Dinner

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

Well, since there are so many new faces around - literally if Morgan keeps that up - I'm doing something I have not done in quite some time. Everyone's invited to my place tomorrow night for dinner. I will do the bulk of the cooking but feel free to bring a side dish, dessert or something to drink.

If anyone wishes to help, my door is always open.

And my apologies for being rather quiet of late - I was catching up on a good deal of work.

You, doing too much work?

Perish the thought.

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

Oh, Mr. Ramsey, did I just hear you volunteer for dish duty tomorrow night? How kind of you! I believe I shall take you up on that.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Depends on what's for dinner.

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

You have as yet never turned your nose up at what I have put to the table before. But don't worry, if you're looking for spicy I'll make something just for you.

And my apologies for being rather quiet of late - I was catching up on a good deal of work.

And resting. Because you have been resting, yeah? Road to recovery and all that?

I'll be there early, with a couple of bottles of red and a pair of hands for assistant chef duty. I'm wizard at peeling potatoes.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Well, mostly it's the meat thing.

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

There'll be some meat dishes but I'll keep them far from where you'll be sitting. Plenty of things for you to eat and I'll even make them interesting.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Thanks, boss lady.

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

I have, I really have. The mini-vacation and lots of rest have done me some good, I promise. I'm almost completely back on my feet.

You, my dear, are a saint. This is why I have assistants both in and out of the kitchen - to do the jobs I'm completely useless at.

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

For you? Any time.

[x-bishop.livejournal.com]

I'd like to be added to the spicy list.

[x-maverick.livejournal.com]

It has been a while since I cooked for people. If someone could direct me to a reputable butcher in the neighborhood, I will see what I can arrange.

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

And so it shall be done.

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

There's one about five blocks down; his name is George and he tends to like us since some of us, anyway, give him some decent repeat business.

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

She's hot and she's offering to feed me? Dear God, thank you! I'll bring something by to contribute as well.

And, yeah, well, the faces thing is probably going to happen a lot. Three in heavy rotation and lots of one night stands so to speak. Hey, I get bored wearing the same body all the time!

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Wanda, if Doug does dishes then I will not have anything to do except help cook and do you really want that to happen to perfectly good food?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

That reminds me, since you are the only one of us who would not be coming into the office with the same face everyday, once you are, as you say 'the office bitch', perhaps we should find something you can use so that we know what you look like without having to be overly paranoid?

We do have at least one shapeshifter who is angry with us and the X-Men, I would rather be paranoid than have to worry about Mystique impersonating you impersonating someone else.

That sentence was much too convoluted. I need coffee.

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

I can get you mugshots, so to speak, of the other two bodies I'm mostly to be wearing around. Aoife's likely to be the one I'm in most often. (Yes, different bodies all get different names.) Other than that, um, password? Secret handshake? Lanyard? ID card worn on lapel? (Except I don't wear anything that has lapels.) Or, you know, there's the easy thing of dropping unfamiliar mimics if I'm spending actual time in the office.

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

Mmm, you do have a very good point. *wiggles finger* Switch, make it so.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, but the easy way is less fun.

Perhaps I need LESS coffee...

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

Well if you want the fun version I can write the secret password on my hip and then you can ask me to take off my pants to prove who I am.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

If it was anyone else I would bring a bottle of wine but have you even finished the last four I brought over?

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I do my very best to please.

And good, we do have some very large appetites around here. There's nothing scarier than watching Jubilee eat after a powers display.

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

I finished off two, does that count?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Will you come into the office looking like Johnny Depp? Because otherwise Doug is the only person who I am asking to take their pants off in the office.

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

I witnessed her eating a bucket of extremely greasy, fried chicken. It made me lose my appetite. It gets worse than that?

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

Only if I can get my hands on him.

Note to self: Avoid office if both Doug and Marie-Ange are in it in case pantslessness ensues. OR, have camera to capture pantslessness.

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

She once defended her chicken bucket's honor from Cain Marko, a very large, very hungry friend of ours. It was frightening.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

We only ever did that in Doug's server room, and not for quite a while now.

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

I believe that might be a post-it of Mark's...

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

...Her chicken bucket had honor? Was this before or after she shoved her arm in up to her elbow? Because, really, I find once you get inside that deeply there's not really any honor left.

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

As if I'd ever pass up free food and good company. Especially since I'll be back in the country by then, I believe. I'll bring a bottle of wine, even. (If I can find some good wine.) Otherwise I'll bring crappy wine. (Although duty free has not failed me before.)

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

Oh you'll be able to find good wine around here, Jubilee. If you bring wine in a box to my table, we will have words.

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

Does this mean I'm not allowed to make little sculptures in the mashed potatoes either? *grins*

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

Marko ended up feeding it to a demon dog from another dimension. Despite my terribly lack of chicken afterwards, I can't say that I much minded. Especially since said demon dog would've been a bitch to pick up after.

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

I have no words for that one...

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

It is sort of a long story, but most of it is written up in the files.

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

You think you were wordless. You weren't the one left without chicken. I have however been known to eat more healthy style things. Just don't ever ask me to cook, I create things that man should not know.
