The Boards, Wednesday Evening

"Well, we've all survived," Jono intoned, looking around at the people who had gathered for the rehearsal today. "And just in the nick of time, too. I know the Nothing did a fair bit of eating into our rehearsal time, but the show is scheduled for Friday, tickets are on sale, and so help me, we're going to have something to show for this ( Read more... )

After talking to Dinah yesterday, Karla realized that time in Warren's world was going a lot slower. Which, technically, she'd known, but she hadn't actually thought of how it might affect things until that call.

And so now, praying that she wasn't waking him up at like four in the morn--wait. It was Jono. Ha! Sleeping.

Karla was calling now. Ringringring

Re: Talk to the Directors! apocalipped December 14 2011, 23:43:20 UTC

Aaaand Jono was actually checking his caller ID this time before answering, because heaven knew he didn't need to be blindsided today in the middle of rehearsal.

"Karla. Lord, woman, where are you?"

She was not here. That much, he'd gathered.

Re: Talk to the Directors! glacial_witch December 15 2011, 00:52:43 UTC

"In the Blackbird?" Karla, that should sound less like a question. "...Did you know there's a universe where Logan isn't short and stinky?"

He was also kind of emo. But Karla was trying to distract Jono with information, not make him think she'd lost her damn mind.

Re: Talk to the Directors! apocalipped December 15 2011, 00:57:46 UTC

"... No?"

Jono couldn't picture a tall, well-groomed Logan. It simply didn't compute. At all.

Actually, it was more difficult to swallow than Karla on the bloody Blackbird at the moment.

"Why are you on the Blackbird, Karla?"

Re: Talk to the Directors! glacial_witch December 15 2011, 01:06:13 UTC

Well, he was still kind of unkempt, but he at least showered regularly.

"Hey!"

"What?" Karla retorted, turning slightly away from the phone. "It's kind of a compliment! I said 'isn't,' didn't I?"

Turning back to her phone, she continued, "Because there's some guy named Magneto who isn't very nice. And is planning on taking out Warren's dad's company." Hmmm. Perhaps she could be a little sparing on details. "I guess he's not a big fan of infrastructure?"

Or the cure. But that was a legit grievance as far as Karla was concerned.

Re: Talk to the Directors! apocalipped December 15 2011, 01:08:38 UTC

Excuse Jono for a moment. He needed another moment to have a mental bluescreen.

"You're going up against Magneto!?" Yes, that squawk was probably loud enough to be heard through the Blackbird. "Karla! 'Isn't very nice' is a bit of a bloody understatement, I should think!"

Flailing. He was now flailing.

Re: Talk to the Directors! glacial_witch December 15 2011, 01:23:06 UTC

"I didn't want to ruin any timeline issues," Karla said primly. "Saying Magneto is an evil terrorist might have spoilered something for you. But there are, umm, eight of us. So...there's something."

Grasp at straws a little harder, Karla.

Re: Talk to the Directors! apocalipped December 15 2011, 01:26:11 UTC

"Eight of you? Which eight?"

Yes, Jono was sounding increasingly suspicious, here.

"Timeline issues are the least of my concerns in a reality where Warren is still a teenager, Karla. If you have anything metal on you, get rid of it. Anything. Bloody hell, Logan is going up against Magneto? He should know better than that!"

And now he was ranting. You're welcome.

Re: Talk to the Directors! glacial_witch December 15 2011, 01:44:33 UTC

He was just going to love this, wasn't he?

"So, uhh, it's me, Warren, Kitty--you said Kitty, right?--yeah, Kitty and fake!Bobby--"

"Hey!"

"I'm sorry, this is a private conversation, Fake!Bobby. Stop listening in."

"You're right there."

"You could still make more of an effort. Anyway, us and, umm...Colossus? That's us. They're all about our age. Then there's Logan, Miss Munroe, and Dr. McCoy, the ex-Secretary of Mutant Affairs."

"Hey kid. The phrase 'secret identity' mean anything to ya?"

"Chamber used to be an X-Man," Karla retorted. "In a universe where Warren's a millionaire playboy with a thing for teenagers, Fake!Bobby's an ass, and Logan is the only member of the team who gives a damn. And he's from the future, I think."

"Oh. Hey, does he have any idea how to take out Jean Grey?"

"Quiet, 'fake-Bobby.' I'm worrying about Jean. I don't need any help from Balcony, either."

"See? We're going to be fine!" Karla said brightly.

Re: Talk to the Directors! apocalipped December 15 2011, 01:54:28 UTC

"JEAN IS ON MAGNETO'S SIDE?!"

Yes, now Jono was roaring.

Roaring.

Enjoy that, Karla's ear.

"Where the hell is Scott!?"

Re: Talk to the Directors! glacial_witch December 15 2011, 02:13:20 UTC

"Ow!"

Karla pulled her phone away and glared. She was starting to miss the time when she could only get yelled at via text. On the other hand, people had seemed to stop doubting her, considering Jono apparently knew the right questions to ask.

"Not to be disrespectful or anything," she told him once Jono had stopped shouting, "but I think he, uhh, didn't survive his initial reunion with Jean. And Mr. Xavier--"

"Professor!" That correction was from several people at once.

"Professor Xavier also didn't make it."

It was okay, though, Jono. Logan had a plan.

Re: Talk to the Directors! apocalipped December 15 2011, 02:25:23 UTC

Jono's hand smacked against his forehead. So help him...

"Scott's dead. Xavier's dead again. Jean and Magneto are on the same side, and you're in the Blackbird with Wolverine, Storm, Iceman, Shadowcat, Colossus, and the Beast, flying to god-knows-where to face them down in order to save Warren's father's company. Is that about right?"

Re: Talk to the Directors! glacial_witch December 15 2011, 02:35:01 UTC

Karla was being polite, so she bit back the skeptical '...Shadowcat?' Even though she really, really wanted to say it.

"Mostly right. We're going to Alcatraz, though. That's where Warren's dad is." There were some strangled sounds THAT'S RIGHT, I MODDED YOU, DEAL WITH IT coming from the other end of the phone prompting her to add, "because he bought it and turned it into some kind of lab. He's not in Alcatraz. Or, rather, he's in there, but not because it's Alcatraz. I don't think he's in prison."

Yet.

"Yet."

"Bobby!"

"Sorry, Storm. But we were all thinking it!"

"Not true, my boy. Making the cure will probably earn him a medal."

"Someone's still a little bitter about the government's response," Karla confided.

Re: Talk to the Directors! apocalipped December 15 2011, 02:42:42 UTC

"Yes, well, Dr. McCoy can join the club," Jono sighed, shaking his head a little. "So you're... breaking into a high-security prison to face off against, of all people, Magneto and Jean. If you tell me Weapon X is in any way involved in this, too, I'm coming to get you."

Just so you know.

"You know there's nothing even remotely intelligent about what you're about to do, right?"

Just throwing that out there.

Re: Talk to the Directors! glacial_witch December 15 2011, 02:52:31 UTC

"What's Weapon X?" Karla asked, choosing to ignore his second question.

Re: Talk to the Directors! apocalipped December 15 2011, 02:57:04 UTC

"I'd tell you to ask Wolverine, but you might get an adamantium claw to the face," Jono replied, squeezing his eyes shut and pinching the bridge of his nose. "A well-groomed one."

Yeah. Not letting go of that just yet.

"No, you know what, if you don't know, they're probably not involved, and it's for the best you just keep not knowing. I'll tell you when you get back. In one piece. Because if you don't, I'm going to throttle you."
