[When Ian gets back to his cot, he'll find a present in a little fabric bag. It's a glittery blue otamatone, and attached is a handwritten note.]

I'm not getting a tattoo of your face yet, but thanks for saving me ❤️

This is the greatest gift I have ever been given, and considering your proximity to my cot, the worst thing you ever could have done to yourself.

[evocation]

aww
aren't you a flatterer?
i expect nightly serenades

[wittingly]

oh, you're gonna get them
every night
whether you want them are not, while I learn how to play this thing

[evocation]

if someone else in the safehouse tries to kill you it's totally not my fault

[wittingly]

don't worry I'll just change a spoon to a fork that should protect me

[evocation]

can't you make like
a shiv?
and listen i'm not a therapist
but am i sensing some power insecurities here?

[wittingly]

if you saw what jyn could do in that bunker
you can phase through stuff
Will can do the mystique glamour face change

I'm not saying it isn't cool, back home I couldn't do this and it would've come in handy
but
I'm just saying, comparatively

[evocation]

who's will?
and maybe you just need to get creative
or practice
we could practice

[wittingly]

a billionaire vigilante who was in the sim with you, you probably seen him around the safe house you just don't know his face

I'm open to practicing, teach
what did you have in mind?

[evocation]

i don't know
i guess it depends on what you want to try to figure out
btw
mystique glamour powers wouldn't have protected will from a monster
at least you can make weapons and stuff

[wittingly]

yeah but mystique pretended to be the president

I guess I could do weapons, in case I had to
Spoon to knife or whatever

but what I really want is to be able to make MORE of something, you know? Not be limited by the constraints of the quantity I'm working with

or like

change material, that would be fucking incredible, like metal to silver or iron to steel or something

or more complex
rearrange whole components to machines, you know, turn a toaster into a taser or something

[evocation]

that seems like stuff you should be able to do
i mean eventually
right?
maybe you just have to keep pushing it until you figure out where the boundaries are
or try to think about it differently

[wittingly]

or I could do like they say in the 90s disney channel original movie Brink and Just Skate Better

I don't know
I'll figure it out I guess

[evocation]

idk what you're talking about but
yeah ian
you're already a badass
just be more of a badass
break your badass limits
duh

[wittingly]

I really feel like we're developing a symbiotic advice relationship
it's kind of like a mobius strip of positivity and encouragement

kyna i don't want to alarm you but I'm pretty sure we might be the pinnacle of ultimate health.

[evocation]

i'm perfect and everyone loves me
which means you also have to be perfect since i like you so much
unless you have some deep dark secret you're waiting to tell me
if so spill

[wittingly]

I do but I don't know if you're ready to handle it yet

[evocation]

come on
you sent me a kazoo cover and we had shots together
that's like a sacred bond

[wittingly]

alright
but I need you to not judge me when I tell you this
you swear?

[evocation]

cross my heart

[wittingly]

I really am not a big fan of cheese
like
it's kind of gross

[evocation]

what?
gross how?

[wittingly]

I don't know man, it just kind of tastes
weird, most of it, you know, like
american cheese, what the fuck is that

and then you have cheddar, and if you melt it, it turns into these gross strings or like gobs of
smushy
gummy
weird

[evocation]

hmm
smart, funny and hot but you have fucking terrible taste
i guess no one's perfect
but you're losing a lot of points
american cheese doesn't even count as cheese
it's like
cheese product
