[ With no introduction... ]

back home, one of the main things I used to do was train people to control their abilities - i've spent quite a number of years teaching myself control through various techniques, as it's pretty essential for me to keep things in check.

in a bid to feel useful to the community, interest check:

anyone want training sessions? whether you have abilities you're struggling with, or are just looking to get some more control over yourself, I can help.

[Or at least, try to. ]

Fair enough, but I think you have to enjoy them ironically to be a proper hipster.

[tanker]

being a true hipster is apparently a lot of effort

i'll stick to 'new age hippie'

[thestarling]

That seems reasonable. What's your stance on granola?

[tanker]

nutritious, but kind of unfortunate
a staple of my diet these last few years and i'm looking forward to a stack of pancakes

[thestarling]

I hate to tell you this, but I don't think you're a very good hippie either.

[tanker]

I'm an ex-soldier who does yoga and favor pacifism

but I'll smash through stereotypes

[ Fingerguns. Look at him, showing some of that sense of humor. ]

[thestarling]

As long as you have a solid plan.

[tanker]

i'm that kind of guy, the one with a plan

[thestarling]

A cunning plan?

[Look, he can't just leave that one sitting there.]

[tanker]

you could put a tail on it and call it a fox

[ ...he'll blame only catching vintage very late night tv while in the Underground for that one. ]

[thestarling]

Good to know. And excellent taste in shows, incidentally.

[tanker]

wouldn't say I know it very well, but have seen too many re-runs while awake in the middle of the night. Funny stuff.

[thestarling]

We do have our shining moments of comedy here and there.

[tanker]

oh, you're British?

[thestarling]

I am, yeah. Londoner.

[tanker]

oh, cool. Never been to Europe, myself. Would love to, though.
