[Mia is moving houses today! Well, apartment-to-house. After being invited to live with Rogue, Kurt, and their friends, the prospect of not being so lonely at the end of the day sounded wonderful. Of course she said yes.

She spent the past day or two packing up - she doesn't have much - and now will carry boxes from her apartment to the house. It's slow going but she doesn't mind the work; besides, Rogue implied that her new roommates would help out!

As she carries a particularly heavy box along the road, there's a flash of blue, and something that leaves a visible blue streak zooms away from her, off into the village. She can't exactly drop the box and chase after him...but oh, does she want to. The minute she reaches the house she opens her journal and starts writing.]

If anyone sees a blue creature that looks like this

(Mia's drawing is not this good! But it's close.)

could you let me know? He is very...mischievous. His name is Serac. Be careful! He may attack you with ice if you try to catch him.

[Because Serac will be in your house, wreaking your havoc. Enjoy that! He's a fast little guy, and the size that can stand in your palm, and will face a challenge. With ~~fire~~ ice.]

[Rogue nods.]

Yes, very well.

[Talking about Scott is uncomfortable, and she shifts a little bit.]

He just can't open up his eyes without the beams coming out. And they're - strong. They've tunneled through mountains before.

Oh my.

[Mia brings a hand up to tap her chin gently.]

You don't like to talk about him. Let's change to something else. Kitty took me through the wall.

Which means you'll just have to work at that!

[No empathy these days, man.

Dhaos is totally a nonviolent person and would like to avoid just getting the place any wetter than it already is. ...But he has no idea how to deal with tiny creatures freezing up his apartment other than trying to scare them off.

So he'll just fire off a tiny burst of magic at it, like that's going to help.]

Really? Oh! Kurt said you had powers too, like magic? [Kitty is very interested.]

No, Scott's a good guy. [She'd hate for Mia to get the wrong impression.]

But... we were together during Valentine's, so... it's awkward.

Oh heaven's no. I wouldn't want to attack him at all! I was thinking that maybe if I showed he something that he's familiar with...he might be more easier to get to follow me.

[ There's a tone of understanding though. Elementals in his own world were ridiculously powerful. It was practically a death wish fighting against them. Besides Helios wasn't one to do such things anyway. ]

Is he a victim of the uncertainty that comes with peacetime?

No, he is a Mercury spirit who needs to stay entertained.

[The irritation is not directed at Eyes.]

Oh, I understand. [That whole experiment threw so many people.] It's all right, I didn't think you would live with anyone who wasn't...ah, "a good guy."

I can't make my arms any longer!

[Rogue wryly recalls her time with the Brotherhood.]

You might be surprised.

[She shakes her head. The less said on that whole mess, the better.]

So, your first phase, huh? Weird, right?

Certainly. Imagine how much worse it would be if he happened to be a different type of elemental being.

[Like fire! Ouch.]

Then you just need to work out! Build those arm muscles, Mia! Maybe we should make you start doing Danger Room work outs.

[Fortunately he takes no offense, even if it was directed at him.] ... Have you considered taking him to a body of water to entertain himself?

Well, if I see him...how about I call you? Then you can come over and get him yourself.

...No, actually. Thank you, that is a good idea.

Please! I would not want anything to happen if it can be helped.

[Sharp-edged ice is plenty damaging too, Caesar.]

There are Djinn for each of the elements of Alchemy.

It wasn't as bad as the first time Kurt warped me somewhere. ...She was right, it felt like being underwater.

[Most people tend to refer to what she can do as "magic," around here. It's very interesting.]

I am a Mercury Adept; my Psynergy allows me to create water and ice.

[And heal people. But the things Kitty refers to are more likely the offensive things, aren't they?]

Hmm. [Though now he's wondering more about the little critter and what other information he could gather on it.]

How small would he happen to be?

Sure thing!

***

[Pao-Lin doesn't honestly expect to find Serac, but when she approaches the Battle Dome, she notices that the nearby trees are looking oddly icy today...]

No way! That is, like, totally cool. [No pun intended.] I mean, I'm not sure what Psynergy is, but I would love to see what you can do. If that's alright with you.

Out of curiosity, which would you consider the most dangerous?
