Jean-Paul and Simon, backdated to 7/13/13

[om_northstar]

Jean-Paul and Simon head into New York for business and pleasure. Jean-Paul lets Simon in on the Great Mutant Outing coming up.

( But if they spent money on feeding people, what would they have used to pay for the fake pine trees? Think, Simon! )

Jeanne-Marie and River

[om_ariel]

Jeanne-Marie decides to visit River now that she's back in her room. It could have gone much worse.

( Between 18 and 35% of people sneeze when exposed to sudden, bright light. )

Simon T. and Jack, backdated to July 13

[om_captain]

In search of answers about his lost ability and non-dead-ness, Jack goes to see Simon Tam. It's rough on both of them, especially when they start talking about River.

( Jack really shouldn't feel like he'd been sucker punched. And yet... )

Philip and Pietro, backdated to the BBQ party

[om_quicksilver]

Pietro sees an opportunity to brighten up the scenery and takes it. His cover blown, Philip goes all in and makes him pay for his crimes. Inventively and with great flexibility.

( You're looking a little pink, are you getting too much sun? )

Melissa and Pietro, backdated to her birthday party

[om_janus]

Melissa and Pietro hang out together at the BBQ as Pietro takes his duty as 'sober companion' very seriously (with the usual amount of silliness)

( Promise me you'll never change! )

Jack and Felix, Backdated to the Birthday Party

[om_captain]

Jack and Felix meet! And Jack only goes a little emo - progress! All in all, it's pretty sweet.

( And what do you dream about, Felix? )

Alisha, Nathan, and Harley, backdated to July 13

[om_vault]

At the birthday bash, Alisha and Nathan are soaking up some sun when Harley crashes the conversation. Nathan dutifully attempts to corrupt Harley, Alisha tries to keep things in hand, and Harley... gets drunk.

( And you can't leave me alone with the baby, not now! A girl needs her mum-figure in her life! )

Paige and Shinobi, Backdated 12 June '13

[om_upstart]

Shinobi rouses himself to bother his girlfriend. He does his best to be supportive and reassuring, and, despite himself, possibly manages to succeed a little.

( I reckon. Someone has to keep you out of trouble. )

Vance and River - Backdated to Thursday

[om_ariel]

Now that River is back in her room, Vance goes to visit her. And brings her a mix CD he made for her. Because he is the sweetest sweetheart that ever sweeted. Alas, all of it's a bit much for River.

( You're not a shadow. You're River Tam. You've got one of the best smiles ever, and you dance like a master, and you're probably the smartest person I ever met. )

Shinobi, Vance and Victor backdated to the party 13/07/2013

[om_anole]

Tensions are running high as Victor and Vance's closeted relationship status makes for a bad situation at Curtis and Alice's party. Add Shinobi's unique brand of refereeing to the mix and you've got a recipe for disaster, or have you?


(  Vance, the bright-eyed idealist, clearly had a much easier time living with a lie than Victor, the actor. )

Caius, Curtis and Pietro, backdated to the birthday party 13/07/2013

[om_janus]

Curtis changes to his 'pretty boy' male form and ends up dancing with an even prettier boy before being informed exactly how old said boy is and being appropriately mortified.

( Read more... )

Jack and Pietro, backdated to the birthday BBQ

[om_quicksilver]

As the party dies down, Jack brings Pietro a drink, and hopeless daydreaming flirting ensues. Cue all of the tension, a side-helping of guilt, and none of the resolution.

( Things between them COULD be so easy - in some parallel universe where Jack had never been connected to the Facility, and Pietro never had to rescue friends, they would be. )

Anders and Alice - At the party

[om_malice]

Anders steals Alice for a little while. And, for once, gets a snog without using his voice.

( Uh, I kind of sort of got you something. )

Curtis and Alice - At the party

[om_malice]

The two birthday peeps catch up, share a little more history, and flirt shamelessly. Especially after Alice is introduced to Curtis's original form for the first time.

( We should have parties in honour of us more often. )
