[It must be a record, Storm thinks to herself, coming back to this place a third time. She wakes up slightly disoriented, but the wings, the journal and the vaguely familiar forested surroundings brought some memories back. She spent a few moments collecting herself before she picked up the journal, intending to re-learn its workings, and murmured to herself as she did so:]

How long was I gone this time, I wonder? It certainly feels like summer, but my last memories of this place had been of snow... 

I wonder who is still around?

That does not mean I have to like it. [She sighs and takes a moment to pinch the bridge of her nose; she's being irrationally petulant and she should know better than to let her feelings get the better of her.] ... I'm sorry, that wasn't- it was uncalled for.

WOW RUDE (and yet awesome)

[snikting]

Forget it. I ain't any happier to be their puppet either. [He joined the X-Men because he was tired of war and didn't want any part of Magneto's. Now he forced to be part of it again.]

（￣ー￣）you missed me admit it

[calmbeforethe]

I just hate feeling so helpless. [Yes things were going to shit in their world, but at least she'd been doing something to prevent it. Here, there was very little they could do.]

What, what? You were gone?

[snikting]

Helpless isn't a word I'd use to describe the X-Men, Ro. Not even here. Things are just tough. But we deal with it. That's what we do. [For Logan, this is about as inspirational speech as he gets.]

[calmbeforethe]

[She arches an eyebrow, somewhat surprised at the pep talk.]

... Of course. You're right. [She shakes her head and smiles a little.] I know I shouldn't say this, but it's good to have you here, Logan.

tell me the truth, what took longer- the tag or the emote?

[snikting]

[How touching. But he's far, far too grumpy to go and be flattered or anything by that.]

Sure you are. Or maybe you're just glad to not be babysitting solo this time. [Not that Rogue needs babysitting. They're all adults here.]

the tag of course ヽ(ー_ー )ノ

[calmbeforethe]

[Yeah but last time she had Kurt, too. And he's a handful and a half all by himself. Made her go on this traumatizing rollercoaster ride, you know?]

... Well, there is that. It's not easy as it sounds, you know. I did not have you to scare them into submission.

suuuure it did

[snikting]

[So traumatizing that he never saw her again!]

Seems more like I scared them into leaving. [Kurt before him, Kitty right after.]

（*/∇＼*）~

[calmbeforethe]

... Which isn't a bad thing, all things considered.

... I don't even know what that one is

[snikting]

Yeah. It's better off for the both of them. [A pause.] So where'd you end up?

it's a moe emote of course, i was trying to be IC, OOC.

[calmbeforethe]

[Some rustling from her end.]

A forested area. On the west, I believe. [She's just resting her wings a little, before she decides to try flying over to town.]

they're all moe, even the violent ones

[snikting]

Always the forest with them, isn't it?

[Well, he'd look for her, but seeing as she can fly, there's not a whole lot of point in that.]

yes that's why i use them (◕‿◕✿)

[calmbeforethe]

Mm, yes. They like making things unreasonably difficult. [She shrugs, clearly not bothered. She'll figures she'll be walking into the house like she hadn't left before the sun sets.]

I'll just have to learn to live with them...

[snikting]

Yeah. Sort of like being back home.

[Replace the Malnosso with Magneto, the Brotherhood, the Sentinel Program, and Nick Fucking Fury.]

ʘ‿ʘ

[calmbeforethe]

In some ways, I suppose. Though from what I remember, life here tends to vary between two extremes... Very quiet, or very difficult. [Back home, the mansion was always a hive of activity. Whether they were dealing with the Villain of the Week, or just teenage mutant drama.]

8|

[snikting]

Yeah. Not too sure which one I hate more.

[He hates the quiet. But war and experiments aren't exactly his cup of tea either.]
