I hate combat class.

Of course, Professor Logan will probably be happy about that, if he cares at all. He'd probably be happy if I hated him but I know better.

Everything's going wrong. The people who've been nicest to me.... Well....

About Jamie and Kitty: I don't care who knows it, I'd rather have dog food or silver bullets in my bed every night than be accused of trying to -- to -- to -- to seduce somebody in combat class! *turns very red* Well, I suppose that's what I get for trying at all. Back to waiting for him to stop hitting me, I suppose. And I've another session tonight, too.

And Everett, I'm really, truly sorry.

What?

What in the name of the spirits is going on?

You. After Jamie and Katherine. My office. You are not in trouble, but someone needs to sort through this mess these messes.

((OOC: I, er, hope whatever it was cleared by Bonnie, right? ... people seem to be doing an awful lot of sockpuppeting Logan, recently. Just ignore me if it was.))

[x-rahne.livejournal.com]

Professor Munroe, I --

I probably shouldn't have posted anything, only I thought it wouldn't matter, since the other students knew anyway.

Please, I'm very sorry, but I was hoping for a nap before I have to go back.

((OOC: It's on the mailing list, and Bonnie never replied there but I IMed her and she said she liked it but Logan would use harsher language than the way I described it in the suggestion. Cleared, honest.))

[x-storm.livejournal.com]

Nap. Then find me.

I will talk with Logan.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

That was a really awful thing for him to do, especially right when you did start doing what he wanted.

Assuming I'm still here, wanna kill a carton of ice cream after your session tonight?

[x-rahne.livejournal.com]

I --

*grits teeth* To be completely fair to Professor Logan, even if I would not be very good at it, I could have "attacked" in a way that might have been more likely to hurt somebody. Even without turning into a wolf. Which I couldn't. Of course I'd just have got tangled up anyway, if I could.

And I... I don't know. I'm not sure if I'll be able to eat. I'm afraid to try to eat dinner before the session, so it's hard to tell.

Maybe I'll just go to sleep as a wolf, if Marie doesn't mind. Or Marie-Ange, I might should say. She's my new roommate.

I'm a little worried though.

I sort of want to try to catch a rabbit.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

I don't think Bobby's tried rabbit-flavored ice cream yet. :)

If they haven't kicked me out by then, I'll be up in the little kitchen after dinner, if you change your mind.

[x-rahne.livejournal.com]

Ewwwwwwwwww....

Maybe I will come.

I hope you're still here. I can't believe you did that, but you've been nice to me all this time and ... well... it wasn't nice, but it wasn't quite like the things Professor Munroe compared it to....

I might come if I can do anything but sleep. She says I'm not in trouble, but she also says she's going to talk to Logan, so I don't know about tonight.

Maybe I do want to go home.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Hush you two. They're not going to kick any student out. Really.

Re:

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

I hope I'm still here too, but Ms. Munroe seemed really mad. I thought people would laugh, but I guess I should've thought of something that didn't mean going into his room. And maybe he is touchy about his wings, I dunno. I wouldn't be, that'd be a really cool power to have, but who knows what rich people think.

But you shouldn't go home. This seems like a really nice place, and you're a lot less likely to get in trouble than I am.

[x-rahne.livejournal.com]

who knows what rich people think.

The Lady Moira seems very nice -- she came to see us, after I had changed, and I think she might be the one who told Reverend Craig about the school. I don't know, though.

So does the professor.

I think I'm in trouble with Professor Logan....

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Well, there's a lot more going on than I thought there was, and I misjudged Warren pretty badly. I'm sure your Lady Moira is nice.

Marie is okay. Or Marie-Ange. Either one.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

You are a.. shapeshifter? Into just a wolf, or into other things too? That is much neater that my power, even if it just the wolf part.

You can sleep as a wolf if you want. I am not going to complain.

Re: Marie is okay. Or Marie-Ange. Either one.

[x-rahne.livejournal.com]

*smiles* Well, there' another Marie here, though she's also called Em sometimes, or Rogue. I'm certain we can keep track of the two of you either way.

I only turn into a wolf. At least, as far as I know. *blinks a little* I think making pictures real is fascinating, though. I used to wonder what drawings would look like from the other side. Being a wolf is... not very useful, really, at least not yet.

Re: Marie is okay. Or Marie-Ange. Either one.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Rogue? Like a thief? That is the right word, trig

I still have not yet figured out how I know what is on the other side of the picture! I guess when I draw it, I know, because its mine.

