Jamie and Jane and a whole lot of comics.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

In which Jamie introduces Jane to the amazing world of comic book geekery, including one of the Classic Conversations, and Jane sees a familiar face in one of the books.  Fluff, with a hint or two of a more serious nature.

Angelo and Nathan, Wednesday morning

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Angelo and Nathan meet for some more self-defense practice. Angelo is voluntarily integrating his mutation. Nathan is Very Pleased.

( I detect suspicious levels of enthusiasm... )

Scott and Alison, Wednesday morning

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Alison stops by to see Scott, to talk about his drunk-post and the ensuing kerfluffle. Scott's had a little bit too much time to think about things.

( You know me. I'll handle it. )

[Paul, Scott] "Stop this shit about pulling it together, captain, my captain."

[x-vega.livejournal.com]

Paul corners Scott in an empty classroom when he catches Scott skulking and avoiding people.  They talk, whether Scott wants to or not.  Paul pushes as far as he can go.

Your idea of pulling it together is covering up the bleeding.  You know what that song's about, don't you?( Read more... )

Nathan, Jono, and Askani, backdated to around September 15th

Hit the Way-Wayback Machine for this one... Jono arrives at Nathan's suite for his first lesson with him and Askani.

( What happens now? )

Angelo and Kitty

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

They take a study break in the rec room and she finally gets to meet Joyita. Friendship-fluff.

( So what are you up to, this fine study break of ours? )

Early Wednesday afternoon, Skate Ramp

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Lorna goes for a run and ends up running into Alex (not literally). They pick up where they left off last night.

( My pretty mouth will frame the phrases that will disprove your faith in me )

Angelo and Madelyn, backdated

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

He goes down to visit her for some careers advice. She has a lot of sensible things to say and gives him some food for thought.

( So, you're thinking about the future, I take it? )

Manuel and Lusanya, backdated to last Wednesday

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Backdated to last Wednesday. The night over his argument with Nathan about whether or not his lessons with the Askani can be continued somehow, Manuel finds himself with a visitor in his dreams. Lusanya, as always, is very good at listening. She and Manuel talk about debts of honor, living with empathy, the difference between family and Clan, and Lusanya tells him something about her past that leaves him rather shocked. Then she offers a solution to the problem of the debt he feels he owes Nathan.

( A little birdie told me you might be needing a sounding board... )

Cecilia and Shan

[x-reyes.livejournal.com]

Waaaaaay backdated to September the 15th. Immediately after this chat with Angelo, Cecilia tracks Shan down to apologize for this post. On a roll with the whole 'productive and social' schtick, she even winds up with a date escort for the HeliX formal without so much as a stumble. Scary!

( I'm not very good at just keeping my mouth shut when I likely should. )

Angelo and Cecilia

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

They get to talking after First Aid class, and she gives him some interesting - if ironic - careers advice.

( I suppose I'm lucky - I've known what I'll be doing for a <i>long</i> time, never any question in my mind. )

Somewhere in England...

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

One of the surviving Stryker team cells sits in England, trying to figure out their next move. When suddenly a familiar name pops up on the screen and provides them with a reason to start again.

( I think we were just handed our saving grace )
