All Teams

[xp_hawkeye]

Hello, Tuesday. You feel like a Monday and I do not approve.

In necessary updates:

We've had a few quiet missions over the last month, but nothing exciting beyond what was in the mission reports. Dealing with the construction crew demoing while attempting to go on the missions was the most hectic part and I'm not sure that made it into the reports, though.

Thanks to everyone who played distraction by bringing down "catered" lunches for the crew to get them out of the way. Your assistance was/is much appreciated and if you'll let me know your favorite liquor, I'll leave a bottle outside your door sometime in the coming week.

Also, thank you to all the senior members of the teams and medical for coming around to check over the final blueprints for the renovations to the Chapel. Your input was seriously helpful and we managed to work in most of the suggestions for security as well as containment of potential hostiles, isolation suites in case of another exposure to an exotic virus/bacteria/illness of some kind, and managed to figure out the underground tunnel situation. You're all amazing.

Coffee's on me at the next information exchange/update.

I still want all of you to actually have solid hand to hand training. Look I KNOW you're not us, and like, you're capable, Mols is capable, I'm assuming Yana will stab a bitch, but you guys have dealt with Some Shit lately. "security for potential hostiles" like I can't do the tech side but I can do the 'make sure all of you know how to break kneecaps with your boots"

[xp_daredevil]

hand to hand is all I have Kyle

[xp_wildchild]

I mean yeah, you're in the 'capable' list, I'm just posting like, from outside while fixing part of the coop so it wasn't a comprehensive list. the chimkins distracted me. Eggatha is pecky today.

[xp_daredevil]

want some help?

[xp_wildchild]

might need some help laughing so hard I fell in the mud

[xp_wildchild]

I mean physically I am fine I'm just sitting in mud

[xp_daredevil]

right? be right there.

[xp_forge]

I defeat people with high technology and/or the power of Gun.

Hand to hand is not my thing. Hell, I only have one real hand.

[xp_magik]

in interest of "team unity" and "professionalism" i am willing to teach u how to stab with sharp thing no longer than soulsword.

[xp_forge]

I'm also not terribly fond of bladework. Knives are OK for up-close work but if I'm up close something has gone horribly wrong and I'm probably about to be very dead.

[xp_magik]

that is fine offer is out there if u ever decide to take

[xp_hawkeye]

Leveling up your knife fighting wouldn't be a bad thing, though. Just in case somebody does actually make it to you. I'd rather you have a chance than just go splat.

[xp_submariner]

Hm. This has been noted.

[xp_wildchild]

I would never presume that you need training, your imperial highmajesty. I meant the squishy ones. The megs. Kitty. Alani.

[xp_magik]

i will stab and kick but learning punching is prob smart ty

[xp_hawkeye]

Yeah, some hand-to-hand wouldn't do you any harm. Just in case something happens. I don't actually understand the mechanics of your sword, but it's always good to have a backup plan.

[xp_magik]

its a soulsword the mechanics are right there clint

[xp_wildchild]

You are on the punchy kicky list. I know you know how to kick, but I'm calling it the punchy kicky list.

[xp_magik]

this is fine maybe i can learn to kick high enough to break a nose or something. i mean usually i just stick to groins but that doesnt always work demon anatomy gets weird

[xp_wildchild]

Knees. We kick all the knees. knees knees knees. Ankles. We punch noses. Knees only bend one way, if you want to hurt something, make the knees bend the wrong way.

I mean I kick noses, but I also can put my big toe on my nose, so I'm abberant.

[xp_magik]

what abt kicking throats thats soft tissue right

[xp_wildchild]

Yes, and it hurts like a motherfucker. So does punching throats.

[xp_magik]

maybe will stick to stabbing then

[xp_hawkeye]

Kyle. Boobuddy. Favorite feral mutant friend-o-mine. We do our time in the DR and I've been personally overseeing the hand-to-hand the Meg(g)ans and Alani have learning. We're not entirely getting our asses handed to us on the other sides of the portals.

That said, I am more than happy to turn that training over to you directly because good god, I have so much other stuff on my plate right now. Thanks, you're the best!

[xp_wildchild]

I mean I know you guys are pretty good for it, but like

... it's dimension stuff. It's smushed up dimension and dead friends stuff.

[xp_hawkeye]

Bro. I legit apologize. I didn't even think about it like that.

Take Illyana, too, and Kitty. I know she had training before, but more brushing up is never bad. Also, I'll go hand-to-hand with you any day. You're like an inch taller than me and I know you're built like a brick shithouse, but it'd be fun and I haven't practiced against somebody with a healing factor in ages.

[xp_wildchild]

okay but like, spy rules apply. I'll tape down my claws and wont' bite, you don't get to shoot me in the butt with arrows or bullets.

stabbing's fine mostly just not the eyes I need those

[xp_darcy]

I can always use more HTH. You want a baseline assistant?

[xp_wildchild]

Yes. Yes I super do. Me showing people thinks is not always a thing that works because I am like ... over a foot taller than some people here.

Also because I can scratch the back of my head with my foot and I forget sometimes people aren't that bendy.

[xp_hawkeye]

Does being that bendy come in handy in other ways?

[xp_wildchild]

I wanna be like, a dick and pretend IDK what you are talking about but yeah. Yeah it does.

[xp_banshee]

He's talking about what I think he's talking about, isn't he?

[xp_darcy]

I would love to be that bendy sometimes. But yeah, I'll shoot you my calendar, block in whatever time works for people and I'll show up.

[xp_velocidad]

I barely understand what's going on around here anymore, and I need someone to explain it to me.

[xp_magik]

i can bring u some poptarts and put it in small words if u need

[xp_velocidad]

Remarkably condescending.

[xp_magik]

no trust me its better in small words

[xp_velocidad]

Not finding that reassuring.

[xp_magik]

the other version has big science words

[xp_hawkeye]

I can do that for you.

[xp_velocidad]

Someone should.

[xp_hawkeye]

Let me know when you want me to get you up to speed.

[xp_velocidad]

...Is that a pun about my powers?

[xp_hawkeye]

Absolutely not. And I'm not being sarcastic or ironic there. This is not an Alanis Morrisette song.

[xp_velocidad]

Well, then, yes, I will take your sure-to-be-incredibly-interesting recap.

[xp_hawkeye]

It's not a class. I was thinking lunch.

[xp_velocidad]

Deal.
