[It takes him all day to muster himself out of his bed to make this post in the dormitory levels. Had he not been slammed with a message about his new "job", he would have kindly stayed in his room for a day or two just to... he wasn't even sure what the right word was. He didn't need to relax. He needed to detox. His journey home had been short, but he hoped and prayed it was just a dream. Only a dream, please just let it be that. But he'd seen the barren landscape, inhaled the putrid, acidic smell of miasma leaking out of every crack and crevice, seas of purple mud and poison all that remained of his world.

Of course he wanted it to be a dream.

Two questions. Feel free to answer or not.

First: How many of you have been back home? As in: how many have returned to what used to be their home, only to come back? What did you see, and did it... feel real?

[...]

Second: What are we left with if the worlds we all know are really gone? Is it just us, this Tower, countless years and a few grim expectations?

I really am starting to wonder.

You seem to be functioning pretty fine, despite that. But do ou think some would still consider you a mutant for something like that? Or is there a higher distinction than just poor development?

The powers that we have. Every mutant I've met, myself included, has an ability of some kind.

[Well, there goes the elephant in the room. So she was a mutant, then.]

I remember you mentioning that before... Sorry, ~~I wasn't aware you were--~~

...

Annyways. What kind of abilities do you mean?

It's fine. And my abilities are generating and controlling electricity and controlling electronics. So it makes tech work really easy.

[Did you just say tech hell yes you just said tech

Although Guy isn't as familiar with electricity, but he knows at least how it acts as a power source.]

So it's like being a walking power supply, sort of. That doesn't sound horrible at all. Especially given your world's circumstances

If it's not too strange, I'd love to see some of the work you do sometime.

Yeah, and it means that helping to get power and communications running again in the old cities is easier too.

Of course, I would be happy to show you! [Yep she's pretty damn happy to meet another tech fan.]

Excellent!

I'll have to give it a few days, but you can find me in the workshop a lot working on things. Why not meet up there and see what you can do~

Sounds like a plan! I'll do my best not to disappoint.

[Though she's pretty damn confident in her tech skills, both with and without using her power.]

Of course. I'm sure you'll do wonderfully.

Thank you! I pride myself on being an expert with tech even without using my powers, so I'm gonna make sure I live up to that.
