Where does one go if one is having...power trouble? Besides to march myself straight over to the nearest mutant registration camp, to register my new power, as I've been told I should by certain people on campus who will eventually thank me for leaving them anonymous for one reason or another.

[Sheesh. That probably explains a lot...]

If she acknowledged you, it might not matter whether it's really true or not. Any particular reason you're spilling the beans now, though?

[friendofdorothy]

[Oh just accidentally rooted around in your memories, NBD.]

I just had a feeling I could trust you with this information.

[mouflon]

[Hiding the details is either a very wise choice, or a very foolish one.]

Good to know I seem so trustworthy, then.

[Having typed that, Rin dithers for a bit about the rest of her message. Eventually, though, she adds another question.]

What was she like? I've read about her, but you can only glean so much of a person's personality from the third-hand accounts you find in most books and articles.

[Liir is an expert at doing both at once]

Ill at ease with...everything. She was all parts that grate. That sense of not fitting with the state of things probably fueled her political work.

[mouflon]

I guess in that line of work, you have to be. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you're not here under pleasant circumstances?

(Don't feel like you have to detail anything in writing. The faculty can check our private messages if they want to, I'm sure. If there's anything you want to stay between us, we can talk in person.)

[friendofdorothy]

No, not really. I'm sure they have it all figured out.

I should tell you though that if I really am her son, I've inherited none of her heroism or charisma. You can compare me to her if you want but be prepared for dissapointment if you do.

I would like to talk in person with you at some point, but I'm in no particular hurry.

[mouflon]

No worries there. I don't believe in handing out respect for who you happen to be related to.

I'll see you around, then.
