Alright, team -

I know everyone's probably got plans for tomorrow night and I'm not one to rain on parades, but I think we should move our usual Saturday morning DR session to Saturday afternoon. Mostly because I crave sleep like most people crave caffeine and/or sugar. I need it so bad.

We'll be continuing our 'powers interactions, boosts, and interplay' training. It never hurts to know specifically how you and your teammates can work together in varied situations where other weapons and/or tactics aren't available or applicable. Also, I keep seeing all these videos of people with amazing spatial perception and coordination doing things as groups that are just ridiculous. We can totally do things like that. Or adapt those techniques and styles, if we want.

Bring an afternoon snack, if you'd like, and enough water to keep you well hydrated. No one's falling out because of low blood sugar or dehydration on my watch. And your thoughts on potential powers interactions - definitely bring those, too.

Alani, you expressed some interest in learning CPR and other medic related stuff, so I'll point you toward Clarice, same as I did Megan and Meggan. Ladies, how're things going on that front?

And finally, (I know, I keep adding things onto the end of this message, sorry) we've got a rough workup for improving security at the portal, but I think it'd be beneficial for all of us to come together to discuss other security concerns we might have. If we're going to invest in further, heavy renovations to the Chapel's subbasement, we should at least try to incorporate as many of them as we can all in one go. No suggestion is too silly to at least throw at the group. I'm serious. You've all been gifted the little pea pod pouches by Tasha, so you know I have no shame and neither should any of you when it comes to being prepared in case of emergencies.

Right. So, spare limbs, Gatorade, frybread, and some reach out and touch someone. Got it.

Interactions, well, I make shit. Not a whole lot of intersectionality there, other than stuff I make being useful to other people. Potentially. If they learn not to break my toys.

Given I'm not the most mobile of people, I think I could best be used as the Man in the Chair. Comms clearinghouse, that sort of thing.

[xp_hawkeye]

Yeah, but they're never gonna learn how to not break your toys if you don't let them play with them to begin with. You're up high playing radio tower and overwatch or somewhere near a 'base' setup throwing things at people that might be useful against whatever the DR's throwing at them.

Also, no accidentally cheating and figuring out how to interfere with the tech making the DR work. Besides the fact that Kane and Scott would probably come after us with intent to maim if not actually murder us, we don't wanna ruin anyone else's fun teambuilding exercises.

[xp_forge]

Already promised the Powers That Be that I'm not gonna fuck with the Danger Room without supervision and permission.

What's the phrase? Call out patterns and strays? Can-do. Might even build myself some goggles to bump my eyesight, see farther, more clearly.

Possibilities.

[xp_hawkeye]

Patterns and strays, that's it.

Plan on making the goggles part of your kit?

[xp_magik]

can i boost forge into limbo we can see how his limbs interact with demons

ill bring him back in time for lunch

[xp_forge]

You're not nearly as funny as you think you are, Rasputina.

[xp_magik]

ill bring u back for lunch! ill even bring u a pudding cup for getting my name right.

[xp_forge]

Hey, Clint?

Permission to cap Illyana?

[xp_hawkeye]

Permission denied.

Unless it's with a paintball gun. Those are good for realism so far as cause and effect are concerned. What're all the kids saying these days? Fuck around and find out?

[xp_forge]

She's a Blue Falcon, man, and you know it.

[xp_hawkeye]

Harsh. She hasn't done anything that's actually hurt anybody. At least not that I've seen. If you have legit concerns, bring them to me in a non-public way?

[xp_magik]

i dont even have wings dude u need to get ur eyes checked

also u lose ur pudding cup for trying to kill me

[xp_hawkeye]

No one is doing any killing.

Obviously, since we're working together with as opposed to against one another. Don't make me break out the team timeout. I will use it.

[xp_magik]

dropping him in limbo IS timeout clint

[xp_hawkeye]

Timeout as a team.

We can't all go to Limbo.

[xp_magik]

we could but i would need to make more than one trip

[xp_submariner]

We are intrigued by team bonding that involves dropping people into Limbo. It would be a valuable exercise in team interplay.

[xp_magik]

ur the best u can have the extra pudding cup instead

[xp_hawkeye]

In what way?

[xp_submariner]

My mastery of flight and strength allows a brilliant opportunity to foes, annoying strangers, troublesome allies... there are many options, into this "timeout."

[xp_loa]

Awwww, boss, you remembered. 💖 Thanks for holding me accountable for the things I say but forget about then don't act on because it's been so long.

Also of note, I've restocked the electrolyte, but there was a sale on sour green apple so that's the flavor currently taking up the re-hydration fridge.
