[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

That depends on what it's for. Though chances are I'll say yes just for the chance to actually do something.

I'm aiming to solve one small problem we all faced upon waking up in this messed up place. The lack of clothing.

[wunderbarbamf]

All right, well I don't mind carrying things or the snow.

Were you one of the ones that got attacked by the snowmen then?

[green_xman]

Great! I appreciate all the help I can get, Nightcrawler. Er...I mean Kurt. [Never not going to be weird talking to a teacher that way.]

[He frowns at that.] Yeah. Stupid thing ambushed me. Would've frozen to death if Julian didn't find me.

[wunderbarbamf]

Strange new place, weird things happening, think it's best we work as a team. Or something similar to a team.

[He offers a sympathetic look.]

Then thank god he was around.

[green_xman]

[Vic nods.] I said as much to someone a few days ago. We should organize and try to help each other.

Yeah. I'm glad he found me. And that those snowmen are gone.

[wunderbarbamf]

I know it's not something everyone will agree to, but I think the amount that would will make enough that everyone can get help in something.

Didn't have the misfortune of meeting a snowman, I did have a hideous sweater though. And I'm more than happy it's gone.

[green_xman]

[He nods again.] I know more than a few people around here will want to sit it out. But we'd work with who we had and do everything we could.

My friends here got those sweaters too. I avoided those myself somehow. Could have used a nice warm sweater but didn't get one.

[wunderbarbamf]

There's a few people I just wouldn't even ask. Of course, it's what we do.

I think the pirate hat made up for the constricting clothing. Are you still cold?

[green_xman]

Like who? Anyone I should avoid?

You got a pirate hat? I got this. [He taps the wool hat he's wearing. Likely the only hat he'll ever be seen wearing voluntarily.] Yeah. I hope it gets warmer around here soon.

[wunderbarbamf]

I would to be safe. I'm not sure of their names, but they don't seem...sane. I'd leave them to their own ways unless they cause too much trouble.

Well that hat looks incredibly warm. [He looks to the side and reaches off so he can grab his pirate hat and lets it flop on.]

I'm happy enough with it. Warmer would be nice, though I've felt colder in Scotland.

[green_xman]

Right. Avoid the crazies. Easy enough.

It is. Warm enough that I am violating my anti-hat rule to wear it. [He smiles at the sight of the pirate hat.]

Its a good look for you. Muir Island? Yeah, even the Danger Room simulations of that place are freezing.

[wunderbarbamf]

[ooc: 'it' not 'I' would be safe :|]

Yeah, unless they flock towards you.

You have an anti-hat rule? Well I think you suit that one.

[He touches the rim of it and smiles. He loves pirate hats.]

Gotta love the Danger Room for it's accuracy, as much as I loved it, I'll take a break from her shores.

[green_xman]

We're mutants, don't the crazies flock to us by default? Either the trying to kill us because we're mutant kind or the ones that want us to join some 'lets kill all the humans' group?

[He nods and lifts his hat a bit.] Hats tend to...irritate these. [He pokes one of the spikes poking through the carapace on his head.]

I loved the Danger Room up until the point it tried to kill us all. Then we had the Danger Cave which as a little weird since it put us in all the old missions of various X-Men...complete with the costumes they were wearing at the time. So you never knew if you'd end up in say...Psylocke's uniform when a mission started. We've got a new Danger Room out on the island though. More than one actually.

[wunderbarbamf]

Yes, but I've got a feeling the crazies here are a new category all together. Not sure if I can handle a third kind.

[He watches and let's out an 'ah' as he nods.]

You haven't been to Xavier's without the Danger Room having tried to kill you. [He pauses and blinks at the image.]

I don't think anyone but Psylocke would be able to pull that look off, but that does sound uh...interesting, the Cave I mean. I do like the idea of more than one Danger Room though. When I used it, it was one room with simulations just added.

[green_xman]

Something tells me we'll see them whether we want to or not.

[Adjusting his cap back on.] Yeah, I don't wear a lot of hats.

This time it seemed to be teamed up with a psychopathic alien warlord bent on wiping all mutants out.

The Danger Cave disagreed. And it didn't care about the target's gender either so guys could end up in some embarrassing outfits. [He smiles.] There's a lot more X-men now so we needed more space for training.
