that didn't translate I guess. I meant that you guys wouldn't get angry about it like a lot of people here do.

oh. no we would not.

mostly we would probably want to see the powers. and maybe fight for fun then go find drinks. that is about it.

that sounds like a much more reasonable reaction than torches and pitchforks. I'd need a large body of water to show off most of the "interesting" stuff. otherwise it's all pointy teeth and terrifying eyes and stuff.

having any one of us that close to open flame would be a bad idea anyway.

what is the interesting stuff?

talking to fish mostly. anything that lives in the water, actually. well. being able to be thrown through a wall and walk away is pretty interesting too, but not as fun to demonstrate.

you really talk to fish? do fish have a lot to say

i do not know i have lots of fun throwing people through walls.

depends on the fish. a lot of people laugh at "sealife telepathy" or whatever we're calling it now. but is it still funny when I can politely ask a shark to eat somebody? well. it's funny to me anyway. I didn't much like being thrown through the wall last time it happened to me, but I was still growing. might not be as bad now.

i think it is funny.

it was bad before?

good. although to be honest, sharks aren't really into eating humans, so I don't know that I'd actually ask one to eat somebody. but whatever.

and yeah. powers don't always come in all at the same time, and sometimes they take a while to settle. kind of like uh. like when a teenage boy's voice keeps cracking and stuff for a while. I got the durability before I got the different pain levels to go with it. so you could throw me through a wall and I wouldn't be injured, but I hurt like a normal squishy human. fun stuff. especially when it only happened half the time. I won't even get into how often I tore up my mouth with my brand new pointy shark teeth.

bite then spit out maybe. if sharks can spit things out, i do not know much about them.

i did not know that. and that sounds very painful, i am sorry.

sharks bite people and then let them go all the time, actually. humans do a lot of stupid shit in the ocean, unsurprisingly.

it was. I remember a lot of passing out and/or puking from pain during my brief stay at xavier's stupid institute. now though, I end up spitting out teeth a couple times a week without even noticing.

humans do a lot of stupid things in general.

that does not hurt?

nope. not unless I catch one on something and it comes out early. that can hurt a little. I go through them like an actual shark does.

haha, actually. sometimes if I live in a beachy enough place I make "shark tooth" necklaces and sell them to tourists.

you make necklaces out of your own teeth

and sell them.

that is... clever.

it's also weird and gross, but hey. you do what you gotta. it's kind of hard to get actual work when you're visibly a mutant.
