[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.

Basically, always travel in pairs, watch out for creepy carnivals, let us know if anyone starts acting weird, and the Sentinel outside is going to regenerate no matter how often we destroy it.

. . . Got it.

[nod]

The things that happened here last year and the year before probably aren't going to happen again, but it works as a starting point, at least.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

You guys have been here a year?

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

Not quite. Julian's been here for about a year. I've only technically been here for a month, but about two years ago I was here for six months.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

. . . Geez. How the heck did I manage to miss something like that?

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

Actually, time is weird here. When I left the first time, it was like I had never been gone.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

Got a date for today?

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

October 1st, 2011.

[notxstatic.livejournal.com]

. . . 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.
