I just transferred.

[ A short - and slightly blunt - statement. It's almost given as some sort of disclaimer in the sense of "so don't expect me to really know anything just yet" more than anything else.. it's probably also why a proper introduction is missing. He's not the social type, and he sure doesn't like drawing attention to himself to begin with, so maybe he's just hoping to keep it as short as possible.

A small pause, as if he's thinking of how to word something, but then he just sighs. He probably shouldn't take up too much time with this or lunch break is over, huh. ]

What do you do when your annoying roommate just won't shut up. [ Not even bothering to filter it from said roommate. He gives exactly zero shits.

(Also yes, that's apparently the whole question.) ]

Comments

[deceases]

That's fine with me. [ He's not in his room right now anyway, so.. that ten minutes doesn't mean "ten minutes more of getting his ears chattered off". Sounds perfect to him. ]

I shouldn't be too hard to recognize [ considering his hair.. color.. then again, half the village looked this anime hair-y where he came from ] so I'll see you there.

[ And he'll actually make sure he's there first, just so he's in time.. he's an ass, but not the kind of ass who actually makes someone wait for him when they promised to help him. So he's just standing around there, probably leaning against something as he waits. ]

[echoing_sutras]

I said everyone. Whole planet.

[Private]

[niepokonany]

[Perhaps because they're on a private channel, while Feliks smiles, he doesn't see the need to make a joke of it. There's a little warmth there -- maybe Luvander reminded him of himself there, just for a second.]

Yeah. Yeah, that's totally it!

This is a good place for that kind of thing. Like, even when the only thing you've got left is you.

[He'd never really been liked before he came here. He knows he's not the only one.]

[niepokonany]

[Oh god, he's laughing so hard on the inside, and doing a pretty awful job of hiding it on the outside, too...]

Like me... So, what, flawless people? There's a few of us! It's a relatively common secondary mutation, I guess.

[diabhal_beag]

They're what everyone here has in common. Most of us had the same sense of being ostracized from our community - trust me on that.

You try chatting with people, sharing a few hobbies, and you'll find people easily, I'm sure of it.

[nobodysweapon]

Yes. They are a constant.

This is not the place for 'rest and quiet.' Too many attacks.

[deceases]

Who said I'm looking for that.

[ Do you hear this tone, Beast Boy? That's totally the tone of someone who wouldn't know what fun was if it danced right in front of him. Completely flat. ]

If you want me to do something like that, consider treating me at least like some sort of hitman. [ Not.. that he's serious about this either, but he still manages to say it in the exact same time as the other half. ]

[deceases]

[ All he can think is that'd sure suck by the time aliens find them.. ]

You sure are quick with thinking up answers for these problems, huh. [ And by answers he means "ridiculous answers". Even if he doesn't say it, it's pretty present in his tone. ]

[deceases]

[ Not hard to see why people start disliking mutants.. if that would be an actual secondary mutation, anyway. At least Natsuno's not dumb enough to fall for jokes like that. ]

Yeah. "Flawless" people. [ God.. how is he going to survive his years at school. ]

I'm slowly starting to think I ended up at the wrong place after all.

[echoing_sutras]

I was mostly joking. If you want a real answer...

In Buddhism, we have something called "shouting at the shadow". It describes the fruitlessness of trying to change other people.

[niepokonany]

Maybe you got lost. Were you like, looking for Xander's School for the Chilling-Out Impaired?

I think that's where the history teacher transferred in from...

[He really should just let it go, but it's just too much fun to poke people like this.]

[brought2ubycolgate]

No, it is a little different from headphones. More like a small device you can place by your desk.

[tofudog]

I'll tell you what: I'll give you, hmm... six chocolate bars after Halloween, and you kick him. Except you have to do it at the right time. Like, when he's trying to sleep, or balancing a stack of dishes, or concentrating real hard? Foot-o-gram delivered!

[deceases]

[ Even if the problem was more him ostracizing himself than the other way around, huh.. (although it sure did happen the other way around too, but still.) ]

You sound like some sort of counselor. [ He's probably trying to shrug it off a little by just casually saying that instead. ]

[deceases]

I'll take attacks over having to listen to these people.

[ Yes, he's 100% serious.. he's been fighting off vampires before and then got shot at even by humans, so whatever, he's used to it by now. Idiots, however, are one of those things he'll probably never get used to. ]

[diabhal_beag]

I'm a school librarian and an X-Man besides. I've got many things I need to be, and one of them is someone who watches out for the students and helps them grow.

This is especially true when we have people who frankly have developed very negative personalities as a result of the crap that happened to them before they got support.

[deceases]

[ Well.. yeah, he can sort of imagine that. It's exactly why he's asking for tips on how to deal with Luvander now, since he knows there's no way in hell the guy is just going to shut up if he tells him to often enough or anything like that. ]

So did Buddhism have an answer on how to deal with other people too then?

[ Not that he's.. religious.. but if she brings it up, he might as well hear if there's anything useful to find here. ]

[deceases]

[ Wow, he can chill out! Totally. Obvious. Look at how chill he is.. and.. completely annoyed by everyone and everything around him..

Yeah... ]

In other words, this history teacher may in fact be the only other sane person in this entire school is what you're saying.

[deceases]

That advanced?

[ He hasn't heard of it, but then again.. Sotoba and technology.. they were lucky if they even got TV up there, really. ]

.. then again, that's probably way too expensive for a student like me to be able to buy. Unless I sell an organ on the black market or something. [ N.. ot serious about that one, though. He's not that stupid. ]

[deceases]

I can do that. [ And he is actually serious about this one, despite his tone not changing. ]

I don't know if it'll happen before Halloween, though. Stuff like that takes the right opportunity. It might be a while. [ But at least it means he can kick Luvander sometime when he's being annoying as hell again and actually have a convenient excuse for it. ] You can be a little patient, yeah?

[deceases]

[ That last line is very Natsuno, yes.. although he'll never admit it. And at least he isn't that bad, he's a good guy when it comes down to it. But that's also something he wouldn't say out loud, so instead he just makes a small "hm" kind of noise, as if to indicate he's at least listening. ]

Have those people been violent before?

[ Might as well scope out the potential stuff that could be a pain in the ass to deal with if more of those types pop up here. ]

[niepokonany]

Darn, you caught me! But, you know how these things go...

[He changes his outfit in the blink of an eye to a Mad Hatter costume.]

It's like, we're all mad here!

[brought2ubycolgate]

A hundred American dollars, I believe the price is.

[echoing_sutras]

Most teachings lean towards learning compassion for the other person.

[diabhal_beag]

Ever hear of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants?

Or, on a less extreme measure, there's people who try to join X-Teams but can't uphold our ideals - at all. That causes problems all its own.

Never mind the lesser problems with any sufficiently negative-minded high schooler.
