Very funny City. And Deities. That ability to control fire that I got? I need it back. ASAP.

You know how we can't fucking survive without oxygen or how some people can't function without smoking at least a pack of cigarettes a day? Yeah. That's kind of how I'm feeling right now without my mutant power.

So give it the fuck back. Right now.

I'm not waiting a day for this shitty curse to be over.

yeah. kind of ended in disaster. i went back home and ended up selling my power. i've got some shitty "take a walk in someone else's shoes" kind of power. it's less perverted if you ask me.

You can sell your power and exchange them for something else? [ Holy fuck. Officially sorta jealous. ]

dunno if you met him but there was this guy from home, seth. his power was to deal or trade powers. so i sold mine just so i could touch people. and then i bought another because we fucked up. pretty sure if it weren't for him, i'd still have a slutty touch. you don't have someone like that at home?

Only other guy I know who's from your world is that asshole Nathan Young.

And nope. We're not that lucky. Our powers come with our x-genes. Can't exchange them. Can't get rid of them.

So how exactly do you buy these powers? With money?

P/s: Re -- slutty touch. I know a girl who can't touch anyone at all because she'd immediately drain them of their of powers or kill them. Guess it could always be worse.

major wanker, even a few weeks down the line from when i originally came in. yeah. he stores the powers some way and you buy them. like buying stuff from shops. costs a fucking fortune. jesus, what the fuck did she do to deserve that? powers like that shouldn't exist.

[ now alisha realises how lucky she was. ]

What's his damage anyways?

I can imagine it'd cost a fortune. So this Seth guy's in the City?

She could absorb another mutant's power and use them. It's pretty fucking handy. [ Except he really hated that time she used his powers to stop him from causing more damage to the police cars. ]

I know another mutant who's got bones protruding out of her entire body, and mutants who don't look at all human. But they're all special in some way. [ Definitely better than some non-mutant any day. ]

dropped on the head as a child. his step-father turns into a dog sometimes. not sure if that contributes. he's left. i'm hoping he comes back. i have a feeling draining someone of their life kind of beats having their power. that kind of burden would suck. you're serious? jesus, that sounds painful. all of our powers are really bland compared to the ones you know.

I believe the drop on the head as a child part, but that shit about his stepfather turning into a dog is bull, right?

So you can keep switching powers?

Yeah. Guess so. If you're interested in that whole relationship and touchy feelings crap.

There's this other mutant called Emplate who's kind of a mutant vampire except he doesn't drink blood. He eats bone marrows and that's how he duplicates another mutant's powers.

wish i was lying. we found him naked in an alleyway during our service. nathan said he turned into a dog. took pictures, too. smartest thing he's ever done. if i had a lot of money, yeah. but it's possible. you sell a power and if you want, you can get another. i guess it's all gambling. except we got left with shit powers. seth doesn't have unlimited powers; it's like buying something that only has twenty copies in store. ... that's way too weird for it to be bullshit. whoever is in charge of these powers must be fucking bored.

Does everyone have some kind of an ability where you're from?

This Seth guy -- does he keep any powers for himself? Or he just sells them?

I figure it's messed up genes sometimes. Some mutants get lucky. Some mutants don't. What really sucks though is that we're forced to go into hiding or we're asked to keep our abilities a secret so people won't get freaked out. Or that our government started this thing called the Cure in an attempt to take away our abilities. [ Okay. So they were just asking mutants to volunteer to take the cure, but it wouldn't have been long before they forced it on them. ]

You ever had to deal with that kind of thing back home?

no. not unless they got hit by the storm. a lot of people are normal back home. he sells them. i don't think he can use the powers, or else i don't see why he would be selling them. i think his is just dealing, that's it. no. i don't think anyone really knows about us. and when they found out, curtis rewound time since all of us were killed by this fucking wanker. from what he told me, everyone was interested in us. but i wouldn't be surprised; that shit always turns sour, doesn't it? why doesn't your friend take the cure? her power sounds more like a nuisance than anything.
