Scott, Kurt, and Lorna, Thursday morning

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Sometimes, when you're having a week like Scott's having, you want to lie on the couch and stare at the ceiling. Other times, you just want to beat the crap out of something. Scott goes for the tried-and-true option of the punching bag. Kurt, arriving for some gymnastics practice, expresses his concern but also his willingness to give Scott some space.

( Don't worry. You're not going to be dragooned into any more therapeutic kidnappings. )

After Kurt leaves, Lorna arrives, perhaps to explore the therapeutic possibilities of strenuous physical activity. It's entirely possible that she and Scott should not be having this conversation just now, but they do it anyway. In the end, they manage to be remarkably adult in a lot of ways, but they are definitely not a happy pair this week. Oh, and the punching bag dies.

( At least you didn't marry him. )

Forge, Lorna, kitchen

Following the murder of the punching bag, Lorna runs into Forge in the kitchen. She clears up for him exactly why Alex was so upset. Then she makes him help her cook.

( Sometimes doing the right thing hurts people. )

LOG: [Angelo, Marius] So, about all your filing

The aftermath of the little incident in the office, and for once Marius isn't waking up with inexplicable bruises. However, he's coming to find the explicable ones aren't much better. As always, Angelo asks the important questions.


( ... didn't anyone start teachin' you how to shield yet? )

Student-Teacher Conferences We Won't Be Repeating (Nathan, Marius, Angelo, Haroun, a wall)

Marius stops by Nathan's office to hand in a more extensive version of his independent study proposal. Nathan is crankier than usual, and headache-plagued - neither of which he connects to the 'precog-be-gone medication' working its way out of his system. Fortunately, Angelo remembers that Nate with a headache is rarely a good thing. Unfortunately, he realizes this too late to do anything. Then there are precognitive visions getting shared and power feedback-loops and people reacting to things they don't understand and entirely too much random chaos. In the end, Angelo's the last man standing. Yay Angelo!

( All the fault of a little pill... )

Thursday, Haller's office

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

After a long day of culinary therapy, Lorna disposes of the food via following up on her threat to feed Haller. They have a rambling conversation about almost nothing but manage to communicate quite a bit.

( You don't have any wacky dietary restrictions do you? Chocolate doesn't make you see dead people or anything? )

Nathan and Angelo

A little later in the evening, Nathan is still spending quality time with some of Moira's favorite machines. Angelo stops in to check on his boss, and Nathan tells him a little bit about what he saw - and is still seeing. It's not reassuring. Everyone else should be reassured that they don't have powers that provide their own foreshadowing.

( The precog apparently decided to play 'let's kick Nathan in the brain'. )
