[The woman on this video transmission has green hair everywhere -- on the top of her head, her eyebrows, her eyelashes -- and green eyes to match. She's wearing all green, too; in addition, her lips are green -- but that's just because she has green lipstick on, not because her lips are naturally green.

She's levitating her device by way of creative use of her mutant powers, so at least people aren't getting an extreme close up of her face.]

Sooo, I guess I'm doing the multiverse and-slash-or space thing again. Cool. I mean, new places and worlds are kind of par for the course for me at this point, so I'm more fascinated than disturbed -- at least for the moment. I'll see how this shakes out.

[A beat. She is super chill right now.]

Anyway -- name's Lorna Dane, AKA Polaris, also on and off member of teams of the likes of X-Men and X-Factor.

[She says all of that in hopes that someone here will know at least one of those names. If not, oh...well?]

I've been poking around and seeing what I can, but if anyone wants to tell the newbie here the less obvious do-'s and dont'-s' of this place, I would be much obliged before I make a dumbass out of myself.

[Or, you know, people can start taking bets on how long it is before she gets in trouble, some way, some how.]

I'll take it. Small victories, etcetera. [just because it's frequent doesn't make it any less annoying.] Granted, it wasn't exactly alien related invasions last I checked back home but. [home is never short on drama, basically.]

[modelsixtythree]

Oh? What was your last mess? I don't know if our timelines match up, but yours sounds the closest to mine that I've heard so far.

[she makes this reply private because she's not about to broadcast 'HEY EVERYONE THIS IS HOW YOU KILL A BUNCH OF MUTANTS IF THERE'S A STOCK OF TERRIGEN STUFF HERE'; she's not that dumb.]

Inhumans and mutants were clashing over Terrigen Mist being loose in the air. It was letting inhumans manifest powers -- obviously -- but, it was toxic to mutants. As in the kind of toxic that ends in death, not the kind where it's like a day of food poisoning and then you're fine once it's out of your system.

[Natasha can't help but wince.] Doesn't sound familiar, but it does sound like a mess. My sympathies.

locked

[geomagnetically]

[such a mess. she nods for a bit of emphasis.] What were you last dealing with?

[modelsixtythree]

[Her eyes slide away from the camera for just a moment, but when she makes herself look back it's with an almost-smile.] A slightly more personal problem. Rogue armors.

[she makes a face that can only be described as both sympathetic and 'y i k e s'.]

My sympathies in return. No one's ever allowed to catch any break, are they?

[modelsixtythree]

[Her smile goes more genuine, if slightly lopsided.] Not that I've ever seen. Part of the job, I guess.

locked

[geomagnetically]

Guess so. Vacation days are also a myth -- and for people who come from places where the universe isn't constantly at apocalyptic-level risk.

locked

[modelsixtythree]

Tell me about it. We seem to be getting one now and I'm honestly not sure what to do with myself.

locked

[geomagnetically]

Uuhh. Find an abandoned building and make something cool with the use of it? [well it's at least a half serious suggestion, if not 70% serious.]

locked

[modelsixtythree]

[It startles a laugh out of her, serious or not.] Not a bad idea. And I guess I know who to call if I need metal moved.

locked

[geomagnetically]

You can even put me on speed dial. I'd like to think I'm the more fun magnet. [that's compared to Erik, of course.]

locked

[modelsixtythree]

No offense, but that's not the highest bar to jump.

locked

[geomagnetically]

Yeah, I know, but I'll take my tiny ass victories where I can.

[modelsixtythree]

[She smiles a little.] We should get coffee or something some time. Compare notes.

locked

[geomagnetically]

We should -- I live on coffee, so any day is not a bad day for this.

locked

[modelsixtythree]

I can see we're going to get along great.

locked

[geomagnetically]

Probably so. [/sage nod.] Anyone who can wake up without coffee probably has the best superpower ever. [Just saying.]

locked

[modelsixtythree]

I've lived with enough morning people. They're terrifying.

locked

[geomagnetically]

Did you ever find out their secret?

locked

[modelsixtythree]

Magic, close as I can tell.

locked

[geomagnetically]

And they can't be bothered to share? Damn that's harsh.

locked

[modelsixtythree]

I'll ask Strange next time I see him.

locked

[geomagnetically]

Coffee amulets. That could be an idea.

Now you see why I don't have magic.

[the shit she would do with it.]
