[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.

. . . Huh.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

This might sound weird, but...what's the last thing you remember?

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

. . . Mr. Summers starting team building exercises back up again. As "The New X-Men" or whatever.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

Wow, that seems like a lifetime ago.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

. . . Huh?

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

You're from the past...or...Julian and I are from the future...I guess it depends on how you look at it.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

. . . So that's why . . .

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

There's more. ...Jay is here.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

. . . Jay? Seriously? How?

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

It's probably better to not try and figure it out...it's like this place's version of the Summers Family Tree.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

... Fine. Does he know?

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

Not yet. We tried to keep it from him, but... [sigh] Julian is going to tell him, soon.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

Why now?

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

It's kind of a long story that isn't entirely mine to tell...the point is it was Julian's call not to tell him, and he made the call that Jay has to know, so he can decide what to do when he gets to leave this place.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

[eeeeyeroll.]

So he's still calling all the shots.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

Well, he's been here the longest, and someone had to assume a leadership role. Plus...it'll be good for him.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

Uh huh.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

Trust me. I'm not going to get into details, but...it doesn't get any easier for us, and that especially goes for Julian. Having a team that relies on him might go a long way to helping him.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

Fine, whatever. It's not like I wanted that job anyways.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

It's not really a big job...you'd get to write on the whiteboard and sometimes he makes other people do that anyway.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

[she snorts.]

Figures.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[shrug]

There's not a lot to do here, in a "we need a leader" capacity.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

Good to know.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

If it helps you got here just in time for things to get dangerous.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

Really?
