Witch, Tommy.

[It's nitpicking, but whatever. Without his powers his backtalking is the only weapon he's got right now. He very much doubts he'll be any help during a zombie invasion.]

I don't get why our powers are even gone. Wouldn't we be more useful if we could fight the zombies the best way we know how?

[dickmoves]

Probably easier to control us this way.

[selfhelp]

I guess. But I don't even know if I could do a teleportation spell that big.

[dickmoves]

I still don't get why out of everyone, they decided to nab me and you.

[selfhelp]

...At least they got us both.

[At least neither of them are alone.]

[dickmoves]

[ there's a slight delay in the attempting-to-be-dismissive ] Whatever. I would've preferred Katie.

[selfhelp]

[...Heh. He'd expected that much.] And I would've preferred Teddy, but we'll have to make do somehow.

[dickmoves]

Wolverine would be pretty cool to have in a zombie apocalypse. That guy would rip everything to shreds.

[selfhelp]

Think he'd be allowed to keep his claws and the adamantium? They're not really powers, but his skeleton isn't exactly natural.

[Super hero discussion, a glimmer of normalcy in a zombie apocalypse. Thank god.]

[dickmoves]

What are they going to do, rip it out?

[selfhelp]

Magneto did.

[Is he supposed to call him "Grandfather" now or something? Because it's a hard thing to swallow.]

[dickmoves]

Sick. [ Except that's kind of cool. ]

[selfhelp]

[Yeah that's totally why you're his favourite. Ugh.]

No kidding. Until we figure out how they nulled our powers, though, we probably won't know what to expect. I mean, you can't just... remove mutant powers, right? It's genetic. So they've gotta be disabled.

[He's hoping. God is he ever hoping.]

[dickmoves]

Right. We just got to figure out how they did that. Maybe these walls just keep us from using them, like in juvie.

[selfhelp]

[Billy winces slightly at the reminder; right, Tommy's been through this before.]

Or... some kind of spell, like Doom. There's a lot of ways they could've done it.

[dickmoves]

[ screw that guy ]

This blows.

[selfhelp]

[Billy doesn't argue, but he can't think of much of a response, either. Yeah, it sucks. And yeah, they're pretty screwed like this. Complaining just isn't going to get them anywhere. They need, for once, a plan of action.

Now I wish Kate were here. Or Eli, or even Nate. They're better at this part.]

I think we should try to find more people. Join a group.

[dickmoves]

That's an idea I don't totally hate.

[selfhelp]

Gee, thanks. [Such confidence. Still, at least Tommy isn't letting his bravado overrule his good judgment.] Our best bet is to find people who know this place- if any of them are still alive. Someone must have lived here at some point, though.
