*Shrug* Probably. Got any special powers?

Yup...teleportation and healing...by using teleportation, which, well...long story. What about you?

And on a completely random note: steampunk is now my world.

Hmm... Healing, good, teleportation, good... the apple probably won't kill you, then.

As for powers... um, I'm just an apprintice Death. Still learning how to retrieve souls and that. I make wicked fireballs though. My mentor can do cooler stuff, though, he just won't show me.

Steam...punk? What is a steamypunk?

It's like Jules Verne meets Steve Jobs in a future that never happened, but could have.
Basically, it's like a Victorian era Space Age. Wicked sweet.

Allira
*Wide eyes* You lost me, pal. No basic education, see?

Oh, right. Okaaaaay...it's like victorian era, right, with top hats and steam-power and clocks and all that, mixed with modern stuff, like space travel, and nanotechnology and...yeah.

(No, I know what steampunk is. Allira, on the otherhand, is clueless. )

'Kay....

Ummm, right...Of course you do! *clears throat awkwardly*

Nick

Yeah, anywhoo. Totally into that stuff. So...Apprentice Death. Fun stuff! I think.

Plenty of fun. You just ignore the, uh, human bit and you're good. The deamon bit? Yeah, not so fun. What are you?

Oh, just a mutant teen-child trying to run a circus for other mutant teen-children.

Now, that sounds like fun!

That's what YOU think...and it is, sometimes. When your own cohorts aren't trying to kill you. Or government agents are trying to hunt you down to "talk" to you. Hmmph.

Ouch. Yeah, that would tend to put a damper on things... Try an evil devil, intent on, lessee, what was it this week? Oh, right, 1) murder Death (if that's even possible) 2) get rid of me (lots of fun, really,) 3) collect only the souls of the wicked, to help him rule and, uh... something about turning the planet into hell. Not really sure, actually.

So, how'd you get to be mutants?

Oooh, fun!
Well...we don't actually know. We've always kind of assumed that we were some twisted governmental experiment, which was why they were chasing us...but now, I'm not so sure. At all. Because more of us just keep popping up, and we can't figure out why.

Err, evolution at work??
