I've been reading some of the others' ways to cope with people gunning them down. Is this the intended power level? I've had something much weaker in mind - but if all is well I will adjust.

I wonder if this place would ever run a proper Play By Post with dice rolls and whatnot.

The average life expectancy of RPs here leave something to be desired.

Ah yes, looking up words in Google Translate. Used an actual paperback dictionary back in the day, but still - looks like I'm back in the saddle.

So are there any staff people in the hallways? Anyone walking around? Any strange noises?

"Fix it." The physicist was in an odd mood, ignoring the teleport girl completely. "There is as much to fix here as a shark's ability to swim. No, this is evolution."
He looked at his hands, then closed them into fists with slow determination. "I doubt this is just biology. The world has a new dimension now, a new variable. And once we find a way to measure it, we will master it, as we did with the rest of them."
He was elated. His body felt as if some huge untapped energy was flowing through it. "The USF has money and manpower on their side. And we, we have the element of surprise."

@Knight of Doom, So your power is limited by bodily weakness? I may know someone who can help. Mwahahaha.
Chris put his hands in his pockets while looking the group over. He was glad he shared his thoughts, because the group relations they were setting up now would be crucial in case of emergency. He was glad Ryan was ready to listen, without brushing off the group (or worse - treating them like a threat). Edith would do a good job being the leader, since her crankiness seemed to just add to her feeling of responsibility. And Renat was an untapped potential - taking the world and this situation with innocent eyes. He was now a model system of mutant existence itself.
"Call me Chris" he said to Renat, then looked at the group in general. "Since last week, I was in the USF anomaly testing division, particularly in charge of experimenting upon and cataloguing of all anomalous residents of the holding facility we just teleported out of." His monotonous voice had an air of professional authority about it. "Once instructions came to make the measurements destructive, a step I expected but hoped would happen later, I have unofficially sided with the subjects of the experiments and USF's directive in general. That is to say, you. I have now made this official."
He took his hands out of his pockets and combined their fingers in front of him. "I thus choose to be useful to you. The reason I was so eager to join the USF is because I too am one of their targets. And also, ironically, am perfect for this job." He spread his fingers. "Since roughly a month ago, my body is an open book to me. Since a week ago, so is anyone else's. Well, except you, maybe." He gestured at Ryan, "We will check later. Know that I can see anything that's broken within your bodies. I also enjoy long walks on the beach and talking extensively about myself."

@Peaceless I respect that. But it is harder to undo things in the IC. So if you don't want to pairing it would be better to come up with another idea here.
I didn't say I don't want to. I'm saying I refuse to respond to it out-of-character. Ezekiel will agree, if you must know.
@Peaceless, how does one look like a metaphor? :P
I can think of some obscure ways that that could make sense (e.g. since in a metaphor you usually say something is something else, you could say Renat looks to be an object when he absorbs a lot of matter), but I don't think they fit with the current situation or characters' knowledge of one another.
Oh, I meant it in a completely impersonal matter. Renat is basically a stray mutant wanting to belong - as a metaphor for all mutants feeling stray and wanting to belong. I will add more volume to the post later, to make it clearer.
Despite his frail appearance, the four-eyes had no trouble keeping up. But he seemed unfocused, looking to his sides and behind him as if he didn't know where he was. This was true in more than one way - He never explored this part of the settlement before, and also never was a fugitive. He threw the kid a glance - he looked harmless enough, but he also looked like a metaphor for all mutants, lost and wishing to belong. Did they just found a mutant runaway club? How many of those already existed? What do the people caught in the crossfire do? He suddenly remembered his old job, and what he thought was his new job...
The physicist reached a decision. He stopped dead in his tracks when the group stopped behind a corner to check if the coast is clear.
"Okay. I have decided to dedicate myself to this struggle." He said, wondering how many of his new companions were asking themselves why would a normal human follow them.

@Peaceless is that ok??
What, the pairs thing? I'm sorry, but I will not be voting on an in-character decision in the OOC. Ezekiel will be going with the flow and responding to IC interactions.
