[open log] Packing, planning, general running around!

[jono-stars.livejournal.com]

Characters: Everyone! Even if you plan for your characters not to go on this trip, they can be doing other things here or talking about what they plan to do while the others are away.
Setting: The mansion.
Content: An open, free-for-all thread for all characters to talk about planning for their upcoming getaway to London (Jono's trip, which everyone else has appropriated for the whole school)
Status: Open and incomplete. Really, just talk about anything!

Jono was in the kitchen of the X-mansion, stocking up on snack foods for the plane ride, but it seemed to surprise Josh how little he was packing. "I'm going to pack for the plane," Jono explained, "and then buy food there. You didn't expect me to bring food to my hometown, did you? I have to eat what I can get over there!"

Meanwhile, some members of the staff were surveying the damage done to the west wing of the mansion during their recent attack by Kimura. "Oh well," Logan shrugged it off. "We'll bill it to the school, and anyway, most of the kids will be gone for the trip. Saves a lot of hassle not having people around for the construction."

Fortunately for the students, most of their living quarters hadn't been damaged, so they were able to pack their still-intact clothes and other necessities. As the days grew nearer to the trip, anticipation and excitement levels were rising.

"What's the deal with you and Gayle, now?" Josh asked Jono, as the two of the paused for a cookie break.

"Dunno," Jono answered with a shrug. "I mean... we'll see." He stuffed more cookies into his mouth and then said for an abrupt change in topic, "I wonder what everyone else is up to."

"That's funny," Jono said. "I thought you'd been just about everywhere!"

"I wish! Having your own set of wings and a bit of money doesn't guarantee it, either," Warren said, grinning. He finished his cookie. "What's the one thing you're most looking forward to once we're there?"

"Eh..." Jono faltered. "I can't really say I'm particularly looking forward to seeing Gayle again. More like I can't wait to get it over with. It's just going to be a relief when that's all over."

"Fair enough. Hopefully it works out. But I was really talking in terms of the sightseeing, Jono! The London Eye, Tower of London, that big gerkin thing..."

"Oh, right. Sure, we can go see all the buildings and things," Jono nodded. "Whatever you guys want to do. I mean, there's not much I have to go see, so I'll just come tag along with you lot."

"Your lack of enthusiasm is disappointing me, Mr. Starsmore," Warren said, half-jokingly.

Jono grinned at this. "Well, your lack of faith in me disturbs me," he said, in a terrible Darth Vader imitation. "I'll have plenty of touristy crap all lined up, you'll see."
