I don't want to freak anyone out and I don't wanna answer any questions until I've showered but we had a sliiiiight kidnapping situation happen today.

We are all good, no one's (physically) hurt and we are heading home with the same amount of kids I left with. Yay!

Also, I rented a party bus to get us home because that was the only thing I could rent at this time of the day. I can get reimbursed for this, right?

I think that's a Scott question, whether you can expense that or not...

[xp_rogue]

Aw come on, Clint. Pretend I work for you and give me my money back. It was oddly cheaper than I thought too get this but I had to pay for a driver and this kid looks so confused...

[xp_cypher]

If not I can probably get Emma to expense it.

Glad to hear everyone's safe and sound. Let me know if you need any help with anything.

[xp_emplate]

Ah, yes. This is the Xavier's life I remember.

You have my admiration for managing to keep the abduction under the 24 hour mark. That's always quite the challenge.

[xp_rogue]

I'm getting too old to be kidnapped for a weekend. I wanna be in my pjs already.

[xp_emplate]

I can't say time improved the experience for me. Then again, there are degrees of kidnapping. Nothing too traumatic for those involved, one hopes?

[xp_jubilee]

At least it wasn't a hell dimension. Like, dude, the rental cost alone

[xp_emplate]

Do we know it wasn't one? My experience with party buses does not particularly lend itself to the celestial.

[xp_rogue]

I'm pretty sure we were firmly in this dimension the whole time.

Blah. Have a drink ready for me, babe -- I'm going to need it.

[xp_jubilee]

We got you. Strong liquor or something fruity and with little umbrellas?

[xp_rogue]

Bourbon. Straight. And maybe a cigar. I'm channeling Logan mighty hard right now.

[xp_rogue]

I don't know about the others but Emily will probably not be okay for a while.... I got this though, once I've slept.

We'll be fine :)

[xp_emplate]

As you say. I won't trouble you further until you've had your well-earned yet quite unnecessary beauty sleep, but let it be known I am available for commiseration.

[xp_rogue]

Merci, mon choux. When I take over the world one day, I'll remember this kindness.

[xp_emplate]

You say "take over" as if this is a condition the rest of us would accept only under duress.

[xp_wildchild]

It's real bad when I opened this and went "that fuckin guy AGAIN"

[xp_cannonball]

……both of my sisters got kidnapped today…okay

[xp_echo]

They’re with Rogue and they're on their way home. Given how these things go, that's not okay but at least the best worst you could hope for. (I know that's not helpful)

[xp_rogue]

Aw sugar, everyone is fine. Tired, but fine. We should be home soon, okay?

You wanna help, maybe put some tea on for those that want a hot drink? Or maybe a soup? We're like 45 mins away.

[xp_cannonball]

Yeah- yeah, I’ll get some tea on.
Thanks for makin sure they get home safe

[xp_longshot]

I've got two hands ready to help if you want company, Sam.

[xp_cypher]

Crazy stuff is an unfortunate reality of life at the mansion. If you want something a bit stronger than tea, I've got you covered.

[xp_cannonball]

Oh trust me, I had bourbon - but thanks Doug. I appreciate it

[xp_longshot]

... Huh. Well, that'll take some detectin'.

Going to hold you to answering questions later. But — are any of the kids going to need someone to talk to right off?

[xp_cyclops]

I...ah...another day at the mansion.

It's sad when this is the norm, but I'm glad everyone's safe.

Include your receipts with your report and I'll arrange to have you paid back. Oh yes, you'll need to write up a report too.
