[IC: mutant accommodation decisions]

[julienned]

 [IN THE MUTANT CABIN COMMON ROOM we have Julian straddling a chair and spinning a card on his fingertip. it's a valid use for telekinesis.]

So now we have a spare room.

((OOC: THIS SURE IS SOME IC FALLOUT FROM JAY GUTHRIE DROPPING. Whoever let a bunch of codependent teens live together, anyway. ANYONE IS WELCOME TO TAG IN IF THAT WOULD FILL YOU WITH JOY.))

[julienned]

Yeah and we're stuck looking after them. You want the room or not, Cess?

[needs_a_hg]

I'm fine with Alani. Thanks.

[julienned]

One of us'll take it. It's not going to stay empty.

[needs_a_hg]

Well, it's not going to be me.

[julienned]

You just said that.

[needs_a_hg]

Just making sure that you heard me.

[needs_a_hg]

[aaaaaand then suddenly she's hugging him in the most undignified way imaginable.]

[julienned]

[IS THERE SNOT AND TEARS ON HIM THERE IS ISN'T THERE.]

Hey, it's okay. It's okay.

[needs_a_hg]

[NOPE NOT HERE. ALL THE TEARS JUST... FORM BACK INTO HER CHEEKS.]

No, it's not.

[julienned]

No, it's not. But we'll get through it. We're good at surviving.

[needs_a_hg]

[wiping her face with her arm]

I know we'll get through it, but Jay... is gone. Again.

[julienned]

We got a year, Cess. That's not bad.

[needs_a_hg]

We don't know that he's gone back. He might have gone somewhere else. Or he might go back and remember.

[julienned]

He definitely went back. He'd never go to anywhere else.

[needs_a_hg]

He might remember.

[julienned]

He could. There's no way he could do the same things he did, knowing what happens.

[needs_a_hg]

Yeah. And then something could change.

[julienned]

A lot of things would. We'd wake Foley out of his catatonia without ... without Laura getting hurt, and we'd make sure that you didn't get captured, and no-one would have to go to Limbo.

[needs_a_hg]

He'll remember.

[julienned]

There's no way he wouldn't.

[needs_a_hg]

And he'll make things better. Even if it's not for us, even if the changes mean that we don't feel it, it'll still be better for someone.

[julienned]

It'll be us! Just not ... us-us.

[needs_a_hg]

Yes. Somewhere, there will be a universe where he changed things.

[julienned]

Yeah. There will be.

[needs_a_hg]

[have another, slightly less desperate, hug]

If anybody asks, that's what happened.
