Phoe- Wolverine? Are you alright?

metalandashes August 25 2009, 18:13:11 UTC

yeah

blue_shields August 25 2009, 18:18:39 UTC

[There are pentaps here, and a few false starts before he finally writes]

These words are familiar to me, as well. Could you tell me what you've remembered?

metalandashes August 25 2009, 18:41:33 UTC

I was in the rain. there were three people with me. a man and two women. the guy was called Angel. I think I hurt him. he was pretty pissed. one of the women was called Jean, only I called her Red. she called me Wolverine and welcomed me to the X-Men.

I think she was in my dream before, Blue. the one I had when I was born here. I think she's Phoenix.

I'm going to document this elsewhere, so we don't lose it.

The name "Angel" seems familiar, and the X-Men...that seems very familiar, actually. Though, this Phoenix...I don't recognize it at all.

[he's writing fast, like he's trying to catch it all before he forgets]

she was a bird made of fire, but she was Jean too. she was both at the same time. I had to kill her.

Wolverine? Like the animal?

metalandashes August 26 2009, 16:06:55 UTC

yeah, like the animal.

doctorears August 26 2009, 21:52:30 UTC

Why would you be named after a small, vicious sort of animal? They're not exactly the pleasant sort.

stonyfaced August 26 2009, 00:59:15 UTC

At least we won't get you and the other Phoenix mixed up anymore, at any rate.

Congratulations on your real name. I hope it was worth it.

metalandashes August 26 2009, 16:07:24 UTC

right now I ain't so sure

reckless_rebel August 26 2009, 01:05:01 UTC

Wait...

[Incoherent scribbles.]

You know all that is just at the tip of my brain.

Guess um, it's nice to re-meet you Wolverine.

metalandashes August 26 2009, 16:07:53 UTC

you know the names too?

reckless_rebel August 26 2009, 22:14:29 UTC

Yeah. Definitely. I just couldn't tell you how.

It's frustrating.
