[Action / Voice]
[Today something strange is going on in the plaza; Billy and Tommy are there and hanging out, chatting awkwardly and messing with their powers. "Billy" is tossing bursts of blue light into the air like fireworks, and "Tommy" is flashing between one side of the plaza and the other, skidding a bit over the pavement like he's out of practice. They don't seem to be there for any particular reason, but if people happen to question it, they're more than happy to strike up a casual conversation. Just don't expect a straight answer...
At some point they split off to visit their usual haunts (the battle dome, the coffee shop, the school, some of the other stores, and in Billy's case, the sky) but they never seem to be very far from one another, for some reason.
Eventually they'll be back at home, and that's when the journal comes out:]
Hey, people, got a question for you. My little bro is really fixated on getting a piercing. It's probably the boyfriend's fault. Anyone know how to do that in a way that won't make him lose an ear? Like, not involving ice and a needle?
Oh my God. Tommy, shut up... okay, well, kind of what he said. Minus the gore.
You're getting holes poked into you, dude, that's gore by definition.
Not if it's done professionally.
Yeah, I'm sure you'll find a real pro on Paper Facebook.
Don't you have somewhere to be? [ With the most put upon, quietly frustrated sigh. ]
With my speed? I'm already there. At the same time. [With a smug tone equal to that frustration.]
Thanks for making this a total wash. Sorry for wasting your time, everyone. If you know the answer just contact me privately.
Hey, are you getting a Prince Albert while you're at it?
OH MY GOD. [Maybe a little over dramatic. The journal is slammed shut.]
(( this is a JOINT POST between Billy
selfhelp and Tommy
dickmoves. At Tommy's request they have SWAPPED APPEARANCES, so Billy is pretending to be Tommy and Tommy is pretending to be Billy. As such, their powers are being faked - Tommy via enchantment and Billy via disguised teleports - and their personalities might not be up to par with what their CR is used to. They're identical twins aside from hair and eye colour (which is easy to fake) so it's a pretty good swap. The game is to see how many people can be pranked! So, you know, have fun with it. Journals used will be
selfmoves and
dickhelp.

[Why does he always get surrounded by people who dodge questions, it is the most frustrating thing ever.]
no subject
or any school for that matter, this is the closest she gets to playing dodge ball, which is a formative part of every child's development process.Also: Dodging Questions and Lying are the family's two biggest pastimes. DON'T FEAR FAMILY TRADITION. EMBRACE IT.]
Because... he knew what was at the bottom of the cliff, and... how high it was. Us going over the cliff was part of the plan. It wasn't-- made up on the fly or... whatever.

[Bad feeling intensifies.]
no subject
How... did we get on this? I thought we were talking about earrings.
no subject
Earrings. That Magneto could "accidentally" rip out of someone's ear.
no subject
no subject
Sure they do. But of course he apologizes for it, right? When all those accidents happen?
no subject
He... promises to make it up to us, yes.
no subject
[Like. At all. It's better than nothing, but it's still not the same thing.]

[What a magical tangled web of Perfect Dad you have weaved in your head, Mom.]
no subject
He's trying to create a new society. ... That's not like-- programming the microwave. Or whatever. He really is busy. Plus. ... I usually only see him during missions. There's not a lot of time for-- chatting then.
no subject
Is that why he has time to tell Pietro about his plans, but not you? For the sake of his 'new society'?

Who says you're not smart?
no subject
no subject
It isn't right.]
I don't think it's that you're not smart, Wanda. I think it's that people look down on you.
no subject
... What?
no subject
If Magneto doesn't have the patience to make sure everyone involved knows and understands his plan properly before the mission starts, then that's his failing as a leader.
no subject
no subject
He's... not sure he's there, yet. But it might be good to ask around a bit, more privately.]
Doesn't it bother you, though? That he treats you like that? Even if you understand his reasons, he's still your father.
no subject
I... do wish that things could be-- like the they were, sometimes. Before he started working all the time on the crusade for mutant rights. ... or even before that. When-- mother and Anya were still alive.
[She would not, normally even mention her mother. And 'Anya' is a name she hasn't dared to speak for years at a time. It sounds weird in her mouth. But Tommy is family. It's ok to talk about family things with family.]
... But! [She tries to follow up quickly, trying to override the surge of emotion in her chest.] It's-- selfish to want to keep him all to myself. He is trying to help the world. What's-- one girl's selfish wants compared to all of mutant-kind's suffering?
no subject
[He pauses there, though, looking thoughtful. It's so unusual for Wanda to be so forthcoming with this stuff... and that's a name he hasn't heard before. He knows next to nothing about the rest of his mother's family.]
Who's... Anya?
