x-factor investigations starts off with some great PR

-- unbelievable.

[ there's the sound of clattering as the video comes on, like someone knocked the communicator over but is obviously too preoccupied to notice. even though there's only a crooked view of someone's feet, rictor's voice is raised and clearly audible. ]

What part of this did you think I'd be okay with, exactly? Or weren't you thinking about me at all?

I do not know. [shatterstar sounds defensive, but like he's rather missing the point:] Why would this upset you? You were not here.

Why would it upset me? [ there's a tone of incredulity in rictor's voice. ] Oh, wait. That's right. You wouldn't understand because you have no concept of what it feels like to only want to be with one person.

When I was not in your dimension, you were with others. How is this different? [a beat, heatedly:] And you also wish to be with Rahne.

Rahne is different. I thought she was pregnant with my -- [ hhurghh. ] That's not the point.

[ the camera starts to get unsteady, trembling a little at first, then more as rictor continues to raise his voice. ]

This isn't about me and her. It's about us, or if there even is an us at all --

Of course there is an- [and then, when the shaking becomes too intense to ignore-] Rictor? Julio!

There you go, bright side to everything. How's it feel to be able to shake things up again?

[ a half-beat. ]

A danger room, or the Danger Room? I haven't met her personally, but she doesn't seem to be much of a room anymore.

[That gets a laugh.]

We built a Danger Room a couple years ago, when we opened the school. Danger just arrived not too long ago. So the answer is, both, actually.

That reminds me -- the things I left. Last time I was here. Do you still want me to come by and get them?

Sure, if you want them. They're just in storage.

[ooc: I'm probably going to do a Danger Room/school open log this week if you want to play that out.]

If I'm not in, find Kurt, he'll know where everything is.
