[It's a rare video post from Morph, starting with a selfie-style shot of their smiling face, and a distant view of trees behind them.]

I still can't believe it happened, but my home showed up? And it's not a half-burnt, demolished ruin like the last time I saw it. Here, take a look.

[Then they turn the camera to show that they're standing on a driveway that leads up to a literal mansion which is as promised, intact and very non-destroyed looking.]

This is Xavier's School for 'Gifted' Youngsters. A full tour would be pretty boring, but there is something here that you absolutely have to see.

[The video feed cuts off and then restarts in a metal hallway, right outside a set of doors that promptly open up into... a big metal room. Other than an observation platform at the top of the room that's lined in glass, there's nothing all that notable about it.]

This is what we call the Danger Room! Long story short, the Professor has this alien squeeze that gave us access to some awesome technology. Talk about side benefits, right?

Computer, let's run simulation Juggernaut 24-A.

[With a shimmer of light, there's suddenly an entirely new landscape around Morph - they're now standing in a construction yard, with stacks of steel beams and construction equipment visible behind them, along with the slightly more distant buildings of a city.

There's also a huge armored guy standing in the construction yard, who's distinctly confused expression is still visible despite the helmet. "Hey, whuzzat?"]


This is where the X-Men do a lot of our training! It's all fancy holograms set up to put us through our paces. Using the Danger Room, we can plug info about our opponents into the computer and practice fighting them like it's... nearly the real thing. It's not perfect.

[Morph is paying no mind whatsoever to the holographic Juggernaut approaching behind them, who's looking angrier and angrier.]

Stop by sometime if you want to check it out! You don't have to load up a program with enemies in it, that's just what we use it for-

[At that moment the Juggernaut bellows out, "STOP IGNORING ME!", swinging a huge fist at Morph. They promptly drop their device, leaving the view tilted up at a grey, clouded sky as there's the SLAM of an impact that makes the device rattle.]

Whoops! I'm okay! Computer, end program!

[There's another shimmer of light before the view changes to a metal ceiling, the feed cut off shortly after.]



(OOC: The X-Mansion now exists in-game! Here is the info page, and a log for checking out the mansion will be going up a little later.)

[There's a lot to process here, but-]

Are you okay?!

[They just said they are, but that was not a comforting sound.]

Are you able to conjure an enemy within this Danger Room who alters reality?

Imagine it! A simulation within a simulation within a simulation! How deep can we go before we encounter some heretofore unknown divide-by-zero error within the AI?

[Rustling and a soft giggle.]

You must allow me to play with this fascinating alien technology of yours.

Jeez... Be careful, all right? I thought you got flattened for a second there.
endcaller: (Was it worth it?)

[personal profile] endcaller 2024-10-07 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I...but of course I won't break it!

Why would you ever assume I might do such a thing?
endcaller: (transuranic)

...Granted such an experiment may crash your system but worry not, it wouldn't be anything a reboot couldn't fix.

Now Morph, you ought to know out of all the villains we got on that dang system that the Metal Meathead don't like it when your tongue's flappin. You can't change that boy's whinin less he wears diapers.

[Oh good, someone else already made the simulation inside a simulation joke--]

What else does your holo-training thing do? Ultimate Movie Night?

huh, that kind of training reminds me of UA, but we didn't have simulations.

can I check it out sometime? sounds useful.
endcaller: (So this dyslexic guy walks into a bra...)

[personal profile] endcaller 2024-10-07 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
In the relatively unlikely event that my experiments do fry something rest assured that I can fix the damage.

Or if not me someone certainly can. We've quite a few technologists on this star.

Maybe. I don't really mess with it when I gotta train. I let all of yall fix the settings for me.

How good can it be for training if it makes everything you fight weak?
endcaller: (Bullshit makes the flowers grow)

I'll be gentle as a lamb. I promise! Cross my heart and hope to die.

[A low, humorless chuckle.]

Though I must say, 'tis quite an experience having you tell me not to break simulation equipment. My, how times change us.

[And he thought that training with Lal Mirch and Reborn was bad.]

That looks...really intense.

The rest of the place isn't like that, is it?
