When you're big in Japan, you don't have to worry about crazy Southern women.
Boy, I wish I were big in Japan. I have never seen a woman without a hormonal imbalance go from hot to cold so quickly. Then again, maybe I'm overexaggerating since I seem to be somewhere in the crux of Rogue's emotional upheaval. I haven't totally cut myself off from her. even though that is pretty damn tempting. Though basically she and I are only in the same area together for her lessons. With added Longshot or Mrs. Summers to make sure she takes this stuff seriously now. Joseph keeps asking if he can lend a hand. I'm a little leery of that. There's some history between those two I'm not quite clear on, but I can't turn away a hand offered in help.
I do manage to avoid other social situations with Rogue by taking care of other business with everybody else. My little plastic card of purchasing power is whimpering from going out with McCoy and Reyes to stock up medical supplies. You have no idea how hard it was to talk both of them out of buying a big machine that neither could satisfactorily explain what it does in plain English. If I don't understand what it does and have a feeling it isn't going to be used all that often, I'm not going to buy it. They can both beg Chuckles when we finally get him back to the mansion.
Speaking of which, Timoth called this morning about a possible lead. He had nothing confirmable yet because it looks like Charles keeps getting moved. I'm surprised Timmy is keeping a personal eye on this one. Then again, a lot of the contracting jobs Black Horse Inc. gets is from Chuckles. That may explain why Timoth sent my little sister undercover to get better information. I have a funny feeling there may be a charge later for doing this.
Anyway, after taking care of the medical supply run and talking even more with McCoy, who is now firmly convinced he needs to get me in a lab for a little study, I managed to escape to the Great Outdoors. Only to be slyly hoodwinked into helping Storm plant things. And considering all the recent events, that was a pleasant way to spend the day. However, I am so glad I do not get sunburns. Because I would be very much burned. Especially when I shed my shirt in a show of manliness. I don't think I impressed anybody around here, but it did feel nice to have a breeze blowing across my skin.
Playing in the dirt set my mind at ease for the first time in awhile. Hopefully Ororo will have some more planting to be done tomorrow.
