Kyle, just to set your mind at ease:

Only twice? I myself have had multiple close-calls: malnutrition and borderline organ failure in hospital, body-wide third degree burns in the dorm, respiratory failure in Medlab . . . it's good to have options.

Whoa...so this happens a lot?

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

In my case, only if your mutation is extremely broken. In that respect I don't think you have much cause to worry.

I got stuck under a rock and met a ghost and lived in the sewers and..and...something else. I forgot. Does that count?

Those are perfectly acceptable incidents for one your age. However, my recommendation would be to avoid the more life-endangering sort as long as possible. They're only amusing after the scars have healed.

Okay! But when I become an X-Person then I can't make any promises.

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

Considering none of my Unfortunate Incidents happened under the aegis of X-work, I find that quite a reasonable goal.

But I'm unsquishable and punchy so that will help, right?

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

In theory. Just don't go out with the intent of testing it, yes?
