WHO: Heine (
kampfgeist) & you
WHAT: July, generally
WHERE: all over the place!
WHEN: the month of July, minus event
WARNINGS: TBD
baby's first catch-all log... starters to come as the opportunity arises, that's how this works, right?

They must, but the truth is nobody knows what it is. They don't tend to include an explanation when they give one.
[Or even like, a greeting.] But I wonder where you fit in. Mutated, perhaps?
no subject
heine nods. ] Sounds about right. [ those with power rarely feel the need to justify their actions to those with less, whether we're talking gods or just folks with too much money.
the question being asked so straightforwardly makes heine blink—he's never had someone call him out so... almost nonchalantly before. (it's weirdly refreshing?) ]
Sort of. But the science experiment kind, not the fetish mutant kind. [ after a second's pause, he reaches up to tap at the back of his neck, over the bandages wrapped around his throat. ] Genetics make me strong and fast, implant makes me heal.
no subject
Huh. [Willful or not doesn't matter, not really, but he could tell Heine had an edge.] It would make sense to pair those things together.
[So his body could handle the greater exertion he places on it.] How much compared to the average person?
no subject
Here, or back home? [ because those two situations are very different! but then again, alhaitham is already familiar, presumably, with the limitations of the city, so heine assumes he's probably asking about normal circumstances. ]
I never compared, exactly. [ the scientists that made him undoubtedy had records of his performance in comparison to a baseline, but heine hadn't bothered to take those with him when he ran. ] But a lot, I'd guess.
no subject
Genetic makeup is a lot more deep.
He stares at the waning bruise much longer than is really polite but does, eventually, shift his gaze back to Heine's face proper.] I see.
no subject
fortunately for alhaitham, heine isn't really concerned with the limits of propriety anyway, so the staring doesn't bother him. he gestures vaguely to the city. ]
Seems like they at least tried to take all our weapons. [ including the inherent ones. ]
no subject
Mm, but people are resourceful. [So they'll find ways to get violent even if you take away their actual weapons and powers.] Though it would be better to not have to, I doubt we'll get that lucky. Do you plan to continue scheduling fights in the future?
no subject
I might. Unless we get our shit back I'm going to need to keep my skills sharp.
[ plus, it's pretty good stress relief! ]
Why, you want to come back for more?
