[color=cc33ff]"One, why would I want to go to [i]Texas[/i]? It's one of the anti-mutant hotspots in the United States. And two, it's [i]always[/i] going to be hotter somewhere, so I don't really care if this isn't hot by Texas standards?"[/color] she said a bit bluntly. She never liked the entire [i]oh X isn't bad, you should see Y![/i] It basically just invalidated people's experiences. It was like saying [i]you can't be sad, someone else out there has it worse than you[/i]. If Guin felt like it was hot, then it was hot - period. She wasn't going to write a scientific article about how hot it was, so she didn't need to slap a qualifier on there. Bethany then [i]blipped[/i] in out of nowhere and Guin blinked a bit. That was a bit hard to get used to. Her skin paled slightly though as Beth explained her sudden appearance - [i]Loki[/i]. Scenes from the news footage of the Battle of New York flashed through her mind. Her father had gone up through a wormhole and he almost hadn't made it out the other side - he almost died. That had been a little over nine years ago - she had just been a little kid, but the scar of almost losing her father had contributed greatly to her teen angst and drug abuse. [color=cc33ff]"The son of a bitch is here for me,"[/color] Guin explained. [color=cc33ff]"He's taking revenge on my dad for the Battle of New York. What a fucking ass... But whatever. If there's one thing I know about that bastard, it's that the [i]L[/i] in Loki is for [i]Loser[/i]."[/color][hr][hr][center][h3][color=12ABB0][b]Neil Spellman[/b][/color][/h3][img]https://i.postimg.cc/3RnqLcdD/image.png[/img][hr][hr][b][color=12ABB0]Location:[/color][/b] Xavier's Institute - Neil's Room [b][color=12ABB0]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A [hr][/center] Neil laughed slightly at Carolina's offer. He wasn't a super uptight, optimistic, positive, and idealistic person - the sort that would have gasped and protested at that thought. No, if Neil's heart still wasn't tender towards Sara, he probably would have asked Carolina if her sister also doubled as an assassin in her spare time. [color=12ABB0]"That sounds nice,"[/color] he told her. [color=12ABB0]"But I feel like your sister probably wouldn't lock her up there... which sucks."[/color] Though it wasn't like he saw Sara around now anyways, so he could very well just imagine Sara was locked up at the Raft. He tilted his head slightly as Carolina mentioned her girlfriend. [color=12ABB0]"Y-you have a girlfriend?"[/color] he asked, his heart wincing - it was hard to see people in love and in relationships at the moment for him. [color=12ABB0]"Th-that's cool. I didn't know. Umm... Sure. I found one online that I printed off, but I could use help drawing out maps and character images for it... I think it's more fun that way if they're hand drawn and real looking..."[/color] He didn't really know if that was something Carolina would be interested in doing. Some people just used a battle map and called it good, but Neil loved being able to draw the scenery or little snapshots of the places they were at - pictures were worth more than a thousand words.
