[Being in a new world is cool and all, but also sucks when everything you see is still a shade of red. Figures that the first time he's away in some new place he can't fully appreciate it, although, maybe he doesn't want to considering that stupid but truthful parchment he got referencing an incident that he's not exactly proud of.

How do they even know??

So excitement is honestly at an all time low and he's also sort of angry?? And the best thing to do when you're angry is clearly use this charm device and just say dumb shit--]

so who else is a freak here

what kinda freaks you talking?

we got magic freaks, murder freaks, long haired freaks, self-important freaks, and your generally fucked up freaks. so what kind of freaks you talking about?

[laserguy]

[He didn't know there would be options... also a little alarming to hear 'murder freaks???' Like that's just being a murderer.

She didn't mention mutants though. Which, great.]

None of the above. Guess you can add a new category. Just put me as freak freak.

[grappler]

that's kind of broad, don't you think? anyone can be a freak freak.

[except her, because she's an Angry Freak.]

i probably missed a few kinds of freaks but i dunno, i don't know everyone here.

[laserguy]

If the shoe fits.

But sure, in the interests of anyone that's like me, we can be 'born with an ability freak.' Or just ability freak? The former doesn't have a good ring to it. Better than long haired freaks, though, didn't know having long hair was such a big deal.

[grappler]

long haired bitches is a big deal when he tries to make the boogeyman appear in the woods or some shit.

so is it like magic freak-adjacent or something? gonna have to give me more substance than that.

[laserguy]

[Scott stares at his charm for a few seconds because what the hell.]

Okay, you got me there. That's really weird.

No magic, it's just. Part of our DNA or something like that.

[Maybe he shouldn't talk about mutants so freely, but it's sort of common knowledge back home with varying levels of acceptance. Scott thought things were pretty cool until some shit things were brought to his attention. Guess it's not surprising though. This person will hopefully be chill about it.]

[grappler]

oh okay. it's close enough, it's all weird shit that i don't have to deal with in my world. so magical-adjacent freaks would kinda do the trick.

[laserguy]

Didn't teach it in high school?

But fine, sure. Whatever. Even though it's not accurate at all.

[grappler]

didn't go to high school so who knows?

you guys still all have wild shit up your sleeves, so close enough to me. hope you find your brand of freaks though, but you'll probably still fit right in even if you don't.

[laserguy]

Well, you didn't miss out on much.

Great, thanks. [The charm didn't catch his sarcasm, but what can you do.] So, what category of freak are you putting yourself in? Sounds like you know enough of them.

[grappler]

ehhhh i dunno, probably fucked up freak. don't take any shit freak. i think that would work.

[laserguy]

[By definition, are all freaks 'fucked up?' Maybe some more than others, but eh, Scott's not here to debate schematics.]

That's not a bad category to belong to, at least the second one.

[grappler]

[kinda going towards the "ptsd" freak, but she doesn't know what that is, so fucked up freak it was.]

i don't think so either. more people need to be in the second option's camp, if you ask me.

[laserguy]

Wish we could just tell that to whoever's in charge here and just let us go home.

[grappler]

sad to say, whoever's in charge is kiiinda hard to get to.

as in, a few months in and no one's seen those pieces of shit.

[laserguy]

[Great.]

So. They brought us here, handed us an accusatory parchment, and just fucked off?

[What assholes.]

[grappler]

bingo.

some jail, huh? but at least they don't beat the shit out of you here.

[laserguy]

[Oh god that would've sucked. He's never been in actual jail before and guess that could've happened to them.]

I would fight back and kick their ass. That's like, an abuse of power.

[Actually Scott's not sure if he'd want to use his optic blasts still, but why admit that out loud.]

[grappler]

hard to kick their ass when they have all the power.

some of the other inmates deserved it an ass kicking, though. that's how i got a lot of my frustration out.

[laserguy]

so you really were in prison before?

what did you do anyway?

[grappler]

i killed someone with my bare hands and ate their brains.

[Vi no...]

[laserguy]

[.........]

Okay, I get the hint. I won't ask again.

[grappler]

i don't really care. it's just more entertaining than telling people i was kidnapped and tossed in a cell for fucking forever.

[laserguy]

[Jesus the fuck.]

Damn, that's uh. Really messed up.

[Now he feels awkward and bad about all this. No wonder she went with that original explanation. Does he ask her about her time in that cell?? Probably not...]

Well, are you gonna tell me what brains taste like or what.

[grappler]

[her life is amazing.

but she sees what he's doing, and smirks a bit.]

it's like if cotton candy were meat. weird as hell aftertaste, too.
