Since I can't hide in my room forever and hopefully this way you won't all be surprised when you see me,

hey, surprise, I'm a shapeshifter and I've gone and turned green. No, I didn't do it on purpose. It just happened. Someone said something about it maybe being my actual default shape. IDK. I was a little stressed and not really listening at the time.

I don't know how to turn back and I'm basically on mansion house arrest till I can go outside without BEING GREEN at people.

I have natural green hair. Perhaps we can go green together.

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

Natural green hair?

Like, even your eyebrows and arm hair and everything?

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

Oh my god. I did not just say that.

Um. Ignore me?

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I never laughed so hard. My eyebrows have always just stayed dark and arm hair and everything has also stayed a non-green color.

But my hair on my head and my eyes, they match in color.

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

But you dye it brown.

you're totally in the mutant closet right now while I'm still - totally green

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I did dye it brown. It has been growing out since last month.

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

Right. Didn't realise.

Aren't you worried abut looking like a mutant?

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

No worries. I tend to wear hats in the morning cause it is cold outside.

No. Then again if you have a good support of people around you then it doesn't matter.

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

I'm going to argue with that, I think,

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I can be a good support person.

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

That's nice of you but I don't know if I've ever even spoken to you for more than thirty seconds face to face.

And, look - I was, homeless before I moved in here because I was a mutant and I didn't have the decency to hide it properly or present like a cis-girl all the time. I couldn't stay in shelters because I was a mutant and probably gonna be dangerous to other people.

I didn't got beat up - more than once - because i was a mutant and probably some kind of queer.

So that's real nice of you but yeah, I'm worried now because I can't hide being a mutant nearly as well anymore and that gets you targetted and profiled and all that shit way more than everything else I was before did.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I was extending a hand in friendship. Of course, we don't know each other very well and that can change.

I think I heard from a birdie that there are these bracelets that can give you the appearances of looking what people want to say "normal". I am not sure how, but I can ask around the mansion and see what I can come up with. And part of my job now is to help, especially people who can be targetted, profiled and have it bad.

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

And what happens when the bracelet breaks?

[x-wallflower-.livejournal.com]

You hit your panic button on your Xavier's phone and someone picks you up.

Nothing is fool proof, and I'm truly sorry for that - being a visible mutant in the current climate is dangerous but we will help you as much as we can.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Then we fix it. But I don't recall hearing stories of it breaking.

I'll make you some cupcakes and hope for the best.

[xp-darcy.livejournal.com]

Hopefully the adults that know what they're doing can get you sorted out so you can do normal stuff soon enough. I can't really offer help, but company and food, maybe? Cat pics? Shiny balls of tinfoil to distract you (or is that just me)?

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

Company sounds good?

[xp-darcy.livejournal.com]

I can do that.

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

Sweet. I got popcorn and movies?

[xp-darcy.livejournal.com]

Excellent. I can bring some chocolate?

[x-traction.livejournal.com]

There's tech that can help. Talk with Clarice or Kurt. I mean, it's not infallible, but it does the job.

Also, if you get bored in your room, I always have netflix and snacks and comfy blankets.

Random person you don't know offers advice

[xp_daytripper]

Seconding the talking to Clarice and Kurt. Fuck, Kurt's been blue and fuzzy and with a tail his entire life - he's also really good at the talking thing.

(Just jumping in 'cause Kurt's my brother and if anyone knows what you're going through, it'll be him. Or Clarice, who turned purple in her teens.)

Re: Random person you don't know offers advice

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

I'll have a chat to them.

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

I think I have to leave my room at some point but thanks for the offer.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Well, if this is gonna be a Thing, you can always join Rahne's one-mutant-schoolhouse. OKay, I mean it's more like Kyle Gibney's One-Teacher-Schoolhouse, but you know - you could roll the year off learning about history from a guy who just pirated the entire Hamilton soundtrack.

No for serious if you need it, I'm here, and we'll talk. I take this seriously - ask Rahne. I joke but I don't screw around where actually educating you folks stands.

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

It might be a thing. It was rough enough at school when I had to keep hiding in the toilets because Girl! Boy! Girl! Boy! but if it's Girl! Boy! Green thing! then I can't really go back.

I'm a senior, man. I wasn't doing that great because of the whole hiding in the toilets and shapeshifting thing but I *really* want to graduate.

Can you get me through till summer?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

God yes. you gota what, half a year left? We can do this thing if the image inducer thing's not your jam. (It's not mine)

I'll setup a meeting with Professor Xavier, we'll get your transcripts, and we'll get you to the point where you can do some distance college if you want or whatever. I mean, yo, 2 person classes means you might pull up your GPA.

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

Well, even with Matt's pay for grades program, it's hard for it to go *down* at this point. I'm basically pulling in straight C's and a few D's.

Apparently, you need to like "focus" in class.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Yeah well, hard to focus when you're trying to keep from growing the other set of facial features, right? So, that won't be a thing. IDGAF -what- cheekbones you're rocking in a particular minute.

We'll setup that meeting, figure out where you stand and then I'll sit down with you and Rahne and we'll figure out if we need to make any major schedule changes but probably not - even with you two in different grades, there's a lot of overlap time, cause of self-directed study.

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

Yeah - it's like *I* don't care what face I'm in but other people freak out so since I started at school as a boy because people don't look at boys the same way they do girls - like people *notice* if a girl's cheekbones change, I have to not change the whole time I'm there.

Sounds good.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

That new controller came in. Wanna play some games?

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

Okay, sure.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

Got a favorite? We could do some co-op stuff. Or I could load up Halo 4 and kick your ass.

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

I'd like to see you try.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

Challange accepted.
