Scene #693:

Owner	Pose
Finna	"Never seen 'em before. Know even less about where they're from or WHAT they are!" Finna asides at Miss Militia. But in the same few seconds she's ambling over to Jonothon and putting a hand on his shoulder. "So.... you're an interesting one.... you'll be hanging out with the capes here?"
Jonothon Starsmore	Jonothon looks up at Finna (up because he's still seated, she presumably isn't) and nods. "I kinna ran inter a couple 'o those villains they were talkin' about. A man and woman, seemed like she gave 'im pyrokinesis." By the sound of it, he's used to talking about mutant powers in similar terms as Armsmaster's world. "So now I'm curious. And might end up being targeted, so better if I keep an eye on things here."
Finna	"Urgh... you use the same weird words as Armsmaster." finna complains a bit. She doesn't look like she's from around here at all. And in fact, her spoken language is nothing of Earth at all. She pllops down in the next chair over though and gives him a sour look. "But something tells me you don't need to worry about most trouble." Her gaze is harsh and a tad accusatory. As if something about him disappointed her. Or was just weird.
Jonothon Starsmore	Jono gives a sheepish look. "Er... the ability to manipulate fire, I mean," he explains. He blinks, though, as she stares at him so. "Eh? W-well, I'm more concerned about what 'appens if these blokes try ter find me an' can't. But what makes yer say that?" he inquires. He can't help but hunker down at that look. Disapproving looks tend to poke him in the sensitives, figuratively speaking.
Finna	"Your power has more to it than that fiery light. Maybe! It's ust a hunch. But they turn out right more often than not!" Her voice drops in volume to prevent much overhearing. "Think you could hide it from a fox? No sweat, scent, or... heartbeat."
Jonothon Starsmore	Jono nods. "Not gonna lie. Yeah, it is." His way of 'keeping his voice down' is to broadcast only to Finna. He raises a hand to rub at the back of his head when Finna points out his less-than-human characteristics. "Remember when I said I have a chamber 'o somethin' that looked like fire but wasn't in me chest? That's all that's in there." He reaches up to poke at his jaw. He's somehow keeping it looking like a human's jaw and chin under the wrappings. But when he pokes at the area, it acts as though there's nothing there. Until he pulls his hand away, then it returns to looking normal under the wrapping. "See?"
Finna	Finna goes wide-eyed and brings her arms closer in to her body as if slightly weirded out... but then makes a querulous face, relaxing quickly. ".... Ooookay. I've seen plenty of things, but that's a new one! ... Are you.... okay?"
Jonothon Starsmore	Jono nods. "As 'OK' as I can be, yeah," he assures her. "I'm missin' most 'o my internal organs too... so that's why yer didn't hear a heartbeat." Might also explain the other things too-- the no scent or sweat, lack of breathing, and the not being able to talk.
Finna	"...rgh. Prying wasn't my goal, just seeing how you were!" Finna exclaims. "... Well, it must make for some cool party tricks!"
