Dead Letter Office - Jake and Amanda, en route

[xp_daytripper]

On the plane to Geneva, Amanda and Jake talk about family. Specifically, his. It's not a welcome subject.

( Given the choice, I never would have quit that job. I liked it, I was good at it, and it's all I ever wanted to do. )

Manuel and Jennie - Tuesday Morning

[x-roulette.livejournal.com]

Jennie invites Manuel to breakfast, in the hopes of potentially finally clearing the air between them. Hard things get discussed, and they reach a mutual agreement.

*discussion of sensitive topics, viewer discretion is advised*

( Yeah well, if you would define me by my actions, then the term 'heinous bitch' will probably spring to mind )

Lex and Lil | Late Tuesday Morning

[x-lexington.livejournal.com]

Lex tries to apologize to Lil. He fails miserably.

( If everyone in the mansion apologized for pissing me off every time they did, it's all I'd ever hear. )

Crystal and Nathan - Breakfast in Bed

[x-aerial.livejournal.com]

Helping out in the medlab, Crystal provides Nathan with food and conversation. Some concerns are voiced while other worries are left unsaid.

( How much will you continue to be able to take, both physically and emotionally, before you simply cannot do this anymore? How many times must your friends and family need to worry about your chance of survival? )

Dead Letter Office, Swiss Connection: Homecoming

[x-courier.livejournal.com]

Jake and North talk on their way to their meeting at Infonet.

( Would your mother take it as a horrible offense if I brought a gun to the meeting, you think? )

* * *

Jake and North meet with Jake's sister and mother. Jake's homecoming is a spectacular disaster.

( It's like you expect me to act on ... feelings, Mr. North. Don't get me wrong, I love a good dry martini as much as the next girl but I don't let it own a majority stock in my company nor do I do it favors for free, now do I? )

Catseye, Kevin, Kyle, Lex

[x-catseye.livejournal.com]

Kevin comforts Catseye on the roof of the treehouse as the catgirl is moping and completely self-absorbed in her identity issues.

( Someone lovin' ya for whatever you are's a lot more important than belonging. )

After running into Kevin, Catseye tries to hide deeper in the woods but purple is hard to hide and she is no match for Kyle's powers of observation.

( The reason people get mad is because they don't know that you didn't get to learn this stuff from like, the first day you were born. )

Stubbornly ignoring the Serious Thinking she's supposed to be doing after being given advice by Kevin and Kyle, Catseye hunts in BigCat form and spoils Lex's latest hunt.

( Catseye. It's me, Lex. Please don't attack. )

Dead Letter Office - Amanda and Doug, information gathering

[xp_daytripper]

In Geneva, Doug and Amanda come up with a novel way to determine just who was meeting Arkady.

( Angelo would have a fit if he saw her like this. )

Shiro & Jay, Tuesday afternoon

[x-sanfuaiyaa.livejournal.com]

After an afternoon romp, Shiro lets slip a shameful little half-secret that Jay doesn't take well, but both of them are committed to rectifying the problem. Warning for a slightly smutty beginning.

( Godamnit Shiro, you're just like... like Kevin. )

Dead Letter Office, Swiss Connection: Old Friends

[x-courier.livejournal.com]

North meets an old...friend, Infonet courier Hans Mittlesteadt, who has information on what Russovich was looking for--and, more importantly, where it might be found.

( If this synthesizer machine still exists, there are worse places to start than with looking for other things that Infonet never managed to deliver. )

Lex and Adrienne - Backdated to Tuesday Evening

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

On a search for Driver, Adrienne visits the garage and runs into Lex. They discuss the reasons they are at the mansion, using powers for evil, and eventually the topic of Lex's journal indiscretions.

( I mean, even if being evil were easier, I don't think I could live with myself. We weren't given a choice to be born the way we are, but we were given one on how to use them. )

Dead Letter Office - The Swiss Connection: In Vino Veritas

[x-maverick.livejournal.com]

In which it is learned that no plan survives first contact with the enemy, and that some people are going to have a very long plane flight ahead of them.

( Anywhere Jake and I go is going to be like taping road flares to our asses and jogging through Notre Dame Cathedral. )

Jean and Scott in the Danger Room

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Jean's been a leeeeeeetle stressed. Luckily, her husband has a cure.

( Right, you absolutely do not have an ulterior motive. I'm sure. )

Morgan & Nate, Morgan & Lex | Tuesday evening

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

Morgan stops by the medlab to check up on Nate and remind him what sort of limitations he's up against.

( Maybe smack you around but I'm not sure if that would jostle some stuff into the slots it got loose from or just do more brain damage at this point. Tough call. )

Afterward, she stops on her way to harass the usual suspects to say hi to Lex, but apparently he's embracing his inner moppet instead of spanking it like he should be so she decides to harass him instead and secures a bed to crash in for the night in the process.

( I'm convinced that broad's got fucking bipolar. )
