[The video clicks on to reveal Victor sitting in the downstairs area of the X-Bar in one of the booths. He's still bundled up with that wool hat he got and manages to look less grumpy than usual.]

I think the crazy Christmas stuff has stopped. And really, I couldn't be happier about that. Damn snowmen and crazy drinks...[He sighs.Anyway. I've got

I can do that.

Great. We're definitely going to need some girls to help on this too. Thanks, Laura.

[x23laura]

What will you want me to do ?

[green_xman]

Well, we're going to be gathering clothes up and bringing them down to the morgue so people don't have to walk around naked. And we'll need some help figuring out stuff to get for any girls that show up as well as general help carrying it all down there, folding it up, and all that.

[x23laura]

I do not know what clothes other girls would choose to wear. I can get them practical clothes.

[green_xman]

That's perfectly fine. We're going for practicality over fashion.

[x23laura]

Good. This is a sensible plan. Who else is helping you?

[green_xman]

I'm told I'm good at coming up with those. So far...Tom, Julian, Nightcrawler, Hulkling, Wiccan, and their friend Peter.

[x23laura]

Those are good choices.

I have not met Nightcrawler or Peter yet.

[green_xman]

Nightcrawler is from our world. Just earlier in the timeline. Peter's a good guy too. You'll probably meet them when we're working.

[She nods.

There is a pause.]

Teddy has said I will have a birthday party this month.

[green_xman]

He did? That sounds great, Laura. When is it?

[x23laura]

He thought it was important I should have one. It is on Friday the thirteenth of this month.

[green_xman]

It is. And it'll be great. [He's a little surprised by the date but doesn't let it show.] Nice. Who else is coming to the party?

[x23laura]

I do not know. I do not know who I would ask.

[green_xman]

Well, I'm guessing that since Teddy is throwing the party, Billy and Peter will be coming. Julian and Tom should come along too. Have you met anyone else here in this city you like? Could invite them.
