So
Our mission requirement is "survive" which is really fucking vague BUT Aurora did say we can take basically anything through the portal as long as we can fit it through
I'm a telekinetic. Meaning I can carry basically anything through the portal as long as it's not so wide it doesn't fit, and since she said the limits are the size of a small SUV, I can probably cart whatever through
If you've got crap and can't carry it, you know where to find me
Or if you suck at "surviving", I've managed to not die despite countless attempts to kill me, so

( it takes him a minute to get exactly what this guy is trying to say, but when he does - julian doesn't like it. )

Yeah, and?
If bringing supplies to keep people from dying is what prevents me from succeeding, then I deserve to fail

[odinpusrex]

Is that so? You only compromise yourself, and for what? The foolish belief you might help those already disadvantaged? You will only delay their inevitable end, this will not be what saves them.

[vexant]

I'm not compromising myself
You know what'd be "compromising" myself? Being the asshole who is capable of helping only to decide, fuck it, they can fend for themselves
I'll decide how I choose to participate, thanks
And if that's keeping people up on their feet when I can help it? That's none of your business

[odinpusrex]

Very well, we will see how far this fool's gambit brings you. Your stubborn idealism will change little in the end.

[vexant]

Says you
No one's dying on my watch

[odinpusrex]

You will personally be their guardian? You cannot hope to protect them all. If not from the dangers, then their own incompetence.

[vexant]

You know what?
I will
I will personally keep up everyone who needs help

[odinpusrex]

Your stubborn defiance will only disservice you in the end. Does your own world mean so little that you would chance failure for those that could not offer you the same charity?

[vexant]

Everyone back home who matters would be pissed if I saved them by letting others get hurt

[odinpusrex]

A world of foolish idealists, little wonder you cling to such delusions.

[vexant]

A world of people who have already been torn down in damn near every way you can imagine, who'd do everything in their power to prevent others from suffering the same
Who the hell are you supposed to be?

[odinpusrex]

Your impetuous nature clouds your judgment. Is prolonging their struggle preventing their suffering, or does it merely soothe your conscience to believe it so?

I am King Barnabas Tharmr, Dominant of Odin and Warden of Darkness.

[vexant]

People don't need to be strong to be happy, King Edgelord
Did you earn that title? Or was it the usual "we gotta keep it in the family, even if the next in line's a bastard who clearly shouldn't have it"?

I'm Hellion, of the X-Men. And I'd watch your back if I were you. Because all of these people? Are under my protection now. And I've taken down bigger and badder than some BDSM freak who goes around calling himself the "Dominant of" bullcrap.

[odinpusrex]

I earned my crown, as all kings should.

You are one of Ororo's, I see. I am not the one you should worry yourself over, for it will not be my appetite for blood you may very well be forced to sate.

[vexant]

Then fuck off and mind your own business.

[odinpusrex]

Should you seek counsel when your endeavors fail, come to Stonhyrr. Till then, may the consequences of your folly be your mentor.

[vexant]

You keep sending me messages, but all I'm seeing is some pretentious asshole who thinks he knows better than anyone else just because he's got a name like "King Edgelord".

Hope you realize I'm really not in the market for a mentor outside of "the consequences of my folly". Been there, done that. Storm could tell you all about it, if she was here. Unfortunately for you, you'll just need to take my word for it.

Enjoy your castle, jackass.

[odinpusrex]

I believe she could, familiar as I once had been with her company.

If you believe yourself better, then all you must needs do is prove it. I will be watching.

[He will leave it at that. He will see how well Julian weathers the coming mission and his proclaimed duty. But like most blinded by hubris, he does not expect him to succeed.]

[vexant]

( . . . )

Were you fucking my professor? And now you're telling me? After going on about how none of the flatscans here deserve help?

[odinpusrex]

[He could answer this, but instead he leaves Julian with silence as he is left on read.]
