Kaiser-Franz-Josef Hütten, Tyrol, Austria [Monday, daytime]

[thatsweirdright]

Good morning Fandom High students, teachers, and assorted guests! Ready to hit the slopes? The answer had better be 'yes', because that's what was happening today whether you liked it or not. Once your lesson was done, of course, you were free to do as you wished, whether that was continue hurtling down a mountain at ridiculous speeds while strapped to long sticks, or go warm up with some delicious hot beverages.

"Yeah, give me a comfortable pair of shoes, or better yet, an animal bred for transport," Mara said.

Steve grinned at him. "Does four in the morning still count as night?"

Re: Hut 3

[imafuturist]

"If you stayed awake, yes." Those were the rules. Don't blame him, he didnt make them. "Now, if you wanted to try a midnight hike..."

Tony would totally be down.

Re: Hut 3

[heroic_jawline]

Steve smiled. "We could try that, too," he said. "I don't sleep that much. If I get the hang of skiing, I saw they had night runs, too."

Re: Hut 3

[imafuturist]

"Only if you promise to rescue me from a bear or yeti." Maybe they ought to bring the shield next time with all those dangers.

Re: Hut 3

[heroic_jawline]

"I promise," Steve said, chuckling. "You didn't bring a suit?"

Re: Hut 3

[imafuturist]

"I'm pretty sure that's overkill." There was a pause before he added. "And I need to work on the mobile one."

Re: Beginners

[not_of_the_nora]

"Animals bred for transport?" Aloy echoed. "Is that a thing here?"

Re: Hut 3

[heroic_jawline]

"Of course you do," Steve said, ruffling Tony's already hilarious hair.

Re: Hut 3

[imafuturist]

"I had an arctic one." Which was even more normal of him.

And he might have tilted his head into that. A little bit. Shut up.

Re: Hut 3

[heroic_jawline]

"What happened to it?" Steve asked.

Re: Beginners

[thatsweirdright]

"No," Jason shook his head. He bit his lip, clearly thinking something through, and then came to a decision: "Normally, you'd be right- humans should take a long time to heal from something like this. But I promise you, I'll be fine in just a few hours," he said, trying his best to sound reassuring.

Re: Hut 3

[imafuturist]

"Blew it up to spite Osborn." He was dramatic like that.

Re: Beginners

[era_two_triangle]

That was not terribly reassuring, no. Peridot squinted, and then shuffled up closer to take a peek at his head injury.

"How hard did you hit that, anyway?"

Re: Beginners

[thatsweirdright]

"It's already starting to heal!" Jason insisted, using a bit of snow to wipe away the blood to reveal that he was, in fact, telling the truth. "See?"

Re: Beginners

[era_two_triangle]

Peridot blinked. And squinted. And then leaned back to look at Jason maybe a touch suspiciously.

"How?"

Was it healing spit? She'd come across a lot of healing spit as of late.

"I'm pleased they did," Hannibal said. "It can't have been pleasant. I take it Kurt was incapacitated?"

Re: Beginners

[thatsweirdright]

"It's a long story." Involving finding a magical glowing rock! "And I'm not really supposed to talk about it," he added apologetically. "So, uh. Please don't tell anyone?"

Not that anyone in Fandom would care, but rules were rules.

Re: Intermediate

[furnaceface]

Jono shook his head a little.

//Not quite. Emotionally, perhaps? He hadn't contacted the X-Men. Didn't want to. We argued about it...//

He shrugged.

//Old story now. I daresay he wasn't pleased when I managed by some bloody miracle to call Mira from halfway across sodding Europe.//

Jono, meanwhile, had simply been really damn surprised he'd pulled it off.

Re: Intermediate

[sharp_man]

"Perhaps you should have marched down the mountain and left him there," Hannibal suggested. Anybody who didn't want to be rescued...

Re: Intermediate

[furnaceface]

//... They're big mountains, Hannibal. And it was winter. In the middle of nowhere.//

Not that it would have killed Jono or anything, but he really would have preferred the rescue.

//Which isn't to say I wasn't tempted.//

Re: Beginners

[era_two_triangle]

"... Who would I tell?"

Peridot had plenty of friends around the island, but she wasn't exactly a gossip. Radio still baffled her, as a concept, beyond practical uses like emergency broadcasts.

"So you're really going to be okay? You haven't just scrambled your soft human thinkmeat in the fall?"

Re: Beginners

[thatsweirdright]

"It's more if- if someone where I'm from found out, I could get in trouble," Jason tried to explain. "I know it's not a big deal in Fandom, but..." he shrugged. "And yeah. My thinkmeat is fine." Well, no worse off than it had been, anyway. "I should be okay to walk in an hour or so, I think."

Re: Beginners

[era_two_triangle]

Peridot was very silent and very still at that, just looking at Jason intently for a good ten seconds before sighing, nodding, and taking a seat beside him.

"Okay. Then I'll wait here with you."

He made no sense. No sense. It shouldn't have been possible. But he hadn't been incorrect, either; she could tell that the gouge on his head was already healing, and none of the simulations that Dr. Lecter had provided in class had done anything like that.

Re: Hut 3

[heroic_jawline]

Steve gave him an impossibly fond look. "Of course you did."

He liked his people stubborn and dramatic.
