[Public] Journal Entry: Pietro Maximoff, 8/15/12

[om_quicksilver]

I'm Pietro Maximoff and I suck at introductions, but apparently this is a thing. I'm almost sixteen, I'm from upstate, and I don't want to be here any more than you do. I like fast things, loud things, and occasionally sparkly things. Because shiny.

Just to get this out of the way: I'm aware that I look freakishly like one of the headmasters. And yeah, that's why I got dragged here. Let's never speak of this again.

PS - Don't listen to the old bastard. I am definitely allowed to have caffeine.

[om_perfection]

Oh honey, it sounds like you need Ritalin on an IV drip, not caffeine.

[om_quicksilver]

Astute commentary is astute.

Funny thing about Ritalin--give enough of it to someone without ADHD and it has the opposite effect.

Honey can demonstrate, if you're feeling brave. Or are into property damage. Or both.

[om_perfection]

Touch my property and you'll need a machine to keep you breathing.

[om_quicksilver]

Hey, I was just trying to be a nice guy and take your advice--or warn you what'd happen if I did, and here you go threatening bodily harm.

I think I kinda like you.

(Gotta catch me first.)

[om_perfection]

I'm flattered.

[om_elixir]

Everyone should appreciate shiny things.

[om_quicksilver]

Right? Makes me wanna take 'em back to my nest.

[om_elixir]

Well now I'll know who to blame if I end up somewhere I haven't seen before.

[om_quicksilver]

Oh my god you're shiny? Jealous.

Yeah. Like, don't take out a restraining order or anything, but you might end up in my nest.

[om_elixir]

Shiny enough to see my own reflection in my hand, yup!

Before I go considering the restraining order (jk), I'll ask what kinda powers you've got?

[om_quicksilver]

Superspeed. So it'd literally be like waking up somewhere because I could steal you in like a second. (Um, also JK. Seriously, no restraining order necessary.)

If you tell me you have something on top of being shiny I'll be so jealous I might scream, but go ahead and tell me so I can get it out of my system.

[om_elixir]

I'm a healer. Or something like that, I guess, since the profs seem to think I got a whole lot of flesh manipulating abilities or something. Can't say it's as cool as superspeed, but at least the shiny's there to make up for it.

[om_quicksilver]

Oh my god I hate you.

By which I mean I am super jealous of you and want to be your friend. Which I would never normally admit to in public but seriously, I'm overcome by the prospect of your shiny. Ugh.

[om_elixir]

Ha, well there's plenty of shiny to go around so have at it then. Might as well make friends since we're stuck here.

[om_quicksilver]

"Hey you're shiny and I like shiny, let's be friends." Beats "Nice shoes, wanna fuck?" for a pickup line, right?

And yeah dude. Stuck here. Ugh again, but for real this time.

[om_elixir]

Again? Wait, you've been here before?

[om_quicksilver]

Sorry, no, got ahead of myself. Happens a lot. I meant "ugh again". Because I keep saying that because ugh jealous and now ugh stuck here.

I'll figure out how to talk normally soon. Probably. Maybe.

Ugh.

[om_elixir]

Whatever, talk the way you want 'cause I think "ugh" is pretty legit in this situation.

[om_quicksilver]

Dude, you totally get it. That's awesome. *brofist*

[om_anole]

So I guess we're roommates. I've never shared a room with anyone before should be interesting.

[om_quicksilver]

Holy shit, seriously? And here I am chatting you up on your journal about not disappointing me. Now the pressure's really on. Get your ass up here and let's see if we're going to kill each other or fall in love.

Oh I'm a neat freak. Fair warning. Drives my sister nuts.

[om_anole]

I wanted to give warning first so no one was too freaked out when they saw me.

Uh kill? Love? How about we just survive school?

[om_quicksilver]

I don't know if your lack of ambition and passion is bad, or if it's good because it means there's more room for mine in here. I mean, mine does take up a lot of space.

I guess we'll find out soon. But thanks for the warning, and no worries. I'm on the edge of my seat.

(I usually am, but, like, even more right now.)

[om_anole]

I'm just not myself lately I guess, sorry I haven't been around people for a whole.

I'll head up to the room then, I guess.

Don't fall off your seat.
