Tabitha Smith

I caught her and Marius playing catch with a book the other day. There were words.

From:

Are you certain it was her? That almost sounds like an Attilan royal having fun. I think there's some protocol against that.

From:

Acres of sentient red hair and an attitude that won't quit?

Also, I think they were couching it as "research." With BOOKS.

From:

Yep, that's Lady Medusa all right. She's the fun one.

From:

I'm trying to decide if the little helper is revenge or an apology.

It's still Very Creepy.

From:

For lack of a better term, I tend to refer to it as trichokinesis, although given the unusual tensile properties of the hair in question, I'm thinking a morphic psychokinetic manifestation is more apt.

Of course, one cannot simply call a Lady of Attilan down to the lab for tests, alas. Propriety and all.

From:

Maybe you should ask Marius to ask her. She seems rather open to his ideas of experiments. *sour*

From:

Ooh, positively scandalous. I've heard about Marius' "experiments". They usually involve the exchange of some bodily fluids, but I was under the impression he'd grown out of that phase...

From:

I- You- But-

You really shouldn't tell me these things. Now I have to go examine the texts where they were "experimenting" to see if I need to break out the Serious Book Recovery Equipment.

Considering you were one of his very first...

From:

Is this where I cover my ears and start shouting "lalala?"

From:

That sounds a lot like a jealous wife talking there, Jennie dear.

From:

Her vows prohibit that, actually. We've had that chat.

From:

Ah yes, Marius' inability to fulfill his husbandly duties rears its head again.

From:

Interesting that you ascribe it to a lack of ability on his part and not a lack on interest on hers.

Boys.

From:

Well, I didn't want to offend his fragile pride.

From:

I don't think there's a power in the 'verse that can make Marius stop being smug.

From:

One can, however, ask a Lady of Attilan if she would be willing to pay a visit to the lab in order to take tests.

From:

That's just crazy talk.

From:

Why is that?

From:

The Lady in question is already doing me one significant favor, I would not impose upon her gracious nature with another.

From:

What favor do you mean?

From:

Grown-up talk. No need to worry yourself.

From:

You're just BEGGING for bodily injury tonight, aren't you?

From:

Miss Smith, you wound me. I am the model of decorum and civility, especially when dealing with our delicate Attilani flowers.

From:

Bucky, I'm not the one who will be wounding you. I fully endorse the princess' in any retaliationshe may make against you.

From:

I see.

From:

Excuse me?

From:

Easily enough done.

From:

At this point in time, I find it rather prudent to remind you that this particular Lady of Attilan knows how to get to your lab, your workshop, your room, and the garage.

From:

And should you be looking for me, there is a significant non-zero chance that I would likely be in one of those locations. See also: my office, my car, the gym, and any of the common areas.

From:

Yes, I know where those are, too. Your car is the reason I mentioned the garage.

From:

It is just hair.

From:

I have to disagree, Crystal. I have just hair. Medusa has really great hair.

From:

No, it's hair that moves by itself, at a great distance from its owner. It's POSSESSED hair.

From:

Yes to your first statement, and, I suppose, a semi-yes to the second one. It is not truly possessed, of course, but yes, Medusa is able to control it and have it move and act according to her will. I can alter and control air in various ways; Medusa has full control over her hair, even when it is no longer attached to her head.

From:

It's very kind of her hair to help me with my work. I appreciate it, truly.

But I'm not at all used to seeing hair move like that and it's rather unnerving.

Okay, VERY unnerving.

From:

Do you find other powers unnerving as well?

From:

Only when I can't see the person behind them. Dani's illusions would be a prime example. Also, to use an older example, Magneto. Whenever things would go haywire before he actually showed up, creepy.

From:

I am going to pretend that you did not just, in effect, compare my sister and the use of her mutant abilities to Magneto and the use of his.

From:

Why not? Does being a bit of a shit prevent someone from being analogous to something in other respects? I mean, the man's Jewish, as well, isn't he? Are we not allowed to mention his heritage in the same context as other holocaust survivors?

From:

While I'm not going to defend Not!Daddy, I am going to agree with Pete. Crazy or not, Magneto's got better control over his powers than pretty much anyone with access to these journals.

From:

Like the other two said, he was the most powerful and in control mutant I've known. Possibly ever existed. And it's a bit awesome to see that kind of power and control.
