When: Now or nowish. Definitely now-adjacent.

I have an important request. I need someone who can make cheese. Do cheese makers have an old timey name like cobblers and haberdashers or are those only for clothes? Anyway, calling all of those.

Cheese doesn't seem to be a thing here from what I can tell, but we're just one ingredient away from some really great pizza. I have no idea what cheese requires other than cows or goats or something. I grew up so close to Wisconsin, but I feel like I learned so little.

I would also accept alternative cheese. I know there were vegan kinds made out of hopes and dreams or something I assume. I can pay you or share the finished pizza or do something in trade if I had skills. I could beat someone up for you maybe. [She's not going to do that. Probably.] We'll work it out.

[She's on the planet doing all of these things and more but this post won't get to CAPTCHA! You might find her on the Windrose veeeery rarely!]

That's too bad. They're pretty great once you train them. [She's kidding. Probably.]

[beathach]

I wouldn't know what to do with them. [he's not kidding, what would he even do with admirers]

[passingthrough]

Mmm, start a pop band?

[beathach]

One needs singing talent to do that.

[passingthrough]

Okay, conduct flash mobs?

[beathach]

I— . . . don't know what a flash mob is.

[passingthrough]

I don't even know why I thought you might. If it makes you feel any better it has nothing to do with flashing people.

[beathach]

I can assure you that isn't where my mind went next.

[this is Hank McCoy, pure cinnanerd, after all]

[passingthrough]

Is it where your mind is going now though?

[beathach]

Not at all.

[passingthrough]

How about now? [You befriended a troll you know.]

[beathach]

[oh, he knows. He has too many friends who end up being trolls of some kind]

Nope. I don't think I'm wired to think that way.

[passingthrough]

I feel like there was an insult tucked inside there for me. [She raises an eyebrow at him.] I think I see why someone would throw things at you. Not that I was or ever would.

[beathach]

I was actually taking a shot at myself. [he can't be that subtle, even with fake insults] Oh, of course not.

[passingthrough]

Well, that's worse. I'm very protective of my friends. [She said the f-word.] Don't make me push you out of a tree. [She kind of doubts she could push him out of a tree.]

[beathach]

Even when they insult themselves? [that's a good f-word, unlike other ones] You can try.

[passingthrough]

Especially then.

Don't tempt me, sir. [Smiling at him and weirdly curious about whether or not she could.]

[beathach]

I wouldn't dream of it. [look at this innocent face]

[passingthrough]

[So completely innocent.] Nah, I think I was probably rough enough on you for one lifetime when you arrived. I'll play nice.

I mean, unless you want to do some field training. [Actually she'd be into that. It's a nice landscape for it.]

[beathach]

I wouldn't say no, if that's a serious offer.

[passingthrough]

It's serious. [And she likes the idea. Fighting a version of the dark beast should probably freak her out, but it's hard to see that in Hank especially when he looks like this. Speaking of which...] Can you? I mean, like this?

[beathach]

I've been doing some training with Mystique. [like this, because while he knew how to fight in general, everything was muted like this. He couldn't depend on the same things he did while he was Beast] So - yes, but I don't know how much of a challenge I'll be.

[passingthrough]

That's okay. I like challenges and I like winning so it all works out for me.

So, Mystique as in the one you aren't dating? [She assumes she would have called her Raven.]

[beathach]

But - yes, the one I'm not dating. [that's how he's separated them in his head, Mystique and Raven] Though I've sparred with - the one I'm dating, too. Er, as me, though, not - like this.

[passingthrough]

[She does much the same, but always good to check since they can both claim both names.]

So, you don't think of this as you? [Curious.]
