( So if you really want to protect us...you'll accept us. )

Complicated, that was the only thought that came to his mind in bleary focus as he came to on the floor with the battered book somewhere under him. He fished it out with one hand and stared at the dead crystal. "Thanks, would it kill you to give me some audio next time? Survey says it would make sense then." He cracked his neck after a moment and slowly sat up, ignoring the stinging ache in his body from injuries he knew he didn't really have. Not now that is. Great, just great.

"My moral compass shouldn't be this confusing." He muttered as he pushed to his feet and shuffled over to the bookshelf. Normally he'd think this was a bad idea he needed to stop in its tracks before he did something stupid. But he just had to know what happened to everyone and why their own teammate had shot them. He had to be a teammate. That feeling persisted as he shoved aside his books to get at the buried crystal hidden within. He didn't even notice what he was wearing at the moment. It was inconsequential compared to the burning desire to know any answer he could grasp out of the shining crystal he hadn't used.

It was a bad idea. He knew it the moment the crystal began to show him what it contained.

Informative that was for certain. He swallowed as he stumbled for the couch, his feet hardly knowing where to place themselves. That man - the sick bastard that hurt the person he suspects is Throne...Teddy did he really tell him to die? He hoped not. He wouldn't use his magic like that. Even if- Code collapsed on the sofa and pulled the plush pillow over his head. Don't think about it, he told himself. Teddy was safely far away from here. Keyword being safe. He missed him terribly but, he'd rather he be safe than stuck in hell with everyone else. All his feelings needed sorted out anyways.

ooc: First memory is Sight and touch, Code's of YA regular series issue 4, pages 18-21. The second is Throne's memory of Touch/Sound from Civil War: YA and Runaways tie in, issue four, pages 1, 2, 6, and 9.

Finally! Something I can get behind!

Oh sure, its annoying, and yeah you don't want to be playing. So what? A few games to unwind isn't going to hurt anybody. So I got to say to you lot...


Bad boys, bad boys. Watcha gonna do, watcha gonna do when I come for you~

Last I checked breakfast wasn't that big of a deal. Singing it in four part harmony when I pour my cereal is a little much. When you make the basics of life sound like harrowing details, I think you're really reaching. Long time no see dudes.

Don't sing about me complaining either.

So I'm being told I'm pure as they come if the seven little unicorns following me were ever I go are a standard on that. If they look familiar to anyone but D, you might have met who they represent.

Little G, you're around right? Sorry to keep you waiting.

Its not just me noticing the...things hanging overhead is it? I'd like to hope not they're a little obvious.

And hey, any here knowledgeable in the arcane? I need a little help with something.

Normally I don't write about this sort of thing. Its weird and almost disturbing, but if I don't ask about it my head is going to explode. ...Not literally but you know. If you don't ask you never receive an answer? That sort of explode. Though in this place you never know.

The Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Those names ring a bell? It feels right sorta thing the first one is me.

Raise of hands here, who knows about a Genosha? No one? Anyone? Just mark it down and pass the questionare on.

And Tree? Don't put this kind of thing in my socks next time. It was too early in the morning when I found it.

[There's several struck out words before a start.]

I'm going to be out for a bit. Not to be insensitive or anything, if you need me just come to the park. I promised Bastet I'd follow up on a project we were curious about.

Excuse me, Jerk who invaded my personal space

There's a practice I find not cool. Not only did you toe that line but you ran across it and danced around it. I don't know what I did to you but my carpet is smoking. I'm glad you're fine and the burger wasn't bad but do that again and I will...make my carpet smoke again.

Just an fyi.

I keep hearing about some Ball, what's that about? Anyways, anyone else notice the tree is not a you know tree anymore? I keep starting these out talking about the tree what the hell. I was on my way to work a few mornings back and noticed a fish go swimming flying by. This is days late entry but I've been sorta busy.

I had to do some moving finally and then get the necessities. The good stuff that makes the surveys true about social behaviors. I'm not too sure on my cooking skills but I've been getting by on toast. ...So who here understands moonspeak? Who tends to get confused when I make references to things I don't even remember?

So this is the Tree. Its not too bad for you know, a tree. I'm not sure what I can do seeing as it feels like I haven't held a job. Willing to try whatever I can find of course. Beggars can't be choosers and what not.

From the reactions I'm guessing I got lucky in the pajamas department. The pillow isn't too bad but whoever whacked me from behind you're going down. You'll go down better than all the history of going down can provide. Just so you know.

[There's a pause in the writing before more is added.]

Never mind, found a job. Since we need to fix sections one and two I'll go get cracking on my job, okay? Maintenance what do you need? Nails, bolts, etc? Give me a list.

[Written in latter]

Hey, uhh Bridge? I was told you were getting together a list of what to get for the maintenance crews. Mind if I tag along?

...There are no words, man. No words. Good news, I found the bathrooms. Bad news, they're made of sugar glass. You read that right. Sugar glass. That stuff they pretend is real glass.


Don't ask how I know just trust me. Hey E? Yeah it was going to be lame either way but this is just totally wrong.


'Sparkle' moons is not on the agenda. D you okay man?

[ooc: He had one of Fugue's dreams. First response after thinking about it is to check on the twin.]

Okay. So, before anyone asks where I've been and how could I be gone so long - I don't remember this place. I don't remember what name I went by but call me Codename. Code for short.

That aside, B and D? Thanks for all of your help. If you don't mind I'll be sticking near you as I adjust to this...store? I'm seeing price tags on the beds and its all looking a bit familiar. We can take bedding to move up to the tree with when its safe right?

So uh, hi.
