[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 - Rogue - laughs a little, obviously more at ease in her own home... while she's away from Scott, anyway.]

No, she doesn't. The worst is when she wants to use the bathroom.

Should I keep that in mind?

Probably. We might need ta get a sign.

Hmm... "Beware of Kitty."

That probably wouldn't sound nice to her, though.

[Rogue laughs.]

I meant 'Occupied,' but that sounds good too.

[This Rogue who laughs is wonderful.]

Is there anything else important I should know about living here?

Don't eat anything Kitty bakes, never try to take off Scott's glasses, and if Kurt BAMFs behind you it is completely fair to throw things at him.

I haven't met Scott yet. He has trouble seeing?

[Rogue sobered a little and shook her head.]

More like - his power is contained by his glasses. He can't turn his eyes off either.

[Pause a beat.]

He shoots laser beams from his eyes.

[Technically they're not lasers, but close enough.]

['Laser' is a new one, but 'beams' she gets.]

...So can he see?

[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.

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, 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."

[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?

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