<33 ps sam is scandalized by eren's lack of taste in movies

[sugoooi]

What!! That movie was great, they saved the world and solved the time mystery...! And they won the lottery in the end! [ Because that's clearly the most important part of what he was trying to say here. ]

Just--auuugh, you can know things, but don't be mean about them! "Bad dogs aren't born bad, they're made"!

sadly, his zealot caretakers did not show him many good movies

[garganteren]

I don't even know what movie you're talking about! Why was there a lottery?

[He's so confused that he forgets to be angry again. This is apparently having a calming influence on him, somehow.]

I don't want anyone to be mean about them. I want citizens to be protected, and that's what the MRA is for. Some people just make it sound bad to discredit it, so it won't get made a law.

let him introduce you to the healing power of ben afflick

[sugoooi]

The lottery was there to win back the money he lost at the beginning of the movie of course! [ You know, the part he didn't explain at all until now. ]

Anyway, mutants are citizens too so if we're going to make give them an MRI [ that's the wrong word Sam ] then it should be good for them too.

no, he doesn't want to learn about ben affleck!

[garganteren]

I still think it sounds like a dumb movie!

[Nothing he heard has made him revise his opinion, so there.]

It's not about being good for everyone, it's about identifying dangerous threats to protect innocent people! But it is for the good of mutants, I guess. It'll help control the dangerous ones, and the other ones will look more reasonable if they cooperate.

[Sure, that's exactly how it would happen!]

but he has paved the way for you........ http://xavier-institute-ooc.dreamwidth.org/20472.html?threa

[sugoooi]

Are you sure that is how that would turn out........ [ HE HAS SOME SERIOUS DOUBTS HERE MISTER, just look at the whole southern state...thing... Some of them still think slavery should be a thing?????? ]

no, why would you do this

[garganteren]

No, I'm not sure! But it's better to have protections in place than nothing!

I'd think better of mutants if they registered. And I'd register!

he's saving your soul

[sugoooi]

[ Eren that is such an unnecessarily fierce expression!! Sam jumps and shrinks back from him and everything. ]

I...I'm sorry... [ For being a mutant and for not having registered even though he doesn't really want to, and for you being a bully. ]

his soul is perfectly fine!

[garganteren]

[He's not being a bully! He's just emphatic, this is how his face goes! Okay, maybe he is being a bully, but he doesn't mean to be. Eren backs off a bit when the shrinking happens.]

I know it's not your fault. You probably don't want to hurt anyone, right?

[For a moment, he sounds almost hopeful. It's still hard for him to think of mutants as people, even if he is one.]

But that's why we've got to be extra careful! And do everything we can to make sure no more innocent people get hurt. And we should sign up, even if it makes things hard for us. Because it's worth it.

no it is tiny and grumpy

[sugoooi]

But having people who don't like me know about me and where I live is scary... [ Plus, he's not exactly sure anything he could ever do would protect people. ] I can't even do anything to normal people anyway!

no way, his soul is large with love for humanity and hatred of mutants!

[garganteren]

You live here! And everyone already knows people who live here are mutants!

[There he goes, getting emphatic again...]

mutants are humans too!!

[sugoooi]

I'm not a Bad Guy! [ Don't make him cry Eren he is fierce when he cries. Eye of Tiger shit. ]

no they're not!!!

[garganteren]

I didn't say you were, I just said you live here! So obviously everyone's gonna know about you!

eren love yourself!!!!

[sugoooi]

You're making it sound like that makes me one! You live here too y'know!!

no never!!!!!!

[garganteren]

Aren't you a mutant?

I am too, even though I don't want to be.

DO IT OR HE'LL LOVE YOU FOR YOU

[sugoooi]

Eh? Yeah, I mean...I guess so. [ He is very pathetic as far as mutants go mind you, but... ] I don't think I'm very good at it. But just because I go here doesn't make me bad, and it doesn't make you bad either!

[ However. Sam is going to point right up at Eren, at his chest and everything like this is the most super-dramatic wisdom he could impart on anyone, ever. ]

Being a bully is what makes you bad!

he doesn't want to be loved by some mutant!

[garganteren]

It doesn't matter if you're good at it or not, you are one.

[Though it's better to know he's not one of those dangerous ones.]

Like me. And I am a danger to society.

I'm not a bully! I didn't do anything to you, it's just my opinion!

shut up and accept your free hug

[sugoooi]

[ He is the epitome of not-dangerous, let him tell you... ]

You yelled it at me... All, "everyone who knows you live here knows you're a villain!!" Just like that, with a face like this!

never, now go away!

[garganteren]

I meant everyone here knows you're a mutant, not a villain!

[Although he kind of implied those are the same thing!]

And I didn't look like that at all!

/banzai

[sugoooi]

You totally did...! It was super-scary! [ Well, super-rude more accurately but whatever. He is sure a face like that could make children cry. ]

[garganteren]

I'm not scary! I didn't do anything!

[No Eren, you're scary, and you were yelling.]

[sugoooi]

Have you looked at yourself in the mirror??

[garganteren]

I don't look at myself in the mirror when I talk! I'm not weird.

[sugoooi]

You're terrifying: I promise. [ Practising his delivery in the mirror would probably help a great deal actually. ]

[garganteren]

Good, I don't mind if mutants are scared of me! Maybe they should be!

[Eren really shouldn't just say whatever comes into his head when he's agitated. And yet, he does.]

[sugoooi]

[ Don't worry Eren, you will be reformed. ]

But...you're a mutant too right? You shouldn't scare the people who'll probably try to understand you! Besides, you should want to scare everyone equally if you have to do it! Picking one group just because you don't like them isn't fair.
