"Oh I will honey. After the sugar rush," she waves a doughnut, "comes the sugar crash! I will be out for the night!"

"Blades from your hands?! Hmm, like The Velveteen Wolf of the Y-Men? But you say they are not like that. So if you poke me in the leg, will it do anything? That is not my mind? So does that mean you have to poke me in the brain? Sorry, I don't mean to sound stupid, these things have never come up for me before."
She pokes fingers in the air trying to imagine what it might be like to have "mind daggers".

"Are they destructive or are they for helpful purposes? Like a psychic brain surgeon! Can you paint pictures into my imagination? Hmm, no I guess you would call that mind brushes."

@Cythi
Having missed her friend's uneasiness around someone, Virginia is a slight bit unsure what Cythi is apologizing for. And yes, she decides not to delve into feelings, it is too late in the day for that.
"Come on over and join us. We are discussing ... things. But it is hard to grasp. Well for me that is. Mutant powers, men, none of it makes sense." She continues thinking about what Cythi is explaining.

Cythi moves over to her best friend, "I am afraid I can not give much in input on those items."  She says really having no data other than what her powers were and what Virginia could do.  It was not her place to say what Virginia can do and she is pretty open on her powers including the new one she discovered that very day even though she does not fully understand it.

"Nothing like that. They are pure mental energy." She said in her plan flat emotionless tone. "Yes, if I poke you, anywhere, it'd be like I poked your brain with a knife. So, imagine how poking your arm with a knife feels, but on your mind instead. It's probably because everything in our body is linked to our brain...?" She shrugged, it wasn't like she really knew. "Do you want to see them?"

"The mind daggers are...destructive to the mind, but not to anything not alive." Then she nodded to the question about painting pictures in her mind. "I can do that too. They will seem very real too."

She then looked towards Cythi, then emotionlessly said. "I am sorry if I said or did something earlier that caused you to run off." She wasn't sure what she could have said, but she still felt bad.

"You did not.  The issue is with me and the way I was raised is all."  She says and in turn to prove it creates a duplicate of Virginia's drink.  "This is actually getting easier although I am not sure what all I can create?"  She then closes her eyes and makes one more cup, this time hot chocolate.

"I'm glad I didn't." She said with a simple nod to Cythi. "Sometimes people take the way I talk, in odd or bad ways. So I thought...you know..."

"No you are definitely all good by me!" She says letting the situation not get any worse.  "Are there any pastries left?"  She asks looking at Virginia not being sure she can make one or not yet.

"I think she took them with her, but I grabbed an extra one before she left. Want it?" She offered it to Cythi, as she spoke in that flat tone, looking at her with those eyes that glowed a soft blue.

[OOC: Virgina left a couple posts back. lol Left these two all alone. Said something about watching TV in her post.]

Feeling invisible Virginia nudges the platter of tiny doughnuts forward. She looks at her arms wondering if she might BE invisible to them! They will think a ghost moved the plate!! She waits to see to see how they react!

"You hadn't talked in so long, I thought you a statue." She said, simply, to Virginia.

"Thank you very much Virginia.  I was so looking forward to this in a way.  Although you know what would make these better?" She says taking a moment pause.  "Bacon!"

"...bacon coated donut's sound gross." She said flatly, but there was actually a small hit of emotion in that voice then.

Virginia is a bit surprised and disappointed when the other girls speak to her. She thought for certain a strange new power of invisibility had emerged!

"....sounds Deeelicious! That would be like meat candy! Sex for your taste buds! Add an egg and you would have breakfast! We should open up an eatery! I swear this show is destined for the Food Network!"

Virginia says all of that in a silly manner not meaning to be serious.

"I honestly do not think I would add an egg.  I think that would ruin the doughnut."  She stops and thinks about it before making a face at the thought.

"And I am not sure it would be like sex but then again I would...."  She stops herself, "I just do not think that is the case either way!"

"I wouldn't know anything about sex...  I do anything overly emotional and I'm libel to hurt or worse whoever I am with. As to your meal plan, I reiterate my previous vote of gross." She said simply, regaining her normal stoic emotionless tone.

"Your opinions are valid. I am just saying I would do it. The bacon with doughnuts and the sex, both!" She laughs and then looks around. "There are no cameras recording this are there?"

"I don't think there are.  But I have no qualms admitting anything on camera.  Mainly as really I don't think I have anything to hide."  Cythi was different when a certain person was not around.

It is at this point she grabs the precious pastry and actually has some of it.

"I have nothing left to hide. When I was arrested the loss of control of my abilities was very public." She explained emotionlessly, with a shrug.

"Oh my..." Virginia is not sure what having nothing left to hide means but implications are wide.

"I am not sure if I have anything to hide per se. Let's just say I would prefer to manage perceptions when possible."

Virginia hops up and goes to the refrigerator. "Is there any bacon in here? I did not get any since I knew B.I. was down the road. I should get some in case of an emergency."

She pokes around the fridge for a moment and comes back to the table empty handed. "The rest of those doughnuts are yours," speaking to the both of them. "I will get some more tomorrow."

She slurps at her latte trying to decide if she is ready for bed or not.

Cythi herself eats the doughnut little pieces at a time.

"I do not think I could make bacon as I have a feeling I am restricted to what I can make.  At least that is the feeling I get."  She says as she looks at the doughnut and then focuses for a second thinking and without warning.



This definitely gets her eyes wide open.

"So like yeah, if you eat that, you are definitely having the same thing as sex!"

Virginia eyes the cheesecake with desire but decides to not partake.

She wishes everyone a goodnight and bounces up the steps. She is asleep and off to Everland within fifteen minutes.

"If it is like having sex would that not be boring.  I imagined sex being more fun?"  She says even as she creates a second one for Marie.

"Have a wonderful night Virginia.  And thank-you for everything today!"

"She is obsessed with sex. If I was that obsessed with sex, half the city would likely be...." She said emotionlessly, with a simple nod, leaving the sentence hanging like that.

She then looked at the offered cheesecake, taking it. "Thank you."

"I don't think she is obsessed.  She just probably has had the experience that I am guessing neither of us had.  Still mine is born out of how I was raised why but that is a story for another day!"  She says with a smile.

"You are welcome.  I just hope it tastes as good as it looks."  She says before actually trying some, "And it does!"

"I have not been here a day, and she has mentioned that one thing or another is as good as sex more times in the last hour then donuts she had eaten." Marie pointed out emotionlessly. "I have a legitimate reason for not having sex, well, at least for the last month. Before that I was just being a good girl...  Well, as good as a girl that hung out with the people I did could be." She considered something for a moment, it was obvious she was thinking.

She then looked at her, then at the cheesecake. Finally she takes a bite. "It is good. That is an interesting ability you have."

"Thank-you very much although mostly my powers consist of teleporting.  I am not sure on this ability though as I have never used it.  Still it has some fun advantages so far." She smiles eating a bite of the cheesecake.

"She is the closest thing I have had to a best friend so I am thinking you are saying I should ask her.  Maybe she will tell me if something is up?"
