Attention to all team:

[x-storm.livejournal.com]

Good afternoon, everyone. Because of the fact that we have had several new additions to the team in the past few months I thought it may be a good idea for us once again to attempt some sort of team-bonding exercise. And as much fun as team boxing was last time, I think we ought to try something new. If only to make sure we are actually still in one piece the next day should we be required to save the world.

Which is why, after much deliberation, I have settled on a weekend retreat at a nearby facility set up for just this purpose. It will be a relaxing weekend; there are hot tubs and other spa-type facilities, I believe, and I have heard very good things about the food there. Attendance is not mandatory, but nor is it something you can blow off - consider it a personal favor to me. I have divided the team up into two groups for safety's purposes. One will stay at the mansion while the other attends the retreat. Reservations have already been made for the weekend of April 28th-29th for the following people:

Myself, Scott, Marie, Haller, Lorna, Terry, Logan, Angelo, Kurt, Pietro, Clarice and Jean.

The remainder of you have a reservation for the following weekend. I will also be attending. I think this is a very good opportunity for us all, and I look forward to seeing you there. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

-O.

Didn't you see the spa and hot tubs? How are those punishments? And you can try to bribe me, but it may not work.

I've been on retreats. No amount of spas and hot tubs make up for kumbaya around a campfire.

I'll get baking.

Y'know, people on the team should probably participate in team activities.

They should also go on missions. I'm an exception to rules!

If having your brain run off on its own and wreck portions of an urban neighborhood less than a month ago isn't a good enough excuse to skip out "I don't wanna" actually hits negative values.

You're bonding. Deal with it.

Why are you so mean to me?

[x-legion.livejournal.com]

It might have something to do with the fact you're being about five years old.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

I had plans! Plans that have to be cancelled!

Come on, Lorna. You know you want to go to camp.

It's for the good of the team.

I find your argument specious. They said the same thing of Fight Night.

Remember that time you were benched?

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

You mean when you ratted me out to Amelia and I spent the next--what month is it now?--seven months out of active duty?

Not that I've got anything to do with the roster, but I can't help but think some indication you're actually willing to cooperate might be good for enthusiasm-levels.

If bribery doesn't work, I'll go. But I'm starting with bribery.
