Academy X

Who: Josh Foley & Alani Ryan (with a later appearance by Laurie Collins)
When: Tuesday morning, Josh’s birthday. Right before noon.
Where: Josh and Alex’s dorm
What: BEST BIRTHDAY SURPRISE EVER! /sarcasm. Alani goes to give Josh his "present" but then casually mentions that she's going to go get the cure. Probably not the best thing to say to your not-boyfriend friend who is a boy.
Rating: PG-13? There is cursing.

( At any rate, it was obvious that their ‘solution’ to not complicate things by not communicating had seriously backfired. )

Look what you missed out on tonight. Mele Kalikimaka, Josh.

who: Logan and Josh
when: Friday night. Backdated.
where: The Boys Men's Restroom
what: Wolverine hasn't been the greatest adviser, preferring a hands-off approach. All that's about to change now that he's learned not only his team remains scoreless but his squad leader doesn't bother to come to training.

( FOLEY! )

Who: Vanessa and Josh (and OT Alex), then Pete Wisdom
When: Backdated to Wednesday, a little after dinner
Where: The halls

WHEN: Nighttime, after dinner, 'round 8pm.
WHAT: This. Is. XBOX!
RATING: High because Alex get's really competitive and curse.. wordy. I'm sure others might as well.
HOW?: We are doing this via 'dialogue only' -- what you write is what other's are saying in their headsets. Time for some Halo, kiddies.

( Stop pressing A. )

who: Rahne and Josh
when: Tuesday, mid afternoon

what: Rahne accosts Josh for not reminding her of Danielle's birthday.

( He's a battered boy toy. )

who: Rahne and Josh
when: 1 year ago

When: April 11, 2010 - 12:16 AM
Where: Kitty and Jubilee's Room (Sorry Jubilee!)
What: After being poked and prodded at about who she made out with at the museum, Kitty finally spills it and it doesn't exactly go over very well. At least to Kitty standards it doesn't. The Bros and Dominic to the rescue!

( This was why she didn't date! This was why she never wanted to pay much attention to boys. Or relationships. Or dating. Or anything that was normal for a girl her age. )

Who: EVERYBODY!
When: Foredated to Tuesday morning
Where: The American Museum of Natural History, New York City
What: Field Trip! Feel free to branch off into separate threads if you want to. *There is a nifty floor plan of the museum here: http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/floorplan/pdfs/AMNH_Floorplan_English.pdf

All of the students and staff members had been herded out to the drive way promptly at 7 am on Tuesday morning where a large charter bus was waiting. Before they left, the Professor gave everyone a run down of the usual rules: stay in your groups, be on your best behavior, no powers, listen to the staff, and so on and so forth. Those who needed image inducers had been fitted with them the day before and given a tutorial by Dr. McCoy on how to use them. Dr. McCoy made sure of course to remind everyone to be mindful of the devices and to keep an eye on the batteries. Finally Scott read the list of the groups aloud so that everyone knew who they were supposed to be with before they all piled into the vans for the four hour drive to New York City.

After a carefully timed (by Scott of course) pit stop or two, the bus finally pulled up in front of the American Museum of Natural History around noon. The professors ushered the students out and corralled their own groups together. There were quite a few ways to make one's way through the museum, and each professor had a different track to take. Everyone was supposed to meet back in the main lobby at 5 o'clock. Xavier tried very hard to plan everything, trusting Scott to keep the order. But the best laid plans - they never go right.

The professors took their groups through the large doors of the entrance. The group remained large as tickets were passed out, guides picked up, paths selected. The group branched into two still-large groups first, as there were only so many entrances to the exhibits, and then each group splintered off until the six groups had separated and started on their tours.

( I HAVE THINGS TO TELL YOU. WAIT. WAIT. LET ME FINISH. LET ME FINISH. )

Backdated to sometime during the car ride after the stop at the Drake House.

It was as a lightbulb went off in his head. A sense of knowing, like a sixth sense. Something was wrong. Or he was just incredibly bored and it hit him that he could actually call Thing 1 and Thing 2 while they were away. Their plan to leave him in regards to making the moves on Lorna were premature. Something with parents and estranged dad's or something got in the way. But Alex was going to say he just knew something was wrong. It sounded way better.

Grabbing his phone and dialing Bobby, he didn't even give the other boy a chance to speak when he answered. Time was of the utmost bro-importance. "I felt a disturbance in the force. Speaker phone me, Bobbert."

Who: Bobby, Josh, and the Drakes
When: Friday night [foredated]
Where: Drake residence
What: After classes, the dysfunctional duo head downstate for the Drake family reunion.
Warnings: Very long. Other than that? Nothing ...yet.

( I might have forgot to warn them. Y'know. )
