[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."

Re: DITTOOOOO AHHHH AW BOBBY.

Maybe she had. Maybe she wanted him to leave. She could not make the decision to leave when he was there. No matter what Kevin or Scott said, she did not belong, and she brought danger with her. She was a danger in and of herself.

Yet there was a feeling: hurt, when he turned to go. She felt it as panic and all at once she wanted him to stay. This didn't make sense. This frightened her, the impulsiveness of her dormant emotions, the sudden flares of them that seemed t crop up in his presence. At the mention of his name.

"You are concerned for me," she spoke abruptly, and some of that emotion bled into her eyes, some of her hardness softened. "Scott Summers asked me if I needed anything. Kevin Ford apologized for nearly killing me. Bobby, I don't understand. I have only brought trouble. I don't belong here."

Oh, Laura. I just want to give her a HUUUUUUUG

He turned again, and the hint of emotion in her expression moved him in some inexplicable way. He shook his head. "Why would you even think that?"

UGHHH I KNOW. I wanna hug them both. :3

"Because it's true," she said evenly, her gaze level and hardening into blankness yet again.

Hahahaha, oh Bobby and his idealism...

[never-too-cold.livejournal.com]

"No," he said firmly. "It's not."

His expression softened and he met her gaze steadily. "We care about you, Laura. And we look after each other. The danger doesn't matter."

Her brows furrow a little, her gaze unwavering. She's not angry anymore, but she has listened to Bobby's firm, unrelenting words. He was sure of them; they were nearly orders. And maybe selfishly, she would like to believe them. She wanted this home. Wanted the home Logan had told her about. This home.

"Okay," she replied obediently.

[never-too-cold.livejournal.com]

"Okay," he echoed with a small smile.

He looked past her to the half-packed bag on her bag.

"Hey, you're coming to London with us?" The small smile eased into a full one.
