I12DT - Sauna - Finally, I can relax…

by **Melody Martens** » Wed Jun 26, 2013 12:42 am

Melody leaned her head back against the wall and closed her eyes as steam coiled around her body. Spending a week in her ex’s body was probably the most stressful thing she’d done since becoming an X-man. Almost worse than traveling to the future, or being lost in space. At least for those two experiences she had someone to lean on, physically and mentally.

Chloe stepped into the sauna, eager for some time to relax and unwind. She paused for a minute when she saw Melody, and then deciding to brazen it out, walked in and took a seat by the door.

Melody didn't open her eyes when she heard another person entered the room, still just smiling contentedly to herself.

"Hey." she said nonchalantly.

by **Chloe Grant** » Wed Jun 26, 2013 12:58 am

"Hello." Chloe said, a quietly as she could.

by **Melody Martens** » Wed Jun 26, 2013 1:15 am

The peaceful music playing through Melody's mind came to an abrupt end with a record scratch.

Mother. Fucker.

"Hey Chloe," she sighed, trying to sound like she was relaxing rather than that she was exasperated by her presence. She opened her eyes and smiled politely through the steam.

"I can come back later...." Chloe said, uncertainly.

by **Melody Martens** » Wed Jun 26, 2013 1:35 am

how about never? Is never good for you?

Melody shook her head as she stretched a bit. "Don't be silly. Plenty of room in here for both of us."

by **Chloe Grant** » Wed Jun 26, 2013 1:40 am

"Thanks." Chloe said, taking a seat by the door "You're looking well."

by **Melody Martens** » Wed Jun 26, 2013 8:42 am

"Thanks. Good to be back in our own bodies, being a dude did not suit me."

by **Chloe Grant** » Wed Jun 26, 2013 10:10 am

"Yeah, and Derek's proper body suits him better as well."

by **Melody Martens** » Wed Jun 26, 2013 1:07 pm

"That was probably just as awkward for you,"

by **Chloe Grant** » Wed Jun 26, 2013 6:36 pm

"Yeah, it was a bit."

by **Melody Martens** » Wed Jun 26, 2013 6:44 pm

Awkward silence.

still can't stand this bitch...just gotta stay calm....be polite....

Melody closed her eyes and leaned back against the wall.

by **Chloe Grant** » Wed Jun 26, 2013 7:23 pm

"Its nice having my own powers back." Chloe said, trying to break the awkward silence.

by **Melody Martens** » Wed Jun 26, 2013 8:48 pm

Melody didn't bother to open her eyes. "Yes. Though I didn't have too much trouble with Derek's...we have a sort of similar....way of making stuff happen I guess."

Silence.

"Did lose the best way to blow off steam though."

by **Chloe Grant** » Wed Jun 26, 2013 9:34 pm

"Yes, not being able to blow things up must have been a trial."

by **Melody Martens** » Thu Jun 27, 2013 12:07 am

Must have been interesting having a non-bird-sized brain for a week. Do you miss it or are you too stupid to notice its absence?

Melody kept her eyes closed, but clenched her jaw slightly.

"Who doesn't like fireworks?"

by **Chloe Grant** » Thu Jun 27, 2013 1:56 am

"That is a good point." Chloe said, continuing, in a tone of polite interest "Can you make colored lights and things."

by **Melody Martens** » Thu Jun 27, 2013 9:19 pm

"I haven't tried very hard to change colors, but so far seems to just be blue."

by **Chloe Grant** » Thu Jun 27, 2013 11:03 pm

"Blue is nice." Chloe said.

by **Melody Martens** » Fri Jun 28, 2013 10:39 pm

"I like it. Matches the eyes, especially when they glow."

by **Chloe Grant** » Fri Jun 28, 2013 11:29 pm

"That is a bit freaky."

by **Melody Martens** » Sat Jun 29, 2013 10:09 am

"Says the girl who can turn into a velociraptor?"

by **Chloe Grant** » Sat Jun 29, 2013 4:37 pm

"Deinonichyus." Chloe corrected

by **Melody Martens** » Sat Jun 29, 2013 10:16 pm

"Dinosaur, either way," she said dismissively.

by **Chloe Grant** » Sat Jun 29, 2013 11:03 pm

"I still have feathers, though." Chloe said "So people know its me."

by **Melody Martens** » Sun Jun 30, 2013 1:56 am

"The feathers make it no less frightening."

by **Chloe Grant** » Sun Jun 30, 2013 2:15 am

"Of course they don't." Chloe said "Feathers are meant to be intimidating."

by **Melody Martens** » Sun Jun 30, 2013 2:29 am

"My point exactly. Feathery Dino is way freakier than eyes giving off some light."

by **Chloe Grant** » Sun Jun 30, 2013 2:49 am

"But dinosaurs are meant to have feathers, and eyes don't usually glow."

by **Melody Martens** » Thu Jul 04, 2013 9:11 am

"Dinosaurs became extinct millions of years ago."

by **Chloe Grant** » Thu Jul 04, 2013 1:49 pm

"Rubbish. They just evolved into birds."

by **Melody Martens** » Thu Jul 04, 2013 2:22 pm

"Yeah. A few types. The rest all died ."

by **Chloe Grant** » Fri Jul 05, 2013 12:52 am

"And the feathered raptors are the ones that evolved."

by **Melody Martens** » Sat Jul 06, 2013 12:19 am

"Evolved. Millions of years ago. Long before anyone was around to see them. So you still win at being creepy."

by **Chloe Grant** » Sat Jul 06, 2013 12:31 am

"Oh, surely its at least a tie."

by **Melody Martens** » Sat Jul 06, 2013 1:02 am

"I think they just look nice," she said, forming a few small bombs in her outstretched palm, which did light her eyes up with a bright though rather fetching glow.

by **Chloe Grant** » Sat Jul 06, 2013 2:09 am

"Maybe, if one didn't know that they meant you were about to blow something up."

by **Melody Martens** » Sat Jul 06, 2013 2:50 pm

"And perhaps you'd be less terrifying if you didn't turn into a mindless predatory prehistoric beast and try to maul people."

by **Chloe Grant** » Sat Jul 06, 2013 4:20 pm

"I'm not mindless." Chloe said "And I'm getting better at controlling my aggression in that shape. Now I only maul people if I would want to do it otherwise."
