Whahuh?

[x_dazzler]

Ow. Have wicked crick in neck. OW.

There are puddles of water everywhere. I stepped in one and now my socks are soaked.

Why are there puddles of water everywhere? Is it the squid thing?

I need coffee I think. I may try to actually read the journals after. Wait. Should I?

The squid is not to blame for the puddles... at least, not this time. *g* And don't worry, I promise to secure it in the lab at night so it can't creep around on its own. (Although I may have to lock Forge in with it... I don't think he wants to leave its side, not now that he's got the protective panel off and can see some of the inner mechanism...)

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Oh. Who is to blame for the puddles then? Just asking. La la la.

(Socks. WET. Very wet. And cold too.)

I remember you promising to lock something up in the lab before, Hank. I really do. So, if I see the squid thing creeping around in the hallway on its own in the middle of the night, will you be horribly upset with me if I react first and think later? (Huh. Is Catseye there? With the panel being open and all. How sensitive is the thing's internal mechanism and all?)

[x-beast.livejournal.com]

Don't hurt the squid! It's completely harmless unless you happen to look exactly like a tasty form of sealife. If it gets out... and I can't imagine how it would... just let me know and I'll come and get it.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

What if I just look tasty? What about then, huh?

A girl has to be allowed to defend herself, y'know.

*nods wisely*

Still. I guess I could just scream. Real loud.

[x-beast.livejournal.com]

As delectable as you always look, my dear, I doubt the squid will mistake you for one of its own kind. *g* Not enough limbs.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

You said tasty form of sealife! Are you saying squids are cannibals now and eat each other?

(Not that I mind. Being delectable but certainly not squid like. Uh huh.)

[x-beast.livejournal.com]

This squid was actually built for the purpose of hunting other squid. And shark. And a few other things. The builder has a thing for really *fresh* sushi.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

You do realize, I'm craving sushi now?

*grin*

[x-beast.livejournal.com]

So am I, now that I think about it. I wonder if Lorna can make it?

Or I could always make more Twinkie Sushi. ;)

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Lorna most certainly can. Between the combined power of both our pleading expressions, surely she shall fall!

(GAH. No. Nonononono! Especially not near a certain little highly hyperactive boy!)

You feel asleep in the briefing room. I left you there - you were quite cute, drooling on your notes.

And the puddles? You missed a Super-Soaker battle extraordinaire. Pity. I kicked ass superlatively. Lost count of how many of the little buggers darlings I got.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

I DO NOT DROOL! TAKE IT BACK!!!

And those chairs were not made for sleeping in. Ooow. Neck is all stiff.

Oh. Wait - so I can blame you for the wet cold socks currently on my feet then? (And go you. ;) Anyone think to take pictures?)

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

You do indeed drool.

And, well... I didn't start it?

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Crush my ego, why don't you.

So that's a valid excuse now? Ha! I'll have to remember that then! :D

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

I just sealed my own doom, didn't I?

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Yes. You did.

*beams*

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Ah, well. So long as you make my eventual demise an interesting one.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

I'll do my best and be as creative as possible.

*wise nod*

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Good. Because my ghost will mark you, on efficiency and originality.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Well then, that's a challenge, isn't it? ;)

*cackles*

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

Of course there are pictures. Hoestly, what do you take me for. Hell, I've even made copies of some of the better security cam shots. (I was in the server room, working on an upgrade Dr. McCoy wanted done. I was not hacking into the security files.)

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Vid! I want vid.

*wise nod*

(I never thought you were.)

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

There will be copies on the server soon, and I'm keeping copies in other, safer places, too.

(Just being sure. You never know what some people will think.)

This just in...

Alison Blaire, mutant superstar extraordinaire, drools in her sleep.

Film at Eleven.

Meanie...

Pbhhhhhhhhht!

The water is all Mr. Summers' fault. Do not let anyone try and convince you differently. He has a water cannon that violates most strategic arms treaties and all forms of common sense. Plus he cheats.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

It's not exactly cheating. I think he refers to it as "making use of everything at hand and the kitchen sink too" most of the time. ;)

Build a bigger can- no. No. I'm not enabling that.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

I'm not thinking "bigger" so much as I'm thinking "rate of fire" and "automated guidance system"...

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Too late!

The problem with water guns once you cross a certain line with the size, though, is that you need super-strength to carry the ammunition. What we really need is some way to make water lighter, because while stationary artillery emplacements look cool on paper, in actual water fights they get pretty lonely.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Make water...lighter.

That's brilliant. I'll see what I can do.

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. They've teamed up.

Jamie is too full of random ideas for this to be anything other than just the beginning. We're all doomed.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Oh. So. Doomed.

We need a good place to hide out. Yep.

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

We should start stocking the bunker in sub-basement four.

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Accusations of cheating are the last refuge for he who needs to work on his marksmanship.

But yes. It's a very nice water cannon, mine.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

I wholeheartedly assert that you would never have gained the advantage had I not armed Manuel only to have him turn on me. Damn Spanish mercenaries.
