Battle Scarred

Roland was relaxing in the sauna after successfully patching things over with Haley. Victory for the old dude!

A towel-clad and Sergei stepped in, hesitating when he sees a form sitting in the steamy room.

"I... err... can come back later if you'd rather be alone."

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 8:34 pm

"Not a private room. You may enter."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 9:43 pm

"Alright," he said as he came over and took a seat. He really hoped it was true that he couldn't rust.

"I can never see worth a damn in these bloody things."

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 10:02 pm

"That'd be the steam, most likely."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 4:54 pm

"Too bloody much steam," he chuckled.

by **Roland Sackville** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 4:56 pm

"If you're not a fan of steam, you may find this room a bit too much to handle."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 5:02 pm

"I never liked it, but it does help."

by **Roland Sackville** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 5:45 pm

"Help? In what way?"

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 8:09 pm

"It soothes some lingering pains that are probably just in my head."

by **Roland Sackville** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 8:51 pm

"Battle scars?"

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 9:02 pm

He held up a metal arm.

"Something like that."

by **Roland Sackville** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 10:28 pm

Roland winced. "That one looks painful."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Sat Dec 13, 2014 3:40 pm

"Now it's more strange than painful... still occasionally feeling the old limbs alongside the new ones."

by **Roland Sackville** » Sat Dec 13, 2014 7:39 pm

"Phantom limb syndrome," he nodded. "That's been known to happen after amputation."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Sat Dec 13, 2014 8:14 pm

"So I've been informed," he answered.

"I'm Sergei, by the way. Sergei Tereschenko. New assistant chief of security."

by **Roland Sackville** » Sat Dec 13, 2014 9:13 pm

"Roland Sackville, history professor.

Security, ey?"

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Sat Dec 13, 2014 9:20 pm

"I was a homicide detective in London. I... needed a career change."

by **Roland Sackville** » Sat Dec 13, 2014 9:32 pm

"I see. Too rough in homicide?"

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Sat Dec 13, 2014 9:38 pm

"After what happened to give me these arms, I was forced out. I'm still angry about it, but after seeing my estranged daughter enroll here... maybe it's a blessing."

by **Roland Sackville** » Sat Dec 13, 2014 11:18 pm

"She's a mutant, too, then?"

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Sun Dec 14, 2014 4:35 pm

"Apparently so."

by **Roland Sackville** » Sun Dec 14, 2014 9:23 pm

"Runs in the family, I suppose."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Sun Dec 14, 2014 10:01 pm

"It seems to," he nodded.

"So... any advice for the new guy? Besides run while you still can?" he chuckled.

by **Roland Sackville** » Sun Dec 14, 2014 10:27 pm

"What kind of advice are you looking for? It's a rather general question."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 2:53 pm

"For dealing with all the weird stuff that gets drawn here."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 3:38 pm

"Well, you were in homicide. You must know how to roll with the punches, yeah?"

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 5:00 pm

"Indeed. Though I've not experienced many punches from supervillains."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 5:14 pm

"Try not to get punched is a good first tip."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 8:01 pm

"It's not the physical danger I'm worried about. That I can take."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 8:31 pm

"Afraid you can't handle a bunch of kids?"

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 8:41 pm

"It's documented fact I couldn't handle one."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 11:08 pm

"Then you may be in the wrong place."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 11:18 am

"Yet it's become the best place to begin repairing my relationship with my daughter. And, hell, being around these kids might teach me something about how to actually do that."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 5:31 pm

"They can be an insightful lot. More than you'd realize."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 8:16 pm

"Though I certainly wasn't at that age."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 8:59 pm

"A modern condition, immaturity."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 9:59 pm

"What's modern about it?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 10:19 pm

"Kids today are too sheltered. Stunts development."

by **Sergei Tereshchenko** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 10:53 am

"I can't exactly argue with that."
