If you could change something about yourself here that you couldn't at home, would you do it?

And I hurt in places I didn't even know I had.

Charles, why didn't you bother to tell me that I always used my powers when I got into a fight? I would have been spared some of this agony if you had.

In the continuing series of "Kittys Across Parallel Dimensions Throw Parties For Jewish Holidays*", we're having a Purim bash down at the youth center tonight. Costumes highly encouraged. If you don't have one, we have silly hats and feather boas and you will have to wear one. There will be a ton of hamentaschen**, adult beverages for adults, and noisemakers for cursing Haman while we tell the story of Esther. Games and probably some dancing later on just for fun. Come one, come all, come party till you can't tell the difference between "cursed be Haman" and "blessed be Mordecai"!

* We're working on the title.
** Delicious cookies filled with jam and/or Nutella.

So, Kitty, Felicity and I were talking and we've decided that given the Jewish population here, having Hanukkah at anyone's apartment would probably be a little too crowded. So we're sending out an open invitation to Hannukah celebrations at the Youth Center. If you're Jewish, have friends or loved ones who are, or are just interested in learning more about our culture, you're more than welcome to come and join us. We'll also be having a traditional, for my reality anyway, Chinese food dinner on Christmas for anyone who doesn't have other plans or who doesn't celebrate.

For those who don't know, Hannukah begins Tuesday night.

( Derek, Peter, Malia, Stiles, Allison, Scott, Melissa, Erica )

You're all personally invited, obviously. I know you aren't Jewish, but you're family, so I hope to see you there.

You guys are all welcome to come and we really hope to see you.

I am so sorry everyone. I did not mean for this to happen. I was simply overwhelmed by my sudden relocation.

I promise, the snow and ice will go away in a few days. I really hope that I have not caused anyone too much trouble.

My name is Elsa.

I really do need to pay more attention to this thing. I suppose I'm still not all that used to all the gadgets of this particular time person. And, in any case, I get so caught up in my work sometimes. It's a dreadful habit.

Raven, my dear, I do miss your company. Perhaps we could find some time to spend together. Do you think you could spare a few hours for your favourite brother?

You as well, Erik, darling. I have procured a new chess set and would dearly like to break it in.

I really have no idea what I want to do here, beyond just really just wanting to do something. I can't exactly just pick up my old job here. Headmistress of a school for wayward mutants gifted youth isn't exactly something you can just apply for. I don't think anyway.

I'm thinking maybe teaching, once the school year starts. There's a few subjects I have enough experience in. In the meantime, does anyone know if there's a dance studio in town? I haven't really had a chance to explore as much as I'd like to.
