[ Ah, another one trying to stubbornly push through it.

Lorna shakes her head slightly in response to the question. ]

No dice. That'd be my sister or sister-in-law's domain.

[ Neither of whom are even here, sigh. ]

I'm usually a walking magnet type; here I'm more of an ... immune to mental fuckery type.

[ Which is a nice change of pace if you've got her history of being mentally fucked with. ]

Where's a team of elementals when you need, 'em?

[hackedhistory]

At least it'd make it easier to figure out what's wrong with them.

[Or help revitalize them a little. She's just worried about all the flora falling apart around them.]

[geomagnetically]

So, here's hoping it's not a sign of the apocalypse or something. It's not a fun gig.

[ Says the one who spent time as one of Apocalypse's horse(wo)men. Unwillingly, of course. ]

What sort of gift did you get here?

[hackedhistory]

I don't know yet. It hasn't really come up.

[Actually it has, but she hasn't really given it context yet.]

I'll let you know when it appears.

[geomagnetically]

Ooh, power roulette. I feel like I should be saying good luck? [ She's seen a lot of people get the short end of the power stick -- in her world, that is (see: Rogue). ] May it be badass and helpful for you.

[ look, she means it ok. ]

[hackedhistory]

Fingers crossed.

[She sighs as she settles on a bench.]

I just wish I could help the plants.

[geomagnetically]

You think more than one elemental at a time on these could do the trick? Combining their energy or whatever?

[hackedhistory]

[She frowns for a moment, uncertain.]

You mean like a power boost?

[geomagnetically]

Yep, exactly. Two heads are better than one, so therefore an army of powered people -- especially ones with the right kinds for this -- is better than one.

[ Nobody tell Lorna that her Magneto is showing with a suggestion like 'fuck just throw powers at it until the job's done'.

(She already knows.) ]

If that doesn't work, then ... it's fucked.

[ #optimism101 ]

[hackedhistory]

[She smirks a bit at that.]

Well, as far as I know, there's only one person with plant powers here. We're going to need more than that.

[geomagnetically]

Met anyone who can mimic other powers? [ ROGUE WHY ARE YOU NOT HERE?? ] I haven't -- well, here -- but damn that'd be nice.

[hackedhistory]

[She shakes her head.]

Yeah, that would be helpful. But no, I haven't seen any.
