So, uh. Some of you who frequent the eighth floor common room might have noticed. An extremely geometrical tree where your coffee table used to be.

I can fix that. I mean, I'm going to. Fix that. Unless you guys like it? I mean. Whatever. It's not my floor. Let me know.

[There's a long period of silence. Okay, it's only like ten seconds, but that feels like a lot.]

So. That. Happened.



[Private to Elsa]

...have fun?



[Private to Rogue]

A while back you offered to help people work with their powers. Is that still a thing?



[Private to Helena]

You, uh. Don't have to respond to this at all if you aren't comfortable, or anything. But if there's anything you want to ask me, I'll try my best to answer. And I won't be mad or anything.

Good.

What can you do? How much?

[orderfromchaos]

Heal. Bring back the dead. Shatter minds. I could break the world, but I don't know if I can save it.

Lots of things. Too much, most of the time.

[adelphoktonos]

[orderfromchaos]

I think I'm supposed to protect people.

Not from like - suffering. That's life. But there's a thing. There are things that eat souls, and even I can't bring them back. I got rid of one but more are coming.

[He's scared. But he's doing the thing young soldiers do, when they are boys but not children, with a high jaw and hard eyes.]
