilities. Telepathy, telekinesis, phasing, shapeshifting, teleportation... it all depends.

I'm a pyrokinetic.

Some higher-levels have more than one. One of the teachers at the school I went to was a telepathic telekinetic. It's not common, though.

I'd be happy to show you, if I still had it. I could blow you through a wall and roast you before you even knew what happened.

Counter? You don't counter mutant abilities. You get the fuck out of the way or you get flattened.

Wizard. [He snorts.] We have witches, so of course we must have wizards.

Yeah, it's pretty fucking hysterical. Sometimes I wonder if this place isn't a front for some kind of lunatic asylum and I got brought here by mistake.

Yeah, something with a totally scientific basis and proven precedent can definitely be compared to magic.

You don't know much about science, do you? Mutation is a natural part of evolution. Or are you wizards Creationists?
