Test thread: Arrival.
What was that thing in the Institute backyard, a new twist on the traditional N'garai Holiday Cairn?

Margarete Logan Wagner of the House of Elphburg still wouldn't know after she'd fallen with a 'wumph' into a somersault onto...well, still the Xavier's backyard. But something was off....

Twelve mile morning run and then being able to get close enough to a deer to touch it one the nose? Yeah, the morning had been going pretty good for Rose, as she returned to the Xaiver backyard proper.

She stopped and flared her nostrils, taking in all the various scents. Most were weak, having filtered out over the night and few of the students and staff were quite this an early riser, most days.

But...

She hurried to track the scent to its source.

"I don't flippin' believe it."

	Gretchen's funny feeling about this is accelerating. She seriously wasn't standing where she had been a moment ago. "Oh, Terrific," she mutters. Then she hears someone and turns. "...Rose! Where in Heaven's name have you been?" And she'll dart right over. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rose's expression turned uneasy. "Yeah, see, Elf... the thing about that is, is well, I ain't back, you're gone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ah. Well, then. Where in Heaven's name are we?" Pause. "And my mom's panic attack is going to make your mom's look like a meditation on equipoise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Gretchen's arrival had Rose's thoughts turning to poor Jake and what effect this might have on Kurt. "Well, the good news is there's still a school and there's still X-Men. Bad news is ain't hardly anybody with the right people." She almost laughed. "She gonna send out the royal marines?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

" 'The law's still on the books you know; I'm pretty sure I can have someone beheaded for this'," Gretchen says with clear imitation. Queen Judith didn't actually support the death penalty, but if the title 'Her Most Serene Majesty' had ever made sense, the House of Elphburg had changed over the centuries.

"So..." She continued, trying to keep joking to avoid having a panic attack herself. "How weird is this 'with the wrong people' thing? Is Spider-Man on the X-Men? Did your mom marry Aunt Ororo?"

	"Yeah, well, get in-line," Rose joked. "'s not all bad though. Picked up a few more relatives and they ain't too bad." She smiled at Gretchen's jokes. "Worse," she said with a shudder. "Summers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Obviously feigned sympathetic look is obviously feigned. "Awwww! You and Anastasia get to be stepsisters!" Pause. "Is she here with you? Is she okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rose nodded. "Annie showed up a while ago. She's fine, if maybe kinda homesick." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...Understandable." A pause. "So what happens now?" She asks, still trying not to look worried. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I bring ya indeed, possibly wake somebody up, and we start gettin' ya settled. Which includes introducin' ya to yer dad and sister." She left out any mentions of Jake. No sense bringing that up right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	indigogirl 2010-07-22 01:33 am UTC (link)
	"A sister. Ausgezeichnet," Gretchen says, staying positive. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2010-07-22 01:38 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah," Rose agreed. "Hope you get along better than I do with mine." "Brothers ain't so bad. Even if one of them's a major dork." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How dorky is he?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He is the Prince of Dorks," Rose declared. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Gretchen chuckles. "Great. Maybe he'll need rescuing. My dad has /strong views/ about how to handle a transdimensional escapade, you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2010-07-22 01:54 am UTC (link)
	That got a laugh out of her. Gretchen always could make her laugh like nobody else. "I got ya, Elf," she said. "You be sure and tell him you're available for rescue services." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Great." Deep breath. "Okay. Let's do this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't worry," Rose said. "Yet gonna knock 'em dead." (Reply to this)(Parent)
