I'm gonna run off and join the circus!!

[xp_daredevil]

There's a Circus Arts studio in NYC.

I know what I'm doing this summer!

....we just won't tell them I'm blind, okay? They'll never notice!

Who's with me!?

but there is a SCHOOL FOR AERIAL STUFF!!!

more than just trapeze! And I CAN GO!!

If we don't tell them I'm blind or whatever. Pretty sure they won't like that part.

We're gonna wind up telling them you're blind. We'll just take a note from Hot Doc Jean and the Prof saying your mutation compensates or something. If we don't tell them and something does happen, I'm pretty sure they can sue. Probably.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

yeah, but see, pretty sure they won't let me do it because I'm blind. USUALLY if you're blind it messes up your balance. Clearly not an issue for me.

I bet their insurance won't cover me.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

That's what the notes from the Doc and the Prof are for. Waiving the need for them to cover you or whatever. You gotta talk to the Prof, at the very least.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I will.

I'm gonna whine now about how it sucks that I have 2 options - tell everyone I'm a mutant so it doesn't matter if I'm blind or settle for the limitations of being blind. And yeah, I know, everyone has limitations somewhere in life...blah blah blah.

but this is still SO COOL

Blah blah blah - life's not always awesome, but it's not always awful, either. Besides, there are work arounds.

How'd you find out about it, anyway?

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. Whining over. I just really hate those two options.

Internet. It's what's for dinner.

At least you have the option to hide that you are a mutant, Matt. Many of us do not.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're right. And I'm not trying to say I WANT to hide, even though yeah, I see where it comes off that way. It's just frustrating I guess to be a mutant where you can't really PROVE your powers. Mine aren't noticeable. So even when I tell people it's kinda like "uh huh, okay, whatever."

So other than being really sharp, do you look odd or something? I've never asked and unless someone specifically mentions it or I can touch them and feel a difference, I never think anyone looks out of the ordinary. Sorry, my blind is showing.

[x-penance.livejournal.com]

It did sound like you wanted to be able to hide your mutancy, but if you did not mean it, that is all right by me.

As for what I look like, my skin is dark red, my eyes are a sort of glowing neon blue and my fingers and toes are very long and sharp, like claws. Usually my hair (which is also dark red) is spiky also, but most of the time it is sort of stiff, like fine wire.

Well, the kids at Salem HS know I'm a mutant and there was a lot "show us what you do!" when I started classes there. And it's like "uh...your heart's beating quickly..." which is lame and most of them thought I was making it all up anyways. So an entirely different set of problems come from not being able to prove your powers vs being an obvious mutant.

I can't really imagine that. Huh. I'll have to kinda think on that I guess, since I can't touch you.
