Hello, Travellers. I could use some help, and I've got a few things to offer.

1.) I've been making some salves and ointments in my free time. I have ones for muscle pain, burns, and one that's a mild antibacterial for use on small cuts. If anyone is interested in them, I'd be willing to sell them for a small price. Any medics or people in Sigyn with growth who would be willing to grow me some plants would get a discount.

2.) Speaking of medics, if there are any interested in learning self-defense techniques specifically geared towards medics, please let me know. I would be happy to pass on my skills.

3.) I'm looking for a job. I'd like it if I could find one that would use my medical skills, but if that's impossible I've also got experience helping in an office.

4.) What would you say are the good points about living in the district you do? What are the not so good things?

I've got stuff for you guys. If you hurt yourselves, I expect you to use it.

That's really interesting. I wonder how it works, genetics-wise.

But if it's a new thing in your world, I'm guessing that you don't really have an answer to that, do you?

[filtered]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

New in terms of evolution's usual speed, yeah. But like I said, the gene's recessive, and there's not enough of us out there yet for mutant couples to be catching up. So it looks random because two humans with the potential for a mutant kid only happen so often.

[filtered]

[hyakugo]

That's really pretty incredible.

[filtered]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Only part of science I ever paid attention to. But when you're a living jump in evolution, that's mostly what you learn about at mutant school anyway. That and handling your mutation.

[filtered]

[hyakugo]

What's your mutation?

[filtered]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Pyrokinesis. I pretty much own fire.

[filtered]

[hyakugo]

That explains the name.

[filtered]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Yeah. We all take on our own names. Like a rite of passage.

Just a codename for some people, but most of us consider it our real name.

[filtered]

[hyakugo]

That's pretty cool.

[filtered]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

What, ninjas don't get secret names or anything? I thought they were all about stealth.

[filtered]

[hyakugo]

If someone's going under cover they'll use a fake name, but that's a little different.

[filtered]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Yeah. This is about identity.

At least you get it. Most people either get cute about it or call me John no matter what the hell I say.

[filtered]

[hyakugo]

So most people are insensitive jerks?

[filtered]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

I'd say assholes, but yeah, that's been my findings in both worlds summed up pretty well.

Sakura mean anything? I never heard it back home.

[filtered]

[hyakugo]

Don't laugh. It means cherry blossom.

[filtered]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

What's funny about that? There was a girl at Xavier's named Jubilation. Not her mutant name, her human name. A flower's nothing compared to that.

[filtered]

[hyakugo]

My hair is the same color as cherry blossoms. And my surname means spring field.

Re: [filtered]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

... okay, getting funnier.

[filtered]

[hyakugo]

I thought I said not to laugh.

[filtered]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Don't give me the details next time!

But you didn't question Pyro, so I'm cool with Sakura Springfield.

[filtered]

[hyakugo]

It's Haruno, not Springfield. Haruno Sakura.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Why backwards? I've heard a few people do that.

[Forgive him. He's not exactly cultured.]

[filtered]

[hyakugo]

It's not backwards, that's how everyone does it in my world. Family and clan names are important.

[filtered]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Weird. We even call them first names.

Not that it matters to most mutants once we've got our own names. So basically the opposite.

[filtered]

[hyakugo]

Interesting. Clans, family, and village associations are a big deal where I come from. I admittedly don't know the ins and outs of shinobi clans but I have friends from a few of them.
