I12DT: Herr Indigo is out, Herr Grün is in.

"I am. Very, very much so. He's sort of an idol figure, really.

...He officiated at my wedding."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 3:09 pm

"So you must be like a kid in a candy store getting his old office, right?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 3:12 pm

"...no, not exactly.

I mean, if anyone can understand that, it'd be you, right? The shoes to fill and whatnot?"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 4:02 pm

"This entire place is his, though. And now he's my boss, really."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 4:06 pm

"So, that makes it even a bit easier for you, then."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 4:07 pm

"Still, if he officiated at your wedding he's got to be cool with this, wouldn't you think?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 5:32 pm

"It really...really doesn't matter if he's cool with it or not. He's not the one who gets to judge."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 5:33 pm

"So that doesn't make it any easier?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 5:36 pm

"It's a mantle that's hard enough to take up without comparing yourself to those who came before you."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 5:37 pm

"Even just the office? I mean... you're not going to be getting a new codename and uniform, right?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 6:35 pm

"I'm certainly not going to go out there calling myself Nightcrawler or anything crazy like that, but the office is the office -- in more ways than one."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 6:37 pm

"Well, you want to talk about what makes it special?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 6:48 pm

"Some of the greats have held this office! From Cyclops down to Seraph, it's a role that brings with it a hell of a lot of responsibility."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 6:53 pm

"You're counting Ryan?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 7:47 pm

"...Well, yeah. He led the X-Men," Will said, as if it were obvious.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 7:50 pm

"He didn't have this office, though."

"...if his wings didn't get in the way, he probably would have had your old office."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 8:01 pm

"It's not the room, it's what it symbolizes."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 8:02 pm

"So you're sure you're not stressing out because this was his office?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 8:10 pm

"It doesn't help, that's for sure."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 8:20 pm

She looked at the sword on the wall.

"Going to take up fencing?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 8:42 pm

"I think I'll leave that one to Kevin..."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 8:45 pm

"He'd probably teach you, you know."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 9:09 pm

"I'm probably more useful as the sword, if I'm honest," Will half-chuckled.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 3:07 pm

"You like to do that, don't you? Or you used to."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 3:09 pm

"It's...complicated," Will said, shifting his weight from one foot to another.

"It's really, really hard to explain -- most people don't even have a grounds for comparison. And then, after my....experience with the Government recently..."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 3:11 pm

"Lost your taste for it, huh?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 3:14 pm

"No...no, that's not it. That's not it at all.

That's what everyone thinks it is...but no..." he trailed off.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 3:18 pm

"So... you want to do it again?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 3:26 pm

"It's almost more than a want...it's..." Will struggled for words.

"This is confidential. STRICTLY confidential. But if it hadn't been against my will, by a bunch of strange people I had never met, who took me when I was unprepared and dragged me somewhere I know not where..."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 3:28 pm

"It's traumatic. It's a violation. I get that."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 3:39 pm

"But that doesn't mean...I mean, if it had been, like you guys instead of them..."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 4:02 pm

"...what do you mean, Will?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 4:23 pm

"I mean....I mean...

Erm..

Let's say I mean there's...potential there to unlock and...it feels good to do so?" Will said, proverbially stepping back a half-step.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 4:24 pm

"So you just... want a friendly environment to try things?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 4:41 pm

"Something...something like that..." Will admitted.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 4:55 pm

"Well that's... I mean, there's nothing wrong with that, I guess."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 5:20 pm

"It's a little bit wrong. It's not...conduct becoming a so and so and whatever."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 5:27 pm

"Why wouldn't it be?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 5:40 pm

"It's...hard to explain. It's...you know." Will looked sufficiently embarrassed.

"It's not just 'a feeling of a job well done' or anything. There's...you know, positive....physical feedback and stuff. When I'm shifted. And it was sort of...I dunno, kicked up a notch when I was, you know, incapacitated. By Black Air, I mean."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Thu Jul 11, 2013 5:47 pm

"Well still, if you wanted to try stuff out, I don't find it creepy or anything."
