New Mutants

Just in case you thought you might get out of it, the volunteer time you were supposed to do last month is being rescheduled for next weekend (Feb. 23). Place is the same - NYC Free Clinic is doing a food drive this month - time is still 3 p.m., and Jean-Phillipe will still be driving you, so still no excuses.

I feel like this is a trap.

[identity profile] x-minibruiser.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
What if we get attacked by a monster made of canned food?

[identity profile] x-firestar.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Then...call me and I'll come set it on fire.

Seriously, though, it's going to be fine. Just normal volunteer time at a normal clinic.

[identity profile] x-minibruiser.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
It's never normal. :(

Do we have to go?

[identity profile] x-firestar.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

Is there anything I can do to make you feel better about it?

(That goes for any of you, by the way. I'm around if someone wants to talk).

[identity profile] x-skin.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Want me to go along with you, Princess? 'Cause I will, and then if there's scary food monsters, I'll defend you.

[identity profile] x-skin.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. But you don't want to stay in the mansion the rest of your life like Miss Havisham either, right?

[identity profile] x-minibruiser.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know who that is.

I just don't wanna go on a field trip right now. Every time we go out on a field trip bad stuff happens. Leaving the mansion is okay. But every time we leave the mansion as a group for a field trip bad guys attack.

I like fighting bad guys but I don't wanna fight bad guys right now.

I'm taking a sick day from bad guys.

Plus I wanna wear my costume when I fight them but not everybody has a costume.

[identity profile] x-skin.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
OK. How about this - you and I will go to the clinic and meet everybody there. Not a field trip, it'll be us helping out completely separate from a group thing and there won't be any bad guys 'cause of the curse. I promise.

And then we'll go for movies or ice cream or something.

[identity profile] x-minibruiser.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a curse? Is it a magic curse? That makes sense! Maybe Amanda can fix it. Field trips are supposed to be fun. They were in California. We didn't fight anybody in California on field trips. Maybe we can just tell the bad guys "no kidnapping" cause I can totally fight them right where we are. We don't gotta go anywhere else.

I don't think the others wanna go either, though.

[identity profile] x-skin.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know if it's a real curse, but there sure does seem to be a pattern. And once or twice it's even gone totally fine, no trouble at all.

The very first sniff of a bad guy, Jean-Phillipe and Angel and I will get you all in the van or my car and to my mom's house, Amanda made it safe there like it is here, and then we'll go back and fight them.

[identity profile] x-minibruiser.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Just once or twice? That's not good.

We got teleported one time. All of us and didn't know the bad guys were gonna do that. And the Slendermen pulled us into another dimension and none of you guys believed us until Maddie said something. Bad guys are sneaky. Seriously.

Okay...I'll go but I get to bring my costume. If the bad guys attack us I get to wear it. And I get to help. Promise?

[identity profile] x-skin.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
And then those bad guys and the Slendermen got their butts kicked and we brought you home.

I thought you said you didn't want to fight bad guys today? But I promise.

[identity profile] x-minibruiser.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah but if Maddie hadn't figured it out....Bad guys are sneaky, that's all. There could be different kinda bad guys. Who can like...turn people into rabbits.

I don't wanna but I will if I have to. Evil needs to be vanquished. Batman says so.

[identity profile] x-deadpool.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Definitely no kidnapping, half-pint.

I like Angelo's idea. Mind if I come along on your totally separate helping expedition?

[identity profile] x-skin.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Fine by me.

See, Molly? No monsters or bad guys are gonna get near you with all of us around.

[identity profile] x-minibruiser.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Definitely. Bad guys are unfair jerks.

Of course, Wademan. You're Wademan.

But like I told Angelo if the bad guys attack I get to help. And wear my costume. Kapeesh?

[identity profile] x-wildchild.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a character from Great Expectations. It's not on your reading list, because the main character's named Pip and I can't talk about him without laughing at his name.

[identity profile] x-minibruiser.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee, Pip? Like Pipsqueak?

[identity profile] x-wildchild.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, his name's Phillip really but yeah pretty much just like that.

[identity profile] x-minibruiser.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
So is Jean-Phillip's nickname Pip too?

[identity profile] x-minibruiser.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes!

[identity profile] x-asgardian.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Can we just send them some potatoes and stay at the mansion where there aren't any monsters?

[identity profile] x-minibruiser.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
I can carry the potatoes to the truck!

[identity profile] x-firestar.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure they'd appreciate the potatoes...but no.

Besides, it'll be good to get out of the mansion. You'll get cabin fever if you spend too much time cooped up here.

[identity profile] x-hawkeye.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Technically I think we'd need the mansion to be a cabin, not a mansion, for us to get cabin fever. Also, not as big or with as much stuff to do.

[identity profile] x-hawkeye.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Can I third this? My vote is definitely for sending potatoes.

[identity profile] x-hawkeye.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
If we get grabbed by flying hippos in monkey costumes with berets and mustaches (or any derivative thereof), I think we shouldn't have to do any more service at that particular clinic because it's obviously jinxed.

[identity profile] x-dagger.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
If this happens, I am blaming you and no more watching Fantasia for you.

But yes very much jinxed.

[identity profile] x-asgardian.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Now I can't get the image of flying hippos in monkey costumes with berets and mustaches out of my head. And we all know how well that always ends up.

[identity profile] x-skin.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
You're not allowed to go to the zoo.

[identity profile] x-asgardian.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Want to chaperon?

[identity profile] x-firestar.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think the mansion is built to handle flying hippos...try to make them small?

[identity profile] x-firestar.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
You know what I'm just going to get Amanda's number pulled up on my phone and ready to call. It'll save us a step later on.

[identity profile] x-asgardian.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Speed dial is a life saver. Sometimes, literally.

[identity profile] x-deadpool.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I have a feeling getting a song stuck in your head instead would be a bad idea.

[identity profile] x-hawkeye.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Right... so I'm not gonna start singing 'It's A Small World' anywhere near you. Or that Lamp Chop song.

[identity profile] x-asgardian.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
You've only got yourself to blame if you end up six inches tall.

[identity profile] x-minibruiser.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
If they stole my berets I will be very unhappy!

[identity profile] x-hawkeye.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, I'm pretty sure nobody'd be brave enough to steal your berets. They probably stole them from some poor, unsuspecting French guy.

[identity profile] x-minibruiser.livejournal.com 2013-02-15 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
They better not. They'll regret it.

Poor French guy. Berets are important.
