[October debriefing post!]

[julienned]

[Over the dulcet tones of the Barney wearing sentinel singing about how it hates them  even more now that they crushed everything twice, we have a bunch of very sorry mutants who perhaps shouldn't have drunk half as much as they did.  This does not stop Julian doing as he planned, even if he too looks like he really should have drunk less.]

All right, everyone sit down, shut up and try not to throw up on each other.  You need to pay attention to this.

Thanks, Julian.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

Not a problem, Ashida.

You got the lowdown on this?

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

Kinda?

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

Good. I'm going to sleep this off. Have fun with your team.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

... Thought it was yours now.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

Never said it was.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

Victor said it was.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

Just give it up, Julian. You've been here way longer than me. It makes sense.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

Are you listening to anything I'm saying? I am not the leader. I stepped up when we needed it to fight that thing outside but that's it!

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

You were the leader before.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

And I'm not now. Does this conversation make more sense in your head?

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

Not really. But you're the one not making sense.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

I'm hungover. I can make as little sense as I want.

But I'm not the leader.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

Well I'm not either.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

You just barged in saying you were. Make up your mind, Ashida.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you should too.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

What? Just because Vic said something doesn't mean it's true. I told you, I'm not. Do you really think I'd say that if I was?

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

I didn't think the Julian I know would back down from the chance.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and he had his hands, which? Big clue that I'm not the Julian you remember! I don't want it. I don't want it, or anything and the only reason I'm here right now is because there wasn't anyone else to hand it off to. It's yours. I'm done.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

[she almost brings her fist up. she's so close to it Julian, but -]

... Done?

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm done.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

[she makes a sort of mangled, irritated noise.]

Good luck with that.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

Being done? It's real easy.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

If you say it is.
