Shinobi and Alex

Late Saturday night/early Sunday morning, Alex is having trouble sleeping, and goes to the rec room to watch TV without risking waking up his suitemates. Shinobi's there already, watching a movie. They talk about American censors butchering perfectly good cinema, the evils of Teddy Ruxpin, and eventually touch upon the fight with Lorna.

One thing my father did right, I suppose. Never gave me a Teddy Ruxpin. )

In the kitchen of Lorna and Ali's suite.

Saturday evening, Jamie makes French toast for Lorna. Food, Alex and Batman are discussed.

Optimism. I remember optimism. I hate optimism )

Narrative: Paige with guest appearance by Angelo

Paige and Angelo finally make it to church. Except... not really in Paige's case. Did we mention Paige isn't big on religion? We get a little glimpse into the past where she once was a good little Catholic (Christian? Baptist? What are the Guthries again?) girl and have a visit by the ladies with obnoxious hats.

But you know how it is. Father ups and dies and you just start not remembering why you needed a God in the first place. )

[Paul, Kitty] "Do you think the students would tolerate a full formal dance?"

"Full formal equals boys in tuxes, yes? Good God, yes, please yes. And dresses. Formal dresses!"Read more... )


Kitty comes by to greet the new teacher before classes start.  She comes in for tea and stays for quite a while as Paul attempts to explain the Humanities courses to her, then picks her brain about the HeliX event and his computer.

Shinobi and Sarah

Sunday afternoon, Shinobi gathers up his guts goes down to the basement to finally talk to Sarah.

If it wasn't my fight, you shouldn't have let me help at all. )

Amanda, Manuel - Sunday

Manuel brings Amanda food in her room. They are cute. Normal, even. Time travel and the idiocy of the previous weekend is discussed.

Somehow tuna sandwiches as sex toys don't really grab me. Too fishy. )

Rahne and Nathan, Sunday afternoon

Nathan is sitting down to play with his TK a little, but isn't quite sure what to do. Rahne gives him a suggestion that works out rather well, and the two of them talk a little more about her thoughts regarding her experiences in Asgard and some of her questions about her mutation.

Explorations... )

[Paul, Amanda] “Isn’t she a nice witch?”

"I wonder if she's ever thought of having a cat..."Read more... )


Amanda drops by to see Paul and to apologize for not coming back sooner.  They talk about magic, will’o’wisps, fine print, names, and flying.

Angelo, Nathan and Paige

After the two posts to Angelo's journal, Nathan goes to check on him and finds him... not doing well. He makes a start on looking after him, then Paige shows up and Nathan leaves Angelo in her care.

They all know... they weren't supposed to... )
Entry tags:

Log: Clarice, her mom & a guy

Clarice goes home and there is screaming. Lots of screaming. She comes home early.

If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance. )

Scott and Shinobi, Sunday evening

Set well before this log. Scott is enraged over the incident in Angelo's journal. Shinobi brings him good news. Scott is cheered up. Shinobi is devious.

Canada's looking rather good, isn't it? )

Cecilia and Nathan

Late Sunday evening, Cecilia goes out for a walk to escape the mild-madness of the mansion after Angelo's journal was hijacked. She bumps into Nate at the lake, and winds up taking him along. They discuss everything from the lack of downtime between crises, to green-furred space chimpanzees. No, really.

It doesn't ever stop. And just when the outside threats do, we get things falling apart on the inside. )

[Paul, Alex, Scott] "Alex? You okay?"

”No.”Read more... )


Flying in from working off some of his frustration, Paul hears Alex take a fall from his skateboard ramp and stops to check on him.  When the answer to the obvious question is a very definite ‘no’, he takes the time to see what’s wrong and ends up hearing everything.  He helps Alex unravel a few of his knots and agrees to talk to Lorna.  Then he takes Alex to Scott, where he really needs to be, and leaves Scott to take care of his little brother.  [Set at 11:30pm but posted now so I can go to bed whenever.  :)]
