Couldn't Return Empty Handed

He had contacted them shortly after he left. He told them all that he'd be gone for a few days, because he had something very personal to take care of, and to only contact him in the event of another emergency.

Which, thankfully, there wasn't.

No one questioned him, because they all knew how much he hated to be questioned. And they knew he'd ( Read more... )

Melody was engaging in her one of her favorite sports: lurking around until something gossip-worthy happened. That's how she was first among the students to notice Mr. Summers arrival with the pretty red haired woman.

The woman looked kinda familiar, but Melody couldn't place her until Mr. Summers called her "Jean." Then recognition dawned, and Mel realized she was looking at someone who was supposed to be dead but obviously wasn't. And that could only mean one thing!

She turned and zipped away to her room, yelling. "SAAALLL! We got zombies in the school!"

Sal had been hammering out a very gooey I'm-fine email to Lisa when she heard Melody's yell.

It was kind of like an air-raid siren.

She smirked and added to Lisa's email, ...And apparently there are zombies. I'm inclined to believe that this school is going to shatter my perceptions on pretty much everything.

By the time she was finished that, Mel was pretty close to the door. Sal turned around in her chair, waiting for the onslaught.

"SAL!" Melody somehow came to a screeching halt, despite being in mid-air. "Mr. Summers! Corpse Bride! Ya gotta come cleanse the scourge with your holy fire!"

She's doing her damnedest to haul Sal out the door.

newfiemolotov October 6 2008, 03:15:48 UTC

Sal sighed.

"This's a school, not World of Warcraft..." But she stood up and let herself be hauled.

At least this was someone who was supposed to be dead being alive instead of the inverse.

Melody drags Sal boldly in front of Mr. Summers and his undead wife. But not too closely, just in case the zombie tries to eat her brains.

"ZOMBIE!" She points an accusing finger at Jean.

"THIS," she declares, pointing a finger at Sal, "is my BOOMSTICK!"

Sal looked at Scott and the woman, and raised her arms and -

- waved.

"Hi."

Then she turned to her companion and dealt the younger girl a look. "Mel, she's not undead, b'y. If she was undead, there'd be a smell, I'm bettin'."

aero_guthrie October 6 2008, 03:39:17 UTC

Melody is now hovering behind Sal for protection. She pokes her in the back.

"It's evil an' undead and it's gonna eat my brains! You gotta git it, Sal!"

Mel peeked around Sal and took a big sniff in Jean's direction. "She could be a fresh zombie. Or she coulda just used some Febreze! Or-" GASP! "she could be a vampire! They're undead too!"

She looked beseechingly at Cyclops. "Don't let her suck on' ya, Mr. Summers!"

newfiemolotov October 6 2008, 03:41:14 UTC

"No." Sal rolled her eyes. "Mel. Calm down, b'y."

Then she grinned at the woman apologetically. "Sorry 'bout this. Name's Sal. I'm relatively new an' way too old to be here."

Scott kept a straight face through this ordeal.

Mostly. There was a slight quirk of a smile.

"Sal, meet my very much alive, not-an-undead-zombie wife, Jean. Jean, this is Sal Gillam, Wolverine's newest trainee, and I'm sure you remember young Ms. Melody Guthrie."

aero_guthrie October 6 2008, 03:51:16 UTC

The zombie-pire must have already cast her mind tricks on Mr. Summers! Well, she's not gonna get Sal, not while Melody has anything to say about it!

"C'mon, Sal!" She's now trying to drag Sal away. "You don't make friends with the walking dead!"

newfiemolotov October 6 2008, 03:54:08 UTC

"Nice to meet ye, Jean. So - gotta ask here, 'cause I'm curious - what's the story then? You were dead, an' then...?"

Melody was firmly ignored.

aero_guthrie October 6 2008, 04:04:34 UTC

"Gahh!" Melody flailed and flew away. If Sal was gonna be stubborn, that was her call. Mel isn't going to hang around waiting for her brains to get eaten!

jean_gr3y October 6 2008, 15:50:13 UTC

"And now I'm not," Jean replied. "Come into the kitchen with us and I'll tell a big group. Otherwise, I'll be repeating myself all day." She looks after the girl who flew away. "And then you can assure your friend that I'm not a brain-eating zombie."

newfiemolotov October 8 2008, 04:25:27 UTC

Sal sighed.

"There... ain't much I can do to assure Mel of anythin'. She thinks yer a zombie, an' a zombie ye'll be fer now, unfortunately." Then she laughed. "Right. I'll come 'long with you, then."

"Then Miss Melody must learn the discipline nessicary to accept the limits of her perceptions. It is only through knowledge of these limits that she may surpass them." The voice is...clipped. Intense. Like the speaker spent all of his time holding back the Atlantic ocean by sticking a finger in a dam. But the harshness of Professor X's tone is not intentional, and most students quickly learn the difference from 'Normal Charles' and 'Professor X is upset', if only because the latter is that much worse. "As you, Ms. Gillam, need to remember that we live in a world of improbability. There is nothing impossible about a dead body being forced back in to a mockery of life to serve the foul ends of whatever depraved mind would so command it ( ... )
