text; backdated to tuesday night (27th)
[he's lost track of time since his arrival. bar the few, brief conversations he's had on the network during his breaks from standing watch over charles' pod, he hasn't spoken to many people yet. he hasn't seen a need to. not while he's still trying to work out what to do next. he knows that charles would be disappointed in him if he knew how little he'd done so far. that he'd spent all this time mourning the loss of someone that hadn't actually belonged to him for years. or was that just months now? he doesn't know anymore.
but regardless, he's forced himself to leave again. this time, for good. until he knows just how to get charles out of the pod, he knows he can't go back. not to mention that already, there's already another problem he needs to deal with.
more than one, really.]
If there are any others here who know a man named Erik Lehnsherr (or Magneto) in their home worlds, now is the time to mention it.
[yes, it's text only right now. no, that isn't changing for any of you yet. sorry?
okay, hold on. you're getting that other question too. the sooner he gets the answers he needs, the better.]
Are there any people here familiar with the technology used to contain those trapped aboard the ship?
I need a way to open one of the pods without harming the person inside.
[and then on to those...other issues.]
[locked to xaviers]
I apologise for my absence since my arrival. There was something that needed to be take care of first.
Charles, if your offer of somewhere to stay still stands, I think I'd welcome it right now.
[and then reluctantly tagged on-]

Thank you.

[If so, Todd is going to be an unhappy camper. He doesn't like Magneto very much, even if he does kind of want to impress him so he won't be left behind. Again. But the Magneto he knows is kind of scary.]
[permatext]
Tell me about the Magneto you know.
no subject
[Or at all. He doesn't think he's actually shared a word with the guy.]
i get mystique givin me my orders instead.
no subject
And what year was it before you arrived here?
no subject
[Yeah, he means alternate reality. The Toad can't spell.]
no subject
It was 1957 before I was taken from my world.
no subject
[He knew Magneto was old, but not that old! He's not sure what to think about that. At least if this guy isn't that old, maybe he can't boss anybody around. ... then again, Pietro bosses people around a lot, and he's Todd's age. Still, this isn't his boss. Not yet.]
neway im the toad. im on ur team when u get to my time.
and now permalocked;
[it may seem like bragging, but it's instead a statement, meant to make it clear that he still isn't to be tested. he may not know exactly what the relationship between toad and magneto is like, but there's clearly a reason that they're working together. one he won't find out for himself for a few more years, once he's back home again.]
Tell me about yourself, Toad.
no subject
im a jumper. i can get to the roof of a twostory buildng easy. plus i stick to walls and i got this wicked tongue. i can spit this sticky goo stuff to muck up machinry or get in folks way.
[Trust the Toad of all people to know how to spell tongue properly, but not machinery.]
no subject
well, try to.]
Impressive.
Why did you choose to join Magneto rather than the X-Men?
no subject
[Not that his friends often were, either, but that's beside the point.]
no subject
So you only chose to side with us because you were offered somewhere to stay. You have no belief in the cause?
no subject
[Which is supposed to be an agreement in the cause, in general, even if it's a bit awkwardly worded. It doesn't help, though, that his Magneto and Mystique have never been entirely clear on "the cause" with him.]
no subject
no subject
no subject
That won't be allowed to happen here. If you wish to use your abilities, use them. If you find yourself in danger because of it, come to me.
no subject
[There's a pause, then a second text comes through.]
but thanks.
[Since hey, that's nicer than the other Magneto ever was....]
no subject
You're aware of the Outer Authorities and their technology, I trust?
no subject
yeah i heard of em. guess there what messed up all th buildings an stuff here. lots of guns an flying cars and things.
[The collars, though, nobody's told him about.]
no subject
They also have a device capable of suppressing mutant abilities.
no subject
[Because the thought of losing his jumping is just... painful, man, it really is. Would it keep his tongue from working, too? Horrors!]
no subject
[in other words, don't go and do something stupid, toad.]
no subject
[Todd isn't about to go getting himself into trouble that easily. Unlike some mutants, he mostly gets into trouble on accident.]
no subject
[which is why he needs to make sure that toad stays safe. or at least knows who to call if things do go wrong.]
no subject
theres other peeps with other powers not just mtants. kinda weird huh?
[He feels like he probably ought to at least warn the guy about that. So he won't be too surprised.]
