Mission report

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Filing this on Cyclops' behalf since he's being bandaged in the back of the Blackbird. Our "anonymous" tip was right, the Brotherhood (specifically Mystique and Nimrod) showed up to cause trouble. Sway, Cyclops, and Nightcrawler did recon on the ground while the rest of us did a stealth circuit patrol in the Blackbird.

Nightcrawler encountered Mystique and for once did NOT have whatever pseudo-Oedipal complex he suffers from rear its head and actually managed to counter her plan to kidnap the alledgedly-mutant kid of one of the FoH protestors (I know, it's a day of irony all around. Don't think I'm not appreciating this) - turns out the boy was just a regular kid, Mystique was just playing more headgames.

Nimrod, however, did quite a number on the ground team and Peter Lakatos. Phoenix is attending to the injured, but they should all be fit for duty soon without any lasting injuries. Points to Nightcrawler for porting the Hungarian Psycho off into the Atlantic. But as the ranking X-Man on the plane I'll dock him half of those for leaving all Nimrod's limbs intact.

ETA back to mansion: twenty minutes. Phoenix says to let Amelia know we've got one needing stitches and two to be checked for possible concussions, but no critical priorities.

The "complex" will not be a problem again.

She lied to me so I would help her take the boy, and be seen fighting his protectors. If I had not stopped to see for myself first...

I have been a fool, my friends. I am sorry.

Senior ranking....uh huh....

Though I don't disagree with your point system.

I will point out that of this particular mission lineup, I can lay claim to the Most Days In A Row Not Gone Crazy.

Note that I did not say "senior". You and Kurt and Phoenix and Mr. Phoenix back there can be the Seniors Team.

Does that mean I get to start stories now with "Boy, back in my day..."?

In your day, you and the IceDork stole your way into borrowed uniforms and nearly crashed the jet at Alkali Lake. We've fine-tuned the application process since then.

(yes that sound is me getting a running start why do you ask?)

You can run...but you can't hide forever...

I'm sorry, when did I go crazy? It must have slipped my mind.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Oh, you haven't yet. But you also haven't been around as long.

(Wow, did I just get to give someone the "rookie" talk? This must be what Logan feels like every day of his ancient-ass life...)

All right then. Something to look forward to besides my inevitable turn to the dark side! Is there an approximate timeframe I should be aware of? Nine months? A year? Five years?

Oh, I'll have to pull the FUN mission reports for you. Jean got possessed by herself, Marie's gone crackers and split for Canada at least twice in recent memory, Paige went looney-tunes and camped out in a sewer for a week or so, Scott forgot who he was and wound up playing chess in Central Park, Kyle and Marius and Jennie got turned into mutant-hunting Hounds by a crazy stalker of Doc Moira's, I don't know if being dead counts as crazy, but both Jean and Garrison have that one on their scoresheet, too.

I recommend vanishing to parallel dimensions out of sync with the regular spacetime continuum. It keeps the insurance premiums down.

I've never gone crazy! Okay, so I'm still a trainee but never gone crazy! Also, Ireland is awesome. So green! It's like GREEN green.

You = crazy on October 18, 2008.

*ponders* I thought that was more stupidity then crazy.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Crazy is easier to forgive than stupid. Go with it.

Crazy it is! Can I have had voices? It's more authentic with voices.
