This is not really goodbye...
Apr. 10th, 2006 01:52 pmWell, I might as well make this clear before the rumors get out of hand, though I have nabbed some of you already on this so it won't be news to all...
(Er, also, yeah. Haroun and I eloped last week. But, not what this is about. Ahem.)
A month or so ago, the Professor approached me with a proposal regarding the creation of an annex to the school, located on the West Coast, specifically in California. As the plans formalized Haroun and I were asked, and agreed, to go set it up and get it going. Others will be going with us, to form an emergency response unit as we have here – Piotr and Warren will be transferring there with us to form the core of the West Coast team, along with Haroun and myself. Others may come and go (or return) depending on the needs, here and there. We'll also be looking into adding people to our staff there, while we build the location up for training of mutants, offering as we do here at the school both a safe haven, or a place merely to adjust to new abilities, depending as ever on the preference of the students, teenagers and adults alike. (We'll be needing help, without a doubt, so don't be surprised if we heist some of you over now and then, yes. *coughs*)
I'd have Haroun post something, but he's already drooling over potential plans to have a go at designing a smaller (much smaller) version of the Blackbird, so saying that he's a bit busy right now would be the understatement of the year. ;)
So, that's the long and the short of it, really. We'll be heading out there for preliminary site inspections in a few days, most likely. Any pouncing and offers of ideas/suggestions are more than welcome, as will be visits and calls and emails.
...
I'm going to miss you all. Which is silly, since we're hardly going that far away and we'll easily be in reach, but I'll miss you all nonetheless. It's been an unforgettable time here, at the mansion, with so many things learned, so much change and progress made and so many new friends and family... ah. I'm losing words now. Pretty sad for a songwriter, no? But I'll miss you all. As silly as it is since we're not going so far away at all, I'll miss being here, with all of you, very much.
(So. Come visit often, yes. And call. And email. Lots.)
All my love,
Alison.