When it is a picture from someone else's drawing I can't explain it though.

Useful isn't everythnig. Making pictures real isn't useful, but it is fun. :)

Re: Marie is okay. Or Marie-Ange. Either one.

[x-rahne.livejournal.com]

Right word, yes.

And 'tis fun to watch, too.

[x-piotr.livejournal.com]

Hi Rahne, I know I have not really talked to you a lot yet but I am okay at the combat, so if you want help I would be happy to give you some.

[x-rahne.livejournal.com]

Thank you, but the problem is more that I don't want to do it at all....

[x-synch.livejournal.com]

It's not your fault at all. And I didn't think you were trying to seduce me or whatever Mr. Logan was talking about.

[x-rahne.livejournal.com]

Thank you. *looks grateful* And I saw that you stood up to him about it. I hope he isn't too bad to you after class Monday....

I saw your reply to Dr. Essex too. I think you're right. I'm not sure Professor Munroe is, entirely, because I think he had a point about this not exactly being for learning to be better people, but even if that's not the real purpose of being here, it's still important.

And we are still human, the powers don't change that, even if they affect us. I think he knows it, too, even if he doesn't think so. He tried to say the powers give us a different, not-human mindset, but then he went and compared them to differences in human abilities. I didn't like it, but I've read a story about doing exactly what he described to cripple differences in natural abilities, and I don't think it was written by a mutant. Not that Professor Munroe suggested suppressing them -- just that mutants would react to different kinds of abilities just as well or badly as everybody else seems to.

He seems to say we're somehow set apart, maybe above, by differences in what we can do, and at the same time criticise the idea of a society that does that.

Anyway... thank you.

I don't think I agree with Mme. Munroe.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

We aren't entirely a society build around abilities right now, and human beings all have different abilities now.

We don't distrust intelligent people all the time. We don't hate people who are in wheelchairs or who have glasses or who have six fingers.

I don't understand why being a mutant is any different from being able to draw, or run really fast. I really do not understand how we can be better humans and still have to learn to hit people either. I thought that better human meant that we weren't supposed to be violent. Like, Ghandi or .. Ghandi is the only person I can think of.

Re: I don't think I agree with Mme. Munroe.

[x-synch.livejournal.com]

It's not any different than being able to run fast. I don't know why people don't understand that.

Re: I don't think I agree with Mme. Munroe.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Because lots of people can run fast, but only one or two people can fly with wings maybe?

People, lots of people, even mutant people are not good with different. With people being different.

[x-rahne.livejournal.com]

People, lots of people, even mutant people are not good with different. With people being different.

I think that's the problem. Part of it. Actually, I think both of them might even agree that's the problem. Or a problem.

And I think Dr. Essex wants us to be more different than we are or should be, and care more about it.

[x-synch.livejournal.com]

I guess that's what kind of bugged me about what Mr. Essex said. We can do all these things, but that doesn't make us better than people. I'm a mutant, but that doesn't make me a good artist or a good scientist. Being able to fly or to turn into an ice cube is the same as being able to draw or being able to figure out what Albert Einstein was talking about. If we don't have to learn how to be good people then that means we're better than everybody. I think that's just as wrong as the non-mutants who think they're better than mutants.

Do you want to try some of the really big roller coasters with Jamie, Kitty and I? You can watch me scream a lot and try to get off when we're upside-down.

And you're really welcome.

[x-rahne.livejournal.com]

I think you're right. And sometimes it sounds as if Dr. Essex doesn't care about being good people -- and then he'll talk about bad things that really are bad. I'm not sure I see what he wants at all.

Do you want to try some of the really big roller coasters with Jamie, Kitty and I? You can watch me scream a lot and try to get off when we're upside-down.

*blinks* I've never been on a roller coaster before -- is that safe? (Or fun...?) But I suppose if all of you have, and want to go, then there must be some good points. :) Thank you, I will.

Everything's going wrong

But don't worry, it'll all get better soon. :) Things happen fast around here.

And I dunno, really, but I don't think you're in trouble. You're new and it was your first time and stuff, so. Allowances'll prob'ly be made.

[x-rahne.livejournal.com]

I've been in the whole combat class. All three days. I don't want to fight, I don't want to hurt people, and I think that having extra sessions with Professor Logan because I'm not trying to counts as being in trouble. Or at least, 'tis enough trouble for me.

But thanks.
