⊗1; ☄ “voice”

[pyrotechnics]

You know, just once I'd like to go on a vacation that doesn't end up with me somehow waking up with a headache. Just once! I'm getting sick of sleeping gas and I want my clothes!

And wings? Wings I could deal with. You know who has wings? Angel. But he can fly with his! And all these things are giving me is a pain in the...

This isn't my diary... That's not the right date... this is too weird. Too weird. I'd better call the Professor...

You'd think that a te- Woah!

[ and in the dark, jubilee doesn't notice that tree branch. the girl trips over it, and mistaking it as a possible assailiant, twists around to let loose a blast. but as she's in the middle of falling--

tonight, luceti, you're greeted to a show! there's a sea of fireworks lighting up your evening skies. ]

[...the professor?

But the voice doesn't really sound like anyone she knows but there is something familiar about it. But those lights. Those lights are even more familiar than the voice. In her confusion, Rogue's drawl thickens.]

Easy there, sugar. Ya don't want ta catch things on fire.

[ that's... a familiar voice. at first. she hears the southern twang, the sugar and feels a little relief. ]

No worries here. I just wasn't expecting everything to suddenly go dark on me.

[touchofrogue]

Yeah, there ain't much light out in the forest. [There's actually some sympathy in her tone, because the other girl is trying to brave it out and Rogue can respect that.]

Are ya at a place where ya can climb ta see the village lights?

[mallbabe.livejournal.com]

There are plenty of trees around. [ she could use the pafs as a light source, but she's worried her control might catch something on fire. ] I guess it's time for Jubilee of the Jungle to climb again.

[Did she just say--]

Jubliee?

[mallbabe.livejournal.com]

That is you, isn't it Rogue? [ ... but she sounds younger. and gloomier ]

[touchofrogue]

Last time I checked. [But you - you don't look like the Jubliee she knows.

Man. All those 'other Earths' and the thought that there would be others of her friends, even though she knows that there have been others of her here before... she doesn't like this at all.]

Listen, gal, have I got a story for ya. But first you've gotta get your way inta town. Got any landmarks for where ya are?

[mallbabe.livejournal.com]

Not that I can see. Which isn't much, it gets dark here... But I just got in touch with Nightcrawler. It shouldn't be too hard to throw up a signal.

[touchofrogue]

Kurt? [So she knows him too but -- maybe she was wrong?]

That's good. He'll get ya into town.
