[Adults only]

[xp_jubilee]

So, did I miss something? Have teenager vs adult lines been drawn?

I'm pretty sure the Prof. is doing his 'letting people do their thing' non-interference thing he does but seriously.

When I came here I was one of the worst, most horrible brats you've ever encountered. If it weren't for the adults and a whole mess of help and forgiveness I'd be dead.

We don't gotta be all lovey but like, having kids feel like they're ignored or not wanted is a total power keg of bad decisions waiting to happen.

We gotta find a way to live here and with them without goin' mad, right?

Anyone got any thoughts?

I am still here, though not as much as I used to be. I've been spending most of my time on continuing education in the city.

Quentin Quire is a telepath and telekinetic. I haven't spoken to him personally. Currently he needs to work on his telepathy, which isn't something I can help with right now. I think Jean has the most contact with him.

I don't know what Jean's been doing with him, but I know Jessica Jones has been doing some productive work with Quire. He's almost tolerable at the office nowadays.

Good to know. I'm not particularly in touch these days, so I'm not certain who's been handling his training.

That's what I'm here for!

When you're in a better place, I could use your help with my powers. No rush, just... yeah. They're being weird again. Not dangerously so, just annoyingly so.

[x-legion.livejournal.com]

Weird in what sense?

Unfortunately my telepathy is still essentially gone, so I can't just pop the hood this time. It's possible I can rule out some things, though.

How are you doing? I saw you were back but it's been kinda busy as - didn't have time to check on everyone.

[x-legion.livejournal.com]

I'm fine, just occupied with the last steps of my certification. It's a few thousand hours of practical experience.

Weird in that I can now apparently Read something THROUGH something else. Like, if I touch a shirt I can Read the Phone in the front pocket. Which would be great. But I can't control it. It's like being back to square one with my powers. I can control whether or not I Read the shirt, but I have no control over whether or not I read the phone.

Really? Dude, that sucks? Anything I can do?

Thanks, I'd appreciate it.

Sorry, I didn't think to publicize it when I got back. It's just another consequence of what happened earlier this year. It's not incapacitating, but I admit it can be an inconvenience.

That's interesting, though. I wonder why your mind makes a distinction between direct and indirect Reading. Anyway, we can sit down some time and I'll see if there's anything I can do.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Understandable. Glad it's not incapacitating.

No clue, that's why I need the master! Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it.

[x-legion.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it. If nothing else, this sounds like an interesting thing to investigate.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Glad to pique your interest!

I've been working with him. It....didn't go well. But hopefully that might change. He's got a lot of anger to work through.

[x-legion.livejournal.com]

Well, if it becomes an issue let me know. I'm not sure what I could do for him at the moment, and frankly I'm not sure anyone inexperienced should be around my mind right now, but it's an option.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I think I can handle it, but if he becomes too much I'll give you a shout. Quentin's my first psi-student which is a bit of a trial by fire, lol. I might pick your brain later for some pointers on future lessons, should he decide to actually come back. He did something that I didn't tolerate so he flipped me the proverbial bird and stormed off.

[x-legion.livejournal.com]

Ah, one of those. I'll try to remember what worked for David.

Although if all else fails, it sounds like we could ask Jessica.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Well, it's our first lesson. I'm expecting some blowback. But I'm mostly afraid I'm going to run out of ideas or ways to help him learn. It was kind of fun to teach, though. I got to show off my new astral armor.

Good point. :) I like contingency plans.
