[If Nate sounds tired and cranky, it's because he is. Still injured from the mission, having the psychic feedback of everyone grumpy about the whole exploding spaceship thing bouncing around his head - yeah. Not a happy camper here. Which is probably also why he sounds a bit defensive.]

Look, at least nobody died, alright?

[Filtered to Raiden and Nikolas Kamarov | Video]

[...Yeah, he looks about as tired as he sounds. Sorry, new roomies.]

Hi. I'm Nathan. Don't touch my stuff. That goes double for the coffee - and if you do, I'll know.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

I try.

[Sometimes. Now is not one of those times.]

[solitaire]

Not very well, 'parently.

[filtered to Remy]

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

You try stabilizing a ship with TK and then have to listen to the mental noise of everyone who thinks you didn't do well enough and tell me how you feel.

[He's snapping at you because it's safe to, Remy]

permathat;

[solitaire]

Nah, I don't think I will.

See, y'start doin' responsible stuff like that, you got ta live with the consequences after. Not really my style.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Hn. [He knows that's BS, but he's not going to call him on it]

Not a psi, anyway, I suppose.

[solitaire]

There's that. An' last time I fell outta the sky, it didn't go so well for me.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Oh? Have I heard this story yet, or not?

[solitaire]

Not really a story. Jus' a fact.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Falling out of the sky rarely goes well for the person doing the falling. Unless it was intentional, which I'm guessing in your case it wasn't.

[solitaire]

Well, considerin' I can't fly...

Non. Not part a' the plan.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Hey, there are a lot of people who can't fly who think jumping from perfectly functional planes is a great way to spend their free time. Done it myself a few times - granted, the catch is that you usually want a 'chute for that.

If you didn't have one... well, you sure you don't have a bit of luck knack along with the kinetic charge?

[solitaire]

I got luck in spades, homme.

Jus' not always sure what kind it is.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

[Nate snorts] Fair. Seems more good than bad, lately, though.

[solitaire]

_{( He pauses, pulling a face. Being here has helped put a lot about his life into perspective, but he still wasn't exactly happy, at home. )}

Guess y'could see it that way. Better than most people's, anyway.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Better than mine, I think, but I'm pretty sure the shit luck's genetic, there. [Because HIS FAMILY seriously]

[solitaire]

Maybe just' species-wide luck. Horrible all 'round.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Dunno. Sounds like space isn't much better, really. [From what little he's hear from Gamora, anyway]

[solitaire]

If we say everythin' sucks, it kinda means we're givin' up.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Earth still has plenty of things to like about it - this one a little less so, but still.

[solitaire]

If they had better wine I'd stop complainin'.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

I'll remember that if I ever need to bribe you.

[solitaire]

What makes y'think you can afford ta?

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Well. Get in your good favor, maybe?

[solitaire]

Not an easy thing, homme.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Don't I know it.
