That ability-- what was it?

Telekinesis. I'm a mutant.

deflowers December 25 2009, 20:01:06 UTC

...Like nuclear waste kinda mutant?

No. I was born that way, but my powers manifested when I was in my twenties.

...Apple pies are good.

I have about four... they're still warm.

Umm...can I have a slice?

The fuck you apologizing for? Ten years and you still had the balls to keep going.

It's not gonna happen like that. It's not gonna fucking happen. But we're gonna have to get off our asses.

[This sounds nothing like the timid, shy Verbal from a month ago. This voice is hard, determined, and very pissed off.]

I've thought that for a while. Most of these people would rather pass their days either under the impression that staying cheerful will get them what they want, or they're trying to kill each other.

[He can hear the strength in Verbal's voice, and it chills him. It also gives him a touch of hope. This was the determination he had wanted to hear since he'd arrived.]

It's not my way, to kill...

[The statement sounds hollow. He and Verbal both know the truth, since they'd seen themselves in the future.]

The winner is the guy that's willing to do what the other guy isn't. If they're willing to kill us, and you fucking know they are, then where does that leave us if we aren't? On the losing side, that's where.

Problem is, people have killed drones before. We can take out the Mayor or Grady or whoever else, but I believe they'll be replaced.

Doesn't hurt to try, though. I'd like a look inside City Hall once, without having a chaperon.

I'll help.

If you like. I'm about half finished.

[Gabriel is wiping his hands on a kitchen towel. The sink is full and the room is warm from the oven. The smell of cinnamon and apples fills the house.]

What're you up to today?
