I'm so mad I could spit nails...

I swear to God, I couldn't even see straight when I was typing. The gall of that crass, vile son-of-a-bitch! I don't give a shit who he is, you do NOT come into OUR home and then start talking to us that way. What a fucking ignorant ass. How DARE he talk to us like that, how dare he, especially when anyone has access to that journal and God only knows some of us are clinging to any shred of self-esteem on a daily basis. I am stunned by his complete lack of tact and decency and his outright... meanness. I've read my elementary psych texts, thank you, and I can pick out verbal abuse and attempted intimidation from a MILE away. I have a wide tolerance for many things, but THAT? Mocking us in our own home? I won't take that shit. Not from him, not from anyone. It's the principle of the thing. This is supposed to be a safe space for mutants, regardless of what bastards like Stryker have to say about it, and I will not let someone walk in here and make it UNsafe. Not a chance. And if he's allowed to stay, allowed to get away with it, I don't know what I'll do. This is our home. Some of us weren't given the choice to be here. Some of us have defended it in the worst of circumstances. We have the right to be respected here. And if I'm wrong about that, then I've got no reason to stay. I've met kinder truckers on the highways and I'll take my chances with them instead.

I can't say much more than... agreed.

There's a pot of vanilla tea at your door.

Thank you.

Thanks, Paige. That was lovely to have when I got back in from shaking off some of my temper.

Marie? How much do you know about Mister Marko?

I laughed off the nightmares I had about him, but its the third one so far, and all the same, and ... now he's kind of acting like he did in the nightmare.

Re: ...

Not enough, M-A, that's the problem. He's got a vibe I just don't like. I'm not saying he's a bad person, he's just... "off", you know?

Re: ...

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Does anyone know anything about him?

I know that it is rude to pry, but... after the dreams, I am worried.

I'm on it...

[x-snowflake.livejournal.com]

please do not leave. i love you!!!!

i think mr marko is scary.

love illyana

[x-rogue.livejournal.com]

I won't go if I can help it, Yana, I promise. I love you too. And, yes, Mr. Marko is scary but he needs to learn to be a little less scary. I think he could learn that. It's not good for him to scare the children. I'm sure he doesn't mean to be so scary to you.

Hey, 'Yana?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Picture him in a dress and a vulture hat.

Not so scary now, no?

Re: Hey, 'Yana?

[x-snowflake.livejournal.com]

that is very funny!!!!!

but I am not thinking there is dresses big enough for him? even grown up dresses like at the dance are too small.

Re: Hey, 'Yana?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

That's why it is funny. ;)

Re: Hey, 'Yana?

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

I bet we could find a big enough dress. Or make one out of a tent, or something. We'd never get it on him, though.

Re: Hey, 'Yana?

[x-colossus.livejournal.com]

hahaha, just like Snape!

[x-colossus.livejournal.com]

Oh 'Yana,

Please so not fear Mr. Marko, he would never hurt a child like you. He might have a strong voice, but I think he has a scared heart.

You should forgive him.

love, Piotr

He upset Artie. That fucker is going down.

[x-rogue.livejournal.com]

I hear you. Is it bad that I was ready to take him up on his offer of coming to see him this afternoon? This isn't like me...

[x-sanfuaiyaa.livejournal.com]

If things continue the way they are going, it seems you will have a good portion of the student body to back you up if you ever do so.

I think

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

That if we do confront Mister Marko about this, that we should perhaps wait until he does it more than a few times, and when we know more about him.

I have suspicions about him.

[x-marrow.livejournal.com]

With as antagonistic as he's being, I think you would have to be dead to _not_ react like that. He's just trying to piss us off.

Okay.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

So it worked. Now what do we do?

This is a little beyond putting reptiles in his underwear drawer. *Yuck!*

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

I'm willing to help take this bastard down.

evenifIhavetousemypowers

don't fuck with me.

*shakes head*

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

This is going to sound insane but no powers, unless we can help it.

If he is dangerous, the teachers, who know their powers better than we know ours, I think, should do it, and if he isn't, I think the last thing we want to do is prove him right.

Doug's power doens't count. Neither do my dreams if they're a power thing.

Neither does telepathy, or Manuel's empathy, if I can talk him into helping. I am thinking he doesn't like Mister Marko much anyway.

Re: *shakes head*

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

okay. to be honest, I didn't want to. but I'm willing. I like this place.

Re: *shakes head*

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Wait, so . . . what? We're suddenly deciding that the Professor can't be trusted to hire safe people? I mean, come on, the guy has a bad temper, sure, but don't you think we're overreracting just a little? By which I mean Chicken Little?

[x-colossus.livejournal.com]

I know I'm walking on broken-glass here, but I just want you to think about a few things.

I relate to Mr. Marko, because when I get mad I spit out words without thinking. I'm sure you have noticed this from time to time, but most of the words I saw, I don't mean.

Also, he also lives in this house. Therefore, it's his house too. I do not approve of his choice of words, but he still has a point. He is in charge of the mansion's upkeep, and he clearly stated some rules when he arrived and no one put up a fuss then. The moment someone says they can take his job and do it better is the moment I'll listen to what they have to say.

I'll repeat, he didn't have to sound so mean, but sometimes people have strong words and weak hearts. Think about that.
