Guys...

I know the training schedule is thoroughly insane and we're all starting to feel it, but we also do have to make sure that we sleep. Four hours of every twenty-four at least, okay? Caffeine does not make a good substitute.

Point of order - I don't technically need sleep so long as I'm working, but I'm trying to catch catnaps when I can hit a slow point. I know how important this is, I'm not about to pull a Guthrie and burn myself out.

Wasn't really directed at you, Forge - I trust you to know how to manage your schedule.

Speaking of - those tiles should be arriving around noon. I'm going to need your assistance with adjusting the Blackbird's flight surfaces to compensate for the added weight of both the ablative re-entry tiles and the glider. I've already retrofitted the engines to use the solid-fuel-conversion ramjet boosters, and installed an updated control software module.

But for the moment, if anyone needs me, I'll be in my lab. If I'm horizontal, just talk louder.

I'll see you at noon. My poor girl's going to look a little odd when we're done with her, isn't she? She and I will have to have a talk to make sure she knows it's temporary.

I'm late, I'm late for a very important date!
No time to say hello, goodbye! I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!
I'm overdue, I'm in a rabbit stew!
No time to say hello, goodbye! I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!

dude, do you realize that between training and homework, I have no timem to sleep right? I'm totally stocking up on protein bars and rockstar. I going to need massive amounts of energy for this cockamamie plan of yours.

Healing factor and Tim Horton's coffee. Between those two things, I'm good to go until... March, it seems.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Not only will I fill the coffee machine with decaf, I will come sedate you people if I have to.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Don't even think about it. Decaf is blasphemy.

How about some nice herbal teas?

You could always ask Agent Cooper if she'd write a note for your professors. She keeps saying she wants to be helpful.

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

you know, that'd be GREAT for my secret identity. because every college kid comes in with a note from federal agents after assisting them in stopping terrorists.

oh wait, isn't that the plot of Alias? didn't work so well for her either, iirc.

you know, sarcasm and near-exhaustion don't mix well. I might have to consider that sleep thing soon.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

It is blasphemy, I know. I also know that when someone gets tired enough that they can't tell the difference? They need to be not drinking coffee. And that there are people here who don't know that.

Based on this criteria, I will never, in fact, die.

Not that I'm going on the op or anything, but someone's gotta hold the fort in case someone gets frisky while all of you are away.

I'm just about the last guy you want up against Magneto. Wave of his hand and I'm a puppet.

Been a puppet before. Didn't much care for it.

[x-dominion.livejournal.com]

We know. We just choose not to acknowledge that fact.

[x-dominion.livejournal.com]

I never did see that production of Pinnoccio. You and musical theater. Who knew?

[x-wolverine.livejournal.com]

Ask your girlfriend.

She was there for it.

Caffeine is a perfectly good substitute.

That said, I'm sleeping. At the brownstone, so if I'm not, you don't want to know.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

If you're Not Sleeping at the brownstone, more power to you. I fully approve of Not Sleeping prior to doing truly stupid things. I also like Not Sleeping after doing truly stupid things.

Jean, I'm waiting for my telekinetic smack upside the head...

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's why we keep the syringe of sleep juice down here. Anybody pushes themselves too hard and I get Charles permission to knock you out for eight hours.

Maybe six. Time is problematic, unquestionably.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

You'll get yours, mister.

[x-wallflower-.livejournal.com]

*grins* Or you could always call me. ;) Although, I think putting my teammates to sleep would consist of a breach of trust somehow. Even if it were for their own good.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Nope. Not if we're doing it on Scott, Ororo or Charles' orders.
