Is anyone going to explain who the hell dropped in Xavier's Institute but forgot to bring along - what, literally any mutant?

( most people might start with a hello. julian just starts with a finger pointing back at the manor off behind him. )

Or, fine, anyone but Jean. ( because he's only half counting her as is. )

[vexant]

She'll come back. She wouldn't just leave all this crap here. Especially with Jean still around.

I know the power of
heresy
which is why I do not speak it.

I have seen my own brothers fall
at the hands
of Chaos.

what is the point of this comparison?

[vexant]

What's the problem with having no mutants, is what you asked

The problem is that means someone killed all of us
We are mutants

[thecodexabides]

then save your wrath
for those who deserve it.
Wasting vengeance upon those who
did not earn it
wastes your energy
and creates a new enemy.

I do not kill
children.
I thought we
here
were supposed to be
allies
of sorts. [There was a reason he asked the question, and did not just ask for the location of this mutant house to clear it of mutants himself. ]

[vexant]

Apologize to Jay

[thecodexabides]

for what

[vexant]

for calling him whatever the hell that word was

[thecodexabides]

no.

I will not apologize for explaining the truth
as my world knows it.

[cantilevers]

Do you have that omega nonsense printed on a shirt?

I wasn't aware that you were actually looking for a comparative pissing contest when I replied, kiddo. You could have just asked nicely.

[vexant]

forty-seven kids died and the world celebrated on the words of a religious zealot who called it a "miracle"

Apologize to Jay for making it sound like that's what you thought he is

[vexant]

You asked what I was better at
I answered you

And no, that's Quire who has it printed on a shirt

[cantilevers]

Crap doesn't generally equal better than thou where I'm from. Showing my age, I guess.

I don't know who that is.

[vexant]

You're lucky, then
I wish I could just not know who he is

[cantilevers]

Sounds like he's a real charmer. Will I receive the pleasure of meeting him during my stay here?

[vexant]

He's not here, if that's what you're asking

[cantilevers]

Damn. I was briefly hopeful.

[He absolutely was not.]

So what does Omega mean?

[vexant]

Most people have a cut off, right?
a limit on how strong they can get
Body builders can only build so much, one's ability can only get them so far

I don't have one.

[cantilevers]

How do you know you won't hit a power ceiling eventually?

[vexant]

I might
but no telepath has found my limit yet, and neither have I
so if I've got one, it's high enough I doubt I'll ever feel limited by it

welp guess we're choosing to make things worse

[thecodexabides]

Forty seven.
A mere forty seven.

I have seen entire planets lost. Whole regiments of the Astra Militarum. Dozens of my own brothers lost fighting the twisted perversions of nature.
It is no miracle. It is the purpose of the Adeptus Astartes to wreak vengeance upon those who mean us harm. [Which a lot of the time involves mutants.]

and what if I do not

[vexant]

forty-seven students at our school, when m-day hit
there were millions of us before M-day
after? less than two hundred

Don't, if you don't want to
Just know you'll be making a very, very powerful enemy

[thecodexabides]

I have fought
a Lord of Change himself
in the Immaterium
its own ground

And won.

are you more
powerful
than that?
Because if so
I am up for the challenge.

[vexant]

Come at me, asshole

Yes there is such a thing as imperium approved profanity

[thecodexabides]

[That is definitely not Imperium improved profanity. ]

Time.
Place.
Conditions.

terrible of them really

[vexant]

The Institute
Now
Bring whatever you want, I'll still kick your ass
