[Good day, Luceti. I hope you didn't have any outdoor plans today; or if you did, hopefully you're willing to brave the outside with the weather as it is. It's dark and terribly windy, with ominous clouds hanging overhead - the Wicked Witch Ororo seems to have decided that no sun shall shine over the village until she feels like it. She much

[Storm being evil has given Rogue a headache. And having caught on to the experiment by now, she hardly feels like stepping in, despite it being an X-Man duty.

...and then she sees just who Storm has tied up and feels even less inclined to rescue him. But oh geeze.

Well. She might as well make sure Ororo's not going to do anything that they will all later... be glad she did.]

An' just what do you have planned ta do with the... princesses?

[Best. Dress. Ever. Clearly.]

[to be honest, Rogue, she hasn't thought that far ahead.]

[Not that it's obvious or anything, as Storm speaks with self-assured authority.]

There's no need to worry, Rogue. No harm will befall them as I only wish to talk. [Right now, anyway. Experiment or no, Storm can't bring herself to hurt innocents.]

[fierybluebird]

[Not that he would normally care much, but if she's going to go around capturing all the Princesses, Ace could be in trouble! And so he has to protect his nakama.]

Why are you capturing them? [Although really, it still doesn't sound like cares very much.]

[temperedtempest]

[... Another bird? Ororo is a little disappointed that her monologue isn't attracting more heroes.]

What should it matter to you, little bird?

[fierybluebird]

I'm not little. [He is a bit bigger than a human, though it's hard to tell in the journal.]

Maybe it matters and maybe it doesn't. You answer my question first if you want an answer back, eh.

[temperedtempest]

[Ororo considers.]

A fair trade. Very well, I shall tell you, little bird. [until she sees you up close, you'll be little to her, apparently.]

These princesses are mistaken, you see. They're not princesses at all.
