_{( It’s a voice post, scratchy at first as Rogue clears her throat. )}

Ah, hello. Y’all really know how to make a girl feel welcome, don’t you? The view in this place… it’s fantastic. _{( They obviously can’t see the view, but she’s sitting on one of the upper levels in an apartment in the Wood Sector. The view is fantastic. )}

Everyone’s been real helpful, so far, but there’s something I need that I couldn’t ask the tour guides about… not without explaining, at least.

_{( If the video was on, her bright red cheeks would be entirely visible. Which may be the reason it isn’t on, come to think of it. )}

I need some other clothes. Anything long, with sleeves… and gloves. I’d get it myself, but. I can’t. I know there’s a market near here, and if you’re willing I’ll give you my size and…

If you could bring it here, where it’s less crowded, it’d be better. I’ll pay you back, help you out with something if you need it. And I’d be real grateful.

What? Naw... I wanted to be Avalanche, but it was already taken by some evil asshole mutant. Damn waste, if you ask me.

That's kind of weird. I have a teacher called Rogue with the same accent.

[donttouch]

...you're a mutant? I've never heard of you.

_{( Side-eyeing that last bit, though. )}

[zerotoawesome]

... Wait, are you actually Rogue? [because obviously she should know if she's the same person as the one that he's thinking of.]

[donttouch]

Am I who I just said I was? Uh, yeah.

[zerotoawesome]

Jeez, how old are you now?

[donttouch]

Thirty-seven.

[zerotoawesome]

... You're either messing with me or the most honest girl I've ever met.

[donttouch]

Well, I hate to break it you, but you're far from the most annoying boy I've ever met.

The day's still young, though.

[zerotoawesome]

Give it time, Rogue. I'm just getting started.

[...]

Just so we're clear though, people touching you ends badly, right?

[donttouch]

_{( Her response comes after a moment, after she's decided whether or not to acknowledge that truth. )}

That's the long and short of it, yeah.

...so you really know someone like me?

[zerotoawesome]

Yeah, you're my teacher. I guess you will be sometime in the future... Unless this is some messed up universe situation like with Storm.

[donttouch]

I'm really not the teaching type.

And if you mean the Storm I was just talking to, then, yeah. She and I are from the same place.
