All Teams: Mission Report

[xp_hawkeye]

We successfully returned Evan/Genesis to his home reality. Turns out his disappearance instigated some kind of coup, but he's lucky enough to have a shit ton of loyalists. Alani was taken out with a serving platter, but I've been reliably informed we're going to be training up everybody's situational awareness during the next several sessions in the DR, so we'll be handling that. If anyone wants to assist, feel free.

The wormhole stabilized once Evan/Genesis met up with his royal guards, which means we left him there without actually helping him retake his throne, but he was understanding about it. Having Namor along was a treat, as usual, but his understanding of royal customs - and his ability to take people out very, very efficiently - came in handy. We'll be keeping tabs on the wormhole to make sure it doesn't start acting up again.

Obviously, we'll keep you all posted, if necessary.

Just wanted to say the inter-teamwork on this one was impressive. Thanks to everybody at X-Factor, X-Force, and the X-Men for nailing the situation down and keeping it there.

Celebratory party at Harry's?

Alani got hit with a what now? Is she okay? I'll assist with that.

[xp_hawkeye]

A platter.

We evac'd her early and got her taken to the medlab while I stayed down to make sure the rest of the mission went smoothly. It did. She should be fine, but I'm sure she'd appreciate somebody other than me and Matt checking on her. God knows he's mother henning her hard.

Appreciate it. I've been enjoying our forays in the DR. I'm thinking using a few different scenarios and varying up the weapons, kinda like we did in that office one - found weapons and/or weapons of convenience. Wanna help me brainstorm?

[xp_darcy]

Sounds good. Obviously we need to add tavern fighting to the list.

So she needs more mother henning, that's what I'm hearing. And probably food.

[xp_hawkeye]

Definitely food. I'm sure she's positively starving.

[xp_darcy]

The rest of you too, I imagine. Handheld/sippable or are you willing to sit still and use utensils?

[xp_hawkeye]

All of the above for me. I just want food. In my belleh. I will also be partaking in vital alcohol consumption.

[xp_darcy]

I can't help you with the alcohol but I'll get some food made. Are you in the basement or actually being social?

[xp_loa]

I will gladly accept mother henning and food while I lick my metaphorical wounds and appear very pitiful.

[xp_darcy]

Are you supposed to be looking at screens, young lady? I hear that's bad for concussions and other head injuries, whatever yours might be.

But while you're alert, do you have a food preference? Soup and bread? Handheld? Other?

[xp_wildchild]

Bro bro bro bro bro bro
Clinto
maybe if you're gonna be sending people to the RenFaire Universe maybe the guy who uses period weapons
should be going

not sayin
just sayin

I watched you ARROWED a STRAWBERRY off a DR bot's head. Pretty sure you could just have robin hooded it up there and nobody'd have blinked

[xp_hawkeye]

You're not wrong. But I like playing switchboard when the team gets split and being able to evac them when necessary. But also, I'm not sure fixing things really necessitates killing people and while I can hit people without killing them, I don't wanna waste my arrows?

[xp_wildchild]

okay but I'm just saying, green tights.

[xp_hawkeye]

I can rock some green tights and be mocked with Robin Hood jokes while staying in this dimension, bro.

[xp_wildchild]

I mean YEAH But you can't shoot the sheriff and not the deputy if you don't travel dim
ensions
I mean okay you CAN because fuck the police but you know

[xp_hawkeye]

I mean, I was never a cop, but bro. (No, you're right, their purpose/methodologies have shifted so much in the last fifty years that fuck 'em.)

[xp_wildchild]

IDK it was a song ref and then it went places...

[xp_hawkeye]

I mean, I've got opinions. Sorry?

But hey, food and alcohol. You in?

[xp_wildchild]

It's all good. Always. I gotta wings place, you want wings?

[xp_hawkeye]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Lots of wings.

[xp_daredevil]

cluck cluck bro

[xp_hawkeye]

You do remember I turn 40 next year, right?

[xp_daredevil]

no.

no.

that's not right.

[xp_darcy]

Lies, that would mean I'm getting old.

[xp_phoenix]

Being hit with a platter is definitely a new one for the Medlab so...congrats? She's in good hands, though.

[xp_hawkeye]

Wanna come down and TK chaos at the team?

[xp_phoenix]

You mean like a training session? Could be fun.

[xp_hawkeye]

Exactly like that. Just throw things at them from various angle. When I say "them" I mean "us" because I'll obviously be working with the team. And also probably we're gonna wind up working on teamwork during situations like that, cause they've gotta be able to count on their teammates to have their backs.

[xp_blackcat]

came here super late to the party to scream exactly that. someone put me on her to be disturbed list or there will be chaos okay?

[xp_darcy]

Matt says she's back in her room and I'm dropping off food. You want some too?

[xp_blackcat]

I'm fed just thank you

[xp_darcy]

Well I won't insult you be offering wine because we all know I have no taste there.

[xp_blackcat]

I didn't. Come on down when you're done?

[xp_daytripper]

For the record, Clan Akkaba, the group behind all this, is going on the List of Bastards to Watch that we have over there at XF, and we'll doing more research on them. They seem to want to bring some god of theirs - the Son of the Morning Fire - back to earth and with a name like that, it can't bode well. I wouldn't be surprised if they pop up again at some point.

[xp_hawkeye]

Sounds good. I'll pop that into the old memory banks in case something comes up somewhere in my contacts from SWORD, but it seems more your area of expertise.

Just in case, though, can you shoot me a list of stuff that they might need to pull off another dimension-breaking summoning spell? If anything seems like something my people can keep an eye on, I'll let you know? I don't know what actually goes into something like that, but I've already got people keeping an eye on equipment that might indicate a fluctuation in a different location as well as various chemicals and proprietary tech, so.

[xp_loa]

Clint, why did you have to tell people what knocked me out? I get released and immediately see "Alani was taken out with a serving platter" - ouch. I mean, true, but damn, shoulda just said I tripped and knocked myself out at that point.

[xp_hawkeye]

Happens to the best of us.

Oh, also, my dads want you to come over for Sunday Brunch next weekend. They also want to know what you thought of the graduation gift they sent. If you don't like the color scheme, Andre swears he can get you whichever one you like. I think they're anxious. Very excited to have a granddaughter figure to dote on.

[xp_loa]

I walked into that, I'm too easily deterred by your dads. That's not fair, it's like a pitfall for me and I will fall for it every time! But, yes, I can do brunch and everything was perfect, and I would kiss them both on the noggin if I wasn't piled under these blankets for warmth.

[xp_daredevil]

would you like to be Alani Kimura, Alani Murdock, Alani Barton or some combinations. hyphens are popular. there are choices.

[xp_loa]

There ARE choices, and while I'm not positive my parents would appreciate a real name change, I will gladly accept any of the above! I'm a people pleaser and I like them - who can blame me though?

[xp_daredevil]

Well, clearly Clint and I kept our parents names without changing, but our school/teachers/various others insisted on referring to us as "the kimura boys" and yeah....we learned to roll with it

[xp_bruiser]

Ouch. Is there a bruise?

[xp_echo]

Those platters are dangerous. Especially in herds.
