Will this thing just end?
So the blizzard hadn't let up. Still. And Vlad was not too happy being stuck inside yet again, there were things he wanted to do but...nobody was being allowed out. That left him with a bit of a problem about what to do now while he waited for it to let up.

Hoping there was something around to do, Vlad decides to go through the mansion and look for someone to hang out with.

	"Like I said some planning with the other guys and we might be able to beat them," Shane says. Lord knows Cait had already planned things out already for the next couple of years. "Heck if we're lucky we might be able to talk Rufus into helping out this year." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Need a secret team meeting then," he chuckles. "Man, I feel like that's a deal with the devil but it'd be worth it. He'd be real useful in a snowball fight. Any ideas how to help convince him?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I guess so," Shane says "Beats me. The kid hates the cold and snow. But yeah having some extra firepower could not hurt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Are we really surprised by that? It's expected. Might have to coax or bribe the kid though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not really all things considered," He says, "Though you are more than welcome to try to deal with him if you want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2012-11-11 04:10 am UTC (link)
	"No way," he laughs. "You brought him up, you deal with him. He hasn't pulled a prank on me since I came back and I'm not testing my luck. Only a matter of time before it happens and I'm sure he'll want to make up for lost time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't think so. I'm not inviting that kind of chaos onto myself," Shane says, "My lucks not all that great as it is." Especially given what it took to cause his abilities to manifest. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well that leaves a problem of who's going to deal with him. Maybe one of the other guys. Don't think any would be willing though..." The image of poor Fred dealing with Rufus was amusing but maybe not the best thing for the guy's mental health. "I mean, I might have done it if I thought being preemptive and taking whatever crazily planned thing he has for me early would mean it wouldn't be as bad as if I'd waited but...that's not going to work with him. It's just asking for the worst of it."

	"I have no idea who might be best for doing that," Shane says, "Probably would be better to leave that for when he have that big meeting. Best to wait till you play with fire I would think." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Big secret meeting," Vlad grins. "Maybe Mr. Team Captain Misha will end up having to do it. Poor whoever has to deal with Rufus either way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Secret would definitely be key," Shane says, "Though that might be hard with Lyta being back." Telepaths do make that type of thing tough. "Oh definitely. I feel sorry for whoever has to do. But I definitely won't." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2012-11-11 05:49 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, add in Rachel and it's even harder. Though we've got Starbridge on our side so maybe he can help out with that a bit. Still, going to be tough," he agrees. "Hey, you survived being electrocuted the first time, maybe you can survive Rufus," Vlad teased. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lightningbolt 2012-11-11 06:23 am UTC (link)
	"Still not really all that fun for us to have to deal with," He says, "But actual planning instead of planning by ear would probably be smart." "I really would not push my luck there. Barely survived that first time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2012-11-11 06:29 am UTC (link)
	"Nope, certainly not fun. A real plan might be better, gotta organize the troops and maybe not get constantly trounced by the girls." "Hey, we can say if you survived that you must be real lucky. Good chance of maybe surviving Rufus," he laughed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds like something Cyclops would say. The man loves a good plan." "Still really painful though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Awww no!" He fell back against the couch laughing. "You did not just compare me to him! I'm nowhere near serious enough." "Well, no pain no gain they say right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lightningbolt 2012-11-12 05:52 pm UTC (link)
	Shane laughs. "Well you are talking about how awesome plans are and rallying the troops." "So they the one with the higher level of pain tolerance should do it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I usually just wing it but it's clearly not going to work for everything. Besides, I missed the last two years of snowball fights, gotta make up for lost time," he grins. "Watch out if I start getting laser eyes though." "Nah, but then according to the saying there'd be no gain since no pain was felt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lightningbolt 2012-11-12 06:04 pm UTC (link)
	"I usually just plan enough not to hurt other people," Shane says. Electricity could be rather dangerous. "I'll keep an eye out for laser eyes than." "Well then it would be possible to deal with more pain before it gets bad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I find it funny how we can rush for Danger Room time but nobody wants to deal with Rufus," Vlad chuckled. "Well, more out of fear of pranks. He's still a good kid." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lightningbolt 2012-11-12 06:11 pm UTC (link)
	Shane laughs. "I think no one wants to make it more likely to become a target of his if they can help it. But yeah he is definitely still a good kid." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I bet he has a list of how often he's pranked each person and has a quota. I should be worried." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lightningbolt 2012-11-12 06:26 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't think anyone knows but him. Even the telepaths. I'd only be worried if you don't see him for a while." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2012-11-12 06:29 pm UTC (link)
	"He hasn't pranked me since I came back. Add in those years and that's a looong time for no pranks. I should just resign myself to it shouldn't I?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lightningbolt 2012-11-12 06:32 pm UTC (link)
	"I'd be careful if I were you then. Not that it would probably do much good. He'll get you sooner or later." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
